- Delete. The only coverage in a reliable source i could find from Google searches is half a sentence in the University of Nottingham student magazine. That's not significant coverage, however, nor is it completely independent, so fails to meet WP:GNG or WP:ORG. Qwfp (talk) 08:31, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Per above. Patken4 (talk) 21:40, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - with a couple of odd historical exceptions, university sport in the UK is completely non-notable. It gets no mainstream press coverage at all and even at the universities themselves it is not on the radar of people not directly involved in the teams. This is especially true of a minor sport like ice hockey. I actually work at a UK university and have done for quite a few years, and I had no idea that we had an ice hockey team until I saw the template at the bottom of this article..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:11, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is unsourced. It may be a hoax. The notability of this extremely-distant planet has not been demonstrated. It doesn't warrant an article on Wikipedia unless notability can be established and supported by a reliable published source. Dolphin (t) 23:01, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge to List of extrasolar planets detected by microlensing Not a hoax: found the paper this is based on (MOA 2010-BLG-477Lb: constraining the mass of a microlensing planet from microlensing parallax, orbital motion and detection of blended light) though it's on arXiv and hasn't been published in a peer-reviewed journal as of yet.

Non notable book ,for which worldCat reports only 20 library holdings. The Psychology Today ref. is a citation, not a review, Everything else is PR based and unreliable for notability DGG ( talk ) 22:05, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Literature-related deletion discussions. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 00:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Wasn't sure what was meant by "citation" above - If Psychology Today cited it as a source, that would be at least mildly impressive. But this is not in the magazine as far as I can tell, it's just a blog on the site, and it only mentions the book briefly as an aside. That's pretty much the definition of trivial coverage. The other references used for the article are either also trivial coverage, fail WP:RS rules, or both. A local listing that an author is doing a signing does nothing for establishing enough notability to be mentioned on Wikipedia, let alone have an article about the book. And there is no notability guideline hat gives anyone who makes an appearance on Dr. Drew or any other similar show worthy of an article here. DreamGuy (talk) 02:22, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

She did not win a NY Emmy. She was merely a junior member of a 23 person team that won one. [2]. There is no other indication of notability: the NJF fellowship is not significant to notability: it is attendance at a 4 day seminar . The references for it and the other material are press releases only. DGG ( talk ) 22:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:N, WP:PRIMARY, WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTTRAVEL. The article is purely a directory of primary source data and lacks significant coverage in reliable secondary sources to establish notability. Wikipedia is not a travel guide. Charles (talk) 21:37, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It's still informative, which is good. There are many subjects that can only be properly sourced with primary sources. I have also seen several transport-related articles with no or little good sources and yet no one touches them, so what is that bad about buses, but not trams and trains? Adam Mugliston Talk 21:41, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- My understanding is that primary sources can be appropriate depending on the context. The Tube Map, for example, is a primary source, produced by TfL for its own network, but its use is so widespread and popular consensus is so strong towards it being accurate, that it's considered not to have bias, which is one of the problems primary sources sometimes have. --Ritchie333 (talk) 09:29, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Neutral—I'm on the fence about this one. If kept, I would strongly suggest that this be collapsed into a table by losing all of the infoboxes and using those data points as cells in a table. Then include the comments as a column. Imzadi 1979 → 02:28, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - A perfectly valid list, per WP:LIST. WP:NOTDIR is meant for indiscriminate "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics". This list is very discriminate and it is in no manner a repository of a loosely associated topics." I fail to see how a school bus route list is considered a "travel guide." --Oakshade (talk) 04:56, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Indiscriminate "Lists or repositories of loosely associated topics" is only paragraph 1 of WP:NOTDIR. Paragraphs 4 and 8 are more relevant for this article. A list of Tesco conveniance stores in London would be discriminate and probably more useful but not what Wikipedia is for and not encyclopedic.--Charles (talk) 22:02, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge / Redirect to List of bus routes in London. WP:NTS suggests that overall transport systems are notable (which TfL definitely is, and TfL buses probably are), whereas individual routes should just be listed under that. I can't think of a good reason why the school bus system is notable in its own right. --Ritchie333 (talk) 09:22, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Procedural note: an earlier version of this list was discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/London School Buses. Alzarian16 (talk) 19:03, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Although there is excessive detail here, there is value in keeping lists of bus routes as a valid alternative for those who would otherwise wish to create articles on an individual route. As for the school buses being separate this keeps the list a manageable size. Sussexonian (talk) 23:54, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article subject does not meet criteria for WP:BAND or WP:GNG. Previously WP:PROD-BLP tagged, inadvertently WP:PRODed by reporting editor. Tgeairn (talk) 20:53, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete - I found no significant coverage from independent and reliable sources with a Google News search and only one article from a Google News Archive search. The single article is used as a reference in the WP article and does represent independent and significant coverage from a reliable (but local) source. The second source listed in the WP article is from an LA Weekly blog and in my opinion, does represent independent and significant coverage from a reliable (but local) source. Alone, these article don't satisfy WP:GNG, in my opinion. The LA Weekly article mentions him publishing his second album under a label called Alpha Pup which is a notable label that lists him as a signee. As it's only his first album under a label at all he doesn't qualify for WP:MUSICBIO point 5. I can also find no evidence of charting and no evidence of being on any major tours. Ultimately, I think the subject of this article is about as close to being notable on WIkipedia as you can be without actually being notable. The only reason I !voted Weak delete is because, for me, it all hinges on those two sources being from local/regional sources and not nationally distributed news sources. In short, WP:NotJustYet.

