- Delete and do not transwiki – producing a good algorithm for matrix inversion (with high precision and good stability for ill-conditioned matrices) is a notoriously difficult problem. The code I see here gives me no reason for confidence. Good and thoroughly tested algorithms are freely available (see LAPACK++; use LUFactorizeIP followed by LaLUInverseIP); they are considerably more complex than what we have here. --Lambiam 00:00, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nominating this at AFD because the subject list of fictional salespeople is non-notable. I highly double you will find significant coverage of the subject in secondary sources. As such it fails WP:GNG. Jay Σεβαστόςdiscuss 23:30, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it's just an index of notable fictional characters by their occupation; see Category:Lists of fictional characters by occupation for others. This shouldn't be controversial. The "subject" "list of fictional salespeople" doesn't have to be notable for the list to be valid, because lists do not have to be notable as lists. As an occupation in fiction, sales is a common choice to depict mundane or desperate lives (e.g., Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman, Al Bundy in Married...with Children, any of the characters in Glengarry Glen Ross). Which some might characterize as an argument instead for some kind of salesmen in fiction article (maybe that should also exist), but as long as we have articles on notable fictional characters, indexing them by their depicted occupation is a perfectly reasonable use of lists, particularly for occupations that have been significant themes in fiction. postdlf (talk) 00:50, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep (article creator). There has been a great deal of discussion of this in the past, most substantively on 3 Jan 2007, when lists of fictional psychiatrists, witches, doctors, British Prime Ministers, and postal employees were retained, though the List of fictional xenoarchaeologists was deleted. I know about [[OTHERSTUFF...]], but believe that the reasons advanced there apply here as well. I would also like to quote AndyJones:
- Strong Keep Good list: nothing indescriminate or unmaintainable about it. And now that I've got to the bottom of this list, may I just add how downright angry I am that some <personal attack removed> could possibly look at the VAST amount of mostly good quality work done by literally hundreds of wikipedians in the articles covered by this mass nomination, then could demonstrate so much contempt for them, and for the project, that he or she would even think of attempting to destroy it all.

- Keep I too doubt that any 'List of xxx' will attract much in the way of ghits as such. It does depend on the notability of xxx. And as xxx = sales people here, it should stay.

- Keep per Matchup (article creator), and whatever that Likely / Previous Outcomes page is called. Anarchangel (talk) 02:30, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Right. You are thinking of WP:Common outcomes, where it says "Lists and categories have different uses, and lists nominated for deletion because they have overlapping categories are often kept." and "Lists are generally kept if they are limited in scope, are based upon concrete criteria for inclusion, have verifiable content, and have a logical reason for their construction." --MelanieN (talk) 16:11, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, redundant to a self-maintaining category. Stifle (talk) 16:07, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- A category is infeasible here, as many of the salespeople on the list do not have their own articles. Not because they're not notable, but because their existence is so closely linked to the works of fiction in which they appear that there is no point in giving them independent articles. Matchups 14:40, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete too broad of a criteria for inclusion leads to sloppy and ill-defined lists, per WP:SALAT. Just because all of the characters on the list are notable doesn't mean that their intersection as fictional salespeople is notable. ThemFromSpace 03:44, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with WP:SALAT's statement that "Lists that are too general or too broad in scope have little value, unless they are split into sections." But that is an argument only for good management of the article, not for deletion. I appreciate your concern for its quality, but believe that with only thirteen entries, it is not yet ready for any form of subdivision. Matchups 14:40, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete WP:SALAT is correct that lists that are too broad in scope lead to ill-defined lists and are a sign of an indiscriminate grouping, which is what wikipedia is not. Just for example, many sitcoms have storylines where a character undertakes to sell something in some sort of scheme. Should they be in this list? Lots of characters in movies, books, and television will interact with a salesperson where little more is known than their name and what they sell. Should they be in this list? It's too indiscriminate. Shooterwalker (talk) 03:42, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep There is absolutely no reason to delete this article, and I really don't understand people's arguments for doing so. It's an excellent companion to the several dozen similar articles found at "Category:Lists of fictional characters by occupation", and "salespeople" is no more "general or broad in scope" than any of the other occupations listed there. Although less than a week-old, this list is a good solid beginning, and many more names could be added to it (I just added two myself). --MelanieN (talk) 03:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference given does not assert why the subject is significant. Very hard to find non-false positives with regards to other references but it seems likely from what I've had a look at that there is hardly any significant secondary source coverage.

Non-notable and confused Johnfos (talk) 23:16, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Confused, yes... but that just means it needs a cleanup, right? Notability I'm not sure about, but the idea of comparing radiation exposure to bananas seems to be a growing meme, judging by Google News and Web searches for radioactive banana. It seems to be current because it is bandied about on a few blogs and discussion boards in relation to the Japanese nuclear power plant problem. But, perhaps it could be merged into Banana, or Ionizing radiation units? What's the usual thing to do for confusing memes that blur hard science and soft media? PeteSF (talk) 23:41, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep, incoherent rationale, well-sourced article. Non-notable has no meaning here, since it meets the standards of sourcing and so on. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 00:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not so sure it's well-sourced. The only source for the actual value of the "banana equivalent dose" of 0.1 μSv is a PDF from the University of Nevada Reno Environmental Health and Safety, which cites Bowes & Church's Food Values of Portions Commonly Used and Chart of the Nuclides, neither of which appear to be sources specifically on health physics, and they don't show how their result was derived from those sources. -- Afiler (talk) 00:39, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Reading back through the history (I'd read it several days ago and wondered at the changes) it appears to have progressively lost details, including derivation, and gained quibbles, caveats, and contentiousness in bold letters. I think we'd be better off with the version of around 15 March. -- Charlie (Colorado) (talk) 02:35, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Please keep this article. As a former nuclear physicist, I often quote this article for people to put radioactivity levels into context they can relate to and understand. Danellicus (talk) 00:20, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep, quick web search turns up many notable uses of the phrase in the media: [1][2][3][4] As the last link indicates, it's not a very good unit of measure: not only is there no 'reference banana', but the actual effects are debatable, making it a squishy unit of measure. This doesn't mean it's not notable, though, as it appears to be talked about more than enough to make it notable. Pro crast in a tor (talk) 01:00, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per above, there seems to be plenty of evidence of notability. 'Confused' is hardly a criteria for deletion Bfigura (talk) 02:14, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I am not convinced it's more than borderline notable, but that's more than enough for such a useful little gem of an article that fills an important gap in the reference literature. Hans Adler 02:19, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep. If it needs a rewrite it should be rewritten, but when it first started to be referenced it was fairly clear, with a nice straightforward example of how one works through the problem from a bequerel count to an absorption-normalized dose. A lot of the confusion has been added in recent days as weasel-words were added. No one expects a "banana equivalent dose" to become an SI unit, but it is a useful comparison, and within its limits it's well defined. It's also, as noted above, been used notably in a number of publications. Frankly, I have to wonder if the proposal to delete is not at heart an NPV violation -- is the motivation that the BED comparison is politically inconvenient for some parties? -- Charlie (Colorado) (talk) 02:24, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep Should not have been nominated in the first place. WP:JNN Article is useful and informative. It was in great shape a few days ago but started to get mucked-up by people pursuing pro- or anti- nuclear agendas. It's pretty obvious it was made a candidate for deletion due to political purposes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Belchfire (talk • contribs) 02:37, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep Useful, informative. If all else fails revert to its state prior to recent edit warring.--Sommerfeld (talk) 03:06, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- keep I wanted to know about the "Banana Equivalent Dose" and googled it and found this article, so I came here and read about the topic that interested me. That's what an article in an encyclopedia is for, right? Maybe the article could be improved, but it certainly should not be deleted. 03:13, 20 March 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.233.67.102 (talk)

Notability of this game is in question. –BuickCenturyDriver 20:43, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This game has been played over 13 million times in co-op mode via the internet. Now I'm pretty unsure that a heavy amount of plays counts toward any significance, but it's just a point. It has won the several awards in the past and has become quite noted in the online gaming community. Could anyone please tell me any reasons that would help keep this article up? I know there is a page for this, but I am meaning specific to the subject matter (Raze). 1Matt20 20:48, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Alright, well any other suggestions? 1Matt20 21:27, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
Another note: This game is, more or less arguably, notable. Tens of millions of plays, hundreds of videos, embbed on a very large amount of websites... and there is a sequel coming out. What would I have to say to clarify the problem, significance? What elements in the article The Room (video game) help it meet notability and significance guidelines, besides reviews? Also I added categories, does that help at all? *sighs* 1Matt20 22:34, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Not notable. The only mention of the neighborhood that I can find that is not a blog, real estate listing site or pure advertising site is a newspaper article mentioning that a church hosting a festival is in "the Roads". Donald Albury 20:13, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - An extremely difficult search term as "The roads" is a common phrase. However, just doing a search of "The Roads" and its founder Brickell Hammock, I found very significant coverage on just that extremely narrow search term. [6][7]. It's a bona fide historic Miami neighborhood.--Oakshade (talk) 00:00, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Please, if you have found reliable sources, add them to article. Saying there are reliable sources without citing them doesn't help much. BTW, I searched on '"The Roads" Miami', and found only one newspaper article. Without knowing the connection to the Brickells, I had no reason to search for that. Oh, and I don't think the founder was Brickell Hammock; the hammock was named after William Barnwell Brickell and his family. -- Donald Albury 23:41, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep as it now meets WP:NF. Rather than a "limited release", this one has had US and European releases on television and DVD and in several languages. Almost surprsing though, as this is one has a repute for being one of John Carl Buechler's least professional efforts. That said, any hope that a "nationally known" reviewer might soil his hands is a bit much. However, even as a piece of derivative schlock, the film is critiqued (panned) by reviewers notable for their genre. Work in ongoing, yes... but the one-sentence unsourced stub that was nominated,[8] is already beginning to look better.[9] Improvement through expansion and regular editing serves the project.

