Klinton Spilsbury[edit]

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

Non-notable entertainer. This guy appeared in a single film and nothing since. He is currently refusing to comment on pretty much everything. Lots of passing mentions, but the only article I can see with in depth coverage is this which is full of paragraphs that start like "'“Seldom has Hollywood built someone up and then thrown him aside more quickly than Klinton Spilsbury,” says Stephen Collins, who never met Spilsbury but watched from a distance...'" --- i.e. it's hearsay and rumour. The date of birth appears to be unsupported by references. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:01, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, kemo sabe. Spectacular failures who get written about 30 years later aren't a (silver) dime a dozen. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:35, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The non-notability of otherwise low-profile living people known for a single spectacular failure is covered explicitly in WP:BLP1E. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:53, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which states "the significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources." He is, to a lesser degree of course, akin to a Titanic survivor. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:19, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He was the star of a major motion picture in 1981, was on cereal boxes ("Klinton Spilsbury IS The Lone Ranger!!, to which fans of Clayton Moore said WTF??!). He got significant coverage worldwide in the 1980's: Associated Press article about his work after the film was released in 1981, Knight Ridder wire service story about his work in the film 1980, Knight Ridder wire article 1985 about movie failures where he gets his paragraph. Appears to satisfy WP:BIO. See significant coverage in "The Andy Warhol Diaries, 1989, "How I Got to Be Whoever It Is I Am" By Charles Grodin, 2009 . Appears to satisfy WP:BIO, continues as a marvellous failure and a continuing trivia answer. Edison (talk) 04:10, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
merge to The Legend of the Lone Ranger There's almost no biography here; most of the material is description of the production, and the movie is his only "claim" to notability. The very few details about the rest of his life could readily be incorporated in the movie's article. Mangoe (talk) 01:54, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per BLP1E, as Clarityfiend's correctly points out; clearly (and fiendishly!) there is persistent coverage. --GRuban (talk) 02:04, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hah! Clarityfiend (talk) 22:45, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Who was that masked man!? Warden (talk) 21:00, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The sort of prominent individual BLP1E was not designed to cover. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 00:29, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Clarityfiend is right. For BLP1E situations, it all depends on the persistence of coverage. Heck, that's always the main thing discussed in AfDs for them. Do they have it or not? And this individual does, as exhibited by the sources given by others above. So he passes BLP1E for that. Silver seren^C 21:54, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep If this guy is not notable, nobody is. Still discussed decades later by lots of RS. -- cyclopia^speak! 13:12, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

People keep saying this, but I have yet to see any supplied reference which isn't using him as a synecdoche for the movie, which I is why I prefer the merger. Mangoe (talk) 14:09, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AllyD (talk) 06:41, 3 August 2013 (UTC) Edit: I see a CSD G4 was declined as the article is non-identical; however I would expect it to be reasonable that a re-created previously-AfDed article should at least have one reliable 3rd party reference?

Redirect Company only had one meritable production which was a minor award winning film; deserves a mention, which it already has, at the Threat (film) article. Nothing of notable value was made by the company (yet) which would merit it an entire article to itself, especially not one which is filled with supposedly notable person lists and thus makes it read like a promotional article.

Keep United States state legislators are notable and this article should be cleaned up and updated. Thanks-RFD (talk) 21:30, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He's not a US legislator, he's a state one. Some state legislators are elected by as few as 7000 votes, which is completely insignificant in a country of 300 million. Ego White Tray (talk) 22:53, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I created this nomination as a purely procedural matter, but now I'm making my vote. Each seat on the Kansas House of Representatives represents only about 20,000 people. This is an utterly insignificant number, and his seat therefore does not have notability. Unless Jack attains some higher office someday, he isn't notable either. Ego White Tray (talk) 22:56, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment aside from WP:POLITICIAN already being widely accepted, the argument that 20,000 people is "utterly insignificant" is arbitrary. See WP:BIG, which explains that such arbitrary numbers are meaningless in determining Notability. For example, how many would be necessary to be significant? 50,000? 100,000? 342,678? Or 342,679? (Just ONE short of significant. Darn it!)--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:14, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. State legislators are notable per WP:POLITICIAN ("members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature"). The deletion rationale is not valid. The fact that the subject is no longer in office is irrelevant. Notability does not expire. Keeping the page up to date is a matter for editing, not deletion. The population size of the subject's constituency is also not relevant here. • Gene93k (talk) 00:46, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Once notable, always notable. See WP:POLITICIAN. Enos733 (talk) 03:43, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in addition to the reasons above, we normally find that state legislators pass WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:30, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notability is a given, so keep and fix – and especially, elaborate on the "resign or be fired" phrase. – Paine Ellsworth ^CLIMAX! 20:29, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Notable under WP:POLITICIAN as a member of a sub-national legislature. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:45, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, on the "2013: Fitfh studio album" section of the main Beyonce Knowles article, there is an indication that reliable sources are covering the fifth album. I'mjust suggesting a redirect or more info from the reliable sources cited in the main article be included here. Editor Eat ma talk page up, scotty! 01:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll suggest a Weak keep for now because of that. Editor Eat ma talk page up, scotty! 01:34, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - while the sources described in the article aren't reliable, information exists for this topic in sources generally respected as reliable, and easily found by typing in 'beyonce's next album' or 'beyonce's new album', and already listed on Beyoncé_Knowles. these include MTV, billboard, vogue and rolling stone. the topic is therefore notable. WP:NALBUMS includes a provision for the inclusion of unreleased materials that are verifiable, which, while not entirely relevant, i believe should infer that the verifiable information on this topic should justify it's inclusion under the spirit of this criteria. because the example for WP:TOOSOON refers to media specific guidelines for notability, i believe the prior justification extends to this criteria as well. this means any deletions should be justified by WP:NOT or perhaps an argument that the information is better suited to inclusion on beyoncés main page. I believe the latter argument is inappropriate because it would require a merge-unmerge process once we get a name, while keeping it in a separate, vaguely named article would ease the transition once a name is found. As for WP:NOT, the boundary between reliable source information and reliable source speculation is pretty thin, and I am making an individual decision that the extant information is the former. romnempire (talk) 18:58, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: WP:NHOCKEY stipulates that coaches can qualify, but as if they were players. Players in college hockey fall under criterion #4, which accords presumptive notability for "Achieved preeminent honours (all-time top ten career scorer, First Team All-Star, All-American) in a lower minor league such as the Central Hockey League or the United Hockey League, in a major junior league such as those of the Canadian Hockey League, or in a major collegiate hockey league (Note: merely playing in a major junior league or major collegiate hockey is not enough to satisfy inclusion requirements)" Being an assistant coach for many years, even for a major program such as BC, isn't enough; being NCAA Coach of the Year would. Cavanaugh's notability, therefore, would solely hinge on whether he meets the GNG. Ravenswing 16:51, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I think this is a list of villages with a significant number of people with the name 'Rao' or a related ancestry. Probably some bloke trying to do genealogy. With that suspicion, I also found this Rao_(surname), by the same author. I'm not going to propose deletion of that (thought it might be worth it), because that might be justification for a sitewide purge of surname pages, which I'm not willing to commit to, but there you go.

Ronge Fils pistol[edit]

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

I tired to find more about this pistol (see talk page), but I wasn't able to turn up much. Basically we have just some photos plus a comment "What a strange resemblance to the FN 1900!!!" on a website as sources. This company was doing what the modern-day re-branding companies do: bought stuff from others and relabeled them. So it's going to be pretty hard to figure out what this is. There are some sources about the company itself, which probably should get a page, but this particular gun (in the photo) isn't covered anywhere I've looked.

