- Honestly? I AfD'd the article instead of CSDing it because I couldn't determine the precise CSD category to put it under; I've been burned before for not picking the right one, and after being "reminded" a couple times to reread the CSD pages after choosing G1 instead of G3 (f'rinstance), I tend to AfD anything remotely borderline just to be safe.

The journal is not discussed by others. I can find no RSes to support notability. Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:49, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Wikipedia:NBOOK#Academic_and_technical_books states that one proper criterion for judging the notability of academic books is "how widely the book is cited by other academic publications". Cf. similar citation criterion for academics in WP:ACADEMIC. Google Books and Scholar show numerous citations to this journal. Microsoft Academic Search ranks this journal twentyfirst on its list of Software Engineering journals by citation. [1]. 24.151.116.25 (talk) 20:36, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I added indexing information to the article. The journal is indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded and SCOPUS and has an impact factor; per WP:NJournals, the journal thus satisfies criterion 1: The journal is considered by reliable sources to be influential in its subject area and passes threshold of notability for academic journals. While WP:NJournals is an essay, it has been essentially treated as policy by AfD folk in recent times. --Mark viking (talk) 23:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. A well-established journal by a major publisher, with its inclusion in SCIX and SCOPUS serving as the multiple sources of independent coverage needed for NJournals and GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:48, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Sizable impact factor, included in several selective major databases: meets WP:NJournals without any problem. I've edited the article to make it up-to-date (it has changed its name last year and the article will have to be moved once this AfD is closed). --Randykitty (talk) 14:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, maybe he's well know for co-starring on films with Clara Bow, but I'm surprised that I couldn't find enough in-depth sources for this article to be included on Wikipedia. If you find any other reliable sources about this person, let me know and I'll be as happy as all heck to withdraw this discussion. But as of now, it's possible this won't pass WP:ENT. EditorE (talk) 17:28, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I think all of you users who said to keep this article should read WP:NOTTEMPORARY. EditorE (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Response. Perhaps it is you who should read NOTTEMPORARY. He was a movie star (of sorts) in the 20s, therefore notable in that decade. Once notable, always notable, as far as Wikipedia is concerned. It is virtually certain that the star of multiple films was written of in the media of the day. The fact that there is little on the internet is not too surprising considering the earliness of his heyday. Still, a search of the New York Times archives is not unfruitful, despite the free previews being short. You can see that there's an article where Clara Bow denies being engaged to him, a review which states "The three principals in this picture, Miss Moran, Donald Keith and Larry i (sic) Kent, are easy in their acting", another that says "Donald Keith is highly satisfactory as Sven" and a couple of others where his name pops up in the preview. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:48, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. He starred or co-starred in at least half a dozen films, including Parisian Love and The Plastic Age (which should probably have an article), and fourth billing on The Way of All Flesh. That satisfies ENT #1. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:07, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I added a photo of him and Clara to his template. Maybe a poster from The Plastic Age from Commons, his most well known movie and still survives. There's enough relevant info to let people know who he was. I just want to add that there are several minor female performers from silents who have wiki articles with no problem, some not as famous as Keith. Also, some articles of famous people ie Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Charles Manson prattle on too long and could use massive doses of trimming. If those long articles are allowed then there has to be a space for Donald Keith and even maybe a female performer like Ann Rork, who came into silent films on the arms of her producer father Sam Rork. Koplimek (talk) 18:33, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. WP:ENT point 1 "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films" satisfied by starring in The Plastic Age and fourth on cast list of Special Delivery and The Way of the Flesh, as linked in the article. Ironically, the nominator should read WP:NOTTEMPORARY himself, since it can never be a reason for deleting an article. Dricherby (talk) 09:19, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a painting by a Canadian artist that had its 5 minutes of fame after being posted in Reddit (as a sort of inside joke because it features a cat, and Reddit is big on cats).

Notability claims are tenuous, at best most of the awards are minor, mostly lacking notability themselves, some are simply marketing. I re-list mostly because the previous listing from 5 years ago was tainted by some pretty serious sockpuppeting, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Dr90s/Archive. Яehevkor ✉ 23:09, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd vote against deletion, because Top Ten Reviews is a major site on the web. If anyone wanted to put some effort into the article, multiple citations could be found that were more notable than these awards. I'd write a better article myself, but I'm an employee of the parent company, so it would be a conflict. Jfp999 (talk) 23:18, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, considering that the guy who nominated the page for deletion edited the article just prior to nominating it to remove the majority of the article, I'd say this is a pretty shoddy process. Jfp999 (talk) 00:05, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's the 209th largest web site in the United States according to Quantcast (https://www.quantcast.com/toptenreviews.com), and that actually understates it. That certainly qualifies as notable for websites. Here's 4 reputable links that I found with about 5 minutes effort on Google: http://paidcontent.org/2010/01/12/419-toptenreviews-adds-1-5-million-in-funding/

