Michael Rasmussen (professor)[edit]

Does not meet any of the criteria of WP:ACADEMIC. Randykitty (talk) 22:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He meets #6 (high level academic institution) and #7 (impact in his field outside of the academy) of WP:ACADEMIC. - [User:Cshafferdallas] — Cshafferdallas (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Could you please explain exactly how criteria 6 and 7 are met? I don't see any evidence of that at all (as indicated in the nom). Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 10:12, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for my usual reasons. Verified secondary school. -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - We keep high schools for the very good reason that experience shows that, with enough research, sources can invariably be found that meet WP:ORG. Google is a very poor tool for finding sources on Indian schools because, unlike US schools for example, they don't dump everything on the Internet. Indeed, very few have much of an Internet presence at all. We must avoid systemic bias and allow time for local sources to be researched since no evidence has been adduced that this school cannot meet notability requirements.

Financial data feeds[edit]

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

The article has been declared by the creating editor to be one which will contain no references but will contain code samples (this edit summary refers), thus it is out of scope for Wikipedia.

Comment. We have rather rudimentary articles financial data vendor and financial data processor, but apparently no general article on financial data. Stock market data systems would also be relevant. I suspect that these feeds are at least as worthy of articles as the other two we already have, but my preference would be to have a top level article that discussed financial market data and its transmission from the ticker tape days to the present. The computing source code obviously isn't English and needs to go. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 22:35, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Answer I was looking for a way to publish an article demonstrating the importance of FREE Financial Data Feeds. The majority of small investors or new potential investors willing to learn about stock markets need to play with data to understand how markets are moving and how volatility, liquidity concepts weigh in their buy/sell decisions. In my mind, the only way to demonstrate such concept is by examples understand code examples not straight English verbiage. If such king of rather technical article as other places to be put in, please advise. I do not want to write, just historical nor rather plain English article, unfortunately source code is this case worth the 1000 images, since it is rather simple to use. Setrar (talk)SetraSetrar (talk)
Delete as per Setrar, who very clearly demonstrates why this is not a suitable article in its present form. If the subject cannot be described adequately in English, and if we have no sources that offer such a description, then we cannot (under our present rules) have an article on that subject. With proper sources, some mention might be worthwhile at one or more of the articles noted above. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 13:39, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Noetic Advanced Studies Institute[edit]

No significant coverage in reliable sources. All of the sources which mention this group appear to be primary and non-independent. The entirety of the article appears to violate FRINGE as well, thus requiring a complete rewrite for any sort of NPOV. IRWolfie- (talk) 20:59, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GROUP and WP:THIRDPARTY, If you didn't notice (and I believe you did) a majority of these sources are either from Mindspring, or regarding the Noetic theory rather than the Noetic Advanced Studies Institute. A search only found this, which is exclusively press releases. There is no coverage by any third party source.

Delete there is no coverage in reliable sources. The guy heads a denomination which our article gives as having a membership of 12. Having a patent does not do anything for him either, I know people who hold way more patents than he does who are not notable. Being the head of a denomination does not make someone notable. Sure, if the denomination is major and significant, but when its membership is under 20 and it really never is covered by anyone, it does not. This guy is not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:04, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete it. No further quarrel from me. I disagree, however, with the notion that being the head of a distinctive religious organization is not enough to make a person notable. What does the size of that organization have to do with its notability? But you still won't get any argument from me--go ahead and delete it. I just disagree with the notion that the size or coverage of anyone or anything, in and of itself, prevents someone or something from being "notable," especially when larger membership numbers would suddenly, magically make it so. - Ecjmartin (talk) 12:45, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Benjamin Wong Tape[edit]

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

This article does not appear to meet notability requirements. See Wikipedia:Notability_(people) Note 7. There is only one web page mentioning this person and I can't find any other articles elsewhere Earlopogous 20:25, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Delete Insufficient claim of notability. No evidence of support for notability in multiple reliable secondary sources. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 20:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is actually quite a complicated one. Firstly, the source quoted is the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. This is a very significant secondary source, not simply a random webpage. The chosen subjects are all deemed notable for inclusion by a selection committee. It is the New Zealand equivalent to the Dictionary of National Biography, and I have seen previous people kept at AfD for simply having being mentioned in that source alone. There does also appear to be some other, somewhat limited, coverage including in this book and a few lines in this article and this book. (note that all are by the same author, though). There is also strong indications of offline sources being in existence, especially his papers, which are held in the Hocken Library. (Libraries/Archives do not accept just anything given to them, the documents and the subject both have to be deemed notable enough to be kept and catalogued). He is also mentioned in numerous contemporary newspaper accounts, especially surrounding controversial comments he made about missionaries. Finally, the claims of his achievements in the biography also suggest that offline source on him are more likely than not to exist, including his role as "a founder of the University of Hong Kong" (I am puzzled by this claim and the corresponding lack of sources to back it up, a clarification of exactly what "a founder" means would be helpful. Was it just some money he put up, did he sit on a minor board of some sort, or was he far more active?), a translator in New Zealand, being awarded the OBE, being a Justice of the Peace of Hong Kong and sitting on the Urban Council, Hong Kong. Yes none of these alone automatically qualify for notability, but taken together they do present a strong argument. I imagine there may be sources in Cantonese in existence and would ask any Cantonese speakers to have a quick search. It is a very hard call to make, but the totality of the evidence, the likelihood of offline sources, the interest by a respected Chinese-New Zealand scholar and his inclusion in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography all have me leaning towards the opinion of weak keep, though another in-depth secondary source would be a great asset. Ravendrop 22:02, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close He's listed in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography for being a notable merchant, and that in itself establishes notability. Yes, there might not be much on the internet about him, but that's not a requirement for notability. Given that Patricia Lim has gone to the effort and transcribed his headstone,^[1] I would very much expect that he's included in her 2011 book.^[2] I've expanded the article so that it now represents a useful bio.

Keep Inclusion in the New Zealand biographical registry shows notability. The deletion arguments boil down to too much reliance on recent sources and would lead to even more over representation of living people at the cost of the past than we already have.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:20, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There seems to be consensus to keep this article. Could someone, however, clarify for me why this meets notability requirements that a person who is 'part of the enduring historical record' will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books on that field, by historians." Using this requirement, I don't think the article meets the requirements because Wong Tape is only talked about "in depth" in the DNZB (all other citations are only in passing). I do understand that the failure to find other citations might be a result of systemic bias, and therefore treating everyone in the DNZB as notable is a way to counter systemic bias. I look forward to hearing other views on this. Thanks! Earlopogous 19:25, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

As the article creator, the best explanation I have that this stub was created as part of the core work of Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles and the consensus of Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles and Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand has always been that everyone with a single-person article entry in the DNZB is notable (See this discussion and this). There are a number of people in the DNZB which I balked at and didn't create articles for, typically partnerships of one kind or another. A number of DNZB articles have come up for AfD (Elizabeth Mackay, Hone Taiapa), and I believe none have been deleted, thanks in large part to the efforts of Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand members. A number have been speedied without notification, only a few of which I've had time to get undeleted and improved. Note that I'm not !voting here, just presenting dicussions that have already taken place. Stuartyeates (talk) 07:43, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, see the TFD for {{Rozz Williams}}. When !vote-count was running 5-2 in favour of deletion, Jax wrote Navbox now has 5 albums. Happy?. That was minutes after he had created stubs 3 non-noatble albums: Every King a Bastard Son, Live in Berlin (Rozz Williams album) and Accept The Gift of Sin. All 3 are now at AFD: see AFD:Every King a Bastard Son, AFD:Live in Berlin (Rozz Williams album) and AFD:Accept The Gift of Sin.

Keep. I've cleaned up the article a little and found a review online. There are probably more sources out there that I am yet to find, but may turn up in due course. For instance, a book on Williams has been released by a noted publisher, which may include information, and rock music/goth culture magazines may well have carried reviews, though I have no access to that kind of thing right now. The album is by a noted artist and released by a notable record label, and seems to have been a significant part of the artist's career, as one of Williams's few releases in this particular style.