- ACADEMIC is a good point. The only publications I see there that list hundreds of cites list far down on the author list, but I haven't done a deep study of that. Publications where he had a lead authorship start with cite counts about 40. While h-index and g-index are crude tools at best, I'll note for the record, CIDS gives 17 and 35, respectively, when self-citations and apparent false name matches are excluded. I have no idea if that's suggestive of notability within this fellow's field of study. As a result, I'm left neutral/abstaining. --joe deckertalk to me 03:54, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The argument of low GNews hits is a non-starter - there isn't a threshold of number of hits that counts either way towards notability.

- Delete notability not established outside his connection to Rockwiz. LibStar (talk) 00:33, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep So he finally received national recognition through Rockwiz? We have a well-sourced article on a blind savant, a victim of Asbergers, whose deeds have been reported in multiple reliable sources. Sourcing appears to meet WP:GNG, and the many articles about the man and his accomplishments show his being worthy enough of note for Wikipedia. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 09:07, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Please see the sources in the article and the ones that were mentioned in the DRV for this article. He has received significant coverage from many independent, reliable sources. Although the majority of the coverage is related to Rockwiz, not all of it is. He clearly has the coverage to pass the general notability guideline and has also received coverage for more than one event, so WP:BLP1E (I think that's what the delete votes were claiming) does not apply. Jenks24 (talk) 09:32, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, per Jenks24. I'm not sure WP:ONEEVENT is really geared to this particular case, as my reading of it suggests to me that the primary purpose is to avoid creating articles about people who are only known by virtue of involvement in a notable event. In this case, if one assumes that the "event" is the subject's appearance on Rockwiz, I would suggest that the "event" itself made the press only because the challenges Boerebach faces in daily life and his efforts to overcome them--few, if any, who have appeared on the show have been interviewed so extensively on TV and radio, or had similar coverage in regional or national press. I am swayed by the extent of the coverage about the subject, and that the documentary made about him is making the rounds now of film festivals. Between the documentary, the number of interviews and article about him and his journey to the Rockwiz show, and the local coverage in his home town and the ZDNet article on his net radio program, both of which occurred prior to his involvement in Rockwiz, I believe he meets, if narrowly, provisions established in the GNG. In way of disclosure, I was involved in rewriting this just prior to the last AFD. --Nuujinn (talk) 00:01, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete for the same reasons as last time. This is a guy who appeared on one not-very-notable game show and... well, that's it. Really, that's all. It's not a BLP1E because that generally implies being notable for one event, but being on "Rockwiz" doesn't rise to that level. This is a BLP0E. Even if we did away with our "encyclopedia" goal and decided to be a game-show contestant directory, there are tens of thousands of more notable contestants on important shows before we'd get around to listing everyone who's been on "Rockwiz". In addition, the subject, for whatever reason, seems desperate to self-promote by having an article, and I have serious concerns that COI/SPAM issues will arise if this is kept. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:33, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. So basically what you're saying is that, even though this guys easily meets the general notability guideline and is notable per Wikipedia's definition of notability (ie significant coverage in multiple, reliable, independent sources, and for more than one event), because you think there are other more notable game show contestants and because the subject wants an article on himself, we should ignore Wikipedia's guidelines and delete the article? Jenks24 (talk) 07:43, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Not at all. What I'm saying is that this is a person who has essentially no notability at all and is completely out of scope for an encyclopedia, and would be so even if we were a game-show-contestant encyclopedia, which we are not. I'm also absolutely not nearly as impressed by the supposed "coverage" as you are, but I acknowledge that the primary issue here is one of notability and SPAM, and not necessarily verifiability. You are entitled to your own !vote, which you've already had. Please don't attempt to misrepresent mine. Thanks. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:21, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, thanks for the response. On re-reading my comment, I guess I can see where you can see that I was trying to misrepresent you, but let me please assure that was not what I was attempting to do; I was honestly a bit confused by your delete !vote and was trying to seek clarification (though my bias in thinking the article should be kept obviously came through). I guess we will have to agree to disagree about the scope of Wikipedia and Boerbach's notability. I think he passes the GNG, is not subject to BLP1E and therefore is within Wikipedia's scope whether we want it to be or not. In regards to the spam issue, I do understand your reservations there, but Nuujinn and myself both have the article watchlisted and will continue to do after the AfD (if it is kept) and both of us will try to maintain the article in a neutral, enyclopedic tone. I don't know if that gives you any confidence in believing the article will remain free of spam, but I hope it might. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 15:43, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, if he is not subject to BLP1E, I'm not sure what the objection would be. He's clearly had significant coverage in reliable sources, I think because he is a remarkable person by virtue of being a savant. Savants are an interesting topic, so it's not surprising that there is coverage of him. It's true that the bulk of the coverage is related to his appearance on the show, and normally a contestant on such a show would not be notable--and a reflection of that is that most such contestants do not wind up receiving attention at a national level in the press. I believe it is the combination of 1) a savant who operates an internet radio station who's 2) appeared on a popular game show about music, who has also 3) had that experience documented by an independent film maker that creates the interest that led to the coverage. Also, I personally do not believe that the current version of the article is very spammy, but if anyone wants to trim it back to improve it, please do not hesitate. If the concern is that the subject of the article might try to push a point of view of use WP as a promotional tool, I would suggest that he's acting in a conservative mode now, and let's assume good faith and deal with such problems if they arise. --Nuujinn (talk) 19:07, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I can see where those who vote to delete are coming from, where a contestant appearing on a quiz show does not count for notability, however I feel the main thing all these votes fail to recognize is the subjects ability for chart knowledge, and the press articles, including ZDNet, which were published way before the subjects appearance on Rockwiz.

Contested PROD. This is a self-promotional article written by the individual herself. She has had small roles in some red linked projects, and a two episode walk-on role in a reality TV show. The references included are bare mentions and are not the siginificant coverage required to meet WP:ENT. As it is an autobiography, there is also the concern that large parts of it consist of original research. Kessler may one day score the types of roles required to meet notability criteria, at which time someone uninvolved will likely create her article, but she's not there yet.

Brânză topită should be deleted because Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Besides, brânză topită (= melted / processed cheese) is not a traditional Romanian cheese, as it was first produced in 1911 in Switzerland, from where it spread all over the world - in Romania it has been produced only since 1930.

- you've got me wrong - brânză topită is just the Romanian term for processed cheese, it is not a variety of the "processed cheese" you can find in your cheeseburger in LA, in Manchester or in Sydney. The brânză topită Romanians can eat in Romania was invented in 1911 by Walter Gerber of Thun, in Switzerland just as any other processed cheese one can eat anywhere else in the world. The Laughing Cow is an example of brânză topită, just see for yourself and, if you want, see also here. Burghiu (talk) 16:07, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- If this is simply the Romanian name for "processed cheese" and does not describe any cheese product specific to Romania, then I change my recommendation to Delete. I trust your judgment on this, Burghiu. Is that what you are saying?Cullen328 (talk) 05:22, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That's exactly what I'm saying: brânză topită is the Romanian name for processed cheese. The Romanian name is similar to the French fromage fondu and to the Spanish es:queso fundido which literally mean "melted cheese" and which translate into English by processed cheese. The confusing element is that while Romanian, French and Spanish are Romance languages (which often permits to translate phrases literally from one language into the other), English is not a Romance language and one cannot translate literally from Romanian or Spanish to English. If "melted cheese" sounds odd to a native speaker of English is because it is a literal translation from Romanian or Spanish and it is at the same time the wrong translation for "processed cheese".