Though, to be honest, I think the article given how little it contains should just be merged into the article on Tech Media Network (the parent company) Jfp999 (talk) 03:11, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Might want to go through Wikipedia:Notability (web) to see if it can pass any of those criterias. I'll go through them myself later to see if this article can be salvaged. If not, a redirect would be my second preferred option, if this website is as popular as you say. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 05:20, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
One criteria is "The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization." The OMMA award certainly qualifies for that. They are well known in media circles. The American Business Awards are well known also. There's also been plenty of magazine and newspaper coverage of Top Ten Reviews since it's founding. But, as I said, my opinion is unless somebody wants to actually put some effort into the article, it should just be redirected to the parent company page.

I've declined a WP:CSD#A7 on this as the article does have some news sources such as this one, so he's not completely and utterly insignificant, but neverthless I don't believe there's enough significant coverage to make a full article out him. In particular, this Guardian source is a blatant bit of puffery, since I get the impression that the article just picked a handful of any students it could muster opinion from, and printed them as part of a piece on something else.

- Interesting point this legal recognition is. Now there are two main problems in finding proper stuff. One is that this spelling might not be the most popular one.

- Keep - Well, I hate to dissent, but I feel that this would rise to a little more than WP:ONEEVENT. While the assassination seems to be what it prominent in the news right now, there are sources that state that he was the leader of Muttahida Qaumi Movement.[4] While much of the press is about the assassination, this is big news in his country. It is also a political assassination, not just an ordinary murder that people often try to spam Wikipedia with. It is also now reported that the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, the rival political party, claimed responsibility for the attack which make this a little more than just an assassination, but what can be considered a terrorist attack as it was carried out by a terrorist organization (the Taliban). Criterion #2 of WP:POLITICIAN states "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage" is a criterion for notability. Although he was only running for political office, he is still a "major local political figure" where he was from and received press associated with such. According to this article, he was a target of planned assassinations by the Taliban. I look at this as a "political assassination carried out by a terrorist organization" (my words) as opposed to a politician "known only for getting shot" (words of nominator). So, my opinion is to keep the article or alternatively create an article for Assassination of Fakhrul Islam or Assassination of Pakistan Provincial Assembly Candidates in 2013 or something similar. Finally, if this does end up with a delete consensus, it should be redirected anyway. WP:POLITICIAN states "the general rule is to redirect to an appropriate page covering the election or political office sought in lieu of deletion." As such, either a redirect or delete consensus should be redirected to Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Member of the Provincial Assembly, or something similar.--FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 15:33, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Assuming redirect, this would be my article of choice. We could add the information into that section and redirect accordingly. Good Find!! --FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 18:30, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The source quoted starts with "A Muttahida Qaumi Movement leader," not THE leader, and that's ONE source, not "sources." His alleged leadership notwithstanding, he doesn't appear anywhere in the rather extensive, and heavily sourced, Muttahida Qaumi Movement article. I don't have objections myself to a redirect, but perhaps the opinion of those editors who've been maintaining the MQM article should be solicited. Ravenswing 20:24, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You bring up a good point about MQM editors. My contention is based on him being a "major local" political figure. Would it be considered WP:CAN to solicit an opinion from those working in WP:PAK?--FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 22:23, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Done. You can see the thread here.--FoolMeOnce2Times (talk) 00:38, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it's a canvassing violation at all. WP:CANVASS specifically warns against seeking to influence one side of a debate. I don't claim to be unusually knowledgeable on Pakistani politics, and should there be local, reliable sources that have anything to say on the subject's notability beyond the ONEEVENT nature of his assassination, those editors would have a lot better chance of knowing that than I do. Ravenswing 06:48, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect to Mitt_Romney_presidential_campaign,_2012#Little_Face_Mitt_and_Other_Memes. On reconsideration, Keep. This phrase has more staying power than I thought at first. In addition to February's Jeopardy usage referenced in the article, in June a Washington Post correspondent likened a less-than-impressive Miss America contestant's response to Gov. Romney's: "'The income inequality question is difficult enough on its own,' writes Post opinion columnist Alexandra Petri. “When it was posed to Mitt Romney back during the debates, he wound up coming up with Binders Full of Women. And ever since it hit the public consciousness, that 40 percent figure has been inspiring people to insert their feet into their mouths and wiggle them around.'"