Shahbagh Square[edit]

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

WP:NOTINHERITED: The only reason this road intersection is notable is the Shahbag Protest riots. I don't feel confident being bold here, so I'm AfDing it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:08, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose deletion: For three reasons, (1) if you knew the country, you'd know that protests often occur at the sites of past protests, so this place is likely to be a recurring focal point for future news events (2) some allowance should be made for the fact that this location is in a country where English is not the principal language and given time, more information may accumulate (I bet there were protests here in the past, but probably a different name was used then, or the name of the place didn't hit the western media) and (2) this page performs an important service for journalists and others seeking information. There are multiple names and multiple transliterations of the names (we probably haven't collected them all yet). The information that it isn't a square in the usual sense is also helpful. If, as I suspect, it used to be a huge roundabout that I remember from before the war, then it is very central to Dhaka and has a lot of history that we haven't yet accumulated here. If every station on the London underground can have its own page, then this place very much deserves a page. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 14:31, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Point 1 fails WP:CRYSTAL. Point 2 fails WP:CRYSTAL (and English sources aren't required anyway; if it's about this event, it STILL doesn't make the square notable, per WP:NOTINHERITED). Point 3 fails WP:ITSUSEFUL, and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:35, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Apart from the Shahbag protests, this is a major intersection in Dhaka and also a historic one, surrounded by some major landmarks! --Zayeem ^(talk) 15:35, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since when was being a major intersection a grounds for inclusion? The other bit fails WP:NOTINHERITED as well... Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:40, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With respect I see nothing in WP policies that prevents a road intersection from being notable. What about Piccadilly Circus in London, or the many other examples? Notability is derived from a place's associations, surrounding buildings, setting, or something else. I do not intend to !vote because I do not know Dhaka, but the case made out by Sminthopsis84 and Kmzayeem seems reasonable to me. --AJHingston (talk) 18:04, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying it cannot be notable; I'm saying that arguing it is a major intersection and is thus notable is not really enough. If someone actually provides sources about this square that aren't about the riots, but actually have in-depth coverage of this square, then notability may appear more convincing. There are a 1001 sources on Piccadilly Circus, which, I feel the need to add, isn't just the intersection, whereas this appears to be. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:23, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This could satisfy you, hard to find many sources because of the ongoing protests being the most trending topic, hence most of the links direct to that protest. Besides, for some obvious reasons, you won't find as many sources for a street in Dhaka as you may find for that of London! --Zayeem ^(talk) 11:17, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that's one piece primarily about the square, which is a start. I'm not expecting a London-level of coverage, but 2 or 3 more in-depth pieces that are not about the riots/protests would definitely satisfy notability. When I nominated this, its only claim to notability was the riots. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:26, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability doesn't count on the number of sources, the link which I posted, clearly asserts the notability of Shahbag square! Besides, this place is also a center of different cultural activities in Dhaka as seen here. Hence, the article surely justifies its existence! --Zayeem ^(talk) 15:33, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you read WP:GNG, which clearly states the need for in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources. I'm not 100% convinced that NewageBD is a reliable source, and, besides, the word "Shahbagh" is not present anywhere in it anyway (nor is the word square). Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:53, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Zayeem, I would say keep if the sources (including Bangla sources) can be added. But to have an article the article needs to have some information about the title. This article contains no information about Shahbagh Square itself. When was the roundabout built? 1920s? 1970s? What are the numbers of the two roads intersecting? What is the GPS coordinate? The most basic geo stub information is missing. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:18, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, this is another source. Well, the article surely needs to be rewritten as it mainly emphasizes on the protests rather than the actual info about the subject, I'll try to add those! --Zayeem ^(talk) 15:57, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fred (bicycling)[edit]

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

Unsourced neologism that violates Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Per WP:NOTNEO "Some neologisms can be in frequent use, and it may be possible to pull together many facts about a particular term and show evidence of its usage on the Internet or in larger society. To support an article about a particular term or concept we must cite what reliable secondary sources, such as books and papers, say about the term or concept, not books and papers that use the term.'' What sources that do exist to try do define this term are highly idiosyncratic and personal; they say more about the pundit giving the definition than the meaning of "Fred". Writing a new section in Bicycle culture about the existence of social hierarchies, cliques, pejoratives and hyper-competition among some bicyclists would be encyclopedic, but trying to adjudicate the "correct" definition of a neologism/meme like "fred" is more appropriate for Urban Dictionary crowdsources to vote on.

It doesn't matter what round the game is in – what makes you think it does? Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:46, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So everyone who ever appeared in an FA Cup game, any player on any of those 674 clubs that play every year, gets to be have his own article?

Of course not, only in matches between or for professional clubs. Nobody here has argued that point, including deleters, and it's the way it's always been, as far as I know.

Comment - one substitute appearance in a Cup match means he technically scrapes by WP:NFOOTBALL by the skin of his teeth - but he comprehensively fails WP:GNG which is far more important. Giant Snowman 10:29, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If he fails WP:GNG then so do an awful lot of lower league footballers. I agree the satisfaction of WP:NFOOTBALL is tenuous, but it's there. Either you pass a notability guideline or you don't. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:00, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, there are other articles that pass NFOOTBALL but fail GNG - so what? NFOOTBALL is reliant upon, and subservient to, GNG. NFOOTBALL is only "presumed" notability as to actual notability, an important difference. Giant Snowman 21:21, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not convinced it fails WP:GNG – it seems to satisfy it, as far as I can see. Not by a wide margin, but enough. Why do you think it fails? Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:49, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Every source listed in the article is either a match report, transfer news, or a player profile, all of which is routine sports journalism insufficient for WP:GNG. Sir Sputnik (talk) 22:57, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where in WP:GNG does it say that? And what other sources are likely for footballers? Bretonbanquet (talk) 23:00, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GNG asks for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - which this person has not received. The coverage he has received is WP:ROUTINE. Giant Snowman 09:12, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That applies to events, not people. Again, what other sources are likely for footballers? Perhaps you could direct me to a footballer article which does not use such "routine" coverage as sources? Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:53, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It clearly applies to people as well - "routine news coverage of such things as announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism are not sufficient basis for an article" (my emphasis), otherwise we would have a flood of articles on lower league players based on nothing more than 'John Smith signed a two-year contract with Wiki FC' etc. Plenty of footballer articles meet GNG, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Football#Showcase for a list of peer-reviewed articles. Giant Snowman 13:35, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To my eyes, that clearly refers to sports events, not any kind of bio article. We do have a flood of articles on lower league players based on exactly that kind of sourcing, including the "good article" Barry Cogan (footballer), which, although more detailed and better-written, is based on exactly the type of sourcing that Matt Bulman is based on, i.e. nothing but BBC reports, squad profiles, local news reports of transfers and match reports – routine sports journalism. Cogan had a higher-profile career, but that isn't a requirement for WP:GNG. Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:28, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you believe that this article and the one one Cogan are of equal standard shows that you need to brush up on notability requirements. Giant Snowman 15:32, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you think I said they're of equal standard means you need to read my post again. I said nothing of the sort. Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:37, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You said that the the Cogan article is "based on exactly the type of sourcing" as the Bulman article - it shows you lack the ability to decipher sources articles re:GNG - hence why one is a peer-approved GA and the other is at AFD. Giant Snowman 15:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did, and it is. I made reference to the greater detail in the Cogan article, which is due to his brief participation in higher-profile games. Bulman's article needs work, not deletion. You brought up WP:ROUTINE, which is event-specific and has no bearing on bios; I don't consider your beliefs regarding what I lack to be of any merit, or relevance to this discussion. I still don't see what other kind of coverage a lower league footballer is likely to receive, and nobody here has offered anything, despite my asking twice. Bulman passes WP:NFOOTBALL (not by a lot, as we've said) and I consider his coverage in the reliable, independent sources used to be non-trivial (again, not by a lot), satisfying WP:GNG. That's basically my point – we disagree, and that's pretty much it, as far as I can see. Bretonbanquet (talk) 15:56, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As alluded to by Bretonbanquet, many (probably most) articles about English Football League players are created as soon as the player makes his debut, with no more sourcing than a link to Soccerbase (a stats database) and, if you're lucky, a link to the BBC match report that lists his name in the teamsheet. But even that limited level of sourcing does verify that the player passes the relevant subject-specific notability guideline, and that is enough. The point of the subject-specific guideline is to set a standard at which the subject of the article can be presumed to meet the general notability guideline, and to allow time for the article about the subject to be improved to demonstrate the validity of that presumption. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:13, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tedford Williamson[edit]

Unnotable local city councilor created for self promotion. User:Billy Hathorn, now banned but still active with sock puppets, started this article, which is mainly sourced to one article written by Hathorn in a local history journal (also up for afd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/North Louisiana History (North Louisiana History nomination)). The two minor sources not by Hathorn are bizjournals.com about him being "affiliated" with a concrete company owner and deadlink to an image. Tedford Williamson fails to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people). It seems like this article was simply one of many articles User:Billy Hathorn created to promote his work, and is one reason the community was annoyed and led to his ban.