- Delete I have more than a passing familiarity with Alaskan hip-hop, or what passes for such. There is only one artist with even faint recognition outside of Alaska, that being Josh Boots. Not only does he not have an article, but the one mention I could find on here (in Daniel Jones (musician)) doesn't provide enough detail to establish whether it refers to the same person. If Shaner is actually a Southern Californian who previously lived in Alaska, the article gives undue weight to his Alaska roots by virtue of the lack of any other biographical information (and those roots don't appear to be important locally; see below). The first impression I had from glancing at this article is that someone felt they could get away with "sneaking it in" and not face any scrutiny. Along those lines, there are articles for each of his releases, all of which say about as little as this article does. Should these be included in this AFD as well?RadioKAOS (talk) 00:47, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh yeah, something else...our area newspaper, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, is typically happy to run a story on a local person when they achieve success in the media or celebrity world, more often than not putting the story on the front page. Ben Grossmann is a prime example of such from earlier this year. The newspaper's archive search turns up no mention of Shaner's name.RadioKAOS (talk) 02:09, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The man was murdered. So what? A lot of people are killed. This would be a BLP1E if he wasn't dead. If he never did anything notable while alive, why should he have an article because he copped it?

- REname to Murder of Anuj Bidve. The murder was widely reported when it happened and may have a long term effect on the reputation of Britain. I am not clear where the investigation of the murder has got to, but I suspect that there will be a trial in due course. Unfortunately the wheels of justice move slowly.

- Delete - If only every murdered person covered in the press is included in Wiki. This is not the case and therefore, this person is no different. Further, the initiator of this article was perhaps in a rush to create an article with no regard for the cause of justice, which I find grossly irresponsible considering the fact that the case is still ongoing. Even if this article should be here, it should not be now (too soon). Wikipedia is not here to contravene the natural cause of justice and editors should be very careful when creating these kinds of artilces. The name of the article is also wrong which further demonstrates the hastiness in which the editor wrote this article.Tamsier (talk) 16:50, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually this case is different from "every murdered person covered in the press". It has received far more coverage in the national press in both the UK and India than an "average" killing, largely because this kind of seemingly random shooting is much rarer in the UK than in some other countries, and that coverage has continued. I would add that, at least until the trial is over, the title should be "Killing of Anuj Bidve" rather than "Murder of Anuj Bidve", because there is the possibility that the court will decide that this was manslaughter rather than murder. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:54, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Which is what we're waiting for, really. The accused denies murder but admits manslaughter (what's the difference?) so "Killing of Anuj Bidve" would be the better title. Even though I'm actually vouching for this to be deleted. But yeah. Rcsprinter (deliver) 19:31, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Tamsier, I really do not appreciate being called grossly irresponsible. There was no reason I could see not to create the article and some good reasons to create it (they aren't relevant to this AfD though). At that time I thought just the victim's name was appropriate, and Phil points out a good reason why murder would still be inappropriate. This was high-profile when I created it, certainly not an average killing, and we create this sort of article routinely long before a court case is settled or even begun.

Article about an alternative number system that claims to be "commonly used", and yet the only reference to the system is this page at archimedes-lab.org, the reliability of which cannot be ascertained (it appears to be a blog run by a couple of writers). All other sources on give in the article are mirrors, copies, or direct translations of the original archimedes-lab page.

- Keep - The article's subject is verifiable and at the same time it is not original research. And it is clearly notable because a Google search for "Notae Elegantissimae" produces thousands of relevant results. Since it is not a biography, the WP:BLP1E criterion does not apply here. And lastly the article has just been created. It would be better to improve the article (by finding and adding more sources) instead of deleting it.

