I am not convinced that the subject of this article meets the notability criteria. His chief claims to notability appear to be serving as chair of a state government agency, and failing to win an election, and I an not sure that Wikipedia needs an article about him in order to be complete.

  • comment i confess i am not sufficiently motivated to craft crafty google search strings in this case, but note the coverage in Alistair Wood's Ukulele for Dummies [1] which strongly suggests notability. it says, among other things, that "almost every ukulele player in the UK has had a Mahalo ukulele pass through his or her hands at some point". 86.44.31.213 (talk) 15:56, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I can find no significant coverage about this brand of ukulele. The reference to the Mahalo brand in Ukes for Dummies, and in other websites that I can find indicate that that this is a common ukulele because it is cheap. However, nobody appears to have really taken note of this particular brand with any sort of significant coverage, and so I don't see that notability is met. -- Whpq (talk) 15:28, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The topic appears to be notable as it is documented in detail by independent reliable sources such as this. Per WP:GNG and WP:PRESERVE it should therefore be kept, not deleted. Warden (talk) 22:10, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No assertion of notability. A quick search reveals little to nothing on the Internet that we could use to grant notability. Ofsted report linked above is a statutory requirement, thus there is one for every school in England. It does little more than confirm the school's existence. Pit-yacker (talk) 22:21, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The report is of 16 pages and full of detail. For example, it tells us that the teachers use electronic whiteboards; that the school teaches French; that the pupils attend committees about the curriculum; that there is a school council; that there are well-attended after school clubs; and so on. This is fundamental information about the operation of the school in its role of providing education. Readers who are actually interested in education will get a comprehensive understanding of what is done there for this is the report's purpose and it is written and reviewed by professionals.

Unless it is the only primary school (or one of the only) in the country to teach French, and the report doesn't state that to be the case, it doesn't really establish notability.
As for use as a general reference, to be honest, I'm still not sure what use most of the information is unless you actually quote the report verbatim. Otherwise, given there are no other independent sources about the school, we'll just end up with an indiscriminate list of bullet points as there is no other information to tie it together.

