  • Delete WAY to early for this. The only other one in United States Senate elections, 2014 that has an 'article' is Massachusetts, but that only redirects back to the main page.

  • Weak Delete It's going to happen eventually so it's not as much a crystal ball issue, but unless there's content specifically mentioned towards this election, I think future elections should be limited to the "next" election, which is either 2010, or 2012 if you consider 2010 as "now" since it's so close.

  • Strong keep, this seat being on a six-year cycle defeats all crystal-ball arguments. Two candidates having announced and one of them dying is sufficient starter text.

Sources are all primary or interviews. Won a Web Cartoonist's Choice award, but precedent is that the award is not enough to confer notability (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures). Last AFD in 2007 closed as delete, but comic was less than a year old at the time. In the three years since, I see almost no further notability than was present in 2007. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 23:07, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This AfD was originally speedy closed, based on the AfD from three years ago. I have discussed this with the closing admin, and received his permission to undelete the article and re-start the AfD. My rationale is this: Though this article was tagged as Delete back in 2007, it seems to have been substantially improved since then. It has doubled in size, and received attention from numerous editors. Awards have been added, and on searching for sources, it would appear that the topic has been covered in third-party international press. Further, it is not strictly a WP:WEB matter anymore, since the webcomic being discussed has now been published in hardcopy as well, and is being carried internationally. Considering these factors, I believe a second AfD discussion is appropriate, to see whether or not the article now meets Wikipedia guidelines. --Elonka 16:14, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I would say that the Escapist and .Net magazine refs are enough alone to push it over the edge of notability. Nice improvements to the article (though the characters section might need to be trimmed a bit...) SilverserenC 18:09, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Winning multiple WCA awards in two years and articles in two notables magazines are enough to establish the notability of this webcomic. --Novil Ariandis (talk) 18:52, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep maybe not a major webcomic, but definately notable. Very talented artist, very detailed artwork.VikÞor | Talk 19:47, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The comic had been linked from several other articles, and all those links got removed when it was SpeedyDeleted yesterday. Anyone who uses the number of other articles that link to it as one of their criteria for notability should take this into account, and if the result of this AfD is Keep, those should be reverted (maybe they should anyway while this AfD is in progress). --mwalimu59 (talk) 21:06, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination. The article was recently blanked by its original creator, who replaced it with the following text:

While I do realize that this does not really constitute a valid deletion rationale under Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines, and that policies like WP:OWN pertain here, I'm submitting a procedural nomination through Wikipedia's proper deletion process strictly as a gesture of good faith after reverting and editprotecting the article back to its prior state. No vote from me, although I will note that both the conflict of interest issue and the article's lack of reliable sources suggest that there may be a more policy-based reason to consider deletion anyway. Bearcat (talk) 21:58, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I suppose, since it's under full protection, you don't want anyone to add to it? I was going to add references and such to show notability, but that's kinda difficult under full protection. SilverserenC 22:22, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
My main concern was keeping the original user from blanking the article again. But I've now taken off the page protection and switched it to "revisions require review" instead — if that still poses a problem, then let me know and I'll figure something else out. Bearcat (talk) 22:27, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
As long as I can edit it, that's all I need. Thanks. SilverserenC 22:33, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind, I actually can't find anything. It's quite clear that he's an important Serbia war hero, but nothing I found that said that was a reliable source. He seems to be one of those people that the academic writers and historians let slip through the cracks. SilverserenC 22:58, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Not if the original author is not the sole contributor to the article, no. Bearcat (talk) 05:17, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, there are IP edits that follow the original creation, and there exists no means to tie those edits to the original author. We can disregard tags and maintenance edits - otherwise just tagging the article G7 on someone's behalf would mean it couldn't be deleted G7.