- Keep The nominator asks a very valid question. "Is this even a real political group?" In response, I would ask, does the nominator read Turkish? Has the nominator engaged in a detailed search of online Turkish language sources that would allow the nominator to offer an informed opinion? I favor a relatively low threshold for acceptance of the notability of political organizations and parties worldwide; left, right and center. This encyclopedia ought to cover such groups comprehensively, unless it can be demonstrated that the articles are hoaxes, or are about truly insignificant groups.

- Delete While Cullen328 may personally want low thresholds for notability on Wikipedia, we must at least use Wikipedia's rules for notability, and those at this time indicate this is not a notable topic. It is not up to us to demonstrate that this is a "truly insignificant" group, it is up to the article to demonstrate notability. It fails to do that, and if nobody bothers to fix it, assuming it svsncan be fixed, then it deserves to be deleted.

- Keep. I've found many more sources and while the PW, KR, and Booklist reviews are sort of short, the About.com source is by a staff member (as opposed to a random member of the site) and we have reviews by the Seattle Times, the New Statesman, and Independent. There's a ton of mentions in books as sources, although I generally try not to use that as a justification to keep because that's something that could be debated. It does appear that there has been a documentary based off of Lamb's book, although it doesn't appear to be overwhelmingly notable so I don't think that really counts towards the book passing WP:NBOOK. There's not an overabundance of sources that would make this overwhelmingly and completely notable, but I believe that there's just enough here to have this squeak by.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:44, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The book reviews prove notability . PW reviews are always short, but it's very selective, and the presence of a review there has always been accepted here as one of the reviews contributing to the notability of a book. Booklist similarly. Kirkus Reviews similarly, for the period--I think its reliability for notability has sharply declined since its relaunch in 2009, and is is now essentially a PR site--see the article on it. Worldcat shows about 500 holdings in libraries, as would be expected for a book widely reviewed in the journals librarians use to decide if a book is worth buying.

per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, lack of notability, lack of long-term consequences, already covered in Hungary–Slovakia relations article. Although there are only few things that I love more than Slovaks and Hungarian nationalistic morons having their internet battleground on the Wikipedia, this is just waste of bloody space. It was minor diplomatic incident, between two unimportant countries that half of the world can´t find on a map and rest don´t give a damn, which went fort and on for maybe a week and than was forgotten. Small summary in relation article like above is completely appropriate, if we want to create article for each incident like this, effectively creating largest newspaper archive on the world, Jimmy Wales will have to make another appeal for donation as he will need pretty large chunk of Sahara to place his servers EllsworthSK (talk) 18:10, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to the subsection in Hungary-Slovakia relations, per WP:NOT, this article reads too much like a tabloid newspaper and long lists of newspaper quotes simply are not encyclopedic. These Slota-Solyom-Fico articles are all a massive walled garden with huge BLP concerns which would be better contained in one article on diplomatic relations and amongst the biographies in an acceptable manner. The tone of this nomination is woeful though, and I advise people in this AfD to please keep cool, one thing I dislike seeing on Wikipedia is people complaining that there's too much fighting between nationalists and then opening fire with rhetoric like this in a way which is clearly going to get people's tempers rising. That "half the world can't place Slovakia and Hungary on a map" is irrelevant, minor diplomatic scuffles between the US and Mexico would be equally non-notable for their own articles, and so is server space, the WMF already has a news source project where an article about this incident probably would have been welcome at the time. - filelakeshoe 18:56, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, I´ll take blame for the tone. However I quit editing articles which had anything to do with Slovakia, Hungary or both countries combined years ago and few days ago someone left a message on my talk if I could look on one of the issues (completely unimportant in my opinion) which deals with this stuff. Than I started going through other articles relevant to these fights and I figured out that I did a good thing when I decided not to deal with that stuff anymore, it kind of got on my nerves when I saw that these articles are even bigger battleground between two sides whose sole objective is to turn them into their own personal blogs than articles which deal with extremely controversial topics of civil wars in MENA and other regions that I have been focusing lately myself.

According to SSRN, Professor Rajagopal has published 40 papers which have been cited a total of 40 times. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, but according to that group's web site, "Fellowship is open to anyone anywhere in the world who shares or demonstrates a commitment to positive social change in their professional, civic or personal life" and who pays the £155 Fellowship fee. Thus, the professor does not appear to be notable per WP:PROF.