  • Delete - Non-notable.Fails GNG. Redirect might be preferred if it was enshrined in a guideline or policy. But it's not unfortunately. It's just custom and practice that's grown up that is unsupported by anything official. Let's delete and move on. Might encourage acceptance of a decent notability guideline for schools.Fmph (talk) 10:17, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Where does it say you can't have a redirect? Yes, there's no policy saying you must create a redirect (just common practice), but neither is there any policy saying you must not create a redirect. Policy is, incidentally, usually created when common practice is formalised in writing, so if we were to never follow precedent like you suggest, it's most likely policy as we know it would never get formed on anything. The de facto policy on redirects is generally that we can have one if consensus is that we should have one, and this is quite sensible redirect to have. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I support your view Chris. 'Redirect' is one of the official closures, and indeed all policies and/or guidelines recommend seeking any solution that leaves deletion as a last resort. This does not mean that Wikipdia is inclusionist per se, but caution is the best policy where deletion is uncertain to be absolutely necessary, and where AfD !votes (either way) are not founded on policy, guidelines, or precedent. AfD is not the venue for debating policy, but it can certainly determine a precedent, as it has done over the years on a vast scale for redirecting school articles. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:04, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • The array of !votes here -- delete, redirect, and keep -- would seem to support the view that assessing consensus in a discussion at the notability guideline, and enshrining it in the guideline, may perhaps be a helpful course.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
          • We already have a notability guideline and this topic passes it by virtue of the detailed sources written by independent professionals. The contrary opinions are just WP:IDONTLIKEIT supported by appeals to essays which are just more personal opinions and so there is no policy-based argument to delete. The point about redirection/merger is just shuffling the material around and so is not important in the question of deletion. Warden (talk) 10:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • Hi Warden. My point is merely that the views expressed on this page range widely, and your view (which I respect) is not one that all editors agree with, and that the divergence of views expressed as to what our policy is vis-a-vis articles such as this one suggests that greater clarity at the notability guideline might be helpful.--Epeefleche (talk) 10:53, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
            • Reply to Warden. The arguments to delete are actually based on facts provided by people who have knowledge of the subject, and have explained why the source does not establish notability. If it was just a case of citing policy we wouldn't need to have discussions. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 11:22, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Agree wholeheartedly. This topic fails GNG. An Ofsted report might establish notability IF it commented on something notable. For instance if it mentioned that the school had no interactive whiteboards (IWB) and mentioned that the reason for this was that the school governing body had made a strategic decision NOT to spend money in this area in order to direct funds into another more deserving area, then that might, just might, establish notability for the school. But an Ofsted report which establishes that most of the teaching is good, with the remainder being satisfactory (or vice-versa) does nothing to establish notability. That would just establish that the school is among the middle 80% of schools on the Ofsted bell curve. It's the content of the report that counts, not the report itself per se. I'm not convinced that all primaries ARE non-notable. Nor am I convinced that all UK schools are notable by virtue of the presence of an Ofsted report. If we want to say that all secondaries are notable then fine, let's enshrine that in a guideline that is not subject to challenge every time a user creates an article about their school. And let's also include some guidelines on merge and redirect of primaries. But don't expect volunteer editors with limited time to contribute to embark on a protracted bureaucratic process that will eventually end up where we are today every time they want to do a little cleanup. Let's give them the tools, authority and support to go and make this paedia a better experience for readers. Fmph (talk) 12:00, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have attended many notability discussions about a variety of topics and so have the breadth of experience to say that this topic passes the requirements of the WP:GNG with ease. Many topics struggle to find sources of such good quality as an Ofsted report. For example, see Whole stuffed camel which was a recent snow keep. That has sources but they are not as substantial or as convincing as an Ofsted report. To delete a solid respectable school on the grounds that it is mundane and boring compared to such traveller's tales is a travesty. We are here to cover all knowledge not just the bizarre. Warden (talk) 13:11, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect as the standard way of handling it. That we do this, is a guideline in practice, re-established every once in a while by someone who wants to test it. Not everything labeled as a a guideline or even policy is actually effective, if we don't follow it (need I mention NPA), and many things that aren't specified as such are actually de facto guidelines that we always follow. I don't quite understand Fmph's complaint here, nobody need go through any bureaucratic process to achieve a reasonable result--no secondary school article ever need or should be taken to AfD, for the result is 100% predictable, and all primary school articles can be redirected boldly, unless someone actually wants to make a case for an exceptional one. It's questioning this process that will cause endless bureaucracy, because then every school article of any sort will lead to an AfD discussion. The more things we get out of AfD the better, so we can spend the effort discussing the things that really do need discussing 8in order to form or clareify a consensus. DGG ( talk ) 05:17, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wonder whether perhaps it may be slightly less than accurate to say that the result is 100% predictable. Many editors have asserted what the well-settled consensus is, but even this week we have had a variety of opinions expressed at AfDs similar to this one, and different closes. Given the range of opinions expressed just this week as to similar AfDs (ranging from keep to delete to redirect to merge), and the range of closes just this week of similar AfDs (from delete to redirect to merge), and given that even this week editors have disagreed as to what our "well-settled" policy is, I think we might benefit from writing into our notability guideline precisely what our consensus is. That would help matters, and if it is well-settled it should be something we can do without a problem -- though I've heard from some editors that they fear that our lack of consensus on it would lead to us not being able to add it to our other, similar notability criteria that are reflected in subject-specific guidelines..--Epeefleche (talk) 06:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems clear that there are varying opinions and preferences about schools so that general consensus cannot be found for this topic. What's not clear is why schools are such a battleground when they are generally quite respectable. My impression is that it's because few editors actually like schools as a topic. Everyone thinks they are an expert because they all went to school themselves. But the topic does not attract enthusiastic fans in the way of topics such as cabbages and kings, let alone Doctor Who and football. My impression is that the schools project is now run largely by haters who are constantly at loggerheads with advocates and old boys of particular schools. There seem to be few editors who take in an interest in education as a general field and so such topics are comparatively neglected. Warden (talk) 13:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You are of course entitled to an opinion. But it's just that - an opinion. I certainly don't recognise your characterisation of editors in general being anti-schools. I have personally spent quite a bit of time and effort bring a bunch of local secondary schools up to scratch. At the same time I have merge and redirected numerous local primaries. that's cos I abide by consensus which is generally to either delete or redirect most primaries. What I've noticed is many editors with particular attachments to individual schools to the extent that they display severe ownership characteristics, and object strongly to their little favourites (despite such articles having virtually nil content of note) being merged and redirected. These may or may not be old boys and girls. Who knows. And I know I'm not the only one. And if we didnt have to waste time trying to implement consensus against the recalcitrant few, we might actually be in danger to improving the paedia. Fmph (talk) 14:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect/merge to Shipley, West Yorkshire per usual practice. An Ofsted report does not establish notability because every primary school in England has one (by law) and consensus is not in favour of the idea that all primary schools are notable. I cannot find better sources, hence this school is not notable. Hut 8.5 20:48, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Marton, Harrogate. The clear consensus (delete plus redirect plus merge) is that an article on this school is not warranted. As the redirect/merge suggestion is reasonable and no convincing argument has been given why it would not be a reasonable alternative to deletion, the result shall be a redirect. Editors are free to merge content from the school article (viewable in its history) to the redirect target. Mkativerata (talk) 18:57, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Amongst many details, that report tells us that the school is free from bullying; that the pupils behave especially well; that they share ideas with confidence; that they listen to others with interest; that they are very polite and learn with enthusiasm. How very different from what happens here... Warden (talk) 23:09, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
...and unless these points are quoted verbatim in context, what meaning do they really carry? For example, out of the context of this report and other Ofsted reports how do we measure behaviour? Pit-yacker (talk) 01:40, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Ofsted reports are authoritative - they determine and define the quality of the school for official purposes and seem to be taken seriously by everyone else. They are thus superior to arbitrary journalism and vested interests as sources. They are the best possible source and so it is a nonsense to say that they are inadmissable. Warden (talk) 08:41, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You side stepped my point. I also didn't say they are inadmissible. What I am saying is that without any other significant coverage, it is impossible to write a good article. That is probably half the reason we have policies requiring wide ranging coverage? I am also saying that I think text in Ofsted reports needs to be used with extreme care. Yes, the report mentions that the pupils are well behaved. However, outside the context of this report and the wider Ofsted inspection system, I think care needs to be taken as to how that is used such that we don't misrepresent what the inspectors were trying to say or mean. Pit-yacker (talk) 13:50, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's like saying that the Racing Post doesn't establish notability for a race horse. It is nonsense because Her Majesty's Inspector's are the experts in this topic - they spend days at the school studying it and then writing it up. What better source could we possibly have? And what policy do you derive your bizarre theory from or did you just make it up? Warden (talk) 23:56, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • And this legal obligation arises because the powers-that-be decided that this is important information which should be made public. The BBC report such details as do other news organisations such as The Northern Echo. All these various authorities and media consider that this school is of some significance. Who are you to decide differently? You have written dozens of articles about horses such as Raven's Pass. Personally, I am not the slightest bit interested in any of these horses — they seem of little significance outside of racing and betting circles. What is your policy basis for saying that short-lived horses are in but a school which has existed for over 150 years and educated thousands of pupils is out? Warden (talk) 00:23, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, schools for less than 5 pupils or for adults would be outside the scope of Ofsted inspection of this sort. And, of course, schools outside England and Wales. School inspection is obviously an expensive service - Ofsted costs about £250M per year - and so is reserved for cases which are considered significant, i.e. notable. Warden (talk) 01:06, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Presumably they are just talking about registered schools. There are large numbers of trade schools, language schools, tutoring services, Sunday schools &c. which would not be so registered. Warden (talk) 08:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Are you serious? The concept of a "Sunday School" being treated as a real school really is hilarious. This isn't the nineteenth century (where the only education many children got was Sunday School) any more you know? Pit-yacker (talk) 13:32, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think this comes to the point below - just because you attach the term school to something doesn't mean its a school in the terms most people would understand. Many churches have "Sunday schools" with "teachers", "classes", "head teachers" and committees. However, in some cases these "teachers" have little or no qualification beyond GCSE, let alone a qualification to "teach". In reality they aren't schools as most people would understand them - they aren't giving a formal education of any description and they aren't a substitute for a formal education. In the better cases they are more akin to private study groups, in the worse cases they are informal baby-sitting services. Whilst the lack of information makes it difficult to assess, the school you give appears to fall into the former category.Pit-yacker (talk) 14:47, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

