Non-notable neologism. No lasting notability. Does not appear to have the level of usage in the media that would make M&M Boys, Whiz Kids (baseball), Core Four, or other similar group nicknames worth keeping. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:41, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Much as I loved Andromeda, I feel this list is nothing more than fancruft. Most of the systems themselves were not even notable within the series (the only exceptions I expect being Seefa, Tarn Vedra and Hephaistros), and certainly are not notable outside the series. There are no external sources, nor are there likely to be. Fails on notability grounds, synthesis grounds, fancruft grounds and original research grounds. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to List of stars in Andromeda (which is what a user who types this in the search box is probably looking for), but add a hatnote pointing back to Andromeda (TV series)#Major star systems.—S Marshall T/C 00:28, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: it does not satisfy WP:GNG; all references are to the show episodes. A hatnote in List of stars in Andromeda may be WP:NAMB. I don't think that is needed. Praemonitus (talk) 04:10, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Lists of not-individually notable fictional elements belonging to a notable fictional franchise are fine, and we have plenty of precedent for keeping them. The nomination is fatally flawed by the non-policy-based arguments and assumptions about notability ("not even notable within the series"). Jclemens (talk) 04:24, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Lists-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 15:35, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, contrary to what the above user would have us believe, lists are not exempt from notability requirements: per WP:NLIST, "...a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources", which is not the case here since the only sources are primary and thus not independent. Also, random fictional elements do not magically become notable just because they belong to a notable work, per WP:NRVE. Also, WP:otherstuffexists is not a valid argument in AfD. The nomination is thus perfectly grounded in policy, and it's actually the "keep" comment above which appears fatally flawed.Folken de Fanel (talk) 11:14, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment if this is kept, it needs to be renamed, since it is not about the real-life topic of star systems in the Andromeda Galaxy or Andromeda Constellation. So it should be called List of Andromeda (TV series) star systems. -- 70.24.250.103 (talk) 07:57, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I am in agreement that all articles are subject to the notability criteria that they must both make a valid assertion to notability and that be supported by independent and reliable sources. The article has no sources, and the argument that we have other similar articles is not very strong. Certainly not enough for us to ignore that fact that it does not appear that this particular subject has gained the attention of any major publications where it has been the focus. Lastly a redirect seems inappropriate here since it makes no distinction that it's a television series and if it were to actually redirect it should redirect to List of stars in Andromeda.

Contested prod. Plot description of a film. No mention of production or critical review, or cast and crew. No indication that the film actually exists. In fact, no references whatsoever. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 23:07, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - This film has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" as required by Wikipedia:Notability (films). In fact, a quick search returned no relevant results at all. The article itself states "Friendship is Forever is a Future Romantic - Drama created and written by Daniel Pinto. Pinto hopes to direct the film, since he already knows what actors to be in the film." which is not only unsourced, but also conflicts with WP:NFF as: "films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have ommenced principal photography should not have their own articles, as budget issues, scripting issues and casting issues can interfere with a project well ahead of its intended filming date."

Another clue is that while the purported actors are notable enough, there is nothing to connect them to any project entitled Friendship is Forever.

- Delete per nom.--Dcheagle • talk • contribs 01:30, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Per WP:DEADLINK, the nominator's rationale for deletion is not valid because just because a publication is not on the Internet does not mean that its assertions no longer meet reliable source criteria. However, I created this article some time ago and in the process wrote the newspaper and asked them for other sources reviewing them. It seems to have been a small newspaper with a weak foundation and which has now gone defunct. In retrospect, I do not think this newspaper was ever notable by Wikipedia standards. Irrespective of the official link and references being dead, I say delete because the article's subject would not be notable even if the links were live.

- Speedy Delete as non notable business. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:02, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or as an alternative redirect to Atwater Village, Los Angeles, did not find significant coverage in multiple non-primary reliable sources. Subject has been mentioned in reliable source(s) but none of them give in depth information of subject. Therefore, although it has been around for over 50 years, and may be locally significant, it is not yet notable enough for the subject the be independently notable. Now if someone argues that the subject is locally notable, than a redirect to the community it is in is an option, but I am not convinced that it is notably locally at this time, and am willing to read reasoning towards that alternate outcome.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 23:33, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Flett exchange is not just another SREC auction company. As far as justification to delete or not. It is a keep. Flett is used by the US government as one of a couple of companies as the references for the SREC analysis (example here). National Renewable Energy Laboratory conducted detailed analysis of SREC and Flett is one of the only two companies with detailed analysis (the other is SRECTrade, a company in CA). See here. The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission, in its President's Budget 2012 had Flett as one of the 23 "Exempt Commercial Markets" with Flett being active between 2007 and 2009. In research, Flett settlement price is used as the benchmark such as by Center for Energy, Economic, and Environmental Policy, Rutgers, PennState, Pace Environmental Law Review, Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering, Princeton, Solar Alliance, etc. Also some examples of discussion related to Flett Exchange in the press Philly Inquirer, Star-Ledgers, NJ Spotlight, NJBIZ, NYTimes
- All of the above clearly demonstrate notability by coverage from multiple reliable and independent secondary sources.
- If the article "sounds" promotional, help edit it. Tone it down or something. There is no justification to delete an article just because it sounds promotional. The thing to do is to improve it to make it a good article. Z22 (talk) 04:56, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment After reviewing blocked user's comment, it has that the Flett Exchange also provides service to conduct auctions to sell SRECs. Unlike its competitor, SRECTrade, which conducts an auction once a month on a specific date part is promotional. The only reason was to differentiate their business models. When I reread it again, I also agree that it makes it like a promotional. So we should remove that part or change the wording. Also the user clearly missed the counter-promotional part: However, the value had still been limited due to low transaction levels. Other editors with fresh eyes are encouraged to edit and improve the article. Z22 (talk) 05:42, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted this as a G11, but it was challenged. Rather than argue, I bring it here, as usual for anything written in good faith; I think the author really believes this to be an encyclopedia-worthy article, though it's clear to me that the intent is to promote his book and blog. The nature of the sources with the references to the editors own book was by basis for the decision to use Speedy. There are a few scattered uses to various possible meanings of the term on Google, but almost all of the hits are to the editor's blog and reader posted reviews of his self-published book.

- I challenged the deletion for a number of reasons
1.An open source movement and a book are two different things. Just like the apache webserver software and the famous book "Apache: The Definitive Guide" are two different things. This page makes no metion or reference to the book. The external links at the bottom to the blog and the book were added by a wiki admin, not myself. They can easily be removed.
2.References in this discussion in other comments to "sales spam" are not accurate. There is no product. This is an open source sexual revolution movement with some notable members including Dossie Easton who has been working in this field since 1960s in San Francisco and who is a qualified family therapist with several decades of experience as well as other notable sex educators and sex positive speakers.
3.When you ask reliable third party sources, sorry but this is my first wiki page, for point number two above, if I produced say a video clip of Dossie saying that she is a member of this movement, would that be an example of a reliable third party source?
4. This movement is not only the world's first open source sexual revolutionary movement, it is also crowd sourced. This is the exact same model as wikipedia only within the sex positve realm. I am hoping for support from people like yourselves who truly understand the value of open source and crowd funding. Thank you. Pizza Lord (talk) 23:38, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think this paragraph from the article makes the point:
A person who is for example a sex educator who is sex positive and whose work is Sex 3.0 compatible is considered a sexolutionary (a contraction of the words 'sexual revolutionary'). A person who has read the book or even just the wiki page and follows the blog posts on the official site and helps to spread the word is a sexolutionary. A person who learns Sex 3.0 and talks to only their primary partner about it is still spreading the 3.0 revolution and is therefore considered a sexolutionary.
The article is trying to be part of this "sexolutionary" movement. Therefore it is promoting the ideas. You seem to be stuck on the notion that you can only promote something tangible, but the article is clearly promoting the movement. In addition there is no evidence that this movement has attained notability by Wikipedia standards. In conclusion, delete. LadyofShalott 02:35, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @LadyofShalott, No that paragraph simply explains the non-hierarchical nature of the movement. Real change has to start at the grass roots level and has to be energised by an army of empowered curators. As someone who is part of the wikipedia movemnt, I am suprised that I need to point this out. You are arguing against your own model. Pizza Lord (talk) 22:27, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet WP:GNG and the sources are not WP:RS. Although YouTube can be used as a reference in certain cases, these links only show commercials or brief appearances of the subject.