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The introductory text to this article is "Algerian-Kosovan relations are non-existent", which brings doubt onto the necessity for the page, certainly with this title. The rest of the article is a direct copy of content from International recognition of Kosovo, and isn't really about relations.
The article's creator, User:*Kat*, stated in the original edit summary that "I am in the process of breaking down the International recognition of Kosovo article into much smaller pieces (the main article is over 220kbs long). This is the first of several sub articles on it". The International recognition article is lengthy, but no discussion has taken place on its Talk page about this. This should have been a first step before creating split articles such as this one, and I suspect that any such proposal would have been rejected. I would certainly argue against splitting up the content of the International recognition article in this way. Bazonka (talk) 12:08, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- If you want to split that article, then don't make a hundred small mini-articles because it's much more difficult to maintain. Break it into big pieces. A good way is taking the biggest sections and moving them to a new article, leaving a brief summary behind. For example List of states which formally recognise Kosovo as independent and List of states which do not formally recognise Kosovo as independent, leaving behind summaries of how many states are in each list. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That is a sensible proposal, but it should be discussed at Talk:International recognition of Kosovo first. Bazonka (talk) 17:22, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to International recognition of Kosovo. The only encyclopedic content is about recognition. --Enric Naval (talk) 16:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I would only propose creating separate articles for countries with large sections, such as Russia, Slovakia, Indonesia ect. The section regarding Algeria is not big in comparison. Also I would name theses articles "X and Kosovo's Declaration of Independence" instead of X-Kosovo relations" as they aren't relations. IJA (talk) 19:38, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Man, how many things can you say about the recognition of *one* country? You would have to milk mercilessly every source to extract enough material for one full article. It's better to group several countries and make sections for each country. Try, for example, grouping all European countries in one article. --Enric Naval (talk) 21:57, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I think the difference between the Deletionist and Inclusionist tribes is actually comparatively small. There's plenty of crap coming through the pipe that we can agree needs to go away and most of the serious articles in Wikipedia aren't subjected to pointless attacks on the grounds of religious application of notability doctrine. The "Country X — Country Y Relations" articles are one big sticking point. Yes, they are extremely esoteric. I don't know what would motivate a person to dedicate their time to constructing these, but mine not to reason why... In general, the absurdist permutations of these have been getting whacked, Maldive Islands-Iceland relations and fodder of that sort, the really big ones aren't getting challenged, Russia-Canada relations and so forth. Then there are articles like this one. Esoteric? Certainly. Useless? Maybe not — Algeria and Kosovo both being Muslim countries and all. Anyway, I'm an inclusionist — there's no point in deleting serious information just because it's highly esoteric. There ya go. Carrite (talk) 15:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - the issue here is not about the type of article, but about its content. There are no diplomatic relations between Kosovo and Algeria, and the text in this article isn't about relations; if there were relations then I wouldn't have nominated it for deletion. Bazonka (talk) 17:33, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- @Carrite. Is it significant that both countries are muslim? Has it affected relationships in some notable way? Can you cite RS that support these effects? Those are the questions that are relevant here. --Enric Naval (talk) 08:39, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge. This article is based on the research and conclusions made by Arthur J. Bellinzoni Professor of Religion. The Christianity article is protected. Since I couldn't put these classifications on there I wrote this article. I would be quite happy if somebody with editing permissions could do such a merge (Yessy543 (talk) 17:46, 19 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]
- Delete Prof Bellinzoni, whose classification this article is about, is expressly giving his view on the development of what he terms Early Catholic Christianity. The subject heading isn't appropriate for this and there are several articles on Early Christianity. AJHingston (talk) 18:09, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge then with either Christianity or Early Christianity. How Christianity is today, is a direct result of the substreams that developed initially. Still today those branches of Christianity exists very definately - Gnosticism, Pauline Christianity, Johannine Christianity as well as Jewish Christianity are active streams within Christianity, and the fact that this differentiation is not made when people introduce themselves as being Christian creates a lot of confusion, even when one starts doing research on the types of mysticism that applies to the different branches, and yet is almost worlds apart (see Christian mysticism. Why the article on Early Christianity and Christianity isn't combined I don't understand.Christianity is such a vast topic, I would have personally been much more comfortable if the main article Christianity merely pointed to a long list of sub-articles, including Early Christianity without being an article in itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yessy543 (talk • contribs) 06:40, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The early divisions are enormously important, of course, and the classification is not novel. But it is inferred from the sources, not the only way of looking at it, and Paul, of course, famously rejected the attaching of his name to a particular faction. Then there are those who are very uncomfortable with the whole idea, which is presumably why Prof Bellinzoni carefully talked about the development of Catholic Christianity. Added to that is the question of whether any doctrinal understanding since 200AD has validity other than by reference to things written before that date (or an earlier one). The difficulty for Wikipedia is that the topic of Christianity is so complex and far reaching. Keeping control of the structure (hence this discussion) is essential, and periodic restructuring will have to be done. I voted for delete rather than merge because it seems better to address inadequacies in the present articles directly than simply trying to slot in this material wholesale. AJHingston (talk) 13:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The topic of Christianity is indeed complex. And the greatest division is indeed about the Gospel of Paul. You said "and Paul, of course, famously rejected the attaching of his name to a particular faction." Within the context of his gospel, I disagree with you. In Paul's letters to the Galatians (Chapter 1) he talked about "his gospel" and stated in no uncertain terms, that if anybody rejects "his Gospel" (Paul's Gospel), let them be accursed. Paul had no tollerance for any other Gospel than his Gospel. He considered it as the only truth, the only true interpretation of the message of Christianity. Yet the other streams of Christianity does not emphasise the Gospel of Paul. The Teachings of Jesus is rather emphasized as a guide to assist people in their spiritual development when adhered to. This division within Christianity between those following Paul's Gospel and those that reject it, is so enormoys, that to consolidate all groups that uses the bible within one umbrella called "Christianity", would be similar as to group together all vegetarians as all serving some common couse. I would love to see that divide emphasized in any way, it doesn't have to be with the content of the article under discussion. Paul's Gospel is either rejected or embraced, no neutral stand on it is possible in Christianity. Not in early Christianity, and still not today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yessy543 (talk • contribs) 15:04, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand, and I really wasn't wanting to express an opinion either way on whether Paul's teachings stand as a distinct doctrine. What I wanted to get at is precisely that we all have our own understandings, and these differences may even extend to the way the Christianity articles are structured, because what makes sense to us may unwittingly step on somebody else's profound belief. The challenge is not just to try to maintain a neutral point of view but in these matters actively seek to accommodate views which we consider mistaken. The Wikipedia Christianity articles would be better if everyone had found that possible. AJHingston (talk) 16:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You said "The challenge is not just to try to maintain a neutral point of view but in these matters actively seek to accommodate views which we consider mistaken."
- The issue is that wikipedia goes from the standpoint that there are many truths and one should not try and offend. Fundamental Pauline Christianity is however an extremely offensive religion. It boldly proclaims that there is only ONE truth, that there is no salvation available to anybody that does not embrace the Pauline Gospel, that all people are lost and deceived that resists the Gospel of Paul and that our best efforts to try and please God without faith in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross, is like filthy menstrual cloths before God - that disgusting, not our sin, our self-righteousness!!. Except for pointing out that there is a distinct difference between Pauline Christianity and all other religions that tries to earn salvation or enlightenment by means of pursuing some spiritual path and doing good deeds, there would be no way to cater for all. If the current "Types of Christianity" article is not satisfactory, let us change it then, and then merge it, but let us present the concept of Christianity with it's fundamental divisions from the very introduction. (Yessy543 (talk) 15:23, 22 March 2011 (UTC)) PS: Looking at the article Christian mysticism , the need for type spesifications, running through to practices and the different mysticisms that applies is unquestionable.

- Merge to Christianity, this is a pretty clear cut situation here. There is no indication that this needs a dedicated article. I dont think anyone will dispute that this religion, like most religions, have differences within, but there is not ample evidence that a dedicated article is needed. Those differences can be briefly covered in the Christianity article and then expanded in the articles on each "type" (certainly there is a more academic word than type that can be used here instead)?. RadioFan (talk) 00:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete altogether. Redundant and inferior in coverage to List of Christian denominations, with an interesting but ultimately irrelevant addition of the Christian sect Marcionites. They became extinct in the early centuries of the first millenium, and have neither grown sufficiently in recent years, nor have their beliefs remained sufficiently unaltered, such that they would not be better described as Christians who believe in Marcionism, rather than a separate type of Christians. Anarchangel (talk) 02:29, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The types of Christianity is the higher category. List of dinominations are under each (except for the one distinct type). The types are completely different like fruit and vegetables.