Delete. While a prior AfD that resulted in default to keep probably precludes speedy deletion, the current text would appear to qualify for speedy deletion both as unambiguous advertising and no minimal claim of importance; having a deal with Verizon does not qualify as such: a technology provider of mobile commerce solutions. The company builds and markets M-Commerce stores for retailers and service providers, enabling them to extend their reach to the mobile channel and drive consumer sales. The larger problem is that this text is also too vague to improve by editing as well. And it's a behind the scenes business selling other businesses means to sell stuff to people with fancier mobile telephones than mine. Absent some kind of showing of significant impact on history, technology, or culture, this kind of business just won't ever be an appropriate subject for a standalone article in an encyclopedia. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 19:26, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It should be proved in the article (or here) what makes the subject (TV show) notable (that's what I'm talking about) per WP:LOTSOFSOURCES: What exactly makes it notable according to the sources.

The World Forum[edit]

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

Almost zero reporting on it, appears to have just had one conference back in 2007 & handed out a few awards to prominent businessmen (and that's not even reported in the local press, which given HH's involvement is very surprising). Seems to have been defunct after that (website not updated either). Bromley86 (talk) 19:09, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found two articles in the Gulf News by using His Highness' name. The earliest reads like a prelim press brief[2], whilst the second mentions a meeting in April 2007[3]. There's no report In the Gulf News on how that meeting went (or even that it actually went ahead) and no subsequent reports. Sounds like The World Forum has fizzled, as with HH & Khalaf Al Habtoor involved I'd expect it to be constantly in a paper like the Gulf News if it hadn't. Using KaH's name, I found confirmation of that first meeting actually taking place.[4]. It doesn't appear to have done anything other than have a single bunfight where they handed out awards to prominent businessmen. Bromley86 (talk) 19:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comedy Nest[edit]

Subject is a comedy club in Montreal. Article makes no assertion of notability. Google Web, Google News, and Google News Archives searches for ("comedy nest") produce nothing that satisfies WP:GNG. I found some local coverage in the Montreal Gazette, and a profile of the owner (which didn't discuss the club itself in any detail) at canada.com. There's a very brief description at the Lonely Planet website; a passage in the HTML that doesn't show on the page (in Chrome, right-click page and select "View page source") reads "Ranked #431 of 682 things to do in Montreal by Lonely Planet travellers", which doesn't suggest a high degree of notability.

Comment the issue with Wikipedia is never what is true. We care about what is notable and what is verifiable when it is notable. For the award to be important, reliable sources in whatever language have to report in thus. It is likely, but not certain, that the recipient of a notable award, IF the award is proven to be notable, is of itself notable. That could be sufficient to ensure the survival of the article, but woudl not be sufficient to preserve all the alleged facts in the article. References are vital.

Pikes Hotel, Ibiza[edit]

This is another in a series of non-notable hotel articles from the same editor. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hotel_Orquidea,_Santa_Eulària_des_Riu, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hotel_Es_Viva,_Ibiza, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hotel_Fenicia_Prestige,_Santa_Eulària_des_Riu, Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Hostal_Yebisah,_Santa_Eulària_des_Riu for other recent examples.

However this book was not actually nominated for it - The Guardian has the real shortlist[24].

Not listed at Amazon, or at the BL. Only Google hits for book and author name together are to wiki. Mcewan (talk) 14:46, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per following reasons:
- It does not cite any sources.
- I couldn't find any relevant google results.
- The cover image appears to be fabricated, probably through photoshop (It would probably appear very different, and probably much better, if it was designed by a professional cover designer).
- The author of the book is verifiably real, but, as far as Google and Amazon know, has not written any book entitled The God Tree.
- The author of the article has apparently made no contributions other than edits to the above article, and an edit detailing the above book as being part of the shortlist of novel nominations for the 2003 Whitbread Awards.
- Even if, as unlikely as it is, it is not a hoax, it is mostly spam and does not appear to be notable.

If I had encountered this article before this deltetion discussion, I probably would have tagged it for speedy deletion.

Delete I love these games and I've put a couple hundred hours of my life into them collectively. But this is fansite material that's simply trivial and out of scope in a general interest encyclopedia. Also, extremely unlikely these have received the required substantial coverage in reliable sources. While we're at it, I'm not seeing why a unanimous debate was reopened.

Keep. The guild-joining element of the games is an extremely significant aspect; this is not merely a list of organisations in the various games, which some users seem to assume, but also has sourced discussion of the design of the guilds and the role they play within the game. I'm sure there would also potentially be sources for discussion of the critical response and impact/influence. I am not going to search for them now, as it's pretty clear where this discussion is going, which is a shame. I actually nominated this for deletion myself, but withdrew my nomination after seeing the arguments in the first AfD, and, afterwards, did what I could to improve the article. J Milburn (talk) 15:45, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What I feel your argument does not address is that Wikipedia is not a WP:GAMEGUIDE to talk about how important a game feature is to a player-base. Moreover, the fact that it is important does not necessarily make it a notable subject. Importance =/= notability. Lastly, if the article were more heavily about impact and influence beyond run-of-the-mill gamer coverage it would be seriously reconsidered, but it's close; i.e. 2 of the 7 sections are not analytical and merely descriptive of the game feature, and inside those 2 sections that do discuss the aspect, most of it is still game description. Mkdw ^talk 20:11, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with what you're saying. I think the best argument I could provide (if I have the time and inclination) is to work on a stronger article on the same topic, which demonstrates the real-world significance of the subject. Obviously, if I am unable to do so, that would be the deletion vindicated. J Milburn (talk) 21:04, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Don't know what to think about this and I'm even scared to comment, but here it goes. What needs to be asked is if the topic meets general notability guidelines. If no, then the article should go. If yes, then fall back on WP:GAMEGUIDE and cut the article down to the basic facts. My talk page is now open for your attacks! --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 16:24, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I find the decision to relist this discussion as a bit perplexing. Especially since the consensus prior to the first relist was very strong, and following the relist, it still largely favoured delete in that the 9 editors who argued for delete cited guideline and policy based arguments, while the 1 keep argument has not addressed WP:GAMEGUIDE or that the article makes no assertion of notability, and largely agreed, the article does not discussion the important aspects of the feature outside guide. Mkdw^talk 05:03, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that the consensus is pretty clear, and I agree that the relist was probably an odd decision, but characterising the keepers as citing policies and me as failing to do so is laughably partisan and borderline delusional. I refer you, for instance, to Sergecross's ridiculous comment. You could have managed to make this comment without implying that I don't know what I'm talking about... J Milburn (talk) 16:29, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary, I think you made some good points. I don't really think I implied the connotation that you didn't know what you were talking about, but rather, you brought up new arguments that were valid but did not directly address the issues most people thought the article should be deleted. I'm also inclined with Mark and you, J Milburn, that the article could be re-created and userfy the noted contents you suggested were potentially worth keeping. I did point this out earlier and directed the question at you in the form of a reply above. I sincerely apologize if it sounded negative, I only meant to strengthen my argument in that your keep comment did regard the delete camp's argument as also very strong, in that it was not an adamant oppose to our arguments. Mkdw ^talk 00:39, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was a little snappy... J Milburn (talk) 06:30, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Factions and guilds in the Elder Scrolls games have gotten some news press at IGN, mmprorg.com, PC Gamer, and G4. None of these could be considered unambiguously reliable sources, but the topic may become notable in time. In my opinion, WP:GAMEGUIDE is an argument for improving the article, not deletion. I agree that consensus for deletion was reached and will not contest that, but there should be no prejudice to re-creation if more sources become available. --Mark viking (talk) 19:08, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. I wish I could find more, but if there are sources then they're probably not on the Internet. I can see where it's in some college libraries, but not many and I don't see where it's really part of many college courses. I did find mention of it in a few scholarly texts, but mostly in passing. The lengthiest mention I added to the article, but even then it's more of a trivial mention than anything else. The best source is the one from Página/12, but we'd need at least 1-2 more to really establish notability here. If anyone wants to userfy this I have no issue with that. Does anyone know if the author the book is attributed to is especially notable? Maybe an article can be created for him and redirected there? Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 16:40, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is an erotic classic of sorts. First, the worldcat references [26] show the book existed and still exists--it was republished by Grove Press in 1967. Second, this is fiction -- erotic fiction, with not only little required connection to reality, but with the expectation of a considerable amount of unreality to enhance the fantasy; whether the title of the book corresponds to the facts of history is totally besides the point . Third, the author is a pseudonym, as shown by the British National Bibliography entry for the original 1890 publication [27] as was customary for books of this nature--I would be remarkably surprised if anyone in 1890 had put their real name to work of this wort. Fourth, and the reason I'm calling it a classic, is that it also exists in French Spanish, Japanese, & Dutch, [28] Fifth, and the evidence it is a classic, is that it is included in an anthology [29]. (The Grove Press reprinting also shows this--this was one of their specialties) I've updated the article to reflect all this. Not meant personally, but the doubts of the previous two eds, both my good friends here, show them a little unfamiliar with this 18th-mid20th century genre.