- Delete - We have evidence that she is a working model, but not necessarily one meeting wikipedia's inclusion criteria. This profile is the most substantial material available that cold be found.

The sources seem like an attempt to pass the subject off as notable when even if twice as many sources of this nature were provided, they still don't provide anything other than passing mentions and thus the subject fails WP:Notability (people).

These sources need to be reliable which you have been informed of on numerous occasions but still seem to overlook. Please find references that meet the WP:RS guidelines to establish notability. If "he is one of the top models," then there will be reliable sources talking about it. As it is, the sources fall short of the guidelines and many of them do not support the content that they are listed to support.

- Delete - Lacks the significant coverage needed to establish notability. As an actor, there is only one film role, and some stage work which has not garnered a lot of attention. The claim for being a top model the needs to beacked with reliable sources. Of the references in the article, the Baangalore Mirror article is an interview which is focused on "the Sketches". That constitutes the best sourcing for notability. The only other reliable source is the Deccan Chronicle which is a passing mention. My own searches turn up only more passing mentions like this which confirms he is a model, but fails to be anything more than a passing mention. -- Whpq (talk) 14:42, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One of many non-notable articles created by same account. There is not enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. There is one good reference, but there is no depth to the coverage and I would not consider the source reliable. The rest are either brief mentions, a press release, and an article written by a relative of the individual.

He has produced many stage drama and he is the producer of Bangalore's First Hindi Film Station. I have added few references to that film and i will add lot more latter. And i have plans to write other articles to support their roles. I have plans to write articles about places and other notable personalities of Pakistan too that are not yet present in wikipedia. I have read the GNG of Wikipedia. I have provided references too. If Wiki admin want me to add more references kindly let me know i will add more.

Non-notable singer. She doesn't appear to have had a song released (outside of her website/YouTube) or chart and hasn't won any major awards. I suspect that if it wasn't for her appearance in the competition to sing the Neighbours theme tune, this article wouldn't have been created. I think WP:ONEEVENT applies here. - JuneGloom Talk 16:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your reasoning. True this event is the biggest event to happen to Stephanie, though it is definitely an event worth merit. She is also becoming well-known and has a massive following. I myself have not added any other information/events about her as references are hard to found for these previous notable appearances/previous work she has undertaken. Example. Working with Jamie Redfern and appearing as a regular on his Television showcase on Foxtel. I believe the public would be very interested in finding further information about Stephanie Angelini especially on Wikipedia, as this information does not exist on her webpage or anywhere else on the internet at present. Only time will tell how noble she will become. Mick ang (talk) 16:50, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Given that she won the competition and will be heard every time Neighbours is shown, I would have thought that keeping something on her would make sense. If there isn't much beyond this competition/theme tune then perhaps merge somewhere else (e.g. here) until there's more to justify an article. --Michig (talk) 20:46, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect or Delete - Her having an award has nothing to do with establishing basic notability. That is the first thing that needs to be looked at. If she fails WP:GNG, then there is no need to find out if she has other music or if she won any awards. When looking for references, there are few that are WP:RS and they are all about her singing the theme song. If we assume that there is enough coverage, this would still make her notable for one event. As such, I would recommend including a sentence or two in the Neighbours article with a redirect. If that doesn't gain consensus, then simply delete as she fails general notability guidelines. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 17:28, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This is going to be a tricky nomination. I'm lumping three pages together because the notability for one will have a great effect on whether or not the others go as well. Here's the issue:
A few days ago I declined a PROD on John Ziegler (guitarist) because I noticed that he was a member of two bands that currently have articles on Wikipedia. Both articles were fairly rough and there was a question of notability for both of them. The bands in question are Pygmy Love Circus and Volto!. I managed to establish notability for PLC, but there was a serious question of notability for Volto!. They've performed and they're supposed to be releasing a CD, but I don't see where that's actually happened. Other than Carey being a member of the band, the group has largely flown under the radar. It'd be an easy delete, except that Morrison has a slight claim to notability in that he's performed in the background of several albums. I haven't really found any coverage for him or for Volto! in general other than trivial mentions at best. So rather than try to nominate these separately, I'm bringing them here to have it all straightened out. If we can establish that Morrison and Volto! have no notability, then Ziegler's article would be deletable since he wouldn't have the "a member of two notable bands" criteria of WP:MUSBIO. I'm open to suggestions, but this is such a mess of a group of articles that really, AfD is the only way to really sort out whether or not they should be kept or deleted. My argument is that while Morrison is somewhat prolific, he hasn't really received any coverage for his efforts and is pretty much a background player. Since I don't see him as independently notable enough for his own article, this means that Volto! would be deleted, which means that Ziegler would be as well. If someone can argue notability for Morrison, then Volto! and Ziegler would be kept by default because Volto! would then have two notable members (thus being notable) and Ziegler would be kept since he's technically a member of two notable bands, despite neither he nor Volto! gaining much or any independent coverage.

- I am also nominating the following related pages for the reasons stated above:
- John Ziegler (guitarist) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Volto! (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- If anyone can establish firm notability then I'm willing to work with you, but I had such a hard time finding RS for these pages that I'm honestly not sure they're really all that notable or would be kept on anything other than a technicality. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:05, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Volto! is already mentioned in the Danny Carey article, and while not meriting a separate article I think that should be redirected there. I can't find anything to suggest that Lance Morrison or John Ziegler should have encyclopedia articles, but Ziegler could be redirected to Pigmy Love Circus or deleted, with the entry at the John Ziegler disambiguation page sufficing. Lance Morrison should be deleted. --Michig (talk) 07:48, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect bandmembers, delete Volto!; I have not found non-primary significant coverage regarding the band Volto! therefore the subject fails WP:GNG. As for bandmembers, if the individuals do not receive significant coverage outside of the band, then the band is notable and the individual is not, which appears to be the case with the two individuals here. However, per WP:OUTCOMES#Music, the common outcome is a redirect to the notable band for non-notable bandmembers. If those individuals by themselves receive significant coverage then the redirects can be recreated as articles when those reliable sources are created by non-primary reliable sources.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:10, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect the band members if they have relevant and notable contributions to any band (obviously the ones other than Danny Carey). However I think that "Volto!" article also can be redirected to Danny Carey or Pigmy Love Circus article. User:Michig's proposal seems to be the best so far.

CommentWeak delete I'm erring towards 'delete' but this Real Estate news source suggests he was given a vacant studio, as a "celebrity artist" and he had starred in Real Housewives of New York. I'm surprised I can't find any better news coverage, all things considered. Sionk (talk) 11:35, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]- I'm going for 'delete' because this artist's claim to fame is unproven. Considering the size of New York and the number of publications that could've spotted Farrell, I think it is telling that only one reliable source has been found, in a real estate magazine. The long list of exhibitions is questionable - for example Zach Feuer Gallery has no mention of him, while the "exhibition" at Chelsea Museum seems to be a silent auction of one of his donated artworks. All seems 'smoke and mirrors', very tenuous! Maybe he's on the verge of success, but I don't think he passes WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST at the moment. Sionk (talk) 11:55, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep More references are added since the article was created last week.