(Yessy543 (talk) 04:41, 24 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]
- Comment: You claim the types are higher, but there's nothing in the word types that readily distinguishes the content from say, Roman Catholic v. Eastern Orthodox v. Protestant; or, Western v. Eastern v. African v. Asian; or several other categorizations that all seem to be "types" as well. You clearly need to define "types" more explicitly, or find a term that doesn't make people wonder why you're not talking about the "types" of Christianity that are more commonly talked about today. I agree with the editor above who said this is really an article about early church terms, because it ignored everything after the Chalcedonian split. Aristophanes68 (talk) 05:11, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Help needed please: This article on Types of Christianity in itself is not what is so important to me, but the greater issue is. The Liberal Gnostic streams of so called "Christians" have taken over the word Christian mysticism for themselves. On the article Christian mysticism they totally redefined what Christianity is all about. Refer to the article Pauline mysticism and compare it to Christian mysticism and you will see it is two worlds apart. Yet, no matter how hard I try, how many times I try to bring anything about Pauline mysticism into the article, it simply gets deleted to leave the article only with this New Age Gnostic type of flavour. I hoped that having some types of Christianity defined somewhere else I would be able to pull it through to that article. You will see the trail of my failed attempts on the discussion page. I am a Pauline Christian, and suddenly now my view groups take on Christianity and our practice and beliefs about mysticism gets totally disregarded as the "not true" "not valid" stream. Even attempts of me just to include Pauline mysticism as a "see also" item in the list got deleted time and again. And I am not an administrator, so what can I do? I tried twice again this morning to place something about Christ mysticism, but I don't know if the second attempt had been deleted once again, without even engaging on the discussion page with me. Please help. (Yessy543 (talk) 06:03, 26 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]
- I'm not sure why the other editor keeps removing all your references to Pauline mysticism; I've asked him on his talk page to respond. It's unclear to me how much material should be added to/removed from the page while the article is being reconstructed. There's no reason to have endless edit wars when we can simply seek consensus on the talk page first. But I want to point out that what you call "New Age Gnostic flavor" in the article is actually just an overview of the Roman Catholic tradition. Your calling it New Age Gnosticism comes off as either uninformed or as dismissive of Catholicism. Aristophanes68 (talk) 06:18, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not an enemy of the Catholic Church, in fact I even enjoy the work of Madame Guyone, a Catholic mystic. I agree with much of the principles in the article Christian meditation. But the article on Christian mysticism, promotes the view of the Eastern Church, and even refer to Ghandi. Read the section on Practices. To me it is describing New Age with a flavour of Christianity. If I could have my way it would be for the article "Christian mysticism" to be simply a reference article referring to various Christian mysticism related articles, such as Pauline mysticism. Then they can keep their article and call it Eastern Christianity mysticism. Then all could be happy. (Yessy543 (talk) 06:33, 26 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]
- These are the kinds of comments you need to be making over at Talk:Christian mysticism, since they're off-topic for this discussion of Types of Christianity.

- What else can I do but to discuss it here? You can discuss it on the talk page of the article, and you request discussion on the discussion pages of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christianity and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spirituality. I appreciate your concern, but the discussion you and I have been having here is no longer about Types of Christianity, and the person who is reverting your edits isn't likely to come to this page to discuss the issue, so we need to find ways of moving the discussion to a more appropriate and more effective place.

Relisting per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 March 12. I abstain. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:39, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Did I vote in the last one? I don't remember. Either way, I feel that the further sources that were uncovered during the AfD and the deletion review are more than enough to show notability of the subject. It's quite clear that, while a small politician, he is a quite controversial and talked about one in France. SilverserenC 08:10, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Though there are obviously a few sources giving glimpses at Mr Asselineau, I don't think he passes WP:N or more specifically WP:POLITICIAN. I shall give details later, but to open the discussion, I underline that I disagree with Silver Seren above : Mr Asselineau is not "quite controversial" and not at all "talked about".
- The rare relevant sources about him are factual, say who he is and what he is doing, but don't go far enough to give an opinion (favorable or unfavorable) about his person ; as far as I remember only one source [19] uses one sentence to be critical about Mr Asselineau ("Convictions pas toujours très bien argumentées au regard des enjeux de la mondialisation." - rough translation "His convictions are somehow contradictory in view of the real stakes of mondialisation."), and this is about the first life of Mr Asselineau -as a civil servant ; his second life as a politician attracts virtually no attention at all. French Tourist (talk) 08:30, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If he wasn't so controversial, I don't understand why so many administrators from French Wikipedia came over here to vote Delete on this article, which then prompted a number of French IP addresses to show up to vote Keep. I think French Wikipedia should not attempt to have any hold over articles on English Wikipedia, just for the main fact that our policies and notability requirements are different. SilverserenC 08:53, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Please don't consider I am here as a fighter trying to force our French way of life to the English speakers, I edit here in view of the article about François Asselineau, not in view of forcing new notability rules on this wiki. This is not an interwiki fight. Several french sysops came here because Mr Asselineau and his friends had been disruptive on :fr Wikipedia, and they were hence boiling. They were perhaps right to do it, perhaps wrong, but this can be rationally explained and has nothing to do with the knowledge relevant sources have of Mr Asselineau (and the :fr's sysops'board is not a reliable source of course). As far as I can read you, when I ask for sources proving Mr Asselineau is "controversial" and "talked about", you only produce WP:OR founded on the behavior of five Wikipédia sysops. This does not carry much weight, in my opinion. French Tourist (talk) 09:09, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I gave sources in the previous AfD here and here. (Ah, looks like I did vote Keep.) And I would advise you also check out the newspaper clipping info from his press book, not to mention the myriad of sources given by other people in that AfD and the Deletion Review. SilverserenC 09:18, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I already checked the press book, but intend to answer source by source : you try to prove something (that Mr Asselineau is "controversial" and "talked about"), so you show sources, and then I try to answer "OK for this one" or "definitely no for this one".
- So, let's see which ones you call. The first you cite is [20]. This is a Carnet entry in Les Echos, published in 2004 (in the "first life" of FA, as a civil servant). It does not prove at all he is controversial, since this is a factual biographical note. Les Echos publishes every day an entire page of similar entries, I have at hand yesterday's issue : it contains 9 similar biographical stubs. There is one for any new appointment of a high-ranking civil servant or manager in a reasonably big company, several thousand similar notices a year. Hardly a way to prove WP:N, unless you consider that every high-ranking civil servant or manager is notable.
- Next one is [21], hardly a "reliable source" : a page on a commercial website about cultural events in Nice. This page proves that Mr Asselineau has given a conference in this town, and probably copies verbatim the announcement given by Mr Asselineau himself, as far as I can judge from its laudative style. No proof that he is "controversial". As for "talked about", it proves that Mr Asselineau talks about France, not that France talks about Mr Asselineau :-).
- The article [22] (a web journalism article on a right-wing website) hardly passes WP:RS (a very marginal right-wing source, not a national newspaper or a reasonably famous website), but is interesting nonetheless as far as it writes that Mr Asselineau "mérite d’être invité dans les grands médias, ce qui n’est pas le cas aujourd’hui" (deserves to get invited in mainstream media, which does not happen today). No proof at all that Mr Asselineau is controversial (the fact that his article was deleted on :fr wiki hardly proves that - being controversial helps to get an article on any language wikipedia), no proof that he is "talked about" but rather a proof of the opposite.
- The very short article [23] has nothing to do with the word "controversial" as it is very factual. It is one of the most interesting in my opinion, and justified a "weak" in front of my "delete" non-vote on the first procedure. It shows that Mr Asselineau got some fame, very local in space as in time, by leaving the main opposition group in conseil de Paris to stand as an independent. As this conseil has 161 members, most of them obscure, I still don't consider that such a micro-event makes you "talked about" even if it is related by the only local newspaper for Paris town.
- For [24], I am sorry not to have access to the website. "206 words" seems short, I suppose this is a biographical note similar to the Carnet entry in Les Echos. Please give us more information about this source if you think it is really relevant.
- At last [25] is only very marginally about Mr Asselineau. It is linked to the same event that the one I quoted myself, his nomination in 2004 as head of a commission about economic intelligence. It does not show at all he is "controversial" and hardly that he is "talked about" - the pure fact that he is president of this commission is given, in one factual boring sentence ("La direction de cette Délégation générale de l’Intelligence économique a été confiée à François Asselineau, Inspecteur général des finances, ancien d’HEC et de l’ENA.").

- (Moved to the bottom so they're easier to read). I was just using controversial as a descriptor. You do know how notability is ascertained here, right? For one, I would say that he passes the general notability guideline handily. SilverserenC 09:58, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- OK let's go again on general things, this goes faster than opening and discussing individual sources. WP:GNG requires "significant coverage in reliable sources" and explains shortly what "significant" means : Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source materia. In virtually every source we have met until now, we have not much more than a "trivial mention", at least for "reliable" sources. French Tourist (talk) 10:04, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- these are not "press articles", but mere mentions of appointments published by Les Echos in Le Carnet, ie entries related to the appointment of civil servants or executives. The Carnet publishes brief announcements relating to deaths or appointments of civil servants or in corporates. Something similar seems to be the announcements published in The Hill. It is pretty certain that not all the people mentionned in the Carnet or in the announcements of The Hill are notable for WP. Mr Asselineau has a total of 8 hits in Les Echos over a period of 12 years, which does not seem particulmarly impressive for an average high grade civil servant. Sipahoc (talk) 06:40, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you find the rule or the recommendation explaining that sources should have a minimum size to be valid? I did not find. Until you show us that, the combination of 19 sources from the most well-known French Newspapers allows to build a decent articles that is proving the article's Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability. --Lawren00 (talk) 14:32, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- "There are at least 4 references that use François Asselineau in the title of their articles". This is factually wrong. "François Asselineau" is written in capital letters on the web references you cite, but it is not the "title" of an article but of a section of a page in the paper edition. Of course I don't have at hand these old issues of Les Echos but can give an example of how a "Carnet" page looks like in last Wednesday's issue. The title of the page is "Carnet" in 0.8 cm black letters. The page contains 2 sections, titled in 0.4 cm red letters "Entreprises" (6 items), and "Fonction publique" (also titled in 0.4 cm red letters) (2 items), but also a real short article titled "Portrait", significantly longer and with a picture. In the "Fonction publique" section, a typical article reads "MINISTERE DE L'ECOLOGIE Vincent Pourqu** de Boiss** est nommé directeur général des établissements publics d'aménagement de Marne-la-Vallée", with 0.2 black letters for the name. Note that Mr Asselineau's notices, considering their length are not similar to the day article, which is indeed a proof of notability (it is signed by a journalist who has met today's man or woman and has not the form of a curriculum vitae).

