Weak keep: I tend to give the benefit of the doubt on notability to geographical features like towns and so on. I've redacted out the unsourced tourist guide stuff and reduced the article to a fact-of-existence stub. I think it can stand this way... -- BenTels (talk) 07:03, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete per A7 criterion: no claim of significance (the fact that Guardian accepted their quote can't be held for such claim). Nowhere close to satisfying WP:NCORP and promotional in tone. In the end, this is a a company with no notable products. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 12:32, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- There is some irony in the fact that of the only two sources claiming this app to be "best of London apps" one is US-based and another provides advertising as publishing press releases and writing paid news items. Both items are published after this AfD began, BTW. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:23, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - None of the sources suggest that this company is notable. NB: I did decline the speedy deletion, as some significance was asserted, even if notability was not established. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 13:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just of curiosity: in your opinion, how is significance asserted? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:40, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, they did win a contest. See the thread about this on Lady's talk page. I also initially tagged this page with a db-corp tag, but that was based on the Guardian thing appearing to be just an entry into the contest, not as an actual winner of it; Lady corrected me and declined my speedy. Anyway, I'd say that winning a contest is significant enough to pass the A7 test, although only just. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 13:48, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - I don't get the logic: the link goes to one of several contestants. Furthermore, the notice on the sidebar says that Guardian's review results in featuring the entry. As one may notice following this link, this just didn't happen. In fact the reference leads to the form, filled by the company's CEO and (as of now) not approved by Guardian. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:02, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - Eh, to be honest, I didn't really put that much thought into accepting Lady's rationale. My initial nom was based on a misreading of the contest rules, where I thought the contest hadn't ended yet and so the company couldn't possibly have won it; after talking to Lady I took another look and saw that I was mistaken about the rules, so I went with it without much further thought. Between AfD or CSD, it's not really a big deal; it gets just as deleted either way. (Technically, AfD is more deleted, if you want to pick nits). Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 14:24, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the page's history, this article is obviously an autobiography and it seems the subject has used multiple accounts. The proposed deletion tag I added was removed so here we are at AfD.

The result was delete. A pat on the back to Mark for carefully considering the decision and being willing to bring it back for some more input, but with more input (I considered input from both discussions, since this is essentially a relist), I believe the question of whether or not we have sufficient sourcing to write an article has been sufficiently addressed, and the answer I see consensus for is "Not at this time."

Iain Martell

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

I closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iain Martell (2nd nomination) as delete in that I felt there was a narrow consensus to delete. After further thought and discussion, I think it was probably closer to a "No Consensus". So I've restored the page and relisted it to gain a clearer consensus. A specific issue in the last Afd that hindered consensus was whether the coverage that he's received apart from MMA is enough to satisfy the WP:GNG, so please comment on that. I am neutral.

Weak Delete It seems like he's not quite notable either as a fighter or as a celebrity. As a fighter, he fails WP:MMANOT, since he doesn't have any fights for a top tier promotion. As a celebrity, most of the links provided aren't really about him, he's just mentioned in a couple sentences in an article about someone else. I don't think he quite passes WP:GNG. CaSJer (talk) 00:12, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I am a bit surprised by this - with the exception of the primary author the consensus of the last discussion was delete. The subject is not yet notable as a fighter so the case seems to be does a couple appearances on a game/dating show confer enough added notability to warrant an article. As mentioned above the links provided are really not about him and being mentioned in passing does not make one notable.Peter Rehse (talk) 01:47, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep page passes WP:GNG. Martell is notable for being a television personality as well as being a successful mixed martial artist in one of the UK's top promotions. As I have stated to the closing admin for the 2nd nomination, the three users who voted delete did so on baseless ground, which I broke down for the admin and after careful thought he realised that to delete the page was irrational, hence he reinstated the page providing that it goes back through an AfD under a new listing. And from I see from the votes so ar, I am seeing the same type of votes made in this one as in the last. MMANOT has been proven to be flawed, partially because it does state at the top of the page that the guideline can be used to interpreted notability, it doesn't say anything about being the de facto of notability for MMA related pages. Also I have also stated to the admin that the guideline failed to show other notable promotion such as the Super Fight League (India's biggest promotion), One Fighting Championship (the biggest and fastest growing promotion in Asia), the International Fight League (covered by mainstream sources and competed with the UFC at its height) or Invicta Fighting Championships (biggest woman's MMA promotion in North America) so for the guideline to not include UCMMA shouldn't affect notability at all. And I must point out that everyone is making it sound like that the only other sources out there on him outside his MMA is more related to another person. The fact is that it only covers a small part of his celebrity, as there as plenty of independent sources out there on him relating to TV appearances as well, and even with the two articles relating to Katie Price, it isn't like he is mentioned in just one line on just one paragraph from a poor source, he is mentioned on multiple articles for The Sun, the UK's biggest tabloid paper, and each article went into detail about, including a possible crush on Martell and Alex Reid getting confrontational with Martell and his gym members at one point. Hardly un-relating articles and overall I am still awaiting a good case for deletion. Pound4Pound (talk) 09:18, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I fully agree that MMANOT is flawed, especially when it comes to event notability, but the inclusion criteria for fighters is pretty clear and seems to be working pretty well. I agree that UCMMA is notable, and maybe should be added to the list of second tier organizations, but it's not a top tier organization along the lines of UFC or Strikeforce. Even if it's comparable to BAMMA, it's still second tier, and five fights for them still doesn't pass the guideline. As far as the sources, The Sun is the strongest source, but it's also the source where he gets the least coverage. The stories are about Katie Price, and Iain Martell is only mentioned in passing at the end. The source that really is about him, the Evening News 24 source, is local news, and wouldn't normally be enough to count as significant coverage. Even after looking at the sources again, I still don't think he quite passes GNG, sorry... CaSJer (talk) 12:04, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The whole of MMANOT is flawed, thats my point, you can add in UCMMA to the second tier promotions as well as the other four promotions I used as an example, however it still wouldn't put a dent into the many problems with the guideline. And as such using it as a policy that this page fails to meet, and hence delete on that basis, would just be wrong. The closing admin to the last AfD agreed with me on that point and because of that MMANOT should not be used to justify a reason to delete this page. As far as the sources go, I believe them to be quite strong, as some are from major sources, and as for the ones that people say hardly cover him, it would be like saying adding those sources and information to Alex Reid's page, particularly mentioning his issues with Martell, and trying to delete that bit of information on more than one occasion off his page just because the sources doesn't cover him in the majority. That is what I am trying to say. I think should try to remember that he has appeared on TV on more than one occasion, the first was for a hit dating game show on one of the top TV channels in the UK, ITV. The other was for a comedy show that was on the BBC, the biggest in the UK, and the episode that he appeared drew in more than 4 million people watching. Add in the fact he fights for a big promotion that is one Sky Sports, he is clearly notable. Pound4Pound (talk) 12:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Also if anyone is interested in reading my discussion with Mark Arsten (closing admin to 2nd nomination) to read my points in detail, read here - User talk:Mark Arsten#Iain Martell — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pound4Pound (talk • contribs) 09:24, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. WP:TOOSOON. Like another user above, I was confused why this process was considered close; I thought the closing statement offering to userfy was a reasonable compromise. I myself only relisted the procedure, making no assertion. In this procedure, I'll assert the subject has been in the MMA business a very short time, has an admirable but very brief record. I see little in sources outside of routine sports and entertainment coverage. The Sun coverage is bare mention. The rest are blogs. Only the Norwich source stands the test of RS, and IMHO, we don't have enough upon which to base a BLP. I have zero problem with userfication so the page can be improved, but I don't see a way this could be returned to mainspace without improvement. BusterD (talk) 16:07, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you read my statement to the closing admin on his talk page, you'd see why he changed his mind. I pointed out that the only three delete votes were made without any real detail, any proper explanation, or in some cases without any seriousness as to why they reckon the page wasn't notable (one user's mocking at the end of their vote pretty much told use how they felt). But as will keep on repeating until the end of this AfD if necessary, The closing admin AGREED with me when I brought up these points to him after the last AfD was closed, hence why were are back with another AfD. Pound4Pound (talk) 12:27, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick note - the closing admin agreed to re-open the AfD in order to gain a more clear consensus - he didn't agree that the article should be kept. The decision to re-open discussion shouldn't sway voters one way or the other. CaSJer (talk) 13:01, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but in order to agree to do something you would have to believe in it to an extent, and in the case where you decide on one thing, and then changed your mind based off what one person said, then a sense of agreeing with a person is in place. I am not trying to sway voters, just stating facts where they are needed, I am seeing too many votes being made that have not been thought through, researched into the topic in question and/or even not tried to take it serious so all I am doing is stating the fact where they are needed is all. Not trying to cause issues. Pound4Pound (talk) 13:10, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"...delete votes were made without any real detail, any proper explanation, or in some cases without any seriousness as to why they reckon the page wasn't notable (one user's mocking at the end of their vote pretty much told use how they felt)." I apologize if you felt I was mocking you, Mr Martell, or the AfD process - I was only making a silly joke about a name; I can see that this is a topic that you are passionate about, and a dumb joke may have been in poor taste on my part. While my statement about Mohammed Ali was not serious, I do have serious reservations about Martell's notability: as I stated in my comment at the previous AfD, I don't believe that his passing mention in The Sun and celebrity gossip articles (this seems to be your main evidence) in which he is only talked about in the context of how he relates to other celebrities like Katie Price don't add to the evidence of his notability. Again, my apologies. Zujua (talk) 08:00, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete I agree with CaSJer's comments--the subject certainly does not meet the notability criteria for MMA fighters and I don't think he meets GNG. Jakejr (talk) 04:39, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Updates made to the page added in additional source for his appearance on John Bishop's Britain, adding in information about being a judge for a major swimwear competition last year WITH source, improved wording on Mixed Martial Arts career with additional source for upcoming fight. I urge those who made votes to please read over page again and decide whether to change your vote or keep them as they are base on your opinion after reading them. Pound4Pound (talk) 12:50, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. IMDB is not considered a reliable source. My analysis of sources remains unchanged. Another unchanged: User:Pound4Pound seems to be the only participant in any of these AfDs who is asserting keep for this subject. BusterD (talk) 13:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would be more satisfy that a page that is notable was deleted based on good arguments from the side to delete than that based entirely on poor arguments to delete. I must admit that better arguments are being made in this AfD to delete than in the last one, however I feel it is still not enough and that is why I am adamant that the result of this AfD should be keep. If it does get deleted though, I will still have the page on my sandbox so at a later date when he rises higher in the MMA rankings and gets into bigger and bigger promotions as well as any other TV work, then I can always reinstate the page and along with the added information relating to him to clarify notability. This is not me saying I have given on this AfD, this is me saying that if this AfD goes the opposite way I want it to go, then I can always keep it on my space, regularly update it and when the time comes where I feel he is even bigger than now, then I will state my case for the closing admin to this one and show him the changes since the last one. However, this is happen IF this results to a delete, and I will attempt to change opinions by showing them the facts, encourage them to read through the page more carefully and get an overall better opinion of the page before making their votes. Last thing I want is another AfD for this page in place simply because people who vote from here on are making uncoordinated votes. Pound4Pound (talk) 14:17, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd contend trying to convince editors in this discussion isn't an effective use of your time. Because the subject engages in battling, this doesn't mean that battleground behavior or campaigning in this discussion process is a preferred strategy. If you want to sway participants in AfD, I believe the maximum effectiveness lies in improving the page. Sources like blogs, IMDB, or Sherdog have limited utility; I don't consider any of those as reliable. The best types of sources for sports figures, IMHO, are sports magazines and sports sections from notable newspapers. Sandboxing the page prior to deletion is much like userfying, and is a reasonable strategy in cases like this when the sources available haven't quite reached the critical mass required for inclusion in an encyclopedia. BusterD (talk) 14:51, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You are missing my point though, I am not convincing people to vote keep, I am convincing the vote properly, I have already stated that I am okay with an overall delete consensus ONLY if the votes were properly done through researching, careful reading and seriousness. I have been improving the page as I just added in sources before I came back to this AfD. So if people want to check them out, please go ahead. And if it does get deleted what difference does it make whether I got a copy of it in my sandbox or not? At least there I can make improvements over time so that if there comes a time where he reaches to the top of the MMA world (such as the UFC) and/or makes it big in the TV world (hosts his own TV show on ITV/BBC) then it saves starting over from scratch like I had to do for this page due a previous user making such a poor version the first time, but it would of saved me some time to gain access to what was already on the original page (i.e. MMA record, boxes, sources etc.). So regardless of where this AfD goes I will keep it updated through my sandbox. Pound4Pound (talk) 15:45, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete The article has been improved since the last discussion, but I still don't think notability has been sufficiently shown. Mdtemp (talk) 17:43, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ This article has spawned from a minor edit war on Fred 2: Night of the Living Fred. In the edit war, there was a section called "Sequel" that was uncited, and I deleted. The next day, the other party re-inserted it, redlinked the title, and cited his source. The day after that, I removed the red link. Finally, the other party created this article and bluelinked it on the Fred 2 page. It has absolutely no resources and is simply the result of a pointless edit war. Even if resources are found, it should be deleted. Newellington (talk) 23:19, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- As numerous sources for the sequel are readily available, a far better tack than repeatedly removing the good faith, non-controversial edits in a "minor edit war" , would have to actually sourced the sequel section yourself or shown how it was sourcable.

