No indication this is a notable martial art. The world headquarters claims that there are 70 schools worldwide and I don't think that's enough to show notability for a martial art. There are no independent sources in the article. Papaursa (talk) 23:20, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is apparently an autobiography; there are some nebulous claims of notability so I thought it best to bring it to AfD. The books appear to be self-published (one certainly is, the other two are E-books without attribution) and thus confer no notability. For the rest, I could locate no reliable sources that back up most of the claims and very little of this contributes to notability anyway. I confirmed the existence of an interview with her in a magazine. There is a strong air of self-promotion that would require extensive re-writing if this article survives AfD. Ubelowme U Me 22:50, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please let me know what claims are in dispute. thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggiavelli (talk • contribs) 22:52, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment What is being disputed is that the subject has sufficient notability to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. There are also not enough in the way of reliable sources to confirm any notability that is being asserted. Notability and reliable sources are two crucial elements of any Wikipedia article. Ubelowme U Me 22:57, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that being a corporate c level executive and the sole female cto in california confers notability. This is documented/backed up by a link to a dice interview article (dice is a well established jobs site for the technology industry). There is also a published article linked as well. Whether a book is self published or not is irrelevant since many others use publishing services as the new model also it is a simple matter to register a ISBN privately and then there would be no issue if something is "self" published or not. Whatever airs of "self promotion" are in the disputers head this is simply a information point for people seeking information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggiavelli (talk • contribs) 22:59, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I just read the policy on entries for living persons. I will adjust the tone and add more references. thanks. Please forgive my newness to using wiki — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggiavelli (talk • contribs) 23:18, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I completed my updates of references as much as is possible in the short term. I had to learn how to do footnotes and proper wikipedia style. I have also re-linked the article into other wiki articles so I hope that meets the criticism raised. --Ggiavelli (talk) 00:19, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. You may also find the policy on autobiography useful; you can expect this process to last about a week. Ubelowme U Me 00:20, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. By way of comparison look at John Koza's wikipedia entry. I believe this current entry is better cited and more notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ggiavelli (talk • contribs) 01:09, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I find the whole gamut of wikipedia rules, not just the rules but the thuggish way things are enforced and the hamfisted aggressive approach people have here to be extremely off-putting to sane logical people who are simply trying to use the system. It's not a friendly place in the slightest and to be honest after my experience here I feel like I will never come back. I find the reactions I have had disturbing to put it mildly. Maybe it is a response to vandalism of articles but at a certain point it becomes no more than petty thought police feeling high and mighty implementing their feifdoms. My submission was criticized for not having external links from other wiki articles. But when I tried to add such a link I got "Oh no you dont you have to discuss your changes in talk first" thats utter nonsense. To get such drivel just shows how far from a wiki this place has become. So basically I cannot fulfill the requirements, because the enforces are psychopaths. so forget it. who has patience for such childish people? I sure dont.

I was able to verify that this singer/songwriter/playwright/model/actor exists, but I was not able to find reliable sources to verify his notability in any of those fields. Prod removed by creator, who may have a conflict of interest. The article says that several of his songs 'reached top 20 status in Europe' - maybe I'm missing some obvious source that confirms this?

Notability, lack of references Beastiepaws (talk) 22:16, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Social science-related deletion discussions. 01:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC) • Gene93k (talk) 01:41, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Grudging delete. I get the point the article writer is trying to make, but the whole thing sounds like original research. Every city is "specialized" in some sense, in that there's invariably some part of the local economy that's more prominent than the national average, but the leap from that to "specialized city" is such a weird claim that it needs strong sourcing to back the claim up, and those sources don't appear to exist. There are also some very dubious claims in the article that no genuine geographer or social scientist would make, which makes me strongly suspect that this is a school paper of some kind. (As an example, I've just removed some nonsense about London ceasing to be a port city following the end of the British Empire - the Port of London is one of the busiest ports in the world and employs over 30,000 people - and the idea that Bukhara is dominated by the carpet-making industry is just plain weird.) I can't see how this is saveable, as I don't believe the sources exist. Mogism (talk) 09:43, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but obviously needs more references supporting the topic. A valid topic that can be expanded. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:35, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I fail to see the notability factor in this article. It is reminiscent of students at a high school being asked to write an essay on different types of cities. Like Mogism, I think some of the assertions are generalisations and sweeping statements --Zananiri (talk) 17:45, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    The topic itself is notable by the number of academic writings using that topic. I have added several references at the bottom. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:45, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, subject is not notable per WP:SOLDIER, WP:ANYBIO, or WP:GNG. This article appears to fall under WP:BLP1E, and as such the event does not appear to pass WP:EFFECT. Additionally, although the subject appears to have co-authored a book, the subject does not appear to pass WP:AUTHOR.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Given the addition of multiple reliable sources, I have changed my opinion to Weak Delete, although there are other mentions of the subject, most are passing. There is the "Commander for a Day" article, but I don't know if that article could be considered significant coverage. Additionally, I am not sure that the Obit would not fall under WP:ROUTINE, or WP:NOTMEMORIAL, even though it does clearly pass significant coverage; now if the obit was carried in a more major publication I could be persuaded to changing my opinion to WEAK KEEP.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:48, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep clearly meets WP:GNG with significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. I added several refs and could add more, but in any event, his story appears in numerous books (4 cited as refs), magazines, reliable websites, etc. WP:BLP1E is not an appropriate objection, as the subject of the article is not a living person. The WP:EVENT is also notable, as shown by the cites listed. GregJackP Boomer! 16:13, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a memorial. One of the few sites that can be accessed is his obituary. Being mentioned in several books about the war doesn't cut it. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:04, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Google searches turned up no evidence of any notability except for the shooting event, which is only mentioned briefly in reliable sources, nor any evidence that the subject stands out significantly from his many fellow soldriers and POWs. His military career before and after the shooting incident was not out of the ordinary, and he does not meet the requirements of WP:SOLDIER, or any other notability guideline, for that matter. The shooting incident itself is not notable enough to add any substantial notability, and fails WP:EVENT. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 17:15, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep WP:SOLDIER is just an essay, not a policy, and so is just a few editors' version of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, with no general authority or force.

  • Rename per Bushranger above. This is a BIO1E case, but there is coverage in sources, so an article about the event is appropriate.

      • I initially would have made a simple surname redirect since there's only one person with the name, but noticed that Narodnaya Volya (disambiguation) already existed. It seems like a perfectly valid thing to disambiguate. In addition, there are several settlements with this name too but I don't know Russian so would have butchered adding them. —Xezbeth (talk) 21:23, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Russian battleship Imperator Aleksandr III, which was renamed Volya or Volia, with a hatnote there to Pavel Volya. Narodnaya Volya is a WP:Partial title match and therefore not a legitimate dab entry. Alternatively, there do appear to be at least ten Russian populated places and one abandoned one named Volya,[3] so there is enough for a dab page with a person, a battleship and lots of redlinks.

I don't know where you are from, but you have a very subjective opinion if you are not from The Netherlands. I can not believe that you would delete a page about a young person who has done so many good things for other people. I myself have read a lot about this young person, and I am aware that she will be very prominent in the media in the near future as it is known that she will be participating in several projects which will gain a lot of media coverage in The Netherlands. I have thoroughly enjoyed writing an article about this spectacular young person and she is more of a philanthropist than an actress at the moment, so that is maybe the reason why you 'do not think her acting work is notable'. I find it very insulting that you do not think the sources are reliable as they are from official large organizations in The Netherlands. I do not know if you understand the language of The Netherlands? Where are you from exactly? IF you will delete this page, I will file a complaint about you and hopefully others will see more sense. Every other Wikipedia volunteer that has been updating the page about Georgina Booth have just corrected it to improve it, and you have only visited this page for the first time and want to immediately delete it. Who gives you the right to decide what should or should not delete it?
If the sources are an issue. A lot of other sources from The Netherlands can be added. I think it is highly unlikely that you know every single person on this planet, so if you think this person is not 'notable' enough, then that is entirely your subjective opinion. I find it very sad that you have only on this page once and spend a portion of time in your life searching about this person and then immediately want to delete it. I have seen a large quantity of Wikipedia articles which are very unreliable and are about people who have done much less work than this person in either philanthropy or acting and do not get insulting deletion messages from volunteers like you. Before deleting this page, if I were you, I would consider deleting a large amount of Wikipedia articles which contain a lot less than this article. --Wikinow1 —Preceding undated comment added 22:04, 17 August 2012 (UTC) — Wikinow1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
I'm sorry you feel that way, and I assure you it's nothing personal. I just think it may be too soon for an article about this person based on the quality of the sources presented so far. They don't need to be in English, but they do need to be reliable, independent, and non-trivial. --Bongwarrior (talk) 22:21, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I completely disagree with you. The sources that are used in this article are from very large organizations in The Netherlands. 2 sources are from one of the largest philanthropic organization in The Netherlands (the ministry of peace of which national Dutch politicians are part of so they are 100 percent legitimate. The minister of peace Jan Terlouw is a very famous children's author and former deputy prime minister of The Netherlands). The other sources are from one of the largest municipalities in The Netherlands of which Georgina has been actively involved in as a humanitarian ambassador. A lot of media in The Netherlands have written about this and she is very well-known there. A lot of articles on Wikipedia contain similar amount of sources as the sources in this particular article.
I find it very strange that you have only visited this article for the first time and immediately want to delete it. I find you, therefore, highly unreasonable, as all other volunteers/editors have only improved/edited the article or deleted particular sentences to improve article. The message about deletion must be taken away and if you have an 'issue' with sources, then more sources can be added over the weeks. Instead of wasting so much time about deleting a page of a young person who wants to do good things for others, we can just solve this issue now and get on with our lives. I do not want an argument, but this is really a waste of time to argue about a young girl who does humanitarian work in a small country in Europe (Netherlands). --Wikinow1 —Preceding undated comment added 22:46, 17 August 2012 (UTC) — Wikinow1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
By the way, it must be emphasized that the deletion message must be removed, because it gives negativity to all of the good work and efforts this person has done for the good of others. A person like her does not deserve that. It is a very nasty act to delete an article about a young person who actually wants to do good. All of the other editors have only helped in a positive way. You could do the same by helping like all of the other editors/volunteers, instead of just being so negative and wanting to remove it. Please remove it. --Wikinow1 —Preceding undated comment added 22:58, 17 August 2012 (UTC) — Wikinow1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Dear other Wikipedia editors and volunteers reading this, would you please help me to delete the deletion message added by Bongwarrior. I do not have the time to argue about a young girl who is notable in a small country for her humanitarian work. I have put a lot of effort and thoroughly enjoyed writing an article about a good young person. Bongwarrior should not have put this deletion message on the article about Georgina Booth with the reasons he/she has given. The deletion message must be removed from the article, because it gives negativity to all of the good work and efforts this person has done for the good of others. A person like her does not deserve that. I praise any young person who does good for others and this person deserves an article to be written about her and she is also very notable for her good work in The Netherlands. --Wikinow1 (talk) 23:09, 17 August 2012 (UTC)Wikinow1 — Wikinow1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