  • Leaning toward Keep Bowing to him sets a bad precedent especially when our little disclaimer below the save page button says"If you do not want your writing to be edited, used, and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here. All text that you did not write yourself, except brief excerpts, must be available under terms consistent with Wikipedia's Terms of Use before you submit it." Sadads (talk) 19:23, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The reason for deletion is not useful, as the author of the article is free enough to post his e-mail on his own user page, display himself as the original author of that article, or otherwise allow contact through the "email this user" function. He can even state his secondary objectives on the article discussion page, and state that contacting him is a better venue rather than using the article discussion page as the forum for tracking survivors. In addition, authorship is shown through page history, making claims of exact ownership a moot point. --Sigma 7 (talk) 22:57, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge or redirect or rename: I don't think the individual meets WP:MILPEOPLE, but the incident seems to be notable. I've asked for some help at WT:OMT in converting this into an article about the battle or the ship... I would prefer to see this renamed to Yugoslav monitor Drava. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 13:00, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Invasion of Yugoslavia#Naval Operations, where I have named the subject as commander of the Monitor Drava (with a source, of course). I can find no evidence that the article subject himself is notable, and it looks to me as if the "keep" opinions above are calls to punish the article creator for misunderstanding what Wikipedia is for rather than considered judgements of the subject's notability. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:10, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Captain of a warship is notable. No need to merge or rename. Additionally, I think we should as a matter of policy ignore all requests for deletion based on the failure to have ownership of a p. It's the exact reciprocal of not allowing articles from banned editors. DGG ( talk ) 03:23, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In fact the article isn't about the mine at all, it is about the owner - and it's full of unsourceable blather like "Dr.Gowda has sadly attracted a lot of jealous competitors also along the way who don’t like his success at a relatively young age & are always looking for a way to spoil his credentials.But he has taken such things in his stride & never let such cheap gimmicks affect him in any way.He has always come out clean no matter how much his rivals/detractors have tried to trouble him." --MelanieN (talk) 03:35, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I was tempted to tag this for speedy deletion as lacking context, because the article seems to just string together various bits of pseudo-technical management bollocks-speak without actually enlightening us as to what the subject actually is.

To Islam they were and are the worst of creatures. In the Muslim culture they are animals, “apes and swine.” Christian women cannot ride public transport without risking insults from adult Muslim males, who call them “whores” [3]

No indication that this individual meets the notability requirements. Just looks like a run-of-the-mill murderer. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 19:05, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Run-of-the-mill is meant to preclude streets, restaurants, shopping malls... etc. It states that "run-of-the-mill is a common, everyday, ordinary item that does not stand out from all the rest". A nurse who runs a care home and breaks her duty of care by stealing patients' medicine, leading to deaths and a huge murder inquiry is not exactly run-of-the-mill. The extensive media coverage shows this. Malick78 (talk) 23:23, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep She's clearly notable as 2,800 articles on the internet show. Her crimes do not have to be "ingenious" as Bejnar assumes, just - as notability criteria for criminals says - the "motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime [should be] unusual or has otherwise been considered noteworthy such that it is a well-documented historic event". The amount of media coverage shows it to be well-documented and noteworthy, and her reasons (a drug habit - strange for a nurse) seem to be unusual. This is not an ordinary criminal (e.g. a mugger) for whom the guidelines were probably written. Malick78 (talk) 22:07, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So show us the statistics please. As it is, newspapers have covered Baker's case because they deem it unusual.

To elaborate further, this appears to have been a newsworthy story at the time, but nothing seems to indicate encyclopedic notability of this person or this crime, per se; the historic significance per WP:PERP does not seem to be met. Without getting on a soapbox, this type of nursing home abuse and/or drug abuse by a healthcare professional happens quite often, unfortunately; hence the unusual aspect of WP:PERP does not seem to be met either.