Despite its appearance, the Ronge Fils functions as a standard double-action-only revolver. It holds extra ammunition in the pistol grip which must be removed and then inserted into the revolver cylinders to fire. It was chambered to fire .32 S&W cartridges, not .32 ACP. At the very least, the information in the article should be corrected. However, this firearm does not meet Wikipedia general notability guideline as it has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources" (key word: "significant"). As such, I would not oppose deletion.--RAF910 (talk) 21:52, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The photos show "7.65" imprinted on it. I'm guessing there may have been more than one version with different chambering. On the other hand, I was unable to spot any sign in the photos that this is an automatic revolver (for the wider audience of this AfD: that means it has to rotate the cylinder using the energy of the cartridge rather than that coming from the trigger pull), which is why I tagged that word with ^{[citation needed]}. I think the user who create this article added that info based on his hunch rather than some clear evidence; he has a history of adding incorrect info like that. Someone not using his real name (talk) 07:26, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Since the .32 ACP (aka 7.65 Browning) is a semi-rimmed cartridge while .32 S&W is rimmed, I suppose you're right that round for this revolver would be the rimmed one. Someone not using his real name (talk) 08:32, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:GNG and precedent. Ansh6 6 6 00:06, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, this gun might actually have something in common with the Landstad revolver (Landstad 1900) We don't know until some sources are found. Squinting at the photo here, the Ronge Fils doesn't seem to have any mechanism for getting the rounds from the handgrip magazine into the chamber, though.

Heaven (Fits of Gloom song)[edit]

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

Only sources are a discog listing, which is only proves it exists, and a confirmation of its chart position. To say a song is notable just because it charted is a misinterpretation of WP:NSONGS. Its first sentence states, "Songs and singles are probably notable if they have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." One criteria that may make a song notable is that it ranks on a significant chart, but there is no other coverage of that fact and no other reliable sources about the song itself. If the only thing that can be shown is that the song charted, the article fails WP:NSONGS. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:07, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note that a redirect is probably what is in order here per the requirements of WP:NSONGS: "Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album." However, my attempt to do so was reverted but I have no objection to deletion since relevant info is in the Fits of Gloom article. But if this can be expanded to merit a standalone article, I'm all for that too. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as article creator and per "have been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label" - I consider the Official Chart Company page non-trivial and Discogs enough information to take it over the edge of redirection. There is sourced information here not on the artist's page.--Laun chba ller 19:02, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage on the OCC page consists of the title and one line of text. Discogs is a primary source and not evidence of notability. Peter James (talk) 08:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. Only because my name has been mentioned! I moved it because it was recent and deserved time to mature as an article (in my opinion), but I can fully appreciate the nominator's rationale for bringing here. At present it is NOT a song article, it is a discography entry, and as such it will always fail WP:NSONGS. NSONGS says a song may become notable if has charted, not that charting is notable! That means a song article should have information about the song above and beyond information relating to the format (single!) i.e. some information about the song, the music, the lyrics, critical reception. --Richhoncho (talk) 10:24, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Richhoncho: just to clarify, the stuff that's on the song page but not the artist page isn't enough to take it over the edge?--Laun chba ller 17:01, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A look at WP:SONGS will help you. Cheers. --Richhoncho (talk) 18:03, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect Not notable. It got to #47 in the UK. That's a rather generous definition of "charted", since mainstream media in the UK only focuses on the Top 40 at most. There's no other claim for notability: discogs.org is user-generated content[2] and the other sources are exceptionally short. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:40, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I disagree with you there Mentoz, LISTN only indicates notability if the list has been discussed at length in independant reliable sources "as a group". I don't see any indication that football transfers in Kenya in 2012 has received anywhere near the required level of coverage as an overall subject. Given the list is also full of non-notable / redlinked players, it is hard to see how this list could serve even the most basic of navigational purposes either.

Delete Hoax or not, when no sources exist an article shouldn't have been made. Beerest355 Talk 18:08, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The sole reference cited is not remotely a reliable source. References to anyone by this name in English are essentially nil; Russian language references (as Анатолий Иванович Бирюков) typically share the same wording as the reference and clearly originate from the same initial source. In fact, I am not convinced the person in this article existed at all. There are considerable reference to an Alexsandr Biryukov, who shot his commanding officer to death after some two years of sexual harassment; he was sentenced to death, but that sentence was ultimately reduced, and finally pardoned. He is most certainly not the person this article describes! On the other hand, the name Анатолий Иванович Бирюков does appear in the 2000 work of fiction Остаться в живых (Staying Alive) by Ян Валетов (Ian Jacks). In all, I'm not able to say with certainty whether this is a hoax or not, although the evidence makes that likely, but I can say that it does not remotely approach the obligations for inclusion of these sort of claims. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 18:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It's pretty clear you don't understand a word of Russian and are using Google Translate, because you have just translated Valetov (a personal name) as "Jacks", which was pretty amusing, and is exactly what Google Translate does with this name. Egads, beware teh wiki experts ... Someone not using his real name (talk) 22:45, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - You are correct that I do not speak Russian, but that doesn't make me incapable of evaluating the reliability of sources, nor searching for references. I remain convinced that murders.ru is not in any sense a reliable source, and the confirmation below that they intentionally doctor information (purportedly as a copyright trap) only reinforces that opinion. Likewise, I am dubious about citing any true crime semi-documentary as a reliable source, regardless of the language involved. On the other hand, while Фёдор Ибатович Раззаков evidently has something of a reputation for yellow journalism, I don't see any compelling reason to question the veracity of his book. Primarily on the grounds of that source and the cleanup that's been made to the article, I'm striking my objection. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 16:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Thank you. Even I have difficulty finding additional references for this (that would pass WP:RS beyond the shadow of a doubt). Most of the Russian books and [print] newspapers, especially older ones, are not indexed by Google in any way. I doubt that murders.ru and the 2008 book are the first print accounts of this. User:Зейнал has now found an entry in an on-line database (indexing the proceedings of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR) of Biryukov's appeal of his death sentence. It's a 71-page document according to this database, but the full text is not on-line. But I think we have to contend ourselves with sources that are only somewhat reliable for the time being. Otherwise we'd have to delete articles like Vera Renczi, which basically have zero truly reliable sources [confirming the case], but are supported WP:GNG-wise by dozens of Western "true crime" books. At least in Biryukov's case, we can confirm from primary, official sources that he existed and was sentenced to death. (Also, Biryukov's name is pretty common in Russian. It's like searching for a "John Wolf" or something similarly common in English.) Someone not using his real name (talk) 14:53, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    - The murders.ru article does not say Biryukov was gay, nor does it discuss homosexuality in relation to him. That article discusses several other Soviet serial criminals (and not necessarily murderers); coverage of Biryukov actually begins on the bottom of the previous page of the multi-page article. What you saw there was discussion of a serial rapist by the name of Sergei Dmitrievich Grigoriev (Григорьев, Сергей Дмитриевич) who operated in Leningrad not Moscow and targeted 13-15 year old girls; it's only there that the article says something about homosexuality possibly having been a factor for Grigoriev because he only sought anal and oral sex (but not vaginal), thus it was hypothesized he was looking for "passive homosexual partners".

I can clarify. I wrote to the site murders.ru. Here's what they wrote (in Russian):

Site Murders.ru specifically distorts information to combat plagiarism. The special star (*) in the corner of a page talking about it http://www.murders.ru/internet_versya.html. Зейнал (talk) 14:47, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If I may clarify what this is about.