- Delete There is exactly one single reliable source that is just barely more than a passing mention, Le Parisien from 2006. Everything else is either trivial or self published / blog / not a reliable source.

- Keep. Passes General Notability. Nipsonanomhmata (Talk) 11:18, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Mr Asselineau does not meet the notability criteria of WP:POLITICIAN or even the general notability guideline.
- "Political carreer": as a reminder (from WP:POLITICIAN#3), "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability".
- The provided sources are the following: general results of the local elections in Libération (so this tells us he was elected as one of the ~160 other members of the Paris council), then he is mentionned 5 times in 6 years in Le Parisien: 2004 (Mr A becomes a UMP member), 2006 (Mr A is leaving the UMP), 2007 (considers the coming elections) and 2007 again (about the non registered members of the council such as Mr A) and finally 2008 about Mr A as giving up being a candidate. So coverage by Le Parisien of this Paris politician for his tenure period (2001-2007): 2 brief articles about his party changes, 3 mentions in 2007 where he first candidates then gives up.
- Then we have the one single mention of Mr A in a national newspaper : Le Figaro, a 2 pragraphs article in 2008 about Mr A saying he withdraws from the election. This is the sole article from a newspaper ever mentionning the Union populaire républicaine (UPR), the party that was then newly created (see next section).
- "President of a political party": Except for this political site reproducing a press release on the creation of the new party in 2007 (and the mention of the Figaro), the only thing we have is a couple of entries in enquete-debat.fr, such as in Januray 2011, about the fact that the article of Mr A on WP:fr was deleted. But Enquête & Débat seems to be a collective newsblog created mid-2010 (see this), so based on WP:Reliable sources we cannot use it. What the party itself has to say about his press coverage does not help us: a couple (4) of annoucements of conferences in local newspapers, apparently Mr A spoke 4 times in local radios between 2007 and 2010, there is one article in a local newspaper (Le Bien Public) in 2008 and one article from 2007 in Entreprendre, an economic monthly, about a dinner-conference.
- So although I would certainly favor the lowest of all possible barriers to notability for political parties, regardless of ideology, this party doesn't pass any barrier at all: it was created 4 years ago, never had any coverage in any known newspaper, no-one ever analysed the party's programme or position. I mean these guys are so minor and unknown that there isn't even a newspaper interested enough to say that they are minor and unknown!
- "Staff member of various cabinets"
- Mr A is a civil servant. He is inspector general of finance, which means he is one of the 260 members of the General Inspection of Finances, an auditing body of the French administration. This does not make him very notable. More important, Mr A was head of staff or staff member for ministers or similar personnalities, and this is the area where some will tell you that there are "newspapers articles whose title is the name of Asselineau".
- But these are not "press articles", they are mere mentions of appointments publihed by Les Echos in what they call Le Carnet, ie entries related to the appointment of civil servants or executives. You will find in the Carnet brief announcements relating to deaths or appointments of civil servants or in corporates. Something pretty similar seems to be the announcements published in The Hill. It is pretty sure not all the people mentionned in the Carnet or in the announcements of The Hill are notable for WP.
- Mr A has a total of 8 hits in Les Echos over a period of 12 years.
- You can compare that with Mr Philippe Andres, 7 entries in the Carnet, or Pascal Faure 20 entries. They do not have a WP article, and probably will never have one. You can also have a look at announcements published in The Hill. Lots of people have entries therein, but have no article on Wikipedia, such as Dr. Stephen Flynn, 7 hits in The Hill over a 5 years period.
- "Head of the Délégation générale de l'intelligence économique": this is the thing that almost made me swing from delete to weak keep. Almost. But the sources are Another of these Carnet entries about the creation of the Délégation générale de l'intelligence économique, A Liberation article about the creation of the General Delegation that mentions the fact that Mr A is appointed as head of the delegation, and that the delegation will count up to 15 people.
- That's it. 1.5 years later, this article talks about a presentation made by Mr A regarding economic intelligence and says the delegation was dissolved in May 2006.
- So this delegation was created, Mr A was heading it, and then....nothing. Nothing was produced by the delegation, nobody heard anything about it, no newspaper ever mentionned it again and...it just disappeared 1.5 years later.
- Conclusion: any person holding various staff member position with ministers and the like over a 10 year period and then gets elected at a local election will certainly gather some news coverage, but is there a significant coverage here? What do we have?
- 402 hits on Google.com, 494 hits on Google.fr (note: there seems to be a bug, as the results seem impressive when you hit the search button, but when you go ahead with the next button, you soon reach the end of the list).
- a total of 8 Carnet entries in Les Echos on his staff positions between 1994 and 2006,
- a total of 5 very short articles in Le Parisien covering the 2001-2007 period when he was a member of the Paris council (in 2 of these, Mr Asselineau is mentionned incidentally),
- 1.5 article (one article about the creation of the delegation, and one announcement of the appointment of Mr Asselineau) about the delegation. This delegation was so famous that it never received any other coverage for the next 1.5 years, not even to announce the fact that it was dissolved 1.5 years later.
- 1 article mentionning the party founded by Mr A in 2007.
- This is not a significant coverage. This guy certainly does not meet WP:POLITICIAN criteria, and according to me does not meet the general notability guideline. He was not deleted from WP:fr for nothing. The only thing you need to have your article is to be notable, such as fr:Rassemblement pour l'indépendance et la souveraineté de la France to give an extreme right-wing example.

- Weak delete per Sipahoc's compelling case. –SJ+ 18:45, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I have to ask, in what sense is Sipahoc's case "compelling"? Let's analyse it.
In the "political career" section, Sipahoc says that M. Asselineau is the subject of five "very short" articles in Le Parisien. I submit that Le Parisien is a reliable source. Sipahoc then goes on to say that M. Asselineau has been the subject of an article in Le Figaro, which is also a reliable source.
In the "president of a political party", Sipahoc then makes a compelling case that the political party M. Asselineau led is not notable. But that does not prove that M. Asselineau himself is not notable. On en.wiki, the notability of the party is independent of the notability of the person.
In the "Staff member of various cabinets" section, Sipahoc makes various WP:WAX-type arguments in the form, "Person X doesn't have an article, so person Y should not have an article either." These arguments are normally given little weight.
In the next section, Sipahoc highlights coverage given to M. Asselineau in Libération, which is also a reliable source.
In the conclusion, Sipahoc summarises what he's already said and comes to the curious conclusion that the coverage M. Asselineau has received, across multiple articles in several different reliable sources, is not sufficient to establish notability!
I don't doubt that on fr.wiki, Sipahoc's arguments would be understood as correct: they have strict standards for politicians and M. Asselineau's article was correctly deleted from there. But on en.wiki, I respectfully submit, they establish that this gentleman is notable and merits an article.—S Marshall T/C 19:30, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I feel useful to add a precision about the "article" in Le Figaro : [26]. As precise and exhaustive Sipahoc could be, he has obviously made an error on this one. As you can check when opening it, the title of this web page begins with "Figaro : Flash Actu ...", and the webpage text terminates with "Source: AFP". For a reader used to the Figaro website, these two informations show that this is not an article from this newspaper, but simply a page on the newspaper's website, where a dispatch from Agence France-Presse is reproduced. As far as we know, no newspaper judged this dispatch worthy of an article.
On the other hand, I willingly concede S Marshall that the articles of Le Parisien and the article in Liberation are to be taken in consideration ; the first ones because Le Parisien is the only local newspaper for Paris proper, and for this reason a primordial source for local events in Paris (including local politics at Conseil de Paris), the second one as Liberation is one of the main French national dailies. Indeed, my "delete" !-vote tends to be weak because of Le Parisien, while Sipahoc admits that he is not so far from considering Liberation. Note however that in both cases, we are quite far from the exigence of significant coverage, IMO. French Tourist (talk) 19:46, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- But isn't AFP a reliable source in its own right? AFP is the world's oldest news agency! See WP:NEWSORG: we are to prioritise sources from news agencies. If AFP says a thing and Le Figaro publishes it, then doesn't that add to, rather than subtract from, the credibility associated with Le Figaro's name?—S Marshall T/C 20:22, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You are right, and I should modify my arguments. AFP is obviously a reliable source ; note however that you cannot say that there is credibility in "Le Figaro" publishing this dispatch, since it did not publish it - it is not in Le Figaro it is on the website. After making this concession, I don't change my opinion but formulate it differently : if a very short article of twenty lines in one of the main French newspapers is not much, but something (since a newspaper has limited room), one dispatch in the gigantic production of AFP is very, very little, and very far from the exigence of significant coverage. French Tourist (talk) 20:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for being a very reasonable interlocutor. I should probably draw your attention to our definition of "significant coverage", which is at WP:SIGCOV: "more than a trivial mention, but need not be the main subject of the article". Haven't we agreed that M. Asselineau has been the main subject of articles from three reliable sources?—S Marshall T/C 20:44, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As far as I understand it, the rule as it is written is an implication if a coverage is sufficient, then the article contains more than a trivial mention, but it does not work in the opposite direction - for me it is obvious that not everybody who has been the main subject of articles in important newspapers verifies WP:GNG ; for instance as you can read in this page "In particular, if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual." So we have to decide whether the global coverage of Mr Asselineau is significant or not, not by applying some automatic rule ("main topic of an article" - while the article may have only a few dozens of words), but by watching what parts of his biography is covered by these articles ; as far as I judge, very little. Last detail : I agree that M. Asselineau is mentioned by three reliable sources (AFP, Le Parisien, Libération), but he is the "main subject" of an article only for the first two (and even for the first, the word "article" is slightly inappropriate, this is a dispatch).

