PROD removed by IP without comment. This article was twice declined at AfC, both times with the comment "submission is unsourced or contains only unreliable sources". At the time, the only sources were to the gaming group's own website and forum, and that remains the case - in fact, most of them only link to the root nasrac.com website. There is zero evidence of notability, and no sources to establish notability after a search. Fails WP:GNG, WP:RS. The Bushranger One ping only 22:59, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AO-222[edit]
- AO-222 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
There's a wikia page on a Nikonov_AO-222, which does show a gun called Nikonov AS (AO-222) in some museum. The Nikonov AS that was actually submitted to official trials (pictured in Monetchikov, Sergei (2005). История русского автомата [The History of Russian Assault Rifle] (in Russian). St. Petersburg: Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps. ISBN 5-98655-006-4. Monetchikov, p. 194) looks well-enough like that Wikia-page prototype, except it's fed from the bottom, not from the right side. The Polish source (pl:Nowa Technika Wojskowa) says this right-fed gun was "prototype 4" of the AS. Anyway, this AO-222 doesn't appear to be notable enough for its own page, because it was just an early factory prototype of the AN-94, not even the Nikonov AS that was submitted for army trials. Someone not using his real name (talk) 23:17, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I got myself a copy of the 2002/3 Polish magazine. There are a whole bunch of pictures of the early prototypes of the AN-94; even those by Nikonov look pretty different from the AN-94, e.g. the first two of his prototypes (called NA-2 and NA-4) were bullpup designs. And after prototype 4 (AO-222), there are pictures with five more Nikonov prototypes (labeled 5-9 by the Polish source, all with different original tags like WS-229, PU-192, OK-158, MA-49, or MA-50. A coupe more PA-33 and 6P33 are mentioned as AS[M] prototype 10 and 11, but with no pictures.) All pretty interesting info, but I don't see why a separate article is needed for each one. Someone not using his real name (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
So I'm officially including NA-2 and NA-4 in this nomination, for the same reason: factory prototypes of Nikonov (NS, eventually N-94), that don't need a separate page, lulzy picture notwithstanding. Someone not using his real name (talk) 23:44, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Argh: People who !vote do not seem to parse this far down my nomination, and/or do not express an opinion about these, so they should probably be dealt with separately. Someone not using his real name (talk) 08:23, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I should also note that AS-1, which was added here, is simply the unofficial name of the first prototype of the AS series leading to AN-94; this gun was given the ad-hoc number of prototype number 3 in the Polish source; there is a table at the end of the 2002/4 magazine article which makes this clear. I can see a case for a separate page for the NA-2 and NA-4 combined perhaps, because they need somewhat different categories of Category:Bullpup firearms and Category:Bullpup rifles, although they haven't even been added to those... After looking at some guidelines, it seems that additional categories can be added to redirects, as described in Wikipedia:Categorizing redirects#Redirects whose target title is incompatible with the category, so [desirable] categories alone are not a reason to retain the NA-2 and NA-4 pages in their current form.

