Delete; notability isn't inherited from some connection to other notable events or people.. To establish notability you really need susbstantial discussion, not a passing mention in a list &c (otherwise we'd have an article for every person in the phone book). bobrayner (talk) 21:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Offspring (series 3)[edit]

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

Too early. An article about a film or TV series shouldn't exist until it has entered production, per WP:NFF. Just because it has been announced that the third season will be created doesn't mean that it actually will be created. —SW— ^gab 23:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A part owner of two minor-league ice hockey teams. If this was baseball, the hockey teams would be a Single-A teams. There is minor news coverage of small quotes of Morelli's. More news coverage of when he sold the Adirondack Frostbite because two ESPN anchors bought the team. (Good timing, the following season the head coach died in a motel room and the team folded). The article's source says he is President, but not CEO of Red Rocket Merchandising. A few sources say Red Rocket has 20ish employees. Old Glory is a subsidiary of Red Rocket. Web site says they have only three stores in Connecticut. They are the retail outlet for Red Rocket. Saybrook Capital Group appears to be a "shell" company. Press releases stopped in 2004 and only deal with buying/selling hockey teams and Old Glory. In the "our team" section, Saybrook's people all worked in Morelli's other companies. All information/references about Morelli in the article comes from one of his companies. Bgwhite (talk) 06:38, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cedar Hills Caledonian Pipe Band[edit]

Contested PROD. Footballer fails WP:NFOOTBALL as he has not played at a fully-professional level of football.

Birchmount Road[edit]

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

Delete - I'll let others decide if they want to redirect it, but I want this salted so that Simon P doesn't "restore and cleanup" it again after several months. Non notable suburban road. Three of the sources are images from the Toronto archives and/or summaries of categorized subject matter (images of roads in the archives are categorized by the road's name, but this imparts zero notability upon the subject). One of the remaining sources is self-published, while the lone straggler is a reliable newspaper article discussing the decline of a neighbourhood which Birchmount serves as the eastern edge to, making passing mention of the subject. Delete, as it does not meet WP:GNG ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 20:32, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I've added some stuff on the recent bike lane controversy, which includes several more good refs. The article could still use some improvements, but most of the content is good. Also, I'm not sure how Transit Toronto is a self-published site. It's a volunteer effort, but well respected. And it certainly involves more than one person. - SimonP (talk) 21:15, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The bike lane controversy is not regarding Birchmount, but the bike lane network and the removal of any lane from anywhere in the city. The current wording is already the maximum extent of what could be said on that subject: They were installed by councillor A, councillor B was elected at next election and removed them, as was the wish of her constituents. Every road with a bike lane has controversy surrounding the bike lane, but that doesn't make every insignificant road through suburban Toronto with a bike lane notable (Brimorton, anyone?). - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 21:42, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as an admin you should certainly know that a self-published source doesn't mean that one person makes it. It means there is no editorial oversight. This is a transit enthusiast website, not oversighted by the city of Toronto. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 21:44, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I just added a new sourced section regarding Parliament legislation due to issues regarding this road. There seems to be enough coverage to pass our notability guidelines. Regarding the claim that Toronto Transport is a "self-published" source, while not the New York Times, it's not published by a "self" and in fact has many writers and it does have editorial control over its content and is considered a reliable source per WP:RS. --Oakshade (talk) 22:17, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That section had nothing to do with the road, and so I've removed it. Lets not puff it up with a bunch of irrelevant and trivial information in hopes that this somehow makes the road notable. Your interpretation of the term "self-published" is appreciated, but is your own opinion and has no connection with the actual policy we follow, WP:SPS. Point me to the page that says they have editors, unless you are just making that up? There is no about us page. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 22:52, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about their masthead where James Bow is listed as the chief editor. - SimonP (talk) 23:21, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Transit Toronto is an information site written and designed by transit enthusiasts for transit enthuasiasts." says enough. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:24, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

After doubting the existence of an about page listing an editor, and denigrating Oakshade's honesty, you're shown an about page listing an editor and this is your response? Don't you think some sort of apology might be in order? - SimonP (talk) 23:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, and I very much doubt Oakshade's "honesty". My assuming good faith has long long long expired on this user. My response is pointing you to the statement on the website that indicates its an enthusiast website, which means its self published. No more reliable than SABRE. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 00:30, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RELIABLESOURCES has no "banning" of sources that are "enthusiast" organizations. As long as the source is independent of the subject and there is editorial oversight (of which your admitted bad faith refused to admit) as this source does, it is considered a reliable source per WP:RS. --Oakshade (talk) 03:03, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing administrator and all participants - The nom has removed an entire sourced section about this road and its impact of events on the road on national legislation. This is a textbook case of removing content and sources establishing notability and then claiming the topic is non-notable. --Oakshade (talk) 22:59, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