This is an essay consisting of WP:Original research and WP:Synthesis. Although there are many references, many of these are to works of art or Biblical verses, hallmarks of WP:OR. There are no references for the primary claims (e.g. that "the gender of the Holy Spirit has been the object of some discussion in recent years"). Pburka (talk) 15:32, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Incubate this one for a few weeks. I just took the unsourced stub that was nominated,[8] and went through it with some cleanup and expansion.[9] In researching, I was able to verify that it has so far hit Dances With Films festival and Visionfest... and at Visionfest it received three different awards. Oh... it does not quite hit WP:NF (yet), even with the multiple awards, but it is a fairly safe bet to take it out of mainspace and place it in the incubator for a short stay. WHile cooking, let it hit more festivals (or get theatrical or TV release) and then get its award-winning team some decent coverage. If this does not happen... the article will get deleted. If it does happen, the article will be back with a grin. Incubation can be a win-win for the project. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:58, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Normally I'd tag something like this for speedy deletion as spam, except that there's a non-promotional revision to revert to. Contested prod. Conference with no indication of notability. Primary sources only. None of the concerns were addressed by the deprodder. Delete.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 03:44, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Notability: as mention in the article, the conference is notable mainly to european game developers. Sources: there are many published articles about the conference, but unfortunately, as the native language of none of the countries participating is english, nor are these sources. Here's a few of them translated by google translator: [10], [11]. Promotion: to quickly expand the article, the last three paragpaphs were copied from the organizers web page - thus the text might be promotional. This can be easily repaired by editing. For the reasons explained above, I suggest that the article should NOT be deleted. Niky cz (talk) 04:32, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: Because the last three paragpaphs were copied from the organizers web page, I have deleted them as a copyright violation. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 14:21, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It was no copyright violation, as the original publisher agreed to republishing. Niky cz (talk) 00:04, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, the sources you provided are primary, that is, they are affiliated with participants in the conference. Notability is not shown by 2K Czech's participation. It would be shown by evidence that 2K Czech's participation generated coverage by either media or academia that are affiliated with neither the organizers nor the participants. Like something in a major gaming magazine or webzine, excluding press releases. It doesn't have to be in English, but you do need to show that this kind of coverage exists. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 15:01, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Gamespy referemce merely states that Game Developers Session was the venue where Klima first said what is stated in this article. It is not about the conference. Therefore it qualifies as trivial. As for the Gamasutra reference, the page is a collection of press releases from various sources. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 05:10, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Given that the GameSpy article is about a presentation that was held at the conference, I would not call it trivial coverage. And, the second article's content was written by the author at Gamasutra, so no they're not press releases. SharkD  Talk  05:58, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Announcement at GameDev.net[14]
  • One of many GDS presentations recorded on YouTube with 10000+ views[15]
  • and here is an article in a major czech gaming magazine LeveL [16] (czech language)
Niky cz (talk) 09:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Forums are not reliable sources, since anyone can post in them. They certainly don't establish the notability of anything. The same thing goes for sites such as Youtube, and the number of views is quite simply not looked into here. What we're looking for is more stuff like what you found in LeveL. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 18:48, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is so much coverage in czech and other european languages that thare is just no need to post them here - just use a search engine. Here are the resulsts of searching the name of the conference on Seznam.cz (most commonly used czech search engine)[17]. I went quickly over the first 50 search resulst and EVERY single one of them is an article about this conference. Also, there is some coverage on czech public television. Niky cz (talk) 01:47, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The discussions was a bit hard to follow due to formatting glitches. I tried to refactor it a little so that it's more readable. Also, it would be helpful if you could mention the German and Czech translations of the conference's name, if they exist, so that we could search under those alternate headings. SharkD  Talk  04:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The czech subtitle of the conference is "Setkání nezávislých herních vývojářů" (meaning Meeting of independent game developers), but the title Game Developers Session (or simply GDS) is more commonly used in both Czech and Slovak countries. Not sure about the German translation as I dont speek german. Niky cz (talk) 04:19, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • WP:BEFORE is advice about how to apply deletion policy, which says that "articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed" can be deleted, not articles that don't currently have such sources. A valid argument for deletion should detail the thorough attempts that have been made to find such sources. And the requirement to consider alternatives to deletion, such as merging, is also policy.