- Delete. Does not meet Wiki notability requirements. The main sources of information on the internet for this firearm seems to be Wikipedia itself or a Wiki mirrors. All of which are based on a single caption photograph of a prototype rifle from an unknown source. The photograph itself is also appears to be close up of the the right side of the receiver, it could be anything. There is simply no way of knowing if the information is correct. No matter, even if the information is correct the AO-222 appears to be just one of 100,000's of dead-end prototype firearms and does not meet Wiki notability requirements --RAF910 (talk) 01:18, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - all fail WP:GNG per above. Ansh666 07:01, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As for the NA-2 and NA-4 I also vote for deletion as they are not notable and certainly not deserving of their own pages. Both are dead end prototypes. Both articles consist of only two sentences. If the Armalite AR-15, a real production rifle that evolved into the M16 and semi-auto Colt AR-15 does not merit its own page, then the NA-2 and NA-4 most certainly do not.--RAF910 (talk) 22:41, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have rewritten a single stub, Nikonov NA-2 and NA-4 about both of these with the available information, which is a bit more than what was present when I nominated them for deletion. It should be possible to merge it to AN-94 at some point, but the target article is rather sketchy right now, so there's hardly room for the additional infobox. Someone not using his real name (talk) 16:19, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to merge the NA-2 and the NA-4 with the AN-94 that would be fine with me. However, the NA-2 and NA-4 are not notable enough to have their own article. As, stated above, "If the Armalite AR-15, a real production rifle that evolved into the M16 and semi-auto Colt AR-15 does not merit its own page, then the NA-2 and NA-4 most certainly do not."--RAF910 (talk) 20:19, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The AR-15 has its own page (and also AR-15 variants), as does the CAR-15 and M4 carbine. Someone not using his real name (talk) 01:14, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Armalite AR-15 does not have its own page...Read it again. The AR-15 page that you are referring to is devoted to the semi-auto Colt AR-15. The Armalite AR-15 is select-fire rifle that predates both the U.S.G.I. M16 and Colt AR-15, and is only mentioned within the body of those articles. In a way you sort of made my point for me...The NA-2 and the NA-4 do not merit their own page and should be mentioned only within the body of the AN-94 article. Frankly, I don't believe that they should be mentioned at all, as they are both nothing more than one gun prototypes. If we accept the notion that prototype firearms are notable. Then we will have to accept tens of thousands of one gun prototype articles from manufacturers and gunsmiths that nobody has ever heard of before, simply because they have a patent or they were mentioned (in passing) in an obscure magazine article.--RAF910 (talk) 20:40, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Appears to be self-written biography of living person. Robert McClenon (talk) 18:41, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The article does need work to bring it up to scratch (I've started revising and only got to 2001 so far), but I think that John Ingold is notable as an author of interactive fiction. Many of his works have been nominated for XYZZY Awards, which are the most important awards in the field, and several have won or ranked highly in the Interactive Fiction Competition. He's discussed as an important contemporary author in Nick Montfort's book Twisty Little Passages, the most extensive academic study of IF, and his All Roads is one of three works treated in detail in Alf Seegert's article at doi:10.1386/jgvw.1.1.23_1. I've also found reviews at websites like Jay Is Games[1], Just Adventure[2] and GameSetWatch,[3] even if we ignore IF-specific websites like SPAG. EALacey (talk) 22:19, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. The article might need a bit of attention but it should not be deleted. The author is a well-established, award-winning, multiply-cited name in the interactive fiction field and is definitely noteworthy enough as a person (and here as an article) for continued inclusion in Wikipedia. I'm saying this as a professor of literature who has an invested interested in Interactive Fiction as a general field, not just in this author specifically. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.186.242.228 (talk) 14:47, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian footballer who scored a very fast goal in a very minor match, which got captured on film and prompted a lot of extremely non-indepth articles basically simply saying "hey look, this kid scored a fast goal and it's on YouTube!!!!" No significant coverage of the player that I can find so as to pass WP:GNG, nothing to say how old he is, where he was born, or anything - he's literally just namechecked. Article claims he holds the world record for the fastest goal, but there is no evidence this is officially recognised by anyone, in fact the Metro article used as a reference for this claim only uses the very vague wording "Could this be the quickest goal ever scored? Well we can’t think of one"......... --ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:06, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

PROD contested by article creator, the original rationale of "fails WP:OR (no criteria used to decide why some players are "notable"), and also violates WP:NOTSTATS and WP:LISTCRUFT. No justification/need for a separate article" remains valid. I know these types of articles can be notable, it's just that this one ain't. GiantSnowman 19:27, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. GiantSnowman 19:28, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Obvious keep. Is it really your claim that Wikipedia should not have lists of notable players of notable sports teams unless...what? There are dozens that are featured lists, and I'm at a loss as to what you think is different about this list that it should be deleted. Calling this OR makes zero sense because it's obviously verifiable who played for this team and when, and it's completely standard to limit lists of people to only those who merit articles (i.e., are notable; though wouldn't all players for this team satisfy WP:NFOOTY and all be notable anyway?). Easily satisfies WP:LISTPURP, plus complementary to Category:FC Seoul players per WP:CLN. postdlf (talk) 22:27, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @Postdlf:, have you even bothered reading my nomination rationale / looking at the article? It is OR as there is a section called
"Notable players""Former players" - is that all players (no, it isn't) or is that just a list of players that the creator / only editor has decided are "notable" for whatever unknown reason? At the minute, it's quite clearly the latter. The article is unreferenced and nothing but fan-boy LISTCRUFT and NOTSTATS. Or, look at it thsi way - if I was to remove everything that was unsupported by reliable sources, we would have nothing left. GiantSnowman 09:21, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- "...there is a section called 'Notable players'..." No, there isn't; have you looked at the article you nominated? There used to be, but that was changed the day before you listed it for deletion.[4] Not that the names of headers matter one way or the other for purposes of this discussion. If there are players with articles that have been omitted on no objective basis, the solution is to expand the article to include them. You've identified nothing but potential cleanup and editing issues. postdlf (talk) 13:33, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- So it's now called "Former players" as opposed to "Notable players", but the intent is the same. Why are some included and some not? Is there scope (i.e reliable sources) to expand the article to include every player? I cannot find any. If the article therefore cannot be expanded to include every player then the 'Former/Notable players' section can be simply included on the main page. GiantSnowman 13:41, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, GiantSnowman, I selected former players very carefully, I checked out basic stats (including caps, goals), captains career and internaiotional career and newspapers and FC Seoul 25 years history book and so on regarding players. It's not my subjective opinion. Please believe me and take it easy. If you are Korean and FC Seoul fan, You definately accept former player lists.Footwiks (talk) 13:54, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Where have you sourced it all from? Where are these newspapers and books you have used? Being a "fan" has nothing to do with it. GiantSnowman 13:55, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