Comment: My point with my argument is that one WikiUser is just trying to prove a point and get his way with uncited information on a new article that stemmed from this minor edit war. I understand that I can offer sources, but I personally think that the article shouldn't have been created all at once, unsourced, where everyone can see it. It looks more like a fan base to me than a Wikipedia article, and should be deleted and replaced, slowly. It can most definitely be improved in its current state, but the better thing to do would be to start all over, so it doesn't look like a fan base, covered up by citations. Newellington (talk) 15:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response: We do not begin and start over when issues can otherwise be addressed through regular editing... as IS being done. (more below). Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Solid Keep per meeting WP:NF and WP:GNG through sources being available for improving the article. Sure, we have a topic contributed by an unschooled newcomer, and the thing as nominated is a glaring mass of plot and contained no sources. So what? When WP:BEFORE finds that sources ARE available, we fix such article... not delete them through retaliation at what a newcomer contributed elsewhere. We do not delete because something is a possible target of probematic edits. We can watch. We can protect. We can improve such ourselves and show through example that it CAN be done. As shown above... one such sets of repeatedly removed edits in a related article were ultimately sourced. regular editing is far preferred over a battling over addressable issues. Note: it took only took about two minutes to begin adding sources.[4] What we need now is the use of more of the available sources,[5][6] and someone (maybe even me) to trim the living daylights out of the newcomer's overlong plot section. Addressable issues rarely require deletion, and AFD is not for forcing cleanup. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:43, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will say the same thing to you that I said to Schmidt. The article [WP:UGLY|stinks]. The best thing to do is to delete it in its current form and replace it with something that doesn't look like a fan site. Sources were available, but the person creating the article chose to make it look like a fan site, completely uncited. I personally think that once we work past the bias that this article contains, we can choose to ditch the article in its current form or improve on the current article. In the same way as people choose to stop editing from one account completely and begin fresh, articles can undergo the same type of process. Newellington (talk) 15:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Any issue with one editor's lacking clue is to be addressed in a diferent venue. We do not nominate their contributions in retaliation, specially when such contributions are of sourcable notable topics. As stated above, we do not begin and start over when issues can otherwise be easily addressed through regular editing... as IS being done. Sure... it did "stink" when nominated but so what? It no longer stinks.[7] Your claim that an unschooled newbie being interesed in editing a topic somehow and automatically creates a negative WP:BIAS is unfounded... specially as what's always worth remembering is that if someone is not interested in a topic, they have little inclination to actually edit it. Being myself active with project film, I DO have such inclination and I can put aside any personal feelings about the lack of quality of Fred projects. Point here being, though I personally think Fred projects are pretty crappy, they DO have sourcable notability... and THAT'S how our inclusion criteria work. We do not punish someone's being interested in contributing, and instead guide them in how to do properly so. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That much is true. As I have said to Schmidt and MichaelQSchmidt, we can choose to self-destruct the article like some users choose to start fresh, or we can improve upon the current article. It would be much easier to destroy the current article and replace it with one that isn's a fansite. Newellington (talk) 15:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Response: WP:CLEANSTART refers to a user wishing a "clean start", and has nothing to do with article content. You might be thinking of ""blow it up and start over" which is an essay dealing with "pages so hopelessly irreparable that the only solution is to blow it up and start over"... a situation which does not exist in this instance, bad as the original version might have been when nominated. Have you read WP:UGLY? More, you seem to be acknowledging notability, but appear for some reason to simply not want editors to work to improve what we already have, as IS already being done.[8] Plot section has already been massively reduced and sources have begun to be added. Per deletion policy we fix the fixable. Addressing addressable isues is specifically per editing policy and doing so improves the project, while deleting notable topics that could otherwise benefit from regular editing does not. As for starting from scratch... sorry, not reasonable here. Such would be unneccesarily bitey toward newcomers, and NOTHING in the article fell under WP:CANTFIX. A better result is that the newcomers whom you feel might be too interested, might actually learn from the positive examples of our proactively and positively addessing issues. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on Response to Comment I use WP:CLEANSTART analogously. Also, given that the plot and the sources are improving, my second option may turn out to work. However, I would much rather just blow it up. I'm not trying to bite a newcomer, I just want them to understand that an article can't be created out of an edit war! Please at least consider my argument, please! Newellington (talk) 00:30, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Being one of those willing and able to address your earlier concerns toward a (former) lack of sourcing and problems with (former) content, I simply do not find your argument about starting over to be very convincing. And that the article was initiated in response to a conflict over addressable issues with another article elsewhere is only worth consideration if the new article's topic was non-notable or if issues were not addressable. We do not delete notable topics in retaliation. We fix them. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:40, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Final Response Two things: 1. I do realize that problems have begun to be solved. Therefore, I withdraw all of my "delete" arguments on Fred 3. 2: I was NOT trying to be bitey to a newcomer! Newellington (talk) 16:40, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The stated problems of no reputable sources and a gaping mess of plot have been fixed. The problems of it being started by a minor edit war have been resolved. Therefore, the only plausible solution is to not blow it up, but instead to improve on it as it is. Option two of all of my previous delete arguments seems to be the one that most people agree on; and since that is the definition of "consensus", it can be assumed that this is the correct way to do it, at least for now. If the newbie tries to revert it back to the gaping mess of plot that was completely uncited, however, I would like to be the one to warn him that this AfD is still open. Newellington (talk) 16:40, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lucifer's Unholy Desire

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

Non notable unreleased film. In June 2011 this article was taken to afd. At 17:32, 12 June 2011 that afd ended "The result was userfied - needs some coverage before this can be hosted in mainspace." and the article was userfied one minute later. At 17:36, three minutes later, in act showing total comtempt for the afd's consensus the article was moved back by its original (single purpose) creator. No more coverage was found. The film is still (acording to IMDB) unreleased an has not recived any significant coverage since the last afd. The original consensus that this article does not belong in the mainspace should stand and given that if this had stayed userfied it would likely be deleted as stale draft this current mainspace article should be deleted instead of userfying again. (This may under the spirit of the rule be eligible for a G4 speedy deletion). duffbeerforme (talk) 07:29, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article continued to be refined in userspace, and not being the same as what was userfied, does not quite qualify as a G4 recreation. Indeed, userfication is done with an expectation that an article might one day return to mainspace after improvements. The author simply returned it prematurely. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 03:15, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It was not refined in userspace. It was immediately returned unchanged [11]. Exactly the same does qualify for g4. duffbeerforme (talk) 07:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... sorry. I see now that IF caught 13 months ago in June of 2011. it would have then qualified as a G4. But no one caught it last year as being returned to article space, and it was subsequently edited and changed (this is exactly the sort of editing one would have expected or hoped for in userspace). Shame on the author for not understanding just why it was returned to him for continued work. The version that existed 12 months ago, the version that was at that time G4-able, no longer exists... and as the G4 issue has been rendered moot, it is a bit tough now to stuff the genie back into his bottle. IE: We cannot say "Hey! I didn't G4 it when I should have, so let's G4 a significantly different version a year later." If the newb author cannot be made to understand that his actions in returning it a year ago was inappropriate, the article is best sent to the incubator for collaborative editing and more eyes watching over it... yours and mine included.

I think that is notable, plus if this film is the return of Camera Chatham after 25 years of being out of the business and has Doug Bradly attached, I think this film is notable, plus so many other users have refined the article . . . yet none of them thought as you do, or is this a personal vendetta against one of the people involved with the film? 76.120.176.21 (talk) 22:18, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incubate (or return to its author again with careful instruction about his need to heed WP:NFF or check on with Project Film before a return) until newer sources come forward indicating it finally screened somewhere. As one of those who refined the article, it is still too soon. To IP #76.120.176.21... this is no vendetta. Please read WP:NFF to see how we deal with unreleased films. To merit being an exception to that guideline, an unreleased film needs far more persistant and enduring coverage than does this one. The problem here is that there has been no new coverge since June of 2011. It's as if it disappeared. And yes... it was mentioned recently in Catholic Exchange but only so far as to remark that last year's trailer raised some eybrows and to link us to a May 2011 interview of the filmmaker.