- Note: Comment by IPS who's only edits are to this AFD.
- Comment Yes it is surprising that there are not that many print references to the artist despite the fact that he has been on such an active scene. Perhaps partly it is explained by the fact that he is a shy artist who has kept to his own world rather than interact with the press much. he is quite active on the social media where he has a large following but even there it is his fans who are commenting more than him. I am quite certain in time he would be more widely described in print but I tend to wish his page is kept because he is working to highlight social causes and he does seem to have a little more than the minimum required at least for the WP criteria. However I am relatively new to wikipedia and you veterans would do what is best I am certain to keep or delete the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.98.231.234 (talk) 12:23, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can't verify crucial pieces of information -- any solo art shows -- that would prove his notability. Why would that be? I am afraid that (a) it's completely made up, or (b) original research.

- Most Concerned Comment: The exhibition record of Brian Farrell is listed by him on his linkedin profile, http://linkedin.com/in/brianfarrellart, and also at the public websites that are mentioned in the wikipedia article. If this is a made up hoax it is most tragic and sad and undoubtedly the page should be deleted. I shall see if I can find someone to send the artist a message on the social media at linkedin or Facebook where he is likely to find the message quick to explain himself if he wishes to and considers it appropriate. If the exhibition record is a hoax it is most surprising especially coming from a Public TV figure and a very sad commentary on the state of morality in the world today. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.98.228.75 (talk) 04:02, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The CV has been edited and shortened several times with many of my shows from earlier in the career and work in collections being deleted. Events, shows and awards from the present day that have been deemed "not relevant or important enough" have been deleted. Works that were in collections in the past may no longer be documented nor in the collection. Publications, press, interviews and a significant amount information has been and continues to be removed from the internet in order to update my present art career. The CV, as with the art itself, is an ever-changing work in progress. I do participate in several, worthy, charitable events. I do not give many interviews. I do not generally comment on public opinion. I do not enter into discussions. I do use the tools of social media as does any other well informed person of the community in which I reside. The present artworks and information are available on my site, which I will decline to promote here.

The Daily Telegraph calls him "one of the most influential figures in hip hop this side of the Atlantic, as well as a pioneer of the UK urban scene"[4], the Independent says "For nearly 20 years he has been the undisputed figurehead of UK rap"[5].

- Speedy keep. Nomination does not state a ground for deletion, and notability is obvious. Specifically addressing the nominator's expressed concern, the subject's age and background seem to be reasonably sourced; but if there are bona fide issues about certain points, those should be addressed on the article's talk page, not here at AfD.--Arxiloxos (talk) 16:45, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your response, very true. I'm not for one second contesting Westwood's legacy, can we keep the page but can we only keep confirmed facts. Its a fact he's done a show on Radio since 1994, its a fact he has been DJin since the mid 80's, he himself has confirmed all this. But things like his age and background are not public knowledge, all the articles speculate on these matters. How can we edit the page to remove the un-sourced claims like suggested above? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Officialmm82 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- As already stated above, the article's talk page is the place to raise such concerns. As you'll see there, the subject's age was discussed extensively in 2007, and the consensus at that time appears to have been that the 1957 birth year is well-supported. I would also suggest that you have a look at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability to better understand Wikipedia's criteria for substantiating content.--Arxiloxos (talk) 17:34, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are no independent sources cited, and the article provides no evidence that the subject satisfies either the general notability guidelines or the guidelines on notability of academics. My general web searches produced Wikipedia, Twitter, pages on the web sites of various organisations that he has worked for or with (such as the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer and University Hospitals Leuven), papers by him not about him, etc. Google Scholar found papers by him, but nothing about him. The nearest thing I found to independent coverage was an interview which appears to have been part of the 2010 annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, which someone has uploaded to YouTube. The author of the article, User:Patrick Schöffski, removed a PROD without any explanation.

- That was unnecessarily snippy and also less helpful than it could have been. There's nothing "clear" about that at all. The PROF criteria are dreadfully complex and you've presented no evidence that the index score you give is in line with the PROF guidelines on what to exclude. Furthermore, PROF is a guideline and is trumped by policy, such the daddy of them all, V. So if you'd like to persuade people to agree with you, please will you expand on your comment without taking a pop at the nominator, who has acted in good faith and has explicitly said that they have fulfilled BEFORE. It would be nice if you'd apologise to James. --Dweller (talk) 08:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I apologise to James if James wants an apology. The WP:Prof guidelines have been extensively debated by many people in the past on its talk page, particularly WP:Prof#C1, see also Citation index and h-index. I have contributed to those debates. The guidelines seem clear to those who use them regularly. The nominator says "Google Scholar found papers by him, but nothing about him". This indicates a lack of understanding of the requirements of WP:Prof which says "The most typical way of satisfying Criterion 1 is to show that the academic has been an author of highly cited academic work – either several extremely highly cited scholarly publications or a substantial number of scholarly publications with significant citation rates." Google Scholar shows how many scientists have cited a person's papers. It shows that the subject's first paper in the list has been cited by 332 other workers. If all the other cites are added it will come to thousands. Based on past precedent in this field on the numbers establishing precedent for notability (which appears to have provoked little dissent), [19] there is here a distinctly clear pass of WP:Prof#C1. If people find the PROF criteria to be dreadfully complex then perhaps they should postpone editing in the area until they have had the time to develop a greater understanding of them. Sorry to sound "snippy" but this misunderstanding of the WP:Prof policy guidelines is one that comes up repeatedly in this area. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:07, 24 April 2013 (UTC).[reply]
- Keep. WoS concurs with GS, with a citation list of 331, 260, 232, .... (h-index 36, "National Academy" territory, according to Hirsch) and MS-academic shows >1000 total citations. It is true that those of us who lurk here regularly have a roughly consensus view of the commonly-used test WP:PROF #1: either having solved individual high-profile problems (like ones that have their own WP pages) or having a general body of research that is highly cited collectively, i.e. hundreds of citations or a bibliometric indicator of such, e.g. h-index of at least 10 to 15. There is a subtle context regarding WP:V here in that, even if no other sources about a subject can be found, the published papers themselves have enough WP:V to at least stub an article, e.g. place of employment, title, professional area, etc. – this caveat is in the "notes" of WP:PROF. Schöffski very obviously passes the notability test. In cases like this, it is not uncommon for nom to withdraw the AfD, so that it can be closed quickly.

Article was created by an WP:SPA advertising-only account with With the same name (Jlswarner (talk · contribs)) with no other edits other than related to Joe Warner. Has links but Relies on references to press releases, promotional book sellers and merely trivial coverage. Its nothing more than Self-promotion and product placement, which wikipedia is WP:NOT.

- Keep Per failed first nomination, and lack of good faith on the part of the nominator for failing to attempt to find alternative solutions to deletion. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:57, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. EJ, the first nomination "failed" because the nominator submitted multiple season article from multiple teams in a single AfD, and multiple AfD participants felt that the articles should be considered individually, not en masse. That sort of "no consensus" situation practically invites a resubmission of the articles individually; this is not a "bad faith" AfD given the circumstances. I urge you to reconsider your choice of words: the AfD nominator has done absolutely nothing wrong in resubmitting this article individually. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:40, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Dirtlawyer, my main complaint here is that the nominator has continued to rush to AfD without attempting to dialogue at either my talk page, WP:CFB, or on any of the talk pages of the individual articles. I would be willing to consider a merge to a List of Buffalo State Bengals football seasons article, or as sub-sections of the main Buffalo State Bengals football article. The nominator has made no attempt to explore any other alternative solutions besides deletion. Certainly between the first and second nominations, there should have been an attempt to dialogue about finding an alternative solution to these articles. That's just common courtesy. Ejgreen77 (talk) 18:03, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Understood, EJ, and maybe he should have, but it's not required. Arguably, that dialogue takes place during the AfD, and in the case of CFB articles and lists, it's usually refereed by other regular CFB editors. In this case, I would urge you to consider creating a season-decade article or something similar to combine these Buffalo State seasons per WP:CFBSEASON. I would support keeping that per established WikiProject CFB policy and precedent. Regards, Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 18:15, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Ejgreen77, I understand your concerns, and I also agree with much of Dirtlawyer's comments. I did not intend to "rush" through the deletion process; indeed, roughly three months have passed since the first AfD. The closing admin for the first AfD invited re-nomination of individual articles, which I did here. The AfD discussions are open to all, including WikiProject CFB, yourself, and other interested users. Here we can discuss a wide variety of options, not only deletion. Even if some of the discussions result in deletion, that won't stop you from creating new articles that combine individual seasons (by decade, for example, as per WP:CFBSEASON).