Delete fails WP:BAND. Lack of notability established through significant coverage through reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Indie Swedish rock band that released a couple of albums on local independent labels. Did not chart; no hits. No references provided outside of social networking sites (FB and MS). Ran a search for references and was not able to find any that were not self-published or independent of the subject. Also nominating two albums, Cut City (EP) and Exit Decades, due to lack of notability. Did not chart; no hits. (No idea why this is categorized as Games and Sports. Twinkle is being weird.) Cindamuse (talk) 09:35, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as Cut City fails notability criteria for bands and the other two fail notability criteria for albums. Armbrust Talk Contribs 20:24, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • DONT DELETE as Cut City is a current swedish rock band, just because there albums havent charted doesnt mean they dont need a wikipedia page, whats the point of wikipedia if you can't add to it with established signed acts. I have found references from the Deleted Art label which are not self published and are from the label itself. further more, Cut City are mentioned on the page for Interpol's third album, which does show that Cut City are being mentioned at a reputable source.—Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterJ89 (talk • contribs)
  • See: WP:MERCY and just because this band exists, it does not mean they should have an article on Wikipedia. if they can pass Wikipedias notability criteria for inclusion. This is not reliable and the other two are not independet from the band. Armbrust Talk Contribs 00:21, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above; this band fails our WP:BAND criteria—Chris!c/t 21:31, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • DO NOT DELETE. What's the point of the wiki, if not providing information? Why should you delete this entry, just because it doesn't match your criteria, maybe you should rewrite your BAND criteria. Without this wikipedia article, people's knowledge of this band would be even smaller, this being an independient band. I got to know this great band just because it was listed under "Swedish rock bands" or a similar article.

  • Delete Almost all the sources cited are blogs (including Steinke's own blog), facebook pages, publishers' websites, and sites selling Steinke's work. There is no evidence of significant independent coverage. The only attempt at producing a serious argument for keeping is from Brodo (the author of the article), but that argument really amounts only to assuring us that Steinke's work has been published, and says nothing to indicate the existence of independent notice of him or his work.

  • Delete - it's close, but there's only one proper source, which means it fails WP:GNG and WP:ORG Primary criteria: A single independent source is almost never sufficient for demonstrating the notability of an organization.

  • Delete. I'm not seeing a credible assertion of importance here. If this person is revered as a saint by his followers, where are said followers? And where is the significant secondary coverage of said followers? I can find two hits in Google News Archives. One is a 2009 Times of India article and implies that someone of this name is a god[25]. The other is part of the LA Times pay archives [26] that I can't access, but the abstract indicates it's probably not the same person. I'm reluctant to delete a god as non-notable, but I can't see any other way around it. — Chromancer talk/cont 19:59, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Thakur Abhiram Paramahansa Dev was a saint by his followers and their followers believe him as a God. He has more than 5 lakhs followers and devotees in Orissa (Odisha) and outside Orissa. But in Orissa, too much or their followers/devotees are not exposed to internet. So, there are less significant secondary coverage of said followers. But, I have given you more than 9 links of reference in this discussion. Again I am giving you 7 links, which is google books and contains the name of Abhiram Paramahansa Dev.

  • Comment: Whatever the other merits of this article, the content is unusable as it is a derivative of [27] (see the talk page for some specific examples). This version of the article will need to be replaced, if the decision at AfD is to retain the article. I'm afraid that I've had to blank it per our policies to avoid our continuing to infringe on a source that has not verified permission. The prior contents are still viewable here. Continuing the AfD would be beneficial in spite of the copyright problems, as copyright problems can be easily addressed by rewriting an article, but problems iwht notability cannot be. I am not participating in this AfD as I am an uninvolved administrator who will be likely handling the copyright problem closure, but I don't think it's involved to point out that some of the book sources listed above are unusable. This and this are books by Icon Group International, which are mirrors of online resources, including Wikipedia itself. This one is a book dedication. The first batch of online source above is similarly problematic, as many of them are self-published sources and this, for example, does not speak to notability even remotely. This doesn't mean he isn't notable, but proper sourcing needs to verify that. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:39, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable race, despite its role in possibly qualifying for the Dutch national rowing team--that's only selection. If you look up "Hel van het Noorden" you find, of course, lots of hits--and they're all for Paris–Roubaix. I propose this be deleted, and the name given to a redirect for that race.

