The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was speedy delete per WP:CSD#G7: the author blanked the page with edit summary "I apologize for not understanding the rules before posting here. I wish you all a great day." (non-admin closure) — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 19:11, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OctoMS

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

No objective evidence of notability, and more or less spam. The product is made by RJV Creations; unsurprisingly, the article is by single-purpose account User:Rjvcreations. - Biruitorul ^Talk 23:14, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1. The project/product in itself is notable; it is a new and innovative PHP framework; the article is objective and no advertising "elevator-pitch" lines were inserted at any point. 2. The product is made by RJV Creations Corp; the article is written by an user with the same name; would it have been less of an issue if 10 people with different accounts would have been paid to write and improve this article? Is the name of the author relevant to sustain claims of SPAM? I think not. 3. Wikipedia is no place for advertising. The product itself is the first result in Google Search for the keyword "octoms". I (we) have no intention of using this forum to attract visibility/users/attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjvcreations (talk • contribs) 09:14, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To Rjvcreations: Wikipedia has strict policies on self-promotion and advertising, which you can find at WP:COI and WP:UN. Unfortunately, your edits of the article violate those policies. To answer your question, whether 10 people have been paid to improve this article, or you have been paid to approve this article, makes no difference and is equally in violation of Wikipedia policies.

You also need to read this to find out what notability means on Wikipedia; the term has a specific meaning. To show that the subject is notable you need to find references to OctoMS in sources such as computer magazines, computer news websites (the sort that employ writers and editors), scientific papers, or books. If you can find references, we will not delete the article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:49, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bridge bomb

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

Fails notability guidelines tremendously. I think the topic itself, a rebranding of A-ok only used in one college, is inherently unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, and probably doesn't warrant a redirect. No hits on Google Books, Google News, or Google News archives (I used the search term "Bridge bomb" "Newbridge College"). Although I don't think this meets any of the CSD criteria, I'd recommend closing this one early per WP:IAR and WP:SNOW. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 22:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lives Of The Wandering (Fictional Book)

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

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

Seems to fail the general notability guideline; a fictional book mentioned in only one short story. ~~I would have redirected it to the short story's article, but the story doesn't seem to have one.~~ (The same author has since created a page on the story). The article seems to be an example of fancruft and a large portion of it was lifted straight from the short story in which the book is mentioned (the author has since removed that part). A Google Books search for "Lives of the Wandering" "a short break" brings up nothing, as do Google News and Google News archives searches. The judging by the author's username (Sambrooks123456), he has a conflict of interest as the author of the short story (Sam Brooks) in which this book is mentioned. In conclusion, I don't think there's a sufficient case to have an encyclopedia article on this topic. I have also nominated A Short Break (Story) (by the same author with the same conflict of interest) for deletion. My fruitless attempts to find sources: [1], [2]. [3] actually results in a hit, but it's an irrelevant false positive. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 21:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The obvious conflict of interest is a problem but more fundamentally, this fails to meet the notability requirements. Pichpich (talk) 22:04, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete If those Google searches return nothing at all, then the subjects of this AfD do not exist outside the mind of User:Sambrooks123456. As such, both should be speedily deleted as hoaxes. →Σ τ c. 22:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They do exist, as can be seen with through this link provided by the author in one of the articles. However, they're utterly non-notable and haven't been discussed anywhere else. Chris the Paleontologist (talk • contribs) 22:10, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