- S Marshall, If significant coverage means "more than a trivial mention, but need not be the main subject of the article", then we remain with 2 one-paragraph articles in the local edition of Le Parisien (2004 and 2006) and the two-pragraph article in the Figaro (the article about him, in 2008)(a mere reproduction of an AFP press release only published on the electronic version of the Figaro, if I understand correctly what FrenchTourist says). All other articles who mention Mr Asselineau are about another subject. I guess the 3 said "article" do not allow to consider somebody notable? Sipahoc (talk) 21:43, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- On fr.wiki, three articles in two journals wouldn't be sufficient for a politician, but here on en.wiki they can be. My position is that M. Assilineau is notable, and Sipahoc has already linked to the reliable sources that have noted him.
In response to French Tourist: it's true that some people are notable only for one event, and these people are excluded from our encyclopaedia. This is our rule about WP:BLP1E. However, M. Asselineau is notable for several things: being elected to the Paris council (source), becoming a member of the UMP (source), leaving the UMP (source), putting himself forward as a candidate for the elections (source), and withdrawing (source). These things took place in different years and were reported separately in different reliable sources, so they are clearly more than one event.
M. Asselineau is not an important figure in French politics. He is a very minor one, and I agree that he has not been very successful. By fr.wiki's rules I'm sure it was right delete his article. But by en.wiki's rules I'm sure it's right to keep it.—S Marshall T/C 22:46, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, as a matter of fact, I think there must be on WP:fr a number of articles based on 3 articles in 2 journals or even less. But then you would have a short article based on said newspaper articles. In this case, there are two problems: (i) the only thing these sources indicate is that the guy was elected at a local election in 2001, jumped a bit from party to party and finally decided to give up being a candidate for his reelection, which does not make somebody notable enough for WP:fr (FYI, fr:Wikipédia:Notoriété des personnalités politiques). The fact that said 3 articles are: 2 times 1 paragraph in the local pages of Le Parisien and 1 time a 2 paragraph article in the internet version of the Figaro wouldn't have helped either. Worse, the article that was created on WP:fr (and here) was/is not about a local politician that was once elected and then never again. It is about some kind of Superman, a powerfull intellectual that had a brilliant carreer but that no party was good enough for him so he created his own party. So although an AfD debate is not about the content, I think you cannot disregard it in this case. What will you accept in the article? ;-) Because the only significant coverage is about a single event (although you say there are many): the short life of Mr A as a member of the UMP. Because that is the single event that received a significant coverage: he entered the UMP 5 years after his election (no significant coverage for his election), left it 2 years later, which made his reelection impossible.

- On fr.wiki, three articles in two journals wouldn't be sufficient for a politician, but here on en.wiki they can be. My position is that M. Assilineau is notable, and Sipahoc has already linked to the reliable sources that have noted him.
- I feel useful to add a precision about the "article" in Le Figaro : [26]. As precise and exhaustive Sipahoc could be, he has obviously made an error on this one. As you can check when opening it, the title of this web page begins with "Figaro : Flash Actu ...", and the webpage text terminates with "Source: AFP". For a reader used to the Figaro website, these two informations show that this is not an article from this newspaper, but simply a page on the newspaper's website, where a dispatch from Agence France-Presse is reproduced. As far as we know, no newspaper judged this dispatch worthy of an article.
- Well, I have to ask, in what sense is Sipahoc's case "compelling"? Let's analyse it.
- That is just a Carnet entry. Look at the top of the entry: "nomination" (appointement). It just says the same (or even a bit less) than the Carnet entry about the same in Asselineau Les Echos. Le Monde also has that kind of Carnet, being the subject of one of these does not make of you "the subject of an article", does it? Sipahoc (talk) 13:59, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- keep The news coverage, 19 sources, are all coming from the most well-known French Newspaper such as Les_Échos_(France), Libération, Le Monde, Le Parisien and Le Figaro. Every single piece of information in the article are coming from those articles. Thus, there are enough pieces of information in well known French Newspapers to build a decent article. It proves the Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability of the article. --Lawren00 (talk) 15:37, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I am not a French speaker and have no idea why there is such rabid opposition to this article. I do know how to run a Google search and to count, however, and there is no way that this individual should fail a notability challenge. The frenzy over the topic here is highly indicative of notability in and of itself. Now it's time for some people to buckle down and craft a fair and informative biography on the subject. Carrite (talk) 16:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- So you cannot understand what the warning I put at the top of this subpage refers to. Sorry about that.
- The first link is the facebook page of François Asselineau and his staff. During the first AfD, there was a call there to vote keep or strong keep. Amusingly, people had to contribute to wikipedia in order to game the system, therefore at some point somebody explained how to edit the page to another people who couldn't understand how to contribute. He concluded his explanation by saying that he'd been found out and quoting my answer to the ip to explain why he couldn't write on that page any more.
- The second link is a call on fr.wp administrator's notice board to come here delete the article because of Lawren00. Although a checkuser result proved he was not a vandal, the demander still had reservations (J'en tire d'autres hypothèses personnelles). I haven't followed what happened as a result of that french AfD, but the obvious result is that François Asselineau is not a contested people in France, but only on the French Wikipedia. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 23:28, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete How many times do we have to do this to get this article out of Wikipedia ? This person is a perfect unknown in France. He is a middle rank civil servant, who tried to launch a personnal political career, but failed. There is no news article that deals specifically with him. All the articles quoted only refer to him superficially as they are about politicians for whom he worked. The sources that refer specifically to him are only very short notifications of his appointment to some civil servants jobs. A proper search on Google, using the exact wording function, only gives 392 "real" hits : [27]. To sum up: a perfect unknown who's trying to use Wikipedia for his (desperate) PR. It's time to stop him. Gede (talk) 16:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I would seriously like to know why, if Asselineau is a complete unknown and totally unimportant, are admins from French wikipedia coming onto English wikipedia to make sure that his article gets deleted here as well? Do all of you do this for every counterpart article on English wikipedia that gets deleted on French wikipedia? Because I haven't really seen that, which seems to insinuate that there is something slightly more important about Asselineau for all of you to make sure he gets deleted. SilverserenC 16:19, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
-
- I didn't say anything personal about the user, I think it's a legitimate question that contributes to the fact that, no matter what may be claimed about if Asselineau is controversial or not, the fact that this very AfD is going on (and the AfD and Deletion Review that came before) show that he is controversial or, at least, that there's something else going on here. SilverserenC 16:58, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As I had already answered, but without sources, French admins are fed up with Mr Asselineau because of the disruptive actions of his fan-club on Wikipédia in French, see for instance fr:Wikipédia:Vérificateur_d'adresses_IP/Requêtes/décembre_2010#Demande_concernant_:_Trilaterale_etc_-_12_d.C3.A9cembre (and the next section) for sockpupettry. Our interest for this problem can be explained this way ; you seem to suggest that they are proof of some importance of Mr Asselineau outside the administrative pages of Wikipédia in French, perhaps that we act as the arm of some political opponent of Mr Asselineau, you are wrong - Mr Asselineau is known by most Wikipédia admins because his fan-club has kept annoying us. For a broad majority of people in France, the checkuser pages are not their favorite reading, and they don't know at all this obscure politician. Local notability among french sysops is not notability. It would be a bit paradoxal that disrupting a wiki of the WF might be deemed a valid motive for inclusion in another ! French Tourist (talk) 17:06, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, neither the motivations of any participant nor a description of the behaviour of some FR users on FR-wiki have any relevance on a policy-based discussion on whether Asselineau meets the EN inclusion guidelines. It is however a huge distraction. MLauba (Talk) 17:40, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think there is cause for concern when half of the delete votes in a discussion are by admins from another Wikipedia, one of which has just admitted to there being conflict between admins of said Wikipedia and the subject that is to be deleted. SilverserenC 17:56, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- One could just as easily respond by pointing out that those same admins offer a detailed source analysis that many EN posters cannot refute because they cannot actually read them without resorting to inadequate tools like google translate. It is not a vote, and AfDs are, fortunately, only rarely affected by an attack on the motivations of the nominator or specific voters. MLauba (Talk) 18:08, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I can understand Silver seren's concerns (although of course his aggressive approach is less understandable, as well as his vote on a matter he readily admits not to understand) and maybe a little explanation from someone who hadn't heard of Mr Asselineau until I started looking at this AfD. What happened Silver seren is the following: the article about Asselineau was created in January 2008 on WP:fr and it was quickly sent to the equivalebnt of the AfD's, see fr:Discussion:François Asselineau/Suppression. You will note that there is little discussion, a consensus is quickly reached, and, more interestingly, note that amongst the 11 people who choose for "delete", there are only 2 admins, none of which came here. A third admin (again, none of the ones who came here) deleted the page accordingly. And between that and the Checkuser page (December 2010, 3 years later) there seems to have been a constant war by a couple of editors creating sockpuppets, creating articles about the new and unknown party, etc, becoming something really disruptive on WP:fr. With the creation of the WP:en article of Asselineau, we enter into the realm of cross-wiki disruption (as it is quite clear that a WP:en article will serve to create others on other wikis, and to try to force the re-creation on WP:fr). Now, do you see anything wrong about being helped by contributors from the original Wiki when there is a cross-wiki disruption? No, of course! Such cross-wiki help is generally managed by very seasonned users, active on both wikis or on meta....ie sysops, quite often. What is the problem with that? Sipahoc (talk) 20:55, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The rules for notability are significantly different from one language Wikipedia to the next and no language Wikipedia should tell another what articles it should or should not have. In this manner, some articles will be allowed in one Wikipedia without being in the others. For example, Japanese wikipedia is far more strict about such things than we are (and yet is almost entirely pop culture articles for some reason). I would expect all of you on French wikipedia would highly object to a number of English wikipedians going over to French wikipedia to vote to delete an article that was deleted here on English wikipedia, would you not? SilverserenC 21:39, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- delete He doesn't meet the notability criteria of WP:POLITICIAN and even not the general notability guideline. The few references in newspapers articles are merely carnet information and cannot be regarded as sources allowing to create an article on Mr. Asselineau. --Lebob (talk) 14:24, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Really? You maybe skipped the 3 first line of Wikipedia:Notability. I quote it here for you "On Wikipedia, notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a topic can have its own article. Information on Wikipedia must be verifiable; if no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, then it should not have a separate article.