If nobody will delete the deletion message added by Bongwarrior about the article of Georgina Booth, then I will delete that message myself as I have just as much right as others to edit this article. It can be discussed on here if some want to add it back and continue with arguing about a young girl who does a lot of humanitarian work.--Wikinow1 (talk) 23:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)--Wikinow1 — Wikinow1 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I would strongly advise against removing the deletion message on the article. If you look at the deletion message, you will see that it says, "Feel free to edit the article, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed." You are not the person who gets to decide when the discussion is closed. (That will be most likely be done by an administrator about a week from now, after a full discussion of the article.) Also, please keep in mind that deletion discussions such as this one are not intended to be judgments of whether the subject is a good person, nor are they meant to be insults to the subject. There are typically more than a hundred deletion discussions at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion started every day and they are just meant to be a part of maintaining the encyclopedia. The best thing you can do for this article now would be to add the "lot of other sources from The Netherlands" that you mentioned above. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:27, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Metropolitan90, as she is well-known in a small country and her work mainly consists of philanthropy at such a young age, a lot of sources about her are not on the internet but were in newspapers, magazines and other written sources. I don't know exactly what you want me to do, but all of those sources are not available on the internet. It is also known that she is going to participate in some very large projects this year, so there will probably be more internet sources over the next few weeks. I will find it very petty if anyone wants to delete this page soon. We are all volunteers and it especially does not make volunteers from other countries 'experts' on a subject from a country they are not from based on reading one article. But, since you insist on 'more' sources, I have just added other sources which are all legitimate. How many 'sources' do I need to add, before all of you will take that 'deletion message' away? I would suggest all of you to scrutinize some other articles that contain much less sources about people who are less well-known, and who have no 'deletion messages' appearing on their articles. Just look on the list of people born in 1994 - a large amount of articles contain much less information than this article (about people who have hardly done anything) and which contain much less sources! I have tried to add some extra sources, and they are governmental pdf files about Georgina Booth (so they are legitimate), but Wikipedia will not allow me to do that. You can hardly expect me to retrieve all articles in newspapers and magazines that this person has been featured in! Instead of wasting time, can this 'issue' be solved now? What 'needs' to be done to take the deletion message away? If this Encyclopedia 'needs' to be 'maintained', then you should scrutinize those thousands of other articles, which do not have any deletion messages, and contain much less information (also hardly any sources). --Wikinow1 (talk) 10:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)--Wikinow1[reply]

Regarding non-Internet sources, those are allowed to be cited. The way you can cite them is to use the "cite news" template (similar to the "cite web" template which I see you have already been using) and leave the URL blank. Or, alternatively, just type out the author, title, newspaper name, date, and page surrounded by <ref> ... </ref> -- so that if we went to a Dutch library, we could find them somehow. The deletion template is very likely going to be up on this article until August 24, so you may as well get used to it being there. And if you want to submit any other inadequately sourced articles for deletion, please go ahead and do so if those other articles deserve to be deleted. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG; it would need some reliable sources that are independent of the subject in order to warrant an article, and this article doesn't have that right now, looking online doesn't show anything either. - SudoGhost 14:37, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why didn't anyone say any of this earlier? A lot of people have already edited it, and only because 'Bangwarrior' suddenly put the deletion message on, it 'might have to be deleted'. How subjective! It is a personal opinion. There are a lot of reliable sources about this person. I am also assuming none of you live in The Netherlands... That is probably the reason why none of you are 'finding sources' about this person. Do all of you really want to spend so much time scrutinizing this article? There is nothing wrong with this article and the sources are reliable and independent. If you disagree, then you are disagreeing with large Dutch (governmental) organizations. Why are all of you so fixated on the internet? What about the actual hard copy sources, e.g. newspapers and magazines? Instead of scrutinizing this article about this young girl in particular who has done a lot of good things and has a lot of reliable sources to back her up, try looking and deleting some other articles of others who were born in 1994 and have really unreliable and non-independent sources (e.g. this person born in 1994: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha_Boscarino). Is a Twitter source of that person reliable? You should start checking these other articles instead... If you think a Twitter account on the 'article of Samantha Boscarino' is more reliable than reliable governmental and NGO sources of 'the article of Georgina Booth', then I must say that none of you know the rules of Wikipedia well. Is social media e.g. Twitter a reliable source and are articles from large Dutch (governmental) institutions not reliable? --Wikinow1 (talk) 15:03, 18 August 2012 (UTC)--Wikinow1[reply]

By the way in response to 'Sudoghost' (Article fails WP:GNG; it would need some reliable sources that are independent of the subject in order to warrant an article, and this article doesn't have that right now, looking online doesn't show anything either.): I have just added another reliable source to this article that is independent from the topic (an article from a business club part of the Dutch government). How can you say that it is not reliable and independent? This article has more reliable sources than a lot of articles in the list of 'People born in 1994'. --Wikinow1 (talk) 15:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)--Wikinow1[reply]

If all of you want to delete this, then you should delete most articles in the list of people in 1994. This person has done more than them and has more sources too. --Wikinow1 (talk) 15:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)--Wikinow1[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an argument to avoid, either way. Also please note that being in the news with lots of sources for "doing good things" does not equal notability. Also please stop assuming bad faith. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:25, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why scrutinize this article, when a lot of other articles are allowed to exist that don't obey the rules of Wikipedia? And this person is notable in The Netherlands. Are any of you from The Netherlands? It is an invalid reason to assume this person is not notable, just because you can't find enough about her in other countries. It is like saying that you should delete every article about small places in the world that most people in the world have never heard of. Not every biography on Wikipedia is about people who are notable in every single part of the world. A lot of people are just notable in 1 or a few countries. Just a question: is Twitter allowed as a source? --Wikinow1 (talk) 13:25, 19 August 2012 (UTC)--Wikinow1[reply]

If the subject is very notable in the Netherlands, I would expect to find an article about her in the Dutch Wikipedia. But as of now, there isn't one. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 16:14, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, Twitter is not a reliable source. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:24, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There are a few mentions of the subject floating around the internet, and I'm sure there are similar references to her in print sources that I can't dig up at the moment, but nothing to show notability. She'll probably get there someday, but right now any mention of her that I can find (even being fluent in Dutch) is either not significant coverage, or it is not independent of the subject. Fails WP:GNG MisterUnit (talk) 21:30, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do NOT Delete - if Twitter is not a reliable source, then a deletion message should also appear on articles like 'the article of Samantha Boscarino' and on many other Wikipedia articles. Why is there no deletion message appearing on them, but all of you seem to be ganging up together on this article? How can I assume 'bad faith' according to some of you when everything I am saying is true? I would strongly recommend all of you to leave this page alone, or for a few months as it is known in the area where she is from that she is going to be more high profile (a lot of sources about her are hard copy). All of you just seem to be 'stalking' her and scrutinizing her obsessively on the internet when you could be scrutinizing others who do NOT meet the criteria of Wikipedia. Kind of sad scrutinizing an article about a young girl who has done a lot and is notable. By the way, 'MisterUnit', can you prove that you can speak Dutch fluently (and not using google translation)? I might just file a complaint about all of you who obsessively spending your time on scrutinizing an article that does overall meet the criteria of Wikipedia, when a lot of articles which do NOT are left unchecked. And if you, MisterUnit, are fluent in Dutch, how come you find the sources 'not independent of the subject'? If you were fluent in Dutch, you would read that they are independent governmental or NGO institutions in The Netherlands with leading Dutch politicians as head of them. Kind of sounds like all of you are jealous of this young person (due to the fact that she might have achieved more at a younger age than a lot of you without being on the internet 24/7) and that is why none of you want an article written about her... As 'Bongwarrior' already subjectively said when he placed the deletion message on the article 'Has accomplished more than I have, certainly' or as 'MisterUnit' said 'She'll probably get there someday'. By saying a personal opinion first rather than objectively observing this article, it shows that there are personal reasons why some of you believe that this article should be deleted... Maybe some of you have kids and are comparing her to them or maybe you are comparing her to yourselves? And I am not the first person on the internet to be saying this about some of the volunteers on this page who are criticizing this article... I do not want an argument, but I am only saying the facts. Also, I would like to emphasize that all of you are judging this person's article based on her acting career. It has to be emphasized that she is known more as a philanthropist than an actress. It was just put in her biography that she was an actress in the past and is now more primarily a philanthropist. And by the way, there IS an article on the Dutch wikipedia. --Wikinow1 (talk) 14:25, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Due to promotional content, lack of notability, no reliable sources and not generally known at all in The Netherlands (contrary to what is stated above) the similar article which just has been placed on nl-wiki has been also nominated for deletion as well there. MoiraMoira (talk) 14:46, 20 August 2012 (UTC) editor/admin on nl-wiki; editor on en-wiki and living in The Netherlands[reply]
Comment You should really try to stay on topic here. If you think Samantha Boscarino should be nominated for deletion, then nominate the article for deletion. Nobody is saying that the rest of English Wikipedia is perfect by nominating this article for deletion or by !voting delete. You may notice that 101 articles were nominated for deletion the same day that this article was. There are hundreds of articles and files nominated for deletion every day, many of which ultimately end up getting deleted.
If you would like me to prove that I am fluent in Dutch I live in the Vancouver area and am available for lunch today. Let me know if you would like to meet up.
A word of advice - You might want to stop writing these long responses to everybody who !votes on this AFD. You're making a lot of assumptions about the other editors involved in this discussion (such as "all of you are judging this person's article based on her acting career"), and some of what you are saying, especially about people's children and personal lives, could be interpreted as personal attacks. MisterUnit (talk) 15:35, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have now taken everything of the articles of 'Georgina Booth', so there is no point arguing anymore. Please just leave this topic alone now. Apparently nobody wants to give a new volunteer the chance to change the first article that I have ever written on this website and put a lot of effort into writing it. I think it is such a waste of time to argue whether a young teenage girl who is known to do a lot of good work for others does or does not deserve to be on this encyclopedia.

