I have tagged this article for notability, since it is a TV news programme which features a few BBC News reports from the past week. I'm not sure that really warrants an individual article, when the channels and organisations that create it and broadcast it are well represented with their own articles.

  • Very strong keep — I rewrote the article as a short but clean stub using reliable secondary sources. According to this Spokesman Review article, "the facts of the Shriner case were compelling enough to trigger a statewide paroxysm of outrage" and "Meanwhile the Legislature, pprovoked by public outrage based largely on the Shriner case, is well on the way to enacting laws allowing longer incarceration of chronic sex offenders". this Seattle Post Intelligencer article. This Tacoma News Tribune article even states that "the furor over Shriner's attack led to the Community Protection Act of 1990" (see more about the Washington Community Protection act on Sexually violent predator). The coverage has been nation-wide, and as we're talking about an 1989 crime, Google News is not of much help. PanchoS (talk) 18:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: sorry to repeat Armbrust's argument, but even after the save attempt the criteria in WP:PERPETRATOR are not met. It is only a guideline, and there is always IAR as a way out, but as it stands it fails notability requirements. --Pgallert (talk) 07:31, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, but now believe the coverage was significant enough to enough for general notability, and the case was important enough to have a far reaching impact on how we deal with monsters like the subject. I don't believe in "only a guideline". If it's a guideline, follow it when possible, but the impact tips me in favor of notability. "Intense media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act, provided such coverage meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on reliable sources. " In this case, as much as I wanted to delete this, it does. <gnashing teeth /> Dlohcierekim 15:17, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment The article is vastly improved over what it looked like at the start. Dlohcierekim 15:22, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks! I further expanded it and found a number of additional relevant citations, including in academical works, including citations in Canada and Germany. While the question could arise whether according to WP:CRIMINAL the criminal act might be notable rather than the perpetrator, this case clearly shows that it was his criminal career rather than the single crime that led to a public outrage of this scale, finally forcing legislature to enact more severe laws against so called sexually violent predators.

fails WP:POLITICIAN. On the subject of his "bust-up", while this does provide coverage, it is carefully excised through WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:BLP1E. Ironholds (talk) 17:18, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Are you sure about WP:NOT#NEWS? It's turned into quite an incident on the Isle of Wight. The article is good too, and well referenced. Arriva436talk/contribs 17:42, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't think that the recent event adds much to notability, but the subject does pass WP:POLITICIAN criterion 2 as a county council leader (or, to be pedantic, leader of a unitary authority which is co-terminous with a former county) who has received significant press coverage. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:07, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Having thought more about this, I have decided to vote keep. As Phil says, he has received significant press coverage, as seen in the references of the article. I do think that the bust up increases notability. Not many politicians are seen to say that sort of thing in public. As I says, it's a big topic on the IOW at the moment. Just look at these Ventnor Blog entries. I know not particularly reliable, but [1] 153 comments, [2] 255 comments, [3] 147 comments. These are all unprecedented amounts of comments for the blog to receive. Arriva436talk/contribs 19:46, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply to both WP:BLP1E, anyone? much of said news coverage is about this incident involving the "bust-up", and all of it comes from the same, local source; precisely the type of paper to cover the council leader. If local news = passing WP:POLITICIAN, every councillor in Britain could have an article. I was also unaware that WP:POLITICIAN was intended to overrule our BLP policies. Ironholds (talk) 00:10, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It looks like the event at Cowes Yacht Haven isn't over yet. A number of councillors are now demanding a probe into the event by an independent body. (see [4]). Although it happened on the 18th February it still remains a very much discussed event. Editor5807speak 13:15, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NW (Talk) 23:26, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I struggle to see how this can be described as a BLP1E, the article does not give undue weight to any incident and the article gives a reasonable coverage of the individual as a biography rather than centred on any one incident. I also agree with Phil Bridger that the article does pass WP:POLITICIAN and would happy that any such politician, who has enough coverage for us write this good an article, should be kept.

  • Keep long established standard product, and by our usual guidelines, worth an article. There are clearly enough sources. DGG ( talk ) 16:48, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • And yet the article is still in the same condition as before nomination, with no sources, and barely the slightest assertation of notability. There is no indication that its previous name was Pepcid AC in the article. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 17:11, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're using "assertion of notability" in the wrong way here. Articles don't need to scream out why they're notable in the first sentence. There only needs to be some indication that they might be notable. The discussion above supports the idea that it's a well known, frequently used, and notable product. A merge might be more appropriate, but whether or not its notability needs to be clearer in the article isn't an issue. Shadowjams (talk) 20:07, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question where are the multiple non-trivial sources for this "long established standard product"? JBsupreme (talk) 22:57, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further Comment. According to Pepcids website and multiple hits when searching for "Pepcid AC Pepcid Complete", the products are NOT the same. So again, I'm asking where the notability of Pepcid Complete lies. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 02:15, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • The reference you provided is effectively a catalogue entry, and fails the "significant coverage" requirement by some distance. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 18:22, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content.", which is what we have here. The only issue with catalogues is that we don't write like a sales catalogue. But this is irrelevant as the source provided is such a catalogue and we are not planning to write in such a style.

  • Delete. does not establish notability. looking at the last afd, even this articles creator has abandoned it. only reason last afd appears to have ended was because participants do not like nominator. Misterdiscreet (talk) 23:05, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no strong opinion on whether this article should stay or go, but you have appear to have missed the point spectacularly with your "only reason last afd appears to have ended was because participants do not like nominator". I suggest that you think more carefully before inserting foot in mouth next time. --Malleus Fatuorum 00:26, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • i agree. it does not matter what involvement cousins properties had with Bank of America Plaza since notability is not inherited Misterdiscreet (talk) 05:34, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I added an article from The New York Times about one of the company's projects in Austin, Texas. In general, companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange are very likely to be notable, even though they aren't (in most cases) automatically notable. "Notability is not inherited" is sometimes misunderstood. If a company does something notable, then it is notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:08, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The article that Eastmain added was not from The New York Times it was another one from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. A search of The New York Times for the past five years showed no articles about Cousins Properties. A general search of newspapers found a couple of one-liners in articles in The Austin American-Statesman that mention that Cousins Properties built and managed the 33-story Frost Tower until it was sold to Thomas Properties Group Inc. in 2007. It does appear that Cousins Properties is primarily of local Atlanta interest. --Bejnar (talk) 02:55, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