The Jeopardy episode and others show that the phrase is still known by the general public. Additionally, this phrase affected the campaign significantly, by making women's rights a prominent issue. C.f. You Didn't Build That. --Crazyfirex (talk) 01:03, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Still notable and important. As this books.google search shows there are already 8 books on the 2012 election and they all mention it and I'm sure have a page or two at least. It's got good references; I don't know if any of the ones I added at the talk page were added to the article. But these should have been:
- Other 2013 references include: Washington Post, June 2013 (several on the same topic), NBC June 2013, Sam Houston State University newspaper June 2013. The phrase will be hanging around long after the following ones which have articles are forgotten (in fact, I've never heard of any of them): And I don't care what it is, Mayberry Machiavelli, Don't Just Vote, Get Active, Series of tubes, etc. If you are looking for something to delete, these look like a good place to start. This 3rd AfD seems like a persistent case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. CarolMooreDC - talk to me🗽 02:00, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - First of all, I have some reflections on this nomination. I think representing the keep comments from the previous AfD as "parroting" is unfair and inaccurate. If anything, the four "Redirect per TDA" comments might have actually been parroting (or parodying?). The phrase "Binders full of women" was used only once by Mr. Romney, but was used hundreds if not thousands of more times by other people, even recently. It was not completely forgotten after one week.
- There are numerous, prominent sources with which to establish notability and the article has substantive content. There are several books that discuss the phrase, for example here, here, here, here,here, here, here, and here. I also found 49 newspaper articles that have mentioned the phrase just this year, in the US, Europe, Australia and Asia. Here's one from less than a week ago. I found mentions in 747 newspaper articles from last year. Finally, I found 31 newspaper articles that use the phrase "Binders Full of Women" in their headlines. It was even discussed on 26 February 2013 on MSNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, mentioning its use on Jeopardy as a category. Also reported here.
- Binders full of women has been a topic of discussion on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, BBC and NPR. It's been discussed by Jim Leher, Charlie Rose, Don Imus, Bill O'Reilly, Lou Dobbs, Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie, Al Sharpton, Norah O'Donnell, Rachel Maddow, Brian Williams and Barack Obama to name but a few. It's also an internet meme.
- It seems that there is a lasting effect. People are still talking about it. What made it notable is the person who said it and the political climate at the time it was said (see War on women). It was an absolutely a foot-in-mouth moment and the media took notice, and is still taking notice. We can't reasonably expect volumes of scholarly analysis on those four hysterically unfortunate words. The fact that several books, newspapers, magazines, broadcast news organizations, blogs and social networks are still repeating it, more than establishes notability for our purposes. - MrX 16:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I don't know what I could add to the thorough arguments made above, and the article itself which is well sourced. Comments like, "Best to do such AfD's on a quiet holiday week in August, however... if you want it buried quietly!" and "Surely the best time is to CSD something at about 3am Christmas Day?" imply that a regular consensus would be against deletion.

- Keep. Ongoing coverage in reliable sources make this pass both WP:EFFECT and WP:PERSISTENCE. Retrospective analyses and 'what went wrong'-type write ups will continue to make reference to this incident (we'll see more of these in the run-up to the 2016 elections).

- Keep I remember when this came in and it was really funny at the time. I love the t-shirt picture. I still feel as I did then, that someone should go discover some of the women in those "binders" and then link articles back to this one. I would love to know what he meant, because he said it with such conviction. There's no question this term is part of the historical record now, but Wikipedia is the right place to pick it apart and dissect it into what the term represented when it was said. My gut feeling is that there IS a binder somewhere, and I would love to know who is in it, and who compiled it, and why. Jane (talk) 08:03, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I've explained my position in two prior AfDs, two and a half merge proposals and repeated dramafests on the talk page. I have not changed my opinion. There is plenty of shit on Wikipedia for people to not like. If we delete it all, we'll be left with one very short article with one bland sentence that water might be wet, though some[who?] reject the objectivist bias inherent in the statement. This is not about Romney. If those who hated Romney were to pick a topic to have an article to demonstrate why they hate him, this wouldn't be it. The number of people who decided to vote against him based on this topic is probably smaller than the number of people who voted for him based on the shape of his nose. There is more than enough coverage to show that this phrase was notable. There is more than enough to show that it is notable. There can never be enough coverage for anyone to like it.