Keep - While the content appears to be a straight rip from the description of the Edward L. Todd papers at the Smithsonian Institution, the fact that Todd's named papers ARE at the Smithsonian Institution strikes me as sufficient justification for encyclopedic biography.

Comment. I added some more sources to the article, one of which (an entry in a dictionary of entomology) may carry some weight towards notability. I'm undecided on the case myself: his publications have only double-digit citations, but taxonomy is a low-citation field. There are a lot of Wikipedia articles on Noctuidae that have citations to "Todd", which I would have to guess is this one, but the citations are all so fragmentary that it's hard to tell for sure. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:23, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Park, Estonia

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

A non-notable, planned housing development in Estonia currently selling off plan property. I can find no sources for this project which are not essentially their own press releases and blurbs. This article was essentially created by an IP tracing back to Estonia who over-wrote the former redirect page page to Oxford Park, Montreal in April 2011 [14]. Not surprisingly, this was about the same time the developers launched this, as yet, unbuilt project. Voceditenore (talk) 15:33, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It sounds like an interesting development, but then it would, wouldn't it, cited to a press release and the developer's website! The Construction News(?) article looks good and, if anyone with a knowledge of Estonian, can find any similar coverage, I'll happily change my 'vote'. Can't find anything else online myself. Sionk (talk) 16:56, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Darn, I've changed my recommendation three times in the last 45 minutes! Northamerica1000 has found some good sources. The Estonia Public Broadcasting articles seem particularly believable. The one concern I have is that there is no confirmation (not even on the OSG website) whether the project has (or will) become reality. When I changed my vote to 'Weak keep' I hadn't fully read the most recent ERR article (Dec 2011). It actually says the OSG have fallen out with their partners but hope the project "should be completed in ten years". This does not fill me with confidence that it will ever get off the ground (after all, a housing estate can be fully built in 12-18 months). If the first sod of earth gets cut, I will be happy to see this article resurrected. Sionk (talk) 12:28, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

—Northamerica1000^(talk) 01:35, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first one is virtually word-for-word from the company's own press release [15]. By the way, the translation of the title is inaccurate. It actually says "A new 200 million Euro village will be built in Rapla County". The second is from a website which accepts "contributed articles" [16] and invites press releases [17]. Unsurprisingly, the article is again virtually word-for word from their publicity materials. Ditto the first and third articles from Estonian Radio News (ERR), the only source that I would consider remotely useful for determining notability. The third ERR one explicitly acknowledges the company's press release as its source. Except for the second ERR article, all the remaining sources date from the same period when the company launched its internet marketing campaign (described here). The Wikipedia article, created at the same time is clearly a part of it.

So what we have here is a yet unbuilt housing development, whose "coverage" is derived from its own press releases and all concentrated between late March and early May of 2011, when they launched their marketing campaign. A brief article in December of that year notes that not a single off plan property had been sold and the company behind the project had fallen out with the real estate company. Then absolutely nothing. If this project ever really gets off the ground and starts generating real coverage, then it's time for a stand-alone article. Not now. At most, the material could be merged into Rapla County. On the other hand (and with tongue firmly in cheek), there are literally hundreds (possibly thousands) of Wikipedia articles consisting of non-notable projects and organizations advertising themselves here, so why not this one? Wikipedia, the PR Newswire that anyone can edit. Voceditenore (talk) 12:29, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I concur with others' analysis of the sources, leaving this article as WP:CRYSTAL per lack of independent in-depth reporting. It is not obvious this thing will ever come to be (WP cannot take the sponsor of the entity at its word alone) or will have suitable references available soon, so an objective article cannot be written at this time (the basic premise for writing about a future thing).

This article should not be merged with the state party. Many other government and political state leaders have their own wikipedia page. This includes the WV Senate President and Speaker of the House. He is a high profile individual in the West Virginia media and it can be assumed that his presence will continue to grow as the election nears. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CecilAlbertMoore (talk • contribs) 18:19, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:POLITICIAN. On reflection, I've no objection to this being merged and redirected to the state party article. That preserves the content in the event that Lucas does become notable in the future. For now I don't see enough coverage to justify a standalone bio. Valenciano (talk) 19:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the criteria in WP:POLITICIAN I believe that this article should stand due to the politician holding a statewide office CecilAlbertMoore (talk 19:56, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In that context, a statewide office refers to statewide public office in which the official is elected by the general public or appointed by another governmental official. The West Virginia Republican Party has no power to govern in such a manner. Location (talk) 20:08, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that a State GOP Chairman falls under the definition of a state public official. He is elected statewide by Republican members and while he is not part of the state government he still is considered a statewide official. CecilAlbertMoore (talk 20:12, 30 July 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by CecilAlbertMoore (talk • contribs)

A public official serves or represents the public; this subject serves or represents a party. Location (talk) 20:19, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A public official can clearly represent a non-governmental organization. Please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_official CecilAlbertMoore (talk) 20:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That article states: "A public official is an official of central or local government." The subject is not "an official of central or local government". Location (talk) 21:31, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It also states that it is someone who holds an office in an organization or government and participates in the exercise of authority (either his own or that of his superior and/or employer, public or legally private). — Preceding unsigned comment added by CecilAlbertMoore (talk • contribs) 23:35, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re: private. So, we are in agreement that the subject is an official of a non-public entity or organization (i.e. he is not a public official who is elected by the general public or appointed by another governmental official). Location (talk) 00:37, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We are most certainly not in agreement. The definition clearly states that leaders of non-governmental organizations qualify as public officials. I do not understand why we are contesting the creation of a high profile public figure in regional politics. CecilAlbertMoore (talk) 01:11, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do not see that stated clearly or otherwise in the article, so I'll guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Cheers! Location (talk) 02:28, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Purely promotional article about a non-notable would-be politician. He has never held public office; I considered a redirect to the 2010 congressional election, but he failed to win the nomination and is not mentioned at the article United States House of Representatives elections in West Virginia, 2010#District 3. I would also oppose a redirect to West Virginia Republican Party.

Delete: This person does not meet any of the criteria for WP:POLITICIAN: he has not held any public office, nor has he been elected to it. He has not received coverage as a local politician. And the West Virginia Republican Party chairmanship is not a state office, since the West Virginia Republican Party is not a state governmental organization but a private organization. One undoubtedly covered by WP:ORG, but notability is not inherited so simply being its chairman counts for nothing much more than WP:BLP1E, if that.

Shadow Cabinet of Harold Wilson

Comment Please WP:AGF. First, there was no edit war. When I looked at the article, it was in much worse shape than it is now, to the point that I felt it was better to redirect and/or delete it. So I redirected it to Harold Wilson. If the article is improved where it is more that a one paragraph list of names and dates, I don't have a problem with keeping it. GregJackP Boomer! 11:30, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't see any clear reasons to delete. What's so bad about the article that it can't be improved?

Keep this article about a very notable Polish rabbi. It satisfies WP:ANYBIO: "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" as well as WP:SCHOLAR in this case in the filed of advanced Talmudic scholarship One of his works is on file at Wikisource. The nominator's rationale makes no sense. This is NOT an "artist" this is a theologian and scholar of Judaism, a rosh yeshiva and posek, a great Judaic scholar who had his works published, as the article's plentiful citations make very clear. It is hard to put biographies of rabbis together and in this case the editors have done an excellent job. In addition a few experienced editors, (namely Users Bachrach44 (talk · contribs) and Brewcrewer (talk · contribs)), have recently been working diligently on improving the article, after it was nominated that has not been acknowledged by the nominator.

Keep Looking at WP:BIO, reveals separate notability guidelines that have been thoroughly explored for sports personalities, crime victims, and even porn stars because Wiki has been bombarded with article requests around those topics. I believe we do not have a similar set of dedicated criteria around religious figures, not because of the 'stickyness' and subjectivity of religious issues, but simply because there are fewer submissions, making it so far unnecessary that the issue be completely defined. In lieu of a defined criteria, I humbly suggest that a WP:COMMON approach would be to adopt a similar guideline as that used for Diplomats - "Diplomats who have participated in a significant way in events of particular diplomatic importance that have been written about in reliable secondary sources. Sufficient reliable documentation of their particular role is required." Using this test, I believe that Shtencel "participated in a significant way" to the culture of 20th century Judaism in Poland (an issue of importance), that this can be verified in RS per the current article, and that continued improvement to the article (as evidenced by its recent editing history) will likely result in even more RS supporting this viewpoint.

Redirect to Shm-reduplication ... only kidding; keep per Wikipedia:OUTCOMES#Clergy as a head rabbi of a large area. Bearian (talk) 19:18, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete He was a Rabbi and wrote a book which was published posthumously. The book being viewable online at Wikisource does not aid notability. Wikipedia:OUTCOMES#Clergy refers to the Rabbi of a country, and he seems to have been the rabbi of only a town. I do not see that WP:BIO is satisfied, and I would not want to see similar bios of every clergyman/swami/mullah/practitioner of every faith who ever lived kept on a similar scant basis, just because they faithfully served a congregation or town and wrote a diary, when there is a lack of multiple instances of significant coverage by reliable and independent sources. Where are encyclopedias or histories of religion which document his "significant contribution?" Edison (talk) 19:35, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep he is the author of two books published shortly after his death, and if his work is being readied for republication at this time, as the article suggests, that would indicate that his work is held in high regard by those best qualified to evaluate it. Bus stop (talk) 00:05, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:SCHOLAR and WP:PROF #6. His rabbinical posts certainly make him notable, as av beis din (head of the rabbinical court) of Sosnowiec and a rosh yeshiva (dean) in that town's yeshiva. Edison: Your lumping of all religious town authorities into one heap totally ignores the major role that town Ravs played in the thousands of Jewish communities that existed in pre-war Europe. These were not "rabbis" in the style of synagogue leaders that you may be familiar with, but Torah authorities and poskim who brought Torah study to a high level of scholarship. Any information that can be presented on rabbis like Shtentzel or his cousin, Rabbi Arye Tzvi Frommer, enhances understanding of the pre-Holocaust landscape significantly. I cut out all the extraneous details and biographical information about other people and copyedited for style. All it needs is more references to back up the information provided. Yoninah (talk) 11:19, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe Yisrael Meir Kagan (1838—1933) was merely a rabbi in a small town of Radun' though his influence was considerable beyond that town and his influence to this day is great. There are 2 books by Shlomo Shtentzel. One was published in 1932, 13 years after his death, and then republished in 1973. That indicates continued interest by those best able to evaluate the merit and importance of that book. The other book by Shlomo Shtentzel does not seem to have ever been published, but our article suggests that it is being readied for publication at this time.