it is up for AfD because it is non notable. and with three votes to delete (two votes and the nomination) and with one to keep the outcome of this AfD is clear despite your not having a clue Misterdiscreet (talk) 15:41, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I respectfully disagree. And vehemently in this case. This company appears to be a major developer, which has developed over 20 million square feet of commercial space, 20 million feet of retail space, 60 suburban developments, and is credited for having a major impact on the Atlanta skyline due to skyscrapers it has developed. The article may have been bare when nominated, but the company is simply not "unnotable" and it indeed has significant coverage in many sources. I cannot think of an AfD like this in recent memory, I am afraid said clue is absent from your noggin, Sherlock. Cheers.--Milowent (talk) 15:48, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
that is a nice bit of self-aggrandizing. why not add to the article that they are the most awesomest company in the world as well? Misterdiscreet (talk) 20:48, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I never heard of them before yesterday, but they are the most awesomest company in the world.--Milowent (talk) 00:00, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Eleven independent sources, including the WSJ. It was presumably nominated because at that time there was only one independent reference, yet even that one was enough to show it a major company. Why one contrtbutor thinks that stories reporting the company's profit are irrelevant puzzles me considerable because that's one of the key things that makes businesses notable. Why another contributor thinks that showing involvement with a major project is not relevant puzzles me also, because that's another of the key things that makes businesses notable. But a just previous comment that counting votes in the middle of the discussion is not only appropriate but an argument for deletion in its own right really leaves me speechless. DGG ( talk ) 16:02, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nomination withdrawn due to a decent rescue job by Milowent. Could have done with a few thinly-veiled accusations of bad-faith but there we go, happy to withdraw nomination. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 17:41, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, this is a non-notable webcomic which fails GNG. The limited coverage it does have is superficial, such as appearing in a long list of names in the Editor & Publisher journal, the remainder of coverage coming from blogs and the like. JBsupreme (talk) 22:32, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, probably Google Books reveals a few sources for this (in print, no less). This contains a lengthy interview with the cartoonist. Here is another shorter interview from Wired. This book published by the University of Michigan refers to the comic, but there's no preview; this one from Rough Guides has an entry for it. There are also a number of news sources of varying length and depth refering to it.[5]--Cúchullain t/c 00:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The webcomic has gone from web only to published in print, which is a vote of confidence in commercial terms. My vote is clear, but I would note that to properly argue "keep" or "delete" requires a degree of quantification: could someone kindly define the vague and subjective terms "non-notable" and "limited coverage"? What are the exact cut off points? The absence of definition gives an unfortunate impression of arbitrary decision, IMHO worth avoiding. Cheros (talk) 09:27, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge and Redirect into Brecht Forum The article needs cleanup, but political activists (left and right) do not have a specific notability criteria, and hence general notability WP:NOTE applies solely, and I think this subject meets the standard in his specific context of extra-parliamentarian political activism (in particular, he has been published by reliable third parties, who makes him an author who was attacked in the mainstream media - notability is a line in the sand, and I think this crosses it). There are some issue with sourcing that can be fixed (the subject does show up in google and has been involved in notable efforts as a notable, documented participant in these efforts). Certainly he is propelled to the forefront by Glenn Beck's attacks and I can understand the whiff of WP:NOT#NEWS Cobaltbluetony feels, because I also get it. But Glenn Beck attacking someone is not pedestrian, and there is reason why the attack happens: this subject is recognized as an influential person (one of the measures of notability) in his melieu, and while notability is not inherited, it is certainly contextual: of all the people who speak of communism in the Bretch Forum (I mean, the Forum is named for a card-carrying commie :D), Beck chose Brandt for a reason. Notability cannot be revoked, so even if Glenn Beck changes his mind, for better or for worse, he has made Jed Brandt wiki-notable. That said, even if my argument is not convincing, and the community feels this is not article-worthy, I offer that rather than deletion, a merger of the web available biographical information and the FoxNews link be included in Bretch Forum as a section, because it would allow to access the information on this particular controversy, which based on the notability of both Glenn Beck and the Brecht Forum, its not a trivial matter as per WP:NOT#NEWS. There, I did my WP:ARS job for the time being, where is my cookie? :P--Cerejota (talk) 01:31, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep Wikipedia is about more information not less. This has become a very notable subject, since he was given not just a few minutes, but almost an entire show (rant) by Glen Beck, who has a large audience following on Fox. There will be lots of traffic, as a result, looking for an entry about this published activist, who is now in Nepal covering the Communist movement there (which won the elections, btw). So, when people come to look for info, on someone who is now in the public eye, I'd hope Wikipedia will not let down those who come here expecting to find information. Notability for activists as Cerejota points out is rather general per WP:NOTE, and this meets that criteria.76.14.42.191 (talk) 09:34, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with the above, so Strong Keep. If Gleen Beck is devoting nearly an entire show to him, he is notable. --Postbagboy (talk) 19:40, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Brandt's activities and current news-worthyness is notable and relevant enough to constitute an article. While there is too much information there on his life story and as per Cerejota, the article should be cleaned up (rather than deleted).