- Delete. This article is about a non-notable single season of a minor college football program, and there is insufficient in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources to establish the subject's notability per WP:GNG. In such event, the only alternative to deletion is to combine this season with others for the same team by decade, coaching tenure, or other logical grouping, per WP:CFBSEASON. I respectfully request the article creator propose some combination/merge consistent with the practices of WP:CFBSEASON; otherwise, the only alternative is deletion.

- Delete Does not appear to pass WP:GNG based on my search of Google news archive. See results here. St. Norbert is a Division III program (the lowest level in the NCAA hierarchy), and such teams generally do not get a lot of coverage in mainstream, independent media sources. A search of google news archive indicates that the St. Norbert football program does get some coverage in Milwaukee (and, to a lesser extent, Chicago) newspapers. If someone could demonstrate that there is substantial coverage of the 2010 team, I'd reconsider my "delete" vote. Separately, the article in its current form is more in the nature of an almanac entry than an encyclopedia article.

The WP:CFB precedent and WP:CFBSEASON WikiProject policy are clear: in the absence of meaningful coverage (i.e. not routine, not trivial) in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability standards per WP:GNG, single CFB seasons for minor programs do not get anything like an "automatic pass." Frankly, it's not supposed to be automatic for Division I FBS programs, either. We do make exceptions for non-notable seasons when they are combined with other seasons by decade, coaching tenure or some other logical and coherent grouping. If the article creator wants to have this article userfied so that he can work on expanding to a full decade of seasons (e.g. 2000-09), I would support that in keeping with established WP:CFB precedent.

- Comment. EJ, the first nomination "failed" because the nominator submitted multiple season article from multiple teams in a single AfD, and multiple AfD participants felt that the articles should be considered individually, not en masse. That sort of "no consensus" situation practically invites a resubmission of the articles individually; this is not a "bad faith" AfD given the circumstances. I urge you to reconsider your choice of words: the AfD nominator has done absolutely nothing wrong in resubmitting this article individually. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:39, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Dirtlawyer, my main complaint here is that the nominator has continued to rush to AfD without attempting to dialogue at either my talk page, WP:CFB, or on any of the talk pages of the individual articles. I would be willing to consider a merge to a List of St. Norbert Green Knights football seasons article, or as sub-sections of the main St. Norbert Green Knights football article. The nominator has made no attempt to explore any other alternative solutions besides deletion. Certainly between the first and second nominations, there should have been an attempt to dialogue about finding an alternative solution to these articles. That's just common courtesy.

The result was merge somewhere. What I see here (other than a lot of personal acrimony that has no place in such a discussion) is a consensus that this probably does not merit a stand-alone article. However, there does not seem to be a consensus on how to deal with that issue as several different options are presented and none of them seems to have broad support. (no offense, but I would also note that "delete and merge" doesn't make a lot of sense, how can you merge something that's already been deleted?) I will tag the article as needing a merge and open the relevant talk page discussion so that this discrepancy can be resolved. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:38, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to James_Bond_in_film#Global_James_Bond_Day. I waffled between redirecting this to a subsection in the main film series page or specifically to Skyfall (since this was a rather obvious way of promoting the film since it released the following month), but since this focused on the series as a whole I added it to the film page. Worth noting on the film page? Sure. Worthy of its own article? At this point, no. If it's held again this year and if it gets enough coverage, I'd argue it could merit its own article at that point. But not until then. Until that point this is just a marketing event that got a small amount of coverage, but not enough to show that it was a major event.

Unscintillating (talk) 15:43, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you're confusing a few things here (as much as some of the sources did). Yes, it was the anniversary year, but 99% of what you have mentioned has nothing to do with global JB day. Global JB day was one part of the anniversary. It was unconnected to MOMA, the documentary or the Christie's auction. - SchroCat (talk) 16:16, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- (edit conflict) The reliable sources say otherwise. Your statistic of "99%" shows your continuing lack of objectivity.

Lazy-arsed journalism using an incorrect short-hand term does not make for a reliable source. Do either MOMA or Christie's refer to their events being part of "Global JB Day"?

"the exact term, "Global James Bond Day" they are either not reliable, or they are talking about an unrelated 50th James Bond anniversary event or film release occurring on 5 October 2012?" Again, you're mixing up the overall fiftieth anniversary over the course of the year and one specific day on which a small number of events happened. Thise included the Academy music event and a few others, but have nothing to do with the documentary, auction, MOMA event etc, etc. I'm not sure if you're accidentally confusing the two or not, but we are not talking about the overall fiftieth anniversary, but whether an article called "Global James Bond Day" should exist or not. "Global James Bond Day" was a on-off day, a PR exercise by the Bond franchise owners. Does that, in itself, need an article? (Please try not to introduce more material related to the general course of events over the year, but simply matters relating to that day. - SchroCat (talk) 18:20, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- One of the four references remaining in the article is [21] . As per our article on NY Daily News, this paper is the 4th most-circulated paper in the US and has won ten Pulitzer prizes. The title of this article (emphasis added) is "Global James Bond Day: Worldwide 007 celebration set for October 5th" and the subtitle is "Bond events include a film retrospective from the Museum of Modern Art in New York and a music night from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences." According to you, the events of this article "have nothing to do with...MOMA event..." And above you say, "Global JB day was one part of the anniversary. It was unconnected to MOMA..." The NY Daily News goes on to say (emphasis added) "Other Global James Bond Day events will include the release of a new documentary “Everything or Nothing: The Untold Story of 007,” a Bond memorabilia auction for twelve charities, a worldwide survey to determine favorite Bond films by country and an exhibition “Designing 007: 50 Years of Bond Style” at the Toronto International Film Festival."

- As per the post I made at 19:23 on 27 April 2013 above, the source lists the auction as associated with the day, and your point that the auction catalog does not in turn list the day doesn't mean that a reliable source has not already made the connection.

- Keep The main concerns raised in this AfD are notability, WP:PROMOTE, and unclear topic. This diff establishes by WP:CONSENSUS that the topic is notable, so to the extent that this AfD was brought to look at notability, it is an end-run around discussion which is required by WP:CONSENSUS. I agree with the existing consensus at the article that this topic passes WP:GNG. There is also the issue of WP:EVENT notability, but this is refuted by several avenues. (1) The MOMA has identified that this event was previously recognized on the 25th anniversary. (2) Even if we stipulate that WP:EVENT fails, James Bond in film currently has more than 380 references, so a spin-off article would be proper. (3) Thirdly, the film release as part of this event is not itself an event, and IMO this is the proper place in the encyclopedia to provide more detail about the film. Regarding unclear topic, the argument that this topic is only the promotional parts of the events that occurred on this day merely serves the effort to argue this topic is part of WP:NOT under WP:PROMOTE. In fact, I see no good reason not to at least consider the event at the Macau Gaming Lounge and Bar in Jamaica as reported in the Jamaica Gleaner, where Jamaica is historically significant to James Bond, and where the article reports, "...October 5 is being celebrated globally as James Bond Day." I recommend that the topic be retitled "James Bond Day", as per the Jamaica article, to clarify the topic. As for WP:PROMOTE, the many organizations and media that participated or reported; such as MOMA, Christies, the Oscar academy, telegraph.co.uk, guardian.co.uk, and the NY Daily News; did not do so to promote Eon.