I declined A7 as there is an assertion of notability. However, there are possible copyright problems - various portions of the text show up on various sites - and the whole thing is unreadable and non-encyclopaedic. It could possibly be regarded as promotional in purpose, like a sort of unwieldy CV. The article appears to be unreferenced. Peridon (talk) 19:11, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment In an edit clash just before seeing this AfD, I deleted the majority of the article text as it was significantly matching a [BMJ review abstract] and therefore likely to match the overall article which is less visible.

Relisting due to a no consensus, non administrator close. Article blatently fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:NSOFT. Every "keep vote" in the previous debate except one was created specifically for that deletion discussion. Five long term, trusted and established Wikipedia editors made reasoned arguments with clear consensus as "Delete". Article was previously deleted under PROD and once as G11 and twice created by the software's author(WP:COI), Christian Hackbart (CHackbart (talk · contribs)) and shortly after AFD nomination and an announcement on DVBViewer's forums (@ 13 August 2012 - 19:34) these WP:SPA accounts were created;

Article does contain multiple links masquerading as references, but a closer look reveals they are merely trivial coverage or mentions or in some cases have a "strong connection" with the subject. The nature being "bundled"/"included" by hardware or some other manufacturer or vendor fails the primary test of being "independent" of the subject... nor would the subject "inherit" notability due to being so closely associated. "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject or its creator. ...[4]". Also see See WikiProject Spam report.

  • Deletion review would definitely have been a better idea. You can't just relist until you get a result you like (see WP:KEEPLISTINGTILITGETSDELETED). List at DRV which is the proper venue for challenging a close.—S Marshall T/C 20:48, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and wait a while. Even after a non-consensus close, relisting immediately at AfD is very poor practice. There is much more chance of obtaining consensus and discouraging any SPAs if you wait a few weeks. I differ from others in not recommending Del Rev either--the close took account of the referencing, not vote counting. It recognized that the GNG was met, and saw the delete arguments as people insisting that higher standards should be applied to software. (I see it slightly differently, that the question was whether the other sources beyond the admitted significant review amounted to significant coverage). There was an attempt to argue that the software was not good software, basing the argument on NSOFT, which ignored the fact that NSOFT explicitly recognizes the importance of the software as an alternative to the GNG, not as an additional criterion. I think as an habitué of Del Rev that in such circumstances the del rev would have told you to wait and place a second afd. If this sounds circular, it rather means that a second attempt to delete it immediately would not get much traction anywhere. DGG ( talk ) 21:16, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and as per DGG, wait a while. Without predjudice to the closure, immediately relisting an AfD is discouraged, and the risk is high that SPA may comment again which may possibly cloud the issue as regards notability guidelines simply resulting in no consensus again. Ideally, the outcome for this article needs to be decided one way or the other. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 06:05, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep: Besides the fact that the original article has been created by one of the author(s) of the software, it has been rewritten multiple times and suits the standard for software here in wikipedia more than enough. I also think (according to DGG) it is not wise to create AfD´s until the article is deleted.

  • Keep with my original arguments from first nomination (read there, posting them here again would be as pointless as the second nomination directly after the first).
    Additionally to the very honourable but rather general mention in PC Magazin 03/2007 I found a much more specific mention in an earlier issue of the magazine (that I had in mind initially) that is significant without doubt. In PC Magazin 10/2006 there's a 5-page article concerning DVB-S2 reception using personal computers (it was state of the art at that time, DVB-S2 PC-cards just became readily available on the market). Regarding alternative software there's a half-page-box exclusively covering DVBViewer praising and describing all of it's features. Especially BDA support for most of the (at that time) brand-new DVB-S2 cards, as well as the sophisticated rendering pipeline (allowing for decoding of the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC stream and rendering in real time) were pointed out, beeing crucial aspects of HDTV playback. --Patrick 1bc0 (talk) 00:20, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Masao Takahashi There's nothing to show that she meets WP:MANOTE.

Papaursa (talk) 03:30, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To my mind it is the achievement of these ranks (both black belt and now sixth-degree) as a woman in Canada that makes her notable. The idea of women practising Judo at all was controversial for quite some time, and the fact that Takahashi achieved her black belt so early, and outside of Japan, is itself significant. Her current rank is the highest achieved by any woman in Canada, and less than ten women have achieved that rank in the 100 year history of Canadian Judo. She has also played a significant role in building women's Judo in Canada, both as a coach and an administrator, but unfortunately the governing organization's documentation of this is spotty on the web.

  • Merge into Masao Takahashi - As much as I would like to vote for Keep I am inclined to agree with comments above that state this article fails WP:MANOTE. Getting ranked internally within a system is not sufficient to establish notability. Unless there is more documentation on her role in developing women's Judo in Canada through independently verifiable sources, her lack of involvement in international competition of any kind supports a merge. In fact, the three articles for her children are in and of themselves worthy of consideration for a merge into one article for the family's legacy in Canadian Judo.

  • Keep, precedent is that malls are notable and that coverage of this source is sufficient (compare Valley Mall (Harrisonburg), which was kept in 2008 with similar levels of coverage). The first source gives significant mention of the mall in its earliest days. Further coverage here and here, along with plenty more under its early-2000s name of "Colonial Mall Staunton".

Interesting; I see you sent this mall to AFD in 2007 and it was deleted, even though three of those sources you list are from prior to 2007. So things have changed by now in terms of consensus about shopping malls? The Harrisonburg Mall seems to me to have a different level of coverage, and to be a different level of thingn in terms of notability. You mentioned at my talk page that consensus is that malls are notable, but I don't see a policy. Maybe this one's not. I saw the articles you found, and it still seems routine. I actually read the two articles from the newsleader that are paywalled in your links and they didn't convince me either. I will withdraw if I'm wrong about consensus regarding malls, though.

  • Comment—Thanks to Ten Pound Hammer for pointing out WP:NPLACE in WP:OUTCOMES, which mentions that "Larger malls are generally considered notable. Very small malls, strip malls and individual shops are generally deleted." I think I'll leave this AFD discussion running anyway, because I think the mall at hand is on the boundary. It's physically larger than a strip mall, but it's smaller by a number of important metrics than many, many strip malls, some of which get as much or more coverage (e.g. see Ten Pound Hammer's first source up there, which mentions only that two homemade bombs blew up at the mall; homemade bombs blow up at strip malls too, and lots of other places, without conferring notability).