  • Comment. I think the article was conceived because Beck says in the famous clip that he couldn't even find a Wikipedia article on Brandt. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - pretty obvious case of WP:ONEEVENT. There is no coverage of this guy prior to the Glenn Beck thing. He is not a known political figure, even within radical left politics. He is just some guy who happened to say things that a TV host could showcase for his own questionable purposes. EvanHarper (talk) 20:16, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - With regards to Brandt's published writings, speeches, organizing and activism, how is he less notable then people like Joseph Epstein (writer) or P. David Hornik or Bill Whittle or Kathy Shaidle? I can tell you none of these people had half an hour devoted to them on a highly rated national television show (who complained about Brandt's lack of a Wikipedia entry), not to mention Brandt's work on left (and some non-left) publications, in addition to speeches, organizing and activism he has been engaged in. Do a Twitter search for Jed Brandt[6]. Then try Kathy Shaidle, Bill Whittle, P. David Hornik or Joseph Epstein, all who have been deemed worthy of having articles. Ruy Lopez (talk) 06:17, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment for one thing, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. For another, some of your examples are clearly not comparable; Epstein is an editor at one major national publication and a frequent contributor to many others. And: a Twitter search? Really? EvanHarper (talk) 07:47, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment "major national publication"? The largest publication Epstein has printed in has a circulation of 80,664. Time magazine, the 14th largest publication in the US, has a circulation of over 3.3 million. The 89th largest publication in the US, the New Yorker, has a circulation of over 1 million. Those are major national publications. A magazine with a circulation of 80,664 is not a major national publication. Also you say WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Are you saying these people (other than Joey "80664" Epstein) are non-notable? If so I will send them all to AFD and note that you agree they are non-notable. If you think they are notable, then as I have said, Brandt is more notable than them.Ruy Lopez (talk) 08:42, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment The Twitter search was revealing in that it shows he is all over the blogsphere now, being blogged and talked about online by a significant array of bloggers. Given that Glenn Beck shined his spotlight all over this guy, his notablity has skyrocketed, and continues to grow, a snowballing effect that Wikipedia is part of. Ignoring this is a bit delusional. Once the bell is rung, it cant be unrung, the guy is notable enough for mention on Wikipedia. Otherwise, everyone is going to be talking about him except Wikipedia. Remember, this is not just some fringe news coverage, this is Glen Beck, we are talking about, mainstream number one rated in terms of viewers, and it was not a short mention, either. This is a no brainer, KEEP. 76.14.42.191 (talk) 08:17, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Not sure if anyone else has followed Glenn Beck's show, but he did it again. Yes, again, he ran a show on Jed Brandt, doing some typical MacCarthyist anti-communism, scare story. Anyway, now its not just a 'one time event," since Glenn Beck is attacking Jed Brandt TWICE. I also notice more blogs repeating it, as is usual in the right-wing echo chamber.76.14.42.191 (talk) 07:44, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment to closing admin - There is an argument to be made around WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS applies here, but I am of the view that it is misapplied in this case. Having been in many AfDs and DRs etc (hell, one almost got me blocked for 24 hours! - and am a veteran of Epic ArbComs and never got blocks from that, so try to make the mental picture ;), I can say without a doubt the community's intent in supporting the WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is based on the intent of trying to WP:POINT because someone is hurt that their article was baleted, or cannot tolerate the existence of that article that was kept - that is, to keep AfD trolls at bay from arguing endlessly that *their article* got deleted or *that article* got kept. In this particular discussion, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS doesn't apply because the comparison is one gauging current community consensus around what is notable and what isn't, which can only be reasonably done by looking at previous consensus. There is no attempt, that that I can tell to be pointy. Quite the contrary, a reasoned argument was made for deletion and has been followed by reasoned arguments for keeping. Regardless of outcome, I ask the closing admin to concentrate on the cardinal point of notability keeping in mind the following:
  • Notability is not a hierarchy, it is a line in the sand - you are either notable enough for an article or you aren't. Certainly before the Glenn Beck segment(s) this threshold was not met. The question is if these segments changed that. Ultimately, this is the most important aspect and the pivot for a decision for or against deletion.
  • Notability is not the same as notoriety; one must avoid WP:IDONTKNOWIT - In general BLPs are for people who are notable in their field of endeavor, which can be as mainstream as national political leaders, as obscure as particle physicists, as scary as serial killers, as pedestrian as an elected official, as crazy as a conspiracy theorist etc. It is not a measure of how well known a person is to global society, but of giving readers a wide view of the people in a given field, for which they are known for. L. Ron Hubbard is notable for being a sci-fi writer and a founder of a religion - that he also was a musician is not a measure of notability for him. In this case, I argued that the field is extra-parliamentarian political activism, specifically the (self-identified) communist left. So we have to determine if Jed Brandt is actually notable in that field or not. To try to measure this article by any other yardstick would be to not base oneself in what notability has been generally been seen as.
  • Notability is not a subjective criteria - notability can be verified, by reliable sources and by supporting (primary, tertiary or secondary) sources that are not reliable.
  • A good measure of notability is if the given article can be linked to other articles that already exist - that is, it is not going to be an orphan and will add important information to the linked topics.

I already made an argument to keep or merge, so I am not revisiting it, but the discussion seems to have lost some focus on what is meant when we say notability in wikipedia.--Cerejota (talk) 06:40, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • There is the fourth show on Glenn Beck where he mentions Jed Brandt: http://video.foxnews.com/v/4066227/workers-of-the-world-unite Show me someone else who is on Glenn Becks four times, and I bet that person has a wikipedia entry.76.14.42.191 (talk) 19:54, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I do not see the notability here. Cerejota's reasoning is coherent but does not, in this specific case, convince me. Someone else is going to have to write about the subject before WP:N is met. And even if being mentioned by Beck would make someone notable, we have a fundamental problem here: no other sources mention him or give any detail, except for his own website--so the only two possible sources would be Beck and subject, and neither are reliable sources, and you'd be left with a stub that would look very much like that of a fictional character written in in-universe terms. Drmies (talk) 00:26, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hilary Duff is a notable musician, but this is not a particularly notable release. Per WP:NALBUM: "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting." This article is little more than a tracklist and a paragraph consisting of an overview of the content and original research. If this were to be deleted, sufficient information could be located at Hilary Duff discography, so a merge is unnecessary. –Chase (talk) 21:50, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: I would like to note that the arguments (for both keep and delete) raised in the last AfD were poor.
  • "This is not a major album release, it is released on I-Tunes only." That's not why it should be deleted; it should be deleted because there's hardly any verifiable info about it.
  • "It's also her first live album." Irrelevant.
  • "Why is this being considered for deletion when many other exclusive iTunes albums/EPs aren't?" WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Also, some iTunes-exclusive albums are more notable than this.
  • "This is her first live album, its part of her discography, so it has to stay. NO matter if it doesnt have a major release, its important to her music career" An album that didn't chart anywhere isn't very important to her career, if you ask me. And this doesn't have to stay just because it's a part of her discography; note is made of it at Hilary Duff discography and that should suffice. –Chase (talk) 21:56, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep: The artist is a well known singer in Bangladesh. She was in fact the first singer to appear in the first program of the erstwhile Pakistan Television in 1964. She was (And probably still is) the host of a very popular Children's Musical program on Bangladesh Television. I believe the spelling variations of her name led to your not finding any google hits ... there have been multiple articles/media coverage on her work. For example:
  • Down memory lane - Ghazals of Feroza Begum and Ferdousi Rahman in Delhi, Daily Star, July 16, 2009. "The timeless works of two Bangladeshi nightingales -- Ferdousi Begum (now Rahman) and Feroza Begum -- were presented at “A Feast of Ghazals,” an evening dedicated to the singers of yesteryears in New Delhi.".
  • Ferdausi Rahman honoured, The Daily Star, July 19, 2009. "Veteran artiste Ferdausi Rahman was honoured at the Radisson Water Garden Hotel on July 17. As part of 'Gunijon Shongbordhona' programme, Ferdausi Rahman was greeted with a standing ovation at the event. Her melodious voice and popular songs have found a special place in the hearts of millions. A legion of A-list stars paid homage to Rahman with special performances and moving words on her contribution. The theme of this year's programme was "Aji jhoro jhoro mukhoro badolo diney.""
  • Social roles of celebrities, Daily Star, November 12, 2004. "Ferdousi Rahman, is a name known and loved by millions for her outstanding contribution to music. "
  • BTV revives 'Esho Gaan Shikhi', Daily Star, August 19, 2006. "It should be mentioned that the programme started in 1964 and quite a few prominent cultural personalities of today have participated in the show as students at some point. Ferdousi Rahman became known to the young audience throughout the nation as 'Khalamoni' (aunt), as she was called in the show."
  • National Film Award of Bangladesh, 1976, Best Music Director (film)
  • Ferdousi receives lifetime achievement award, Daily Star, 2008-05-23.
  • http://nation.ittefaq.com/issues/2009/12/20/news0165.htm Ferdousi Rahman, Nashid Kamal at Aamar ami, The New Nation, 20 December, 2009. "She is familiar as 'Khalamoni' in the country's musical arena. She is a moderator of BTV's one of the most popular programmes 'Esho Gaan Shikhi.' She is the only daughter of legendary artiste of the subcontinent late Abbasuddin. She is Ferdousi Rahman. When she was six years old she rendered song in a programme titled 'Khelaghar' in radio. She received President Award of Pakistan Pride of Performance in 1965 as the youngest singer. Therefore she also got national award as best music director. She has travelled in many countries. Although she got her primary learning on music from her father, later she got training from maestros in India. "
  • Already mentioned in the article, she is the winner of one of the highest civilian national awards of Bangladesh, the Ekushey Padak.