And to reach a consensus, me and Lebob need to discuss to understand what are the reasons and root cause for his deletion vote. These reasons, only Lebob can explain. However, if you keep answering instead of him, we might think that you think exactly the same. So is there any French Wiki admins point of view that is coming from the French wikipedia administrators' noticeboard?

- I would like not to answer, but your factual inaccuracies might deceive the admin who will close this AfD, so I have to. It is true that Gede and myself are admins on :fr Wikipédia, as far as I know, Lebob and Sipahoc are not. As can be seen through their contributions, they have a common field of interest on :en, that is politics in Belgium.

- Plot theory is the last argument of those who have none. Do you really want to have us to believe that the sysops on :fr have ploted against FA for some reasons ? The story is much simpler: FA is a just a nobody who's tried desperatly to promote himself on :fr and failed. As far as I'm concerned, I'm a contributor here (though not very active, lately). I created a couple of articles, contributed to many more, and given my opinion on AfD where it could be useful (because I had some insights on the debated issues). And that's just what I'm doing here. Gede (talk) 16:58, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Repeating the same thing again and again does not make it true. The source supposed to be coming from the "well-known French newspaper" Le Figaro comes from the website lefigaro.fr from this newspaper, and we have no proof that the text linked by this source has ever been printed in the paper edition of this newspaper. Incidentally, the comment of Brilliantine is not about number, but about depth. French Tourist (talk) 07:03, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not interested in the number of sources, I am interested in the depth of coverage shown by the sources. They are all very brief, nothing more than one or two sentences relating to Asselineau at best (most of them are passing mentions), which is certainly not enough to demonstrate any kind of notability. Seriously, if these were our standards we'd have 10,000+ articles on local councillors in England. Brilliantine (talk) 10:39, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Interesting point of view. And where is the rule / recommendation mentioning that sources should be at least 5, 10, 20 lines to be valid? Maybe you can help us to find? --Lawren00 (talk) 14:34, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't consider the coverage to be "significant" as required by WP:GNG. Also see Note 5 on that page - "Moreover, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements, announcements columns, and minor news stories are all examples of coverage that may not actually support notability when examined, despite their existence as reliable sources." Brilliantine (talk) 17:52, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- So your point is that the coverage is not "significant" which bring us to the Wikipedia:GNG#cite_note-0 where they give 2 examples to make us understand the meaning of significance. The example to show insignificance is a mention of half a line in a 138 lines article . Brought in percentage, it is 0.4% of the article. However, here, source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4, I bring 4 articles where Asselineau is 100% the topic of the article. So the significance as defined in the WP:GNG is met. --Lawren00 (talk) 23:35, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the Note 5 that I quoted above makes it quite clear that "announcement columns and minor news stories", which all of these Les Echos sources are, do not necessarily confer notability. Brilliantine (talk) 00:56, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I see. So your point was not about the "significant coverage" that is proven (and refers to note 1) but the "presumption" of notability in note 5 which says "Moreover, not all coverage in reliable sources constitutes evidence of notability for the purposes of article creation; for example, directories and databases, advertisements,'announcements columns, and minor news stories". So here, Source 1 or again here source 2, you can find articles that are not announcements columns, and minor news stories that are evidence of Asselineau's notability for the purposes of article creation. --Lawren00 (talk) 02:36, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think significant coverage is proven and don't consider the announcements columns and minor news stories to be of any significance whatsoever. The other sources are just passing mentions. So, all of the sources are either "announcement columns and minor news stories" or they are trivial passing mentions and for that reason, he cannot be presumed to be notable. Brilliantine (talk) 04:39, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Dear Brilliantine, thank you for your answer. The Wikipedia:GNG#cite_note-0 shown what is an insignificant coverage. It's half a sentence in a 138 lines article, 0,4% of the article. For instance, the article about Asselineau in Libération is mentioning about him and his activity in 124 words out of 622, which means 20% of the article directly on François Asselineau. But I know what you can answer and the debate can continue Does 20% of an article is enough to be a valid source? And we can go on and on on each details of the recommendations: What part of Le Monde's article can be considered as valid for being called "source"? What is a minor news? From how many lines a news can be considered as a news and not an announcement? How to be sure that an article publish on Liberation.fr is also published in the hard-copy of the newspaper? Debates will never finish. Moreover, we will never reach a consensus if we try to agree on mathematical definitions of each recommendations. I think that by going into such details, we forget to look at the big picture and answer to the real question. Do I have enough notable (from famous Newspaper) and verifiable (facts that can be directly sourced) pieces of information to build an article that is long enough to understand who is this person? Every single piece of information in this article is sourced and the article has a quiet good size hasn't it? That is why I see this article fully valid. I would agree with you with a deletion if the article was a 5 lines article and no other information could be brought from notable and verifiable source. But here, I see a quiet decent article in term of size made of notable and verifiable sources. --Lawren00 (talk) 03:50, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As you seem to think all of these sources are supporting your cause, I incidentally point that the second Liberation entry [28] is a page of electoral results with no human comment inserted, only a list of figures.

- Speedy keep and close The nominator may certainly have been acting in good faith when he sent this article directly to AFD when it was just three hours old without first tagging it for concerns nor speaking with the new author about how it might be improved.[32] But the fact that so MANY reliable sources were easily found [33] makes me request that he give more consideration to the instructions at WP:BEFORE prior to nominating anything in the future, specially as WP:Deletion policy explains the valid grounds for deletion, and strongly encourages that if the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing. It was quite easy to take the nomimated stub and expand and source it. And I hope the newb author has not been chased away. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:18, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This page was previously nominated for deletion in 2005 because of concerns about notability. The article has not been expanded in the intervening years and contains no references, which appear to be difficult to find. In particular, I have not been able to locate any accounts of the subject's scientific work, apart from original journal articles. It was mentioned in the previous discussion that the subject was president of the Greek national federation of university professors (POSDEP), but I have only been able to find two brief mentions of this in the press.

- As far as I can tell, the BBC article is about the same as the two English-language sources I found: it contains one quote by the subject acting as a spokesman for his organization, but doesn't provide much information on which to base a biographical article about the man himself. At best it corroborates that he was chairman of a federation of academic staff, but I am doubtful that this is sufficient for inclusion in Wikipedia. As for his university web page, this does not distinguish him from the hundreds of thousands of other academics with similar pages. Will Orrick (talk) 23:09, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- WP:GNG has no "president of a national federation of teachers" clause. WP:PROF maybe does if you could establish the importance of this national federation. What WP:GNG does require is nontrivial coverage in multiple reliably-published third-party sources. It's essential to have something we can say about the subject that we can verify by looking at the sources, and currently we don't have anything about him that is properly sourced in that way: we have only his self-published faculty profile and a couple of news stories that quote him but don't say anything about him. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:03, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Have added more references from Kathimerini (top newspaper in Greece) and from Greek Sky TV's online publication Skai.gr. Multiple reliable third-party news sources meets WP:GNG with ease. There are also multiple references at Greek government websites where P.O.S.D.E.P. interfaces with the Greek government (do I really need to start listing those as well?). Here is the official website of P.O.S.D.E.P..