Emocapella[edit]

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

Non-notable college a capella band. Fails Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles and WP:GNG. No record deal, no actual record releases (other than self-published). The band has supposedly been mentioned in magazines (no links ever provided to verify), but even if that's the case, the were mentions do not rise to the level of "Significant coverage" that "address[es] the subject directly in detail," as required by WP:GNG. Wikipedia:No one cares about your college a capella band.

The most telling part of the article is where the band "credits itself with inventing a performance technique known as "Guerillacapella."[citation needed]." GrapedApe (talk) 12:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep passes WP:GNG. Nominator would have known just by reading the provided references, which include more than "mere mentions". Diego (talk) 12:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - First, notability does not have to be established with record releases or record deals. There are many different criteria that can be met for notability under Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles. They could be notable under criteria #1 or #7; however, there needs to be significant coverage from reliable sources. I was able to find the link to MTV.com [30] but cannot find others. Just because there are not links in the article to the references does not mean that they do not exist and linking a reference is not a requirement to establish notability. However, with that in mind we are now here at AfD and would suggest that the article creator (or someone who wants the article kept) add the links or come up with additional references in order to support the claims of notability within the article. MTV is all I can find and do not believe it is strong enough to support the article.--FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 18:50, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MTV is not the only reference. You should WP:AGF and believe that the provided sources are do indeed provide enough content before !voting on the assumption that they don't; as you say, sources don't need to be online. I've read the Entertainment Weekly and it also provides in-depth coverage, so there are at least two reliable sources covering the topic. Diego (talk) 19:07, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Um, OK. Instead of attacking me and accusing me of not assuming good faith, please re-read my vote. I have assumed good faith, but suggested that someone (probably you as this seems near and dear to you by the tone of your writing) come up with other sources or provide links as a consensus needs to be reached and it would be easier for others to reach such if they can see the sources. Also, I am not sure that 2 sources are good enough to support the article. Keep in mind that the sources have to support the content. You cannot just state that they were in the sources and then write anything else you want in the article. Where is the source that supports this:

Guerillacapella is a style of a cappella singing focusing on impromptu concerts, typically on a college campus, designed to attract fans that would not normally be found at traditional a cappella concerts. The performance style is named after guerrilla warfare, a method of asymmetric fighting typically categorized by small, mobile groups, which use the element of surprise to ambush their enemies. Emocapella has been most prominently credited with adapting the tactic to musical performances.

Come up with the reference for it and maybe I could be persuaded to change my vote, but as it stands, the sources do not support the content of the article. Sorry for trying to give advice. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 19:18, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AfD is not cleanup; what matters for deleting the topic is the article that could be written from the available sources, not the one that is written now. Per WP:IMPERFECT we don't delete articles only because they're in bad shape. Nevertheless I've rewritten the section and everything is now sourced to the references. I don't care about the group (though it shouldn't matter if I did), but I care about content being deleted without a strong and informed reason. As you acknowledged, that the sources are not easy to found online is not a reason to delete - what matters for GNG is that the group was given press space by major publishers. Diego (talk) 12:25, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have access to these offline sources?--GrapedApe (talk) 13:38, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Better yet, I've found the EW reference online. The links are in the article now. Diego (talk) 09:04, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Thanks for the links. The SPIN Magazine article is a brief mention and is only a quote from one of the band members. Not really significant coverage. The EW article is a good one and would say that it goes towards notability. The links from the school newspaper are not independent and therefore can go to supporting content in the article, but not towards establishing notability. That makes two sources, but still not enough notability to change my vote. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 17:42, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Not having a record deal doesn't necessarily mean that it's not notable, but it is evidence that it's not notable. Especially when it's a college club that's not named The Whiffenpoofs.--GrapedApe (talk) 01:27, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic passes WP:GNG as it has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." It also passes WP:BAND using criteria #1: it "has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent". WP:BAND criteria #1 includes "articles in a school or university newspaper", such as The GW Hatchet. Indeed, a Hatchet article mentions some of the group's press appearances. Many of the group's press appearances are listed in the WP article as sources. - tucoxn\^talk 02:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- GW Hatchet is George Washington University's internal newsletter. I really doubt that satisfies WP:GNG any more than the reference to myspace.--GrapedApe (talk) 12:23, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - You are mistaken. GW Today is George Washington University's internal newsletter. The GW Hatchet is a student-run newspaper. They should not be confused. Although I agree that a reference to a news article in GW Today would not meet Wikipedia standards, a reference to a news article in The GW Hatchet should be treated like one from any other college or university newspaper. - tucoxn\^talk 11:49, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note - Just because The GW Hatchet is an "independent" newspaper does not mean that it meets the "independent" standard needed for Wikipedia references. As the group is part of the university, the press received "from" the university newspaper would not be considered independent. Again, I found the MTV.com article which is a good article and the Entertainment Weekly article is good, but still need more to meet WP:GNG. Also, references do not support the content which is also misleading. Being "featured in several major publications" is no where close to the truth of the brief mention in Spin Magazine. That paragraph stinks of notability masking. --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 17:42, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - The use for one GW Hatchet article is to note Emocapella's various non-GWU press coverage: "The group is scheduled to appear in Blender magazine in March, Spin magazine in April and Rolling Stone in the next few weeks." Blender and Spin are already mentioned in the Wikipedia article, as is Kerrang! This article requires an editor with access to Kerrang! and Rolling Stone archives in order to access those publications' archives. The other GW Hatchet article also mentions some of the group's press. - tucoxn\^talk 12:09, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that when WP:BAND criterion #1 mentions "articles in a school or university newspaper", it's mentioning them negatively, in that such articles "in most cases" don't help establish notability. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:14, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:BAND, criterion #1: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself." This group has been the subject of articles on MTV.com and Entertainment Weekly's web site. These are legitimately articles about this group, not just incidental mentions of them. They also got a one-paragraph item in Spin magazine. I tend to be skeptical of the notability of college a cappella groups, but it looks like this group makes it over the notability threshold. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:05, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nominated for deletion for the following reasons. 1 - Notability - many other international brands of this product exist and do not receive an article. 2 - NPOV - This article is heavily slanted from the US perspective (ironically, given its subject matter). 3 - the subject matter is not factual but rather one of perception and opinion among a minority of individuals in the US and one of the cited sources suggests that it is a 'myth'.

Keep per WP:GNG, significant coverage with dedicated articles in two major newspapers. NPOV is not a reason for deletion, if any it's a reason to expand the article with a balanced viewpoint, assuming there are reliable sources to establish a different viewpoint.

Merge into Coca-Cola – This is not a separate brand or product, just an unofficial term used to describe Coca-Cola that has been imported from Mexico to the United States. When it's still in Mexico it's just called "Coca-Cola", and anywhere else in the world it's not any more special than Coke imported from any other country. I'd argue that the regional variation of a global brand doesn't generally warrant a separate article (There's no need for "New Zealand Marmite" or "European Nutella", for example, even if the differences in formulae have received significant coverage in reliable sources). What's notable isn't really the product itself, but the phenomenon wherein some consumers in a certain country prefer a grey-market version of the product. This content either belongs in Coca-Cola, or with a title with less regional bias, like "Consumption of imported Coca-Cola in the United States". And given how little content there actually is in this article, I'd suggest it just be merged. Ibadibam (talk) 21:46, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This was a declined PROD. obviously not much here. I am the article creator, and want to simply be sure this article name, if not kept, is preserved as a redirect, as a reasonable search term. i merged the content in anticipation, as many merges dont get done for a while, and the merged content to Kaiser Permanente is so small (i didnt merge the Michele le info, as it would be trivia in the main article).

Delete. A quick search does not show that this term is in common usage. Most results are from the two words being juxtaposed, for example: "For your world tour: Tote bag", or tote bags sold as souvenirs for a music tour or show. I see a number of retail sites on Google offering tour totes, but haven't spotted any reliable secondary sources. If ONE source can be found, maybe a brief definition/explanation can be put on Tote bag along with a redirect, otherwise, delete. Mabalu (talk) 16:38, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find any coverage in reliable sources. It hasn't promoted any famous bands (even the 2 blue-linked ones in that list are of questionable notability).

redirect to Feluda. Part of a long-running series with a very distinguished creator, Satyajit Ray, but as far as I can tell not notable in itself (children's books in a long running series are rarely independently notable), and the shortness of the article means there's almost nothing worth saving.