By whom? Is there some policy we've all missed? Shouldn't its notability be judged on the quality of the sources and the applicable notability guideline, which in this case must be the GNG? I don't want to hassle you about your opinion, but I'm really curious as to why enclosed shopping malls (and you're saying regardless of size? because there are some awfully teensy ones around) are automatically notable.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 01:52, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a fork of Trailer (book) which uses the adjective "cinematic" to make it seem like book trailers with higher production values are a whole new category. The only good source used, Chicago Tribune, says that book trailers have been poorly made in the past and that some are improving in quality, but does not use the term "cinematic book trailer" or state that such cinematic book trailers are a new type. Dennis Bratland (talk) 16:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • My main concern is that people understand the difference between a normal book trailer and a "cinematic" book trailer. There is obviously a difference, and it is starting to become a very popular form of promotion and marketing. I did not feel putting "cinematic book trailer" as a separate section in the already existing "Trailer(Book)" page would do this form of media justice. I encourage you to consider leaving this page up, but ultimately if it is decided that it is in the best interest for viewers to take it down, I will simply have to make the distinction clear on the existing "Trailer(Book)" page. I look forward to all of your advice on how we can get this issue resolved.Vvenk001 (talk) 17 August 2012 (UTC)— Vvenk001 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Are there any reliable sources that actually say that cinematic book trailers are different? There is one newspaper column and one blog post which say that some book trailers are better than others, but not that there is a new type. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:15, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Just putting my two cents in... the idea of "cinematic book trailers" is not new. This has been done since at least the 80s, with a great early example being John Farris's Wildwood. It could still be considered somewhat traditional, but it did have acting in it. (Not great acting, but it's acting.) It's just that a lot of early book trailers tend to get forgotten because they weren't really mainstream enough to where tons of people were archiving them like the movie trailers today, so a lot of the news sources are treating it like it's a new idea to use book trailers and to have them mostly acted out. They've always been present but with the Internet making it easier to archive and watch, it just seems like it's new. I'll see what I can find, but I'm leaning towards a merge and redirect.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:48, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. There is a difference between the two and it’s not just production value, it’s also the form. Book trailers feature stock stills, stock video, slideshows and graphic design. Cinematic book trailers are more like movies. Some feature celebrities, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfzuOu4UIOU others don’t show the characters at all http://www.theotherhouse.com/our-work/what-the-night-knows/. Some have followed the form of the music video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SYfDafLOQk while others have been shot as full length scenes from a motion picture http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Omk_tKYhf4c. There is a big difference between throwing together generic media on an iMac and the actual production of a book trailer, enough of a difference that it warrants distinction with the word “cinematic.” When you google both of them, the results and the content and the form are appropriately distinct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Henrymiller2010 (talk • contribs) 10:38, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do know there's a difference, but the biggest part is trying to find reliable sources to back up that the term "cinematic book trailer" is anything other than a neologism to describe a higher grade of book trailers that are more like movie trailers. There are some that mention the term, but generally the trailers are just referred to by the generic "book trailer" term. I think that's what the biggest fuss is about. It's just too new of a term, so at most what it could be is a redirect to the book trailer article with a very brief mention that the higher quality trailers are called "cinematic book trailers". I've done a search throughout the night and I just don't see where the term is heavily enough used and properly sourced enough to warrant a completely separate article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Trailer (book)/Delete. I've made a mention to the term in the book trailer article, but ultimately this is just a neologism used to describe a slightly different format of book trailer. A search on Google does not bring up mention of the term in the news and the literary sites that feature book trailers of this nature simply refer to them as "book trailers". Even the publishers seem to refer to them predominantly as book trailers or book commercials rather than call them cinematic book trailers. (Examples: [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], Hutton Stars in His First Book Trailer, [11]) To be honest, the only people who are predominantly referring to the trailers as "cinematic book trailers" are a group of sites that produce and sell them. (As someone who frequents many of the various book blogs, sites, and such, I can personally vouch that the term is not very widely used.) To show that the term is anything more than a neologism or a marketing term you'd have to show that the general public beyond the sellers are using it. They aren't. If I can be blunt, a redirect would actually be fairly generous when you consider that almost nobody uses the term. (I don't mean to sound harsh, but a search with "cinematic book trailers" and "cinematic book trailer" only brings up about 11-12K of results, which aren't that many.) In the end it's just a neologism and there's just not enough here to justify a separate article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:16, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Well in the case of a redirect I think a distinction needs to be made on the page even if it just acknowledges the newer form that garners 11-12k hits on a search. I mean if it's not widely used enough yet to justify its own page. I'm not familiar enough with Wiki's standards to know what sort of numerical search results justify a new page. Tokyogirl79 is correct in that there are not many articles that discuss the differences between the terms. In all fairness though a search brings up way more than just production companies, in fact a lot of those "companies" are pretty difficult to find. I just did a search for the term "cinematic book trailer" and in 3 pages saw only one company and it was nowhere near the top of the results. Rather there is a list of "cinematic book trailers posted by authors or video forums such as trailerspy.com and publishers such as www.greenleafbookgroup.com. Most of the results I saw are not businesses and seem to signify that the term is used often and has a separate meaning from book trailer, but is not as popular of a term as its generic predecessor. However when you do a search for the term "book trailer," there are more companies that come up immediately than when you type the term "cinematic book trailers."henrymiller2010 —Preceding undated comment added 19:09, 18 August 2012 (UTC) — henrymiller2010 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Really, 11-12K isn't that much when it comes to ghits, not when you compare that to "book trailer" which gets over five million hits. This means that less than 1% of the internet is using this term, which means that it's not a common enough term in the grand scheme of things. (WP:NOTNEO) Wikipedia isn't a way to increase usage of this term. It's just not really a used term and it's considered a neologism. Neologisms are rarely used on Wikipedia unless they can show that it's notable and more than just a new term being thrown about. It honestly doesn't matter if a handful of people are using the term, that handful of people aren't showing that the term has any notability at this point in time.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 09:01, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "handful" of people are very much showing that the term has notability," since many notable publishers and writers are using these cinematic book trailers and calling them that, and some of them use notable public figures in the trailers. Anthony Swofford, Adam Wilson, Julie Klam, Timothy Hutton and Eric Roberts are all notable people with wikipedia pages to back up their notoriety. These trailers were of course produced by companies or they would not exist, but they do exist and because the market is open and the term isn't as old as "book trailer" doesn't make it irrelevant or unworthy of acknowledging its existence.Vvenk001 20 August 2012 —Preceding undated comment added 08:00, 20 August 2012 (UTC) — Vvenk001 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Thing is, very few of them actually call them specifically by this name. There's some mention of "cinematic" in relation to some of the trailers, but never really enough to where this specific term is being commonly used. Again, this is a neologism and it does not warrant an article of its own. There's a mention of it in the main article for book trailers as well as a mention about the differences between trailers, but there's absolutely zero need for a separate article about this. Thing is, to show that it has any notability you'd have to show that more than a handful of people are using this term. While this doesn't mean that "cinematic book trailer" couldn't eventually become more than a neologism, it isn't a notable or well used term now. As far as notable people using the term or starring in the clips, that notability is not transferred to the term. It just means that a notable actor is starring in a trailer that the production company terms a "cinematic book trailer" or that a publishing company called a trailer cinematic or used the term once in a while. The predominant term for book trailers is "book trailer" and this is ultimately a neologism for a higher grade of trailers that everyone is predominantly (and almost exclusively) calling simply "book trailer". I'm sorry, but the term doesn't have notability simply because you believe it does. To show that a term is something other than a neologism, you need lots of sources to show that it's commonly in use. You'd have to have tons of articles that specifically use this term over a long period of time. Not drop the term "cinematic" in the article in general, but use the term "cinematic book trailer" specifically. Out of the sources given, here's what we have on the article:
  1. [12] This one doesn't mention "cinematic" at all.
  2. [13] This also doesn't mention the term, just has the author saying that book trailers are relatively new. (It isn't, book trailers of varying sorts have been around since at least the 80s, if not earlier.) In any case, this just doesn't show notability for the term either.
  3. [14] This is just a YT video. At no point is this described as a "cinematic book trailer" by the publisher on this page. This can't show notability for the term.
There's a lot of mention of people calling things "cinematic book trailers" but at no point are we given links to reliable sources that are actually calling any of these book trailers "cinematic book trailers". Sure there's the people who produce the stuff calling it that, but where are the people who are saying things to back up Most recently Oscar-nominated actor Eric Roberts starred in what's being called a "cinematic book trailer" for Deborah Henry's debut novel "The Whipping Club." By that I mean that people are calling the trailer a "cinematic book trailer". I'm not questioning that various people are starring in these book trailers, just that this term is being bandied about to the degree to which you and a handful of other incredibly new users are claiming it is. You both have signed up only to edit an article about book trailers and are generally unaware of Wikipedia's notability policies and policies about neologisms. I'm not saying this to be mean, just saying that this term is too new to merit an article about this term or even really anything more than a mention that the term is being used along with various other terms to describe book trailers, if even that. It's just that new of a term and there's no guarantee that it'll ever get more of a mention than it is now. I'm also going to apologize for this if neither of you are affiliated with any of the companies mentioned in the page, but I have to ask: considering that both of you have been editing only this article and the article repeatedly hotlinks to various companies, are either of you affiliated with any of the companies listed in this article, either because you work directly for them, know someone in the company, or have been hired by the company to produce the article? There's no rule against doing this, (although you are supposed to state if you have a COI) but I'm a little worried that you might have a conflict of interest that might keep you from viewing everything as neutrally as someone who doesn't have a conflict of interest.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 06:26, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The page contains very little commentary, and even that reads like obvious WP:OR. It would be possible to create an article, but this is not it. I cannot even see any point keeping the page history behind a redirect. I voted to keep Genesis 1:2 after it was expanded, but unless Genesis 1:5 is improved shortly then it should go. – Fayenatic London 13:01, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - A bible verse translation center is another thing that Wikipedia is not. Carrite (talk) 15:16, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Poor writing is not a reason for deletion. This article clearly passes our general notability guideline, as a simple Google Books search demonstrates. If the article cannot currently stand on its own, it should be redirected to Genesis creation narrative. There is no added benefit to getting rid of the page history. Neelix (talk) 15:28, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm not convinced that this is the manner we're best served in presenting information about these Biblical passages. While it's true that probably every Bible verse has seem some examination by religious scholars, theologians, and textual interpreters in the intervening centuries (since versification in the 1550s), I'm dubious that most Bible verses are a "topic" in and of themselves rather than a component of the wider whole. The minutiae of Shakespeare's works have been well-examined, but we present articles about his plays, not about each act. Certainly, there are going to be some Bible verses that have attracted particularly renowned focus such that we can craft an in-depth article: John 3:16, John 11:35, and, yes, probably Genesis 1:1, for example. But I don't see that here, and the state of the article does nothing to convince me otherwise. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:37, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. My rationale has not changed, but there's no compelling reason to expunge the page history and this is a plausible search term. I'm ambivalent as to whether Genesis creation narrative or Book of Genesis is the more appropriate destination, however. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:39, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Book of Genesis, at least until a content fork is necessary. §everal⇒|Times 21:03, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The first few verses of Genesis have thousands of years of detailed Christian and Jewish commentary. There is plenty of material for an article here, as there was for Genesis 1:4. -- 202.124.72.43 (talk) 05:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • My problem with these by-verse Bible articles is that the above statement, strictly speaking, isn't true. For example, while the Zohar engaged in a great deal of detailed analysis and interpretation of Torah passages, it is inaccurate to say that it did so by verse, because the Zohar predates Biblical versification. Rather, any source prior to ~1550 necessarily examined Biblical passages in a larger context (and most after that date have done so as well): either by book, by narrative section, or in some cases, by parshah. I do not dispute that there has been a great deal of historical attention paid to these words; I dispute that they are independently significant, any more than each act and scene of a notable play is, itself, worthy of an independent article. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:26, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think that adds to the case for merging this (and verse 3) into the page on verse 4. – Fayenatic London 19:42, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The thousands of years of commentary may pre-date versification, but since the commentary is by sentence it corresponds to the versified structure. Merger is a possibility, but there is more than enough material for an article here, if someone will make the effort. -- 202.124.72.134 (talk) 01:39, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The interpretation from the Kabbalah can probably be expanded significantly, but would need more expertise than I have. -- 202.124.74.10 (talk) 11:52, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with Genesis 1:4. The two verses together constitute a single "incident" in the creation story. The other verse now has a substantial aricle - unless substantially expanded. Note my vote on Genesis 1:4 is to Keep. Peterkingiron (talk) 20:21, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because Genesis 1:1-5 (i.e. the first five verses of the Book of Genesis) are one logical set that contains the details of the First Day of creation according to the Bible, that would make them a key axiom and foundation for everything else that follows in the Bible. That is why thus far multiple AfDs to do away with the first 2 verses' articles have failed, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genesis 1:1 (2nd nomination) & Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Genesis 1:2 (2nd nomination) and why this article as well as the two others about Genesis 1:3 and Genesis 1:4 are to be kept as a complete coherent set since it makes no sense that there are articles for the first two verses of Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 describing the First Day of Creation (i.e. the most important event when everything begins according to Judeo-Christian civilization), and not for the three others that are part of one set. No one imagines that a famous paragraph consisting of five sentences (the Bible's opening paragraph) should only cite two sentences, as that would make no sense even in human terms. Thus these are both WP:N and there are plenty of WP:RS to back them up as they could obviously be developed even more. IZAK (talk) 20:23, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think this argument actually underscores the reason why this material shouldn't be presented in this manner. No one is arguing that Wikipedia should not discuss the opening lines of Genesis. The references which discuss this material do not examine each line in isolation; they interpret these verses as part of a wider whole -- a "coherent set". Indeed, before 1550, there was no division of the material into verses at all! Your comparison is apt, however; we would not have separate articles for only a couple sentences out of a famous paragraph ... but that is because we would not partition that paragraph out into articles for each sentence whatsoever (for example, Four score and seven years ago is a redirect to Gettysburg Address). Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:29, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hi Squemish: Either the first five verses are kept together as a unit, and improved, or they do not make sense separated from each other. The importance of the first two verses has been acknowledged and affirmed by multiple AfDs, but in terms of logic and coherence they can only make sense if all five verses are cited. But they should not be split up and palmed off into "themes" because that's not how the Bible is read and understood. As for your contention that "before 1550, there was no division of the material into verses at all!" you are wrong because in Judaism there are verses and smaller divisions and the first five verses are one unit, see Parashah#Spacing techniques, this goes back way before the 1500s, to the +-3000 year Masoretic Text. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 20:41, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • You are entirely correct that the parashot predate the versification of the Bible (indeed, even some of the Dead Sea Scrolls use a system of spacing), however the parashot differ from versification in a number of aspects, including, most importantly, the fact that they are not numbered (some have specific names, but this isn't one of them). Prior to Robert Estienne, there was no term of reference specifically to the segment of text now considered Genesis 1:5. With the history aside, I still haven't seen any evidence that there are sources which discuss this verse in isolation. Certainly there are sources which examine this verse, but only in some wider context. That is true of both of the cited references. Kissling spends page 101 discussing this verse, to be certain, but that is in the wider context of an examination of the first day, and then again in a wider context of the entire creation narrative (see the structural outline on p.53); it is even more true of the Zohar, which predates the modern system of versification entirely. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 21:21, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