I'm sorry but I just can't see this as notable. This is a short film that has appeared at a specialized festival, and not had any general release. I was able to find one significant review in what looks to me like a reliable source, and nothing else that was non-trivial. The only other currently cited source is the IMDB. Does not seem to pass any of the criteria at WP:NOTFILM. DES (talk) 20:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I don't see this as meeting notability guidelines. One reviewer called the film a "B" movie. At first I thought I would find non-trivial coverage, but a search that includes "In the Closet" draws a number of false positives. Saw nothing more than brief reviews in passing, and they were few and far between. Also, the article does not assert any significance. The J. T.

I think it's insulting to accuse others of not looking for a way an adequate effort was made to improve this and snarky to chide the nominator with citing BEFORE, is unwarranted. as if suddenly No new information has come to light that makes the film notable. The nominator declined the speedy and brought it here for discussion. If he were reckless and in a hurry to delete, the opportunity was then. It does not take 3 days or one day to search for sources.

  • Comment In spite of the new sources, deos not seem to meet any of the criteria of WP:NOTFILM. Lets consider those criteria.
    • "The film is widely distributed and has received full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics." Obviously not fulfilled, none of the reviews known are from nationally known critics, nor can the CD be called "wide distribution", I think.
    • "The film is historically notable" All the sub criteria refer to recognition that occurs more than 5 years after release, which can't apply here.
    • "The film has received a major award for excellence..." I'm not sure if the Iris Award should cout as major, but in any case this film did not win, it was one of thirty nominees.
    • No evidence of a national archive or being the subject of a college-level course.
    • Which leaves the general criterion: "...has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." I see two fairly substantial reviews. One seems to be in a blog, and one in an online alternative news source. That is, IMO, at best marginal. If there were two more like the "This Week in Texas" review, i might think this notable. I also suspect that like individual songs, individual short films (12 minutes in this case) are rarely individually notable. DES (talk) 22:09, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      With respects DES, you're quoting "attributes to consider" as if they were mandated requirements. All WP:NF suggests is that if those attributes existed, editors might be diligent in a search for sources. And as you note, many of those attributes are totally inapplicable to a short independent film that was released only last October. As for the Iris Prize, it is indeed a pretty big deal and highly notable among the LGBT community of filmmakers. Guideline accpets that independent short films and more specially independent LGBT films do not get reviewed by "nationally known critics" in the same manner the major studio's, highly-touted and financed blocbusters do. Being notable to the LGBT community is notable enough for Wikipedia. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:17, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
@MichaelQSchmidt: In general, (in my experience here) the criteria of a notability guideline are treated as mostly mandatory if the subject doesn't fulfill the general notability guideline, that is if sources with significant discussion of the subject to establish it's notability haven't been found and presented. If sources to establish notability have been found, fine, that ends the question. If not then if one or more of the alternative criteria is fulfilled, then in general people will presume notability. If neither is true, then usually the subject will be considered non-notable unless there is a very special reason why not. It doesn't seem to me that the general criterion has been fulfilled, although that could be debated. There is some coverage, so what is sufficient is a judgment call. Therefore I went down the list of alternative criteria, to see if any of them were fulfilled either. None seems to be, IMO. I will grant that a prize or award notable within a particular community, such as the LTGB community, is enough for notability, we don't cover only mainstream Hollywood culture, and should not. But is being one of thirty nominees for the award enough to make this notable? In particular is "gayporntimes" a reliable source, or is it more of a self-published blog? if it is a blog we have exactly one review, the TWIT one, from a reliable source. You say "Guideline accepts that independent short films...do not get reviewed by 'nationally known critics'" Where does it discuss an alternate way of determining notability for short films. WP:NSONG says that individual songs are very rarely notable. Does/should a similar principle apply to short films? if not, why not? DES (talk) 00:09, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If you actually look at those, they are not reviews, the first one has only a single sentence about the film which, roughly translated reads: The young and popular porn performer Brent Corrigan, for example, protrays a disturbing emissary of evil forces in the short film "In The Closet" by Jody Wheeler, which was presented with a good success at the Iris Prize Festival 2009, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The second one has exactly the same sentence in the same paragraph. --Bejnar (talk) 03:01, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I don't see much speculation in this article. What I see is encyclopedic coverage of other people's speculation in primary sources. It would be better if the article's language emphasized that it is merely documentation of an existing body of work (rather than a representation of it), but that is easily fixable and hardly a deletion rationale. causa sui× 21:17, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment I agree that all the speculation is sourced (and sourced very well), the problem I see is that those speculations are combined using synthesis. -- Bfigura (talk) 21:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I think that's a fair objection, and the article could use some work, but I think deletion is throwing the baby out with the bathwater here. The article needs help, but it's an unusually good effort for a new contributor (on a worthy topic, mind you) who seems willing to respond to peer comments and criticism. We ought to be directing our efforts to helping him understand what is wrong with the article so it can be improved, especially since he seems to be so willing to accept direction from more experienced editors and then put in the effort himself. causa sui× 21:27, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that it's very well done, but I'm not sure the problem is really fixable. This is a very well done (and well referenced) essay. I'm not sure how to go about removing the synthesis while keep any decent chunk of material. However, userfying would at least ensure that this stays around in accessible place for fixing (or so that the references can be mined for other potential articles). -- Bfigura (talk) 23:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete impossibly indefensible synthesis and original research. each and every reference would have to specifically mention "nanotech age" or a close variant, which on cursory examination they dont. if the creator wants to try to choose some of the best refs and add them to existing articles, go ahead, esp. if some of them do refer to nanotech in a way not covered in the main article on this. ray kurzweils article doesnt even use this phrase at this time. perhaps a mention should go there first. as to whether there is a possible article here: maybe, but this content is almost completely useless. ok, if enough people are willing to do this, trim to a stub, then rebuild carefully.