On the forum which User:Alex Bakharev mentioned above, a number of people noted the discrepancy between the family and initial arrest photos in which Anatoly Biryukov appears on NTV and the photo (priorly) circulating on the internet, which is apparently also him but shortly before his execution. I agree too that the discrepancy is not that big. In the NTV photos Anatoly Biryukov appears clearly obese (photos go down to his beer gut). It's not impossible that he lost two dozen kilograms between his arrest (Oct. 1977) and execution (1979). I doubt they would have treated him very well in a Soviet prison. Anyway, there is no freely available photo include here, so this dispute is not particularly relevant to the English Wikipedia.
Another discrepancy noted on that Russian forum was that the middle/father name of Biryukov differs between NTV and murders.ru. Алексей Пшунетлёв, the author of murders.ru (who has also published some books on other famous murders in the USSR, but I don't know if any of his books cover Biryukov) has clarified on the ruwiki talk page that he changed the middle name of Biryukov on his website in order to "catch plagiarists". Indeed Biryukov's middle name is not given in the 2008 book by Раззаков (this you can verify easily) or in the NTV show, as far as I can remember (although the latter discusses his father). Again not an issue because until someone thought to copy that info blindly here [14] (note that it doesn't match the name as give in Latin transliteration).
Finally, Алексей Пшунетлёв complained that the NTV show omitted to mention or discuss the sexual aspect of the murder-kidnappings. (I can confirm this is the case, after watching the show.) This aspect is not mentioned in the 2008 book by Раззаков either. I suppose this is one issue on which we may need attribution "according to Alexei Pshunetlev..." Пшунетлёв also berated NTV for mentioning that the father of Biryukov was a war-decorated Soviet general, saying they shouldn't have done that. Пшунетлёв challenged the relevance, not the factual validity, of this info. The NTV show, in the last few minutes does suggest that Biryukov father's public image may have been a reason why the Soviet authorities have done their best to avoid publicizing the case. (In general the NTV show has been criticized by sources such as Sovetskaya Rossiya for its alleged "anti-Soviet" stance and for "harming Russia's image". You can read that on the show page in Russian Wikipedia -- you may need to look through its history tab if you are logged in, the fringe criticism was removed somewhat recently, but those edits have not been approved.)
In 2010, some anonymous guy with the handle "onalimo" said (on the Russian forum indicated by User:Alex Bakharev) that he (onalimo) sent an official request to the "Сербского" institute where the mental health of Biryukov was allegedly examined (the 2008 book mentions this too "Поскольку зверства, которые совершил Бирюков, нормальному человеку не совершить, маньяка отправили на психиатрическую экспертизу в Институт имени Сербского.") before his trial. "Onalimo" said he received an official reply that there are no records of the examination. He did not provide any concrete evidence to support his claim (like a photo of a letter). Also, "onalimo" has two posts total on that forum, both of them in that thread. Even if it is true that there are no records of Biryukov's mental health exam at that particular institute I don't think this is some smoking gun that the rest of the sources are making a hoax. (The institute appears to be the Serbsky Center. The 2012 NTV show includes interviews with two eye witnesses, the mother of one of the victims, two state investigators, and Biryukov's former lawyer, but no mental health experts, so the NTV show crew may have been unable to track down any such mental health records of Biryukov as well.)

But I respect that our opinions may differ. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 06:32, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Andrewman327 What WP:SYNTH? Can you point out a specific example? SYNTH prohibits using sources for different facts to draw some conclusion not found in the sources. It doesn't prohibit using multiple sources for the same facts. There is complete agreement between the two (print/web) sources cited in the article that the first two kidnappings occurred on Sep 16 and Sep 19 respectively. There are however some minor differences between these two sources in how other dates are given. For example, murders.ru gives the date as when the body of the 2nd victim was found as "mid-October", while the book says Oct. 17. The other way around, murdrers.ru says the attempt in Chekov was foiled on Oct 21, while the book says only it was in October. But these minor differences are actually a good thing, it shows these sources are independent of each other; they didn't just copy one another. As for the locations, there is complete agreement between the two print/web sources that the 2nd kidnapping occurred at "Children's World", on Prospekt Mira. The NTV even filmed at this location (which is now a different type of store.) As for the location of the first kidnapping, the book says it happened at an infant formula store on "Biryuzov street" ("улице Бирюзова"). And murders.ru puts the disappearance at a store of that same kind on Marshal Biruzov street. If you can find another "Biryuzov street" in Moscow, let me know. The book doesn't say precisely on which street is the building in which the body of the baby was later found on that day. (And neither does our article. I conservatively left this out.) However, both murders.ru and the NTV agree this was also on Marshal Biryuzov street; NTV even filmed outside and inside the building. We can further discuss these issues on the talk page. But it's unreasonable to ask the article to be deleted because of things like this, per "AfD is not clean-up" (WP:SURMOUNTABLE). If you want more precise footnotes, I can accommodate that, but the article will probably have footnotes after every few words in that case. This is rather unreasonable. There are plenty of FA articles which don't have that. Someone not using his real name (talk) 10:17, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

C.D. Graneros Unido[edit]

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

This amateur-level football club has little reliable sources. A simple search shows very little coverage of this club. There are no records of participation in professional football. It fails WP:GNG. MicroX (talk) 23:45, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following amateur-level Chilean football clubs.

They have similar issues as C.D. Graneros Unido. They have no reliable sources and have not reached a professional division. --MicroX (talk) 04:39, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw the nomination for the older clubs: C.D. Graneros Unido, Defensor Casablanca, and Lautaro de Buin. However, the remaining clubs were more recently founded and remain unsourced. --MicroX (talk) 21:26, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Some of these teams are a century old. I can't believe that a team would be around that long, in a country as crazy about football as Chile, without having been the subject of significant coverage in reliable sources. Much of the coverage is likely to be in off-line sources, but here are some examples I found: [15][16][17]. Also note that, despite being amateur teams, Sky Bet and Paddy Powers seem to accept wagers on their matches. I feel that that's an indication of notability.

    - Not all the clubs are that old and most of the listed clubs lack sources and notability, especially the younger clubs that were founded in the 2000s that have yet to reach a professional division. --MicroX (talk) 20:34, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think it might be better if the remaining clubs were listed individually, as they will have different characteristics.

Comment: none of the problems listed by the nominator are sounds reasons for deletion. It is a problem that the article in question has no references to independent, reliable sources to establish the subject's notability, and it's not clear that notability could be established even if someone sought out such references.

I see no reason to believe that this online publication is notable by our standards. The article attempts notability via namedropping of various kinds, first with a list of people whose work they have published, but that doesn't automatically make the medium notable (and, let's face it, they're not publishing Finnegan's Wake here, it's real short stuff); and second, with some resume-dropping on behalf of the editors (note that the last two "references" function that way. But without any secondary coverage at all there is no ground for accepting the subject's notability. Note also that I have removed a chunk of "information" that was really quite promotional, including a sizeable linkfarm. Oh, and there's an obvious COI in the history.

Beyond the Poet’s Guide, there are numerous other useful resources for delving

into the world of haiku. For those wishing to further explore the genre, The Haiku

Anthology (van den Heuvel, 1999) now in a 3rd expanded edition, provides a

excellent overview of some of the better haiku being written today. ...

On the World Wide Web there are too many relevant websites to mention even a

goodly percentage of them. However, for a daily shot of haiku, one may turn to

www.tinywords.com. The site features a poem of the day, which one may read at the

site or receive via email by signing up for the free service. Haiku on tinywords are

generally good, although they aren’t always up to the standards of Gurga or of the

Anthology.