AFAICT, your point is slightly misleading. Ofsted only covering England and Wales has more to do with the UK's slightly quirky constitutional make-up, than factors such as notability or cost. Schools in Scotland come under the remit of Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Education, which provides the equivalent function to Ofsted. Pit-yacker (talk) 01:50, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wales is separate now too, as is Northern Ireland. And other countries and states have their own particular arrangements. The point is that not all schools have Ofsted reports as Tigerboy claims. Warden (talk) 08:54, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I actually said "every school in England" see above.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 09:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • And so, given the bizarre ageism which seems to abound in this area, we would presume notability for that institution, even though it is not inspected in the same thorough way by Ofsted. The age of pupils seems to have nothing sensible to do with notability and so should be dismissed as a reason to delete. Warden (talk) 10:54, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • the point is that the "London School of English" it is not what is called a "school" in common British usage. Ofsted also has no authority over driving schools, card schools or schools of fish. Or is that "speciesism". Tigerboy1966 (talk) 12:14, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course it's a school. It has teachers, it has classes, it educates, &c. It is officially accredited in various ways but it's just not within the parameters of Ofsted. Warden (talk) 13:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Run of the mill is just an essay not a policy. An Ofsted report is significant coverage per WP:SIGCOV: "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. There's nothing there about routine or government agency so you're just making things up. Warden (talk) 08:35, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect/merge to Marton, Harrogate as is normal for articles on non-notable schools. An OFSTED report does not establish notability because OFSTED is legally obliged to inspect all schools in England (for pedants, Section 5 of the Education Act 2005 obliges the Chief Inspector to inspect "every school in England to which this section applies", namely community, foundation and voluntary schools, community and foundation special schools, maintained nursery schools, academies, city technology colleges, city colleges for the technology of the arts, and certain other special schools). Warden's examples of entities with "school" in the name which are not inspected by OFSTED do not change this point. If we allowed OFSTED reports to confer notability then every school in England would be notable, something which is clearly outside previous consensus. Hut 8.5 16:16, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect/merge to Marton, Harrogate as is normal for articles on non-notable schools, and as Hut 8.5 says.
  • merge or redirect I'm a little surprised at the argument from my good friend the col., proposing that a routine bureaucratic report is sufficient for notability DGG ( talk ) 04:47, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • My argument is policy-based, deriving from WP:GNG and WP:PRESERVE. There seems to be no logical difference in principle between these inspection reports and other sources upon which we base articles such as census returns and book reviews. They are not routine in that such detailed independent reports are not commonly published for libraries, say. That's because libraries are not as important as schools in public life and so millions of pounds are not spent inspecting them and publishing the results. Warden (talk) 07:24, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Every state school in England gets an Ofsted report every three years or so, and sometimes with interim reports. The reports basically state: "This school has classrooms, teachers, and students, and should do better at [...] and is graded X". It establishes the existence of the school but not uniqueness or notability for anything in particular. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 08:18, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. The key word in WP:GNG is significant in the term "...significant coverage...". An Ofsted report per se is not significant, although it may in some circumstances be significant where it establishes evidence of uniqueness or notability. Fmph (talk) 08:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no problem with Ofsted reports being used as sources. But they do not establish notability, for the reasons explained above. And I don't think I would get an article on my great-grandfather saved on the grounds that he was mentioned in the census returns of 1881, 1891 and 1901 (Multiple RS!) Tigerboy1966 (talk) 11:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Ofsted reports certainly establish uniqueness — they provide the Unique Reference Number and other particular attributes of the school such as its location and head. By grading the school and reporting on its performance in detail, they provide much material for our articles. This is what is required for significance which "means that sources address the subject directly in detail". The trouble with the nay-sayers here is that they think that words like notability and significance mean that topics should be special — unusual, exciting, extraordinary, &c. But they don't and the guideline makes this clear by saying "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or popularity...". And that's why we have articles like Calomarde, Aragon - a place of 73 inhabitants - fewer than the number of pupils in this school. To discriminate against this school as a topic when there are substantial, independent sources which cover it in detail is contrary to numerous policies: WP:CENSOR, WP:NPOV, WP:PRESERVE. And there is no policy-based argument for deletion - not one. Uniqueness is not a policy. Mundaneness is not a policy. Personal preference is not a policy. Warden (talk) 12:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, we should have an article for every one of them, just as we expect to have an article for every Polish village (about 150,000 settlements ) or every type of fungus (about 1,500,000 species). As this is the English Wikipedia then English schools are a far more relevant topic to its readership than clathrus treubii or Kami-Katsura Station. Warden (talk) 13:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds remarkably POINTy to me... Consensus has determines that primary schools are non-notable unless they fulfil the GNG, which this clearly doesn't. If you disagree, take it up at Wikipedia talk:Notability (organizations and companies), which is the appropriate guideline for schools. Yunshui 雲‍水 13:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Non-notable.Fails GNG. Redirect might be preferred if it was enshrined in a guideline or policy. But it's not unfortunately. It's just custom and practice that's grown up that is unsupported by anything official. Let's delete and move on. Might encourage acceptance of a decent notability guideline for schools.Fmph (talk) 10:02, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect, as the usual way of handling it. Contrary to what was said just above, redirection for primary schools, or anything else that lacks notability but is worth mentioning, is firmly established policy, as a basic part of WP:Deletion Policy, that if there is an alternative to deletion, it should be taken. In the case of schools, this particular action is very firmly established also by years of absolutely consistent decisions at AfD, which is as much a guideline as if it were written down as such. And, of course we do not even need a guideline or policy to take the obvious course for handling something--that;s one of our foundational principles. The guideline we follow for primary schools is that they are not notable, in general. That there are a few people who think they are all notable regardless does not affect the acceptance of the guideline, because we never decide on that basis. When we do keep one here, it's because of special characteristics. DGG ( talk ) 04:53, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am in agreement that a redirect is fine here, if that is the consensus at this AfD. I don't see anything RS-supported in the text to warrant keeping any text via merger of the text into the article that this is re-directed to. In similar AfDs of late, we have had a range of !votes -- including keep, delete, merge, and redirect. And we have had varying closes. And a variety of assertions by different editors as to what our standard way of doing thing is. And even here we have different views expressed. Perhaps a notability guideline addition would help clarify these type AfDs.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:06, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • the only varying closes we have had are for those primary schools were there is a speciual factor, which is asserted is enough to cause notability ; such will always come here, unless the school is famous enough that nobody doubts it. the various voices are people wording the standard a little differently, but meaning the same thing, or trying to challenge a standard. Are there any examples, of a primary school kept without there being some strong special factors? Given that the variation of AfD discussions is at least 10%--some would say double that-- that anything gets as much consensus as this does is extraordinary. DGG ( talk ) 05:23, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just this week I've seen varying closes for other reasons -- some have been delete without redirect, and some have been redirect, and some have been merge (without it being clear in some cases that only RS-supported material should be merged, which I would imagine would be the better course). Also, while some people may view a school being 100 or 150 years old as a special factor, other editors do not share that view. And our friend the Colonel and a couple of others have viewed the detailed bureacratic automatic report the same way we view the census for cities and town -- as sufficient to meet our notability standards, and confer notability ... though that view has not prevailed as of yet this week. And some editors think we treat schools that stop at grade 10 or 11 as high schools -- at least in certain countries -- and automatically keep them, while others think the "keep high schools" well-settled rule applies only to schools that have education through grade 12. For my part, my greatest concern is that we move forward in a consensus-driven manner; I care less whether we include grade 10 schools, than that we have people claiming that it is well-settled that we keep them, while others claim that it is well-settled that we do not. Perhaps a well-crafted clear notability guideline would be helpful, though some think our divisions (signs that matters are not well-settled?) are such that we could not pass one.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Other sources already in the article. Notable people in the industry have appeared there. Dream Focus 01:33, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'd like to note that one of the biggest sources on the page is "www.animecons.com/", a site that merely lists convention dates and listings. Even the smallest and non-noteworthy of cons can get listed there, so I don't see where that would count as a reliable source at all. It's like listing IMDb as a source for various movies actors have been in. Other listings on the page include the con's forum (which can't be a reliable source) and a video blog that's released by a representative of the convention. Even if it wasn't, Vidgle appears to be the equivalent of YouTube and the videos aren't by anyone official or an official news entity. The listing on ANN [4] is a press release, not an article about the convention at all. There's nothing here that can be considered a reliable source out there.

It's a smaller convention, but it has good attendance. And appears to be growing.

  • Comment Here's the issues I have with the links as follows:
1) [5] This just says when the con happens. This site will list any con that gives their information to this site. This is little more than a press release.
2) [6] This is a college website and I'm not too sure how notable this particular college newspaper is.
3-4) These are links to animecons and only shows the dates the cons occurred. Existing and holding cons does NOT equate to notability. I can hold a party and put out press releases, but that does not give that party notability.
5) [7] This is just the forums for the convention. Not usable as a reliable source at all.
6-9) These link to information about OTHER cons and do not refer to Setsucon at all. Size does not equal notability either.
10) [8] This is a link to the same college newspaper as before. So far these are the only remotely reliable links and you need more than a college newspaper's reports of the convention.
11) [9] Setsucon is mentioned once, briefly in the article. It is not about Setsucon at all. Setsucon is just mentioned as an example. It cannot be used even as a trivial source.
12) Doesn't mention Setsucon at all.
13) [10] This is a list of events for Otakon. Doesn't mention Setsucon at all and besides, it's just a press release.
14) [11] This is a page from the Otakon website. Does not mention Setsucon at all.
15-17) Here are more press releaseson from animecons.com. STILL not reliable sources that show notability.
18) [12] Another link to the Setsucon forums. Still not usable as a reliable source.
19-20) These are both links to the Setsucon website. Not usable as a reliable source showing notability.