...right, except I stated directly below your !vote that I was doing just that, as the content has nothing to do with the road. It has to do with residents whose nearest arterial road is Birchmount. The tracks cross Birchmount and travel north of subdivisions, they do not travel along Birchmount; if that were the case the content would be relevant. Making a bold announcement in an attempt to sabotage my trustworthiness just looks silly, especially when I've made no attempt to hide what I did. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:24, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There is nothing special about Birchmount Road. The references noted above do not denote notability for this road. -- Whpq (talk) 12:58, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, when you have newspapers coming to you to write stories on you based on your prolific edit count... I've also had this intuition. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 02:51, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are being quite nasty and personal about this. What is you problem? Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:35, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Poor editors with poor editing habits that can't properly source the content they add most of the time. Who insist on keeping every quasi-notable topic in a separate article without actually putting effort in to improve those articles (unless there is threat of them going away). Who insist on adding irrelevant or inaccurate information based on Google Maps, and arguing against a person who lives around the corner from these places saying that its misleading to direct people to a place that can't be reached, just because they're next to each other. When you've dealt with it for 6 months, it becomes tiring. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 03:49, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes! But you cannot impose your perfection on others. There should probably be a page listing all the concession roads in the Geographic Township of Scarborough, where similar minor roads could be merged. Nobody seems to be aware that the grid pattern in Scarborough does not match the original Township of York (most recently Toronto, North York, East York and Borough of York), which does not match the Township of Etobicoke either. That blatant ignorance has annoyed me for years. Secondarywaltz (talk) 22:56, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I had created one for all of Toronto, and wasn't opposed to splitting it by some fashion to achieve the final structure... Unfortunately all the road articles, such as this one, were puffed up with a table of pictures and not deleted, making for redundancy. As an off-topic, Scarborough Township was laid out in the same chainage as Pickering, whereas the portion of Toronto between the Humber and Vic Park were laid out in the same grid as York. Etobicoke was surveyed seperately. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ^τ _¢ 23:59, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and WP:BAND—has this artist released more than two songs yet? P.Oxy.2354 (talk) 15:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Artist has released more than 2 records and has credible media sources who have covered his career. Multiple Media outlets will not write articles about an artist who has not done so. If a Wikipedia article is started by someone who is not familiar with wikipedia, that does not mean the subject they are writing about is not credible. I believe many times that mistake is made here on Wikipedia and editors are quick to nominate in "Bad faith" with out proper research. Unfortunately new editors are not familiar with Wikipedia to help build consensus and most articles get deleted by editors who make a sport out of nominating articles even if they are credible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.172.26 (talk) 17:42, 7 July 2011 (UTC) — 74.108.172.26 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete Hasn't hit any chart-hitting records yet. Minima © (talk) 18:23, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Hello everyone, I do agree the person who originally wrote it did not do a very good job. But I was able to establish notability by adding reliable, secondary sources about the topic and researching the topic in multiple search engines including Google.com, Bing.com, and Yahoo.com. I also researched the sites that mention this topic and established they are reliable secondary sources. I helped the topic improve by verifying claims made and I verified all references. I added additional citations for verification and helped improve the topic by adding reliable secondary sources. He is also registered with ASCAP and has several Published works. The topic does meet WP:BAND standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amandamelissa (talk • contribs) 19:52, 9 July 2011 (UTC) — Amandamelissa (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep JF1 has 500,000 views on Myspace 10,000 Twitter followers and 1000 Facebook LIKES and counting, he probably has not even seen this page yet. If he really wanted to, he could post this page on Twitter, Myspace, and Facebook and there would be a flood of keeps..even worse he could contact the Latin press that has covered him and tell them wiki editors don't think their news sites are credible. I have seen one line stubs on wikipedia yet his page is up for deletion. In good faith I say keep. He is notable in the Latin community and if JF1 is trademarked which it is there will be no other JF1, he will be the only one on this site. Is he dubious for being Hispanic? I don't' get it. Some of the sites he has been interviewed by are top Latin music sites and press. Hispanics make up South America, Central America, parts of North America and Europe. If some one like JF1 and the Latin sites listed are discriminated against, everyone who is Latino or Hispanic will hear about it. You will probably make him more notable than you think. In order for you to Delete his page under the reasons stated by editors who voted delete you would have to delete every other page who the same can be said about but is still on Wikipedia. In good faith I say keep. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.237.121.70 (talk) 21:51, 10 July 2011 (UTC) — 207.237.121.70 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment love the hypocrisy in on all of this, how you guys abuse block policies, try to intimidate new users with blocking them, disrupt valid topics and edits if you don't like someone. You don't even know who JF1 is. Its obvious he is not responsible for any socking or even creating this page. You think he can't pay someone to create a wiki page. He does not care about this page because he prob has not even seen it yet. Sooner or later the people at his label will and this will become WikiArizona. He can afford a publicist as stated by Mike Wizowski, but every artist can. I should change my vote...Delete the page I have already taken screen shots of the entire deletion sorting page just in case. And who ever that 207 IP address is thanks for that comment and standing up for what's right!!! I keep taking screen shots of how this comment keeps getting altered. I said Delete because I disagree with everyone who said Delete. The page has been locked for days when everyone who said Delete could have just help fix it. I do not trust Wikipedia consensus and the good faith that was asked for has not been giving in return. Some one will revert this comment again and I will have the screen shots to prove it. The only person who can change a comment is the person who wrote it. If this page is deleted that will not end the argument. I will make sure others know what happened to JF1's Wikipedia page and it will be out of Wikipedia's jurisdiction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.84.172 (talk) 05:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ontario Business Program Guide[edit]

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

This article for the most part is just a guide to the Guide, and is a violation of WP:NOTGUIDE. I looked for coverage of this guide independent of the Government of Ontario, and only found notices that it exists, basically. It doesn't seem to be notable.

Businessperson[edit]

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Theoldsparkle (talk) 19:14, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To expand on my own rationale: as far as I can tell, "businessperson" doesn't mean anything except "a person involved in business," and I don't know what encyclopedic content can be written about that topic (although I'm sure we could put together one heck of a "Businesspeople in popular culture" section!). Even the exceedingly vague description here doesn't seem to encompass the entire potential meaning of the term, and of course there are no references to support this description. I don't know what would be worth merging to any other article. Theoldsparkle (talk) 20:36, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment--could this be merged and redirected into senior management? Meelar (talk) 20:25, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The reason why I'm in favour of keeping this article is that businessman and businesswoman redirect to here; both these words are very commonly used and linked, and it's likely that any person would search these terms. It'd be a shame for Wikipedia if businessman and businesswoman become "red links." Mar4d (talk) 04:03, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The social self-identification of being a "businessperson" surely could support an article. The reception of Sloan Wilson's novel The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit, which was widely referenced in sociological and anthropological literature for a while, is one starting point; another entry would be to distinguisn the difference between businesspeople and entrepreneurs. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:50, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good job Erik.

And to JDDJS: Notable topics that can be improved through regular editing, are not suitable deletion targets simply because the work is pending. I wish to politely remind of WP:Deletion policy and its stating "If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion."