  • Keep -- Notability demonstrated in various secondary sources. A 'Hel van het Noorden' google search in combination with any rowing related term does generates lots of hits. That another ,more popular, event with the same name is on the first page doesn't disqualify the rowing race as a notable race. I added a source for the 'selection criteria' claim and some references in regional and national news media. NeB27 (talk) 23:55, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I saw you added links to articles on the KNRB website and on some rowing news site. Those hardly count as independent sources that help confer notability on the topic. So notability is not established. Sorry. Drmies (talk) 03:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. The majority of editors (9 vs. 3) recommended to keep the article or the information therein in some form. There were many claims of notability based on the in-universe significance of the character, and several (new) sources are present. However per Shooterwalker, these sources may not sufficiently satisfy wikipedia policies and guidelines upon a more thorough inspection. Interested editors should continue looking for more appropriate sources to prevent a renomination at a later time. – sgeureka t•c 08:52, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tried looking through Google (perhaps some will have better luck than me) but I couldn't find any independent coverage of this library in reliable third party sources. It doesn't seem any more notable than, say, Public Library of Oklahoma City or Public Library of Orleans. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 04:44, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep This is bordering on disruption, TeleCom. See also WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Pichilemu topics have as much right as largest cities such the ones you mentioned to have an article on Wikipedia. You just don't seem to have cared about looking for references. At a first glance, I found a University of Chile article: [31]: Quote: "la Biblioteca Pública de Pichilemu, sino también a las instalaciones ofrecidas por el Centro Cultural Agustín Ross." The document talks specifically about the organization. [32] from Gaceta Regional. "El Centro Cultural Agustín Ross cuenta con una biblioteca pública," It is mentioned on a book named Mensaje Presidencial, apparently containing the message when it was first inaugurated on Santa María street. Anyway, I hope you do a research next time, and not just bounce and saying Pichilemu can't have articles because it's not as largest as Oklahoma. It's an idiocy, Chile has not the population of United States, so cities have to be smaller. --Diego Grez (talk) 14:42, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not talking about the town Pichilemu; I'm talking about articles about every little detail of it. That's giving UNDUE weight. We can have a general overview of the town in the article Pichilemu; we just don't need several articles branching off the town to cover every little place and detail that might or might not exist within it. And accusations of disruption are pretty serious; what do you mean by "bordering on disruption" anyway? The last AfD that I remember I had was here. :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 15:48, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • What don't you understand? If I have created articles for these organizations in Pichilemu is because they are notable enough to be in this encyclopedia. I was not talking about the city itself, but articles on the topic have reliable references, and have the chance to be expanded and well-referenced as notable organizations, just like an article about the Public Library of Oklahoma would exist.

  • Strong keep per Diego. I agree with Diego. City libraries are notable and Chile is no exception. Try googling in Spanish maybe?

As to the PA, yes and I don't mind saying to any non-native speaker of English, however fluent they may be, the word fuck has many meanings and its popularity in American cinema can be misleading: If the use of this word is botched, which it often is by non-native speakers, the outcome of meaning and misunderstanding is dreadful: Anytime it's put wrong as to context or syntax, never mind what the speaker meant, it's likely to be taken more or less as "I want you dead." The easiest way to skirt these worries is not to use the word at all outside the bounds of friendship or entertainment. Gwen Gale (talk) 11:12, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I googled in Spanish and it turned up the same results, thank you very much. You assert that city libraries are notable; I have to ask, how are they notable? We don't have an article for every single city library that exists on the planet; it must follow a certain set of notability requirements, which you have not addressed. And why are we bickering over the definition of the word "fuck" anyway? :| TelCoNaSpVe :| 19:51, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral comment While I don't think it's much of a worry if an article about any library open to the public stays on en.WP, I don't see how a small library in a town of 12,000 people would meet WP:N unless there was something notable, through wider independent coverage, about its architecture, history or collections. Why not put this content in Pichilemu? Given the size of the town and lack of notability, readers are much more likely to see it there than in this article.