None of these links are usable as far as notability proving goes and I'm surprised that people are claiming that they are. The only ones that seem remotely usable are the college papers and we need more than just a college newspaper giving two reports of the con. There's no notability here.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

  • Comment Has everyone seen all the sources that the other anime cons are using on Wikipedia? I think we're being a bit harsh in judgement. Examples: Anime Boston, PortConMaine, AnimeNEXT, They all cite AnimeCons.com for their numbers, because where else can you get those numbers from? Maybe from their own sites... But that's it. Even if ANN or someone big reports on it, it will just be noted as a "press release." ... I'm claiming the same notability for sources as you, tokyogirl79, but I just give those sources that do provide credibility more value (i.e. the newspaper articles and actually being noticed by ANN --meaning that they bothered to appear at their con and review it) . Of course the writers of this wiki need to cite the con's website and some direct material. But you kind of need to, though. How else do you prove that something exists then by citing the event itself? I guess what I would like to see is more substance taken from the newspaper articles and have some extraneous info taken out. Then, I think it could be a nice little article. It has a lot of potential in my opinion.MoonlightWanderer90 (talk)MoonlightWanderer90 —Preceding undated comment added 13:00, 4 January 2012 (UTC).[reply]
    • Reply - The state of other articles is not under discussion here. Those other conventions may also be non-notable and possibly be deleted to. Simply claiming that press releases and directory entries impart notability does not make it so. I too would like to see more substance taken from newspaper articles. The problem here is that is no such coverage with which to develop the article. If there are such newspaper articles, I am unable to find them, and nobody else has provided any either. -- Whpq (talk) 14:25, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. There's a big difference between a news source reporting on a convention and a press release. A news source reporting on a convention is where they write their own piece about a convention. A press release is something that is written up by the convention president/managers and their press division and then handed to the news to run. A press release is not written by Anime News Network, nor is it written by AnimeCons.com. AnimeCons.com just reports the data that is handed to them. The issue heere is that people are trying to use it as a reliable source that shows notability and it's not and can't be used in that aspect. What bothers me about people trying to say that ANN wrote about Setsucon is that really, they didn't. It's mentioned once, as a one sentence piece where they mention convention panels. It's not about Setsucon at all and they were only used as an example. It can't even be used as a trivial source. It's like Russell Brand saying that he likes bacon flavored olives once in an article where he talks predominantly about his new movie, then someone trying to use that as a reference for an article about bacon flavored olives. The only things I find on ANN about Setsucon are press releases that are sent directly to ANN from Setsucon itself. As far as writing a real article about Setsucon, ANN has done no such thing.

  • There are 63 results at Anime News Network [13]. They think it is notable enough to mention when it is happening, and who will be there. A lot of the results seem to be pres releases, but still, if they weren't notable, then the Anime News Network wouldn't publish those. Dream Focus 15:03, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply - Can you point out which of those represents significant indpendent coverage? A vague wave of the hand saying that an abundance of search results must indicate notability is not one of the criteria that satisifies any of our notability guidelines. -- Whpq (talk) 15:08, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. We still need reliable sources to show that it's notable and press releases, no matter how many there are, is not really a show of notability. It could just mean that Setsucon has a very good press department that is diligent in forwarding press releases to various offices. Web hits, whether it's on google or on ANN, does not bestow notability no matter what the number because if it is truly notable then you'll have multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the con's publicity team. (IE, that they write their own stories instead of publishing press releases for the con.) I hate to sound obstinate, but this needs more than just press releases and college newspapers. Most conventions aren't notable enough to be on here, unfortunately. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 16:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
Is there anything gained by deleting this article? Whether or not a newspaper reporter cares about something enough to write about it, isn't really a good way to judge things as notable. That's why the guidelines are suggestions, not absolute rules. Wikipedia is not a moot court or a bureaucracy. WP:BURO A conventions seen as notable enough by those in the industry for them to appear there every year, is clearly notable. Dream Focus 17:09, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is something to be gained. We keep Wikipedia from being cluttered with articles about non-notable subjects. Otherwise, why bother with a notability guidelines at all. Notability isn't established by the presence of notable individuals who are generally paid to make an appearance. -- Whpq (talk) 17:56, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ebube Chukwurah

[edit]
Ebube Chukwurah (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Complete lack of verifiability that anything in this article is related (or relevant) to Ebube Chukwurah or that Ebube Chukwurah even exists. This was originally pointed out on May 25th, 2010, at which point the name got exactly 7 Google results; Wikipedia mirrors and social media have raised this to 437 results since then, but none of them are reliable sources. It also fails notability guidelines. It should also be pointed out that practically all information on the subject was added by a single user, Bargainocean, whose sole contribution to Wikipedia is creating and editing that article. There are four sources given in the article:

  • Jan U. Pinborough and Barbara J. Clarke, The Miracle of Change, Lihona, June 1996, which I found at [18]. I'm not sure what part of the section relies on this source (couldn't find any relevant connections), but either way, this one fails WP:NOTRELIABLE for being an article from a church newspaper about how religion changed Florence Chukwurah (supposedly Ebube's mother)'s life. Even if it were reliable, all it does is prove Florence exists. Worse than that, the end of the article states Florence has two sons, Emeka and Uchenna. As the article was written well after 1985 (according to the article the year Ebube was born), this would imply this Florence is not the mother of Ebube (bar special circumstances like adoption, which aren't mentioned anywhere). This article therefore seems completely unrelated to Ebube Chukwurah.
  • Kevin Clawson, Reach the Children, http://www.reachthechildren.org/about/board_of_directors2.cfm?pagetitle=Board%20of%20Directors. This one helpfully gives a link, but all it does is confirm that Christopher N. Chukwurah, supposedly Ebube's father, exists. There is no source confirming this Christopher is actually Ebube's father or in any other way related to this article.
  • Deseret News, Quorum of the Seventy, April 6, 1997. Found it at [19]. Confirms that a man named Christopher N. Chukwurah is a 'former member of the Quorum of the Seventy of the LDS Church'. Relation to the Christopher from the previous source is unknown, but let's give it the benefit of the doubt. Still does not say anything about Ebube.
  • Idaho State University, March 3, 2010. I was unable to find this source. It apparently confirms that Ebube attended Idaho State University at one point, which could finally confirm at least that this man named 'Ebube Chukwurah' exists. Regardless, even if it contained a detailed 100-page description of his time at Idaho university, it doesn't prove more in this article than the half sentence stating he's attended the Idaho State University.