Brandon Register[edit]

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

This article is about a North American football player that does not meet notability. In terms of general notability, there is no significant coverage about him in independent reliable sources to meet notability; there are brief announcements about signings or transactions but these are short mentions. In terms of the sport specific guidelines, he does not appear to meet those for a North American football player. The article asserts he "spent time" with the NFL Washington Redskins but doesn't make it clear what that really means. This report identifies that he was signed as an undrafted free agent,and this item indicates that he was released from training camp before the start of the season. The article also indicates he signed with the Georgia Force of the Arena Football League, however, he ended up playing for the Louisville of the AF2. I can find no evidence he played any regular season games for the Georgia Force, and this article is a little unclear on when he was cut. He then went to the Canadian Football League where he was signed by Saskatchewan, but released before regular season play. If it can be established he played a regular season game in the AFL, then he would meet the inclusion criteria, but I was unable to find any evidence of playing in the AFL.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The Guardian and Daily Mail articles don't do it for me. The DM article is borderline at best. It's not a trivial mention but it reads like they merely reprinted whatever promo materials (including that photo) Liberty Games supplied. There's not even a byline. The publication is certainly reliable, but I don't think this article is. It's impossible to tell if anyone associated with the DM even saw one in person. The Guardian mention is even less useful; it's only a mention on a top 10 list in a blog. Finally, neither of these articles is about Liberty Games; they're both about individual, different products made by Liberty Games, which is just not the same thing. (It's possible for a company to be notable but not its products and vice versa.) I don't think these sources meet WP:GNG, much less the slightly more stringent guidelines at WP:CORPDEPTH that kick in when a commercial interest is involved. Msnicki (talk) 00:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Just a reminder that blogs attached to news outlets are often considered reliable sources per WP:USERG as long as they are written by journalists and given editorial review (which is the case with the Guardian's blog). -- Atama頭 16:35, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but it's not just a blog entry, it's a blog entry that's not even about Liberty Games, nor even about the particular product from Liberty Games mentioned. I read it as more of a joke entry in a list, something the author put in there just to be colorful and clever and even a little outrageous, not to be taken seriously. It certainly wasn't an actual review and there was no indication he even saw or played with the thing himself. A serious blog entry actually about Liberty Games would be different; that's not what this was. Msnicki (talk) 16:54, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. The citations aren't great, and when I suggested this barely squeaks by with notability, I mean that it barely squeaks by. I had the same thoughts as you when judging the sources. Your reason for deletion is valid, I think I just have the bar a bit lower than you. :) -- Atama頭 23:38, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm delighted to see we're on exactly the same page on that point. I had even been thinking about adding a clarifying remark that I totally get why your !vote is that it squeaks by. That's a totally reasonable position. This is a case where a good argument can be made either way. Cheers! Msnicki (talk) 23:56, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The Guardian and the Daily Mail are both big UK newspapers, and T3 is a notable magazine for the industry this company claims to be in.

Delete. The listing is of no value. It has been created by the companies Director and it just a list of things they do. The links are just poor quality press releases and not newsworthy.

~~Weak Delete~~ - This article really tries hard to establish notability, in fact it reads like a promotional brochure instead of an encyclopedia article, focusing on long-winded generalities instead of actual concrete accomplishments, thought it certainly lists those too. There aren't alot of english language sources on this subject, that I could find, but the article does list a few. I want to say it barely passes WP:ARTIST with the awards, solo exhibits in several countries, and his giant sculpture of Laozi, but then almost none of these things that would establish his notability by association are even mentioned on wikipedia elsewhere, and his name is mentioned nowhere else on wikipedia. I'd say this one fits into WP:Semi-notability. If he's had some impact on the world then an article about one of those things he's impacted should mention him. Just not notable enough to merit his own article, or at least the article doesn't establish that he is. Metal.lunchbox (talk) 23:57, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I do not have time for a more careful look at the moment, but it appears that he is usually referred to as "Wu Weishan" (rather than as Weishan Wu"). There are quite a few sources when searching for the "Weishan Wu", e.g. [5] [6],[7],[8][9][10][11][12][13] (although many of these appear to come from Chinese government websites/sources). Nsk92 (talk) 13:24, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The promotion is just starting out, and therefore isn't notable yet by itself, but this first event included numerous notable fighters. Secondary sources are needed, but I am inclined to retain the article. This event seems similar to the Australian events Impact FC 1 and Impact FC 2, which were similarly held by a fledgling promotion, but featured numerous notable fighters right out of the gate. The lack of other promotions in the region makes this one potentially more encyclopedic. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 06:50, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

notable fighters doesn't make it notable, indepth third party coverage does. "The lack of other promotions in the region makes this one potentially more encyclopedic. " does not add to notability at all. LibStar (talk) 13:15, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware that secondary sources are necessary for establishing notability, but substantive coverage is only likely to exist if (a) the promotion is notable or (b) the fighters are notable. By pointing out that the fighters are notable, I was making a case for why people shouldn't assume that no such coverage exists. Notable fighters are a necessary, but not sufficient condition. A quick search turned up the following secondary sources. See also Israel Fight Championship: Genesis Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 17:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is simply not true. There is original independent sourcing by mainstream MMA journalists Jonathan Snowden, Ben Fowlkes, and staff at MMAjunkie.com. See above. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 17:19, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The unknown user who voted Keep is correct when he says this event is as notable as the two Australian events he mentions--they should all be deleted as routine sports coverage. As for "potentially more encyclopedic" I refer you to WP:CRYSTAL. 131.118.229.18 (talk) 15:14, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

* There are also numerous sources available for the two Australian events. Reading those sources was how I knew that these events even took place. MMA events have not been traditionally labeled "routine sports coverage" if the organization or fighters are notable and the articles could be sourced. See Category:Mixed martial arts events for a complete listing of events that have satisfied these criteria. I have used that label in numerous other AfD debates, so I am not opposed to applying it when necessary.

* I think you misunderstood my "potentially more encyclopedic" comment. I was not saying "let's see if this organization becomes notable down the road." I feel that if we ignore what country this event was held in to avoid WP:Bias, then the event is notable based on its notable fighters and independent sourcing. If we take into account what country this event was held in, then it is particularly notable in that very few other events with this level of international interest have been held in the region. The relative infrequency of these sorts of events in a country such as Israel makes reporting on them more than just routine sports coverage. We should consider that international events may receive significant press coverage at home in something other than a debater's native language (which would be unlikely to return gnews hits). We also should be careful not to assume that a fledgling promotion is not notable if it is not in the USA or Japan. Solid cards with notable fighters have been held in places like Israel, Brazil, Abu Dhabi, and Australia. These promotions will likely never have the same reach as the UFC, and will probably only hold a few cards each years, but not being the UFC isn't a criteria supporting deletion.