Los Buzzardos

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

Non-notable band. Their only "notability" derives from being one of two backup bands for Jack White when he's touring separately from White Stripes. A redirect was attempted, but rejected by the page's creator. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 11:25, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is 1 of 3 different but related articles created by this author which have been nominated by the same Wiki user for deletion; comments from that Wiki user have been disrespectful and have made attempts to belittle the subject artists (including Dominic Davis, described that he merely “stands in the back with a bass”), together with an air of discrimination. The Wiki community should not support such efforts. And now here comments make it clear that they do not even know that the band the White Stripes broke up some time ago (and therefore Jack White will not be "touring" with them any time soon), something that was covered in great detail in the worldwide media and which can be learned by just reading through one part of Jack White’s wiki page. Users that do not even know that vital bit of information are in a very poor position to opine on the notability of this band. With the White Stripes now broken up, Jack White’s solo production becomes that much more notable as does Los Buzzardos' role in such. In the musical arts notability is not limited only to headliners; just because it is a backing band does not negate it from its own notability. The Wiki community clearly agrees as there are many, many backing bands with their own Wiki pages from Scarlet Fever to The Spiders from Mars. And while many of the members of this band already have their own notoriety and their own Wiki pages, a backing band does also get notability from the headliner and Jack White is one of the biggest international rock and blues artists as well as one of the most highly regarded guitarists of our time and is a multiple Grammy winner. This band is notable and this page should not be deleted. Jjjssswiki (talk) 17:32, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is no "discrimination" here (and Jjjssswiki might want to consider assuming good faith). This is merely a case of an editor (me) seeing a poor article and nominating it for deletion, and then, seeing that the article's creator has behaved in a manner indicating a lack of understanding of Wikipedia's notability guidelines, reviewing that editors other contributions and finding some of them lacking notability also. I do not know Dominic Davis, and I am not a particular follower of the genre of music that Davis plays, so I have no particular axe to grind in either direction about Davis or his projects. I am only working within the guidelines established by Wikipedia, and finding that the articles involved do not meet those guidelines. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 18:03, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reason ARIHANT SUB (talk) 05:14, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article kashibai is a ghost article written upon a "Rumored Daughter of so called Commander in Chief Sadashiv Bhau". Well known fact is that Sadashiv Bhau and his wife Parvatibai were issue less. Further not a single source anywhere on the net or in any librabry throws light on this so called daughter of Sadashiv Bhau. Citation tags are untouched for years and months the whole article is without a single source for almost 4 years. Such malicious articles only brought bad name to wikipedia and its reliability.

Non-notable, unreferenced, and unlikely to become so.

Delete. Non-notable.— James Cantor (talk) 16:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Searching for sources, it seems this term does actually exist, and has some information available about it. The problem is, the definition that I'm finding is substantially different than what is presented in this article. The article presents this fetish as sexualizing combative sports and sports equipment, where as the actual use of this term seems to be about being sexually aroused by having your partnet pretend to struggle, or "pseudo-rape". With this in mind, I'm not sure if it would be easier to keep this article and then just completely rewrite it, or to go ahead and delete it and recreate it from scratch with proper information. Rorshacma (talk) 17:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A redirect to Biastophilia could also serve the purpose.

Delete I agree that there's a lack of notability for the phrase with this meaning. However, there's not many reliable cites for it meaning fetish for performing rape, so I'm not sure a redirect will work either without an obvious target. RightDiagnosis.com claims it can mean either fetish for fighting/wrestling generally or rape, but I'm not sure how reliable that is. An incorrect redirect isn't much use, and in any case it's closer to a dictionary definition than an encyclopedia article, so I say we delete until there's more sources with greater detail. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:53, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - a paragraph was added that was sourced to enotes.com. When you look at the reference, it is specifically a mirror of the WP article Zoophilia and the law, and therefore not a reliable source and not of use. LadyofShalott 17:30, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but expand. The primary meaning is a preference for humans, specifically among parasites. The sexual meaning is important but secondary. Anthropophilia is a well-known phenomenon with thousands of references. There has been a lot of research and analysis on why some parasites prefer humans over other animals.

Comment. That actually is/was a great idea. That prevents it from being confused with a paraphilia. I would, however, move it to just "anthropophilia", as the "in animals" is now redundant.— James Cantor (talk) 05:49, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Totally disagree with the nominator. The article can stand on its own since it charted and has enough information. And as per my Wikipedia knowledge all the sources are GA reliable. So, this article can totally stay. — Tomica (talk) 10:42, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. Tomica said "see, for example" as an example of other types of articles that are similar. Popularity has nothing to do with it.

You didn't answer me though. And I already explained the other part to you. Statυs (talk) 11:25, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, we obviously disagree that "Stephen" 'clearly has notability'. In answer to your question, to state the obvious, if the article was deleted the content would be deleted too.

Thank goodness someone is talking sense at last.

Citing a policy with no evidence is pretty senseless. AIRcorn (talk) 13:15, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They don't agree with me. I have consistently argued for deleting this article. I've never come across so many people arguing for 'speedy' keep when the sources are not strong. Much of this article is sourced to the sleeve notes of the album, or the downloaded notes of the sheet music. Much of the 'Critical reception' section was misusing review comments about the album. The 'Music video' section is sourced from the album liner notes and a Youtube video. Two of the 'Speedy/strong keep's are based on the track charting and the fact it has a video - since when was that a criteria of WP:GNG? Sionk (talk) 12:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pop songs tend to attract pile on keeps. The first !vote argues for a speedy keep and close due to GNG with non-GNG rational, the second is irrelevant, the third one at least gives an argument but in a condescending way, while the fourth just asserts notabilty without saying how. I honestly thought I would be saying delete when I first read this. It is not hard to provide an analysis of the sources and the speedy keeps will get a much better response if they do.

Dirty Love (Ke$ha song)

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

This is a as yet unwritten and unreleased song for an un-named album (with no release date) by Kesha. There are various mentions online about her collaboration, based only on a tweet and photo by Ke$ha. There is one short quote from Ke$ha about a track called "Dirty Love", which makes no connection with Iggy. All in all this article shouldn't be here - it seems to be a fan page based on a tweet.

Comment - Not sure whether to keep or delete, but some corrections to the nomination: The Billboard source in the article does in fact confirm Iggy Pop working with her on the song, and mentions it in the past tense, making me think the label "unwritten" probably isn't correct either. Not saying it warrants a "Keep" or anything, just throwing that out there. Sergecross73 msg me 15:05, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

keep or merge. Yes notability not inherited, but the story is a significant and clearly notable part to the bio of Dominique Moceanu. A separate article may be questioned, but the content cleary belongs to wikipedia. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:18, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to definite "keep", after some diligence of research. Staszek Lem (talk) 19:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I still fail to see anything that would suggest she has stand-alone notability. My interest was piqued at the reference to her placing fourth in the Junior Olympics. After doing a little more digging I found that she competed not in the national-level AAU Junior Olympics, but rather the regional Illinois Junior Olympics. Whereas WP:ATHLETE states that at the international-level Youth Olympic Games an athlete must medal to be deemed notable. The subject falls very short of this benchmark. You agreed that notability is not inherited, yet this would be CSD territory if not for the subject having a notable sister. And for the record and the sake of satisfying my own curiosity, I looked up fifteen random medalists in the AAU Junior Olympics (which I stress again, was above the competition the subject competed in), and none of those fifteen have Wikipedia articles. Trusilver 02:33, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Notability guidelines are ..er.. guidelines, to save time for typical arguments. This is an exceptional story here, about a person as a whole, not just a random athlete. So, what we have here so far:
      1. Multiple independent coverage from major media
      2. Verifiable information, including a chapter in a book
      3. A person without legs competes against regular ones and places high on national level
        P.S. This ref says it was actually 1988 AAU JO, not IL JO. I will dig further. (confirmed from 1998 source)
      4. U.S. Tumbling Association’s Inspiration Award
      5. Adoption mystery drama
      6. Notable sister
      Of course, each of these arguments, if taken alone, is easily defeatable, but taken nogether, it is my opinion they render the article deserving. Staszek Lem (talk) 15:59, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - I've been hunting for some kind of authoritative source on the level she competed at, and keep getting conflicting stories. I think that in her case we are looking at a journalistic version of the telephone game where each source is using the one before it as the basis for their story and over time certain facts have been misrepresented. I'm still hunting. If I can find some evidence that she actually did compete at a national level, I will withdrawal the AfD. In the case of conflicting stories, my opinion is the highest circulation source wins. (i.e. NY Times always trumps the BFE Local Tribune and Fishing Report) Trusilver 16:24, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        I know what you are talking about. I believe I've found and added a credible source, dated 1998, i.e., the very year of the event. It is understandable that 2012 got chinese whispers. Power to wikipedia!Staszek Lem (talk) 17:03, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have no idea what this procedure is about nor do I wish to know, but regardless, it is obvious due to the name and nature of the procedure that is ripe for abuse by immature people, therefore it should be kept under close watch so that graphically explicit images (which are not necessary) are not placed within the article. If somehow there is consensus to include such pictures (again, bad idea) there should be some kind of warning. I happened upon the article by chance when editing the AfD log (I thought the article was a joke at first), but if there had been pictures illustrating this procedure, it would have been a shocking and traumatizing experience. Wikipedia is here to educate and inform, not shock and traumatize, and we can achieve that goal without subjecting ourselves to such pictures. Laval (talk) 07:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think we've got two options here. We can keep the article and have a single, curated point for information on the album to get added, vetted, formatted, and brought into Wikipedia guideline compliance. Alternatively, we can follow WP:V, WP:NALBUM, WP:HAMMER and the like and redirect this title to Lady Gaga...and then protect this page...and then clean up 300 iterations of ARTPOP (OMG guyz this is reely teh title!) as we find them. I think the former is more in keeping with big-picture principles of Wikipedia, even if we have to ignore a rule or two along the way—and maybe it will show all the Little Monsters who come to edit the article that all Wikipedia veterans and admins aren't big scary monsters. —C.Fred (talk) 00:29, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Convoluted: I tried to close this, but then decided my editing of one of the related articles would have crossed the WP:INVOLVED line. My action in the undone close was history merge, redirect, protect. A little tough to untangle consensus here. All the policy and guideline based arguments aim for delete or merge. The ability to actually merge the material seems iffy, as the article doesn't contain a lot of well-sourced factual data that is eligible to merge. As C.Fred points out, there's a parallel article at Artpop (Lady Gaga album). So, I would install a redirect (as a portion of the merge). I'd protect the result for a few months (as a nod to the delete camp, who clearly believe that the content should not be easily resurrected). I'd history merge Artpop (Lady Gaga album) into it.