We are lacking sources on the following issues:

  • Whether or not Ebube actually exists (unless the fourth source is found).
  • Ebube's birth date.
  • Ebube being an American.
  • Ebube originally being from Nigeria.
  • Ebube being a businessman or entrepreneur.
  • Ebube being the son of Florence and Christopher Chukwurah.
  • Bargain Ocean Marketing Inc existing.
  • Bargain Ocean Marketing Inc being a company that 'has a worldwide business reach and provides logistics and consulting services to a worldwide clientele utilizing the Vehicle of the internet to minimize overhead associated with its competitors'.
  • Ebube being CEO of this company.
  • Ebube attending Brigham Young University in Utah.
  • Ebube pursuing a degree in Economics.
  • Ebube owning several other businesses.
  • Ebube being involved in numerous entrepreneurial ventures.
  • Ebube having made numerous contributions to businesses around the globe.
  • Ebube having exceptional talent in business.
  • The man in the photograph being Ebube.

Unless these statements are sourced (especially the ones regarding his actual existence), we have no information on Ebube whatsoever, in which case I feel this article should be deleted. VDZ (talk) 18:12, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to International Conservation Caucus Foundation#Conservation Council of Nations. I am unable to locate significant coverage in reliable, secondary sources. The sole information I have been able to locate outside of job recruitment notices and primary sources focuses on a couple of celebrations of the launch of the organization. The org's website states that they brought "together global leaders in conservation at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly", however, I have not been able to verify this claim through independent sources. Nothing in any printed reports, archives, or news reports of the press or the archives of the United Nations. No books, magazines, newspapers, or journals. The most information that turns up about this organization is on their own website and that of ICCF. While it appears that notability may be forthcoming, I see nothing at this time. It appears that this article was created as an attempt to merely promote awareness of the initiative, as developed by ICCF. However, independent notability is not yet established.

  • Comment – Ah, I get it! I assumed that this came from this (mainly because it looked copypasted and that it said "The Legend of Zelda Wiki" on top and "This Wiki is in progress" on the bottom), but now I think I understand a bit better about the background. Basically, the "official timeline" has nothing to do with this article; instead, nearly all of the content was in fact copypasted from the plot sections of all of our Zelda game articles. Please compare:
While the "Timeline" section is not copied from anywhere, it's completely unreferenced and looks like some conclusions someone came to after analyzing all the plotlines or possibly from looking at the new "official timeline" that surfaced. In any case, this is likely original research.
I still stand by my recommendation for deletion, as there is nothing being added here that we don't already have. Given the new information from the "official timeline" and the discussions that have been ongoing at Talk:The Legend of Zelda (including quite a few calls that the "Chronology" section needs to be rewritten), any developments that come forth from the official timeline should be directed there. --MuZemike 22:54, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
More of a discussion for Template talk:The Legend of Zelda.

  • Delete not only is this unsourced but Nintendo in fact did recently release an actual timeline and it directly contradicts the content of this article.[20]. One example would be that the timeline in the article has no time splits while the newly release timeline by Nintendo has 3. So not only is this article violating WP:OR the content is verifiablbly wrong so a merge is not necessary. A redirect to the series article to a section mentioning the new official timeline however may be a good idea.--70.24.207.225 (talk) 03:50, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to clarify and say that I like the idea of this article. It's actual state is quite terrible right now. But I keep by "keep" stance; an article of this could exist, the sources are out there. Sergecross73 msg me 22:56, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that everything in the article right now is either copypasta or OR. Even if you wanted a completely separate article on a timeline, you would have to completely start over. --MuZemike 01:18, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You are right. In addition to what you said above, I was under the impression that this was some sort of long-running, long-debated article. (Not sure if I'm thinking of a different timeline article or what.) This was created a week or two ago, merely by copy-pasting from some wikia or something. No thought or work put into it. I still think that an article like this could exist, but I now believe we'd/they'd be better off deleting this mess, and recreating it from scratch, if that were to happen.

Each individual medication already has its own article.

  • Keep. Such an article is similar to Fluticasone/salmeterol. It being new doesn't mean it doesn't exist or is not notable. Should an article be made for every single possible combination? No, but this is being trialed as its own medication entirely. The information is lacking but it is still notable in my opinion. I believe the same reason for the previous example and others like Budesonide/formoterol is that the information regarding the combination could end up on both articles separately, and its easier and more appropriate to discuss the combination on its own article. | pulmonological talk • contribs 06:25, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The difference between this article and the two examples you've given is that those two examples are extremely popular medications which are marketed under trade names and sell billions of dollars per year. The medication we're discussing here is (correct me if I'm wrong) in trials, is not currently marketed under a trade name, and is not currently for sale anywhere. What if the trial fails, will this combination of drugs still be notable? Do we have an article for every combination of two medications which has undergone trials and failed? To say that this combination of medications will eventually get out of trials and be sold would be WP:CRYSTAL. I'd have no prejudice against recreating this article if it is successfully trialed and begins selling. —SW— soliloquize 17:47, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose I have a more relaxed view of notability than you. I would not be opposed to articles about drugs that have successfully made it through the trials this has. I consider this article notable, and if it fails then that would be more information to add to article regarding its failure after so many successes. In my view, wikipedia would more than likely be the article a person who heard about this medication would find if they were trying to discover its status, whether it be failed or passed or currently in trial with success. I don't mean to insinuate a giant list of articles with just rejected statuses, but those with success that suddenly fail, its not necessary to split that information to become more difficult to find. I like the idea that (within reason) people are able to easily find relevant and free information regarding the life, the universe, and everything. | pulmonological talk • contribs 16:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I just need more information about the state of this drug. At first, you said the medication is in trials, then later you implied that it has successfully completed the trials. Which is it? If this medication is completely out of the trial stage and is being prepared for commercial production, then I agree the article should stay. If there is still a chance that it will not make it out of trials and will never be a commercially available drug, then I think it is too early for this article. Disclaimer: I don't claim to know anything about this combination of drugs, nor am I even remotely an expert on anything pharmacological. —SW— gossip 17:16, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It has successfully completed phase 1 and phase 2. The only remaining trial is phase 3 which is the "Therapeutic Confirmatory" phase. I mean't to imply that if a drug has made it through the development phases all the way to the final confirmatory phase it would be wise to include. Since by this point the drug has garnered enough media attention (however minuscule) to (in my opinion) have an article about its status, history and usage and its eventual approval or rejection. Wikipedia is looked to for an explanation of literally everything and the people who are hopeful about these drugs that they hear are "having successes in trials" should have an article to read to help them educate themselves. At least in my opinion. | pulmonological talk • contribs 17:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Rail services in Bristol. Whether or not the scheme has been abandoned is not important, it's whether the scheme was notable when it was active that matters. FWIW, the fact that four local authorities are backing this scheme does mean we should take this project seriously, but there doesn't seem to be enough to say about this scheme at the moment to be worth a stand-alone article.