Keep There seem to be enough sources out there to justify keeping this article. Normally, I'd vote to delete an article like this because it's just routine sports coverage, but there appear to be enough other sources and storylines that the article could be improved and AfD is not the right tool for articles that are salvageable. Papaursa (talk) 03:05, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's important that mma from across the world is represented within wikipedia not just from the USA and Japan. Strong main card involving fighters with UFC experience and ex champions such as Ricco Rodriguez and other well known fighters such Jeff Monson, Frank Trigg and Hermes Franca.

Delete Although there may be some notable fighters in this event, I say delete because the promotion is little known. Maybe as Israel FC grows and becomes sort of a European version of Bellator, then it can warrant an article. If kept, then it sets a precedent that there should be an article for every event that a "notable" fighter fought in. For example, just because notables Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Vladimir Matyushenko fought at UFO: Legend in Tokyo in 2002, doesn't mean it deserves an article.

The result was no consensus. Deletion arguments are persuasive; however, sources have been added since the discussion has begun and enough good faith concerns have been raised on either side to make judging consensus difficult. If in a few months after release the game does not garner any press attention it may be worthwhile to revisit the debate. Protonk (talk) 20:37, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think there's more info out there that could be added to the article. It's just hasn't been added yet. (The article is mere hours old.) I'll try to work on it some... Sergecross73 msg me 19:00, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I've added some more information to the article. The game is receiving significant coverage from many third party references (5+), and has notable game developers from other notable games. I'm sticking with my "keep" comment. Sergecross73 msg me 21:55, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is hardly significant coverage the 5 sources provided have in total 787 words, the sources all basically same the same thing that the game is being produced and that the authors know nothing about the game except that it is a dungeon role playing game. One source gives a wish list of what it hopes the characters can do, two of the sources claim that the game is only 60% complete, and they confirm that there is no release date yet for the game. So how does that meet WP:GNG or WP:CRYSTAL. Mo ainm~Talk 22:26, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit, not a whole lot is known, but still, reliable, third party sources are verifying what is known, there are articles dedicated to it, (not just passing mentions) and it has been officially announced. You're "crystal" issues would be more relevent if we were talking about a game that didn't have a name, or hadn't officially been announced. Neither of those are true here. Sergecross73 msg me 00:10, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep For games recently announced, having coverage from different 3rd party sources will be slim. If it was just announced within this week or so, then this is expected. A month or so, there should be a bit more. Not exactly in need of deletion but definitely in need of work. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 23:30, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that "it exists", and that this fact has been commented on by multiple secondary/tertiary sources, does not make it notable. There should be sources which have significant coverage of the game, which is impossible given how new the game is. The fact that it is also "to be released" without even an estimate of "when" also leans me toward citing WP:Crystal, as the OP has. As such, I think it should be deleted, with no prejudice toward recreation, or to moving it into userspace for now. I think the latter of the two would be best. --Izno (talk) 00:33, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not citing "exists" i'm citing notability, there is no Wikipedia placed cap for what is significant coverage, i'm using common sense in that it is a newly announced title, nevertheless a new IP. A quick google search shows a few sources [21] [22] actually do cover the game more thoroughly than the article does and have commentary about the game. But if the closing admin doesn't take that into consideration, userspacing is a fine alternative to deleting. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 03:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But all the sources are saying is that this game exists, this in no way is significant coverage that "address the subject directly in detail". Mo ainm~Talk 08:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contrary to what Subzerosmokerain evidently thinks, saying "For games recently announced, having coverage from different 3rd party sources will be slim" is not a reason for keeping. If there is no substantial coverage in independent sources then it does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria, whatever the reason for the lack of such sources. If and when there is substantial coverage in third party reliable sources then it will be suitable for an article. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:44, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at his second post, I think what he was trying to say is that "significant" and "in-detail" are both subjective terms. I look at the five independent sources and say "that's significant". You look at the same thing and say it's not. It depends on interpretation... Sergecross73 msg me 12:44, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is nothing to do with what I was saying. I was not saying anything at all about whether or not the coverage was significant. I was simply explaining that if there is no substantial coverage there is no notability by Wikipedia's standards, whether or not the lack of such coverage is due to the game being "recently announced". JamesBWatson (talk) 11:26, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It just seemed like you were trying to discount him altogether, when he made two points, one invalid (the one you're talking about) and one valid point (the one I'm arguing in this debate.) Sergecross73 msg me 14:26, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, the only thing in contest in the WP:GNG criteria is coverage, in which WP:N states as, ...sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material. Each source falls under more than a trivial mention for Beyond the Labyrinth as well as enough detail for a newly announced title; it's only a matter of deciding on whether or not five is enough for this article and since WP:N hasn't set a precedent, it's up to us to decide. Five is enough to me, but the article would benefit greatly from more research. Sincerely Subzerosmokerain (talk) 15:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The sources, notability aside, say the game is in production and none of them know anything about the game itself or when it will be released, in future this game will more than likely be notable but at present it is far from it. Mo ainm~Talk 14:39, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have looked at all of the sources, and none of them gives substantial coverage. The reliability of the sources is also doubtful (one of them is a blog, for example). JamesBWatson (talk) 11:44, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - when is the distribution method cause to immediately dismiss something? None of these are first-party blogs, each is considered either reliable or situational per Wikiproject Video games. I'm not saying a particular blog post is reliable as it must be established by author, but it seems you're dismissing them (there are multiple sites that use blogs here) as unreliable due to the way the site is laid out. --Teancum (talk) 12:25, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to tri-Ace. Not really that notable. Not much is known about it, and a real article can not be written at this time. Until then, maybe merge the information to the developer's article. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 15:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Merge to tri-Ace. I see several independent, reliable VG sources, with non-trivial coverage. That satisfies WP:GNG as far as notability goes, even if the article is a stub. However, as there is little content available, I believe the material is best presented in the developer's article until game's preview/release. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:40, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Government of National Salvation (Serbia)[edit]