The PROD was declined by page creator with the argument that the length of time the publication has existed, as well as some notable contributors, were both an indication of notability. However, I disagree as neither facts alone is enough to pass the GNG without reliable sources, so I brought it here for consensus. Rorshacma (talk) 18:12, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The James Tiptree Literary Award Council recognized a story published by the literary magazine in question as an honorable mention in its 2010 award year. They have been mentioned on wired.com. Multiple articles from the Science In My Fiction blog edited by Crossed Genres have gone on to be featured as articles at io9.com. Artwork from the Crossed Genres Magazine has been shortlisted for the British Science Fiction Association Award. Two stories from the magazine were selected as "Million Writers Award Notable Storys" by storySouth. Bcseda (talk) 18:48, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Regrettably, I don't see sufficient evidence of notability. Having a story nominated for a prize doesn't really add notability in the Wikipedia sense, because even if it's a major award, that only goes to the notability of the story and author. We need information about the magazine, its founding, history, editorship, ownership, staff, significant incidents/controversies, what famous writers have said about it, etc, to write an article on it. Published reviews of individual issues would also be very useful. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:06, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Filmbank

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

Hard to guess from the essay presented as an article, but the Filmbank is a sub-section of the Dutch organization EYE, http://www.eyefilm.nl/, a filmmuseum in Amsterdam. From what I can gather, the Filmbank is a kind of repository of films viewable on the internet; there's an online shop as well. Searching for "Filmbank" is hard since there's a number of organizations with that name but I can find no evidence that this particular one received any coverage. In addition to the essay-like quality of the article (an essay on experimental film), it seems to serve as a repository for links related to experimental film and movie houses in Dutchland.

Rename and keep This is an odd one, as it is effectively an article on the entire history of Experimental film in the Netherlands but has been given the over-specific title relating to one initiative. I would agree with Drmies that there is no evidence that Filmbank itself merits an article here, however if we look on the actual article content, it is an asset of value for Wikipedia. So I would propose the article be kept but renamed to a title such as "Experimental film in the Netherlands". Were it not at AfD, I'd be bold and make that change, but I'm aware that retitling during process causes problems for the closing admin tools, so I've instead noted that suggestion on the article and talk page.

Person definitely appears non-notable (BLP PROD was removed after references to IMDb, an unreliable source, were added. Per policy I can place the BLP PROD tag it back, but this will get rid of the article quicker anyways). Searching on Google Books and News for "Wafi Sattar" turned up nothing, and although a Google News archives search turned up articles, they did not appear to establish notability. Repeating the same searches in Bengali using the name given in the article (search term "ওয়াফি আযিয সাওার") yielded absolutely nothing. With no reliable sources to establish notability, Mr. Sattar clearly fails the general notability guideline and the notability guideline for people. CtP (t • c) 01:18, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

High throughput satellite

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

I do not believe the concept has sufficient long-term notability to justify an article - it is just an industry buzzword which will probably be forgotten as satellite capacities continue to rise.

The article could be merged - and indeed I have already proposed this, but having re-read the article it seems to have OR problems, and be somewhat lacking in third-party content and references, so there isn't much that could actually be merged, and the author's WP:OWN issues would complicate the merger process, so deletion may be a better option.

I - in line with countless sources on the Internet(e.g. this) - believe HTS - which by the way are not a concept but reality with about a dozen satellites in orbit - will have sufficient long-term notability. It is not a buzzword and despite WDGraham still hasn't understood it, HTS is not about capacity only, but about the range of applications which in contrast to traditional satellites are focussed on point-to-point services (broadband access for consumers) rather than broadcasting. WDGraham's proposal to merge this article with Fixed Service Satellite is as if someone proposed to merge the article about TV with that about cinemas. Also I consider it appropriate to categorize all HTS and therefore have already created a corresponing category which should also have a main article, which is another reason why this separate article about HTS is justified. --Cvdr (talk) 13:40, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also WDGraham's argument of my alleged ownership of the article and the resulting need to delete it is far from reaasonable. If all articles that have been started by a single author would be deleted just because nobody else has contributed to it for two three days, Wikipedia wouldn't be able to develop. AlsoWDGraham did not make any good attempt to communicate with me, obviously hasn't read the article or at least hasn't understood it and out of his limited understanding litter it up with senseless "citation required" tags. --Cvdr (talk) 14:57, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying it should be deleted because you are the only author. I considered it to be a borderline case between merger and deletion, and my initial inclination was to cleanup and merge. Your abject refusal to cite disputed statements (and claiming that I was "vandalising" the article by requesting citations) led me to decide that it was not worth my effort since you were being protective of your work, which is why I suggested that deletion would be better than a merger. I did attempt discussion, you ignored it. This is not a case of misunderstanding, or not reading the article: no matter how well an article is written, all statements must be sourced. If you do find sources, then it might be possible to merge this into FSS or another appropriate article, or keep it if notability can be demonstrated. I still don't think this is notable enough to warrant an article, and we can always recreate it in a few years if I am wrong. --W. D. Graham 16:08, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article contains far more citations than most other articles. I've explained to you that High Throughput Satellites are definied by a couple of criteria which are all listed in the article, so anybody can simply check that the listed satellites match these criteria by a click on the link to the corresponding article. In such evident cases it is not necessary to provide citations. Also you required citations for satellites like the ViaSat-1 being a HTS although the text above mentions it as such including a citation. If you start correcting articles you are obliged to do this throughly which you obviously didn't as you haven't read or understood at least parts of the short. Instead you have put in question every single word. This represents a form of vandalism. --Cvdr (talk) 18:18, 22 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTVAND. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 16:56, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also there are two good reasons why not to merge this article with Fixed Service Satellite:

HTS mostly operate on the Ka band while according to the FSS article "FSSs operate in either the C band (from 3.7 to 4.2 GHz) or the FSS Ku bands (from 11.45 to 11.7 and 12.5 to 12.75 GHz in Europe, and 11.7 to 12.2 GHz in the United States)."
Further according to the paragraph FSS and the rest of the world the term FSS refers to satellites with a lower transmission power than so-called DBS-class satellites. Could you provide a citation which confirms that HTS' power output level corresponds to that of FSS?

There are plenty of news and book references to Greenlee in his capacity as mayor and councilman of Boulder, his ownership of a radio station, his failed bid for Congress, and even somethings in association with JonBenet Ramsey; however, it appears that all of this brings him up to the line of notability but not over it.

The DRV discussion overturned a speedy deletion as being not valid and consensus was that an AFD was the appropriate action that should have occurred, the creation of this nomination was by the admin who closed that discussion thus the admins declaration that its a procedural nomination is correct and that by nomination "he" isnt expressing any opinion on the matter.

With all due respect for the editors above, there clearly is a rationale for deletion, which is that it's of strictly limited notability and the sources leave much to be desired. I don't see how this is a fit subject for an encyclopaedia article and although I agree with Jey123456 that it's not blatant advertising, I do think that the strong motivation to keep this piece is motivated by marketing concerns.—S Marshall T/C 11:22, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like this comment is straddling the fence with trial balloons. If you think that there is an argument for deletion as you hint, I suggest that you procedurally close this AfD and start an AfD that prepares the community with WP:BEFORE analysis. Unscintillating (talk) 22:59, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No. Your position is that there's something the matter with IronGargoyle's nomination. I don't accept that at all. It's well established that deletion review closers can and do nominate material for deletion in this way, and any attempt to do the background reading to which IronGargoyle clearly links in his nomination will show you how WP:BEFORE and WP:ATD have been satisfied.—S Marshall T/C 15:57, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"No"? "Well established"? Where is the evidence? Here is where the procedural closure was added, there was no community discussion, nor IMO has the history of the procedural nomination since then shown it to be a good idea. It is always the same story–if there is no one willing to do the work to prepare a nomination, there is no need for a discussion. Unscintillating (talk) 01:13, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Someone doing the work to prepare a nomination.—S Marshall T/C 01:42, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit comment says "pfff". The nomination you point to is WP:Articles for deletion/Star Sonata (3rd nomination). It took place five weeks after six editors unanimously !voted to keep this article. As such it should have been promptly closed. The nomination states, "the article has not been improved (citation wise) since the last AFD", which is an argument from WP:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions:
Delete I gave them ~~six months~~ five weeks for someone to add cites, they didn't, and I have lost my patience. – ~~My Way or the Highway~~ Gone Fishing, 01:33, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
So the second problem with this nomination is that it makes no pretense to being anything other than an argument not to make. As such, third, it neither follows WP:BEFORE nor discusses WP:ATD alternatives to deletion. At the DRV, you state that you want the discussion here to be "a proper discussion", is this nomination the foundation for "a proper discussion" here?. Unscintillating (talk) 03:42, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've never had much patience with WP:ATA. It's just a laundry list of things some editors think other editors shouldn't be allowed to say in AfD discussions, and its logic is often shaky or nonexistent. Whenever I use a WP:ATA argument, you may safely assume that (1) I'm well aware of WP:ATA and (2) I'm disregarding that essay with all due forethought.
Unscintillating, do you have any objections to deletion that aren't to do with what you see as flawed processes or procedures? Do you have any fresh sources to bring to the debate, for example?—S Marshall T/C 07:08, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[Arguments from authority], this time in the guise of two questions, do not make the case that procedural nominations are "well established", nor IMO are they a substitute for a considered deletion rationale. Unscintillating (talk) 00:18, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

While i would agree with you if the category were not " 2004 video games | Massively multiplayer online role-playing games | Windows games |MMORPGs in space" but they are.

I'm afraid that isn't quite how it is; we discuss things on a case-by-case basis, one at a time, and we simply haven't got to the Battlestar Galactica Online page yet.

Comment I've made the following improvements to the article's structure and content based on the do's and don'ts given in Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Article_guidelines: created Development and Reception sections, removed news & review site links from External links, made player base statistics more accurate and neutral point of view, reworked opening paragraph, updated system requirements, and added references.

Delete after reviewing all the sources I'm not convinvced this meets WP:GNG the sourcing is very weak Gamespy is just a list, onRPG,com doesnt appear to standup as reliable source with editorial oversight the piece linked appears to be a blog with no editorial oversight though it is a comprehensive review, Gametunnel appears to be similar though the review is less comprehensive, gamezone posting is a blog by an annonomouse user. Additional sources are from Star Sonata which are self references, or from Reddit which isnt a reliable source. Gnan garra 05:11, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Gamezone review was actually written by Matt Eberle. I checked the review link (that I updated a few days ago when I found a non-archived version) and discovered that it omits the reviewer name, giving the impression that it is from the anonymous jkdmedia. I just reverted it to the archived review link, which correctly states that the reviewer is Matt Eberle. Matt Eberle wrote articles for GameZone, co-authored an article with Michael Lafferty, a head reviewer at GameZone, who described Matt as a “Fellow MMOer and GZ [GameZone] writer” here. Sorry about the confusion my bad edit caused. Thanar (talk) 07:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have been a substantial contributor to this article. I think the general notability guideline, whether "a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (WP:GNG), has been satisfied by the following 5 references to 3 independent reliable sources:

1. The GameZone pre-release article, review and developer interview provide significant independent coverage of Star Sonata. GameZone has been established as reliable in the field of video gaming per past consensus.