JetBlue Airways Flight 191

WP:NOTNEWS. Absolutely no long term affect. ...William 19:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Aviation-related deletion discussions....William 19:53, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Transportation-related deletion discussions....William 19:53, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, on account of knowledge of background and results of similar cases, and a dash of ignoring the rules - and NOT because of the date. =) The long and short is simple: I've never heard of a pilot "snapping", as it were, in quite this fashion (which, naturally, doesn't mean it hasn't happened before), so as such, it strikes me as a unique enough scenario to warrant some notability. On account of WP:NOTNEWS, given the uniqueness of this, I'm not inclined to apply it quite yet. All this combined makes for a weak rationale on my part, therefore, weak keep. Yes, I fully understand that my args won't hold water by themselves. Long and short - let's let this ride out a bit before deletion. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 20:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment You never heard of pilots who snapped snapping. How about Northwest Airlink Flight 5719? Silk Air Flight 185? Egypt Air 990? Royal Air Maroc Flight 630? Those were all crashes where the pilot snapped or had serious issues above the neck. It's notable when they actually bring harm to others....William 21:26, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Really, I had not. At least, until you pointed it out. =) --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:42, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral: While this fails WP:AIRCRASH and is likely to fail WP:GNG a la WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, I agree that it might be wise to let this play out before jumping at the delete button - it is a rather singular incident, and following the advice at WP:RAPID might be prudent. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think this would meet WP:GNG. Lugnuts (talk) 06:53, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Merging with an appropriate article on the general phenomenon of flight crew going crazy might be the best solution, as I don't see much sign of this story having legs or getting international attention (though deletion seems a bit premature). I don't know if there's an article already existing on the general phenomenon, or an official/common aviation term for this. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:15, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I happened to look it up here on wikipedia for reference reasons myself which is an anecdote of 1 regarding its utility for this purpose. The story also seems to be picking up a bit in noteworthiness with recent coverage by Time. that said, inclusion in a larger page of air incidents would be acceptable. Avalongod (talk) 20:29, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This definetly meets,with regards to long term effects, in time there will be enough changes and sources to keep this article. Airplanegod (talk) 14:20, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - just reexamined the article. There are questions to accuracy beyond speculation that Lufthansa's sale of stake was more than coincidence to the incident, but beyond that, the sources presented bring it well beyond up to par with WP:GNG. Moreover, to counter the opening argument, there is speculation that this will have a long term effect. I'd like to reiterate my keep !vote accordingly, and motion for snow close at this point. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 17:59, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This incident will most likely have some long term effects which are not known at this time. I think that the almost instant nomination for deletion was unnecessary and that some time should be given for the article to develop and the long term effects of the incident to be better understood before considering deletion of the article.Andrew Kurish (talk) 00:42, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just as a note, "will most likely" falls under WP:CRYSTAL, and three days is not "almost instant". - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 23:46, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I agree with Bushranger's analysis in his neutral vote above, and I think the deference here goes to keeping the article. Regards, Lord Roem (talk) 04:36, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Simple keep. A rather noteworthy incident that warrants an article. It has several published media sources, which qualifies for notability requirements. The way it was written at first was a mess, now it is better written, but could use some more expansion, hence the stub tag. Tinton5 (talk) 06:31, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Besides easily passing WP:GNG, it's not only willful ignorance to presume such a case will be quickly forgotten, Time published an extensive article of how this and other cases will have long term effects on US pilot training, screening monitoring laws and procedures.[4]--Oakshade (talk) 21:42, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While I do not read Hindi (or do I? Let me look at that again... nope!) I should note that simply looking at that link, it's too brief to be anything more than a passing mention, and not the sort of deep coverage that the notability guidelines call for, no matter how prominent the site (and I'm not judging its prominence, because unless something has changed in the last 20 seconds, I still don't read Hindi.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons for deletion

Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to, the following (subject to the condition that improvement or deletion of an offending section, if practical, is preferable to deletion of an entire page):

Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)

→This article is about an advertisement but is not advertising

Kj plma (talk) 05:39, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A business park is not an advertising subject, no. Also the objection is not the advert but there is no indication of notability. Widefox (talk) 10:06, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can find no coverage about this business park in reliable sources. Al I can find are some rel estate listings. -- Whpq (talk) 16:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Hammons

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

Non-notable politician. Recreation of a deleted page which went through AFD. Never held an "international, national or sub-national office." Only three news sources in the article can be found, and Bill is the subject of only one of those, the other two have him as a passing mention. The article where he is the subject is a local news report on his local election campaign, doesn't satisfy significant press coverage. The rest of the available sources are primary sources not reliable sources Coffeepusher (talk) 15:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The subject is Chairman of a national American political party with members in 33 states listed on its website. The Unity Party was officially recognized by the State of Colorado as a direct result of subject's run for Congress. Both party and party's chairman are significant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Houston1969 (talk • contribs) 17:44, 1 April 2012 (UTC) — Houston1969 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

none of those credentials satisfies Wikipedia's notability standards for politicians. Would you be able to demonstrate that A) he has held a international, national, or local office, or B) that he is a major local political figure WHO HAS ALSO received SIGNIFICANT press coverage. As of now I do not believe that he fills these qualifications.Coffeepusher (talk) 17:54, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

it is also worth noting that the unity party has had one chairman since it's conception, that being him, the founder of the party. this makes the position significantly less notable.Coffeepusher (talk) 18:03, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that article has been cleaned up in terms of links.