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

The article is a texbook WP:POVFORK from the Nedić's Serbia article. It was created at this time, without consensus, to prejudice this ongoing discussion on Talk:Nedić's Serbia regarding the subject and title of that article by creating a POVFORK that separates those aspects the user wishes to exclude from the it. It should be noted that the user's disruptive behavior effectively bypasses and disregards all participants and their points of view (essentially derailing the discussion). The user is openly threatening to create more POVFORKS [23]. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 10:10, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not WP:POVFORK. Nedić's Serbia article speaks about county while Government of National Salvation (Serbia) speaks about one of its governments, in the same way as we have articles Serbia and Government of Serbia. Besides that, content of Government of National Salvation (Serbia) article is completely new and it is not copy of anything that could be found in Nedić's Serbia article. Also, my behavior is not disruptive. It is User:DIREKTOR who was blocked as many as 8 times because of revert warring: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3ADIREKTOR (I do not think that user who was blocked so many times have right to accuse me for disruptive behavior). I really do not understand why he trying to annihilate this new article that I created. And how exactly I "threatening to create more POVFORKS"??? I simply informed other users that I will create another article, so that empty link that I included into article is not deleted by somebody before I create appropriate article. There is no evidence that second article that I created is POVFORK or that I "threatened" to somebody. This is clear example of personal insult towards me that came from 8 times blocked user:DIREKTOR. PANONIAN 10:20, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whether the "country" PANONIAN is talking about existed or not, i.e. whether it was synonymous with the government itself, is exactly the subject being discussed. The user simply created a non-consensus WP:POVFORK, separating them and effectively "creating" a country from a civil government with in a German WWII Military Administration. At a stroke the user "solved" the issue for us all - knowing full well his position is opposed and disputed. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 10:27, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Country" or "occupied territory", whatever. You may use definition that you like, but it is not disputed that Nedić's Serbia article speaks about "country/territory" and not about government of that "country/territory". Here is evidence that Nedić's Serbia article was created by user:FrontLine in 2 May 2006 as an article about "nazi puppet state", not about "its government": http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nedi%C4%87%27s_Serbia&oldid=51137486 There is no single evidence that name of this country/territory is "synonymous with the government itself" - this claim is personal POV introduced solely by user:DIREKTOR and I challenge DIREKTOR to provide one single source that would confirm that "name of this country/territory is synonymous with the government itself". So far, we did not a saw a single evidence or source that would support his claims and only "evidence" that we have is his rhetorical repetition of same unsourced statements over and over on various talk pages. Also, I created an new article, so what kind of consensus I would need for creation of new articles? Creation on new articles is completely free for all users and consensus was never needed for that (How to reach consensus about something that does not exist yet?). PANONIAN 10:50, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As a content fork. (Redirection is also possible if that is a plausible name.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:06, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quotation from content fork: "A content fork is the creation of multiple separate articles all treating the same subject". Now, would you be so kind to explain how one state and its government are same subjects? Should we then delete all other articles about country governments, such as Government of Germany, Government of China, Government of Zambia, etc? Also, here are sources that mentioned WW2 Serbia as puppet state: Source 1: "satellite state of Serbia", Source 2: "The other puppet state, Serbia", Source 3: "German rump state of Serbia", Source 4: "puppet state of serbia". Clearly, it was a state, not "only government". States and governments are two different subjects and Wikipedia have numerous separate articles about state governments, so I do not see why this case should be different. Also, WW2 Serbia had two governments (here is article about first one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissary_Government ) and, although, term "Nedić's Serbia" derived from the name of president of second government, this term in fact covers periods of administration of both governments in literature. Problem with this is that name of parent article about puppet state might not be best solution, but anyway, that article speak about state itself, while article "Government of National Salvation (Serbia)" speaks about government only and it is made in accordance with other government articles, focusing only on list of ministers from the government. This subject is not covered at all in "Nedić's Serbia" article because I translated this list of ministers by myself from source that is provided in the "References" section of the article.

  - You do not know my motives, so please do not make your assumptions about them. I explained myself and I have no reason to repeat that. However, this is important question: do you want to delete this article because of its content or because of its title? If only title is problem then article could be easily renamed to List of ministers in the Government of National Salvation (Serbia). I will repeat that content of this article is something that I translated by myself from published source and it does not exist anywhere else in Wikipedia. Therefore, there is no single evidence that article content represents any kind of "CONTENTFORK". As I see, accusations for contentfork raised by DIREKTOR are related to article title due to weird idea of this user that WW2 puppet state and its government are one same thing. But, article about WW2 puppet state of Serbia clearly does not contain a list of ministers in the government. So, if only title is problem to DIREKTOR then I do not understand why he opened an deletion proposal instead renaming proposal. I really would like to know what DIREKTOR would like to do with this list of ministers? Just to delete it all? PANONIAN 15:30, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is under construction, as part of agreement on Talk:Nedić's Serbia. Lets keep this until all of us find some solution. It will be easily deleted, but i also dont find it as POV fork. Nedić's Serbia article should be fixed also. --WhiteWriter ^speaks 11:33, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:BIO. The lede sentence and para should make a direct claim to notability that is supported by reliable sources that are independent of the subject. What is the claim to notability here? That he is a fight promoter and or a rep for some fight promo group? The sources supporting this uninteresting claim then can't be from that same fight promo group. Nor can it be from a blog-site (fightmag.net) that appears to closely affiliated with the same group but it is hard to tell as there is no publication information such as the publisher or an address or a phone number. Hardly a WP:RS. One site is a major sponsor of the other; it's hard to tell which way, though. Another point; some of the recent "references" added to the article are deceptive. They claim to be from a reliable source in the citation, yet the URL points back to fightmag.net which is not reliable. The West Australian and the second Community Newspaper ref are deceptively crafted in this manner. The first International Kickboxer reference is also similarly deceptively crafted.

I see what you mean about the articles really being at fightmag.net, which is a partner of the WKN and hence can't be considered an independent source. I do feel the sourcing was deceptively stated. My keep vote was based on his 2 bronze medals at the IFMA world championships. Even though those are amateur competitions I still think they're grounds for notability. My concern now is verifying those achievements--his name doesn't appear at the IFMA web site and their link to those older championships doesn't work.