2. The Gamespy List - Gamespy is established as reliable in the field of video gaming per past consensus. I consider Gamespy’s listing to be significant coverage of Star Sonata 2 because the fact of being selected for such a yearly list (rather than, say, a weekly one) is significant in itself, making it "more than a trivial mention" (WP:GNG).

3. The Gametunnel review offers significant independent coverage of Star Sonata. At the time of the Star Sonata review (2005), GameTunnel had Russell Carroll as editor-in-chief (2002-2009). In one of two past discussions of GameTunnel’s reliability, Levi van Tine (t – c) noted that Russell appeared to be “an employee of a game development company, Reflexive Entertainment. Gamasutra and GameSetWatch consider him an authority on indie games, as this interview or this interview would suggest.” Also MLauba suggested GameTunnel as a reliable source because it "runs an annual independent game of the year award which has some recognition in the indie games milieu." Although some GameTunnel writers may have lacked game industry experience/education, the author of the Star Sonata review, Joseph Lieberman, worked in video game marketing. For these reasons of editorial oversight and author expertise (WP:NEWSORG), I consider the GameTunnel review of Star Sonata to be a reliable source.

The shortness of the above list suggests that Star Sonata is only minimally notable. But there is sufficient in-depth information available in these sources to write a Star Sonata article. Finally, I think certain elements of gameplay highlighted by reviewers (programmable slave AI ships and the ability to be crowned Emperor and win the MMO) supports the game's notability. Thanar (talk) 07:44, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Sources#List the sources listed dont have any community discussion attached to show that the community consensus has established them as reliable specifically the pages states This list is neither complete nor can it be used as definitive proof regarding a listed source's reliability determination. Additionally when you read WP:LOCALCONSENSUS participants in a WikiProject cannot decide that some generally accepted policy or guideline does not apply I reviewed each of the sources and found them questionable or outright unreliable in establishing notability. That is the same issue raised in previous AFD's the sources provided are those that have always been used to base notability, the only new source is a blog. Gnan garra 11:27, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The unanimous decision at AfD 2 and IMO the consensus view from AfD 3 made the community consensus clear that this article didn't have quite enough sourcing in 2008, and that the article should be kept in mainspace for at least six months while a search proceeded. Whether or not a source from 2012 satisfied the intent of 2008, the need for more sourcing is now answered. The G4TV source marked "blog" is from an author identified there as "G4TV Staff", so the article brings with it the reputation and legal responsibility of the organization. As per our article, G4TV is a part of NBCUniversal. Unscintillating (talk) 09:40, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: This passes WP:GNG but barely. The Gamasutra article in the references (found here) is actually a press release that Gamasutra picked up and put on their website. However, I agree with Thanar's reasoning above for the reliability of the references he cited. I also am not convinced by Gnangarra's reasoning, which was that "I reviewed each of the sources and found them questionable or outright unreliable in establishing notability", as he does not specifically cite why Thanar's reasoning is incorrect. I feel that Gnangarra must not have completely read into the reasoning behind the notability for these websites. The GameZone notability is clearly established here, and I'm swayed by Thanar's arguments about GameTunnel, the one website which I would have to put firmly on the fence. All this said though, this is a minimum, and unreliable references should be cut from the article. Either way though, I !vote for a weak keep. Nomader (talk) 14:35, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep DIM is a very significant figure in British ornithology.