I request all to look at from the perspective of academic contributions that this article generates. Professor Rajagopal is known in the field of innovaltive marketing and he has contributed a lot to the academics in his field. The new concepts developed and illustrated by him is being pursued for further research by the doctoral students of various business schools across the countries-notably in Mexico, USA, India, Sweeden,and Denmark. On the concepts generated by him also Bachelor's level theses were worked on by the students of Johnkoping University, Sweeden. What makes so agreessive in this article to be deleted from Wikipedeia? He is editor of three international journals of Inderscience (UK) and one of Emerald. I wonder why his credentials are considered as advertisement?

Weak keepVery weak keep This is not a very good article and despite the above post, extremely promotional. It is claimed that the subject is editor-in-chief of two journals. The website of the International Journal of Leisure and Tourism Marketing only lists him as a member of the editorial board, however (perhaps the appointment is recent and the website not yet updated). The website of the International Journal of Business Competition and Growth does list him as EIC. Although this journal does not currently have an article here, it would meet WP:NJournals, albeit barely. I don't find any citations in the Web of Science and Google Scholar only gives citation rates of less than 10 per article. In all, I think the editorship makes this a narrow pass of WP:PROF#8.

- Usually, we accept a journal to be "a major well-established academic journal" if it meets our inclusion criteria. According to its homepage, the International Journal of Business Competition and Growth is indexed in EconLit and InfoTrac.

- Delete per WP:NALBUMS - 'Unreleased material is only notable if it has significant independent coverage in reliable sources.' Two articles by the same author (and self-published material) doesn't meet the requirement for significant coverage.--Joshuaism (talk) 20:45, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Album fails WP:NALBUM. From what I can find (as others have), the album was announced but never released. I won't echo what others have said but can add by saying that a Google News search produces no significant, independent, and reliable coverage and Google News archive search produces no new coverage besides what's already in the article or regurgitation of apparently false non-independent information. In other words, even though the sources that published the information may be reliable, the information they were covering was not. At most, that should be covered but not in its own article and since the rumors are already covered in the Jesse McCartney article, the article should be deleted.OlYeller21Talktome 22:30, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure whether we have ever decided whether a videography of a YouTube personality, even one who seems to pass the notability standard, is itself a suitable separate article. The utterly trivial nature of most of the contents leads me to doubt it.. I suppose this is not the place to decide if it is even suitable content, but I doubt that also. DGG ( talk ) 03:24, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: I believe Ryan Higa the person, as well as his body of work, are each independently notable. As the second-most subscribed person on YouTube with various media mentions he certainly seems notable to me. His page receives around 1500-2000 hits per day, placing him in the top 7000 articles by hits.
- I will concede that reliable sources generally avoiding discussing his work at length. However, per WP:INHERIT, "Often, a separate article is created for formatting and display purposes; however, this does not imply an 'inherited notability' per se, but is often accepted in the context of ease of formatting and navigation, such as with books and albums."
- I see this as a practical concern related to formatting. On a practical level, such a lengthy videography took up an inordinate amount of space on his article. While I personally find most Web videos trivial, I also believe in describing a body of work that has garnered popular culture appeal. This is simply a way of making that content more accessible to those who want it, and keeping it out of the way for people looking for general information about the person. CaseyPenk (talk) 03:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Your argument is made of WP:BIG, WP:POPULARPAGE, bordering WP:PRETTY and your original research. It fails WP:NOTABILITY, so whether WP:INHERIT applies or not is a moot point. You say he's certainly notable, but then you go on to say the article is too small for this content. Short biographies suggests lack of notability, not proof.

- Janet Devlin (singer) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD • Stats)