*Merge: Genesis 1:3–5 although a good proposal from Fayenatic london (talk · contribs), conflicts with Genesis 1:1-3 (In the beginning). So now we are at a tug of war for verse 3. So, perhaps there is consideration to merge them all into Genesis 1:1-5 as IZAK (talk · contribs) put it "the first five verses of the Book of Genesis) are one logical set that contains the details of the First Day of creation according to the Bible". Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 21:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The material added to the article, as well sthe numerous sources available that address this specific verse, demonstrate its notability on a standalone basis. The foucs on this article should be on expansion, rather than deletion. Alansohn (talk) 21:34, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Agreed; there's no doubt that enough material exists in Jewish and Christian commentary for such an expansion. I've added a bit more, and could go on for pages if I had the time. -- 202.124.72.134 (talk) 01:52, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: And that brings me to another point... The discussion at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not#Proposal, Masem (talk · contribs) states, "It is the content of these articles that must not be made into devotional compendiums. And its clear that consensus is that some of these, like the parshas, are written inappropriately for Wikipedia because they are based on teaching the faith, not summarizing it. --MASEM (t) 16:37, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
So I argue that the Genesis creation narrative serves to summarize, encyclopedicly, what ought to be addressed. For the amount of commentaries just on Gen. 1-5 alone, may teeter off into POV commentaries that might bog the article down into wp:undue, when all that is needed is a proper summary of terms and phrases from mainstream and appropriate minor groups which is already attempted at both the Genesis creation narrative article and Jewish commentaries at Bereishit (parsha). Why do we need to duplicate such material into undue weight? Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 08:56, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Right now, there is approximately +28,190 bytes worth of Jewish commentary specifically for Genesis 1:1-5 at Bereishit (parsha).   — Jasonasosa 09:21, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand your point. Genesis 1:1, Genesis 1:2, Genesis 1:4, and Genesis 1:5 are appropriate spin-off articles of Genesis creation narrative (the latter article would be too long if it absorbed those articles). These spin-off articles are encyclopaedic and do not breach WP:UNDUE. Bereishit (parsha) does seem to be an article with a specifically Jewish POV, but even if that's the case, it's not really a point for this AfD. -- 202.124.75.67 (talk) 09:48, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
What I'm saying is... Genesis creation narrative and Bereishit (parsha) are good enough and do not need spin offs. Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 13:24, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Those both have much wider scope, and the content of these pages would unbalance them. IMHO Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 are preliminary to the six days, but verses 3-5 go together as a narrative of Day 1, hence my merge proposal. I don't understand the alleged conflict with Genesis 1:1-3 (which was deleted years ago). BTW I revised Genesis creation narrative#In the beginning, during the course of this discussion, moving (inter alia) verse 3 into Day 1, as that and other headings were previously in a muddled order; even then I didn't get it quite right (sorry), but hope that it is now clear. – – Fayenatic London 13:58, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Those articles have wider scope, but insufficient depth, given the history and influence of these initial verses of Genesis. It seems there's an WP:IDONTLIKEIT argument here. Fayenatic's suggestion of a merge is a viable possibility, although I still think this article can fly on its own. -- 202.124.72.215 (talk) 23:17, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

    • IZAK actually wrote in favour of keeping these verses "together as a unit". I don't see anything in his contribution which would oppose merger of verses 3, 4 and 5. – Fayenatic London 17:20, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This is not forum for an extended commentary and cross-comparision on every scriptural verse in the Bible, Koran, Talmud, Rig Veda, Upanishad, etc, etc. this is where this leads. This should primarily be kept (as much as possible) to topics and subjects not a continuous or consecutive list of verses of scripture with separate articles. I am sure there is a Bible Wiki out there somewhere for that.Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 17:05, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Withdraw opinion: I withdraw my above opinions and 'vote' regarding the further creation and expansion of individual verse expanded article listings. I do not support further biblical verse article listings or expansions and feel the issues here with these articles are not solvable by AfD discussion and should arise organically through the primary contributing editors. So let it be done. Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 19:22, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Nobody is proposing to take this series further than verse 5. Certain introductory passages and other verses are notable on their own, e.g. John 1:1. IMHO the articles on Genesis 1:1 and verse 2 are now worth keeping, but verses 3 to 5 would be better together. – Fayenatic London 17:20, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing my opinion to Merge this and verse 3 into the better article on verse 4. While this AFD has been running, the page has been expanded a little, but is still not as convincing as a standalone article as Genesis 1:4. – Fayenatic London 17:20, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

::Which again conflicts with Genesis 1:1-3 as a set for (In the beginning). So we are back to a tug-of-war for verse 3. Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 17:40, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: My suggestion, as other's here have mentioned as well, is to where this individual extended verse commentary ARTICLE listing leads. The articles and information should be limited and kept from "scope-creep", and listed as topics and subject titles and/or merged with such. Delete the listing, merge all information on the subject it addresses into one article. (Was addressing Fayenatics's comments.) No need for "tug-of wars". Iconoclast.Horizon (talk) 17:45, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

:::The merge proposed creates a tug of war between Gen.1:1-3 (even if stand alone articles) and Gen.1:3-5 (even if merged as one article). Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 18:08, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the creation of an article called "Genesis 1:3-5" because it sets bad precedent, suggesting that an article can deal with a string of verses that have a subjective beginning and end point (here, Genesis 1:3 and 1:5). Groupings of verses are valid subjects for Wikipedia articles, but the groupings themselves should have named precedent in the secondary literature (ex. Abraham and Lot's conflict, Blessing of Jacob, Confusion of tongues). Neelix (talk) 14:25, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nelix, Fayenatic london (talk · contribs) already proposed a renaming for Genesis 1:3–5 after said page is created. If you notice above, the User suggested First day of Creation, Creation of light (Bible) or Let there be light (Bible) as possible name changes.   — Jasonasosa 15:46, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is such a subject here: "First day of creation". See e.g. The New American Commentary Volume 1 - Genesis 1-11, page 145. I suggested this and alternative titles above. – Fayenatic London 14:39, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am not opposing a merger; I am opposing the initial move to "Genesis 1:3-5". If we cannot decide on a more well-accepted title, then perhaps we are not selecting the appropriate string of verses. Neelix (talk) 14:00, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well then, I propose moving the merged page straight First day of Creation. – Fayenatic London 17:43, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Genesis 1:3 and Genesis 1:4 should both be redirected to Let there be light and then Genesis 1:5 can be deleted.  — Jasonasosa 21:03, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, because the community consensus is to keep Genesis 1:4. StAnselm (talk) 21:07, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that seems strange to redirect Genesis 1:3 while having Genesis 1:4 to stand alone, when they are part of the same subject. meh   — Jasonasosa 21:36, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. If Genesis 1:3 is going to be merged, content should probably go into both Let there be light and Genesis 1:3–5 (possibly to be renamed). Then the relation of those two articles should be looked at. I still think that Genesis 1:5 is fine on it's own however. I've seen no policy-based arguments for getting rid of it. -- 202.124.72.43 (talk) 22:28, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The current article Let there be light seems to be a kind of "Genesis 1:3 in popular culture." It's probably not a good merge target for Genesis 1:3. -- 202.124.73.175 (talk) 10:37, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
That an article is not well-written yet doesn't mean that it isn't a good merger target. Neelix (talk) 14:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think the current article Let there be light should be left, separate from the discussion of the meaning of the Biblical verses. The split is also about right already. Even though it has a section on etymology, there's a reason for that being on that page: to explain the two different Latin translations which are used as mottos. – Fayenatic London 17:43, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I do not endorse merging Genesis 1:3, if Genesis 1:4 is not going to be merged either. Either they all stand alone or redirect them all. Thanks,   — Jasonasosa 22:47, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirecting Genesis 1:4 is not an option, since consensus was to keep that article. -- 202.124.72.43 (talk) 23:14, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, we got that already...   — Jasonasosa 00:17, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The decision to keep Genesis 1:4 after it was expanded is no bar against merging smaller articles into it, nor against renaming (moving & redirecting) accordingly. – Fayenatic London 17:43, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is no reason to make this all-or-nothing. All of these verses are sufficiently notable to stand on their own if they were only sufficiently worked-on; the fact that Genesis 1:4 is already sufficiently worked-on to stand on its own simply means that it is a sub-article of the overarching article, whatever that is determined to be. Neelix (talk) 14:07, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
How would you demonstrate that each of these verses is sufficiently notable? There's plenty of Biblical commentary on just about any verse, but not every verse has wider cultural significance deserving an article in a general encyclopedia. I'm satisfied of notability in the cases of verse 1 & v2, but it seems to me that 3-5 make a better unit (first day of creation) to be discussed as a combined text rather than each having a page on their own. (See e.g. the layout of Gen 1:1–13 in the NIV.) For the record, I do not envisage that additional articles should be created for Day 2 etc; Day 1 has more notability, because it's the first, and because of the cultural resonances. – Fayenatic London 17:43, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I stand more strongly with Fayenatic london (talk · contribs)'s argument.   — Jasonasosa 18:15, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I am not sure how you are defining "wider cultural significance"; that is not a term used in our notability guidelines. All of the notability guidelines I can see are clearly passed by each of these verses. Neelix (talk) 13:56, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. There's more than enough reliable sources for Genesis 1:3 and Genesis 1:5 to take them up to the level of Genesis 1:4, which was kept. Genesis 1:3 is particularly notable because of the phrase let there be light, but both Genesis 1:4 and Genesis 1:5 satisfy WP:N as well. The fact that only some sources are currently in the articles is not a reason for deletion; AfD decisions are made on the basis of what the article could become. -- 202.124.75.38 (talk) 14:23, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First, there's only ONE reason from the previous discussion and I just explained that they are NO sources for it (she appearing in magazines which fails the 'modern day' Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Pornographic_actors_and_modelsWikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers). It also has never been proven that she appeared in any of those. Which I blatantly said in the nomination. If you find a source on that, then and only that does the the 2005 deletion discussion applies. --Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 09:55, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Marrying a Rock Star doesn't make the person notable. (see Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Family) I mean seriously? Should every singers partner get an article. Because all their wedding make the news with their partners names. And that's the only sources you found. Nothing about her. I mean you need sources about her notability and that's about her modeling career. That's the only reason she can have notability (and subsequently an article). Marrying a Rock Star doesn't make her notable nor do the sources about them. Find a source about her modeling career and not one that's tied to her marriage to Eddie Vedder. I repeat again. You won't find one. I've tried. You don't even address if she meets Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Pornographic_actors_and_modelsWikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers.--Everyone Dies In the End (talk) 09:55, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to Afghan detainees at Guantanamo Bay; multiple passing mentions of the subject, but nothing that I would consider significant coverage per WP:GNG. The Washington Post article linked by Joshuaism, had several paragraphs about the subject, however in reading the total article (3 pages) the main coverage was about the group of long-term unlawful combatants as a whole, and spoke of others in the group, but none that I would consider significantly; therefore, the subject of the article being considered is not the primary subject of the source. Additionally, the AP article gives a one paragraph brief of each unlawful combatant being held from Afghanistan, but one paragraph does not significant coverage make, IMHO. That being said the group of detainees are notable, not necessarily the individual members of said group.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 04:43, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- I made some changes to bring this article up to date. I believe these edits show that the comments from those who favor deletion, due to a lack of references that establish notability should be discounted by the closing administrator -- it is just not true.