non-scheduled airline; no evidence for notability DGG ( talk ) 15:42, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Sources have significant coverage, they are mostly reliable (two government websites, the company website, one aviation enthusiast website, one third party directory), although the company website is not independent (source 1) – another website verifies the data (source 2). Benair is an independent operator in Norway and a significant part of the aviation scene at Oslo Airport. Although there are only few sources detailing the Danish/UK operation, the ones that do seem to confirm much of the same data. The company seems to me suitable for its own article. ozwegian ( talk ) 18:40, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, because WP:CORP is not met: Benair does not seem to have been the subject of significant coverage in reliable independent sources. The four references of this Wikipedia article (other than the self-published website) [5][6][7][8] are trivial (directory-like) and only contain the most basic pieces of information. An (admittedly quick and elementary) internet search does not provide anything more valuable. Dear ozwegian, no doubt that the information is verifiable and backed by reliable government sources, but the mere existence does not make an airline (or rather, any company) notable.--FoxyOrange (talk) 20:09, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: FoxyOrange: I can certainly appreciate the argument that a company's existence in itself does not make it notable. In my oppinion, the company's relative significance in Norway (both in and of itself, and as a company many local pilots have started their careers with) makes it notable in a Norwegian setting, although I admit that it is difficult to find reliable sources to prove notability. Even though the article could be made in (or suggested for) Norwegian or Danish Wikipedia, that would be restricting the information to a particular language – when in fact the company operates in several European countries. ozwegian ( talk ) 19:15, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Both subjects fail WP:BIO and are both very likely self-promotion.

The result was redirect to Ashley Kirilow. There is no consensus to delete outright.

- Like I said, a misguided attempt to get around WP:BLP policy. Fortunately, policy doesn't permit such transparent Wikilawyering - WP:BLP policy applies whether an article is about a real person, or a fictitious organisation - what matters is the content, not the title. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Round and round we go. The proper notability guideline is WP:ORG. Obviously, the vast majority of modern day organizations are made up of living people who are otherwise non-notable. That shouldn't automatically make articles about such organizations non-encyclopedic. -- Kendrick7talk 02:39, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But we're an encyclopedia, and the proverbial cat is long since out of the bag. -- Kendrick7talk 03:05, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, here's the deal - I'll remove any references to Kirilow per WP:BLP1E, and you write the article about the 'organisation' based on sources that don't mention her - there must be a few amongst the 23 million that don't ;-) AndyTheGrump (talk) 03:14, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I was around when WP:BLP1E became policy. Its original intent was for Wikipedia to not have articles about random internet users who, due to no fault of their own, became memes on 4chan or the like.[10] A noble if rather worthless goal thanks to that other wiki. I even think it's fine and reasonable not to create articles about one-off criminals of little notoriety. But with your interpretation, the slope has slipped quite enough for me. The policy wasn't created to protect organizations which have deliberately committed real-money fraud and are widely notable because of it. -- Kendrick7talk 03:51, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That was part of it The other part was to avoid detailed coverage of unrelated minor criminal incidents in the lives of people, except where the people (like political figures or well- publicized sports & entertainment figures) were such as that all aspects of their behavior were considered by the public as important, It was not meant to prevent the discussion of criminal behavior by people noted for being criminals. BLP of course does apply to articles about other things than people, as indeed it should, but among the things that it does rightly require is that when we do cover criminal behavior, we try to use a non-personal name for the article subject. Frauds can be notable, as I think this one is, and the name of the organization is a fair heading for the article that covers it. The individual responsible can be discussed also, as any other other criminal. BLP has to be used very careful to avoid becoming censorship of the unpleasant.