- Comment - I would like to vote delete, because it is promotional and an advertisement shouldn't have a day named after it. This article doesn't deserve its own page, but it may have notability. [Wikipedia:NOTADVERTISING#ADVERTISING]. While this may not count: it may be notable, but it's not notable enough to have its own day named after it. The article subject is only notable, because of the production company behind it.
It is also improper to remove citations from an article, to push deletion.This article should be deleted or merged, regardless of notability. Sidelight12 Talk 03:11, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Absolutely no-one has removed citations to "push for deletion", and I resent the implication here. To clarify, Tokyogirl79 tweaked the article to include the following:
- "Global James Bond Day was an event held on October 5, 2012 by Eon Productions at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.[1]"
- This is utterly erroneous and misleading, so I tweaked the wording to read
- "Global James Bond Day was a global event held on 5 October 2012 by Eon Productions."
- The citation was taken out in the process because what was written was supported by the next citation, from the NY Daily News and the edit summary of "It was not a one-off in one location" was the rationale behind it. It should be unneccessary to remind you of WP:AGF in the actions of others, especially when removing errors. - SchroCat (talk) 08:08, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry SchroCat, and Tokyogirl79. Someone mentioned that sources were removed. I did notice, on my own, that sources got moved into the text from the references section, which is fine.

- Actually, if you do the maths properly, and try and assume just a little bit of good faith along the lines, there were six unconnected sources which had been dropped into the sources section: there were no inline citations to connect the text with those sources. Tokyogirl79 (talk · contribs), in this edit reduced it to four inline citations, having ensured that what was in the text was properly supported, and then added a fifth in a subsequent edit. As I have already pointed out, in order to correct an error that Tokyogirl79 introduced, I edited the first sentence to ensure what was there was correct. As the dispute here is not over the fact that there are no sources, but on entirely different grounds, your constant bad faith attitude and snide accusations here are crossing any normal or rational lines of interaction.

- Merge into the page for the team, or (if there are a large number of seasons) into a single page on all seasons of this team. bd2412 T 00:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- Delete Does not appear to pass WP:GNG based on my search of google news archive. See results here. St. Norbert is a Division III program (the lowest level in the NCAA hierarchy), and such teams generally do not get a lot of coverage in mainstream, independent media sources. A search of google news archive indicates that the St. Norbert football program does get some coverage in Milwaukee (and, to a lesser extent, Chicago) newspapers. If someone could demonstrate that there is substantial coverage of the 2008 team, I'd reconsider my "delete" vote. Separately, the article in its current form is more in the nature of an almanac entry than an encyclopedia article. The article merely repeats the information already published on the on-line sports almanac, college football reference.com. The existing article on St. Norbert Green Knights football is also in poor shape and could use substantial work. Cbl62 (talk) 19:24, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I concur with Cbl's comment immediately above: this is a non-notable season for a minor college football program. The WP:CFB precedents are clear: in the absence of meaningful coverage (i.e. not routine, not trivial) in multiple, independent, reliable sources to satisfy the general notability standards per WP:GNG, single CFB seasons for minor programs do not get anything like an "automatic pass." And it's not supposed to be automatic for Division I FBS programs, either. We do make exceptions for non-notable seasons when they are combined with other seasons by decade, coaching tenure or some other logical and coherent grouping. If the article creator wants to have this article userfied so that he can work on expanding to a full decade of seasons (e.g. 2000-09), I would support that in keeping with established WP:CFB precedent.

- Keep Per failed first nomination, and lack of good faith on the part of the nominator for failing to attempt to find alternative solutions to deletion. Ejgreen77 (talk) 15:56, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. EJ, the first nomination "failed" because the nominator submitted multiple season article from multiple teams in a single AfD, and multiple AfD participants felt that the articles should be considered individually, not en masse. That sort of "no consensus" situation practically invites a resubmission of the articles individually; this is not a "bad faith" AfD given the circumstances. I urge you to reconsider your choice of words: the AfD nominator has done absolutely nothing wrong in resubmitting this article individually.
- FYI, it's not up to the nominator to "find alternative solutions to deletion," but rather to the article creator and those AfD participants who seek to retain the article content, in whole or in part. In the case of non-notable CFB seasons, the alternatives are well known and widely understood among WP:CFB participants; please see WP:CFBSEASON. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:49, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Dirtlawyer, my main complaint here is that the nominator has continued to rush to AfD without attempting to dialogue at either my talk page, WP:CFB, or on any of the talk pages of the individual articles. I would be willing to consider a merge to a List of St. Norbert Green Knights football seasons article, or as sub-sections of the main St. Norbert Green Knights football article. The nominator has made no attempt to explore any other alternative solutions besides deletion. Certainly between the first and second nominations, there should have been an attempt to dialogue about finding an alternative solution to these articles. That's just common courtesy.

- When you were a CEO Fiddle Faddle, did The Age run a major article on your appointment as they did on Bush's appointment? Did you propose a debt-for-equity deal that caught the attention of The Herald-Sun in a major news article. When the "sporting thing he headed up" was in the news the The 7.30 Report thought it was notable enough to interview him on a nationally broadcast program. The Australian Financial Review is the nearest we come to in this country of the "independent third party source" that Stuart Yeates is looking for in journalism and they write of, or about, Bush on 21 occasions in the last 12 months. You may not be notable Fiddle Faddle but Peter Bush looks to be in my eyes.

Rajiv Jain
[edit]Greetings,
I am a frequent user of Wikipedia since 1st December 2009 when I need to research on people, practices, places and things. I would like to start by sharing my deep appreciation for the great work that others like you and yourself are doing to maintain the quality and accuracy of articles on Wikipedia.
While I appreciate the continuous necessity to review the contents on your pages, I was unpleasantly surprised to see Mr. Rajiv Jain (cinematographer) nominated for deletion from your esteemed pages.
I request you to kindly peruse through what I have enumerated below and then make an informed decision on the way forward on this page and his presence there.
Towards this attempt, I would like to share with you a few reasons why I believe that Mr. Rajiv Jain’s candidature befits his presence on Wikipedia.
1. Below mentioned are a few sources that will point out his contributions to Indian cinema
a. http ://www.gomolo.com/about-rajiv-jain/16993
b. http://www.ranker.com/list/movies-with-cinematography-by-rajiv-jain/reference
c. http:// www.gomolo.com/about-rajiv-jain/16993
d. http://movie-stars.us/filmography/rajiv%20jain.aspx
e. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1203010/
2. I have edited this page and have removed links to his website, interviews, articles or blog (which some have commented to have been created personally by himself)
3. IMDB (internet Movie Database) is a credible site which enumerates the work of notable contributors and related cinema releases. I request you to kindly credit them with the professional respect and consideration that one would give to honourable peers. While IMDB may not equate to notability or nomination to a celebrity club, it can undoubtedly be considered as the most reliable data base on films and key contributors to the industry
4. As a regular user of Wikipedia, I can assure you of the presence of many other names that would earn lower eligibility to be on the coveted Wikipedia pages. These less than worthy nominations are present from all industries viz; politics, international relations, the corporate world, Bollywood and more importantly, Indian cinematographers. I would of course refrain from being rude enough to mention their names or nominate them for deletion. In the event you do proceed with your decision to do away with Mr. Jain’s presence on your pages, I would certainly ask you to peruse through the following link and proceed with appropriate due diligence: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Indian_cinematographers
5. I request you to kindly Google about him using ‘RAJEEV JAIN CINEMATOGRAPHER’ as keywords for your search. I assure you that you will be able to read a lot of information about him in the form of write ups, interviews, videos on You tube, his working stills etcetera
6. Mr. Jain has worked with notablable film Producers / Directors like like Aziz Mirza, Chandrakant Kulkarni, Ketan Mehta, Makrand Deshpande, Late Mukul S. Anand, Nitin Chandrakant Desai, Rajiv Rai, Satish Kaushik, Shyam Benegal, Subhash Ghai and Wanuri Kahiu, who are themselves present on Wikipedia.
7. While I have edited his page to only include professional essentials, I would like to point out that the contents on his page were not very different from the content on the Wikipedia pages of other cinematographers
a. I do not think it will be criminal to mention his wife and daughters’ names on his page as a person’s success at work is fuelled by the support, faith and love of his family. Besides, many other cinematographers have their spousal and children’s details mentioned on their pages.
i. His daughter Abigail Jain is a popular Indian television actor who has a Wikipedia page to herself.
ii. His daughter Kimberly also had a Wikipedia page, which has now been discontinued as she has taken a brief brake to complete her high school education
8. While I appreciate the spirit behind the freedom available to anyone to nominate personalities / articles for deletion from Wikipedia, I would like to share a recommendation that you also put in place a method to control nominations that are made with mala fide intent (of which I am certain is this case) I realise that my notes and comments are lengthy and therefore appreciate your time and patience to read through it. I look forward to an informed decision on the matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maniksh (talk • contribs) 19:36, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Since you also posted this on my talk page, I'll respond here. The references you list, IMDb and other filmography database entries don't establish notability. Notability is not inherited by being related to notable people or working alongside notable people. I'm not seeing non-trivial reliable source coverage for Rajiv Jain. The best hope for notability appears to be WP:CREATIVE. What reliable sources have commented on this award-winning filmmaker's work? • Gene93k (talk) 20:11, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This comment "...nominations that are made with mala fide intent (of which I am certain is this case" is an ad hominem attack and must be retracted and, ideally, apologised for. To me such things invalidate any other argument put forward. The attack has also been distributed on every talk page the editor could find that was remotely connected with this deletion discussion.