Among periodicals, Modern Haiku, publishes the most consistently high quality

haiku and is a place to keep up with haiku developments through its many reviews

and articles. The magazine also publishes guidelines for contests for adults and teens.

For a highly contemporary style of haiku with an edge, a good source is Raw Nervz

out of Canada. Haiku in Raw Nervz are as likely to be about sex or the urban

nightlife as they are about quiet contemplation in nature. Many haiku poets publish

in both magazines, indicating that while Raw Nervz is ‘‘out there’’ in terms of

attitude, it’s still well respected in the haiku community.

There's also a very Brief mention in The National (Abu Dhabi) [22].

Comment I'm glad there's actually discussion happening on this topic, rather than summary deletions, as has happened in the past. I have contributed edits to the tinywords entry in the past because I know more about the subject than most. However, I'm refraining from editing the article at this point because of conflicts of interest. I will say this: I believe tinywords is significant because it is a long-standing publication of haiku and short verse, it reaches a larger audience than many comparable journals (eg Frogpond and Modern Haiku), and is a pioneer in digital literary journal publishing. However, over the years various Wikipedia editors have contested the legitimacy of the tinywords entry, deleting the main entry, as well as expunging any mention of it in other pages. There seems to be something vindictive about these deletions, and some of them seem to be part of an edit war between the user "Bagworm" and other individuals. But as I'm not a regular Wikipedia editor, and I have an obvious conflict of interest in any case, there is little I can do about it. I am stumped about how to proceed. For instance, on the circulation figures -- currently over 3,000 subscribers -- I have no way of demonstrating the factual nature of that figure other than to point to the ongoing documentation of it that I've posted on the tinywords site for years. As for notability: There are references to tinywords on the web, in online forums, and in print journals, often links from people whose work have been published there, or complaints from people whose work was rejected. It clearly exists. It is clearly a literary journal with a wide readership and a large body of contributors, many of whom are significant in the haiku world in their own right. I'm not sure what else I can do but state my case, ask others to weigh in, and let Wikipedia take its course. Dtweney (talk) 16:26, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete Thanks for your input, DT. Your candidness is appreciated. (Please take a look at Wikipedia:Notability to get an idea of what's actually needed.) Of the further 4 references supplied by SNUHRN, the first is behind a paywall, and the others don't really come near being "significant coverage". Unless something substantially stronger comes up, logic dictates deletion of the article. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 17:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have assumed above that people can check out the sources already included in the article, so I did not mention those, which mainly consist of a short story [24] in Silicon Valley Business Journal and a catalog-like entry in a publication by Haiku Society of America.

Comment Drmies wrote: "they're not publishing Finnegan's Wake here, it's real short stuff". I don't think this comment is relevant. The length of a poem has no correlation with its significance. If it did, there'd be no entry for Matsuo Basho. --Dtweney (talk) 21:21, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Drmies also said he removed a "sizeable linkfarm." In the process he's also deleted many details about tinywords that help explain its significance, such as references to the fact that tinywords publishes via SMS (one of the first literary journals to do so) and RSS (ditto), as well as its i-Mode and Avantgo versions. I'm not adding them back -- in fact I am not the person who put those links in there in the first place -- but the edit has the effect of making the entry look less significant. It seems to me that the argument about significance should take place here on this discussion page, not via edits to the article in question, shouldn't it? Or is that not how things are done on Wikipedia? --Dtweney (talk) 21:40, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per lack of notability and lack of substantial coverage in independent reliable sources.

Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:21, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Andrew, in fairness, that "wall of text" was posted in response to my request for further info regarding a reference that was hidden behind a paywall. The editor is relatively inexperienced and did apologise upfront for the formatting. Of course I agree with you about the "get a life" attack. --gråb whåt you cån (talk) 23:33, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks. My admittedly big "wall of text" is an effort to put the citation in context. The point being: At least one academic paper thought tinywords significant enough to merit a mention -- the only online journal mentioned -- along with some significant print journals & books of haiku. As for the "get a life" attack, I agree; I have no idea who posted that. --Dtweney (talk) 23:39, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment "there's an obvious COI in the history" according to Drmies. I assume that's referring to edits I've made several times over the years. I will point out that my edits have always been relatively minor. I was not the creator of this entry, nor have I been its primary editor over the 6 or 7 years it has existed. Therefore, the COI is irrelevant to the discussion of notability. If the COI is a problem, you can delete any of my contributions. But the entry's notability should be judged independent of those contributions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dtweney (talk • contribs) 19:49, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit concerned that the initial reason given for deletion appears to suggest some contempt for the haiku form ("let's face it, they're not publishing Finnegan's Wake here, it's real short stuff").

  - Andrew, respectfully, Paul's comment is not a personal attack. He was pointing out that the person who started this page cited a point which indicates contempt for haiku and very short poems. Since the legitimacy of the haiku entry is not in question, it seems fair to point out that such comments are not only irrelevant, but may sway this discussion unfairly. Earlier, you complained about my citing of a source requested by another user. I think you need to allow the discussion to happen. --Dtweney (talk) 04:10, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are at least 9 independent sources, listed above, referring to tinywords' significance and notability, including two academic journals, several mainstream regional newspapers, and one major tech blog (Mashable). I have an obvious COI (I used to edit tinywords and still publish it) but I see nothing in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion or Wikipedia:Conflict of interest that prevents me from expressing a vote here as long as I'm aboveboard, which I have been in every edit and comment. Also, please note that the majority of my edits to this discussion and to the tinywords page have been to add links to independent sources. Dtweney (talk) 23:31, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Found this reference to tinywords in a Modern Haiku essay. I believe it speaks to the notability of tinywords. In addition, I'd just like to add that tinywords is unique in its delivery system inasmuch as the interactive feature. Comments range from a handful per day to hundreds, depending on the post. We publish haiku and other small poems. Essentially, the standard form of communication on social networking sites is short form. We are being asked to communicate using fewer and fewer words. Of course, there is a long tradition of short verse in this country as well as in Japan. tinywords is unique in its longevity (founded in 2000) and its scope. I find that too often people confuse short verse with light verse. One of our goals at tinywords is to encourage and support the thoughtful construction of poems, one word at a time. http://www.modernhaiku.org/essays/AmHaikuMovement2.html … #tinywords — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Newton (talk • contribs) — Peter Newton (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

It seems pretty obvious that the above is a meatpuppet. I'm not sure if it qualifies as "outing" to point out that someone with the same name as the above SPA either is or was an editor on tinywords and might know Mr. Tweney personally.[29] The article he links to briefly mentions the website along with numerous others that don't seem to have stand-alone Wikipedia articles, so it actually speaks to the non-notability of the subject if anything.

Delete Going through all the references, it appears that almost all are blogs of uncertain reliability, homepages of involved persons, links to sites that don't even mention this publication (I have removed those), and one (1) article in the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal, which (even if it is a reliable source, which I find doubtful) is not sufficient to meet WP:GNG. --Randykitty (talk) 17:02, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just for the record: the website publisher just added several sources to the article. In my opinion, none of these in-passing mentions establish notability and I see no need to change my !vote. --Randykitty (talk) 17:32, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Journal of Poetry Therapy: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Practice, Theory, Research and Education. 17 (1): 45–48. doi:10.1080/08893670410001698550.; (2) the paragraph in College & Research Libraries News, Volume 64) contain only a passing reference to the web site. The topic does not appear to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject (WP:GNG). --Edcolins (talk) 20:42, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As the person who originally redirected the article (note: despite the persistent accusations of several users, I did not -- and can not -- "unilaterally delete" the page) my opinion on this page should be obvious.[31] Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and doesn't provide free advertising to poetry websites. Why is it that all of the "Wikipedia editors" who argue in favour of these kind of pages turn out to be people with a very close connection to the subject?