- Information - A fairly large userspace draft on Ashley Kirilow was written by Geo Swan in the 2010-2012 time frame. He turned it into a redirect to List of cancer victim hoaxes (which was deleted yesterday via this AFD) before moving it to Ashley Kirilow. here is the last draft before he gutted it. Ashley Kirilow now redirects to Change for the Cure. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 05:39, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with and redirect to a restored Ashley Kirilow, restored to the last "full" version as it existed when it was a userspace draft. Then clean up and reduce the size of the restored Ashley Kirilow page and make sure it is WP:BLP-compliant. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 05:39, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but expand. I think an argument can be made that the organization Ashley Kirilow set up, called "Change for the Cure" was notable, hers was not the only charity or bogus charity to use the phrase. Another organization that used it was the very successful Susan G. Komen charity, which distributed "Change for the Cure" jars for years. The article should cover all organizations that use the slogan. Geo Swan (talk) 22:35, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There should be a single article that deals with "Change for the Cure" and "Ashley Kirilow". I agree with DGG that the article should be at Change for the Cure; Ashley Kirilow should be merged into and redirected to it. The primary topic should be the charity fraud. Pseudonymous Rex (talk) 00:39, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment about where to merge if we do merge. The primary notability for both the person and the organization is the criminal behavior. Our BLP policy is unambiguous that in ordinary circumstances when there is a choice of names we do not use the personal name of the criminal for the title, so if there is any basis for an article at all it belongs under the organization name. I am rather startled by some of the comments above that I am too credulous about accept the positive material here. I very much accept the negative material, and the way to cover it is under the present name. DGG ( talk ) 04:57, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:N. Not independently notable from Animal Farm. Filled with WP:OR and unsourced, with the only exception as two pages referenced from novel. AldezD (talk) 13:25, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- weak keep I think this is independently notable because Orwell's use of subtle detail in his polemic works was always carefully thought out and he's full of allegory to '30s politics. However I recognise that this is still unsourced and per our usual policy, that's a big problem.
- Ideally I'd like to see someone with access to the Orwell sources and commentaries take this article in hand and fix it. There's an interesting and sourceable article here and I would very much like to read it afterwards. As Orwell commentary is pretty much an industry in the UK, for GCSE school level English Lit courses, then there must be any amount of commentary out there and surely there's enough covering this specific topic. It's not my field though, I'm certainly not going to write it, and thus I can't make a strong case for keeping it.

- Oppose merge. That neither fixes the problem, nor improves Animal Farm. Notability of the topic isn't the issue here, sourcing for the claims made (i.e. avoiding OR) is. A merged section would have just the same problem. As this article also necessarily quotes heavily from the source anthems, that would introduce a new problem of WP:UNDUE. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:25, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Hence "whatever is salvageable". The source anthems aren't appropriate for any article IMO (my interpretation of WP:QUOTE), so any Anthems article/section would necessarily be shorter than the present (unless there really is that much to write about it!). Also, nom's main issue was failing WP:N; I'm not convinced by your comments that this should be given any separate treatment as the sections in Animal Farm#Analysis.

Apparently non-notable term. I can't find anything in a Google search on this term (obviously, searching for "status set" turns up lots of other, irrelevant, things!) and the one reference in the article is very evidently primary. Nothing of use in the prior AfD, which appears to have been about a completely different article (as one would expect for an eight-year gap) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:44, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- As usual, provide some please. Given the generic nature of the words, an arbitrary figure like that is useless. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:08, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I'm not confident this advances far beyond a stub at any point, but GBooks returns quite a few hits of this specific concept, coined by this specific writer, being used in context. If the concept is being cited this widely it is probably notable. Here is the search. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 19:20, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge this article and role set into Robert K. Merton, whcih already has extensive discussion of his theories.Kitfoxxe (talk) 22:31, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A search of GScholar for "Status set" sociology returns 667 hits. The first few pages of that search shows plenty of non-Merton sources using that term in the correct sense. The paper First Words: Do Sociologists Actually Use the Terms in Introductory Textbooks' Glossaries ? shows the term status set to be among the notable terms introduced in sociology textbooks and shows evidence that it has been used for decades. Plenty of secondary reliable sources, including sociology textbooks, suggest that this term is notable. The article, while short, has no insurmountable problems, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE. A notable topic and no insurmountable problems suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 22:29, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