Subject of course hasn't held public office. The question is definition of "significant" coverage ... subject has appeared on TV in same segment as politician who is now Governor of Colorado, and has been mentioned in media beyond Colorado. At the end of the day, this is the leader of a party with a reach well beyond one state, and this has to be taken into consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Houston1969 (talk • contribs) 18:05, 1 April 2012 (UTC) — Houston1969 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Wikipedia's notability guidelines states "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material" these sources need to be independent of the subject. As of now I only see one local source that qualifies and is strictly about his defunct campaign, the "out of state" sources you mention have a one line reference to him and a quote in a "guy on the street" style. Not enough sources to establish notabilityCoffeepusher (talk) 18:13, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, notability has already been established. This article has been on Wikipedia for years. A past campaign is still a campaign, and a mention in the Denver Post outside a political context certainly says something.

If news websites don't properly maintain their archives, that's irrelevant to the fact that the subject remains notable. Once notable, always notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Houston1969 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

actually you recreated the article after it was already deleted, and based on the sources and information you put in that first edit there is a very probable conflict of interest. You defiantly work for the Unity party in Boulder, Co. (you logged out for some of your edits giving us your IP adress) in close proximity to Bill, or you are Bill. Now you are correct that once someone is notable, they will always be notable...except Bill has not ever been notable. There is also no time limit on AFD's, and time on wikipedia is irrelevant.Coffeepusher (talk) 02:20, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (as previous nominator) The article does not demonstrate that the subject has gained sufficient notability since the last debate. Still fails WP:POLITICIAN. A whole lot of sources amount to supporting single facts; good for referencing the article, but not good for passing WP:GNG. A bunch of the rest are primary; leaving us with just one local news bio piece, which isn't enough.

As for nominating after years, I say the shoe is on the other foot. If, after several years, the article still doesn't show reliable sources sufficient to pass GNG, it never will. gnfnrf (talk) 21:19, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

UtherSRG, I agree with you 100% and I would love to punch this "delete" as I believe that the first indication that a subject may be notable is if a neutral editor writes an article on it.

Harold J. Morowitz

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

While plausibly notable at first, a bit of digging hits issues: he doesn't appear to have acted on his own, but as part of a large group of people for all the notable events the article connects him to. Beyond that, the sources are just terrible. And, finally, the article was created by sockmaster, group account, and likely paid editor, Expewikiwriter (that's an AN thread, forgive me if it gets archived during the AfD). I strongly suspect all claims of notability are highly, highly inflated, and that the person in question is, at best minimally notable. However, the main issue is Wikipedia:CSD#G11 - this is advertising, which would require a fundamental rewrite to turn it into a workable article, and by keeping it, we encourage paid editing. 86.** IP (talk) 12:01, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

...And I just realised this is about the worst day to start a serious AfD. 86.** IP (talk) 12:03, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I declined speedy g11 because of the definition in the criteria - which is more detailed than the unfortunately truncated version on the tag itself: g11 is for "Pages that are exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note: An article about a company or a product which describes its subject from a neutral point of view does not qualify for this criterion. "Promotion" does not necessarily mean commercial promotion: anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organisation, a point of view, etc.". This page is, to my mind, neutrally worded and not liable to CSD g11. This doesn't stop it being promotional in intent, or lacking in notability, or anything else, which is why I suggested AfD. Peridon (talk) 12:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, even if it's not CSD-level promotion, CSD is hardly the limits of what can be deleted, it just sets some outlines. This article - with its exaggeration, misleading laguage, and the like, can presumably be promotional enough to AfD, without being CSD able, just like an article acan be not clearly non-notable enough for CSD, but still be deleted at AfD. Though I do think the notability is also highly in doubt, once you trim the gross exaggeration. 86.** IP (talk) 12:20, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