Keep: It is unfortunate that we don't have good digital on it, but, it is a notable book! This is one of 28 Feluda stories written by Ray. Notable Bengali publishers Ananda Publishers has covered articles on this book. In this book, we find Feluda, the Bengali investigator, goes to Baker Street, and paying tribute to Sherlock Holmes guru tumi chhile bolei amra achhi, which is widely quoted. --Tito Dutta (contact) 18:26, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Feluda. The series as a whole is notable, but there really isn't anything out there to show that this book has notability outside of the series to merit its own article at this point in time. The thing about books in series (regardless of length) is that we need to have coverage that specifically focuses on this book. I found one trivial mention in relation to the series as a whole, ([34]) but nothing that specifically focuses on this book and provides in-depth coverage. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:09, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You don't know! You'll not find anything in world wide web. It is always difficult to deal with such Indian AFDs, you need to go to 2-3 libraries, read a bunch of books, scan some documents to prove notability! --Tito Dutta (contact) 08:08, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If someone goes to a library and finds sources, they can re-create the article. But it's not really enough to suspect that sources exist in order to save an article, you need to prove it. And what is really lost if this incredibly short article is turned into a redirect? --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:42, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with Tokyo Girl Uncletomwood (talk) 07:27, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete Titodutta brings up a good point; an inevitable system bias will arise when we reason "I can't find anything about this Indian AfD, and I've never heard of it, therefore it can't be important." And we should be sensitive to that. However, Titodutta's reference to the Sherlock Holmes quote can be covered in the Feluda article (and it's not even mentioned in the Londone Feluda article). If that's the only thing that would make the book memorable to people who have not read the series, I'm afraid that just isn't enough. Even the Bengali wikipedia only has one sentence about it, if I have the right page: [Benagali Londone Feluda page]. Listmeister (talk) 14:34, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He meets WP:POLITICIAN because he was elected to the legislature of the Indian state of Karnataka in 1962 and 1967, according to this 2004 article in The Hindu. In this article, The Hindu quoted the chief minister of that state as saying "the agitation and the political contribution of the late Shantaveri Gopala Gowda are significant in the history of the Legislature" upon the publication of a book about him in 2005, 33 years after his death. This political website discusses his legislative career. The Times of India, in a story about two lawyers who sent a high ranking government official to prison for corruption, quoted them as saying that their "ideological fight against corruption" was "largely inspired by lives of socialists Ram Manohar Lohia, Kadidal Manjappa and Shantaveri Gopala Gowda". That was in 2011, 39 years after his death. In this 2003 article in The Hindu, the Karnataka minister of health said that he was "a dedicated socialist and a champion of the common man" who "fought relentlessly for the cause of the poor" and "appealed to the people, who benefited by the land for the tiller movement" that he led. In a 1992 article, India Today called him a "famed socialist leader". A book called Agrarian Unrest in Karnataka called him a "renowned Socialist leader" who had "charismatic influence" and "gained many followers". He would be notable even if he was a non-descript elected state legislator. These sources show that his influence continues over 40 years after his death.Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 00:45, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I don't actually think this is the same chap with an article in the DNB. That one was a banker who was only 11 at the beginning of the 19th century. This one was an industrialist who apparently played a major role in the Industrial Revolution. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:35, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This seems too common a name for a Google search to be productive unless somebody hits lucky or has a notion who it is who might be referred to. For example, it could be the person referred to in passing on the James Keir page of Grace's Guide but that site contains nothing on him. I am not a fan of uninformative and possibly misleading stubs - unless something substantive can be found I suggest either deletion or replacement with information about the one who is in the DNB. --AJHingston (talk) 23:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and replace with the banker. I see some tantalizing scraps of info that may be about the same person, but not enough for an article:

"In the summer of 1789, Alexander Blair, an industrialist and a Dissenter, rented Hall Barn ... and therefore became a neighbour of [Edmund] Burke."

"This is almost certainly Mrs Alexander Blair, the widow of a ruined industrialist and speculator ..."

He's discussed a bit in James Keir's article. The connection is also mentioned as follows: "In conjunction with his army friend, Alexander Blair, he set up a chemical works at Tipton in 1780 to manufacture alkali and soap." and "... he and Alexander Blair founded the Tipton Chemical Works ..." Clarityfiend (talk) 03:41, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replace with banker -- Persons with ODNB articles are clearly notable; otherwise ODNB would not have included him, but the present article is not on him, since that Blair was active as Treasurer of the Bank of Scotland 1832-59. Keir is clearly notable, but the partner who financed him was probably not. I find three referneces to this Blair in Uglow, The Lunar Men, all of which merely say that he was Keir's partner. Upon replacement, we might have a capnote "For James Keir's partner in his mines and chemical works at Tipton see that article, or something to that effect.

Comment - Wait, what? No one can assert copyright over raw data. Ozzy's album "Scream" was #1 on the UK Rock Chart from June 27th til July 4th 2010. That is a simple and verifiable fact. If Business XYZ has a database of such facts, they have protection for the arrangement or organization, but no control at all over who makes use of or references it. Tarc (talk) 15:14, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The article is largely based on OCC's database, It thus re-uses a substantial portion of it, and is thus derivative of it.

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:32, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - From Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights: "While Wikipedia prefers content that is free anywhere in the world, it accepts content that is free in the United States even if it may be under copyright in some other countries."

A copyright violation might exist if the entire chart from specific weeks were being reprinted in Wikipedia, but not a list of number ones from each week. However, its hard to justify lists like these because, unlike the main UK singles and albums charts, I'm not sure this information is covered anywhere beyond the primary source. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 23:25, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Genre-specific charts are featured on BBC Radio 1's website, and in the magazines Music Week and UKChartsPlus. They are also sometimes featured on the TV channel 4Music. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Obviously concerns over copyright violations are a perfectly fair reason to propose deletion, but I would be extremely reluctant to see all the articles listed here be deleted from Wikipedia, especially when several of them are featured lists. Also, our only basis for concern at the moment is a couple of paragraphs left on chartstats.com, a webpage that several editors have, in the past, flagged as not being a reliable source. Like Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars, I suspect that the reason why Chartstats were forced to stop is that they were reprinting entire charts verbatim on their website – we're printing only a small amount of data: just the number ones. There are several other websites that publish the same information (e.g. Number Ones, everyHit and The Ones), and the OCC seems to have no problem with them. Personally, I think we're okay, but then IANAL. I have sent an e-mail to the OCC, asking for some clarification – hopefully they'll respond soon. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 20:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The OCC have now gotten back to me. They have said that they will seek advice from their legal team on what would/would not constitute infringement, and let us know soon. On a related note, they are also keen to work with Wikipedia on a more formal basis, contributing information and citations relating to our articles about the UK's music charts. I think that would be an extremely useful partnership for us to have, but obviously I'm in no position to be representing Wikipedia in any official capacity – any idea whom I should really direct them to? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. A Thousand Doors (talk | contribs) 21:12, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice that they responded to you and have an interest in aiding the efforts of Wikipedia. Not sure how they can help in contributing information and citations since most of the work here is done by volunteers, but a disclaimer on their website on how Wikipedians can use their information would be helpful. Perhaps there is an appropriate contact listed at Wikipedia:Contact us for them to use. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 23:45, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dbfree[edit]

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

I've nominated this article for the following reasons

The article has no reliable third-party sources on several pages of search results
The article's only references are links to its own homepage (primary source)
The content sounds like advertising at times
The article focuses on one particular piece of software, so it can't be merged sensibly
The original creator of the article was incidentally called "Maxsiseditor" – the name of the company that developed the software

In addition, I've also nominated Maxscript, since it describes a component of this software and uses the same references as this article. Astatine211^Talk 22:56, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I do not agree. Most of articles on the same subject (Xbase, Clipper and dBase-related old programming languages) cannot provide external third-party sources, mainly because most of them are no longer available nowaday, they were mainly on printed media and the original producers are out of business. hfufna^Talk 00:24, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFF comes under arguments to avoid in deletion debates. The other articles are poorly referenced, but Google Books searches show reliable source coverage. Older media may be harder to retrieve but they appear to be available. Let's focus on Dbfree and Maxscript. • Gene93k (talk) 00:56, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all - I can find no significant independent coverage in reliable sources to establish that inclusion criteria are met. Searches in books and scholar fro "DBfree" generate hits, but they refer not to this software, but rather to database object memmory allocation/deallocation functions. Searches for "Maxscript" turn up nothing for this product as opposed to 3D Studio. Referencing in the article is a primary source. -- Whpq (talk) 14:13, 3 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. This software in fact does exists and a deeper search on Google do produces lots of results, most of them referring to usage of the underlying programming language. The fact that most of results come from the same source does not affect its reliability, being common practice to group in one site all the code related to an almost extinct language. The missing of adequate external reliable references is in common with the generic term Xbase, also cited as unsourced material, despite this term it's been used since 1986 by the programmer's community all around the world. The term MaxScript can be ambiguos but that is a fact that the software itself, by mean of its functions, reports its internal script processor having that exact name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.16.121.76 (talk) 19:02, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Nobody is disputing the existence of the software. If you deeper Google search has turned up sources, please present them here for evaluation. I'll happily change my mind if significant coverage can be shown. -- Whpq (talk) 19:54, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

MaraDNS[edit]

Keep As the MaraDNS implementor with a vested conflict of interest, I have written a version of the article which gets all of its information exclusively from third party sources: User:Samboy/MaraDNS; here is an explanation of my changes: User_talk:Samboy/MaraDNS. The most in-depth coverage I have is from a book which devotes an entire chapter to MaraDNS, but other significant third party mentions are out there, including one from a paper written last year (MaraDNS has always been immune to the "Ghost domain" attack) and in a book published by Springer.