Devlin was a contestant on last year's UK X-Factor series. Janet Devlin is a redirect to the contestants page. Like the other contestants', she has not long been out of the post-series tour and has done nothing of great note in her own right. The new article is almost entirely about her activities with X-factor, apart from a few subsequent 'tweets' an announcement she is due to start recording. It is normal practise to redirect to the reality TV series until contestants become independently notable. Sionk (talk) 22:24, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your consideration on the Article. I would appreciate if we could work together so that the article satisfies your concerns. The Article tries to point out that there has been quite considerable moments of worthy notability. There have been a number of newspaper, magazine, television & radio recognition on the said artist. The artist has received an Honorary Civil Award from Omagh County Council for example which has been reliably sourced. I would also appreciate if you could point out where the 'tweets' are. I am new to the process and would like to reiterate that I appreciate your help and feedback. Kind regards, Michelle Gortinsheep (talk) 23:23, 18 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Believe me, I hope she does well in the future. But with only vague promises of an album she clearly hasn't made her mark outside of X-factor yet. The Music News source confirms she's about to start recording some tracks. This seems to be the only post-X factor news coverage. See WP:NMUSIC for examples of what might make her notable in the future, for example releasing a successful track. I've amended the 'tweet' comment, I thought one of the sources quoted her tweets. Sionk (talk) 00:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your considered and swift response. I would put forward that the Artist has made her mark outside of X Factor, I can point you to reliable sources to this fact. If you review the article, a number of the sources are post X Factor and can provide further evidence of this fact. I appreciate that new Articles must be thoroughly scrutinised and totally respect your input and opinion. As I said, I am quite new to the process and would really appreciate any advice and help that you could give. I would still put forward that the Artist deserves a atand alone article. Rest assured I fully take on board your points. Thank you so much for your time and kind consideration. Kind regards, Michelle Gortinsheep (talk) 01:59, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to List of The X Factor finalists (UK series 8)#Janet Devlin, as it was previously. Devlin is not notable outside of the series as she has not had any singles or albums in any chart. Note that I redirected the page, not realising this AFD was open as the template was removed. I also moved the page to Janet Devlin where it should be, but that does not affect this. I reverted my other actions. –anemoneprojectors– 13:11, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Thank you for your considered and informative response. I would put forward that the Artist has been notable outside of X Factor. For Example, the Artist is the recipient of an Honorary Award at a Civic Reception from Omagh Council in Northern Ireland. Leaving aside the millions of YouTube Hits (Pre & During X Factor) which may or may not constitute Notability, the Artist has been subject to significant media coverage post X Factor as set out in WP:NMUSIC Part 1 Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself. I would suggest that the Artist satisfies this test . For example, the media coverage post X Factor: The Artist's Gigs post X Factor and recording her own original songs in studio with Eliot Kennedy & his team. In addition, the Artist was offered a Recording Contract within minutes of leaving the show; which is a X Factor record and notable of itself. I fully take on board that the Artist has not yet had a Single or Album in any chart yet....but would suggest that this is not far from happening. If you look at the Preamble to WP:NMUSIC It does state... Please note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted I hope I have gone some way to explain and hopefully persuade that the Artist is deserving and notable enough to have her own stand alone Artice. I shall now leave it in your capable hands and hope you can agree with what I have tried to get across. Should the consensus reach a decision that the Article be Redirected/Deleted, All I would ask is that the Artice be returned to my Sandbox so that I could maintain it until it is ready for mainspace....as the Editors see fit, should that arise. Finally, I would just like to say thank you very much for your time and expertise. It is very much appreciated.... Kind regards, Michelle Gortinsheep (talk) 00:28, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Just wanted to make a comment relating to articles about The X Factor contestants. The subjects of these articles may appear notable, but until they have a music release (not part of The X Factor contestants) that charts somewhere, then the list entries at List of The X Factor finalists (UK series 8) are sufficient. This is what has always happened in the past, with people like Stacey Solomon and Cher Lloyd, and is what should continue to happen. Otherwise we would have articles for every contestant - they always receive media coverage because of the show they were on. Even Frankie Cocozza is more deserving of an article than Janet Devlin because he's appeared in another reality TV series. –anemoneprojectors– 09:36, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Then this should be part of the Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles so that this does not appear as a subjective decision only related to X Factor contestants. And, then, it would have to written as part of the