Comment I have conducted every single edit & comment to this discussion in good faith. I've always been aboveboard about my connection to tinywords and have made every effort to learn Wikipedia's rules and community standards. But it now seems clear that this discussion is motivated by something other than a dedication to facts. Despite the many sources named here, a group of editors seems bent on voting for deletion regardless of sourcing. I can't win, so I'm no longer going to make any effort to defend the article.

List of international Melbourne Victory players[edit]

Unnecessary fork from List of Melbourne Victory players. No sourced prose at all and no attempt to indicate why international Melbourne victory players are notable. Seems to contravene WP:NOT#STATS.

Melbourne Victory Notable Players[edit]

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

The inclusion criteria given is so vague that the list consists solely of OR. Openly states that there are players who have played less than 50 matches and also includes others who have made vague unspecified "significant contributions". Furthermore this list seems to be an unnecessary fork from the club article. I removed this list from the club article originally for the reasons above plus the club article already has tables related to top appearances and goals so seems duplication. Essentially this page is WP:CRUFT. Fenix down (talk) 13:12, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: A POV list of "notable" players. SL93 (talk) 23:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The editor who created this article had previously tried to include this content in the Melbourne Victory FC article. It was removed and it was explained to him that much clearer criteria are required. Rather than addressing that issue, he has just created this article, with exactly the same content, AND the same problems as his addition to the other article. This is both a pointless, POV, fan drive article, and a demonstration that an editor is trying to avoid a consensus reached elsewhere. It demonstrates very bad faith. I must also add that it should be unnecessary for all the material on the Talk page of the article to be repeated here in order to get rid of this nonsense. Contentious editors should not be able to force volunteer editors working in good faith to do even more work. HiLo48 (talk) 02:33, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of the cited sources has anything to do with the subject of the article: the first source is not even a mathematical source, and the second source has something about circular binary sequences (a one-dimensional object), not toroidal binary matrices (a two-dimensional object).

Delete I agree with Chris857 that the math object described seems closest to a De Bruijn torus; it seems also related to m-sequences and Gray codes. But I could find no mention of a 'Binatorix' outside of a single personal Google page; the name seems made up. There are no reliable sources to establish Binatorix as a valid search term for a redirect. The synthesis of this with the Borges story also seems original research. Because of the near nonexistence of this topic, I will recommend 'delete' rather than 'redirect'. The 'binatorix' entry in List of matrices should also be deleted. --Mark viking (talk) 19:23, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no redirect. (0,1)-matrices are certainly important, and toroidal (0,1)-matrices (the apparent subject of this article) do come up in some circumstances such as the simulation of cellular automata as well as the aforementioned de Bruijn tori. But the title, and the entire current contents of the article, seem to be a violation of WP:NEO and WP:NOR. I don't think a redirect is appropriate, both because the title doesn't appear anywhere in the scientific literature and because de Bruijn tori are a somewhat different concept (they don't have to be binary and they do have to have the property of containing all square submatrices of a given size, something that doesn't seem to be true of the subject of this article). —David Eppstein (talk) 20:55, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Death of the Bytyqi brothers[edit]

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

A largely unnotable, albeit tragic case. As dozens of similar cases occurred during the war, the article fails Wikipedia:Notability. Within the first few weeks of their arrival, this BBC article says that as many as 16 Albanian American volunteers were killed in Kosovo. If so many were being killed then what makes these 3 so special in the wider context of the war? 23 editor (talk) 22:39, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notability argument does not support deletion in case of the topic of this article because it actually is notable because it "has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Three USA citizens have been killed. USA government, directly or through its embassy in Belgrade, put significant efforts into this case. The BBC article does not say that all 16 volunteers killed in Kosovo were Albanian Americans. On the contrary, it emphasizes that "Ethnic Albanians are leaving their jobs across Europe and the United States to return to their homeland." Even if the other 13 came from USA they were probably not USA citizens, otherwise USA government would deal with them too.--Antidiskriminator (talk) 12:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with you. Not every incident in which US citizens are killed merits a Wikipedia article. 23 editor (talk) 13:19, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I failed to see why death of 3 USA citizens is more important than death of any other citizen from some other country. Also, i agree that notability of this is questionable.

Roland McGrath[edit]

Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Googling suggests they don't exist. Sources offered are all WP:PRIMARY or otherwise unsuitable. Msnicki (talk) 14:29, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He's one of the original authors of three programs (GNU Make, the GNU C Library, and GNU Hurd) that have WP articles, and are evidently notable. He's listed as an author of the manuals for all three. Richard Stallman cites him as the author of the GNU C library in Stallman's essay published in Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution.
I added a reference to article to the LWN.net article about utrace, citing McGrath as developer. It's a real article written by LWN staff, not a reprinted mail message. There are four such articles: [33], [34], [35], and [36]. I believe that's significant coverage in a reliable source independent of the subject. --Jimblandy (talk) 01:48, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No one (or at least, not me) disputes that he did the work but notability isn't WP:INHERITED. Even if some of his programs are notable, that doesn't mean he is automatically notable. It's not sufficient to argue he should be notable because, after all, look at what he wrote. The only question at AfD is whether there are WP:INDEPENDENT WP:RELIABLE WP:SECONDARY sources to establish that he's notable as required by WP:GNG. The sources you've cited are insufficient. Stallman is the leader of the FSF and of the GNU project and isn't independent. The other citations you've offered are basically blog posts (what we call an WP:SPS) and, as such, can't qualify as reliable because there's no editorial control. Different editors may interpret the guidelines somewhat differently but the usual gold standard for establishing notability is a couple thousand-word articles about the subject in recognized publications with reputations for fact-checking and editorial control by authors with no connection to the subject. We don't have that here. Msnicki (talk) 00:00, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Re WP:INHERITED: I've read that, and I don't think I'm making one of those arguments. If three books are notable, surely the author of those books is notable. The rules for WP:BAND say that the appearance a band's music in a country's top lists makes the band notable. Oughtn't a similar relation hold for software?

Re LWN: Blogs can have the sorts of editorial standards that matter here, and I believe Linux Weekly News does. LWN is one of the most reliable sources of news for people following the technical development of the Linux kernel. Jimblandy (talk) 02:02, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If McGrath is notable, it would be because of the software he has written; he is not a major author or researcher. Wikipedia's policies for creative professionals (WP:CREATIVE) answer the question directly, requiring that significant or well-known works confer notability on their creator (assuming one agrees that programmers are creative professionals); this is not an WP:INHERITED issue. To be clear: most significant or well-known software has many contributors (as does McGrath's), and not all those contributors are notable. However, McGrath is recognized as the original or primary author of the projects mentioned. Jimblandy (talk) 04:29, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not enough under WP:CREATIVE that the subject is the original author of any of his works. It also requires, the work be "a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" or that it has either "(a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums."' There's no way the GNU C lib or GNU Make qualifies (they're just copies of earlier works by others) and he only just worked on the other stuff. Msnicki (talk) 07:53, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

GNU Make is not merely a derivative of the original Make. GNU Make is often considered the canonical modern version of Make. When people choose to cite Make at all, they often cite GNU Make. For example:
- Topic of thesis by Ludwig Hähne, Empirical Comparison of SCons and GNU Make, Großer Beleg (which I understand to mean "Bachelor's thesis"), Technical University Dresden.
- Cited by Stephan Douglas Craven, Structured Approach to Dynamic Computing Application Development, PhD. thesis, Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
- Cited by Joshi, Kakade, Trivedi, [NODE LISTING BASED GLOBAL DATA FLOW ANALYSIS http://freya.cs.uiuc.edu/~rujoshi/bereport.pdf], Bachelor of Engineering Project Report, University of Pune.
- Cited by Rohan Drape, Rule-following, Precompositional Environments, Master of Arts Thesis, La Trobe University.