It only accepts a zone’s delegation data from its parent zone"
MaraDNS is discussed at depth in “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to DNS cache poisoning” by Sooel Son and Vitaly Shmatikov. We’re not talking a casual mention confirming MaraDNS’ existence. We’re talking an in-depth description and comparison of MaraDNS’ cache poison resistance compared to BIND and Unbound (My summary: MaraDNS has a unique way of handling baliwick, NS referrals, and caching data that is remarkably simple and secure from blind spoofing attacks) This article was published in the book “Security and Privacy in Communication Networks: 6th International ICST Conference, SecureComm 2010.” (edited by Sushil Jajodia, Jianying Zhou) and printed by Springer, and is more recent than the references I added to the talk page in 2009.
A two-part article about MaraDNS, published in Enterprise Networking Planet: Carla Schroder (2006), Buck DNS Monoculture with BIND Alternatives (part 1) and Carla Schroder (2006), Buck DNS Monoculture with BIND Alternatives (part2) Both articles talk about pretty much nothing but MaraDNS; that’s over 2400 words from a reliable third party source.

Also, there are countless sites which mention every single MaraDNS security problem; once a program included with a distribution has a CVE security number, they have a page with the update patching the security bug. If other editors feel making a list of these will help establish notability, I will oblige.

Samboy (talk) 22:42, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Thanks goes to Samboy for providing sources and for being transparent about COI issues. Of the sources in the article and above, the chapter in the Alternative DNS Servers book and the exposition in the The Hitchhiker’s Guide to DNS Cache Poisoning paper are in depth, independent of the author of the software and as peer-reviewed publications, are reliable sources. The ZDNet article is a reliable source, but perhaps not in enough depth. I have not checked the other sources mentioned, but the first two I mentioned are enough for the article to pass general notability guidelines, per WP:GNG. Because of COI issues, we must be sensitive to NPOV and promotional language in the article. But in my opinion, the current article seems neutral enough. The version at User:Samboy/MaraDNS is a bit less so. A notable topic and no major article problems suggest that this article be kept. --Mark viking (talk) 00:25, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ - it clearly needs some work doing on it, but that's not a reason for deletion - it's a reason to improve it. It should only be deleted if it is not realistically possible to cite reliable secondary sources, which I'm convinced it will be, because automotive designs of all kinds have plenty of publications dedicated to providing commentary on them, and are therefore routinely considered notable.

For starters, almost all newly-available bus models would get an article in Ian Allan Buses magazine around the time of their launch, and probably in other magazines too, and all but the most obscure will be listed in the same publisher's Bus and Coach Recognition book series by Alan Millar. (Sadly I don't have either available at the moment, so can't provide said citations myself right now, but hopefully others can.)

At a push it could perhaps be merged into Wright Endurance, which it is closely derived from, but there seems no clear reason to deviate from the established one-article-per-named-model convention we currently have.

Indeed, a more extreme solution of merging the entire Wrightbus "Classic" range into one article could be a possibility, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary work when the rationale for doing so isn't clear-cut. Quackdave (talk) 19:41, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Change my keep to a merge to Wright Endurance. Since the discussion on the CityRanger went in favour of merging to Wright Endurance (which I have now done), for the sake of consistency the UrbanRanger should go there too. (I have already included a fair part of the information in that article, since regardless of what the outcome of this debate is, it felt absurd to include the CityRanger in the Endurance article without also making at least passing mention of the UrbanRanger.) Quackdave (talk) 20:14, 4 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wright Endurance - If it was a bus chassis or such, then it would be a strong keep. As it is, it's a body for a bus chassis, and they only built 16 of them, so there's no way it can be presumed notable, and it fails any notability tests you can throw at it.

As long as they give a valid rationale for deletion, the AfD will progress as given until its natural close, whether that is after a 7 day period (barring anything being held over) or through enough editors giving valid keep rationales that are backed up by RS and policy. The thing is, you have to show that the awards won help show notability. Not all awards are equal and not all go towards notability. The other thing is you'd also have to show that the controversy with Arrests.org is notable and that this website played a major role in the part. If that's the case, then it might be better to write an article for Arrests.org and redirect this to a section in that article. It doesn't help that the sources on the article are predominantly PR. At least five of them are PRs, and the ones that are left either don't mention the article (the Stanford study) and the others are from sites that aren't really considered to be RS. I did do a bit of a search and I'm finding it very hard to find any sources that aren't primary in some format and no amount of primary sources (such as PR) will show notability for a subject, regardless of where they're posted. While anything by a new editor should be looked over, we can't close an AfD simply because they're made by a new editor. If they leave out a rationale (and don't provide one soon after being warned about this) then we can, but the editor did in this case. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:50, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a rundown of the sources:

Extended content

Listed by how they show up on the article:

[36] This is a review, but it's by a site that's not really what Wikipedia considers to be a RS. It doesn't help that it reads like it came from a PR.
[37] This is a press release, and as such, cannot show notability regardless of the claims made within it.
[38] This is another site that wouldn't be usable as a RS and it also reads like a PR.
[39] This is a study by Stanford, but this isn't actually about InternetReputation.com. They're not even mentioned once in the study.
[40] This looks to be your typical nn blog entry. Like 1 and 3, this reads like it was lifted from a PR or written specifically by the IR.com themselves. It's written by an internet marketer, so there's a definite possibility that this was something that the company paid for.
[41] Another press release.
[42] While this was posted on NBC news, it's a reprint of a press release.
[43] Another press release.
[44] Another press release.