guidelines so that it does not single out X Factor but instead would capture every contestant on every music show including American Idol, which then would mean that would subject every individual person's article on Wikipedia from these shows to the same criteria. If we are not willing to have this as part of the guidelines, then we need to allow this page and other pages like it to stand so long as they meet the criteria at Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles. It becomes very confusing and creates an argument atmosphere to not adhere to written notability guidelines. -- NewzealanderA (talk) 15:28, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia:Notability is the primary guide for what should and should not be included in Wikipedia. Because Devlin has attracted significant attention from the media because of her 3-minute appearances on X-Factor, she is included on Wikipedia, at List of The X Factor finalists (UK series 8)#Janet Devlin. Hence the arguments here to 'redirect'. Sionk (talk) 10:40, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- If Wikipedia:Notability were the primary guide, then this discussion would not be happening. What is happening is that there is another level of unwritten notability being applied to these contestants based on what appears to be, at this point, precedent -- the examples stated above being Stacey Solomon and Cher Lloyd -- and interested editors that prevents these people from having their own article until a consensus threshold is met. Having dropped into this discussion because I happened to have been the last reviewer/editor for Talk:Misha_Bryan_(singer) which is in nearly the same situation, this is extremely frustrating. How can we avoid arguments like this in the future? Can there be a post on Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_X_Factor that outlines the consensus approach or the examples of others who have their own page? Something like that could be used as a reference going forward so that it becomes presented as more of the community decision than having it appear that it's just an opinion of one or two interested editors. -- NewzealanderA (talk) 14:41, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I seek to have a debate about the relevance of this article as there's strong evidence to suggest that this rivalry isn't mutual on the football field. This article cites many Peruvian sources which isn't overly balanced and the only neutral site the one coming from Malaysia only suggests that a war once occurred between the two nations but fails to conclusively suggest if this rivalry actually resonates to the football field. I can write more but I wish to keep this introduction short. Overall most Chileans don't consider Peru as a rival. Chelios123 (talk) 09:06, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. CNN in 2008 had this on a list of the "Top 10 international rivalries". This 2006 AP article about Chilean foreign affairs mentions the "heated rivalries over soccer matches" between Chile and Peru. This brief item in the Sunday Mail (Scotland) "describes them as "bitter rivals" and mentions that the Chilean team bus was stoned when it played in Peru in 2001. Here is Nolberto Solano in The Independent in 1999 describing Chile as Peru's "greatest rivals". I note that the history of this article indicates that substantial sourced portions (notably about the disagreement between the countries over who invented the bicycle kick, which is mentioned in the CNN list and discussed in our article about the history of the bicycle kick) have been deleted, rather than improved as they might have been. On the other hand, the current sections describing the Chile and Peru team histories, without reference to the rivalry, seem a bit off the point. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:34, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- those are vaild sources however it still goes outside the scope of "football rivalry". Most of the information on this article is only valid for the chile-peru relations page. Like I said before the football contest between chile and peru doen't resonate huge feelings of rivalry in Chilean society and ONLY seems to affect Peruvians e.g the stoning incident in Lima. If the sense of Rivalry isn't mutual then its NOT a rivalry. The Nolberto solano quote only contributes to the Peruvian POV and the CNN source still doesn't explain football related issues on the field e.g Notable games or famous incidents. The scope of this article is about "football rivalry" and sadly everything in this article except the table of the results goes outside the scope of "football rivalry". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chelios123 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep or Merge with Football rivalries in Chile/Football rivalries in Peru - The subject strains at meeting notability in its own right, but does have decent sources (and those supplied here above are even better) to establish the existence of the rivalry (whether the animosity is stronger on one side or another). However, it seems redundant to add a third page when we already have pages for football rivalries for both of the relevant countries. Why not rename Football rivalries in Chile and Football rivalries in Peru to Chilean football rivalries and Peruvian football rivalries, respectively? This way both internal and international content can be included in separate sections and the content from the the currently debated article can be merged into them, as can any content for any other rivalries that others may wish to add later that involves either of these nations. It would be a good standard for going forward if we are going to allow articles for individual nation's rivalries and will reduce overhead on the editorial work that would otherwise be necessary in debating the notability of specific rivalries in future AfD's.