    Only ten captives faced charges before the Presidentially authorized Military Commissions -- the ones struck down by the Supreme Court as unconsistutional. Zahir was the last one. I believe there is a meme shared by those who advocate deletion of the Guantanamo captives -- namely that events there are routine, mundane, not of out of the ordinary -- and thus not worthy of coverage. We don't cover certain kinds of routine events, even if the press has given them extensive coverage. I agree with this principle. I strongly disagree with the notion that the detention of the Guantanamo captives is routine.

    My personal interpretation that conditions there are not routine is no more relevant than the personal interpretation of those in the delete camp that conditions are routine. What is relevant is what WP:RS said about Zahir's detention. I think the WP:RS clearly support Zahir's notability. Take the charges against him, and the hearings of his military commission.

    • Legal critics point out that the main charge against him -- conspiracy to commit a war crime -- was not considered a war crime under international law;
    • The rules required the prosecution to privide him with a translation of the charges against him into a language he could read. The prosecution did not prepare a translation, so he could participate in his own defense, and was not able to explain why this wasn't done.
    • The prosecution could not explain why they did not hire a translator, for the hearing, so he could participate in his own defense.
    • At his hearing the Judge could not tell his military defense attorney what laws and legal system he would be using. When pressed, he snapped at the defense attorneys.
    • Strikingly, many of the reports from 2006, incorrectly stated Zahir did not have a civilian attorney present before the military commission, because he did not have a civilian attorney. Carol Rosenberg, the best and hardest working journalist covering Guantanamo, on the other hand, did interview Zahir's civilian attorney,the one who had initiated a writ of habeas corpus on his behalf. She reported that he learned of the charges against his client by reading about them in the newspaper. This was, I suggest, remarkable. I want to be careful not to lapse from WP:SYNTH in covering this. Geo Swan (talk) 18:07, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • You continue to assume bad faith, and also he still does not meet WP:BLP1E for significant coverage outside of the one event (the trial). - The Bushranger One ping only 01:10, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I think there are enough significant citations and quality sources to justify notability. Bearian (talk) 21:17, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sourcing is never an adequate counter-argument for a one-event individual. Tarc (talk) 13:37, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I take issue with some of Geo Swan's comments. I don't think that anyone believes that "the detention of the Guantanamo captives is routine." The detention is most certainly notable, but that does not necessarily confer notability on the detainees. By similar reasoning, one can say that the Oklahoma City bombing was far from routine, but few if any of the victims of that attack were considered notable. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 05:04, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The requirement for significant coverage in reliable sources has been met and Zahir is notable as being one of the few detainees to face the Guantanamo military commissions. Not a WP:BLP1E as Zahir is not "likely to remain, a low-profile individual" considering he is still incarcerated (how many people remain at Guantanamo?) and we can assume that having been accused of a high-profile attack against a notable journalist he will likely be charged again in the next judicial system set up to try Guantanamo detainees. --Joshuaism (talk) 13:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Significant coverage in reliable sources does not overcome BLP1E, and being incarcerated does not somehow invalidate the "low-profile" aspect of BLP1E. If all you can say about the man is "he's in prison", then there is zero justification for an article. Tarc (talk) 13:37, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think it is significant that we can expect to be hearing about Zahir every three years until his release under Obama's plan. If he is a "low-profile" prisoner we should expect to see him released and never heard from again, otherwise it is safe to assume he is the worst of the worst. --Joshuaism (talk) 14:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:32, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly, WP:CRYSTALBALL does not apply. First line, "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation." He's detained, has been detained and the likelihood (as by comment) of remaining detained has nothing to do with WP:CRYSTALBALL. Meets GNG, if these numerous sources don't meet GNG, nothing will, more exist that are not cited as well. Also, the 'low profile' or 'high profile' comments matter not, as if Wikipedia is a collection of the X most important topics, the only thing that truly matters is that we can properly account for information in the article without original research under GNG which states, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list." Who cares about some 'notability guideline', the guide is used to state 'whom' or 'what' MAY be notable, with a criteria upon which notability is assumed. GNG is a policy and has a broad use and interpretation, all of which have been met by even the most high of expectations. Even if you argue over WP:NTEMP its a one way road in this case, as the subject still is being written about 6 years later, and BP1E should not apply to an on-going matter of which is a hotly debated legal potato. 1E should be more on '1 day' or '1 week', because some individuals are notable for just that long through the media, but 6 years is quite different. Deletion serves to REDUCE information here, and without merit. Not every person is notable for being in a jail, but Gitmo is a weird case, largely condemned by one side, cautiously supported by another, yet the individuals themselves are denied rights and processes of their nations. Such individuals held in this 'extra-judical' case are easy to argue as notable, because of the circumstances of their imprisonment. If the individual meets GNG, then it is presumed notable.

  • I think the article is very relevant material. Throughout my 17 years of experience in the insurance industry, I have found that a lot of people have questions, and need more information on the auto insurance requirements in Georgia. The state of Georgia has a population of almost 10 million people. Each state has different liability limit requirements. Some states require Personal Injury Protection (Georgia does not), not all states have an insurance database,states have different fees and fines for not having insurance. Another unique aspect of auto insurance in Georgia is the Uninsured Motorist option (Added On vs. Reduced). There is also a wikipedia page on on the Georgia Electronic Insurance Compliance System and the Georgia General Assembly. I'm new to wikipedia, but I think that this topic will resonate with many people looking for information on auto insurance in Georgia. I definitely don't think the article should be deleted. It should be given time to be improved, because it provides useful information. There are also mulitple Georgia government websites, some I've reference in the article, that explains how auto insurance Georgia laws are different than other states. If all the rules and regulations were uniform from state to state, there would no need for state Insurance Commissioner offices in every state.--Laemiracles (talk) 19:30, 11 August 2012 (UTC) — Laemiracles (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Rename to Motor insurance requirements in Georgia (U.S. State). As this appears not to be a matter where the law is the same in all 50 states, and article is justified. However, I prefer "motor" to "car" to include other road vehicles. "Georgia" is ambiguous as it also refers to a nation in the Caucasus. No doubt other articles on the law of other states will follow. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:31, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move/Merge to "Motor insurance requirements in the United States#Georgia". One article per nation is enough. It is at least IMO, and eliminates the "Georgia" ambiguity. - ¡Ouch! (hurt me / more pain) 12:14, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, don't merge anywhere. This is totally not encyclopedic material. If people want to know the insurance or other regulations for a given state, they should go to that state's website, not to an international encyclopedia. As far as I could tell, there are no comparable articles for any other state or country. --MelanieN (talk) 02:04, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment we have some very notable allegations of illegal importing of drugs via El Toro etc, and misuse of military aircraft, mentioned in the references. The solution might be to create an article on Brigadier General Wayne T. Adams, who was fired for misuse of military aircraft for personal use, and add the material there. Vjiced, colonels are one rank lower than we automatically consider notable. Brig. Gen. Adams meets the rank cut-off, and was involved with the Sabow case. Buckshot06 (talk) 02:01, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The allegations are just that - allegations - and as such should not be included in Wikipedia. The only charge against Col. Sabow was using military aircraft for personal golfing trips. If someone wants to create an article about General Adams they certainly could, but it would have nothing to do with this discussion. A redirect would be inappropriate, because little or nothing about Col. Sabow would belong in that article. BTW I don't find anything saying that Gen. Adams was fired; he was reassigned. --MelanieN (talk) 17:04, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Clearly meets the notability criteria for musicians, based on charted singles, adequately cited to reliable and independent sources. Note that the genre of the music does not correlate to notability in accordance with WP:MUSICBIO.

  • weak keep I`m skeptic about this article. I`m here because the article liberal conservatism is also nominated for deletion and I`ve written in defense of keeping it, but, I must say, conservative liberalism is something I`ve never heard before. Having read the article, I feel the inclusion of so many parties as following this ideology lacks reference, that the ideology is not sufficiently well defined and that while it may have some use in political discourse it is not so clear how widespread this is. This is particularly problematic as so many parties are identified as part of this group and I wonder how they define themselves and who came up with the idea that they fall under the rubric of conservative liberalism. It would be good if the article cited people, both politicians and political theorists, that are identified with such a position, either by themselves or by scholars. Still, I feel my skepticism is probably related to my ignorance on this particular terminology, that may be not widespread but still useful, and to the need of improvement from people who knows more about this. There are valid citations (in english too) and I see no reason for deletion at the moment. Anyway, I hope my comments may help and encourage those who are able to improve the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marco.natalino (talk • contribs) 00:21, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article's author removed the proposed deletion tag moments after I added it.