CSD is basically a time and space saving procedure. It's for getting rid of some of the more b***** obvious misfits. Things not suitable for CSD (products rather than the company, downloadable software rather than the website itself, Aprilis imbecilus rather than Jacqueline the Ninja Hamster) go to PROD, and/or AfD. I prefer AfD, but PROD involves less work if uncontested. Peridon (talk) 12:44, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, but my point (perhaps not well-explained) was to note that advertising is an issue worth discussing at AfD, nothing more. 86.** IP (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Doubtful notability, and somewhat promotional. (Incidentally, I don't agree with Peridon: it is not, in my opinion, neutrally written. However, it is not blatantly promotional that I would have nominated it for speedy deletion.) 79.123.72.60 (talk) 19:48, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have half a mind to agree with Colapeninsula, but I'm afraid that the taint of Sock Puppetry should not be rewarded with the article staying. If the subject is notable, a legitimate author will eventually write an article. No need to reward sockpuppetry and possibly payola with allowing there works to stand. Thought experiment: we allow the article to stand, the paid author gets paid, gets a new internet provider, gets a new account, and does it again. Not good. Thought experiment: we delete the article, paid author does not get paid, goes away. Or gets paid, but clients then complain that the article about them is no longer there and wants their money back.

Morowitz is a giant in the field of origin of life. Removing his entry would simply be stupid. I have no idea who wrote this, but it sounds pretty accurate according to what I know.

Keep per Colapeninsula. To illustrate the point, this in Science has >500 cites and this in PNAS has >400. That isn't something that I come across often. WP:PROF isn't the clearest of guidelines, but I think that shows a "significant impact" (PROF #1). According to this he is/was also editor-in-chief of Complexity (PROF 8). Whilst the article was likely written by a paid editor using socks, that isn't a reason to delete the article - if necessary we can stubify it until an independent editor can rewrite it. SmartSE (talk) 15:46, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You may well be right; though I do think stubifying a bit is needed (or at least some very careful source checking) - in other articles I reviewed, the paid editor had a strong tendency to exaggerate. 86.** IP (talk) 15:48, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also just checked factiva and found many more potential sources: New Scientist called him "an expert on the thermodynamics of living systems" the Washington Post called him "another prominent origins researcher" - both are only in passing, but they show that this is somebody that we should definitely have an article about. SmartSE (talk) 20:47, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per SmartSE. I only spent a few minutes investigating, but found an acceptable number of reliable academic sources that demonstrate notability within his field. That the prose tends toward puffery or exaggeration is a separate issue, and can be dealt with by copyediting. - LuckyLouie (talk) 18:15, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep of course, as clearly notable. There is however something wrong here, and it is that this method of having an article written was needed for a person of his distinction. I assume it was someone acting for him who commissioned it, not the subject himself, but whoever originated it would have done much better to simply ask the appropriate wikiproject or any of the people like myself who works on this kind of article. No one who is notable need pay or should pay to be included in Wikipedia. DGG ( talk ) 04:03, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

X-Day (Church of the SubGenius)

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

This page is an advertisement for an event that has an annual attendance of only 100 people (as admitted on their own web page), yet attempts to compare itself to Burning Man, which has an attendance of 50,000. The links are all to the group's own web site and one "free press release" site. A Google search for "X-Day" produces links to the group's own site, this Wikipedia page, Malcolm X, and a Japanese manga. Any club can produce an attendance of 100 people on any "event" night, and we don't have Wikipedia pages for every single nightclub out there. This article does not meet Wikipedia's notability standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TeamEquestria (talk • contribs) 11:03, 1 April 2012

Keep I came here today to look up some details on X-Day. If I did, then it's probable that many others have done or will. It's bona-fide encyclopedic content, but really needs some proper sources & citations. Wayne Hardman (talk) 07:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This is encyclopedic content about an event that has been mentioned in many newspapers and magazines over the years, as well as on television and all over the Internet. When you Google "X-Day" you get 317,000,000 results, most of them being unrelated ones, but that is because other people have used the term X-Day besides the Church of the SubGenius (for instance, the X-Day manga, which is completely unrelated). X-Day is also the most important event in the theology of the Church of the SubGenius, and is mentioned in virtually all SubGenius publications.