- As per the request for atleast two reliable sources of write ups / interviews, I have provided details of a few pertaining to Rajiv Jain, the cinematographer. I request you to kindly consider / refer / peruse through them during your decision making process.
While surfing for articles on him, I have also realised that there are numerous articles / interviews on him, some of which refer to him as ‘Rajeev Jain’. While I realise the time constraint that you and other decision makers continuously face, I would like to request you to kindly type ‘Rajiv Jain cinematographer’ as key words to find interviews on cameras and in magazines and articles about him and his work. While perusing through his old Wikipedia page, I did not think any part of it appeared as an advertisement although it must be said that a lot of his interns who have worked with him have written extempore about him and provided links to his works / interviews. I have of course edited those pieces as I had shared with you in my last note. I also thought that those write ups etc were very informative on cinmatographic content such lighting, camera work etcetra and believe that this is extremely useful, informative content that could educate and update people with interest in this area of work. The details of reliable sources of information on him are as follows 1. * Title: Cine Blitz, Volume 25, Issue 1 • Bibliographic information and Product Details: o Binding: Trade Paper o Category: Books o Country of origin: USA o Digitized: 24 Jul 2008 o Edition: 1999 o Format: Paperback, softback o International Standard Book Number: A100007818 o Language: English o Length: 56 pages o List price: $21.16 o Original from: The University of Virginia o Publication Date: 2010-09-15 o Publisher: Blitz Publications and VJM Media Pvt.

Weak delete. Keep. The subject did not receive any major college awards, and never played in a major professional football league, and therefore does not rate a presumption of notability per WP:NCOLLATH or WP:NGRIDIRON. While I found numerous hits in a Google News Archive search, the overwhelming majority of those articles are routine coverage or trivial mentions from one of the two hometown newspapers that cover University of Minnesota sports. If we stretch the general notability guidelines to say that such routine coverage in the hometown papers qualifies as in-depth coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources, then virtually every college quarterback in America, regardless of mediocre accomplishments or the lack of major awards or honors, should be given a presumption of notability. Here's hoping we don't stitch another Frankenstein monster of GNG notability out of a collection of relatively insignificant coverage in a university's hometown newspapers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:48, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Changing vote in light of Cbl62's research below. For the record, I note that 16 of the listed sources are from two newspapers, the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, both of which are also the University of Minnesota's hometown newspapers. Multiple references from a single source count as one source for notability purposes. Having said that, I trust Cbl's judgment (and proven track record) with regard to other listed sources that I cannot view because they are off-line or behind website paywalls. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Google news archive turns up many articles about Cole from major metropolitan daily newspapers, including St. Paul Pioneer Press (32nd largest newspaper in USA by circulation), Minneapolis Star Tribune (17th largest newspaper in USA by circulation), The Oregonian (19th largest newspaper in USA by circulation), and The Arizona Republic (14th largest newspaper in USA by circulation). Will try to list several of the best examples, if time permits tomorrow. But these do not constitute routine coverage in small town papers. They are feature stories in some of the largest newspapers in the country. As a starting QB for a Big Ten team (for parts of the 2000 and 2001 seasons), it is not surprising that he got a lot of coverage, more than enough to pass WP:GNG.

Comment - Seems to be marked for deletion by an admin only on the basis that it is self-published. Extremely positive amazon reviews suggest that this book is an important transformational text in the area of human sexual psychology.
The book already hit number one on amazon during the 5 day promo period (screenshot on the right)
This book is currently the inspiration of a movie that is currently being made (pre-production stage) in San Francisco and Los Angeles featuring number sex positive authors and speakers including Chris Ryan (coauthor of Sex At Dawn), Dossie Easton (author of Ethical Slut) and many more.
Trailer, kickstarter page and offical movie website are all due to be launched in the next 3 to 4 weeks and are set to focus on the open-source nature of Sex 3.0 as a movement (not Sex 3.0 the book - these are 2 different things) AND NOT THE BOOK. The free and open-source nature of the movement is the only thing I have written about on wikipedia.
I also have to comment that I am dismayed that I have been given a final warning for using wikipedia to promote a book when this page (the book promotion page) was created by wikipedia admins and not me. The link to the amazon page for the book was created by wiki admins and not me and I am being threatened with a ban as a result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pizza Lord (talk • contribs) 05:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well... the thing is that Amazon rankings don't matter on Wikipedia. Selling well on any format only increases the chances that the book will actually get coverage. It's not a guarantee and we've had people who have had books achieve the New York Times Bestseller lists, yet those books still don't pass notability guidelines. In this particular instance the book hit the Amazon list because it was free. That definitely doesn't help give the notability because it's fairly common for people to load up on free books on Amazon. As far as it becoming a movie, that in itself doesn't mean that the book is notable. It just means that there might be a movie. Even if it does get made, that doesn't guarantee notability. If the movie gets made and becomes notable, then it could help extend notability. Now when it comes to the book spawning a movement, you'd have to prove that it's a notable movement by showing coverage in reliable sources. That's really the crux of a notability argument on Wikipedia: can you prove that the book is notable by providing sources that are reliable? By this I mean that the sources aren't non-notable blogs, sources released by the author or anyone representing him, or routine announcements or database entries. I'll see what I can find, but I'll be honest and say that the book being self-published means that it's less likely that there will be any sources. Sometimes self-published books can achieve notability, but it's uncommon. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:35, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Nevermind, I see that Lugia2453 turned your article about the movement into an article about the book and added the Amazon link. Lugia is not an admin. Turning an article about the movement into one about the book was not unreasonable, but the Amazon link should never have been added. LadyofShalott 11:42, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Here's the problem: this book hasn't received any real coverage in what Wikipedia would consider to be a reliable source and I can't really find anything that would back up the claims of the book spawning a movement or inspiring a movie. Most of what I found comprised of non-usable blog reviews, primary sources, junk hits, and a few merchant sources. Nothing that would show notability. Nothing about this is notable at this point in time. Now don't get upset- this doesn't mean that the idea of the book is bad or that the movement can't one day gain notability. It just means that this isn't notable per Wikipedia. The big issue here is that you've created two pages about a non-notable movement, one of which was deleted due to it sounding very promotional in tone. An article doesn't have to be actively asking for money for a physical product in order to sound like it's promoting something. What doesn't help your case out any is that at one point both articles were pretty much the same, which kind of backs up the idea that this was more about using Wikipedia as a platform to promote the movement. Whether you meant to do this or not, the book and the movement are not notable and this is going to be a delete as far as I'm concerned. I would highly recommend not attempting to re-upload anything about this movement on Wikipedia, as that would likely get you blocked. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:47, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Ahmed Abukhater. A search quickly shows that this book hasn't even released yet and definitely has not had the coverage necessary to pass notability guidelines before its official release. The thing about textbooks and scholarly works is that it's not really a guarantee that they'll pass. These things either gain a ton of coverage and accolades or (more normally) they never gain the amount of coverage necessary to pass notability guidelines. This isn't a slur against Abukhater- there are a lot of very, very brilliant people who write very good books that never gain enough attention to establish notability. I think that it's feasible enough to redirect to his article, although I'll note that his page looks like it could use some cleaning in general. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:30, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Boy do I remember that AfD. The thing is, it was established that none of the previous sources were enough to pass notability guidelines. The big issue was that there was a consensus the awards weren't enough to show notability and really, that's all that she really had to argue notability with. It doesn't help that the article's original prose (which was sort of promotional in nature) was almost identical to the version uploaded by the publisher that edited under a different username. I'll be honest in saying that I suspect that this is the same editor under a different username. As long as somewhere they stated that they are the same person and that they have a conflict of interest in being the publisher, they technically aren't doing anything wrong. It's heavily discouraged, especially given how the last AfD ran, but as long as someone with a COI can edit neutrally it isn't against any rules. In any case, here's a rundown of the sources currently on the article, followed by the links in the external links section:

- The issue is still the same. All that Bennett has going for her is that she's won a few competitions that never seem to have gained any coverage. She hasn't really gained any true notice since the AfD closed last year. I have no true issue with this being userfied again, but I would emphasize that it should be run through an experienced editor before getting posted to the mainspace. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:04, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have read through the history of these attempts to remove the entry on Eleanor Bennett and find it strange if not actually sinister, especially as it seems to be the same two or three editors who have been pursuing the case relentlessly. Ms Bennett is by far the most outstanding young photographer working in the UK at the moment, with an unsurpassed record of competition and exhibition successes and publication credits, including her current title of Young Environmental Photographer of the Year and pictures currently on exhibit at the Royal Geographical Society building in Kensington Gore, inclusion in the National Geographic and Airbus ‘See the Bigger Picture’ global touring exhibition in 2010, publication in major newspapers such as The Guardian and Telegraph, and contribution of cover pictures to journals of the status of The British Journal of Psychiatry. How would it be possible for her to have better credentials as a photographer than these? Although I am not normally a believer in conspiracy theories I find myself wondering if there is a hidden agenda here and the motivations of the people crying for her exclusion are not entirely pure.
I think it would be ridiculous if Wikipedia were to have no entry on the country's best known and most prolific and successful young photographer and can't understand the reasoning of those who feel that it shouldn't. It's beginning to look as if this matter will have to go for adjudication to somebody a bit more senior in the Wikipedia hierarchy without any axe to grind. The proceedings here are beginning to look very unsavoury. Coriander2 (talk) 09:10, 23 April 2013 (UTC) — Coriander2 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- I wouldn't say it's sinister. I'm just in the habit of looking through the AfD list and saw that this came up on the list. As far as the other editors' reasons, I would say that they likely kept a lookout for variations on the name, given how sharp the conversations got in the last AfD. That's not uncommon and doesn't mean that they have a personal vendetta against Bennett. Considering that the last AfD was the way it was, it stands to figure that I'd remember it. In any case, if you want to show that she passes notability guidelines, you'd have to show that she's received in-depth coverage. That's really the big thing here: she hasn't received any such coverage that would show that she passes notability guidelines. Several people in the last AfD were actually long-term Wikipedia editors (such as User:DGG) and they'd voted against the article given the same awards that were here last time. The consensus was that the awards weren't notable enough to warrant keeping the article on their basis alone and given that not much has changed in the few months since the last AfD, I'm inclined to agree with them. The claim that she's the "country's best known and most prolific and successful young photographer" would have to be backed up by reliable sources that affirm that she is. If you can show those reliable sources and have them be sources that are reliable per Wikipedia, then I'd be more than happy to change my vote. Her being on exhibition is good, but exhibitions can only give notability per WP:ARTIST if it "has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums". Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:32, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, indeed there is an agenda. I.e. to go by third party sources that say something about the person. She might well be well-known, but if it is only by word of mouth this written encyclopaedia is incapable to deal with such occurrence. It is its shortfall, thereby given strength to written documents. Mootros (talk) 15:29, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I would request that you hold off any further action for a few days to give me time to put together a detailed case for mediation and if that is unsuccessful possible arbitration. Would seven days be an acceptable period? I need to examine the Wikipedia criteria carefully and construct a clear case. Coriander2 (talk) 15:25, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Mediation and/or arbitration are not relevant to the appropriateness of the article on Wikipedia, more time will not change that. However, AfDs typically run for at least seven days; nothing will happen to the article before then. - SudoGhost 22:07, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Suggestion The subject seems to be trying too hard. There are more sources to be found such as Northern Arts; Limerence; HUF but they all seem rather promotional and so it's not clear how independent they are. Anyway, I suggest that the subject create a user page on Wikipedia and donate some photographs to the project. Per WP:USER, limited autobiographical content is permitted — see User:DGG for an example of a respectable user telling us something about himself. As the subject seems to be talented and keen to exhibit their work, they might try contributing some photos and seeing whether they are good enough to be featured. By engaging with the project in this way, the subject will better understand it and we may get some good photos out of it. The page in question here could be userfied on that account pending further development. Warden (talk) 10:24, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you mean by saying that 'the subject seems to be trying too hard'. As far as I know we haven't heard at all from the subject herself. Or do you mean that she shouldn't make herself available for interview by publications that Wikipedia doesn't consider worthy? The simple fact is that the subject has supplied artwork, including cover art, to a staggering number of magazines and book publishers, most of them too small to interest Wikipedia, but collectively it's an amazing accomplishment and validation of her work. The small press knows that they can rely on her for free artwork of a totally professional standard, because she is young, living at home, and more interested in her art than in making money out of it. This is how she has become well-known throughout the small press and small magazine publishing world, and why many of them have singled her out for interviews and treatment in feature articles. It would be easy to amass a huge index of her association with such publications, but as has been re-stated so many times here these would not count as evidence of 'notability' for the purposes of Wikipedia. It is this aspect of her work though that has brought so many people from the small press world in to support her as a suitable subject for a Wikipedia article. I don't understand the point about the possibility of the subject contributing photographs to Wikipedia, but my guess is that she would be delighted to do so if asked. Her email address is on her website and it would be very easy to contact her with this proposal, but as I don't really know what it's all about I wouldn't be the best person to discuss it with her.
But in addition to her popularity as a cover artist for the smaller publishers she has supplied the cover for an edition of The British Journal of Psychiatry[1] and had competition wins with outfits as significant as The National Geographic since she was a young teenager. As is detailed in the article she was the winner in her age group at 14[2] and at the age of 14 had her work included as the youngest contributor in the National Geographic and Airbus ‘See the Bigger Picture’ global touring exhibition[3] during the United Nations International Year of Biodiversity (2010). This was a major international exhibition, satisfying the condition WP:ARTISTpart (b) above, and her work is presently on exhibition at The Royal Geographical Society building in London as winner in the under 18 category of the Environmental Photographer of the Year Competition. Again this is a major competition and her part in it is major, satisfying condition (b) once again. She was also at 14 the winner of the 2010 photomonth Youth Award,[4] sponsored by the World Photography Organisation. As listed in the article she has had other numerous competition wins, but as she is not yet 18 all of her wins have of necessity been in age-appropriate categories, which seems to disqualify them as legitimate competition successes in the eyes of the editors who have called for the deletion of the article.
The notability or otherwise of this subject is a question of editorial judgement, and anyone reading the history of the attempt to get a Wikipedia entry approved for this subject will see that the article has caused considerable personal acrimony which involved the same editors who are here once again calling for the removal of the article. Because of this personal involvement in a dispute that has, perhaps through no fault of the editors, descended to personal attacks, I think it would be appropriate for a completely neutral and uninvolved editor to act as mediator in the decision regarding this article's eligibility for acceptance. Coriander2 (talk) 11:41, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think interested parties will be informed automatically, but in case it doesn't happen I'll just let you know that I have entered a request for help with conflict resolution at the dispute resolution noticeboard (DRN).[5] Coriander2 (talk) 13:17, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I am a regular volunteer at DRN. That request has been closed, as DRN will not accept cases which are already pending in other forums. (The same is generally true of all forms of dispute resolution at Wikipedia.) A listing at Articles for Deletion is sufficient unto itself; this is the place to make your best arguments for retention or deletion and the administrator or editor who closes this discussion will resolve any disputes.