Basically restating above, these are almost all press releases with a few that look to be blogs written by people hired by the company. Even if they weren't, none of them are on sites or by people that would be considered to be a RS by Wikipedia's standards. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:00, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Although some references are PR, they somehow show involvement of this company in arrests.org affair by providing service of mug shot removal, a very open question and problem in US. Perhaps place ref improve tag and improve/rewrite the article itself? --205.168.220.137 (talk) 21:16, 6 April 2013 (UTC) — 205.168.220.137 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- The problem here is that the more I look, the more I'm finding that neither InternetReputation.com nor Arrests.org are particularly notable. Most of what I'm finding that discuss the websites are press releases and those can never show notability. Events can make things notable, but those events are only notable if they're reported upon in reliable sources and aren't merely reprints of press releases. I've found only about three sources so far that comment upon Arrests.org and of those, one is only a trivial mention and the other two are more about the idea of mugshot websites rather than the specific website of Arrest.org. [45], [46], [47] Mugshot websites might potentially be a notable subject, but that doesn't automatically mean that every mugshot website inherits notability from being associated with a notable topic. Now even if we assume that we could find a depth of coverage for Arrest.org, that still doesn't mean that InternetReputation.com would inherit notability from being associated with the site. (WP:NOTINHERITED) To show notability for the site you have to prove it by things that aren't press releases that actually discuss InternetReputation.com in specific and not other websites. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:16, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I understand that references are not the best, but I strongly support that this article has to be given a chance. Look at this article; references are no better than these we have here, but nevertheless, article has some notability which can be built during the time. I agree that references must be better, but I have to emphasise that this article is not nearly done and still requires major build-up.. That is why I ask for ref improve tag, to call others that might do this better than me, maybe there is someone that is willing to help and improve this article. EDIT: Another thing, this is something new and there are not so many available sources for now, but it will surely be in the near future. In my opinion, these two articles can bring a basic insight to this matter for users that would browse Wikipedia for it --BiH (talk) 16:02, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Arguments such as WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:ITSUSEFUL aren't really valid arguments here on the English Wikipedia. If you don't think that the other article has notability established, then feel free to nominate it. The existence of other articles does not have any weight on this AfD because the article could either be kept for different reasons or it could just be that it hasn't been nominated for AfD yet. It could also mean that it passed an older AfD, but wouldn't necessarily pass guidelines that are now far more strict for websites. We also cannot keep articles based on the idea that more sources could become available. That's crystal balling and we cannot guarantee that the website will receive any notice from sources that Wikipedia would consider reliable. You can, however, WP:USERFY a copy and work on it there until those sources become available and then later move it back into the mainspace. That's always an option, although I'd recommend getting someone from Wikipedia:WikiProject Websites to look over it to ensure it passes WP:WEB. No sense bringing something to the mainspace, only to have it deleted again via AfD or otherwise. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 17:02, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's really too early to worry about whether any source establishes that this is a notable business. The current article is pure advertising (an award-winning internet reputation management company), focusing entirely on the need for its service, how wonderfully they do them, and how much better it is than its competitors. At any rate, it's an online business in a crowded field of self-promoting startups, and nothing in this text establishes the kind of enduring significance that would make it an encyclopedia subject. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 22:43, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you have found any secondary sources, please list them. Until then, we cannot keep articles based on secondary sources that are not visible or provided and will have to assume that they do not exist. You've listed newspapers, but not any links to show that they actually covered the company rather than relisting press releases or merely trivially mentioning them. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:40, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The other thing I'm slightly concerned about is that I'm not entirely sure that these sources exist. We have an image of a known site/newspaper/etc next to a quote, but when I search in the sites I can't seem to find any of the quotes. A search for the quotes bring up a lot of press releases, making me wonder exactly who made those quotes. For an example of what I mean by this, the site has a quote by an image of the Boston.com logo. A search brings up an article... that is ultimately a press release. ([48] In other words, the website quotes are entirely likely all or solely the website quoting press releases that were reprinted on other sites. This is essentially why primary sources are never usable and should never be used to argue for an article to be included on Wikipedia. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:51, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've attempted to clean up this article. In essence, it included removing quite a bit of copyvio and press releases used as citations. I can't find a reliable or independent source to support the awards asserted. http://www.internetreputation.com/about/ and http://internetreputation.com/InternetReputation.com_Overview.pdf offered nothing that we can use to support or establish notability. At this point, there are two citations, albeit with questionable reliability. This source appears as a press release masquerading as an independent article. Same for this source, which is a blog that essentially duplicates content from the organization's website, then closes with "The Verdict: InternetReputation.com is an award-winning reputation management company that has successfully removed offending information for numerous businesses and individuals."

  - Comment: There are plenty of third party sources to show that this company is actually a leader in the field. here are two: The company was mentioned in this article by the Miami herald - http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/11/03/3081517_p2/mugshots-the-hot-new-internet.html - InternetReputation.com, which offers to provide a “clean, clear online reputation.” This artcile by justia.com - http://verdict.justia.com/2012/04/24/mug-shot-mania — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.168.220.137 (talk) 19:58, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment. The content about the subject mentioned at justia.com and miamiherald.com is minimal at best. Justia.com offers a blog entry for BustedMugShots.com, of which a representative offers a short comment about BustedMugShots.com. Take the miamiherald.com content, "MugshotsUSA.com offers Florida mugshots for most counties. The site carries an ad for InternetReputation.com, which offers to provide a 'clean, clear online reputation.'" This simply does not equate to significant coverage about InternetReputation.com.

Keep - While the current article isn't very extensive, the two links above show the company is notable and discussed at a reasonable level within the media.

  - Comment. See above comment. The two links do not equate to significant coverage about the subject of this discussion. Accordingly, the threshold for notability through the general notability guidelines has not been established. Best regards, Cindy(need help?) 05:30, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I posted this above, but I want to stress this because this is essentially the reason why primary sources cannot and should not be used as an argument for notability. I'm finding that several of the "media quotes" on the company's website are actually reprints of quotes from press releases printed on various websites. In other words, what looks like coverage is actually them quoting themselves. It seems like none or very few of the websites listed on the company's website actually covered the company and just reprinted press releases. This is not coverage and while it's not exactly like I could send in a PR about clowns eating babies, it's not that hard to get PR printed on the bigger websites as long as you have a connection and enough money. There is no coverage out there and this is actually making me more certain than ever that the website does not pass notability guidelines. It's pretty sleazy to misrepresent quotes on your website. Again, it does not appear that any of these websites have actually covered the company. There is a huge difference between merely reprinting PR and actually giving coverage of the company. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:56, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Perhaps the author used sources from the company as well as the text he wrote himself about the event he is writing about? Two more pages are found that can be used for referencing, together with two existing, and I think we can incorporate these links as sources and achieve general notability guidelines requests, minimal, I agree, but it is there. It is shown that the company is in mugshot removal industry, again, a very "hot" topic in the United States and the rest of the world. --BiH (talk) 08:07, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, press releases are solely and entirely written by the company. In other words, they were written by InternetReputation.com. The thing about notability is that primary sources are never, ever, EVER usable as reliable sources when it comes to the English Wikipedia. Also, the notability of another subject does not mean that this website is notable. (WP:NOTINHERITED) I hate to sound redundant, but several editors have cited this again and again. No amount of primary sources or association with notable concepts will change this. This goes against several of Wikipedia's core rules and concepts. Sometimes these differ on the other Wikipedias, but in the English language Wikipedia we need reliable sources to show notability and we cannot say "oh, well, we all need food to eat so by relation my aunt's restaurant in Queens is totally notable". I don't know how many times we have to say this in order to get the point across. What you're suggesting here is so wrong in so many ways. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:08, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your comment about the PR releases and that they were probably manufactured by InternetReputation.com's website content (or their press releases written internally), there are four credible references on the page, with the potential of a couple more. Rather than discussing the PR releases that we all seem to agree on should have been removed (or at least viewed as poor references), can we move this conversation forward and look at the active references on the article and also other potential references? HawkWatcher (talk) 09:58, 11 April 2013 (UTC) — HawkWatcher (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete: Lack of substantial coverage in multiple independent secondary sources. The sources used rely heavily on the companies own promotion materials and press releases, and thus cannot be considered independent. What coverage there is in independent sources is minimal or tandential. Falls far short of fulfilling hte requirements of our notability guidelines.

Clark Circle[edit]

I seem to recall years ago that someone with a fetish for rotaries wrote tons of articles on them, generally saying nothing but what roads branch off them. For some reason most of them are still here, despite the fact that they're useless. This one doesn't even exist anymore; we literally have an article on an intersection. An intersection of no relevance. At best this should be redirected to the List of traffic circles in New Jersey page (which, for some reason, exists) as it has as much info as this sad excuse for an encyclopedia article.

Merge / Redirect to Clark, New Jersey We have articles for all sorts of things that I don't care about; The question is notability based on coverage in reliable and verifiable sources. We have more than a few articles for buildings, objects and people that no longer exist. The sourced content should be relocated so that it's added to the article for Clark, New Jersey, where the circle is / was located, with a main article reference to List of traffic circles in New Jersey in the article for Clark. This merge / redirect is the same standard that has worked effectively at Flemington, New Jersey and White Horse, New Jersey. Alansohn (talk) 15:54, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your idea of "effective" and mine are quite different. The articles you mentioned look ridiculous, covering the standard topics covered by articles on cities and then, out of nowhere, going into the minutiae of a traffic intersection, covering it as if it were the site of a holy pilgrimage, when in fact, it is a circle of asphalt, the likes of which exist all over the world, and which are of no relevance to anyone but rotary-fetishists. The White Horse, New Jersey article is particularly embarrassing, as the only information it has is on 2 years of census data, and then an entire section on a small section of roadway. Nothing on culture, history, politics, etc., but a section on a completely unremarkable rotary. Honestly, I'd rather see this terrible article kept where no one will see it then merged, where it can pollute another article with its irrelevance. The "sources" on this are laughable as well: local news stories about some future public works projects. Perhaps every time my local newspaper runs a story about repaving jobs in the works, I'll add it to the city's article as well. hat would make for some great reading, eh? This is just plain terrible material. -R. fiend (talk) 20:45, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that the topic is encyclopedic and covered by reliable and verifiable sources.