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relatively new journal, not indexed anywhere (except by the Library of congress, which indexes everything). Article creation premature, not notable yet. Does not meet WP:Notability (academic journals) or WP:N. Crusio (talk) 16:36, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment while it does exist, and that's usually my inclusion criteria for journals, this one seems to have more editors than papers published suggesting that it's not quite ready for primetime. Add to that that I could find only two people that included it on their CV. Google turns up nothing substantial. And it has not been cited in the literature. So I'd recommend deleting for now, but recreating if it ever becomes regularly cited. -Atmoz (talk) 18:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete basically per nom and Atmoz's research. I have to say, I have never seen a journal with so many editors. It makes you wonder a. what all these people do and b. if they ever get it done. Drmies (talk) 01:50, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is actually pretty normal for clinically-focused journals (see here, or here, or here, or here....(wow)). The vast majority of these are unpaid reviewers/referees. -- MarcoTolo (talk) 00:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  1. I disclose my conflict of interest with the journal, for I'm one of managing editors and an editor of the journal. I also would like to thank you for your consideration and valuble input on the journal.
  2. We are fully aware of the editor number problem, and are shrinking it down. I also submit you a piece of suggestion. Go read the articles, not just the editorial board member names. A hidden fact/concern is that there are too many Chinese? We are also working to diversity our editorial board. However, please do not judge an editorial board or a person just by his or her race ethnicity, if this comes to your mind.
  3. Please give careful consideration of your own qualification(s). Please do not easily following what the "nom" says. Sorry, I'm new and don't get what "nom" is. Educate me on this, if you will. This medical journal is primarily for clinical and translational research. If you merely have any medical training or qualification, please take caution while judging its value or impact. Because it does not fall in your expertise, and you might not be the right person to review. Do not get me wrong, however, you are of course entitled and welcome to express your thoughts and constructive suggestions, freely and independently. Our goal is to promote general public health at large.
  4. Let me just briefly introduce one of our recent articles: The breast cancer screening is under scrunity for recent research suggesting it does not find new "bad" tumors, rather "ok" or slow growing tumors. What does it mean for general practitioner, here comes our commentary: Early Detection and Prevention of Breast Cancer- A reflection of the USPSTF 2009 recommendation -- Jon Zhang (talk) Jon Zhang (talk) 14:54, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The "nom" is the "nomination" (the top four lines of this discussion) or the "nominator" (myself). If somebody votes "per nom", it means that this person agrees with the deletion rationale presented. As far as I can see nobody here has commented upon the diversity (or lack thereof) of the editorial board, just on the fact that most people that are on the board do not even bother to mention this in their CV. Nobody here either comments on the quality of the material published in your journal, as that is not the subject of this discussion. We try to establish whether the journal is "notable" in the sense that this is used in Wikipedia, which is independent of quality (indeed something of very low quality or a very bad person can be very notable just because of that). If your journal publishes good quality material, I am sure that in time it will get cited frequently, included in major databases, covered in independent reliable sources, in short, become notable. However, at this point this is not yet the case and WP is not a crystal ball. --Crusio (talk) 15:40, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on comment
  1. CV listing: Google propably was used to come to the conclusion that "most people that are on the board do not even bother to mention this in their CV". The fact is most of the board editors did not update online CVs, or simply do not publish their CVs online. List a couple with CV here: Calvin Pan and Lanjing Zhang.
  2. I do not agree to include a journal without looking into its article quality. One may at least rely on journal's reputation, which however is associated with its article impact and quality.
  3. It came to my impression that inclusion in indexing agencies, aka SCI and Scopus, is your sole resource/requirement of inclusion in WP academic journals. Pubmed and google scholar are excluded according to your guideline, WP:N. How to define the reliable resources, and who? It is exactly the reason why I object to your guideline, WP:N, for potential controversy, misuse and misleading info.
  4. Inclusion of NAJMS article in WP is a much smaller matter than the inclusion criteria/guideline itself. Again, I appreciate the time and efforts on initiating the project, of you and Headbomb. I have deep passion for the WP since my first contribution to it in 2005, and wish it become better and better. This is the WP community, at the end. Thanks! Jon Zhang (talk) 16:37, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clarification Yes, this is not an attack on the quality of the journal, it simply means that we think the journal has not been verified to be notable (in the Wikipedian sense). Young journals have an uphill battle here because they didn't have the time to become highly-cited, and are often not yet indexed by relevant databases. Most people are convinced that journals are notable when they are indexed by one or more selective databases, or are the official publications of large professional associations (or national ones), although there are other ways to show notability (usually that means the journal is controversial, or otherwise made the news). So basically, the creation of this article is premature. Assuming NAJMS become notable in the future, the article can be recreated. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 16:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Also, "we don't think that we have enough independent(!) sources to write an article about this journal" (the sole issue at hand here) is completely unrelated to whether the journal can be WP:CITEd as a reliable source in other articles. To give an example, we have plenty of independent sources complaining about the lack of peer review at Medical Hypotheses, so it gets an article, but most medicine-related editors would still prefer that papers from that journal not be cited in articles. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Echoing Crusio, a journal doesn't really exist to to the world if it isn't in PubMed. And independent review, as is provided by selective indexing, is needed to give strength the implied claim that it is a trustworthy journal, which is less clear from a glance at the articles as it is for, say, BMC Surgery. I've probably expressed myself more harshly than my opinion is, apologies for that. Narayanese (talk) 11:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GraphPad Software[edit]

GraphPad_Software (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - ([[{{subst:FULLPAGENAME}}|View AfD]])

I am nominating for deletion three articles: GraphPad Software, GraphPad Prism, and GraphPad InStat.

They are all mostly written by User:HarveyMotulsky, who is the CEO of that company. I do not believe this is a dishonest move, but there is still a important conflict of interest. It does seem like it is a nice program, but I'd be more comfortable if a third party were too add the entry. If we remove the entries that are not from that user, there is very little left, just barely enough to make a single stub article. Therefore I think the three articles should be deleted entirely. If another user has something to say about this, then, the article can be recreated. However, even if that were to happen, I am not sure it would pass the notability threshold.