  Jimblandy (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The discussion as above cites pretty much everything why the article should not be maintained, subject is not notable and notability is not inherit, making an important software or a bunch of them does not confer notability, also there is a requirement in the academic field for having an article, which subject does not meet as well. Eduemoni ^↑talk↓ 20:36, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Please avoid repeating arguments. As explained above, inheritance is not claimed. The only plausible basis for notability is WP:CREATIVE, which establishes that the creator of works meeting certain criteria is notable. It's reasonable to argue whether his work meets those criteria, but you haven't presented any reasons. If you feel that the GNU C Library and GNU Make page and section should also be deleted, then certainly McGrath's page should go as well; but let's hear those arguments.

- Can a programmer's work confer notability? If not, then we agree McGrath is not notable. But I think it should, for the same reason that an author's works, a band's songs, or a composer's pieces confer notability on their creator. People find the creators of artifacts that are of great significance to them interesting. This is the essence of WP:CREATIVE.
- Is McGrath's work, in fact, sufficiently valuable? If not, then we agree McGrath is not notable. Here there is more room for debate. Msnicki points out that both GNU C Library and GNU Make are expansions of prior work, and thus considers them not to meet WP:CREATIVE's criteria. I think his work is sufficiently notable. They are widely used. They are cited by scholarly works. And they have Wikipedia articles (or, in the case of GNU Make, a section). Jimblandy (talk) 22:51, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject passes WP:CREATIVE, criterion 3: he has a significant body of work and is coauthor of a number of well-known works. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:47, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That section requires the work must have "been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." How-to books don't count. What sources do you rely on? Msnicki (talk) 13:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is it your contention that GNU Make, the GNU C Library, and the GNU Hurd have not been the subject of independent reviews? I just took this as given, but I am willing to argue against that point if you really want to hang your hat on it. Sławomir Biały (talk) 13:28, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. There are lots of how-to books about using the GNU tools but these are not reviews. What WP:CREATIVE asks is that the work is of such import that it has spawned serious discussion of the subject's ideas and influence. That's not satisfied by a regurgitation of the syntax for Make. Msnicki (talk) 13:53, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your narrow view of WP:CREATIVE would exclude things like reference books about the subject (of which there are a number), a position I'm not sure I agree with. But even accepting this viewpoint, there are many many reviews of GNU tools available. Here is a review of GNU Hurd published in an ACM journal. Linux journal has a review from 1994. These references just scratch the surface. Sławomir Biały (talk) 14:48, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The subject worked on Hurd. He didn't write the thing. It's doubtful the article even mentions his name. (No, I'm not buying the article to find out. But you can, if you think it'll prove me wrong.) And the Linux Journal article isn't a review, it's a how-to article in largely how-to journal. That's why the title is, "Introduction to the GNU C Library". Msnicki (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there are entire books written on GNU Make: e.g., "GNU Make Unleashed". Sławomir Biały (talk) 16:08, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And how much does it have to say about Roland McGrath? Click the link for "how-to". At best, these sources establish notability of GNU Make. Just because the subject wrote something notable doesn't make him notable; that's not what WP:CREATIVE intended or they'd have said it. Msnicki (talk) 16:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He's a principal coauthor of GNU Make and the GNU C Library, with rms, and also one of the principal architects of GNU Hurd. The WP:CREATIVE policy states: "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." This is obviously the case. There is no provision that books like "GNU Make Unleashed" are disqualified, nor of the review article "Introduction to the GNU C Library". The GNU Hurd article I already referenced is also an independent review (others are available to choose from, e.g., Jerry Epplin, "Inside Debian Hurd", Dr Dobb's Journal of Software Tools, 25(12):21-26, December 2000). Entire books on Glibc include "GLIBC: A Comprehensive Reference to GNU/LINUX libC" published by MacMillan and "GNU C Library Application Fundamentals" published by the FSF, and "Glibc: a comprehensive reference to GNU/Linux libC" (by Jeff Garzik) published by New Riders Publishing (2000). O'Reilly has a book "Managing Projects with GNU Make". These clearly point to the significance of the subject's collective body of work, and the requirements of WP:CREATIVE#3 quoted above are amply met. I'm not sure where you get the idea that WP:CREATIVE didn't say that a subject isn't notable if his collective body of work is significant—that's precisely what it says. Sławomir Biały (talk) 23:14, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Commons sibi (talk) 04:44, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move to user's personal space for development per WP:USERFY. This article should exist, it should have this name, and it should not be renamed to to either "Women's" or "Human rights in India". However, this article is not ready for the main space. Every statement made in this article needs to come from some cited source. When in doubt, put a citation at the end of every sentence! Also, the sources cannot be self-published by the agency managing the schemes. They have to come from a journalist, researcher, newspaper, or some third-party. I like the idea of this article a lot. Move it to User:Commons sibi's userspace, see if that person or anyone else would develop it, then hopefully if sources are included then it can go live.

The individual in question was directly involved with the creation of the notable film 'Night of The Living Dead' in both a technical capacity and as an actor. Additionally the individual has also served as producer on one of George Romero's early films "Season of The Witch' and produced the Mirimax theatrical release 'Comedian' which starred Jerry Seinfeld. Streiner also produced the promotional screener for the Dreamworks feature film 'Bee Movie' which feature Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock and Steven Spielberg. Streiner is also featured prominently in number of 'Night of The Living Dead' related documentaries including 'One for The Fire' which was featured on the Dimension Extreme/Mirimax authorized release of 'Night of The Living Dead' and in 'Documentary of The Dead' a film examining the making of the original 'Night of The Living Dead.' Streiner is also the founder of the Living Dead Fest, a well known fan event held annually and was recently named to the board of directors of Pitsburgh's historic Hollywood Theater. To contend that Streiner somehow fails to meet the Wikipedia's notability requirement is frankly absurd. I would also note that the party who is behind the effort to have this entry deleted, user reddogsix has a history of filing chronic, hypervigilant and apparently frivolous requests of this sort as evidenced by the unusually excessive number of declined requests of this sort evidenced on his user page, so in this case, I would actually request that you consider the source and his apparent over-zealousness in lodging an excessive amount of baseless challenges of this sort. I would also point out that this page is a starter page and more cited information is being added regularly. (Sellpink (talk) 19:55, 13 July 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Comment - I suggest you focus on the task at hand - specifically showing how the article meets Wikipedia criteria for inclusion. Trying to focus on my actions will have no bearing on the AfD and whether the article survives. I also suggest you read WP:AFG and WP:UNCIVIL for guidance on how to interact with other Wikipedia editors.