A good reference point is to look at the england-germany or england-scotland football rivalry pages and you'll find that those articles are many layers higher in quality than the chile-peru football rivalry page. Just mentioning a "war" is not enough to contribute to a football rivalry. Compared to the England-Germany or England-Scotland pages this article lacks information about notable matches, quotes from important entities from both sides or any other notable football related event. --Chelios123 (talk) 18:35, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article, which appears to be largely or perhaps exclusively the creation of the subject and related parties, appears to be essentially promotional in nature. While the subject does have a local radio show (with internet syndication), there is a marked scarcity of reliable 3d party sources discussing the subject, and for that reason the article appears to fail the basic tests of WP:BIO. A PROD template was quickly removed by an anon editor, without explanation or improvement to the article.

I am the author of this entry on Stephen Turner and I have attempted to address the concerns that you have. I have tried to provide additional material that shows that his books and articles have been widely cited and that he is a recognized authority on Max Weber, social practices, social theory, and a number of other academic areas. I am open to any constructive comments on how to write this entry better. I do believe that he meets the professor listing and I thought that I have now added enough material to satisfy the problems about independent reliable sources--various book reviews in academic journals. I would also suggest that his middle name be removed so that the entry reads simply Stephen Turner. I would appreciate any help that you can give me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxweber1864 (talk • contribs) 18:09, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Tony, you may be right (you often are, in my experience), but let's help him out in trying to address the issues and see if we can make the notability or lack thereof clearer. (Distinguished University Professors at Research 1 schools, usually pass WP:PROF; it's a significant step above full professor). I see that his book The Impossible Science: An Institutional Analysis of American Sociology was reviewed in American Journal of Sociology, Social Forces and, intriguingly, Science [14] (rare for a sociology book) -- books with reviews in good peer-reviewed journals tend to argue for keeping. There may be some question about whether his collaborator should get some credit there, but he is the first listed author (despite being second alphabetically) and all the reviews has said that the two authors have very different views. I see 29 citations on GS for "The Disintegration of American Sociology: Pacific Sociological Association 1988 Presidential Address" which is pretty high for a 1989 research paper in a non-Internet-heavy discipline. His 1994 book received five different reviews. "Max" :-) -- these are the types of things that tend to help garner Keep votes on AfD for professors: citations of their authority through reviews, special chairs, and when possible quotations from other sources praising them as experts in their fields. Looking through the net for what might help you there, I've found enough that I feel justified in voting Strong Keep. You may know of additional materials offline that can help you in convincing others. (I think that Stephen Park Turner is a better place for the article since that's what he publishes under mostly. We can do some cleanup on the article's formatting if it's kept.) -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 22:11, 22 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating this as it had been dePRODed previously, my rationale of nominating is that this article is more like an attention grabbing press release of a car that have not existed since it was introduced four years ago, for that its a modified Ferrari intent on imitating a well known past model (an easy press points scorer). No physical photograph of the car exist, meaning that it never went beyond its CGI press image (or beyond its drawing board) and I doubt highly it will ever see notability, not since those years have passed. Press release aside, no other third party media coverage to do with it to establish notability exist either. Donnie Park (talk) 18:05, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirectto Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, the car it was supposed to be based on. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:36, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]- On second thought...keep. A Google News search [15] turns up numerous hits, including one as recently as 2011 [16], meaning it wasn't a flash in the pan, and one [17] from the Dutch edition of Autoweek that says the design won one of these in 2008. Something does not need to exist in order to be notable; I believe that the WP:GNG is met, and while the article in its current state does sound like a press release, AfD is not for cleanup. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- ...so this is keep for a project that will only exist in press release form only, just like every other failed projects and keep for ticking wikipedia notability boxes. There are plenty of failed projects but at least some of these have managed to come up with working prototypes if not a physical display model and that retro wannabe GTO is nothing but CGI image and nowhere beyond that. As I pointed out, the link you shown here look as if they are was written from press releases, nothing else and beyond that, no physical example. Are we supposed to give notability to CGI cars which I thought would normally be given for vehicles that appeared on fictitious works. As with Google search, c'mon, its a Ferrari, they will always generate publicity every day of each year, just add the GTO name and ghits will skyrocket overnight, people who know Ferrari will know that. Donnie Park (talk) 12:28, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Google books; that's something entirely different than a plain old WP:GHITS search. And we don't "give notability" to anything; the fact of the matter is that, 'CGI car' or not, this appears to meet the WP:GNG, at which point it is notable and article-worthy. No physical example is required; just because it wasn't built doesn't mean it's automatically non-notable. Given the number of mentioned in published works, and the fact that the design has won significant awards, this is a notable thing that is deserving of an article. (Also, given that the project was still extant as of 2011, it seems that declarations it will never be built might be somewhat crystal-bally.) - The Bushranger One ping only 18:45, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Google books search results only have a single link to its official website, which again, is that a reliable source. So you comparing this to military aircraft/ships, which is more than likely to be notable, to put it this way, they are likely to appear in books wheras this is likely to be forgotten - anybody with a design degree (or anybody else) can come up with a car which is unlikely for military vehicles. Back to what I said, it still consists of the same press releases along with its usual press musings just as i said, I doubt this project will go beyond its drawing board, why, nothing have been heard of the project since 2008.

Delete(please see my new position three threads down). There are no sufficient and viable sources to establish notability and the stub's worth of content is clearly promotional in nature, and may have even been contributed by someone who is connected to the subject's designer. Snow (talk) 03:22, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]- If it's promotional in tone, AfD is not for cleanup - also, there are sufficent sources to establish notability. See: [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26]. I'd fix the article myself except I don't read Dutch. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:53, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Well only three of those are really decent sources, but three is enough for verifiability certainly. Not really sure about notability though. The sources reiterate the stats of the car, but they don't really discuss them in evaluative, contextualizing or broader detail. But I will translate some of the better sources and put them on a subpage here (maybe as late as tomorrow though) and people can come to their own conclusions. Thanks for bringing these to attention.