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (the software articles) WP:COI says "Conflict of interest is not a reason to delete an article, though other problems with the article arising from a conflict of interest may be valid criteria for deletion." The originator has met the requirement for declaring an interest on his home page (but not on the articles' talk pages). I judge the contents to be simple descriptions, without overblown claims, and there are links to independent reviews of the software. In general the description is at a comparable level to other articles in Category:Statistical software. Melcombe (talk) 14:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep GraphPad Prism is pretty widely used in the scientific community, and seems to have enough reviews in legitimate pub (Ars Technica, etc). While there might not be a need for all the articles, a merge would work. Also, hand nominator a trout per Melcombe. Bfigura (talk) 19:01, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the above. Had I not seen here that the author has a conflict, I wouldn't have known. Everything looks good to me. No objection to a merge, if that's where consensus goes - but the articles are fine as-is. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wrote the articles in question, and indeed I am the CEO/founder of GraphPad Software. I never tried to hide this, and used my real name and stated my title. I'd be happy to answer any questions. GraphPad Prism is used by well over a hundred thousand scientists, which I think makes it notable. I think it makes slightly more sense to keep the three articles distinct, but can understand why some would prefer they be merged. HarveyMotulsky (talk) 14:06, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete switch to Redirect. Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN in that he has not served as an elected official >/= mayor. In reviewing the media coverage, I found only trivial mentions about his being a candidate for office. Often, papers will write a brief Bio or profile of a candidate. I have not found such. While it would not establish notability, it would be a good third party source. It's absence shows the subject has not yet reached even that level of notability. I believe that even winning the primary will not make him sufficiently notable. He must win an election to meet WP:POLITICIAN or receive non-trivial coverage to meet WP:BIO. I would also agree that there is the appearance of a self-promotion in light of the previous AfD, but I am unable to connect the creator with the subject. While the benefits of a Wikipedia article are obvious in this situation, I will assume the good faith of the creator.

            • That would be plenty of work to implement (but would effectively end in arguments about (WP:POLITICIAN) and would create thousands of underused and essentially blank pages. Redirects are also not necessarily for searching. And even if the intent is to aid searching, we run into concerns over it only being needed for a few months if he does not win. So thousands of pages could be created that will receive minimal traffic for a short period of time. We also have a search option and his name already gets a hit at the proposed target page. A redirect seems to be not needed here. That might be something to take up at WP:POLITICIAN instead of here though. I just checked it out more and there has been some recent heavy discussion over there. Right now it says t redirect so if that is the way it is then no problem. I think it is silly myself but my primary concern is removing this as an independent article.Cptnono (talk) 22:33, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable per WP:MUSICBIO. No reliable sources shown in any GHits other than the one BBC local interview cited, and the standard requires multiple non-trivial items. No charted songs. No awards.

  • I would urge that you leave this page on your site as although not hugely noteable, KingOfTrash is known within the industry and has a growing fanbase across the UK and Europe. It would seem unusual that an emerging artist has no representation on wikipedia, especially one that is connected to the Gay Rights movement in the music industry. Not only a performer, but songwriter, his work is selling well on i-tunes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.0.131.133 (talk) 11:22, 2 March 2010 (UTC) — 94.0.131.133 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Comment - the not notable comment was directed at the statement that the previous IP editor made, which said "not hugely noteable." To qualify for inclusion in Wikipedia, a musician must meet the standards of WP:MUSICBIO, but I don't believe that KingOfTrash meets that standard. In addition, there is a conflict of interest issue, and the article appears to be added for promotional reasons. (GregJackP (talk) 14:52, 2 March 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Western Imperium[edit]

Western Imperium (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD • AfD statistics)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is unencyclopedic, and frankly constitutes little more than asinine gibberish. There exists no genuine historical, academic, or intellectual current upon which to base this article. One of its authors cites the book Imperium: The Philosophy of History and Politics, by Francis Parker Yockey as apparently the principal intellectual underpinning of the idea ("Western Imperium") that this article purports to be about, but this seems to be based entirely on the fact that both the title of the article, and the name of that book, both contain the word "imperium." No page number is cited, and as one who has read Imperium, and is otherwise familiar with most of Yockey's work, I can assure you that it would be impossible to accurately cite a specific page or pages taken from that book to such an effect, as no such material is contained within its pages. Additionally, the author(s) cite Dreamer of the Day: Francis Parker Yockey and the Post-War Fascist International by Kevin Coogan as further evidentiary basis for the notion that this idea of a Western Imperium has some authentic tradition within the intellectual history of post-war National Socialist thought. Again, no page number is cited, and again, it couldn't be, as I can verify, having read that book as well.

I apologize for such a lengthy summary, but the reasons why this article ought to be deleted are somewhat esoteric, and may not be immediately evident to the average laymen. In the simplest terms, this article is nothing more than the school boy day dreams of Skinheads. Its existence is entirely reliant on the doubtlessly accurate supposition that most people haven't read Yockey's Imperium, or Coogan's biography of Yockey, and are thus unqualified to determine that this article is all made-up crap. But I can assure you, that is exactly what it is.

I can envision someone being reluctant to agree to delete this article, for fear they may be perceived as censoring an article that is of importance to a decidedly unpopular segment of society, but as a person within a related corner of that unpopular socio-political milieu, again, I can assure you that this article consists of little more than the science-fictional ramblings of ill-informed persons who have almost certainly not read the books being cited as source material, and who probably wouldn't understand them if they did. If the person(s) who cited such sources did read the books in question, then they would appear to be liars. Without any actual source material within the intellectual history of the political far-right upon which to base it, this entire article degenerates into merely some-crap-someone-made-up-over-at-Wikipedia. And that is precisely what it is, alas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KevinOKeeffe (talk • contribs)

That I don't get. Why would we want either? Anything good enough for a category is good enough for a list, and vice-versa.

A fair point. In looking at several disease articles, I note that none of them are placed in Category:Causes of symptomX (with the exception of Category:Causes of death). So I suppose there is little precedence for such categories. PDCook (talk) 19:06, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete while its true that fever is a notable symptom of many diseases, its NOT true that fever needs having a list like this, as so many diseases and conditions bring on elevated temperature. its probably more notable to list infectious diseases that DONT cause fever. this doesnt seem to serve much of a purpose, certainly not for someone trying to research the origins of fever. maybe a short list of illnesses that often produce fatal fevers? basically, per colinMercurywoodrose (talk) 03:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fever is a non-specific symptom, which I don't think is best addressed by a laundry list of the 1,000+ diseases that might be associated with it. Additionally -- in the list of surmountable, but still irritating, problems that indicate the unmanageability of the list -- the definition of fever this page gives is wrong, and some of the listed causes don't actually produce fevers (they produce non-fever hyperthermias). WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:43, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The current definition is my doing. I starting rewriting the intro based on the definition in the fever article, but then realized the list article was a bit of a hopeless case. So perhaps the definition in the fever article also needs to be changed. PDCook (talk) 20:48, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As of the last time I checked (weeks ago), the definition at fever was correct. An elevated body temperature is only a fever if that elevation is caused through a particular mechanism. Identically elevated temperatures through all other mechanisms are hyperthermias, not fevers. It is not merely a matter of the number on the thermometer.