The article fails to meet WP:BIO or any other notability guidelines. In order to meet notability guidelines, the article must be supported by verifiable, independent, secondary resources - something this article fails to do. Additionally, notability is not inherited from one notable subject to another non-notable subject. Working as a sound engineer does not automatically make him a major contributor to the movie - I don't recall the movie being remembered or notable for its sound. After you read the material I suggested concerning the quality of resources you have any specific questions, please feel free to let me know and I will try to help you make sense of the guidelines. reddogsix (talk) 00:16, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Your reference to the article outlining civility is not needed. I never at any point was uncivil, insulting or discourteous towards you. Moving past that, I never contended, as you seem to infer, that simply being the sound engineer on the film conferred any particular notability on the subject entry, but that the totality of his achievements including that would seem to meet standard for inclusion, including his role of producer of major motion pictures, his direct involvement in the promotion of Dreamworks film Bee Movie, his being featured as an interview subject in relevant 'Night of The Living Dead' related documentaries, his founding of the well known Living Dead Fest and his appointment to the board of directors of the Hollywood Theater. I will attempt to add more relevant and sourced information to further establish his notability. Thank you! (Sellpink (talk) 01:42, 14 July 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Comment - as currently written, the article is in poor shape, and poorly sourced, but in theory could be improved. I looked at IMdB, and Steiner is listed as one of two sound engineers. His own IMdB page lists only a handful of credits. Normally that would not be enough to pass WP:CREATIVE. However, if more sources of reliable types could be found and added to the article, showing significant references to him, then he may pass general notability. For example, there are many books and magazines in which he is mentioned. As it stands now, it would likely be deleted. Bearian (talk) 16:26, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "His work" is not the issue. The issue is whether or not the subject is notable enough as an individual to merit a biographical article. If it is rather his company that is notable, policy states companies neither inherit nor confer notability on individuals. So would his work matter if it had stayed a thesis and had never been commercialized? In short, what is the underlying generator of notability surrounding this individual?

PROD was contested. Reason: may be notable.

This club is fairly young. It was founded in 2008 and started competing in its local district league which is how all newly-found Peruvian clubs start. Since its foundation it has played at an amateur level. Only when achieving promotion to the first division (by winning the Copa Perú) does a club become professional. This club has not achieved this. Only record of participation is in 2010. Page has no updates on latest season and may be inactive. Claimed official website is a blog that has not been updated since 2011 [39]. Club's activities are not covered in other sources and thus fails WP:GNG. The Copa Perú is not a domestic cup like the FA Cup. It is purely a tournament for promotion to the first division, so participation in this competition does not guarantee notability.

Brief Chronicles is a "peer-reviewed journal" created to promote a fringe theory. The article about it was created by the editor of the journal, Roger Stritmatter, after the publication of the first issue, and was nominated for deletion the same day. After a discussion dominated by Dr Stritmatter's own lengthy comments, the nomination was closed with no consensus. Three years later, there are zero third-party sources.

Undecided. This is problematic. On one hand, the journal exists, though it is misrepresented in the description. On the other hand, it's pretty non-notable, its only mention in scholarly literature to point out that it's a fringe journal. On the third hand, we have pages for such ridiculousness as the Declaration of Reasonable Doubt, whose only reason for notability that I can tell is its promoters keep shoving it in the face of Shakespeareans every time they get a chance, mostly on their own websites and internet comment boards. Any meaningful rewrite will creep towards its own POV, as these pages, if unwatched, have a tendency to do. Maybe create a List of fringe promotional journals and include it? Tom Reedy (talk) 04:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think a paragraph or two on periodicals in the Oxfordian theory article would give due weight, though it should be a higher priority to cover The Elizabethan Review (which at least had the distinction of an appreciative citation in Orgel's Oxford edition of The Winter's Tale), and anything that might go back to the days of Looney and Greenwood—you and Paul know more than I do about the history of this. As for the Declaration, WP:OTHERCRAP just shows that more than one article has to go, but that article cites coverage in major news sources and a book from a university press. I do see a lot of overlap between that page and List of Oxfordian theory supporters. Anything we can do about that? - Cal Engime (talk) 06:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I edited out the ostentatious self-important promotion. See what you think. (The info box was superfluous; the article is a stub. Tom Reedy (talk) 05:06, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the infobox. Journal articles, whether a stub or not, should have an infobox, which contains bibliographic info not otherwise available. As I see no evidence of independent notability, the journal does not appear to meet either WP:GNG or WP:NJournals. Merge to Shakespeare Fellowship (including the infobox) seems like an acceptable solution, changing the current article into a redirect to the appropriate section in the article on the Fellowship, to maintain editing history. --Randykitty (talk) 07:11, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I cut it because "Shakespeare authorship question" is not a discipline, academic or otherwise. Tom Reedy (talk) 18:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Is fringe theory a discipline? Tom Reedy (talk) 20:10, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The field listed was originally English literature, but Dr Stritmatter strongly preferred interdisciplinary studies (and argued at AfD that the editorial board's lack of English scholars didn't matter because it's an interdisciplinary journal, not an English journal). I don't think an infobox is needed for a non-notable fringe journal. - Cal Engime (talk) 20:42, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Shakespeare Fellowship.

Temagami diamond mine[edit]

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

As I have said on the article's talk page, I did a quick Google search and found nothing about a diamond mine in the Temagami area. As a local resident, it is safe for me to say this article is a hoax and should be deleted. If this "diamond mine" was one of the largest in Canada and in the world it would surely be notable, but the lack of reliable sources contradicts that claim and everything else in this article. The article's creator (User:Bine Mai) originally used this as a source but does not support the content in the article. Volcanoguy 02:17, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Hard to say much about intent with a substub like this, but this seems to confuse a couple of properties. There was a Temagami Mine that operated until the 1970s but did not produce diamonds. There is the very large Victor Diamond Mine, but it is a considerable distance to the northwest and is in no way associated with Temagami. And there is the North Temamami Diamond Property, part of the Lake Timiskaming kimberlite field and an area under consideration for future development (with some survey mines already established), but no large operating diamond mine in any sense. Whatever the goal was here, the result is an article for a subject that does not exist. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 20:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The author appears to have written other dubious mine articles. Check out it's contributions. Volcanoguy 10:13, 3 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. There's a whole lot of very bad, and frequently demonstrably incorrect content associated with this user. I'm not sure what the best venue is for raising the issue, but there's a lot of cleanup needed here. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:34, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The source that was cited for the article certainly demonstrates that there is exploration of possible diamond deposits in the Temagami area, but it absolutely, unequivocally fails to demonstrate that there's any active diamond mine. (And I grew up in Sudbury, to boot, so if there were actually a diamond mine in Temagami I'd know almost as much about it as Volcanoguy would.) Delete; until such time as there's actually a mine in actual operation, the correct place for any Wikipedia content about this would be Lake Timiskaming kimberlite field rather than a standalone article.

Valerius Volesus[edit]

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

This person is not notable. Nothing is known of him, except that he is presumed to be a descendant of an earlier Volesus in the time of Romulus, and was the father of three early figures in the Roman Republic. All of this information is already covered in the articles on his ancestor, his children, and the gens Valeria. Also, his name was Volesus Valerius, not Valerius Volesus. The use of Volesus or Volusus as a surname in this gens dates to his sons, two of whom apparently adopted it in honor of their father. But as nothing is known about Volesus other than his name and relationship to other members of the gens, this article isn't necessary. P Aculeius (talk) 01:46, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As impatient as I am at the moment with technical procedure that occludes utility, I still feel obliged to point out that what you probably want is a redirect to Valeria (gens)#Origin, not an actual deletion of the page. In which case, you could probably just be bold and do that. I would certainly support such an action. Cynwolfe (talk) 16:19, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That sounds reasonable, Cynwolfe. I'll defer to your judgment in this, but it may take a day or two for me to get to it. P Aculeius (talk) 05:59, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - What I meant was, in case my tone was off, if you come upon similar things that are unreferenced, you could probably spare yourself the drag of a formal procedure, and try redirecting first. If there's an objection, then you can propose a deletion. Have no idea whether I've just advised you to do something that would be frowned up, but it seems in keeping with "be bold". Cynwolfe (talk) 16:34, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your comment that the name should be Volesus Valerius, not the other way around. Thanks for pointing it out. I also agree with Cynwolfe's redirect suggestion. I created the page because a number of articles already linked to the page, and I had enough material to create a stub. I was hoping to find additional information about Volesus from other sources but I think you are right - there is nothing more to add.--Urg writer (talk) 22:03, 28 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus? So far, that seems to be a consensus for redirecting: the figure is seminal and will be mentioned often (as Urg Writer points out), but in ways that make him integral to the gens and its origins, not so much as somebody who could generate an independent article.