Appears to be WP:OR attempting to define a film genre. Many of the references are to http://www.girlswithguns.org, an individual's blog, or http://www.animeinfo.org, a defunct website. The reliable sources cited use the term literally rather than in reference to a recognized genre. A Google books search shows that the term is used to describe any cultural phenomena involving women and weapons. However it doesn't appear that any of these uses are well established in the literature. Pburka (talk) 16:11, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete / Rescue - really lacks a single solid reliably sourced cite to the claim that this is a 'sub-genre'. Cites appear to mostly be to a personal web site, a forum and a usenet FAQ. Other mentions are trivial and don't indicate that it's an actual recognised genre, rather than just an obvious descriptive label. Maybe someone could rescue this with a bit of work, and a google certainly suggests there's something to the concept/image/fetish that may be notable. But as a recognised film genre? Not established in the article at present. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 16:29, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • I see. Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article. If the source material exists, even very poor writing and referencing within a Wikipedia article will not decrease the subject's notability. Editors evaluating notability should consider not only any sources currently named in an article, but also the possibility of notability-indicating sources that are not currently named in the article.

  • Per WP:NSONG, "a separate article on a song is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album."

Delete fails WP:NSONG, has this impacted any music chart? Have any music critic(s) establishes its notability or importance to Eminem's career or to the rap/music world? Have the media picked up the song in their shows, movies or other promotional importance? Best, Jonayo! Selena 4 ever 21:50, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. For instance, Hasted has been music critic at The Independent for some 15 years [22], and Stubbs is perhaps one of the UK's better known music critics. A selection of his work for Melody Maker, Uncut and The Guardian can be found here: [23]. Both have written extensively about the track, in the process describing it as "notorious", "one of his most infamous", "deeply controversial", "the track critics zeroed in on", "appalling, thrilling, grossly unfair and brilliantly audacious" and "real-life dysfunction and the airing of lowlife laundry [which] sells big in the U.S." As you would expect from such descriptions, coverage is by no means limited to these two. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 03:55, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a marketed product of Uptown Lexington, Inc. and reads like an advert. Sources used are only local sources and do not establish notability. There are literally hundreds of thousands of annual local events and we cannot have an article on all of them. Short of national coverage, such events are not notable by Wikipedia standards. Yworo (talk) 15:29, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - For starters, this article was listed on the front page of Wikipedia in 2008 in a "Did you know?" segment (see the talk page) demonstrating it has already undergone administrative review. The lead photo was considered for photo of the day. The event has been mentioned in Kate Boehm Jerome's book North Carolina: What's So Great about This State? [24] and Charlotte and the State of North Carolina [25]. It has a 12 images accompanying it and is sufficiently referenced by reliable sources that are not from Lexington, but other cities in NC. No part of WP:N requires references are beyond a state border, and the articles scope meet or exceed the expectations of significant coverage. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:57, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    FYI, DYK is not in any way, shape, or form an "administrative review". It is done by regular editors who can approve each others submissions and typically only cares about the length of the new article and/or added material and whether the specific fact has a good citation. It is not a peer review, a good article review, or a featured article review, and cannot be relied on to review the whole article for notability. Yworo (talk) 16:28, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment even with this coverage in the local newspaper, this subject can be adequately covered in the article on the town. It's just not notable enough for a dedicated article. I'm still !voting for a merge.--RadioFan (talk) 01:58, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    It has coverage beyond the local newspaper (The Dispatch), where it is covered extensively. It has coverage in the Piedmont Triad and Metrolina areas by 3 major paper (cites now in article). These aren't exactly small cities, even if Lexington, the host to the event, is. It has been covered in at least one book as well. I get the fact that this isn't a major event, but that isn't the criteria. Dennis Brown (talk) 02:30, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Added to the article:
—Northamerica1000(talk) 02:03, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I wouldn't call any of these sources a "major" newspaper. Nothing against them and they are certainly reasonable sources to use here but I maintain that this can be adequately covered in the town's article and should be merged there. It's a wonderful public art project but hardly groundbreaking and there is really not much else that can be written about it. It will fit nicely in the parent article. --RadioFan (talk) 03:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Winston-Salem is a town of 229k people, Greensboro is 270k. Both are top 100 largest cities in the US (83rd and 69th). The Piedmont Triad area they belong to (and circulation reaches) is well over 1.6 million people, the 30th largest metro area in the USA. These aren't exactly podunk cities, and their newspapers easily pass WP:RS. Second, the article's subject does not have to be "groundbreaking" to be notable, it only has to pass the criteria, which it does by having "significant coverage by multiple reliable sources", and it does. As to your other point, WP:TOOLITTLE clearly points out that this is never a valid argument for deletion, only a reason to add material to the article. As it stands now, it has many articles in at least three newspapers (two of which are larger city publications, in different cities), one book, multiple state agencies, plus regional magazine that have covered it, in detail, sourced within the article. I do believe that the delete votes are in good faith, but by any reading of WP:N, it passes the bar, no matter how small someone thinks the event is, or now small the article is. I just hope people aren't ignoring the multiple references just because they don't like it. Dennis Brown (talk) 03:51, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Winston-Salem and Greensboro articles are not being discussed for deletion here. They are very notable. Lexington, North Carolina is also very notable and warrants a dedicated article as well. However this small town public art project doesn't inherent the notability of any of these. You need not worry, the uninvolved, closing admin will consider the whole discussion when determining whether concensus has been reached and if so what it is. Any WP:IDONTLIKEIT and as well WP:ILIKEIT !votes will be filtered out as appropriate.--RadioFan (talk) 04:03, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No one has claimed it has inherited the notability from the larger nearby cities, only that the larger nearby cities thought the art initiative was important enough to write about multiple times. My point was to the quality of the sources, ie: coming from the primary newspapers of larger cities, and not just local news rags or the local newspaper, since WP:RS is more concerned with quality instead of quantity. I've been here for a long time, I'm quite aware of the closing process and the requirements of WP:N, btw, so we should just focus on the merits of the arguments instead of worrying about the process.

  • redirect of course., per Maelanie; it's our standard way of doing it. I can not figure out, with this the usual option, why the nom decided to bring it here--especially when he himself accepts redirect as a solution.

Warden is not the only editor who has suggested that a keep is appropriate for such schools. Ebe123 for example expressed that view this week at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/École Beaubassin, and Zero did so at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bearwood Primary School (2nd nomination). And editors have disagreed often this week as to whether a delete is the better course, or a deletion of the text with a redirect of the title ... and closes this week have followed the consensus at the AfDs, which have varied.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect is in fact enshrined in one of our basic policies: WP:Deletion Policy, that alternatives to deletion are always preferred when possible.