  • No, not "powergaming", just "Monty Haul" from my cursory once-over. In the 2nd edition days, I remember the term "Min-maxing". It's really all the same thing, or all part of the same thing; your stats/benefits/rewards are more important than even the fun of the game itself! BOZ (talk) 23:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, that's why I suggested the merger; min-maxing is just powergaming applied to character creation and monty haul is powergaming at the campaign/setting level.--Father Goose (talk) 05:46, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There is definitely a notable article here.

  • Snow Keep - Notable enough to inspire satire here. Wizards of the Coast write an editorial in their regular column on the topic here. Dice of Doom (a blog with editorial oversight) runs a six part series on it starting here. Always Strike First (which appears to have editors although it's not clear) discusses it in a wargaming context here. Glenn Blacow's early approach to player typing from 1980 lists "powergamers" as one of his four basic player types (link here) and Bestheda developer Ken Rolston uses it casually in an IGN interview here in a way that shows he expects any reader to know what it means. The term's prevalent enough to have become a term IT companies use to describe a high-end gaming rig and it's been appropriated as the name of a prominent pro-gaming team.

        • I must admit, I am quite offended by being accused of adding faked references. The one you cite here was NOT a fake reference, though there may have been a more pertinent reference I could have used. It was used as an example of how the concept is now being applied in other fields apart from gaming. I understand that you are just trying to make Wiki better, but would suggest you read WP:Bite and WP:GOODWILL before suggesting fellow editors make up sources in future. ManicSpider (talk) 10:05, 3 March 2010 (UTC) (Sorry, I meant WP:GOODFAITH)ManicSpider (talk) 10:07, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
          • ManicSpider, I think the issue is not that the sources are nonexistent. It's that they touch on subjects only vaguely related to the topic. The sources you added do not mention the phrase "power-gaming", at least not on the pages you lined to, and do not back up the paragraph in the article to which they are attached. Do you see the problem with this? In a borderline AfD, adding spurious sources could give the article the false appearance of being properly sourced, and result in a "keep" result when it really shouldn't. Not to mention, it is misleading to our readers. I do not doubt that you have acted in good faith, but certain members of the Article Rescue Squadron have been known to concoct phony sources on purpose to game the system and subvert the AfD process. This, of course, reflects badly on the entire ARS and explains why, as Pcap notes, the ARS has developed a reputation for dodgy behaviour. A shame, because there are quite a few ARS members who do good work and edit in good faith. Perhaps those editors ought to pull the problematic ones into line, but that's probably a subject for a different discussion. Reyk YO! 00:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
            • Hi Reyk, all the sources do mention the term, which is how I found them using a google search. I haven't been editing for that long, so perhaps I have made an error, but all the sources I cited were examples of how the concept of power gaming is used, which is what the article was referring to. I apologise if I've made an error and the sources were not substantial enough, but they definitely all did mention the phrase and they definitely were all put up in good faith. That is why I was so distressed by the allegations above. ManicSpider (talk) 05:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Click on the Google news and Google Book search links at the top of the AFD. I see plenty of places this is used. The term has been around since the early days of Ultima Online.

  • Delete - we have several AfD's for articles about individual songs by Fresno and they're pretty much all the same. A basic mention of the fact that the song was released as a single, a video was produced, and the video has supposedly become popular on YouTube. *Fr@nkl!nG* is claiming in all cases that the articles should be kept as relevant for the band's history, but there are the same issues with WP:NSONGS in all cases. Tidbits of historical trivia can be added to the article for the parent album (in this case, Ciano (album)).

Unsourced, full of issues. If this topic is worthy of an article at all, it will have to be written from the ground up anyway, so this might as well be deleted. A cursory Google glance and a look at the single external link makes me think that it's a worthless neologism. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:14, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - This article is painfully bad, and it's understandable why someone would want to shoot it in back of the barn to put it out of its misery. However, current condition is not a criterion for deletion. A Google book search suggests that finding some sources won't be terribly difficult (although actually rewriting the article may well be). The five seconds I spent on that search simply reinforce what was found at the last AfD, which is that the article has potential and should not be deleted.--~TPW 05:24, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The essay that you link to, WP:DEADLINE, cuts both ways. We are not on a deadline to include articles in Wikipedia, either, and those which violate policy (and continue to do so after 5-7 days) can and should be deleted. JBsupreme (talk) 14:11, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I've linked to an additional essay in my original comments that is more relevant.

  • Delete (conditional) Revert to stub - As TPW says, there appear to be good sources available for this article. That same fact was noted in the first AfD and led to that 'keep' decision. In the intervening 22 months not one reference was added. I have left warnings on the talk page and tagged the H out of the article. It's likely that those working on this article have "other things" on their minds besides the status of this article and we should give up on its improvement. If no one responds to this AfD with some proper refs in the next few days, I vote we Delete cut it off just above the ground. Jojalozzo 06:05, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep I'm concerned about the issues raised by Joja above, but the topic is notable, and I don't know that the article needs to be rewritten wholesale so much as it is in desperate need of sourcing. It's not an out and out disaster, it's just disastrously unsourced :). I'll say this: hesitated a bit before going the weak keep route. I just generally dislike deleting articles on notable topics just because the article itself is flawed. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 06:18, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You may find some opposition from editors who feel that a stub will be more prone to deletion if the present lack of improvement continues, but I would think that pointing to the previous AfD should be sufficient to demonstrate the article's potential. --~TPW 17:11, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure there is. A dicdef means there is little to say beyond typical dictionary information - (definitions, origins, history of usage, examples of usage). In this case we have enough to cover an entire philosophy section covering views on the use of substances for exploration of the psyche, a history section of this kind of usage from religion through into contemporary culture, and across a range of specific cultures from Tibet to Shamanism to the hippie era (which is different from the history of the word), the actual and discussed use of the topic as a route in therapy (main article: Psychedelic therapy), psychological aspects of such usage, current views from various fields such as therapy through to drug abuse analysis, descriptions of the subjective experience it labels (as discussed in scholarly writings), and a list of some notable individuals such as Aldous Huxley who are widely considered to have used substances for exploration of their psyche according to authoritative reliable sources.

It's a ton of links to file sharing sites, streaming music sites, etc. News search turns up nothing. I'm not surprised that Googling the Portugese for "the chance of error" turns up 66,000 results, hehe.

Poor tone, no sources, tagged for issues for 13 months. Only hits I could find were trivial. He was indeed nominated for a Grammy, but according to the lone source the nomination was split among seven people and he didn't win. Writing songs for others doesn't make you inherently notable if nobody ever says anything more than "Kevin Kadish cowrote song X." There are a couple incoming links for songs he's written, but again, notability isn't inherited. Article created by subject as well, so WP:COI is in full effect.