What this article needs is more citations of the many times X-Day has been mentioned in the media over the years, in order to prove its notability. However, it is difficult to do an Internet search to find these citations; for instance, most newspapers only started posting their articles online a few years ago, and it is hard to figure out the right Internet search terms to find legitimate sources that actually relate to this topic while bypassing everything that is unrelated or not a reliable source, especially given the 317 million Google search results for X-Day. But I am certain that plenty of reliable independent sources to prove notability DO exist; they are simply hard to find on the Internet because of all the unrelated information that comes up when you do an Internet search. I would recommend not only that this article be kept, but that everyone debating here, both pro-and-anti-deletion, thoroughly search the Internet for reliable, independent sources about X-Day, and add any that they can find to this article.

Furthermore, I do not think that X-Day ought to be considered as merely an "event" and judged by the notability guideline for events, as it is far more than an event to those involved in the Church of the SubGenius. As a historical example, the crucifixion of Jesus Christ is considered a very important event in the religion of Christianity, but it is far more than just a mere event, and is central to the theology of that religion. Even though there are not any reliable historical records of Jesus being crucified from any independent sources at the time, outside of the Bible, Jesus's crucifixion is still considered very notable. While the Church of the SubGenius is a much smaller religion, X-Day has just as great a theological importance to followers of the Church of the SubGenius, even though most of them do not attend the annual celebrations in person. Every ordained SubGenius minister is promised eternal salvation on X-Day, regardless of whether or not they show up to the annual celebrations, and most SubGenii are too busy with other things in their lives, too short on money, or too afraid of what might happen to them if they show up to attend in person. X-Day also has quite a similarity theologically to the Christian Rapture, involving the faithful being all saved at once, and everyone else being Left Behind. And the Rapture is not mentioned in the Bible even once, yet it is notable, as a theological concept, even though there are no records of the Rapture ever taking place as an event. If the Rapture were judged by the notability guideline for events, it would not be notable, since it has not even happened and there are no records of it happening. But the Rapture is notable theologically, and meets the general notability guideline, which is why there is a Wikipedia page on it. Therefore, since it is not just an event but also a matter of religious theology, the notability guideline used in this dispute should be the general notability guideline, not the notability guideline for events. Using a different notability guideline for this than the one used on the Rapture would be treating different religions differently and violate the neutral point of view policy.

In conclusion, none of the criteria at Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion are met. The only possible criterion which could be applied to this article is "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed", yet nobody has done a thorough attempt to find reliable sources, only very brief attempts that didn't even go past the first page of Google search results. --Yetisyny (talk) 08:47, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: A Google News archives search for "subgenius x-day" finds articles in the Washington Post, St. Petersburg Times and Chicago Tribune. Notability is clearly met. The present state of the article not having these sources is not a reason to regard the event as non-notable. MartinPoulter (talk)

The result was kept, early closure. This is a well-referenced article for a distinctly named populated place, one even assigned a unique ZIP code (48729). The only advocates for any other outcome, including the nominator, have been involved in, and blocked for, sockpuppetry. Non-admin action; technically this is a snow close, but if that makes anyone nervous, call it a criterion #1 (nominator advocated merger, which is not a deletion outcome) or #2 (nomination obviously not in good faith) speedy keep instead.

Reason KaseyVincent (talk) 09:50, 1 April 2012 (UTC) I Relive that the information on the page is too minimal to require a entire article. I think in should be merged with Novesta Township. The page as of right now, has been attacked too much and the information is trivial at best.[reply]