Weak keep. Article did not explain her notability, but (after doing some research and editing the article) I think she meets the criteria, albeit marginally. Local politicians aren't generally notable under WP:BIO, but Haynes has gotten a lot of ink in her many years in a big city's government, and she was the first African American woman on Denver's City Council. The article as I found it needed a lot of work, and I didn't do nearly all that was needed. --Orlady (talk) 19:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. "an aide to two mayors" does not suffice for notability. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:30, 28 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Comment. At the time of the AfD nomination, the lead described her as "chief community engagement officer for Denver Public Schools," which is definitely not a notable status (even if you consider that her first boss there is now a U.S. Senator -- notability is not inherited). When I first saw the article (before I did some searching), I thought it was an obvious "delete." I edited the lead, and I agree that "aide to two mayors" also is not a stand-alone indication of notability. I was thinking more in terms of "first African American woman on Denver's City Council" (not currently in the lead) being the strongest indicator of notability, in combination with being "aide to two mayors" (one of whom became a Cabinet Secretary and the other of whom became governor -- notability is not inherited, but connections to powerful people do make a person influential), 12 years (I think) on Denver City Council including two years as its president, and other public roles. There is a lot of reliable-source material out there identifying Haynes as an important mover in Denver and Colorado public affairs, although no single attribute is an indicator of notability. --Orlady (talk) 13:57, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a first African American woman on a local council may have sufficed long ago, but it is no longer notable in and of itself. African Americans and women have already "broken the barriers" for the highest local political offices long ago. Being an aide doesn't count either. Agricola44 (talk) 15:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC).[reply]

List of Chuggington characters[edit]

Keep. This page was prodded at 04:47, 6 July 2011 by User:207.255.69.226 as "Nonnotable. What little information may be considered notable is also found at Chuggington.", but there is much info in this article which is not in article Chuggington; I changed the prodding to an AfD to get it properly discussed. As regards whether or not this info is noteworthy :: often one man's cruft or trivia is another man's important relevant matter: e.g. I have no interest in football, but I do not go around deleting football articles. Some people want this information; Star Trek and Star Wars and Pokemon and Harry Potter etc each has its own wiki for neutral non-advertisory third-party information about its scenario and characters, but the Chuggington series does not.

Speedy keep The Chuggington article only covers the three main characters. Better to have a list of recurring characters than an individual article for each one as would be found on a fan wiki. --Canley (talk) 01:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The list is an unnecessary split of Chuggington, which has an article size of 11 KB, below the recommended article size to justify the split of plot-only content. The list, as a stand-alone list topic, does not meet the criteria of notability for stand-alone lists as the list topic has not been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources and all that is provided in the article are primary sources. Without providing real-world context reception or significance, the list of characters is a plot-only description of a fictional work, so the list falls into what Wikipedia is not, not suitable for the criteria of appropriate topics for lists. As the fictional characters do not have relevance beyond the TV series, the article should be deleted. Jfgslo (talk) 15:36, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Colonial Colleges[edit]

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

Non-notable topic: does not satisfy WP:N. There's only 1 document referring to colleges founded during the American Colonial Period as "Colonial Colleges," an encyclopedia entry from the 1920s. Since then, there hasn't been any discussion about these schools as a group. Note that "Colonial Colleges" are not in any way affiliated with each other. There's no unifying tradition among them. It's just a list without any real meaning. GrapedApe (talk) 04:09, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is a highly significant and worthwhile list, extremely useful for the history of higher education in the United States, and the intellectual, academic, social and political history of the United States generally.

Finish Ticket[edit]

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

I've undeleted this article per a request at WP:REFUND because the deleting admin didn't make it clear as to whether or not he was deleting as an A7 or as an uncontested PROD. The article has 2 sources that may or may not be reliable and I think that needs to be decided here. Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:54, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am the article's creator and would like to keep the page. According to WP:BAND, a band is notable if it meets at least one of twelve criteria. When Finish Ticket won the local band contest to open the Not So Silent Night concert in San Francisco in 2010, they established themselves as the most prominent "bay area" band. This is more than enough to establish them as the most prominent band in the local scene of Alameda, California. Thus they meet the criteria: "7. Has won or placed in a major music competition." and "8. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city." As for verification, the band's notability was covered by East Bay Express, an established newspaper, and in an article on the website of KITS, an established radio network. Both articles are cited on the Finish Ticket page. Bwallace722 (talk) 01:53, 6 July 2011 (UTC) — Bwallace722 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete A local talent contest does not equate to a major music competition, and opening a concert run by a local radio station does not make them the most prominent representative of the Almeda music scene. The East Bay Express is a local tabloid with a circulation of less than 100,000, and Live 105 (KITS) radio is, again, local interest only; neither makes for a good RS.

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league.' PROD was contested on the grounds that he has played in the Regionalliga, and that he is part of Hertha's Bundesliga squad. As the Regionalliga is not fully pro, playing in it is insufficient to grant notability, and as he has not actually played for Hertha, his being part of the squad is not relevant.

The first of those is a mere list of projects, produced by the relevant government department. It is neither substantial coverage nor an independent source. The second is an environmental assessment report for the project, commissioned by the government. It is certainly not an independent source. The full and complete text of the paragraph cited is "Positive effects will result from improvements in power system efficiency: the transmission system efficiency improvements will result in energy savings of at least 171,000 MWh per year, with corresponding GHG emissions reduction estimated to be 68,400 tons CO2-equivalent per year. The Project will reduce reliance on captive diesel-fired power generation units used by industrial and commercial facilities. Railway electrification will be expanded from the western Assam border at Srirampur to Guwahati, further reducing diesel fuel consumption." Scarcely substantial coverage. The third is an announcement of the plan in what looks like a press release, and in any case is not substantial coverage. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:08, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, but incorporate relevant information other articles The lack of links makes this article a bit difficult to follow, but as far as I can tell from online maps, this is an about 600 km long section of railway which is being electrified. In general, electrification projects such as this are not notable for an article. However, mention, even with some detail, is absolutely encouraged in the article about the affected lines. If this is part of a country-wide program to electrify railways, such a program might also be worth of an article (but such a program would have to cover many lines). Another alternative is to create an article something like the featured timeline of railway electrification in Norway for India. Arsenikk ^(talk) 11:36, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"He will obviously be a star" is WP:CRYSTAL. A few years ago a guy called Jamie Richards was linked to a whole host of top clubs, including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, and he received the same sort of tabloid coverage. Should he get an article based on that? Of course not. Argyle 4 Life^talk 14:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notable I would argue that he passes WP:GNG due to extent of coverage in mainstream press in UK, Brazil and elsewhere. WP:Footy expressly allows youth players that meet wider WP:GNG criteria. Deserter1 (talk) 13:33, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ROUTINE coverage like this doesn't make someone notable. What is achieved in their youth doesn't make them notable and neither does being compared to someone else by journalists who has actually played at a fully professional level. Argyle 4 Life^talk 14:52, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those comments related to the three references I suggested above, rather than those in the article. I have now incorporated these references in the article.