  • Delete. WP:MUSICBIO says that being nominated for an award makes a person notable, but as I interpret that, that's for the artist. Here, Kadish was just a writer on two songs on Mr. A–Z.

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 00:27, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as this list has no verifiable definition in accordance with WP:Source list, without which it is just a collection of loosely assoicated of topics without any externally validated rationale for inclusion in Wikipedia. A verifable definition is also needed to demonstrate that it is not the product of original research. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 11:18, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Hi Gavin.collins. WP:Source list doesn't make any reference to a "verifiable definition", although it does specifically say that "difficult or contentious subjects for which the definition of the topic itself is disputed should be discussed on the talk page" (ie solved through discussion, not AfD) but in any case verifiability only applies to contentious or challenged content. Despite all of the above, the list starts with the words, "This is a chronological list of officially released songs by Brazilian Folk singer, songwriter and musician Mallu Magalhães," which clearly defines the scope and organisation of the list. If there's dispute about whether any particular song falls under that heading it can be resolved through normal editing, not via AfD. - DustFormsWords (talk) 22:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Every list has a definition, even if it is only the title. For a list to demonstrate it is not original research, it must provide a verifiable definition of what it is about, even if that definition is as broad or as vague as the title itself. In the context of songs by Mallu Magalhães, who has defined what is or is not a "officially released song"? If a reliable source can be found can provide an answer, then perhaps this list has a rationale for inclusion in Wikipedia, and can be saved from deletion. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 23:16, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Per WP:Source list, ambiguities in the scope of the list are to be discussed on the article's talk page, not solved through deletion. I wouldn't think there's much difficulty in determining what is and is not an "officially released song" but in as much as there's a difficulty it's something that can be solved by a better phrasing of the definition - it's not fundamentally unfixable. A list of songs by a notable singer is a worthwhile list, and if you argue that either the singer isn't notable or the songs don't belong on the list that's not an argument to have through the forum of an AfD. I feel you're confusing "things in this article that need improvement" with "reasons to delete this article", which aren't the same thing. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think you will find that policy is quite clear that whether content comes in the form of a list article or standalone article, it needs to be verifiable by an external source. Wikipedia policy places a buden on every editor to provide details of where they have got their informtation from, and this applies to list articles as well as standalone articles. There is also a requirement to provide evidence that a list is not original research, by citing reliable sources that are directly related to the list. As stated earlier, every list has a definition, even if it is only the title. For a list to demonstrate it is not original research, it must provide a verifiable definition of what it is about, even if that definition is as broad or as vague as the title itself. --Gavin Collins (talk|contribs) 23:51, 24 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - That's not what WP:V says at all; content only requires sources where it's contentious or likely to be challenged. Further, the fact that an article contains unverifiable information isn't a reason to delete an article under any policy (except where the lack of such sources makes it fail WP:N) - it's a reason to work on fixing the article. I've I think said all I can say on this here and at your talk page - and I have to say that other than as a matter of principle it's hard to care a lot about whether this particular list actually survives or not - so thank you for your politeness and your reference to policy and I look forward to working with you on other articles! - DustFormsWords (talk) 00:05, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep No compelling arguements for deletion, despite the continual relisting to try and force one. Lugnuts (talk) 10:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I rather take exception to Lugnuts' remark there. The "continual relisting to try and force one" is an overly-cynical, and unfair, characterisation of Wikipedia's administrators.

    Having said that, DustFormsWords' remark (above) seems to conclude the matter and I am not sure myself why it would be relisted twice. DFW quite correctly points out that the individual elements of a list need not be notable, and that the list subject itself need not be notable provided that it serves a navigational function that's helpful to end-users (rather than being a promotional or marketing-type list).

    I don't agree with Gavin Collins at all. It's not usually hard to tell whether a song's "officially released", and to claim we need an exact definition for that is simply pettifogging. There may be cases where there's a legitimate dispute around one particular track, but that needs to be solved by interested editors on the list's talk page, rather than by unilateral deletion.

    All in all I think this discussion is over, all the necessary points have been made, and I would like to invite some passing admin to close it accordingly.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 11:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this person. Joe Chill (talk) 01:24, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no significant GHits, no GNews/Books/Scholar hits, and most tellingly for a model, no GImage hits. (GregJackP (talk) 01:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC))[reply]
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 16:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as not meeting Wikipedia criteria for notability. While I can accept that the person has been in television commercials and some music videos, and that she was interviewd in the non-RS Rap Models.net, she need coverage that meets notability guidelines.

The result was No consensus to delete, or rather (more accurately) no interest in deleting it. Apart from the nomination this has attracted only one comment, which seems to oppose deletion, and the nominator has not returned to address this comment. I might perhaps have re-listed this, but I do not see that a second relisting would attract any further attention.

A "no consensus" outcome does not prevent this article from being nominated for deletion in future. However, I would encourage anyone considering that step to communicate with User:Jt sass and actually answer his/her question below, in a helpful way, before renominating. We need to encourage new editors, not put them off with bureaucracy. NAC by —S Marshall Talk/Cont 11:23, 9 March 2010 (UTC). [reply]

This article does not assert notability. It is unreferenced. It seems to exist as a way to host this story, which may be total fiction. There is also a link to another page that, upon opening, has a completely fictional story on top. Hamtechperson 00:12, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

User:Malleus Fatuorum thinks this is a "self-aggrandizing fluff piece". I don't think it's self-aggrandizing but I will concede that it may be fluff. Also, although I think a speedy deletion is excessive, I don't think an AfD is TerraFrost (talk) 18:24, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This isn't a game of Stick-it-to-Malleus. You're the only significant editor to that article. If you think it should be deleted, say so and (as the only other editor) I'll delete it as G8 (or whatever the number is). If you don't, then don't nominate it for deletion. --Floquenbeam (talk) 18:31, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really care if it's deleted or not and I have no objection to having its fate decided by consensus (which is what should have happened in the first place) TerraFrost (talk) 18:40, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Close in the absence of a policy-based reason to delete. AFD is not for making a point; if you want the article deleted, please offer a reason why - it's non-notable, it's a violation of BLP, or something. Others have edited it, so your request as the author is not sufficient. If Floquenbeam concurs, though, I don't object to a G6 Housekeeping deletion - but we need a request for that from you. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:37, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I intended it as a way to get consensus - to see what others think. I don't see that as being excessively pointy, either - just as a way of soliciting opinion. Per WP:OWN, this article isn't mine to do with as I please and I don't think it appropriate that I - as the principal author of it - be the one to decide it's fate.