  • Comment, epigenomics is the study of epigenomes, I agree that a merge is a good idea, the question is what the destination article would be. I have no particular opinion on this, gscholar searches result in a similar number of hits, with epigenomics having the greater number by 500 (10500 vs 11000). I think deleting either one is a bad idea, both would clearly be plausible redirects. Quasihuman | Talk 21:26, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep We're not talking about some kind of bullshit neologism that someone made up: cyber-utopianism as a view is widely discussed in the academic literature. Google Books gives me 38,000 results. The views of the opponents of cyber-utopianism are widespread now, but to understand the critiques of Nick Carr, Andrew Keen, Evgeny Morozov etc. you need to understand the cyber-utopianism of Wired (magazine), John Perry Barlow, Kevin Kelly, Ray Kurzweil, Howard Rheingold, the futurists and their admiration for the transhumanist/cryogenics movements etc. These topics haven't just magically popped out of thin air, there is a long history, and many hundreds of sources that show this. The article claims that the term was conjured up by Morozov: this is not true. Morozov attacked the concept, but the term itself has a much longer history, as you can see by doing a search on Google Books where there are books using the same term for roughly the same cluster of ideas going back to the late 1990s. See, for instance, [37], [38], [39], [40]. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:19, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
No one is arguing that the term has never been used before, so stacking up examples is beside the point. I don't see any real sign that everyone using the term has the same thing in mind. The second reference, for example, throws around loosely defined neologisms pretty freely ("digital divide", "digital capitalism", etc), all in the same sentence as "cyber utopianism" (without a hyphen). Wired/Kurzweil et at. are already covered at Technological utopianism. Hairhorn (talk) 07:01, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You think "digital divide" is a neologism too? There are books on that topic going back to 1995. It's as much of a neologism as "World Wide Web"! The policy on neologisms isn't that they are banned on Wikipedia, it's that creating a Wikipedia article in order to boost a neologism isn't allowed. That said, if there's an existing article on digital utopianism, why not redirect and merge? —Tom Morris (talk) 09:27, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be content with a redirect to Technological utopianism, but I don't see much content worth merging. Hairhorn (talk) 16:01, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and expand. Books and Scholars find a variety of writers using the term in a wide variety of contexts. Certainly the underlying idea is familiar; the world is flooded with hogwash about how the Internet or social media will bring down tyrants, unite the world, or at least make us money. It seems to me to be a concept that can be described from sources. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:05, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Keep" and "Expand": The topic certainly is viable. The word is instrumental in defining the "theory" that wherever there is internet, democracy follows. I am currently a student at Farmingdale State College, completing a course titled, " Mass Media and Politics.

  • I think I'll take off the afd notice actually. It seemed a bit too much like an advertisement when I read it and there were few hits in a google search which is what made me think it was not notable. Also, the refs given are hard to verify with no links. But after looking at the links on google books it seems like its notable enough.

  • Comment. The previous version of the article was an unholy mess. That said, she may be notable based on certain research she's done with black holes and cancer therapy that have received a fair amount of media attention, particularly this year. Here are some articles: [45]; [46]; and [47]. The first article kind of shows the beginning, and the latter two show the results. They are pretty much about the same thing, but I included one from India and one from the U.S.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:40, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Does not seem to pass notability requirements under WP:PROF or WP:BIO. Shows potential for WP-notability in the not-so-distant future; article created too early.--Eric Yurken (talk) 20:47, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Actually, she's not a professor. She's a research scientist at Ohio State University, but even applying the academic standard, why doesn't she meet "1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources"? She also seems to satisfy WP:BASIC, which is subsumed in WP:BIO. Is her research not sufficiently established yet, not "significant" enough, or what? I'm just trying to understand where you draw the line.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:53, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is a subjective call Bbb23. Publication itself, even if refereed, is not enough. It has to make an impact among researchers first, which in the case of this subject I’d bet will happen in a couple of years. As I have been reminded in the past by experienced editors such as DGG, we need to always look at the big picture. As for standards, the best way for you to assess mine is to look at my recent contributions in deletion discussions; several of which were keeps. I can always revise my vote if a convincing argument is made.--Eric Yurken (talk) 21:07, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately for us in academia, Yurken's point is valid: an influence has to be proven and cannot easily be assumed from having been published. Thus, we have things like impact factors and citation indices and what not. Of course, if one can prove that the subject's influence is acknowledged and cited (but even that's not easy--it would need to be clearly cited as meaningful and important, even if wrong), then notability can be established. Now, the main editor (now blocked) was fond of putting in paragraphs that stated how many publications someone had, but in the natural sciences that isn't even always meaningful, given that many papers have many co-authors, for instance. Drmies (talk) 21:39, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There's a certain irony here about my questioning the nomination. I'm usually the one nominating, and I don't often !vote Keep in other editors' nominations. Not that I'm arguing this article should be kept - I'm just exploring people's reasoning, and I appreciate the responses. I just find some of the most non-notable (in my view) articles are kept, so it's interesting to me to see this article nominated. Maybe it's just a question of who contributes to the discussion and the standards they apply. Enough of my musing. I'll let others contribute and I'll remain on the fence on this one.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep It's true she is only a "research scientist", but her record at Google Scholar is fairly impressive. Several of her articles have been cited more than 100 times. And as noted by Bbb23, some of her work has been noted in major lay publications like the Times of India. I restored the "research interests" section to the article and added references. If she is not yet a thought leader in the field, I think she is on her way there. Maybe it's a little WP:TOOSOON. --MelanieN (talk) 02:07, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Press coverage of her research seems to say that she is notable. BigJim707 (talk) 05:11, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Some editors have been removing the AfD tag. In addition, they have been adding incredible amounts of unsourced and unencylopedic material to the article. Just so others are aware, I have reverted all those changes, with the knowledge that there might be some small amounts of material that are legitimate that are being swept away by my reversions. It is hard to accord good faith to such editors, and it is even harder to plow through the garbage in the hope of finding something appropriate.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:10, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a borderline case, Her work has received at least two bits of reliable media interest; however, the coverage is more about the work she has been involved in than it is about her. Based on the presence of reasonable sources I think the article should be kept. Pol430 talk to me 22:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I'm not finding enough reliable sources at this time. Of the links given, I have to agree with PCR on what they are, although I'd like to mention that the last two links appear to be press releases, which generally cannot be used as reliable sources since PR usually comes directly from the company. Most of what I have found are either press releases or trivial mentions. It seems that other than a bit of press anticipating the site's release, there hasn't been much afterwards to show that it's notable at this point in time. I would recommend incubating or userfying this until more sources become available. It's definitely something to watch for and I believe that it will become notable at some point in time, but there just aren't the reliable sources in the here and now.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:45, 27 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Fails WP:BIO. In the main source for his claim to notability, the NYTimes article[54], he is barely mentioned: "Lindauer, who was a small-fry backer, had a portion of the lower east side." There are no reliable, independent sources who give any significant, indepth information about Lindauer and why he would be notable. Article is mostly based on primary sources. The Brooklyn Eagle source is not about him. His obituary from a local newspaper, quoted at the end of the article, gives a good idea of how notable he was...

This article seems to be written in an advertisement fashion. Much of the information is unsourced and innapropriate. For example, it refers to thoughts he had in first grade. The section on roots contains innapropriate information about favorite colors. He doesn't seem to meet the requirements from WP:PORNBIO. The only notable thing is his suit against the government of Canada but Wikipedia does not keep records of everyone who has filed a suit. Ryan Vesey Review me! 07:31, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The are no third party references to him anywhere, except a couple small media references to the lawsuit, but according to WP:1E, the event should more likely be covered than the person, and I think neither is significant. It's not like he won the lawsuit. Additionally the article does fail WP:PORNBIO (no awards for one thing). Finally, regardless of notability, the article is a mess. Nothing is properly sourced, yet claims are made about thought he had in grade one, and his favourite colour is listed. Millermk90 (talk) 08:14, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod, removed by SPA page creator. From JamesBWatson's original prod: "No evidence of notability. No substantial coverage in any independent sources." MikeWazowski (talk) 03:43, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Explanation?

Could be helpful. As in: How does it violate the Notability guideline? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline

It seems to satisfy all the criteria...