- Delete or heavily trim -- This young woman is clearly very prolific in getting her work publihsed for (at most) a 17-year old, but WP is not the right place for her to be recording all her achievements. It would be much better if this was done in a personal website, where she would be able put up copies of the images. I suspect COI in the creators and editors. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:44, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think the 'heavy trim' is a compromise that might satisfy all parties. As she gets older and accumulates wins in adult competitions the article can be expanded again, but for the present she would have a Wikipedia presence that would represent fair recognition of her considerable achievements. Coriander2 (talk) 17:42, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, the subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, so any article on the subject would be inappropriate, no matter what prose is found there. That might change in the future, but for now it is too soon to have an article about this individual. - SudoGhost 17:44, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps I'm being overly pedantic, but surely it's overstating the case for deletion by saying that "any article on the subject would be inappropriate, no matter what prose is found there". The basis for that decision is indeed "what prose is found there", the decision can't be made in that a priori fashion. Coriander2 (talk) 17:49, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- A "heavy trim" would not solve the notability issue, and that is why the article is at AfD. Articles are not kept or deleted at AfD because of the amount of prose found in the article. The subject does not meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, which is determined through third-party reliable sources that are independent of the subject, not through "what prose is found there". Changing the prose will not change its appropriateness in that regard. - SudoGhost 17:55, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
At the risk of repeating myself, the sufficiency of the evidence given is a matter of judgement. She has major competition wins and an extensive publication record. With respect, I would still like an independent opinion about those things, from someone who has no personal history with this debate, and will see if I can enlist the input of other independent editors. Coriander2 (talk) 18:02, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That's what AfD is for, and other editors have commented and will continue to comment. - SudoGhost 18:17, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, essentially per WP:CREATIVE: no major awards or individual exhibitions or works in museums. Virtually no reliable third party sources. As mentioned above: this might just be too early for an article about her. And to Coriander2: please do not try to see an agenda here; we are all volunteers, essentially working for the good of the Encyclopedia, so why see a conspiracy when there really is none? No one is "gaining" anything by keeping the article out, but we have policies we have to apply, and these are the result of years of collaboration and consensus finding. These policies are applicated to each "case", as NPOV as possible. And application of these policies points quite clearly to delete, at least for the moment. Lectonar (talk) 09:25, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to answer your points there, Lectonar, I am not suggesting a conspiracy, just that the two editors who initiated the deletion procedure this time have had a history of acrimony with the creator of the first article on Bennett and I find it hard to accept that they have no residual hostility to anyone trying to get an article published on this subject. On you point about 'individual exhibitions', that isn't in fact what the guidelines call for, just that the person's work "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition". I think two of the subject's (fully referenced) competition wins satisfy this condition, the National Geographic and Airbus ‘See the Bigger Picture’ global touring exhibition in 2010 and the current exhibition at the Royal Geographic Society building in London where she is the Young Environmental Photographer of the Year winner. Coriander2 (talk) 10:10, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, your line of dicussion let me think otherwise; if I have offended you with that, I am sorry. If you want to argue about our policies, this is not the place for it. You asked for someone not directly engaged in the topic to give his opinion, and I did that. Your arguing every single vote is hot helping your cause, btw. Regards. Lectonar (talk) 11:13, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You would be hard-pressed to find any example of me holding any sort of grudge or hostility. Opening this second AfD is not indicative of "hostility", but rather that this subject does not warrant an encyclopedia article; an opinion that has not changed the second time around, because the quality of the sources in the article have not changed. As to the competition wins and exibitions, those would require some kind of third-party reliable source showing that they are notable, otherwise they aren't indicative of notability because no sources have shown that the exhibitions or competitions are "significant"; being one of several winners of various competitions that occur annually doesn't show notability, especially when there are only primary sources and blogs that show any mention of it. - SudoGhost 10:27, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to answer your points there, Lectonar, I am not suggesting a conspiracy, just that the two editors who initiated the deletion procedure this time have had a history of acrimony with the creator of the first article on Bennett and I find it hard to accept that they have no residual hostility to anyone trying to get an article published on this subject. On you point about 'individual exhibitions', that isn't in fact what the guidelines call for, just that the person's work "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition". I think two of the subject's (fully referenced) competition wins satisfy this condition, the National Geographic and Airbus ‘See the Bigger Picture’ global touring exhibition in 2010 and the current exhibition at the Royal Geographic Society building in London where she is the Young Environmental Photographer of the Year winner.

The article has turned out to be a replication of information in two articles St. John's College Panadura and Panadura Royal College. It was the consensus of two discussions on merging to merge the article to the two articles. However a user later block for sock puppetry recreated the article with the same content and again it was recreated by a user which seems to be a sock too.

Article was one of many created by the same person that do not meet WP:GNG. As opposed to fixing the previous articles, this is yet another creation where there are no references that show notability.

Delete- Looks to be an up and coming band. No prejudice to recreation when they arrive. I did find this New Band of the Day article on the Guardian, but that isn't sufficient to estblaish notability now. -- Whpq (talk) 16:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete, although the NPR source linked by IP editor 86.42.83.240 does appear to be a significant coverage non-primary reliable source I have not found, while searching for reliable sources other non-primary reliable sources. Therefore, as there only appears to be one significant coverage source, it is my humble opinion that it is presently too soon for this subject to pass WP:GNG. If another significant coverage source comes out, then I would reconsider.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:51, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Due to information provided by Darkwind, subject of this AfD appears to pass WP:BAND, criteria #11. I believe this is a very low threshold, and thus only changing my opinion to Weak Keep.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:02, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete.

- Comment Hello. I'm the creator of this page. I just added some sources to articles from LA Weekly, Altsounds.com, and more. I'm sure this is obvious, but I don't think this page should be deleted. The band is signed to Secretly Canadian, the same guys who work with artists like Major Lazer, Bon Iver, Dinosaur Jr. and more. The music is distributed internationally and the band tours internationally. I'm a huge fan and, judging by the number of articles about Cayucas you can find on google, I think many others are as well. I didn't want to delete the Multiple Issues/Deletion Consideration boxes from the code because I'm not sure that that's my place, but I do want to make you all aware of these updates to the page so that hopefully you will delete those boxes. Thanks! 01:37, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
- Weak Delete - I've reviewed the additional sources and although this creeps up towards notability, I feel it still falls short at this time. I've amended to a weak delete recognizing there is a stronger case here for notability. -- Whpq (talk) 21:50, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