After reviewing the PCWorld article which is used as a source within the article, along with the San Jose Mercury News article, this makes two significant coverage sources, sufficient IMHO to pass WP:GNG; therefore, I am supporting keeping this article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:50, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- This is somewhat borderline. Seems like they have a product that is used fairly widely, but happens to be in a not-so-exciting field (time sheets?) so not covered in popular press. Might be possible to rescue by removing the marketing language (another case of the dreaded "solution provider" sigh). It appears the CEO is somewhat notable, and the company had a previous life as "Computer Strategies, Inc" which might be worth telling. Not sure when someone can work on it. W Nowicki (talk) 15:47, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I think the notability should be addressed with a couple Washington Post articles and a few other mentions of software and people. Been around since 1988, so much more than the usual article about two kids and an app. Still needs work to un-orphan and do a better job explaining what they do. They seem to provide timesheet software for the Beltway bandits in that area, for example. But please take another look. W Nowicki (talk) 18:32, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete getting listed as 'one to watch' is not notability in itself. THE NYT coverage is a blog not the print paper and contains only four paragraphs.

- Keep. The coverage is light, but it's out there. Other than the trade reviews from PW and Booklist, I found reviews from the SF Crowsnest, SF Site, and SF Signal. They're not as mainstream as say, Fangoria, but they have been considered RS in the past. There is also the review from the Seattle PI and a somewhat brief article from Dread Central. I have no true issue with this being lumped into one big article for the series as a whole, but there was coverage out there. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:54, 25 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - Why would an article on Jim Lobe be considered not notable, when probably more than a thousand biographical wikipedia articles exist on far less notable figures? He has for thirty years been Washington DC bureau head of a highly respected international news agency. Perhaps hundreds of his articles have had very significant coverage, and been read and republished all over the internet for well over a decade. He's got archives of articles on several popular news sites, including Lew Rockwell, Alternet, and Common Dreams. He's been interviewed more than once by global television channels for his expertise. He has a successful blog-site that is linked into by several hundred other web sites, and is followed on social media by thousands of people. I think this clearly means that a wikipedia article on Jim Lobe would meet notability guidelines WP:GNG. D Dayus (talk) 00:03, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There are undoubtably more than a thousand other articles that should be deleted, but this discussion is about this article, not those other articles. If you want this article to be kept then you need to provide evidence that Jim Lobe has been the subject of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. It's not enough to assert that claim without providing the evidence. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:13, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just as well, then, that I did mention that his works have had very significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Try doing a search. You'll see that my mention of those three significant reliable independent sources is just a start. Would you like me to do the search, and report the results? Or is it significant enough to mention that, of the 234,000 results on Google, the first few pages of results include references to him and his work by significant, independent, and long-standing sources, such as Inter Press Service, Alternet, AntiWar.com, Aljazeera, Common Dreams, Z Communications, Open Society Foundations, and The Nation. Or is it a policy of wikipedia that an author who has had his work published for decades in significant reliable independent sources, and republished widely elsewhere, and who is bureau chief at an internationally significant news agency office in the capital city of the only global superpower, and whose work has been influential in covering the politics of the said superpower, is only notable if someone else writes something about him? D Dayus (talk) 22:20, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that is Wikipedia policy, and yes, please do the search and report what you find about Lobe in independent reliable sources. Publications that he writes for are by definition not independent, and in those first few pages of search results and in the sources that you list I can only find stuff by Lobe, not about him. Phil Bridger (talk) 07:09, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I added some fresh sources because I believe he is important, but more have to be entered to save the article. In the databases, he's written quite a bit himself. He's also referred to by other writers at a much higher rate than you'll find with other journalists. While he gives interviews, I haven't yet found one where he speaks about bio details. He is always the expert. Crtew (talk) 13:05, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not unthinkable that an article about the phenomenon of "creepypasta" could be created.