- Delete All evidence I've come across is that this is vapor-coachwork. It made a big blog splash back in 2006/2007 but I have not seen evidence that a physical car was ever made. Mangoe (talk) 14:08, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Vaporware is still notable; the fact that an actual car was not built isn't reason to delete. Also, please see the links above establishing notability, including one from 2011 indicating it's a still-extant project (also WP:NTEMP). - The Bushranger One ping only 23:53, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep—Bushranger's research shows notable coverage in third-party sources. We don't delete things that didn't make it off the drawing board, and we don't delete things that could just be cleaned up. Imzadi 1979 → 02:40, 27 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Notable only for that short period with a hint of promotional tone to it and copied from press releases, which is typical of all failed projects. I will assure you that in five years time, my rationale to nominate this article will always be the same and we will allow a flood of projects that will never go off the ground, being an expensive car based on a prestigious brand and a well known car, they will have no problem getting media coverage like this one.

- Notability is not temporary. - The Bushranger One ping only 19:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- While I too am dubious about the notability of this particular subject, what you are saying actually serves more as a justification for keeping the article. The fact that a commerical media blitz can accompany a project like this (whether it comes to fruition or not), only makes it more likely that valid sources will cover it. My only question is whether an unrealized concept for a possibly singular unit for one ultra-wealthy customer that is really only an adaption of an existing subject is really general-use knowledge that benefits Wikipedia users. But I think what you're going to find is that people will make the argument that policy allows for the article (whether it serves any useful purpose or not) in that it has been covered, however briefly, by reputable sources (however small). I would counter that these sources don't seem to do much but list the people who were signed up to assist in the (ultimately unfulfilled) project and some of the car's theoretical performance stats and that this does not itself translate to wider notability or contextual relevance sufficient to meet WP:GNG, but given the community's (intentionally) lax standards on these things, I think you should be prepared for a "keep" determination. Snow (talk) 21:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- As a note (WP:OTHERSTUFF, yes , but relevant to the above comment), the one-off Ferrari SP12 EC was kept. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:34, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- True, but as you yourself note, we can't really make these determinations based on what was done with previous AfD's, however similar the articles. I'd also note that the SP12 article seems to have superior independent sources, that the project in question was an "in-house" project by Ferrari which was part of an established one-off series, that the model was produced, and that it was made for Eric Clapton no less -- all of which goes a long way to boosting its notability considerably over the present article. And yet, all of that said, I think I would have voted to merge that article too. Snow (talk) 22:52, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Note: I have translated four of the sources provided by Bushranger above to help assess the notability of this subject. Please note that, as the majority of the languages involved and auto engineering in general are out my wheelhouse, some of the technical language may be off. For our purposes here, that should not be a problem, but anyone wishing to add these details as content to the article should fact-check them scrupulously. Also note that the remaining sources were either broken links, invalid sources, or were near-verbatim variations on the four that were translated, so this seems to be the sum total of the info we have available to us at present.

- Thanks for fixing that up! I might try, if I get the time, to work some of that into the article. - The Bushranger One ping only 18:36, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- NP, Happy to do it. :) In fact, anytime you need material translated (whether it be investigating sources or transwiki-ing content), feel free to let me know - I've got a linguistics background and a wide array of tools so I'm ok even with languages I'm not particularly familiar with.

- Merge and redirect to Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano, as per Bushranger's original position (note that he now endorses a keep). I think given A) this really is an adaption of the Fiorano, B) we're unlikely to ever have more than a stub's worth of viable content to add on this subject, and C) notability is at-best contentious, a subsection on that article seems like the best course of action.

The result was Delete. Note that the artist's name is actually Calvin Harris, and that the correct title of this article would've been Calvin Harris's third studio album. Should such an article be recreated, this AFD would apply equally to that article as to this one, insofar as G4 Speedy Deletion and other concerns would come into play.

Contested PROD. No indication of notability, fail WP:NALBUMS. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The fact that the release date was suppose to be 23 July just 2 days ago and is now shown to be 29 October, and still no album name shows how little solid information there is.

- Delete - No album name == no article. Apart from known, sequential sorts of thins, e.g. 2016 Summer Olympics, we generally avoid creating articles for things that do not exist, Mention it in the artist's article, and as soon as it is named, create it. Tarc (talk) 00:53, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I'm finding no significant coverage for this yet-to-be-released album in reliable sources. This artist's album will clearly be notable as the release date approaches, but at this time it's WP:CRYSTAL and does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NALBUMS.

This is where TenPoundHammer's law comes from, which is a reflection of the reality of AfDs and future albums. WP:HAMMERTIME.