...as does its sister articles: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_clubs_at_Princeton_University Example of other, less-cited and "notable", article on parallel subject: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloister_Inn — Preceding unsigned comment added by YoungLochinvar (talk • contribs) 06:43, 27 December 2011 (UTC) — YoungLochinvar (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep. There are a couple of good articles in the Daily Princetonian.[55] [56] There are also a ton of hits in Google news archives, google books and some in scholar. Most of these appear pretty trivial, but there's enough noise that I've become convinced that there is likely to be sufficient coverage out there. In any case, I think the articles from the Daily Princetonian are enough to make a decent case for meeting the GNG.--Kubigula (talk) 06:13, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was also apparently the first acting gig of Kashinath, who went on to become a very popular actor. Regarding the above, searching in Hindi would be useless since this film is a Kannada film (Hindi is only one of the many languages of India).

Non-game

[edit]

Non-notable invented video game genre based on one line from one speech a Nintendo executive gave in 2005. Tons of Google hits for "non-game", although the vast majority are just to explain things that are literally not games (i.e. "favorite non-game apps" or "non-game usage on PS3"), 10% seems to be about Fish & Wildlife, and the few remaining are blogs and download sites using the phrase in the current context. Seeing as how this article has been up since 2007, it's no surprise that some people have started treating this like a real genre. There are certainly not enough real reliable sources to justify inventing this genre, and the longer it is up, the longer people are going to take it seriously.

Curiously, the article was written first on DE by a German SPA (de:Spezial:Beiträge/Klaus1000) who then translated the article and posted it here, and never touched another thing since 2007. I don't think this really has any bearing, I'm just pointing it out as it seems odd. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 10:58, 18 December 2011 (UTC) ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 10:58, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - While there are certainly concerns about the uniqueness of the term's usage and the reliability of one of the major sources, I believe IGN is a reliable source and uses the term non-game in at least three of its article titles (including the one cited, from 2006). The term is also seen peppered across the Google search including as a category at Games For Work. It's not very popular as a term, but it's unfair to say that a single editor invented it. I say it's notable enough to keep. Theinactivist (talk • contribs) 11:25, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • They use it in many titles (see http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aign.com+intitle%3A%22non-game%22) to refer to things that, as I said, are not games. Square Enix goes non-game - meaning that they are releasing things that aren't games. Read what the Wikipedia article is about, it is about a specific concept, a genre of games without gaming qualities. The articles you mention are simply about things that are not games. We can keep the article as a dictionary definition of an item that is "literally not a game", but I think that is rather what Wikitionary is for. Besides, even if the articles were using the words in this context (which they aren't), using a phrase over and over isn't significant coverage, it's simply repetition. They use the phrase "and then" 2000x more in article titles (http://www.google.com/search?q=site:ign.com+intitle:%22and+then%22), but that doesn't make the word pairing notable. To use the words "non game" together only 54 times in article titles is actually rather low for a video game site, and still they aren't talking about the same thing as the topic of WP's article. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 12:14, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change the fist sentence to read "is software used for entertainment purposes but not considered a game" (or something similar), scrap the dissertation, and use it to describe things that are not games. Are you arguing that "non-game" is a neologism? I thought at first you were just saying it's not notable.Theinactivist (talk • contribs) 21:36, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, I forgot about that word. I am not saying that these types of programs are not existent or not popular or whatever, just that this grouping of these programs with this phrase is an invented genre. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 22:39, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Both awards are collective, The Golden Globe is a special award for the Short Cuts cast, in which she appears to have a less-than-minor role, and I'm not sure we should consider any credited and uncredited actor in the movie as eligible for point 1 of ANYBIO. The Chicago Film Critics Association Award is also a collective, special award to the Cusack family, shared with Dick, Nancy, Ann, Bill, John and Joan Cusack, and the rationale behind the award ("Commitment to Chicago Award") does not seem connected to artistic merits. Cavarrone (talk) 11:21, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    How does a well-known and notable award becomes less well-known or significant if it is shared by others? As any such award is given in recognition of creative efforts, you offer a conundrum. When a notable organization wishes to recognize and award creativity, they award those reponsible... whether one or five. An award is not neccessarily diuted if shared. Or would we now think an Academy Award become less well-known or significant if it is shared? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q.
    The Short Cuts cast probably includes one hundred of actors, many of them don't appear on the screen for more than a couple of minutes or aren't even credited, so are all of them eligible for an article on Wikipedia, are all automatically notable? I sincerely doubt that... an Award does not become less significant in itself if it is shared, but the Award-winning is probably less notable if he/she shares the award with an half hundred of other actors and if his contribution to the award-victory is less than minimal or even nonexistent.
I would not have doubts if Susie Cusack had a significant role in Short Cuts, or if she had been explicitly named between the awared, or at least if the collective award had included a minor number of winners, but under these circumstances I don't think we should consider this Golden Globe in order to estabilish her notability and the notability of anyone else of the hundred of actors that had starred in that movie. Per "common sense". Cavarrone (talk) 20:06, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This artist appears as if he should be notable (especially given that he's quite talented), but I can't find any reliable sources showing that he's yet received any third-party notice. I also can't find any third-party notice of the shows listed in the article. The only references given in the article are not independent.

Google brings up a ton of self-published and non-independent references, but nothing that's independent and reliable. The article doesn't make a good argument for his notability and appears to be mainly promotional. ETA: I should mention that this was a declined A7 speedy (not nominated by me) from about a month ago. NellieBly (talk) 00:50, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Sources exist, but B5 exists in the time period before most of the reviews, etc. are online. My Babylon 5 reference works are currently packed away, but I can find enough to source any of these episodes. Consider what I've documented at Spoo, for instance. Doing a search for online sources for this specific episode, there is this, as well as at least 3 other sources that appear to be behind paywalls or not fully previewable on Google Books. Failing a keep, this may be redirected to a Season 4 article until such time as someone can source it appropriately. Jclemens (talk) 02:32, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - to Season 4 article. I will go toe-to-toe in B5 trivia and lore with anyone, as I watched this show religiously, but at the end of the day it is just a plot rehash. I'll go to the old midwinter archives for that. Tarc (talk) 15:47, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Software package of questionable notability, borderline advertisement. Contested prod. Google news search on "Cookie Stumbler" shows only 5 results, none appear to snow significant coverage from reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:18, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]


I've included two independent reviews in my article. You may not be aware that the majority of reviews in the software business aren't done for free, you tend to have to pay to get a mostly dishonest review that'll be overly positive just because you paid them money. Nothing is free in this business. The two sources I have included are independent, with one being positive about the application and the other being more critical with it and discussing if there's even a need to maintain your cookies. Sorry the app wasn't on CNN newsflash, but if you look here you will see that this application is one out of two applications for Cookie Management that are actually maintained, which definitely makes it significant for the Mac world. WriteIt! Studios's website had ~26000 visitors since it opened in May 2011, so I wouldn't exactly call it "not notable". Also, the Wikipedia article on EverCookies states that these Cookies are a great risk to users and there isn't a universal way of deleting them. This application my article is on can do just that, which I think makes it very notable.

  • Delete - No specific information or relevance given, as well as the fact that this article is an ophan, which leads me to suspect that it is a promotional one. There is some information, which, if it was referenced, could pass as a Stub-class, or even Start-class article. However, there are zero references, so that's out of the question. Until references may be provided, I must favor a deletion. DarthBotto talk•cont 11:33, 03 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