Search engine test of news, books, and scholarly sources finds passing mentions of the term "creepypasta" but no evidence that sufficient reliable sourcing is available to meet WP:GNG.

- Keep, but with a not properly sourceable tag. Creepypasta is in most cases not true, best case would be Ben Drowned where the creator revealed that it isnt true, and people should be able to know that most creepypasta is not true or have any evidence without going to some shady websites.
- My1 17:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, everyone can take part – welcome and thank you! The problem with the article is that nobody can find any reliable sources that talk about creepypasta. That means that the only way to write an article about creepypasta is to visit and take material from exactly the "shady websites" you want to avoid. Dricherby (talk) 20:19, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- of course but here in Wiki we can set a mark that the sources are not reliable, so that people know to take it with a pinch of salt, for example with the template {{Unreliable sources}} or something like that, which other sites probably dont do or simply cannot do.
- My1 20:28, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- One of the five pillars of Wikipedia is that all articles must cite reliable sources: it's a fundamental part of what Wikipedia is. We don't have a sort of "Wikipedia 2" where all the unreliable articles hang out. The purpose of the {{Unreliable sources}} template is to encourage editors to find better sources, which can't be done if there are no better sources. Dricherby (talk) 20:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- OK too bad, but Also a reason for keeping this, Mythology things like Harpies, or good old Medusa, or best example, God, which are not really proven to exist, are here in the Wiki. Creepypasta ist just the scary side of modern-day mythology, if you ask me.
- (also just a note, when comments of My1xT appear here, this is just my account for insecure computers as permitted by WP:SOCK#LEGIT
- My1 20:50, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes but the difference between Harpies, Medusa and God on the one hand, and creepypasta on the other is that there are lots of reliable sources discussing Harpies, Medusa and God. Regardless of whether or not they exist, we can write a verifiable article about what people have said about them, the influence they've had on society and so on. Without sources, we can't do that for creepypasta. The significant difference between creepypasta and mythology is that nobody has analysed or written about creepypasta in any way that could be regarded as authoritative and that would give us something to base a verifiable article on.

Completing nomination for 74.88.115.197, whose rationale was posted at Talk:Bowery Street and is included verbatim below. On the merits, I make no recommendation at this time - but I do include an additional IP comment from that talk page, as it seems relevant. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:12, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nominating article for deletion because it is about a very small, un-notable street in Brooklyn. Going through this street (which is not really a street in the first place, but a pedestrian/parking path as they are no street signs or anything along the stretch) on Google Maps shows there is nothing significant about it. The only businesses there are small retail stores that operate during the beach season and searching for notability comes up hardly anything. The was originally created as a redirect to the notable street in Manhattan called Bowery, but turned into an article by another IP user. I'm not sure if returning the article to a redirect would be appropriate since few, if any, refer to the Manhattan street as Bowery Street. Most just call it Bowery. 74.88.115.197 (talk) 01:07, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I am the IP editor who turned it into an article, but only because the redirect to the Bowery was incorrect. The Bowery is never correctly called "Bowery Street" and for someone to type in or link to Bowery Street and be redirected to the Bowery would be misleading. I agree Bowery Street is not notable and have no objection to deletion, provided that it be made clear that the redirect should not be recreated. 69.95.203.29 (talk) 06:06, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete (and revert to a redirect) doesnt appear to be notable and the fact that the redirect could be deemed to be wrong is not a reason to change the article to a non-notable subject. The fact that the name is not correct does not make it unsuitable as a search term. MilborneOne (talk) 17:54, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete without redirect, entirely unremarkable four-block section that can hardly be called a street. However, using it to refer to the Bowery is incorrect and is not particularly common, so I feel that the redirect would cause more trouble than it solves. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:29, 7 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Somewhere in here there is a notable single that reached #34 in the UK Singles Chart. We seem to have a little confusion in the articles related to this - it was a regular single with two tracks (FICS15 - although it isn't listed as a single in the band's discography article), with an additional limited double-7" format with 4 tracks (FICG15), as occasionally happened in that era. I would suggest that it be treated as an article about "The Hanging Garden", the regular single which is the primary release, which I believe is notable. It is reviewed here. It was also recorded by AFI and the song's title was taken by Ian Rankin for the title of one of his books. Enough has been written about the band that it seems unlikely that this isn't covered further. It would also have been reviewed in the music press of the time. --Michig (talk) 08:53, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Unlike the "cinnamon challenge", which is well referenced and fairly popular, this article fails notability policy: all the references provided relate solely to people being injured from attempting this "challenge", which implies that they are stupid, not that the challenge itself is notable. These sources apply directly to self-inflicted behaviour which falls under self-harm, with the results of this "challenge" being frostbite, but the act of "sticking your hands in salty ice water to impress people" itself is not a notable event, just as "lighting a match" is not notable compared with the results of arson or burns. Also, because there are no reliable sources to support the medical viewpoints of this trivial "challenge" or examples showing that some people are harmed, whilst many are not, this article presently falls under WP:UNDUE, as it only presents the "challenge" as dangerous, and the risk-factor seems fairly hyperbolically stated.