The result was Merge and redirect. WP:N clashes with WP:NOT here (and if not the letter of WP:NOT, then the spirit of it), and while WP:NOT trumps WP:N in general, there is nothing in WP:NOT that makes this topic unsuitable for at least a paragraph in the main Ashton Kutchner article. I will redirect the article but keep the history, so that people can merge whatever is important enough to be noted in the main article. Fram (talk) 07:43, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (again) per WP:NOT#DIARY. Or perhaps more accurately, WP:NOTTRIVIA. This article provides excessive, tedious detail on what is ultimately an incredibly minor aspect of Ashton Kutcher's public presence. The article itself is nothing but a collection of irrelevant trivia, random statements with little to no context or explanation of what makes the statements notable, important or of historical value. Thus, much of the article fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Ultimately, this entire article could be condensed into a single paragraph in Kutcher's main article with absolutely nothing of value lost. And now, let the drama continue...Resolute 01:39, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- To my knowledge the process of condensing article into a single paragraph in another article is known as selective merge, isn't it? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:25, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If it takes this much effort to get such an obviously dumb and inappropriate article deleted, the article should be kept as a badge of shame. Formerip (talk) 01:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Selective merge to Ashton Kutcher. "Merge" because Ashton Kutcher on Twitter is the same Ashton Kutcher as elsewhere; the discussed article lacks subject and thus can't be included per WP:CFORK and WP:NOT. "Selective" per WP:NOTDIARY. Also note, per Notability policy, the "topic is presumed to merit an article if it meets the general notability guideline below, and is not excluded under What Wikipedia is not." — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:20, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Selecting by what means, out of curiosity?~~ Huh, somehow I totally failed to parse your comment correctly, my bad. I guess I should ask, what sorts of statements would you say fall afoul of NOTDIARY, and what wouldn't? Darryl from Mars (talk) 02:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I believe that this discussion would be more appropriate when and if this AfD is closed with "merge" result. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NOTPAPER suggests that the only policy based rationales are 'keep' or 'merge.' As consensus has previously shown, it meets GNG, it is thus entitled to the keep presumption. The sources, including two textbooks ([31], [32]) also lead to keep, as this article is about a mass media (publisher/publishing of written content) it is similar to our articles on individual blogs (it is, after all, called microblogging); twitter feeds (see eg.Shit My Dad Says); and other forms of publishing. It is thus a discrete topic, not indiscriminate, and it is not unnotable diary, or mere trivia. Alanscottwalker (talk) 02:32, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS? (And WP:NEWSBLOG for that matter. Or would you call A. Kutcher a news media?) — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:59, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - By citing other crap exists, are you implying those other articles are, in fact, crap we shouldn't have? Darryl from Mars (talk) 03:04, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - No, I just cite the essay using shortcut which is more consistent with Alanscottwalker's tone regarding these articles. I didn't examine the articles he linked. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 03:12, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No. I note we have articles on various forms of publishing. A Twitter feed, like a blog, is a form of publishing. Some have their own articles because they are well sourced and the wider world is interested in what they have accomplished. Alanscottwalker (talk) 03:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your statement implies that the bar is lower then other editors are trying to demonstrate. This is in line with "other crap exists", while "other stuff exists" is about enumerating items from closest common group. I would link WP:OTHERSTUFF if you mentioned Barack Obama on Twitter or ... well, whom do we have there already? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 03:21, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - No. Just the same bar. Alanscottwalker (talk) 03:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - That is my point. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 03:31, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- BTW, do you think that Ashton Kutcher on Twitter is not the same Ashton Kutcher as that in movies? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 03:33, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Not sure I understand the question but art is different from the artist, and writing is different from the writer. Alanscottwalker (talk) 03:37, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - So you state that Ashton Kutcher is an artist IRL, but on Twitter he is a piece of art instead? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 09:46, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - No, Ashton Kutcher may or may not be the writer (see Washington Post Business[33]) (he may or may not be the owner, see the forward he wrote for this book [34]) but the twitter feed is written mass communication (see eg., [35],[36], [37],[38] and the other RS). Alanscottwalker (talk) 13:11, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        So you state that this feed is unrelated to Ashton Kutcher? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:03, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        We have articles about writers -- we have articles about their writings; we have articles about publishers -- we have articles about things they have published; we have articles about persons -- we have articles about works about their life; we have articles about artists -- we have articles about their art; we have articles about personalities -- we have articles about broadcasts in different medium, built around that person. All are related. So, when and why do we do so? When RS lend themselves to the study of the life of the person; and when RS lend themselves to study of a thing. The focus is different; we lose focus, and detail, and sources of knowledge otherwise. Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:07, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Let's assume that calling one's twitter feed a mass media in such context is appropriate. You previously noted that this "mass media" is similar to blogs in its nature. Do you think that it is appropriate to have articles both on a blog on behalf of single user (as opposed to collective blogs, minority of which are found appropriate encyclopedic topics) and on the blogger himself? Could you please cite such case? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:54, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        I assume by "appropriate" you mean within policy. The answer is yes for reasons stated by me and others. According to content fork, "related articles" are not content forks, but even if it were, such a discussion would be better suited to a well thought out merge proposal --- and in light of the current countervailing broadening proposal. This is how our consensus and our editing policy work best for article development. As to your second question, I don't know, we have hundreds of blog articles (probably because it is an older format) and many times that biographical articles. But, for example, it would seem someone could benefit from a biographical article on the first blogger, and an article on the first blog, if the reliable sources for those articles exist (it is also more likely the articles might exist, if the wiki was around then, but it was not; however, the sources may not be as varied, expansive, and deep as the biographical material, and the publication material is, here). Alanscottwalker (talk) 19:04, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Well, it is a weird position, given that the article in question consists of timeline trivia almost exclusively. The properly condensed version would fit the main article ideally and no need in splitting out anything is actually obvious, evident or otherwise explainable. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:33, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Regarding 'timeline trivia', whether that means something or not, is it the fact that most of the paragraphs start with dates that leads you to that conclusion? Also, while you did say you believe the discussion of 'properly condensing' should be left till afterwards, your arguments seemed to be based entirely on the point that such a thing is self-evidently possible, whereas I really can't see where the 85-90% of the article you propose getting rid of is at the moment. Darryl from Mars (talk) 02:58, 9 August 2012 (UTC) Don't let me get in the way of whatever you and Alan have going, of course...[reply]
        Nope, try harder. The appropriate coverage of topic would be a version of the lead, stripped of the details that are supposed to be covered elsewhere in the article, but not in the Twitter section. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:58, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Not so weird, given the sourcing, just a different perspective. With respect to article development, I thought this comment has some useful thoughts to ponder: [[39]] Alanscottwalker (talk) 18:05, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep or strong merge - Previously, I've voted "delete" because of the nature of this topic. However, if only evidence proves that Kutcher uses other social media, like YouTube... Anyway, all AFDs are not cleanups. Instead, if this article must be kept, then I must propose broadening a scope of this article into Ashton Kutcher on social media. --George Ho (talk) 05:13, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per my comment in the previous AfD. Nothing's changed, WP:INDISCRIMINATE still stresses that "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia". GNG is irrelevant when the article has no encyclopedic value. Till 06:18, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nothing changed indeed; You do realize that statement still doesn't mean anything to someone else without somehow demonstrating that it isn't suitable? Darryl from Mars (talk) 06:35, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Already said it; WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Okthanksbye. Till 06:43, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We do not have clear, agreed sitewide guidance on whether "Foo on twitter/Foo in social media" is an appropriate style for an article. My personal opinion is that it is not, and that we should merge such things back to the main article—but I refuse to pretend that anything in WP:NOT or our other existing policies would actually preclude this article. WP:NOT doesn't stretch that far. Therefore, my position is keep until we've achieved a proper guideline through the normal consensus-building process, at which point it should be relisted.—S Marshall T/C 11:14, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- But there seems to be strong consensus on inappropriateness of such topics. Should we just discard it? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:14, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's not a guideline. There should be a proper RfC which is properly closed by someone independent and reaches a proper conclusion.—S Marshall T/C 20:44, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - (Later) Although it doesn't amount to a guideline, the discussion has at least now been closed. The close is not prescriptive in this particular case, saying as it does that "Foo on twitter" is generally not appropriate for an article but "there may be very rare exceptions when a person is extremely notable and/or their use of social media is extremely notable thus making it impractical to cover his/her use of social media within their main biography in adequate detail."
      The question for us to decide is therefore, could we cover Ashton Kutcher's use of twitter in his main biography without it being impractical? Clearly we could; so the correct outcome would be merge back to Ashton Kutcher. Unfortunately I can't pretend there's a consensus in this discussion to do that.—S Marshall T/C 07:27, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The sources such as Share This: The Social Media Handbook for PR Professionals or Television Personalities: Stardom and the Small Screen] demonstrate the notability of the topic. Those arguing against this seem mainly to present variations of WP:IDONTLIKEIT which are contrary to multiple policies. The slippery slope argument is weak because Ashton Kutcher is unusually outstanding in this field, being the "King of Twitter". Warden (talk) 12:39, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Your two big cites do not focus on "Aston Kutcher on Twitter", but rather, offer a trivial mention of him in the context of a larger topic (importance/value of a Twitter presence) that would be appropriate for discussion on the main Twitter article. For Kutcher himself, neither represents a non-trivial mention. Also, your accusation of WP:CENSOR is, frankly, ignorant as most have not said that his Twitter presence should not be noted. Rather, it has been said that a standalone article has not been justified. And really, when you get right down to it, the keep arguments are nothing more than WP:ILIKEIT, which places you equally afoul of WP:NPOV as you accuse your opponents of being. Resolute 16:03, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Kutcher is not given as an arbitrary example in these sources but appears because of the prominence of his Twitter account. The coverage appears in a wider context because these sources are books with many hundreds of pages. But we are not writing a book here and do not require exclusive coverage. Per WP:SIGCOV "Significant coverage ... need not be the main topic of the source material." WP:CENSOR seems very appropriate here because numerous nay-sayers have indicated that they find such a topic to be distasteful. You (Resolute) use lots of loaded language in your !vote, summarise your opinion as "Delete" and so are trying to expunge this material completely, edit history and all. That's censorship. Warden (talk) 16:23, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Okay, enough censorship accusations. As it is totally clear, media may think of this topic as "significant". However, meeting WP:N and/or WP:NOT is all that matters. I wonder if relisting per DRV is the right thing to do; nevertheless, I've already changed my mind. Still, this article is a bloated rehash of info about Twitter in "Kutcher" article. --George Ho (talk) 16:32, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - WP:CENSOR seems a very relevant policy, saying "Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable...". And that's the issue here. It's not that the material is false or derogatory or incomprehensible. The nay-sayers just don't want to be reading about this in Wikipedia - they object to the very nature of the material. When so many external professional authors have taken the trouble to report upon this matter, Wikipedia editors do not get to assert their own personal preferences instead. The topic is notable by virtue of its extensive coverage in numerous sources. If some editors don't like this, they should just avert their eyes and move on. Warden (talk) 16:58, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        It is not a content that some users consider objectionable. Objection goes against content forking. Why can't the whole twitter story be told at article about Ashton Kutcher? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:08, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. per Colonel Warden's comment. The references prove that the topic is notable. TBran dl ey 17:16, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep mostly per S Marshall (I don't care for the topic, but it seems to meet our guidelines/polices as they stand). I'd prefer we move the article to Ashton Kutcher on social media if it is kept however. Further, I'm having a hard time distinguishing "WP:IDONTLIKEIT" from "I don't think this is encyclopedic". I don't see a case being made that this isn't encyclopedic other than "it doesn't seem encyclopedic to me" (which is fairly weak) and "not other encyclopedia covers topics like this" which is a lot more reasonable but given the nature of Wikipedia (fast to cover topics) and Twitter (fairly new) it's not a hugely convincing argument that others won't. Hobit (talk) 17:35, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Broadening this scope must be proposed there, NOT here. --George Ho (talk) 17:51, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep/Strong Merge I'm still not so sure that this topic is deserving enough for its own article, but I won't contest that it is certainly notable. If the consensus is to keep as it, I'd support it, but overall my preference is to selectively merge into the main Ashton Kutcher article. The article could then be spun out again if it we encounter a WP:TOOLONG situation. Cheers, Zaldax (talk) 19:46, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The twitter account in itself gets coverage for being a notable part of the internet, and its accomplishments, being the first Twitter account to have a million followers, and once being the most popular twitter account(for a 13 months anyway), and now has 11 million followers. Dream Focus 21:59, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Whose is this account? Whom do reliable sources attribute it to? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:14, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with fire. Trivia masquerading as an encyclopedic topic. That Colonel Warden has to resort to censorship accusations to prejudice the outcome reveals the essential intellectual bankruptcy aat the heart of this campaign. --Calton | Talk 22:26, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Because deleting it with fire is a sign of not being prejudiced, right? Darryl from Mars (talk) 22:54, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I said before that I believed this was the strongest of the celebrity on Twitter articles. These sources helped contribute to my position on the issue: [40] [41] [42]. All of these sources directly relate to Ashton Kutcher's activity on Twitter and demonstrate the significant impact that activity has had on, not only Twitter, but on broader society. My personal belief is that this article suffers from a lack of emphasis on these more important aspects of his Twitter activity. Here are some sources that just recently popped up that make the significance even clearer: [43] [44]. It appears the case for keeping this article has just grown stronger in time.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 00:24, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Still delete: As I said the first time, this article isn't independently notable of Ashton Kutcher himself p b p 04:00, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Why should we hold this article to a higher standard than every other article. One would be hard pressed to find sources on Willie Mays that don't place him in the context of Baseball, on Checkers that talk about him independent of Tricky Dick, the Al Gore presidential campaign, 2000 independent of Al Gore, or ale independent of beer. Notability isn't inherented, but being associated with other notable topics doesn't mean an article should be deleted, either. Two notable topics can be associated, and even overlap (one of the reasons we have categories.) WilyD 17:14, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - One of the problems here is if this particular topic has independent notability on its own. You mention Willie Mays, but The Catch clearly has independent notability on its own, even though there have been several other remarkable ball catches by Willy Mays. I could say the same thing about Billy Beer, which does have independent notability even though semi-famous people have endorsed or lent their name to other regional beers that don't merit notability or separate articles on Wikipedia. Why is this particular article necessary and why does Ashton Kutcher merit special mention in regards to his use on Twitter, as opposed to Lady Gaga (whose similar article is now deleted)? I certainly don't see any special reason why Ashton Kutcher's Twitter usage is particularly noteworthy above and beyond any other aspect of his life. This is at best an article fork for a very minor and otherwise non-noteworthy aspect of this particular person's life. What I see here is something that legitimately could be a major section of Ashton Kutcher's article (those are reliable sources). Oddly enough, why isn't there at least a hatnote to this article in the full Ashton Kutcher article? I certainly don't see problems for a full merger of this content with the main article that would violate WP:SIZE even in spirit. --Robert Horning (talk) 04:02, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - that it meets the usual inclusion guideline isn't really disputed (because it goes so far above the beyond the requirements, given the sources cited in the article. The primary argument for deletion is that the list is indiscriminate. WP:INDISCRIMINATE lists three examples: plot summaries, song lyrics, and statistics dumps, which this is obviously none of. On the more general question of "Is this indiscriminate?" - the answer is "Reliable sources say no". They cover Kutcher's use of twitter specifically, not merely things Kutcher did that happened to use twitter. (Though his foot in mouth re:Paterno is of the latter persuation). Since it meets the usual inclusion guideline, and isn't indiscriminate or trivia, it's a pretty clear keep. Merger and/or splitting could be done as makes sense per WP:UNDUE and WP:SPLIT. Kutcher + Kutcher on Twitter is about 50K, which SPLIT says is about where you should think about division, so it could go either way, and might need to change in the future. I don't know whether merger would be a problem for UNDUE or not, I could believe either position, I think. WilyD 08:21, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The WP:INDISCRIMINATE examples you have provided are just that—examples. The part being referred to is that which states "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia". Till 09:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Which is why I went on to address whether it's otherwise indiscriminate (and demonstrated that the answer is no). The statement "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia" could be referenced in an argument to delete any page on Wikipedia - it's a bit of a misnomer, since we have a usual inclusion standard, which nobody can even pretend isn't met here. The question is "Is this notable and encyclopaedic?" and the answer is "yes", with the only counter-point really being "Twitter is too silly to be encyclopaedic" by people who presumably imagine encyclopaedias to be academic, and academics to be stuffy (which, as an academic, I might take offence to.) Wily D 10:19, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merger won't be problem for WP:UNDUE, but the depth of this aspect of Ashotn Kutcher's coverage would and currently is a huge problem with WP:UNDUE. Merging or keeping in place, this coverage must be reduced to be in line with policy. And after being properly condensed, the content is not going to be a problem in context of size. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 11:04, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - why would you have a Wikipedia page for some famous person's Twitter?! Or we can keep it as a badge of uselessness and wasted time. It is absurd to me. Or how about we make a Wiki for his YouTube (if he has one, and track his views and video rankings) and one for his Facebook to note every million milestown of "likes" he gets?