  • Delete per above. A search quickly shows that there's no in-depth coverage of the birthdays of the characters enough for there to really justify a list of this nature. This is essentially one of those things that would probably be great in a fan run wiki, but not really so much in Wikipedia. As far as the information goes, this is already accessible in the character pages and anyone intensely curious could look it up there.

  • Delete the "indiscriminate trivia" comments above are wrong on two levels: 1) it's very discriminate, and 2) IINFO doesn't list fictional elements as within its scope.

  • Delete. The subject of this AfD is Chase Daniels, an Atlanta radio personality. However, Chase Daniel was a very prominent college quarterback at Missouri, is now the backup quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, and is often, mistakenly, called "Daniels" in news stories and elsewhere. This error happens often enough that it's become a running joke among Saints fans. So Google searches turn up a number of hits (for example, GNews has more than 200 hits for <"Chase Daniels" Atlanta>), but they are mostly typos relating to the QB; I couldn't find anything significant about the Atlanta radio personality. Alternatively could consider redirecting to WSTR (FM).--Arxiloxos (talk) 15:33, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: It appears we have two Daniel Katsuks. One is Daniel Katsük (voice artist), the topic of this deletion, an anime voice artist with a healthy body of work but few decent sources.[31] The other is Daniel Katsuk (musican), NOT the subject of this AFD but sourcable as a Fort Worth musician.[32] Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:18, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Recreated after a speedy deletion for copyright infringement. Now it's not infringing, but it doesn't contain anything that isn't also found in Adaptive behavior. There's nothing here to merge, and the point seems to be to promote the blog that it was formerly a copyright violation of. — alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:34, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or Merge into it's own small section in Adaptive behavior.

  • Note Skillset goes to Creative Skillset - "Sector Skills Councils (SSCs) are state-sponsored, employer-led organisations that cover specific economic sectors in the United Kingdom."

  • Delete - doesn't make sense grammatically (despite the source - lacking author (site disclaimer so not reliable source) - using the term). "Functioning" is not a "skillset". "Behavior" can include skill sets. "Functioning" is a more global term, "a general concept of coping" and "coping strategies". e.g. [33] (Click on Google scholar above under "Find sources") MathewTownsend (talk) 12:02, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • p.s. The one source in the article Adaptive functioning is a site soliciting business for "Shahal Rozenblatt, Ph.D. • Clinical Neuropsychologist
Advanced Psychological Assessment, P.C. • 50 Karl Avenue, Suite 104
Smithtown, NY 11787 • 137 East 36 Street, Suite 4, New York, NY 10016 • Tel: 866-840-9790"
Also, please note that skillset redirects to: "Creative Skillset is the Sector Skills Council which supports skills and training for people and businesses to ensure the UK creative industries stay competitive and productive." - so how is this link relevant to the Adaptive behavior article? So this article, Adaptive functioning explains nothing and there is nothing to merge - unless you want to introduce Creative Skillset, the UK Sector Skills Council into the Adaptive behavior article. That article is already such a mess that it doesn't need this kind of unreliably sourced confusion added to it. MathewTownsend (talk) 18:38, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No actual evidence of notability for the book, which worldcat reports to be found in only 230 libraries. The Bloomberg article is about the person and the trading method, not the book specifically. The book is covered in the article on Covel, which is sufficient. I'm bringing this here instead of just redirecting, so that the decision will stick (and the promotional article history get deleted). I deplore the practice of trying to get multiple promotional articles. It's much safer to stick to one modest article.

Keep This is untrue. The Bloomberg article has a 500 word profile of the book. The book also has mentions in Daily Finance and Futures Magazine The Hindu, all of which are notable publications. I'm not sure why worldcat is being mentioned here - that's almost definitely WP:OR.

There's only so much you can describe in a single article on Conservatism without sapping its coherence and overloading it beyond most readers' willingness to read. —— Shakescene (talk) 07:53, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep A term used and very readily understood in the the context of contemporary UK politics. The evidence is the way in which it is used in the titles of books and articles in the UK as a glance at Google will demonstrate. It works as a term not just because the UK Conservative Party is in coalition with the Liberal Democrats; it explains why and how David Cameron can argue that he is being philosophically coherent in on the one hand supporting the preservation of the best of inherited values and institutions and at the same time supporting eg gay marriage as an individual freedom. --AJHingston (talk) 09:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, appears to have sufficient coverage to warrant notability. Then again there is this other form of the usage of the work dating back to at least 1937, and this. Subject is notable per multiple academic sources (such as 1 and 2).--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 09:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
the sources you listed make the case for this being merged into classical liberalism, page 106 box 5.1 liberal conservatism is classical liberalism, small government and thriving capitalism page 105, 106 box 5.1, Analyzing Politics: An Introduction to Political ScienceDarkstar1st (talk) 11:09, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The very fact that we have in this one debate arguments in favour of a merger with articles on conservatism and on liberalism says a lot. And no, the policies espoused by Mr Cameron (to take a contemporary example) are not simply those of classical liberalism, though of course there are ideas consistent with that. The philosophy does, for example, accept that the state can have a positive impact on social wellbeing, and that the case for state intervention and participation in any instance is essentially pragmatic. In particular, it can conserve beneficial aspects of civil society that untrammelled freedom may tend to destroy. --AJHingston (talk) 12:29, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If a Head of Government describes his political philosophy in a particular way, then his use of the term becomes notable in WP terms and it get written about in that way then, now and subsequently. That includes disagreeing with his use of the term to describe his views, but that is just POV.

The 1937 source uses the term "Liberal-Conservatism" (in capitals) as a reference to the Canadian "Liberal-Conservative Party" (which was a coalition of conservatives and some liberals). E.A. Houseman's article, which is also about Canada, says, "By liberal conservatism I refer to a discourse of liberalism...that consciously styled itself in opposition to the more radical forms of liberalism...." Your next source uses the term to distinguish the free market liberalism of Margaret Thatcher from the Tory paternalism of Ian Gilmour. Your next source, which is an introductory US textbook, uses the term "classical liberal conservatism" to refer to free market liberalism. So apparently these sources are mostly using the term to refer to neoclassical liberalism, which is what the article should be called. TFD (talk) 13:45, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps then the due to the multitude of different meanings of the word/subject perhaps this article should be recreated as a disambiguate article, with different articles (with slightly different names) speaking about those different usages of the work.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:17, 18 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Being the one that put in the second and third source, maybe I should have a say on that. I am a political sociologist and have known the term "liberal conservative"for quite a long time. There`s nothing particularly controversial about its use. When I looked it up on wikipedia I found the article wasn`t particularly good, so what I did was to look for an online politics handbook, as those are better at putting long academic discussions into a compact form and that is a good way to go if you want to improve the intro of an article on a political ideology. There`s nothing obscure about a mainstream politcs handbook. From my experience I found it to be in agreement with academic literature and well phrased, so I used it. Trying to check it now on google, I found out they have taken the 2007 edition out and you can only access the 2008 edition (nothing obscure about yearly editions, right?), where this discussion goes on item 4.5 Liberal or Market Conservatism (p.117-120).
Now, I understand other users have found the term "clearly not to exist elsewhere" and "no improvement with sources have been made", but since my contributions are not that old and any person with knowledge on the field could attest that this is common political parlance, I must say, respectfully, they have no idea what they are talking about. Of course it would be nice to discuss in more detail how Burke, Tocqueville, Aron, Oakeshott and others relate to this ideology, and we could do a much better job about how political parties relate to it. That is no reason to delete the article, it is a reason to improve it!
On the matter of "neologism": a simple google academic search shows a lot of references to it, including a citation to this:

A View of Reform: By a Liberal Conservative. With Some Suggestions for a Reform Bill - 1866 - Dorrell