Chamber of Commerce and Industry France Moldova[edit]

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

First, what exactly is this Chamber? It's one of around 80 chapters of the Union of French Chambers of Commerce and Industry Abroad. The Union doesn't have an article on en.wiki, but probably should. However, I think it's a bit of a stretch to have articles for its individual chapters, since we don't usually do that for NGOs. (Even for Amnesty International, which is about 100 times bigger (3 million versus 30,000), we only have articles on five national chapters.) We're not told how big the Moldova chapter is, but really, how many French businesses can there be in the poorest country in Europe, with a GDP of $7 billion, that does 2% of its trade with France? Five? Ten?

Second, about the sourcing, let's start by keeping in mind that anything foreign, especially from the developed world, that touches on Moldova, gets an inordinate amount of attention within Moldova. I'm not saying that something notable in Moldova isn't notable for Wikipedia (Călin Vieru or Bravicea are notable only within Moldova, but clearly also notable by our standards), just that we should compensate accordingly. So what do we have in terms of sources? Well, mainly passing mentions in interviews, news briefs, press releases, puff pieces, that sort of thing. Not much in the way of in-depth coverage.

Finally, we cannot fail to mention that the article's author is Raphaelpouget. His is, of course, a single-purpose account. Interestingly, there is someone named Raphael Pouget who just happens to be... "Intern: Club France - CCI France Moldavie". The same guy? You decide. Anyway, if he is their intern, he's a diligent one, having already created similar pages on fr.wiki and ro.wiki, and apparently intending to do the same for ru.wiki.

Oh, and one more thing. On the talk page, M. Pouget asks, in essence, "what about Moldovan–American Chamber of Commerce"? WP:WAX aside, I think that's a valid question. That is an equally non-notable institution, and its article ought to be deleted forthwith, as should the cloyingly promotional biography of its founder, Mark A. Meyer. - Biruitorul ^Talk 16:37, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clutch (sports)[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

It appears at WP:Articles_for_deletion/Clutch_(sports) that consensus was reached in 2009 to delete this article, and it doesn't appear to have gone through any deletion review or substantial changes to alter that conclusion. I'm a bit new to the process, but I honestly can't even tell that it was ever deleted per the AfD consensus. Regardless, it remains a poorly written article that lacks neutrality and is composed primarily of original research. I could imagine a proper article on the topic, but it would be little more than a dictionary definition inviting further non-neutral editing and original research.

OK, I'll bite.

Victoria Masonic Temple[edit]

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

Does not meet GNG, and notability has not been established; in 2.5 years there has been no substantial content to address anything more than existence (which is not notability). The article as it stands is so minimal as to be a dicdef. MSJapan (talk) 00:12, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The nom has simply given article improvement issues, not actual notability ones. Historic building in Colombo and arguably the most significant Masonic Temple in all of Sri Lanka. The Sunday Times did a very extensive article on this building [51]. (This signifying passing WP:GNG was already in the article when the nom AfD'd this.) A guide book from 1906 devoted a section to it. [52] It's even on one of the Sri Lankan stamps. Topic on national stamp=notability. --Oakshade (talk) 03:48, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I did read the material before I nominated it, and I do not appreciate the insinuation otherwise. If you read the article, on the other hand, you would see that it's not really very "extensive" at all; several paragraphs are opinions of the author, not facts about the building. The guidebook is a tertiary source, which does not replace a secondary, and there is absolutely nothing in Wikipedia's notability guidelines that equates being on a stamp with notability. So, you've got one source, and GNG is not met by one source. MSJapan (talk) 04:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You made zero reference to the The Sunday Times article in your nom statement which was a glaring omission for your case of "Does not meet GNG" so it appears you didn't read (or perhaps notice) it. The Sunday Times is an in-depth coverage on the temple. WP:GNG does not prejudice against opinion coverage, whether it be reviews, criticisms or op-ed peices. The Sunday Times article could be entitled "VICTORIA MASONIC TEMPLE SUCKS AND HERE'S WHY" and it would still be considered significant coverage per WP:GNG. As for the book A Guide to Colombo, you claim it's tertiary source? Do you have any evidence the book was published by the temple or even any part of the Masonic Order, or is this attack on the source your original research? --Oakshade (talk) 05:24, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I don't have to make reference to sources in a nomination, only the lack thereof, which I did. I also never claimed the article was unsourced; I claimed it did not meet GNG. WP:GNG reads If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list. Note the plural sources; not "if some guy wrote about it once." Therefore, my nomination indicates that there are not enough sources to make this building notable. An almanac, guidebook, or encyclopedia is by definition a tertiary source, and they are not the same as SPS. Also, that guidebook has three sentences about the building; the book itself is over 150 pages long. Sounds like a trivial mention to me. MSJapan (talk) 15:17, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You admit now you made reference to "lack theorof" reliable sources when there was one already in the article. Bad AfD form. "Tertiary" is a broad term (uh, Encyclopedias not secondary sources?), but you claimed specifically the guide book from 1906 is not a secondary source. Again, do you have any evidence the book was published by the temple or even any part of the Masonic Order or is that your blind speculation? We're waiting. --Oakshade (talk) 18:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete One reliable source just doesn't seem like enough to establish notability. Nwlaw63 (talk) 05:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As Oakshade says, the sources provided + national stamp = notable landmark building. --Arxiloxos (talk) 06:03, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Again, a stamp does not confer notability. I want to see that guiideline if it does. Secondly, a notable landmark building is one that is on a list of other such recognized buildings. There's paperwork and other things involved. It's not because somebody said so.

Although a stamp is not "coverage" the fact that a stamp is issued with a building bang in the middle of the stamp means that it is common sense that the building is notable. JASpencer (talk) 20:17, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. More RS available [53], [54]. Cossde (talk) 13:18, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - one is about a blood drive and the other about a fundraiser to be held on the grounds. There's no content about the building. It's pertinent because it mentions the name of the building once? Sorry, that's also trivial coverage. MSJapan (talk) 15:17, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per RS in article and this one I just added: Twentieth Century Impressions of Ceylon:Its History, People, Commerce, Industries, and Resources. There's description of the construction and opening on pages 419-420 and a nice public domain photograph on page 414. 24.151.116.25 (talk) 16:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As well as the reliable sources that have now been shown, we also have the building on a stamp. If it makes it on to a stamp or a banknote then it's probably notable. JASpencer (talk) 20:13, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Week Keep... I would have said delete, but the coverage in "Twentieth Century Impressions of Ceylon" is more than just trivial. That said... while there is enough coverage (barely) to establish notability, there really isn't enough coverage to allow the article to grow beyond a stub. The article really should be merged into an article on a broader topic (something like Colonial era architecture in Ceylon)... there are probably other articles that could be merged as well.

Keep. A search on Google Books and Google News shows sufficent information to establish notability. Proper following of WP:BEFORE requires more than a "cursory glance" at WP:GHITS; nominating the article within an hour of its creation is somewhat WP:BITEy as well. (Also citing WP:MEMORIAL is somewhat odd seeing as nobody was lost in the wreck.) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 00:55, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