Solvay Public Library has an article, national registered place or not. Pichilemu is twice the size of Solvay. New York. Dr. Blofeld 17:47, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If Solvay Public Library is not a national registered place, then I will support deletion. But being national registered place is notable. So, Solvay Public Library should have an article. This can't be argued for the Public Library of Pichilemu.—Chris!c/t 19:34, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
See? Exactly that is bias. "being [U.S] national registered place is notable". Cool. Diego Grez (talk) 19:56, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's not what Chris means. Regardless of US, registered buildings are like listed buildings in the UK. They have some historical or architectural signifiance to the national heritahe which makes them notable. I'm sure Chile has a similar national listing of historic buildings. If they do then I'm sure there would be agreement that they are notable. But town libraries regardless of historical registers are notable buildings in my view. That doesn't hide the fact that this article does need expansion and more sources but I as Gwen said think there are far worse encyclopedia topics to be worrying about. This could easily be merged unless there is an abundance of material to write about it. Dr. Blofeld 20:03, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am not even going to address Diego's comment. He apparently thinks that calling me fucking blind and accusing me biased is going to help strengthen his argument.—Chris!c/t 20:24, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete City libraries can certainly be notable, if there is enough information to write an article that is more than a directory listing. At present, there does not seem to be any. This isn't unexpected, since by usual standards this is an extremely small city, population about 13,000. I can think of no town of this size anywhere which is likely to have notable libraries--unless the building happens to be notable historically--in which case it's basically the building not the institution that is notable. In the US, we usually merge articles like these for any municipal institution that is a mere listing. DGG ( talk ) 04:02, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lake Shore, Jacksonville, Florida[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No claim of notability here. While geographic locations can generally be shown to be notable, I'm having problems finding reliable sources for this area. Existing article reads like an essay and includes unreferenced speculation about future improvements and local businesses such as a grocery and roller rink. Supplied references and external links are to a local home owners association and a little league baseball team. Only references to "Lake Shore" in the local paper are to the road or the middle school by the same name. RadioFan (talk) 18:07, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Does no one have any thoughts on this article?--RadioFan (talk) 15:56, 14 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unverified. This appears to be an informal expression for an area of Jacksonville. The term is used in a number of names of businesses, churches, etc. [33], as well as the middle school, but I could find no official sourcing for it at the City of Jacksonville website [34] or anywhere else. The two references provided at the article do not even mention "Lake Shore". I'm generally in favor of articles about neighborhoods of cities, and the template indicates that there are a dozen other articles about Jacksonville neighborhoods, but I just can't find any verification that this is a real neighborhood. Will change my !vote if shown some evidence that it is real. --MelanieN (talk) 15:19, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Neighborhoods of Jacksonville, Florida mentions many different neighboods, most of which are completely unreferenced and no more or less notable than Lake Shore, so I'm not certain why this one was singled-out to be split-off and then put up on Afd. (Unreferenced material should have been challenged there, not split off to face an Afd.) Lake Shore, which was previously mentioned in the Neighborhoods article[35], is now completely absent from that article. Location (talk) 20:40, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Lake Shore is shown on WIKIMAPIA (not my doing) with the boundaries mentioned in the revised entry which was (until qiute recently) previously included as a neighborhood of Jacksonville, FL_before I ever offered my 2cents. How anyone could fathom that it is not a "real" neighborhood is beyond reason, comprehension and basic logic. City of Jacksonville recognizes the neighborhood's boundaries, and in truth the oldest public record and available plat maps substantiate my statements. Current real estate deeds to properties north of Lake Shore as defined show that those properties lie in Hillcrest, Riverside Villas, Murray Hill. Ask a local real estate