Speedy Keep If the proposal is for redirection to merger, then propose a redirection or merger, not a deletion. This is an inappropriate use of the deletion nomination process. Since no one seems to actually want the article deleted, including the nominator, the process should be halted. Mathewignash (talk) 11:50, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I want all content in the article removed, considering it's just content forking. Robin (comics) is a different example because there are approximately 9 Robins. There are only two Aqualads though, so per WP:HATNOTE/WP:SIMILAR, the page should go directly to Garth (comics) and use a hatnote that directs to Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm). I'm arguing for the deletion of the current page and replacement with a redirect. If you think that I should have done this myself instead of using AFD, you have a total misunderstanding of the AFD process. The article should be deleted, along with its content and its history. Obviously, the "title" should still be in use for a new redirect page though. Feedback ^☎ 17:29, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article has a longer history than the Garth one. We shouldn't delete that either. Warden (talk) 22:48, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Per what motives should we keep the history? For three years, this was a redirect to Garth (comics). Since "Jackson Hyde", someone decided to turn this redirect into a pseudo-disambiguation page for both characters. That is just silly. Redirecting the page to Garth, and having a hatnote saying "Aqualad redirects here. For the Aqualad (Kaldur'ahm) click here." is more appropriate. Feedback ^☎ 01:28, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hadrianic Society[edit]

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

Seems to be a nice and friendly society, however, there is no evidence of any notability. The references are links to the homepages of similar societies that don't even mention this society, to an obituary of the founder mentioning this society in passing, to the society's own website, and to an item in the British Library catalog. None of this shows that this passes WP:ORG or WP:GNG. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 09:22, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After looking in more detail, I see even less. Some of those "references" have nothing to do with the society. Other things are just name-dropping without a shred of evidence that these people ("benefiting from the membership and speakers, which included many of the leading academics of the Northern British Universities") had anything to do with the society. NOTINHERITED doesn't even come into play: these people have nothing to do here. I'm sorry, but our edits are misguided at best and borderline deceptive. --Randykitty (talk) 22:29, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think we should keep this and watch it for a while longer. Their conferences are regularly listed in the academic conference calendars and by the established archaeological learned societies (ref: http://www.ras.yas.org.uk/page183.html) and appear to be attended by some senior figures. It also figures on a number of academic blogs (eg. Jonathan Eaton amongst many other). I think more information might add to the understanding of the Academic landscape and 'schools' in the North of Britain, which would be useful for outside students trying to understand the arguments and development of ideas in this field, which is very partisan. I believe that would qualify under relevance and notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RomanGaskProject (talk • contribs) 23:04, 8 April 2013 (UTC) — RomanGaskProject (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I still say Keep -- The recetn edits have considerably improved the page. Current archaeology is surely WP:RS. I understand the WP:NOTINHERITED principle. However, I would suggest that an academic society's notability is enhanced by its attracting academic lecturers and having leading academics as founders. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:54, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peter, have another look. Most of the claims are actually not about the society but about the department at Durham and most assertions are not backed up by the sources given... --Randykitty (talk) 18:02, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I very seldom differ from Randy, but this is somewhat of a special case; amateur societies in the UK have had a major role in local history and archaeology, The founders are notable -- this doesn't prove everything they do notable , but it implies a considerable degree of significance, since the society's purposes are so very closely associated with their notable work. DGG ( talk ) 22:27, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Setting aside the various academic arguments and looking at this solely from the perspective of organizational notability, WP:NONPROFIT finds notability based on (a) national or international scope, and (b) independent references for verifications. The independent references are supplied by inclusion of the society's works in various journals / academic listings. The scope of the organization is here focused on a particular historical time and place, but the subject is not of merely local interest, nor is the membership; so this would appear to me to qualify under national or international scope. The organization's longevity is also a factor, and here the organization is 40+ years old. --Lquilter (talk) 23:03, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Liquefaction (disambiguation)[edit]

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

The page Liquefaction (disambiguation) was linked only from liquefaction to disambiguate two topics liquefaction already covers: Soil liquefaction and Liquefaction of gases. I've improved (IMO) liquefaction, and it no longer needs to link to Liquefaction (disambiguation), making Liquefaction (disambiguation) an orphan. Unless Liquefaction (disambiguation) should be redirected to liquefaction, then Liquefaction (disambiguation) ought be deleted in my opinion. Sorry if things got a bit confusing there! Scientific29 (talk) 06:20, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment : nom is proposing:

Liquefaction a WP:DABCONCEPT, ok in principle
- BUT I think it may be too broad - if Soil liquefaction is included (solid acting like a liquid - which is not in the scope of the article with the current lead).
and removing DAB at Liquefaction (disambiguation).
- A hatnote or keeping this DAB for this unrelated (it does not become a liquid but acts like one).
- I would also lean towards keeping the DAB for at least a See also section to liquidate etc.
~~Weak Keep~~ Delete (see update below) due to above. Widefox; talk 10:44, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Widefox. I agree the current lead is insufficient and have added "...refers to the process of becoming liquid or liquid like." to allow soil liquefaction to fall under the scope of the liquefaction article. (I think it makes sense to include soil liquefaction on liquefaction since it is one of the several somewhat idiosyncratic ways "liquefaction" is used, even while having another article for soil liquefaction since it is such an extensively researched topic.) I was unfamiliar with "Broad-concept articles", but that is exactly what I was looking to do with liquefaction.Scientific29 (talk) 23:32, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a reference to support that definition? Widefox; talk 00:11, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, don't mean to be obtuse, but a reference for "...or liquid-like" as a part of the definition of "liquefaction"? Here's one from a USGS website:

"Liquefaction: A process by which water-saturated sediment temporarily loses strength and acts as a fluid, like when you wiggle your toes in the wet sand near the water at the beach. This effect can be caused by earthquake shaking." 1

I think "acts as a fluid" could be paraphrased accurately as "liquid-like". Cheers! Scientific29 (talk) 03:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't clear - I mean a reference to cover both as one (broad) topic, as for me solids acting as liquids (fluids) are not the same topic as liquids. I err on the cautious side without knowing how the soil topic works (and for example how it compares with topics like glass/solid, Non-Newtonian fluids)).

Most dictionaries define "liquefaction" 1 as the process of becoming "liquid". "liquid" then as the physical phase, but also as "of, pertaining to, or consisting of a liquid" 2 thus encompassing both meanings here. I'm new to the concept WP:DABCONCEPT, but doesn't this further allow some leeway in broadening the scope of the article? Scientific29 (talk) 01:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

broad concepts articles aren't easy, but I'm not convinced. My secondary concern right now is the article at Liquefaction is unsourced and looks like a DAB page - without sources I'm tempted to delete it and move the DAB there. Widefox; talk 12:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm increasingly unsure of the best resolution here. Perhaps the current situation would be best: a DAB to direct people to the major, article worthy types of liquefaction and a supporting article on the less article-worthy uses of "liquefaction"? I'm imagining the DAB like:

"Liquefaction generally refers to the formation of a liquid or liquid-like state

Liquefaction more specifically refers to:

soil liquefaction , liquefactive necrosis and liquefaction of gases."

Scientific29 (talk) 23:34, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ We have four articles with "liquefaction" in the title, and a fifth with a closely related word. A disambiguation page is appropriate, in my opinion, in such a situation. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:27, 5 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which four are you referring to? We have soil liquefaction , liquefactive necrosis and liquefaction of gasses. Liquefaction point is a redirect and an obscure term at that 1.

Liquefaction point - redirects and obscurity aside - it is mentioned in the article, so can be included in the DAB per either WP:DABMENTION or WP:DABREDIR. Saying that, it also could be included in the broad concept, so I added it. Widefox; talk 14:23, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update: After seeing how far we've come with the broad concept article, I will update the DAB to remove entries covered by it, which means please reevaluate your !votes above with this, hence my change to delete. Good work Scientific29, I (think) I'm happy with it now, regards. I would like some more eyeballs as I've looked at this too long now. In British English liquidate must come into this somewhere, although I'm uneasy about the scope still. It would be good to close this soon, as the DAB is now empty.

Keep Nominator claims that the article about an Arabic female name "really isn't expandable". For expansion possibities, how about a book called Hispano-Arabic Literature and the Early Provençal Lyrics which talks about "drinking in the lama, the dusky brown colour of the lips which he describes as 'sweet like honey, fresh and pure'." How about A World of Baby Names, which says "Derived from the Arabic lamia (having beautiful, dark lips)". Or, how about Tradition, modernity, and postmodernity in Arabic literature, which says: "The color name lama, referring to the red belonging to dark lips, when morphologically changed to lamya' means the dark green of a tree's shadow." Or this delightful quotation from a book published by New York University just last year: Classical Arabic Literature: A Library of Arabic Literature Anthology, which says, "Ah God! What a river! It flows in the valley, a watering place lovelier than a girl's crimson lips." (emphasis added). Don't such sources both establish notability and allow for expansion?