Thanks for improving the article, but it still doesn't meet GNG in my opinion - where is the "significant coverage"? Giant Snowman 22:53, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG says that: "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention". A number of independent, reliable sources like BBC Sport, The Guardian, The Telegraph and others have written features article specifically on the player, with his name in the headline, not just noting a multi-million pound international transfer move and his awards at youth international level, but also discussing in some depth the motivations behind the purchase and the player's potential to become the first Brazilian striker to excel in one of the world's best leagues. I interpret this as significant rather than trivial or routine coverage. Deserter1 23:53, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Of the five references currently in the article, four of them are routine transfer news and/or profiles about young Brazilians as a whole. Only one (the BBC piece) counts as "signigicant coverage." Giant Snowman 12:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It might be helpful to clarify that despite the headline, The Telegraph article [29] is not actually about young Brazilian players in general; 90% of the 1000 word plus article focuses on Piazon. Deserter1 13:24, 11 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As well as lacking inline citations, the evidence provided in the linked articles is completely speculative. There is no actual evidence that a motorway number was even considered (the linked documentation gives the legend "A13 / M13") and no documentation to how the motorway would have bypassed Southend has been found.

Keep. Pathetic Motorways and CBRD are both good third-party sources of information. They base their research on actual official documentation released at the time and it is far from speculative. Yes, there's a question mark over whether they were planning to call it the A13 or M13, but lack of certainty over an article title is not in itself ground for deletion. There might be a case for merging all the London Ringway articles together, but certainly not deletion. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 09:40, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks for your support for CBRD / PM. For what it's worth, I have seen some of the documentation used in their research and can absolutely vouch for its authenticity. However, in this case, I also know that the mention of the M13 and its proposed route comes from a single drawing showing only part of a route, marked up as part of a general set of ideas for proposed routes to the airport at Maplin Sands. By contrast, look at something like the northern (unbuilt) section of the M23, which as well as appearing in official documentation over numerous years, also appears as "projected" on commercial road atlases and its route can be inferred by looking at the age of buildings along it (which were only constructed after the DfT finally sold the land c. 1995). I guess the question would be - does one off-hand comment in a file make it notable enough to appear as an article in its own right? --Ritchie333 (talk) 11:24, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I'm unsure whether this is notable enough to sustain an article or not. Anyone with access to The Times digital archives (most UK library cards give this) will find info there on the proposals. Would suggest Hansard may also prove a fruitful place to search. The White Paper was published on 23 July 1973, so we've got a base point to look from. The "Say no to Maplin" campaign mentioned in one of the two "sources" (they really should be inline citations) was going by December 1973.

Hansard was a good bet in one sense - this gives some good information on the Ringway proposal as a whole, but there doesn't seem to be anything on the individual components, either M13 or M12. Maybe a grouped article would be more benficial? Alzarian16 (talk) 18:05, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

        That's an opinion that was raised on an unrelated noticeboard over two years ago, and never followed up. For what it's worth, Pathetic Motorways does contain a mixture of fact and opinion/pedantry, but it is quite clear which is which. The only argument I saw against PM's reliability was about opinions on what constitutes a "pathetic" motorway and whether a slip road off the M65 counts as the "Walton Summit Motorway", but provided you do the job correctly and separate fact from opinion in secondary sources (same as you do for mainstream newspapers), that's not an issue.

Powiat bielski[edit]

(a)DAB page with only 2 entries, (b)Existing DAB links at the top of each listed page, (c)Bielski DAB page already has the entries for both pages, and (d) per established WPP nomenclature, County is used instead of Powiat in article names. Ajh1492 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Poland-related deletion discussions. —Ajh1492 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well yes, but the Polish names with "powiat" redirect to the corresponding "county" articles, and in this case it happens that one "powiat" title can correspond to either of two "county" titles; neither of them seems especially primary over the other, so the two-entry dab page seems the most convenient solution. It could be redirected to Bielski, but that would just make a bit of extra trouble for anyone entering "powiat bielski" into the search box, and I don't see the benefit.--Kotniski (talk) 16:29, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just wonder what the chances are that someone would search on powiat bielsk on EN:WP... Just saying that if we're using county instead of powiat (which I don't disagree with), then we need to consistently use it across EN:WP. I thought two-entry dab pages were frowned upon and instead to use dab headers on the pages. Ajh1492 (talk) 18:28, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They're frowned upon only if one of the two items can reasonably be considered a primary topic. In this case I think it would be misleading to suggest that powiat bielski refers primarily to one of these counties rather than the other. If there's no primary topic, then two-entry dab pages are quite OK.--Kotniski (talk) 09:34, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with Kotniski, this is a valid disambiguation of two entities that happen to have different names in English, but the same name in Polish. There's no reason to assume no one will ever search by the Polish name. — Kpalion^(talk) 16:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't see the need for the page especially since (1) the Counties have distinct names in English, (2) Each page does have DAB links at the top already, (3) there's a DBA page for Bielski which includes the two counties and (4) the fact that we're using County instead of Powiat as an article naming convention. I just don't see the need for the article name in Polish on English WP. Ajh1492 (talk) 17:00, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I also think PL:WP itself is wrong because if you go to the official websites of the two powiats, one refers to itself as [30] the other as [[31]] - so the confusion seems to be coming from PL:WP. I really think we out to reduce the confusing situation by following the lead of the powiats themselves and delete this DAB page - or create a 'Powiat bielsko redirect page to Bielsko County and turn this one into a redirect to Bielsk County and keep the DAB links at the top of the two articles.