- The contract dispute is just one facet of his notability. WP:BLP1E is for non-notable people who happen to be in a single news cycle for their participation in a single event. He's also notable for his victory over a top-tier organizations' champion (Eduardo Dantas) and his nine or so months as a top ten ranked fighter.

- Weak Keep I'm suggesting a weak keep simply because I heard that he was ranked in the top 10 in his division after he KO'd Bellator's champion, now I can't verify this but if someone can prove it to be true then him once ranking in the top 10 is just as strong as him taking 3 fights for a top tier fighter.

I don't think Nam actually meets any of the existing notability criteria, but he has some things that support notability claims.

No sources apparently. The rather excessive list of external links which were in the article [29], do not mention Matt Kalinsky. From google scholar, H-Index is about 7, the calculation in the last AfD was based on adding a biologist in as well.

- Delete and salt (for a while). I also find a GS h-index of 7 in a well cited field. Totally inadequate to pass WP:Prof#1. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:48, 1 July 2013 (UTC).[reply]
- Delete. A h-index of 7 (which is also what I calculate) isn't enough for WP:PROF, and we already have the Trojan wave packet article to cover his main research topic. Searching finds nothing else that even remotely suggests notability. Incidentally, I note that his name is actually Maciej Kaliński, and that he no longer seems to be involved with academia. -- 202.124.88.41 (talk) 05:50, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The article claims Kaliński "discovered" Trojan wave packets. The article on that topic doesn't say so, however, and the first (1994) article on the topic ("Lagrange equilibrium points in celestial mechanics and nonspreading wave packets for strongly driven Rydberg electrons") has Kaliński as the middle of three authors. -- 202.124.88.41 (talk) 06:03, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment and delete Just to feed you some more bibliometric data. Scopus gives 3 papers by M. Kalinski, with 10 citations in total and h-index=2 (note that Scopus is not the best with pre-1995 papers), whereas Web of Knowledge (ISI, Thomson Reuters) lists 12 papers (Kalinski is the first author of 7 of them), 2 conference communications and 1 reply to the letter-to-editor, with 294 citations in total and h-index=7. I'm not much into physiscs, but I do assume that these aren't extraordinary academic achievments. Rather normal; nothing fancy. Therefore without good, external sources to prove his notability, I see here only a regular PhD, doing a regular science.Masur (talk) 16:14, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. It appears that his discovery, Trojan wave packets, is notable, but its notability does not automatically pass to him per WP:NOTINHERITED, especially because it was work done while he was a student and it is difficult to disentangle his contribution from that of his advisor and more notable coauthor Joseph H. Eberly. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:55, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Not to mention the contributions of his coauthor Iwo Bialynicki-Birula, who was first author of that 1994 paper cited above. That was the paper which actually defined the concept, and which assigned the name when it stated "Such nonspreading wave packets are direct quantum analogs of the clusters of Trojan asteroids orbiting the Sun near the stable Lagrange points L4 and L5." It's clear that Kalinski contributed to the topic during his PhD, but it does not seem that he "discovered" it. -- 203.171.196.24 (talk) 07:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Matt Kalinski cannot pass WP:PROF in that sense and he works privately. He entered the US on student visa F-1 with Polish passport. This visa implies that he had to leave US to Poland 10 day after graduation. Poland however requires that all Professors have to have President of Poland nomination. US PhD cannot be under Polish President and he must work privately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattedia (talk • contribs) 07:09, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm not sure what that means, but certainly he is working privately, in some capacity that doesn't seem to be generating further publications. -- 203.171.196.24 (talk) 07:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- And I'm really hoping you're not Matt Kalinski (WP:AUTO). -- 203.171.196.24 (talk) 07:44, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- As well as the possible conflict-of-interest, I'm confused by Mattedia's comment, because it is labeled keep but it seems to be arguing that he is not notable. In any case it is certainly possible for people not employed as academics to pass WP:PROF. I could cite examples but I think that would be a distraction. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:11, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Certainly it is possible for people not employed as academics to pass WP:PROF (except #5 and #6), but the dearth of Google hits suggests that Kalinski is not currently employed in any WP:PROF-passing way. All we have to go on are his existing publications, which seem to me insufficient. -- 202.124.73.20 (talk) 02:22, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A biographical article about a 19th Century Russian writer that, as far as I can see, fails both notability and verifiabilty criteria. Apart from a recently-created corresponding entry on Spanish Wikipedia here, there are no Google hits whatsoever. The article asserts that the subject was a close friend of Pushkin, so it is not unreasonable to assume the name would appear in at least one biography of Pushkin, if only mentioned in passing, but there are no results on Google books, nor are there results for any of the works attributed to the subject. The only source offered is an autobiography from 1861, but again, there are no results for this work. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 20:56, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Searching this is going to be a problem, because of translation and transliteration difficulties. To search adequately, it's going to be necessary to reconstruct the Russian titles of the books. (and the Russian spelling of the author's name). DGG ( talk ) 04:06, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I agree that transliteration issues are a problem here, although there are issues of sourcing as if the one and only source offered for this article is the memoirs of the subject, WP:RS wouldn't be satisfied. However, even allowing for transliteration problems, I think it is a source of concern that the only online mentions of the works of the subject is one of them being used as a source for an article on Spanish Wikipedia (on the Jakov family), created by the author of this article. I know I am stepping over the boundaries of WP:AGF here, but the only reason I am not challenging that article on Spanish Wikipedia is my lack of Spanish; there are very significant problems with that article particularly with sources and with the use of images, where an image purporting to be of a 16th-Century nobleman is actually a greyscaled and horizontally-flipped image of a 19th Century image of a Cossack. (If you want to compare the images: this is the image uploaded by the editor here and here is the 19th-Century image on Wikpedia here. I noticed the similarity when I saw this edit removing the 19th-Century image from the English Wikipedia article on Don Cossacks. (There is a second image on Wikipedia that has suffered the same fate: compare this image of a Boyar from the 17th Century with this image of the purported 16th Century Count_Aleksandr_Nikolayevich_Jakov ) So, in for a penny, in for a pound: as I have already questioned the intentions of the article creator, I'll go on to suggest this article is a step in the creation of a false genealogy for the Jakov family on Wikipedia.

- Delete: Even with my limited knowledge of Spanish, it is obvious that someone is trying to graft the oddly unrecorded Jakov noble family on to very well known family trees. The Spanish article, for example, has the founder of the Jakov family as an illegitimate son of Lengvenis - by a mother whose surname appears not once on the internet. Highly suspicious per WP:EXCEPTIONAL and per WP:DUCK. I suggest that all of contributions of the SPA editor who created this article be purged. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 02:12, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- on the internet ? the mother of an illegitimate Lithuanian noble child from the 15th century? I find nothing exceptional in a Lithuanian noble family--and there were a great many of them--being ultimately related to a royal illegitimate progeny. it may or not not be historically accurate, but it's not suspicious. It may be a total fraud, or just the sort o over ambitious family geology we see a lot of here.
- But we're discussing this particular person, and the question is whether we can find the Russian books, if we can reconstruct their titles. DGG ( talk ) 05:42, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You misunderstood my point. I am not surprised that the supposed ancestress of the alleged Jakovs is not mentioned anywhere online; I am surprised that her surname does not appear anywhere - an authentic Russian or Ruthenian patronymic surname should get some Google-hits, no? הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 18:34, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No such person ever existed. Yet another hoax from User:LordCarisbrooke who should be indefblocked for his pranks.--Ghirla-трёп- 07:32, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Have a look at this blog-post, especially at the name of the author: Realeza y Nobleza Rusa. This should give us other questionable families to look out for... הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 18:39, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