~~Delete~~ I think that the page does not offer enough sources to make it stand out from Novesta township. Look at the page, it doesn't even mention a population total. Yes, any populated place is important, but the page itself looks like it is better served as apart of Novesta Township. Most of the sources on the "town" is only about the location of it. The town has not government and is apart of Novesta juridically. The weather information is that of near by Flint, MI, not Deord, and he source takes you to a website TheWeatherUnderground, which does not provide information on Deford's Climate or provide statistics. I did not nominate this article because I didn't like it, it was that the page itself doesn't not need to have its own article. Not only is all this relevant to the problem at hand, but Deford's history was originally on Novesta's article and removed and placed on this article.KaseyVincent (talk) 21:59, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have to agree with KaseyVincent. She makes a valid point. If you look back far enough on Novesta's Wikipedia page, you'll see that the history of Deford was actually taken Novesta's page. I do see what Toddst1 and Dru of Id have to say, but the references stated on page are minimal for a town and really only tell you where the town is located, not the stats or population of the town itself. Given that Deford is the only town in Novesta Township and is too small to have a recorded population, I think the article is best served as part of Novesta Township. 66.211.81.156 (talk) 22:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, distinct named populated places, regardless of whether they are incorporated and have their own local governments, merit their own articles. This source alone verifies for me that Deford has or had such a status. At most, it would be merged and redirected to the township or county article; there is indisputably verifiable information, and it is unacceptable that Deford, Michigan would not even be a search term, therefore deletion is not a valid option at all and per WP:ATD this AFD should never have been started. postdlf (talk) 23:29, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I have taken that into account and opened a discussion on deford's talk page with my argument that it should be merged with Novesta Township. I'm not arguing that the pages sources are incredible or unreliable, but It fails to meet the criteria that it should be a stand alone page. It does not provide any information that sets it apart from Novesta Township. With this in mind, I will advise you to make the rest of the comments on the articles talk page. I now understand that this article shouldn't be deleted. KaseyVincent (talk) 23:38, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ I disagree. All the infromation on the page is for the most part on Novesta Township's Wikipedia page. I do agree with postdlf about not correctly meeting the article for deletion polices but this page is so minimal that It offers not more insite to the town than what Novesta Township has already states. 66.211.81.156 (talk) 23:46, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge~~ While I do believe you are right, there are somethings like the town's history that can be incorporated into Novesta's page. I think that all out deletion of the article is no longer suitable for the situation at hand. I am leaning more towards merging the two pages. I would also like to note that the photo given for the Deford Christan Academy is false. I'm not sure if anyone else noticed that but just look the image up on google search and it takes you complete away from deford.

Delete, strongly. Article claims that this business is a leading call centre operator that also offers a variety of other business process outsourcing (BPO) and customer management outsourcing services, which apparently is the deliberately vague, evasive nonsense for "telemarketing and debt collection". References do not establish notability; the only one that really counts is the Economist story, which has a single sentence announcing that this business bought another in India. Other references are to announcements of routine transactions involving mergers and personnel hires, or to business directories.

Non-notable academic, deleted before by AFD, CSD-G4 declined presumably as not a close enough paraphrase of original article. Subject does not meet any of the criteria listed in Wikipedia:Notability (academics) or, indeed, WP:GNG. Recommend WP:SALT Catfish Jim and the soapdish 06:36, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it if its as per the Wikipedia policies to delete it. What I know about notability is that notability of researcher is through his published works and as per my knowledge, Journals etc normally do not cite references of a research paper by a non-notable person. If these are the Wikipedia policies, delete it immediately. And if you are considering to do a discussion, firstly cite all the sources which were added by me and other people, as I fetched them with a lot of hard work. Prakashpanwar (talk) 17:22, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Academic publications by themselves do not establish notability for in the sense it is used in Wikipedia. Please have a read of WP:GNG and WP:ACADEMIC. It is possible for a researcher to have published as first author in multiple, high-profile scientific journals, such as Nature and Science and still not satisfy notability guidelines. What is required are multiple sources that profile the academic himself/herself. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 08:04, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, WP:PROF #1 specifically prescribes notability on the basis of citations to one's work, regardless of any "sources that profile the academic" or where their work was published, and this has a very long precedential history here at academic's AfD. I don't know if this particular person passes on PROF#1, but will try to check. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 17:50, 2 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Delete. The version of WoS I have access to goes back to the 1970's and does not show any papers by this person. He was part of a multi-author 1957 paper in Biochem. J., which seems to have 13 citations according to NCBI. The article lists another paper, but Sankhala is not listed as an author here. There are a few other papers listed here, but none of this jumps out as an obvious clincher for any of WP:PROF. Given that there are no WP:RS for corresponding biographical info and no real claim to notability within the article, the case seems pretty clear-cut. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 18:06, 2 April 2012 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. A search in the Web of Science for "Sankhala R*" (that includes some other persons, but no matter) gives 7 publications, cited 123 times in total, [[h-index]) of 2. That indicates that the bulk of the citations come from 1 article, which is indeed the case (reference 2 in the biography): cited 117 times. There are 5 authors and Sankhala is neither the first or last, but just the second one. In all, way below what we usually accept here for a highly-cited field as biophysics/biochemistry (even taking into account that this person published in the 50s and 60s.