Keep This article does not seem to be highly promotional, It is just like any other video game page on Wikipedia. As for the sources I do agree that as of right now there is not a sufficient amount of reliable sources, but this page can be salvaged because there are sources that provide the information necessary.--Ahenry32 (talk) 03:21, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So you say that there are not enough sources provided, but that we should keep on the basis of hypothetical sources which are not cited in the article, and which you don't provide? Unfortunately, that is not good enough. In order to justify keeping an article it is necessary to show that there are sources, not just to suggest that there are some, but not say what or where they are. As for "it is just like any other video game page on Wikipedia", you may like to read WP:OTHERSTUFF. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:22, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The English name of the game does indeed have little coverage. But if you search for QQ飞车 (QQ Speed), there is plenty of independent coverage [32], for example review in Sina.com [33] (links at the bottom of the article have additional coverage), etc. Another Chinese company even made plastic toys from the car models to cash in on their popularity, it seems [34].

Cody Arens[edit]

Article has continued for several years with only the anyone-can-edit IMDB as sole reference. A reader would not really know whether this person actually existed or not. And even with that, whether these appearances, if true, are truly "notable." They don't seem to be recorded anywhere else but in the self-edited IMDB.

Comment There does appear to be an actor with this name. There's a review for the movie Riding with Boys in Cars in the New York Times that mentions him. An actor of that name also appears in the review for TV movie Plainsong. Looks like he's also mentioned in the Variety review of Dragon Wars. A reference for the Young Artist Award is here. Not too sure about notability but he does look to be real. Ka Faraq Gatri (talk) 17:51, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A quick Google Archive search turns up that he is obviously a real person and working actor.. I personally don't have the time or inclination to rewrite his page right now, but from what I see, between mentions of his roles in The New York Times, appearing on The Late Show with David Letterman, and winning a Young Artist Award, I'd say there's enough evidence that he's real and notable enough to have a page here.

Comment. Granted he is real. Can we talk notability? He is a voice in a cartoon. The only voice I can remember (from the old days) was Mel Blanc. Nowdays they often use the voices of people who are already notable/famous. Cody is not Mel Blanc, a man of many voices and cartoons. And he does not appear to be yet famous from appearing in other films. He is just one of many unknown people that supply "voices" to cartoon characters. Pick the last cartoon you watched. How many "voices" can you remember by name (that weren't already notable actors or actresses?)? There are no voice "specialists" that are known to the general public anymore. And there were only one or two, even in the old days. Student7 (talk) 12:48, 30 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Some of his recent roles have been "voice" roles, but he's clearly also been an actor in films and television. If notability was only measured by an actor's most recent role then we would also delete any actor who has left show business, died, etc. --- Crakkerjakk (talk) 01:06, 1 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion / question. LibStar, the conventional distinctions between upper- and lowercase within English are of course no more than conventions; yet the reader of a language is assisted by the adherence of its orthography to conventions, no matter how arbitrary these may be. So when you are writing AfDs (as opposed to, say, avant-garde poetry), do please use a capital to start any sentence. ¶ Now, what is all this stuff about "3 people"? As a participant in AfD/Robert McFarlane (photographer), AfD/Candid Camera (Australian photographic exhibition) and AfD/Katrina Patchett (all started by you), would I be one of these "3 people"? Others too are sure to have similar questions. -- Hoary (talk) 04:40, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tyne O'Connell[edit]

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

Fails notability, and WP:AUTHOR, lacks real sources. A long-standing article whose content has been maintained by a series of SPEs, it appears to be a blatant promotion page for a 3rd-tier author. The article provides no biographical reliable sources, merely some weakly referenced pull quotes and links to some non-biographical sources that assert publication in national magazines. As a typical author promotion page, it of course includes the words "best selling", but I find no evidence of her ever having a best seller on any list. Current sales rank on Amazon and BN for random title is abysmal at best (high 6 figures) and the very few reviews are, ummm, "bi-modal", with some scathing reviews and glowing reviews by reviewers who happen to have only reviewed Tyne O'Connell books (single purpose reviewers). I've found a few reviews of her books in the British press, trending towards dismissive and derisive ("a repellent piece of fiction, albeit mildly amusing in parts"). She did get a couple good reviews in School Library Journal, which aggregates non-authoritive reviews, mostly from school libriarians. (She also got ripped in others). In summary, non-notable.

~~Delete~~ Quality of work is no indicator of notability (she could be the worst author on the planet and still have enough coverage to make her worthy of inclusion), but decent sources do seem to be thin on the ground. The Telegraph meets RS, but four sentences is hardly substantial coverage. Delete as non-notable. Yunshui (talk) 07:28, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change vote to Keep Having done a bit more reserach and stripped out the unsourced puffery in the article, I think this maybe could be kept. Many of her books have been reviewed by notable sources such as The Telegraph and The Independent, which sort of satisfies requirement 3 of WP:AUTHOR. Keep, with room for improvement.

Keep - per WP:AUTHOR --BabbaQ (talk) 17:23, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

More Than Life (band)[edit]

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

No evidence that band meets WP:MUSIC, does not appear to be signed to a notable label. I can find no significant coverage in WP:RS, claim of touring with other bands does not appear to grant notability per WP:CONCERT. Kinu ^t/_c 22:48, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Maybe at a later date, but one is an interview and the other, no matter how effusive, describes itself as an "introduction" to the band, which I feel undercuts the notability as much as it might support it. Also agree with reasons given in the nomination. ‡ MAHEWA ‡ • talk 01:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Whitney (financier)[edit]

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

Non notable. Vanilla Latte Boy (talk) 19:28, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Richard Whitney was a major Wall Street figure during the Depression, and his embezzlement conviction was very big news at the time. The article is well-referenced. CNN compared him to Bernie Madoff 70 years earlier. A movie was made about him. Why does the nominator judge him "non notable"? Cullen328 (talk) 04:38, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This AfD nomination is pretty much the only thing that Vanilla Latte Boy has done on Wikipedia. It seems a bit strange to me. Cullen328 (talk) 04:41, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - Article was already referenced with reliable sources that clearly establishes notability at the time of nomination. -- Whpq (talk) 13:08, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Obviously notable per the general notability guideline. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:20, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep, obviously notable. Even if you were to disregard his historical role in the 1929 crash and the embezzlement conviction, the references available clearly meet WP:GNG - frankie (talk) 14:53, 7 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - President of the New York Stock Exchange... We're done. Carrite (talk) 14:19, 9 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