In fairness, there is a bunch of official looking letters to link for the only real argument for deletion, it's WP:IDONTLIKEIT. If you click on it and read, it says "Don't argue to delete something just because you don't like it", but what are the chances anyone will do that? Wily D 16:16, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)Yeah, but how do those sources prove that Ashton Kutcher's Twitter is independent of Ashton Kutcher? Every single source that mentions Ashton Kutcher's Twitter also mentions Ashton Kutcher. p b p 16:20, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How do the sources about the economic policy of Barack Obama prove that Obama's economic policy is independent of Barack Obama? They prove it by the sheer number of the sources discussing his economic policy specifically. We have a large number of sources specifically devoted to discussing Kutcher's Twitter activity. Plenty of celebrities tweet, but nearly all of the coverage of that activity is little more than "x celebrity tweeted such-and-such about widgets" while this is not the case with Kutcher.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 17:10, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This is rather obvious: sources about economic policy of Barack Obama discuss the economic policy of the state, not those of Barack Obama personally. On the opposite, an article about Ashton Kutcher on Twitter is exactly on Ashton Kutcher in context of one of his activities. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:43, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
An idea: why have articles on autobiographies and biographical articles on the authors of those autobiographies? Surely they could never be independently notable. Darryl from Mars (talk) 23:54, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Primarily because reliable sources have taken it as a subject. When we weigh that against parade of horribles, it tends in reason to, keep. Alanscottwalker (talk) 14:42, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment/Defer I ended up here after responding to the RfC for broadening the scope of the article back on its talk page. I've read through this discussion as well to gain more context, and S Marshall said something that I agree with: Wikipedia, as a community, hasn't decided how we are to respond to "X on Twitter" and "X in Social Media" articles in general. If "X on Twitter" articles are allowable, then this article should be too, and should remain as-is. If "X on Twitter" articles are not allowable, but "X in Social Media" articles are, then the scope of this article should be broadened. If neither is allowable, then this should be merged back into the Ashton Kutcher article. I don't think we have a clear direction here without a clear guideline as to how to handle these situations. I think there should be a broader RfC to decide this first, after which we can come back and apply those guidelines here. Arathald (talk) 02:55, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks like there already is a discussion on this Arathald (talk) 03:11, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - No, it looks like there was discussion on this, and now there is consensus on that. Arguably, it is not yet implemented in policy, though WP:NOT and WP:CFORK do the job. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 08:56, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - The discussion wasn't closed when I posted my comment here yesterday. Now that it is, we can apply those findings to make a better decision here. One of the points in the summary is that "There may be very rare exceptions when a person is extremely notable and/or their use of social media is extremely notable thus making it impractical to cover his/her use of social media within their main biography in adequate detail." Ashton Kutcher likely falls into that category. Based on that discussion, I think there's clear enough consensus that we should Keep this article (I would personally argue against it, but I think using that consensus is a better approach. Even if I don't really like it, this looks like the direction that the community has decided to go.) This doesn't preclude broadening the scope to "Ashton Kutcher in Social Media", but that's a separate RfC. Arathald (talk) 19:54, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - The closing admin states that consensus is that topics "X on Twitter" are inappropriate, but in exceptional cases topics "X on social media" are appropriate. This case isn't such, as the whole topic boils down to a single won race on single social media. Also note, as the closing admin note himself, he judged on then-current AfDs, so this closing comment is derived from this discussion. Still, should you read the comments themselves, there is an evident nearly-unanimous consensus that the topics "X on Twitter" are inappropriate under any circumstances. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 13:51, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        The closest I see to that in the summary is
        Singling out Twitter is probably unnecessary for most celebrities. Instead the topic "X's use of social media" is preferable.
        The word "most" here very strongly implies that it may be appropriate for some celebrities, and, based on my reading of comments on this topic, Ashton Kutcher is likely one of those celebrities for whom such an article would be appropriate, if there indeed are any. When I was skimming over the responses (there's too much there for me to actually go through at the time), I agree with the admin that the question was not well phrased, and leads to inherent bias in the votes. In other words, while a lot of commenters agreed that "X on Twitter" articles are generally inappropriate, very few said that they were always inappropriate, which is what you are trying to get across. Most votes did, in fact, say that in exceptional cases, such an article might be allowable. My vote is based directly on what consensus was reached in that discussion.

Delete per WP:NOTDIARY and WP:NOT#IINFO. The topic is not encyclopedic. The nature of coverage of celebrities in the media is such that almost all aspects of their lives, even very trivial ones, will get extensive media coverage. That does not mean that all aspects of the life of a celebrity merit a Wikipedia article, which is one of the reasons why we have WP:NOT. That the subject meets the GNG is irrelevant to these considerations: meeting the GNG does not mean that something is encyclopedic, or vice versa. And before someone objects that WP:NOT#IINFO only applies to summary-only descriptions of works, lyrics databases and statistics, these are merely meant to be examples of the application of a general principle. As the policy says, The examples under each section are not intended to be exhaustive. I suppose it would be possible to do some sort of merge, but the target article Ashton Kutcher does already include coverage of his Twitter activities and a merge would have to be very selective to avoid giving undue weight to this (very small) aspect of this person's life. Hut 8.5 21:34, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What you`re looking for is、"This topic is not encyclopedic because..." Your arguements are applicable to the situation if and only if we've already assumed this is a trivial aspect. If it`s nothing more than a bare assertion of `indiscriminate, diary`; it`s far less relevant than GNG. Darryl from Mars (talk) 14:59, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Please note, that per WP:N in each and every case WP:GNG is absolutely irrelevant until the subject passes WP:NOT, which is obviously not the case here. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:54, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - Oh, do come off; that's ludicrous and if this were any other article you'd admit that. I call...WP:TRIVIA on Trains, excessive detail only of relevance to hobbyists. Now you're going to sit there and tell me how a nomination like that would get the article deleted, right? Obviously any arguments based on notability or relevance or popularity or whatever else may exist are tootally irrelevant as long as there's a person out there who's willing to merely -claim- the article violates something in WP:NOT, correct? The truth of the matter is, whether it's trains or Twitter, it's not really worth the slightest if you can't be troubled to justify it. It's somewhat odd that people are willing to say nothing more than 'According to this sentence in WP:NOT, some articles should be deleted. Therefore, delete this one' and honestly believe they've made a complete and logical argument. Darryl from Mars (talk) 14:07, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      - WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS again? It's amusing that if "WP:NOT" is substituted with "WP:N" in your comment, neither the reason, nor validity of this comment changes. It is absolutely logical that the article should be deleted if its subject is excluded from the Wikipedia's scope by What Wikipedia is not. Though I disagree that the article should be deleted, I see the rationale. To the contrary, I don't understand your general dismissal of WP:NOT: the page containing ";company:phone number" would also be excluded by WP:NOT, and I don't believe that there is going to be any single "keep" !vote in the discussion. This article isn't much better in this regard, as if one moved to Ashton Kutcher the several statements that belong there, this article would cover the trivia which is at very least insignificant and not encyclopedic. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 15:45, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Er...yes, it's perfectly reasonable that my argument should apply to both NOT and Notability, isn't it? I'm not sure you completely understood me, I was trying to explain how an unjustified argument, in general, shouldn't be given the weight you're trying to give it. I certainly wasn't arguing 'we have trains, so we should have this'. Darryl from Mars (talk) 16:27, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        So you simply reiterate the position that all these "On DATE @aplusk had N followers and it was noted by REPORTER with a COMMENT" things are not trivia? Then you probably can draw some examples of trivia which you recognize? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:50, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        Firstly, let's note that 'with a COMMENT' is key, that's the whole point of using secondary sources, that they make comments on the topic. Glossing over all the significant information as 'COMMENT' is silly. Secondly, are you asking me to demonstrate what kind of thing I think is trivia? I guess something like 'he often uses multiple question marks when surprised'? A piece of information that does nothing other than exist as a piece of information, rather than relating to or having an effect on something else. kind of like 'the light-saber sound-effect is heard 74 times' would be in a star wars article, that's pretty trivia-like, no? Darryl from Mars (talk) 17:06, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        The problem is that "with COMMENT" is nothing of a key. It is just citation, which doesn't say anything about the encyclopedic value of the content that the comment verifies. And I would also note that Wiktionary disagrees with you: trivia is "insignificant trifles of little importance, especially items of unimportant information", which is the most precise description of the content of the article in question. The fact that these items are verifiable doesn't change much. And, as I noted before, WP:GNG doesn't apply in the lack of separate subject, not to mention GNG–NOT relation and WP:NOTDIARY. So the delete per WP:NOT view is quite relevant here. Still, I'm not sure that this article is eligible for deletion at all, as WP:BEFORE suggests that merge action has higher priority, and selective merge is absolutely possible here. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 20:29, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        You know, if you didn't really want my opinion, and you were only after another chance to say 'all this information is obviously unimportant', then I'll just have to disagree with you again. Darryl from Mars (talk) 01:50, 14 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary break deux

Keep -- WilyD's sources show that Kutcher's Twitter usage is extremely well covered by mainstream media and a great article has been written that presents it in a neutral view. I'll be happy to argue for deletion of 99.9% of X on Twitter articles if you take a random celebrity with a Twitter account and try to build an article around it. But Kutcher's twitter usage coverage is definitely exceptional. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 22:21, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This is just not enough to keep the article. As "Ashton Kutcher on Twitter" is a clear subtopic of Ashton Kutcher, per WP:CFORK it may only be kept separate if there is some good reason for that. Your statement that the content of the article in question should be condensed eliminates the last resort argument for not merging these articles. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:01, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Condense and merge When I look at an encyclopedia article I think, mmm would my great grandson in 100 years consider it an encyclopedic subject and be interested in learning about it... Unfortunately coverage in news sources has somehow become a "wikipedia must therefore cover it too". Y es you could argue it meets sourcing requirements but it still doesn't address why wikipedia actually needs to cover i as a separate article and why a condensed summary can't just be added to the biography like Justin Bieber's.

Keep This isn't trivial. Hathatehat (talk) 20:09, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or merge there's a difference between unacceptable WP:CONTENTFORKS versus unacceptable WP:SPINOUTS. The comments that focus exclusively on reliable sources and the notability guideline are focused on only one part of an incomplete answer. Even more important than a guideline about sourcing is our policy on What Wikipedia is WP:NOT. The spirit of the policy matters as much as the letter. The exact letter states that:

"Even when an individual is notable, not all events he is involved in are. For example, news reporting about celebrities and sports figures can be very frequent and cover a lot of trivia, but using all these sources would lead to overdetailed articles that look like a diary."

This policy of WP:NOTDIARY is itself sufficient to warrant deletion. In addition, the opening statement of the WP:NOT content section discourages articles that are assembled by a complete exposition of all details (for example, every single time that Ashton Kutcher passed another celebrity in terms of twitter followers). There are numerous other sections of Wikipedia policy that discourage this kind of "X in Y" article except under unusual circumstances. If mere sources were enough, we wouldn't need WP:NOT. WP:NOT is to say that even some articles with proper sourcing do not provide enough encyclopedic information to be treated as a separate subject. In the alternative, I would support a merge back to the main article once all the details about who passed who when are substantially trimmed and summarized (e.g.: "Ashton Kutcher had the most followers on twitter from date X to date Y, and again on date A to date B.)