professional. Better yet, consult the property appraiser's section of WWW.COJ.NET (City of Jacksonville's official web address) and use the GIS MAP to navigate your way through the truth! With regard to any issue rising in the form of conflict, I simply ask to be made aware of the SPECIFIC bone you wish to pick. Edit it yourself if you know more of local fact and history, but to remove Lake Shore from Jacksonville's list of neighborhoods is ludacris. Check www.metrojacksonville.com and search Lake Shore, if you need to see that the area described is largely known by locals as I have described. I am old and not the savviest of pc users, but facts are facts, and I have them. I second the statement below regarding this article being singled out. Why? This is not a glamorous neighborhood, but it also isn't the sprawling expanse previously described before I involved myself. Marinate on this: Edgewood Avenue dead-ends into Avondale. Does that mean that all properties along that road are in Avondale? No. Similarly, Lake Shore Boulevard passes through other neighborhoods which are in fact not Lake Shore. Assume good faith! 74.170.103.4 (talk) 07:11, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This subject is receiving attention because it was broken out into a dedicated article where it's essay-like tone and lack of reliable sources as references brought it here. Noone has any particular problem with this area, its just not clear how it might meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Looking at the 2 links mentioned above searching Lake Shore on http://www.metrojacksonville.com brings up only hits on the middle school where a community pool is located, no mention of the name as an area of the city. That same site has a neighborhood section and after paging through 20+ pages of neighborhood info, it is not mentioned anywhere. A search on the City of Jacksonville website (http://www.coj.net) brings up the middle school and a meeting concerning preservation of the sign leading into the Lake Shore subdivision. It's common for subdivision names to be included in tax data, and I'm not seeing anything in the GIS application on the City of Jacksonville website to indicate that this is a commonly used designation within the city. Based on the available references, Lake Shore appears to be a well established subdivision in Jacksonville rather than a label, either in common or historic use, for an area of the city. Based on the efforts to preserve the sign to this subdivision, it seems notable enough to me for a brief mention in the neighborhood article (without the details on local businesses and boundries that aren't supported by reliable sources) but not as a dedicated article.--RadioFan (talk) 12:23, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment While it is located within Jacksonville, Lake Shore is listed separately as a populated place in the USGS Geographic Names Information System database (see entry here). In general, places that are classified by the USGS as "populated places" are normally kept. --Polaron | Talk 17:39, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing my !vote to Keep since a reliable source has been produced by Polaron showing it is a recognized place. --MelanieN (talk) 04:52, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The only reliable source that has been brought to light is the USGS one above. With that reference we can create an article identifying the area as a neighborhood in Jacksonville. The rest of the material in the article still appears to be original research. I'm still not seeing how a dedicated article that meets notability guidelines can be created on this topic. A very selective merge back into the article on the neighborhoods of Jacksonville seems appropriate.--RadioFan (talk) 20:55, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Neighborhoods of Jacksonville, Florida per the above comments by RadioFan. I would like to see this neighborhood/area mentioned there, but I agree that there really isn't enough for a stand-alone article. Location (talk) 21:38, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He is the son of a boxer and was the owner of a music club, this does not make him very notable. No other reasons are given that he is notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stone (talk • contribs) 17:25 11th September 2010 (UTC)

  • Comment For the record, Anselmo was the proprietor of multiple live music clubs, important on the New Orleans music scene for decades. I don't know if this qualifies as notability. Probably not much non-local press coverage of him, and most of that in the monthly music magazines. However I think the images on Commons being used to illustrate this article should NOT be deleted from there without separate deletion requests, since many of them are good illustrations of New Orleans in previous eras, regardless of notability level of Anselmo. Infrogmation (talk) 18:28, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Anselmo has been well known by many popular musicians locally and nationwide.