Nipsonanomhmata (Talk) 13:10, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm still not convinced. The new sources still only mention him trivially (as a source for a quote, or with a single line stating that he was elected to the post) or not at all (the last one, from Oct 2004).

- Delete - I've been watching the article and the debate from the start and I'm in agreement with David Eppstein. From WP:BASIC: trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability. All of the sources given are quotes from Trikalinos. Not one independent of the subject gives any information beyond his name and title. Furthermore, being the head of a union of scholars is not the same as being a member of a major academic body, so I don't think he qualifies for inclusion under WP:PROF criteria 3 either. Sailsbystars (talk) 13:18, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- To be honest, I had not even bothered to look at WP:PROF because he easily meets WP:GNG. But now you come to mention it. He actually meets WP:PROF too.

And he has as the President of P.O.S.D.E.P. Nipsonanomhmata (Talk) 14:23, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Being head of POSDEP, which is concerned with employment conditions for academics, does not establish notability as a scholar in the way that being president of a university or head of a major academic society would, so WP:PROF doesn't apply. I am not sure what Wikipedia's standards are for inclusion of heads of labor unions, but it seems untenable to try to maintain biographies of every past president of every national federation of every profession. In my opinion, the main problem with over-broad criteria for inclusion is that secondary sources simply aren't available on which to base a substantive biography. A bio page can languish for years with few or no editors watching or updating it, and with nobody able or willing to assess the accuracy and significance of its content.

Nominating Comment I initially nominated it for speedy delete due to it reading like a joke. Menarche is a woman's first period.

It is not a voting system but a way to come to a consensus. This actually gives you more time to perfect the article.

- This doesn't appear to be a hoax, exactly, but based on what I've found so far, I doubt that the Paul Menard Empire is notable enough to sustain its own article. There's a bunch of stuff about this goofy fan club in non-reliable sources--blogs, bulletin boards, SB.com, Urban Dictionary, and the like--but as for reliable sources, so far I have found only one brief reference to the Empire: three sentences in today's (3/18/2011) Birmingham News[34]. That might be enough to justify a reference to the club at Paul Menard, but not its own article, and certainly not an article for "Menarch". Unless more reliable sources turn up, I have to !vote delete on this article. Maybe a userfy would be OK to allow the Menard folks to dig for more reliable sources, which may actually be in the offing. --Arxiloxos (talk) 05:17, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Another source: today there's a column at NASCAR.com entitled "Menard's empire continues to grow with success", starting with this: "If only every month was Menarch. . . . Yes, Menard has his own fan club called The Paul Menard Empire. They even have their own Facebook page, where they proclaim the current month on the calendar as Menarch in Paul's honor and boast that their favorite driver 'also possesses the most awesome facial hair in all of NASCAR.'" However, I still think any references to this fan group and its tongue-in-cheek support belong in Menard's article, not a separate one.--Arxiloxos (talk) 01:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Would suggest redirecting this to menarche as a plausible misspelling. NASCAR fans are unfamiliar with that word, it seems; if they knew it, they likely would have chosen a different name.

This has the look of self-promotion. There are no independent sources. A quick Google doesn't bring up anything useful and substantial. He'd be notable if he was party leader, but the president is not the leader. He's basically the head administrator. He'd be notable if this was for a federal party, but it's not. He doesn't hold public office. He holds a position that nobody else even sought at the time (only half a year ago). Now, I do think many party presidents, even at a provincial level are notable. But this person, based on the current version of this article, is not. Rob (talk) 00:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Just because he is a young leader does not mean that his information should not be available on wikipedia. The information is readily available on the Party's Official Website and as the complainant openly stated "party presidents, even at a provincial level are notable". This one user has attacked several Alberta Liberal wikipedia pages and clearly has an agenda to keep them off of wikipedia. User:Vinsher
- I said "many" were notable. This isn't one. I haven't "attacked" anything. I made a page for an eventual Liberal MLA, and added to a number. I've nominated for deletion articles related to different parties. This isn't a partisan question. Unfortunately, no party's web site is considered a reliable source. I suggest, if you want to keep this article, you actively seek, and add, independent sources that cover him. For example, a story in a newspaper about him as the primary topic. --Rob (talk) 18:19, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It's unusual that you provide no conflicting information or deny that he is the President of the Alberta Liberal Party - a noteworthy position whether you personally deem it to be or not. His photo is in the national newspaper for his work as the President of the Alberta Liberal Party and the article contains independant news sources and referenced his charity work. If there is something factually incorrect, please provide proof.User:Vinsher —Preceding undated comment added 21:39, 17 March 2011 (UTC).[reply]
- It's the other way around. Those wishing inclusion must provide proof of notability. You need to provide independent reliable sources that show substantial coverage of the subject. All the claims in the article need appropriate citations. Sites connected to the subject aren't considered independent, and therefore, not reliable. If he's been covered by a national newspaper, or anywhere independent and reliable, please include citations in the article. According to the general notability guideline passing mention is not sufficient to establish notability. The National Post article said nothing about him; it was just a photo of him standing in the background. The FFWD article makes minimal mention of him, as the article was principally about David Swann. --Rob (talk) 00:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- No, he is *NOT* the head of the party. He is the president. David Swann is the leader (for the moment), and therefore the true head of the party. The leader is the most powerful and significant person in the party, both inside and outside of the Legislature. The leader is a essentially a candidate for being premiere in any election, normally sits in the legislature, or seeks to. The president holds an administrative task, that is legal and clerical in nature. The president does not hold nor seek any public office. They have no special legal powers. If they appear in the media, it's as mere spokesperson for the party. --Rob (talk) 19:26, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete As Rob points out, the president of Canadian provincial party is not a leadership position, but an administrative one. I would be very hard pressed to name the president of the prov. party I vote for. As such, we need significant coverage in secondary sources, which we don't have and I could not find. The sourcing doesn't meet WP:BASIC, and it may not in the future. Of course, Mr. Ambtman may go on to bigger things, but doesn't meet the bar at this point. As a side note, this article also stinks of self-promotion. The Interior (Talk) 20:08, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- The vast majority of party presidents at the provincial level in Canada don't have their own articles, and notability on Wikipedia is a matter of substantial coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, not a matter of just being able to prove that he exists by pointing to a few passing mentions of his name in coverage of other things. And furthermore, I've never known Rob to harbour any particular bias against the Alberta Liberal Party — in fact, while I could be wrong, I always thought he was a member of it (and whether he actually is or not, the fact that I had that perception at all certainly proves that he doesn't harbour any obvious bias against them.) What I have known him to be, rather, is a strong and persuasive advocate of respecting and following Wikipedia's notability and inclusion policies regardless of what party a political figure is or isn't associated with.

A championship-winning minor league manager certainly could be notable, if there's some coverage about him in reliable sources.

- Keep the guy has a bunch of books published --MoonLichen (talk) 03:15, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep. He is listed as a bestselling author by the New York Times. He has been interviewed by a number of websites and blogs as an author and separately as a singer. He easily meets General Notability. Nipsonanomhmata (Talk) 12:04, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Do you have a citation for being a best selling author? I'd be rather surprised as he has only one released book, and it wasn't a best seller as far as I can determine. And being interviwed in blogs doesn't establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 12:24, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Response. We need to be careful about mechanically applying standards like "blog coverage doesn't establish notability" in fields like f/sf, which have a long and recognized tradition of "amateur" publishing by professional writers and recognized commentators. Coverage in John Scalzi's blog, for example, (Scalzi is president of SFWA) probably would contribute to notability. More generally, while blog coverage can't normally be used to source biographical details, especially in BLPs, it can be used to demonstrate peer recognition/reputation under WP:CREATIVE, which quite clearly would demonstrate notability. We have to be careful, of course, about walled gardens, indiscriminate backpatting, and purely promotional comments about friends, but that's routine editorial judgment.

The result was merge to Jonny Quest. MoonLichen's comment is discounted because it makes no sense. Sandstein 07:33, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article is completely unreferenced, it has no sources to establish the notability, fails WP:GNG and WP:PLOT. JJ98 (Talk) 01:32, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep just because something is in a cartoon doesn't mean it's not real --MoonLichen (talk) 03:17, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
- Comment: If it fails our guidelines, especially that one notability, it should be deleted regardless of its reality.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:38, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge Information should be included into the main Johnny Quest article. Also the article reads poorly Zin is the first word in every paragraph. With some work it would make a good addition to the main JQ article. Golgofrinchian (talk) 03:18, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I think these articles just got deleted because there was no one to contest them who was better at finding sources than the Deletors. I am not even going to bother showing you the sources; they are there. You do some work for a change. I already added two Google Books sources to the article, there are literally (and I do not use that word lightly) scores of references in the Google News links above, for both the Dr Zin of the 1960s Jonny Quest series (sources going back to 1964 and 1965), and his appearances in the series and movies that followed.

- Merge per Golgofrinchian, unless sources to establish notability can be found. Harry Blue5 (talk) 11:00, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