On the matter of David Cameron: yes, it is highly relevant that he identifies himself as such, and no, the fact that he does is not in any case necessary for this article to be considered important.
On the matter of "this is classical liberalism": no, what confuses people is that the "liberal" part in liberal conservatism is not what many (mostly americans) consider to be liberalism: it is the defense of capitalist property rights, free markets, guarantee of contracts, praise of meritocracy, and yes, small government. That is called classic liberalism in the united states and I`ve got no problem with that as long as it doesn`t cloud our vision from the fact that in political science and philosophy the definitions are different from those you see on your favorite news channel or paper. The conservatism comes from the defense of tradition and natural inequalities as inherent to human nature.
On how come people think this should be deleted: this is just a guess, but I think some people are confused to learn that much of what is called "true conservatism" in american everyday parlance is completely embedded in a liberal (classical liberal, if you wish) ideology that perpasses the whole of american mainstream political organizations. Some of those confused get angry with the idea that somehow what they consider conservatism is widely understood by academics to be closely related to liberalism, as they confuse liberalism with what they hear is liberalism on the news. Again, that is fine and understandable and nobody owns words. But come on, this is an encyclopedia people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marco.natalino (talk • contribs) 22:43, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete pending evidence that the school is actually accredited to issue degrees. That evidence is currently lacking. The school's website [37], while it claims to issue a "master degree," is rather vague about it, and their physical therapy program is forthright in stating that it gives only a two-year associate's degree, after which students will have to go elsewhere to complete their bachelor's. It's possible this "university" exists mainly as a gleam in someone's eye. They don't have an application form[38] or even a physical address that I could find. I found absolutely no coverage at Google News Archive. --MelanieN (talk) 03:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Accreditation is not necessary for an academic institution to be notable. Unaccredited schools can be notable, based on third-party published documentation. Further, note that the California BPPE officially "approves" many unaccredited schools, so the absence of Takshili from the BPPE lists can be considered unusual. --Orlady (talk) 04:15, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
True, unaccredited schools can be notable based on WP:GNG; this school fails the GNG standard because it lacks coverage at Google News Archive, as I noted. My mention of accreditation was to see if it might qualify via the "automatic notability" standard for accredited degree-granting institutions; without evidence of accreditation it does not. --MelanieN (talk) 14:15, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You could as well ask why is there an article about Hitler, but not about the millions of people that died in the concentration camps. It's an emotional question that has no place when assessing the notability of something. After all, dying itself is not a notable act, since we all do it sooner or later, and getting killed by someone isn't either (at least most of the time). On the other hand, if you do something just horrible enough you will gain enough notoriety and notability to be the subject of books, movies, documentaries and, yes, Wikipedia articles. That's the way it is, and has been for thousands of years. You better deal with it, because neither you, nor anyone else on this planet can change it. (Lord Gøn (talk) 14:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC))[reply]
Comparing Holmes with Hitler is just stupid Hitler is indeed Notably but Holmes is not! Fox2k11 (talk) 14:40, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I did not compare Holmes with Hitler. I know very well that Hitler's pesence permeates history quite a bit stronger than Holmes', but that's totally besides the point I was trying to make. What I wanted to say was that argumenting from an emotional point of view like you did is totally useless when trying to evaluate the notability of anything, so you could as well have asked why is there an article about Hitler (certainly notable), but not the (mostly not notable) victims of his folly. It is a totally meaningless question in this regard. But ok, you say that Holmes is not notable, nor is any other criminal, but that is your point of view and in the big picture it does not matter, because notability is not a dependent of a single person, but those of many, though not necessarily of the majority.
Anyway, don't you think that saying no criminal should get an article on Wikipedia, even if he was or is the subject of continuous media coverage like Mark Chapman, is a little bit absolutist? I mean, certainly you would agree that a criminal who killed a million people by, say, detonationg a nuclear bomb in a major city should be the subject of his own article, even if he was notable for nothing else. And if you agree to that, you may excuse if I ask the question how many people has somebody to kill in your eyes to warrant his own article? If a million is enough, is 100,000 also? What about 1000, 100, or 10? Though, in the end the number doesn't really matter, as even a single murder can make you notable – certainly this is the case with Gavrilo Princip (ok, double murder), or Lee Harvey Oswald. (Lord Gøn (talk) 15:37, 17 August 2012 (UTC))[reply]
No, my point is that it doesn't matter how many you killed if there is an article about the crime one has Commited it's fine when the perpetrator is mentioned there but why has there a full article of the perpetrator including what he did before and what his background are? is that Really Necessary? Fox2k11 (talk) 18:44, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just to make sure I understand you correctly, you think the social background of somebody who killed a million people would be irrelevant and not of interest and shouldn't be covered in detail? Then how do you think should we understand the motivation of anybody, if we disregard his life previous to his crime? Isn't it the purpose of a biography to get a fuller understanding of a person, to maybe find a hint somewhere in his personal history that might explain why he acted how he acted, did what he did? (Lord Gøn (talk) 22:53, 17 August 2012 (UTC))[reply]
sorry for my late reply was kinda busy.. I agree with what you said above but currently there is nothing about Holmes that would meet that criteria you stated above since not much is known about him what i wanted to say was is it really necessary to know what his childhood was or what he did years before the shooting? Fox2k11 (talk) 03:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I can only speak on behalf of myself, of course, but yes, I would say that it is necessary to show what he did prior to the shooting, especially the most basic information, like where he went to school etc., should be present even in a remotely complete biography. And a lot of psychologists would be wasting their time trying to uncover the childhood of serial and mass murderers, if it weren't important in the context of their crimes. Knowning what a person went through in his life may help to understand why things went the way they did.(Lord Gøn (talk) 12:28, 21 August 2012 (UTC))[reply]

  • Keep. As it says, WP:BLP1E should be applied only to low-profile individuals, and after about a month of continuous worldwide news coverage about his person, I'd say it would be quite a stretch of the term to call Holmes still low-profile. Furthermore, you don't need a crystal ball to know with quite a bit of certainty that intermittent reporting about him will continue at least as long as his trial is ongoing, which will in all probability be for another year or two, as similar cases have shown repeatedly. And you may call WP:OSE all you want, but there are articles about Jared Loughner, Nidal Hasan, Robert Bales and numerous other mass shooters, and as the aforementioned guideline states:
When used correctly though, these comparisons are important as the encyclopedia should be consistent in the content that it provides or excludes.

  • Keep *Sigh* I just knew that an AfD would pop up sooner or later for this article, my opinion is though that this article is not likely going to be deleted at the very least a redirect would be in place as the suspect goes without dispute with the 2012 Aurora shooting event per the sources. After redirect comes the option of a merge which was discussed here: Talk:James Eagan Holmes/Archive 1#Merge. The merge result ended in no consensus but as an editor pointed out showed the arguements for each issue brought forward. So that leaves Keep which in my opinion is the right thing to do here, Holmes is a high profile person with enough coverage to warrent a seperate article, See also: Wikipedia:Who is a low profile individual. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 21:57, 17 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I just noticed that the original challenger of this article's existence also stated that if a victim can't have a Wikipedia article, neither should the suspect. Victims of crimes do have their own articles. Unfortunately, victims are often tossed to the wayside by media and other news sources. Unless a particular victim stands apart from the crowd, it is unlikely that they will receive special attention. However, if there is sufficient information available to create a quality article, go forth and create one. Pritchard 00:13, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
Yes thats right I started a Stub on "Jessica Ghawi" (see the talk page) and Raised Vailid points (sources) that she is like you say "stands apart from the crowd" but the stub has been reverted due to WP:BLP1E so i came to the conclusion that an article about the suspect falls into to the same "BLP1E" Rule but it Seems i either understand WP:BLP1E wrong or my sources are not enough (not valid) to notably lift her up from the crowd!

  • Keep This article clearly does not meet criteria for deletion. Even though Holmes is just a suspect, the shooting is a noteworthy incident that made national, if not international headlines. There are plenty of other persons who had articles on them while suspects in high-profile criminal cases as well as somewhat less noteworthy cases than this.

The second one doesn't work because he's still awaiting trial; the third one doesn't apply because the event itself is significant. ZappaOMati 21:47, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable blogger; fails WP:BIO. I can't really find anything in the way of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. The article itself admits that he's 'best known for starting the "Obama Eats Dogs" meme'; what little coverage there is only mentions him in that context, so this is a WP:BLP1E at best.

Previous AfD closed as "no consensus". Previous AfD nomination still is valid: "Article describes a short-lived magazine and its even shorter-lived offshoot. During their brief existence, the only attention received from independent sources (of doubtful reliability - some read like press releases) consists of brief mentions in a marketing magazine and on two local radio/TV stations. Does not meet WP:NMEDIA or WP:GNG". In addition, it would seem that the sole raison d'être for this article is to get even with its publisher, given the persistency with which some SPA editors repeatedly include specifically that the bankruptcy entailed the non-payment of outstanding wages (nothing exceptional in case of a bankruptcy), sometimes by including unsubstantiated (unverified OR and SYNTH) information on a to-be-published novel (itself also non-notable) that purportedly is about the events around this magazine. No substantial sources have been added in the 4 months since the last AfD and the existing sources are to press releases, the magazines' websites, and some very minor publicitary coverage on local radio stations. Given that neither of these two magazines exist any more, it is highly unlikely that any additional sources will be forthcoming. In all: Delete.

  • Comment Given the general name of the magazine, it is difficult to search. However, I don't see anything of value on the first few pages of a Google search (links above) and the sources that pop-up in the GNews source are already in the article. In addition, the mentioned SPA editors seem to have been directly involved with the magazine (from their behavior, I'd say they are former employees that didn't get their salaries when the company went bankrupt) and would have first-hand knowledge of any existing sources. As they, too, could not come up with anything substantial, I'm fairly confident that nothing substantial exists. And anyway, as said, it is highly unlikely that more sources will get published in future (and, of course, WP is not a crystal ball. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:10, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Red Pen and Guillaume are being altogether too harsh and are employing a level of scrutiny, that if utilized elsewhere on Wikipedia, would lead to 3/4s of its articles being deleted (spare me the "other crap exists" tag. This article isn't "crap"). There are nine sources here, far more than are needed to warrant Amsterdam Magazine/Schiphol Magazine's inclusion on the site. Furthermore, the article deserves to live on, if only to serve as an epithet for the magazines. Someone out there seems eager to erase all existence of them off the internet.

Non-notable academic. I can't (or maybe haven't) establish(ed) the notability of James John Miles within or without his field in academia. He has certainly published a number of works, but neither his work nor impact is astounding. Although he may indeed significant, it is with a heavy heart that I nominate the article concerning him for deletion. Qwerty Binary (talk) 16:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

James John Miles is a Full Professor and a head of department at a Russell Group University, in an internationally leading research group.

  • Weak Delete without prejudice for recreation at a later date. There are several J J Miles' and they have to be distinguished. Search on Google scholar for "J J Miles" in appropriate topic area gives cites of 64, 41, 20, 20, 20, 18, 17,15,... with an h-index of 11. This is not enough to pass WP:Prof#C1 in a reasonably cited area; usually an h-index of 15 would be required. There does not seem to be a pass in other categories of WP:Prof. A little too early. I am prepared to change my vote if additional citations are found. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:01, 9 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]
    • I think rather than trying to do the search yourself it's easier to go from his Google scholar profile, where he's collected his own papers and separated them from the ones by other similarly-named people. That gives an h-index of 13 rather than 11, with two papers with cite counts 122 and 83 that you missed.

  • Weak delete. Full professor at a major research university is suggestive that he should pass WP:PROF, but I'm just not seeing the evidence that he does. The citation record is weaker than I would expect for someone with this level of seniority (despite at least one 100+-citation paper) and it looks like this is a field where author order matters and he is neither first nor last author on that paper. I tend to think that studying magnetic storage media as he does is a bit of a dying industry but that's neither here nor there; what I'm not seeing is significant impact by him in that industry. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:57, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep -- I agree with Xxanthippe and David's overall assessment of the citation searches (which they're in a better position to interpret for CS/EE than I am), but I put more emphasis on the weight of his position (esp. given that it's a UK professorship) and institution plus the fact that some of his earliest first authored papers are less likely to rack up h-index citations because of their age. These aspects lead me to believe he has passed the WP:PROF bar, though just barely. As a further tie-breaker, the quality and non-overtly promotional nature of the article, which don't establish notability but help assure me that the encyclopedia is improved by its inclusion, push it over the keep line for me. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 23:13, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It can be frustrating when an academic article that to meets the notability criteria gets nominated for deletion and yet wikipedia is FULL of pages of dubious notability. The original person who nominated this article for deletion (QweryBinary), even says "Please accept my apologies for my haste" (in deletion) Duncan.Hull (talk) 11:29, 21 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is quite true that Wikipedia has plenty of pages of dubious notability, but WP:other stuff exists is no excuse for not keeping academic BLP pages to a uniformly high standard. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:55, 21 August 2012 (UTC).[reply]