Well, The thing why I am stressed on this article subject is that it has a negative remark when applying for the Administratorship that your one article has been deleted. I saw this line in the biochemist's bio "I am an elected member of the above society since 1954". What I think notability is that when an article has been cited by different renowned journals, books,etc. Its not a layman thing. This is what I believe.

~~Weak delete~~. Redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1954. The best claim is "three time playmate". But there's effectively zero results aside from this.

There's no need to "delete". If not kept, we can redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1954 since she appeared twice that year.

The People's Choice (political party)

Non-notable political party. This local party has only ever received a tiny handful of votes, and has never had any elected candidates or come close to electing any. I can't find any coverage of it in reliable sources beyond the trivial. Robofish (talk) 00:49, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, more or less. This is an interesting, well-written and well-sourced article that is neutral in tone. Yet I can't help thinking that another wiki might provide a better home for this piece. As far as I can tell from the article, it doesn't meet the criteria of national scope or impact recommended at WP:ORG. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 11:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I am writing this in a pub in Croydon, I asked another Croydonian and we are agreed that the party is not notable. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:12, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A few comments for information: National scope missing maybe, but has contested national elections, albeit not from every seat in the nation but from a group of close constituencies. As for reliable sources, try the party's registration and annual returns as the Electoral Commission (which is as reliable as it gets!) and the Notice of Election etc issued by the Returning Officers for the elections - again, as reliable as it gets. Emeraude (talk) 14:28, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't dispute that the information in the article is true; only that the subject of it is notable by Wikipedia's standards. As WP:ORG says, 'An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.' Emphasis on significant coverage: trivial coverage in political databases is not enough. As for 'has contested national elections', its best result in a general election was in Croydon South in 2001, where it got 0.4% of the vote. In local elections, it did once get 453 votes in one ward, but even that amounts to only around 10% of the vote. We have to draw the line somewhere, and a party which has never elected even a single councillor is just not important enough to deserve an article. Robofish (talk) 17:45, 25 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I found this result from Google News in Japanese, but I'm not sure that it actually counts as reliable. There were a lot of promising Japanese refs from Google Books, but they were all either passing mentions, unavailable, or the snippet was so short that I could only guess at the information inside. I am thinking that there must be reviews in Japanese papers and magazines from the 1950s, but I can't verify this without going to the library to check. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 09:13, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This is a film that is rather regularly mentioned in discussions of Japanese horror or schlock cinema, or in histories of Shintoho. Just a quick journey to my bookshelf found an entry on the film in Weisser's Japanese Cinema Encyclopedia: Horror, Fantasy, Science Fiction and the film selected as one of "Japanese Ghost and Horror Film Masterpieces" in Bekkan Taiyō's Nihon horā eiga e no shōtai. It's also covered in Nihon tokusatsu gensō eiga zenshū [21]. Journalism at the time took it up, with Kinema Junpō, the major film magazine, publishing a review in the September 1959 issue (the separate "shōkai" is here). The National Film Center of Japan has even featured it in their retrospectives (see here--note that being "featured as part of a documentary, program, or retrospective on the history of cinema" is one of the conditions of WP:NF). It would not be hard to find more. Michitaro (talk) 15:52, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Even if we consider both articles mentioned in this discussion the muscian still does not meet WP:MUSICBIO. --Wikishagnik (talk) 21:26, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Notability does not depend on the language of sources, so a Marathi article is perfectly acceptable as long as it is reliable and independent. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:06, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Meets the WP:MUSICBIO criteria of "Has won or placed in a major music competition". -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 20:26, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This will be long so have some patience. I have not been able to find any reliable third party reference for this article. Their is a Wikipedia page on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 and it does have this artist mentioned but two of the three references mentioned are dead links, the third is a music download site, but I guess that's a separate issue. I did not visit the website of the contest because that would not count as a reliable reference. I have not found significant coverage of the event or this participant yet. The Marathi article cannot be verified by me. --Wikishagnik (talk) 13:08, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a clarification, in case its not clear. The subject was particiapnt in Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007. But he was winner of Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi's season. The Marathi show is based on similar format and arranged by same production house, but only in Marathi language. Similar Bengali show also exists. The winners of these regional shows get/used to get direct enteries in the National i.e. Hindi competition. Marathi and Bengali dont have their own articles yet. However, one season of Marathi which was for children has its own article at Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi L'il Champs. I have voted Keep as he was the winner of marathi show, not participant in Hindi show. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 13:32, 31 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep This is becoming a question of whether the Marathi show itself is "a major music competition" - if so, as winner, Abhijeet Kosambi qualifies under WP:MUSIC 9. If not, then as mentioned above it becomes a question of whether individual Sa Re Ga Ma Pa contestants on the Hindi show are notable purely on the basis of having participated in that show (as that's the only thing verified by decent sources). Even though it was more than 4 years ago and the subject hasn't done anything of note since, I'd go with a weak keep. Most participants from that 2007 show seem to have articles, and to deny notability on this basis feels like a double standard as regards American Idol and the like. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ ^talk 10:02, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Marathi" is a "major music competition". Its aired on Zee Marathi. §§AnimeshKulkarni (talk) 10:08, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, not knowing the setup, it looks more like a regional spinoff or a qualifying heat for the national Hindi show than a major music competition in its own right, but just to be clear, I'm arguing it doesn't matter either way because being on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2007 is (barely) enough for me. I'm just saying that if SRGMP Marathi is deemed by consensus to be a major competition, then there'd be a strong supposition of notability per WP:MUSIC point 9 which trumps those arguments. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ ^talk 11:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PROD removed (procedurally?). Concern was: Appears to fail WP:AUTHOR; article created almost entirely by Expewikiwriter (since banned for apparent promotional editing); page was previously deleted at AfD. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:35, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm hedging a bet of a G4 on this one. Speedy Delete G4 (repost of previously deleted material); so tagged. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:38, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yes, procedurally, of course. You can't reprod (see red notice) something that has already been to AfD ("An article may be PRODed only once".) Speedy is OK though. Valfontis (talk) 02:07, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not quite a G4 in my opinion - similar in some ways but not identical. To be in the "100 best-selling self-help books in Amazon’s “Happiness” category" doesn't exactly fill me with enthusiasm. Self-published through his own company. Of the references that I can access, only the Baltimore Sun one seems to be anywhere near to an RS, and does give some background to his getting into this field. (The others are by Fertel, or otherwise promotional, or mere mentions/quotes.) Peridon (talk) 11:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:AUTHOR as well as WP:BASIC. Lacks depth of coverage in multiple, independent sources that are not blogs or PR blurbs. Most citations are about his program, not about him. I'm wondering if we shouldn't WP:SALT this one (and possibly Marriage Fitness) as well. If he achieves genuine notability the article can be recreated by someone not in his camp.

The result was Delete. The consensus below is that this article is an unsalvageably unencyclopedic essay that should be deleted. Sourced information on the topic can be added to The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two, but the consensus is that nothing in the article currently meets the criteria for merging.

Unencyclopedic, reads like an essay. Partially duplicates The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two; any new content might be incorporated there. —teb728 t c 01:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's a little confusing to read, due to the structure, I suppose, but I'm going to ride with the nom's statement of duplicity and essay factor. Moreover, in reading it, it almost sounds like there was promotion of an expert. But again with the confusing thing. Maybe I need coffee to read it.... --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 02:04, 1 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with all that has been said above, this is a mess that at this point does not seem rescuable, due to its essay-like topic (title). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me} 14:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