- While I don't have a transcript of which pundit said that where, a post-election search brought up the below; note all the ones just from last two weeks. Smells like WP:PERSISTENCE to me:
- Daily Mail calls it one of the best quotes of the year; 12/9/12
- Mirror pointing out as one of top 5 gaffes that lost him the election; 11/7/12
- Jezebel] magazine (also reprinted at CounterPunch):This War on Women awakened a sleeping giant. Ladies were paying attention, as the 2012 election proved. Romney and his "binders full of women" was sent packing, and the 113th Congress now has 20 female Senators, the most it's had in all of U.S. history. 2/14/13

This was the driving beat of news and internet activity following the statement. Its a partisan thing that the Romney side wishes and wishes would go away--would have gone away before the election, Thus I suggest the act of trying to remove this element of history from WP is WP:POV. So I throw another Trout at the nominator and the partisans who repeatedly attack this article. Trackinfo (talk) 18:16, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Completing good faith nomination by IP editor 166.147.104.20, whose rationale was posted on the article's talk page and is included verbatim below. On the merits, I have no real opinion, except to note that this article feels much more like a disambiguation page than a proper list. The fact that we have so many articles on albums of the same name means that we likely need something to sort them out - is this list that something? Hell if I know.

- Comment No longer the highest ranking fatality in Iraq. Colonel appears to be the highest rank of any U.S. military deaths in the Iraq war. According to an Associated Press database of U.S. military deaths in Iraq, at least eight other Army or Army Reserve colonels have died in the now-5-year-old war. At least one of those was promoted to that rank posthumously. [17] Hawkeye7 (talk) 03:58, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, the Associated Press has a searchable database and based on its search results, there were 32 LTC and COLs, of which 10 were COLs that were killed in Iraq; in addition there was one Navy Captain killed in Iraq as well. The only way to determine which is the highest ranked, is to see who had the highest time in grade, as I am not aware of any general or flag officers killed in Iraq. Now general or flag officers would be considered notable per WP:SOLDIER, Colonels or Navy Captains are not considered presumed notable (as general and flag officers go through congressional approval and are technically presidential appointments here in the United States). The question is does the subject of this AfD meet WP:GNG, or received considerable coverage outside of the subject's death (which is questionable). Now if the subject only received significant coverage due to their death than I can understand WP:NOTMEMORIAL being applicable.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong keep. There are serious structural problems with WP:SOLDIER that does not tally with WP:GNG, the bar for inclusion is to high. WP:NOTMENORIAL is not a deletion guideline, or valid reason for deletion. With regards to WP:GNG Colonel is not an insignificant rank, and he gains some notability for having died. Overall, there is enough sourcing to have it kept. It is not a privacy invasion of a low level person because he is dead. The topic is event complete because of his death. Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:59, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Er...the bar of WP:SOLDIER is deliberately high, as it's intended to "catch" notable personages who are missed by WP:GNG. If somebody passes WP:GNG/WP:NPERSON then whether they meet WP:SOLDIER or not is irrelevant - WP:SOLDIER only comes into play for people who aren't otherwise notable. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:21, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - War is a sad thing, but unfortunately, we just don't have enough available sourcing to write an article for every solider with a respectable rank that died in action.

- That said, I'm sorry but I don't really have the time to dedicate to fleshing out an article and chasing down references. I edit WP from my real life work and most of my WP work is answering questions and reverting vandalism. I do have two suggestions for you though. First, the easiest way for this article to be kept is for you to remove any promotional language while adding in references to reliable sources. And secondly, if it does get deleted, ask an admin to place the text in a sandbox in your userspace. That way you still have most/all of the text and you can refine it before posting it to the main WP space. Just because it gets deleted, doesn't mean that it can never been posted again. You may want to go through WP:AFC next time though. Peace, Dismas|(talk) 02:31, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Please familiarize yourself with the article before you conclude on notability
CorporateM, Thank you for pointing out on areas for improvement in my article. Before you reach a final consensus re:AfD, please understand that Conflict of Interest is obsolete. Otherwise, the article will be improved.
Please don't bite the newcomers. New members are prospective contributors and are therefore Wikipedia's most valuable resource.
- Delete - fails WP:BIO, sources do not demonstrate notability. Note to agringaus: there is no need to comment on every "delete", make your point once and leave it at that. Repeating your comments ad nauseam does not help your case. - ukexpat (talk) 14:52, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete after checking all sources I agree that there is not significant coverage, since the mentions of Hauser are trivial (and, as has been stated, several of them do not mention Hauser at all - although there has been some pruning of irrelevant sources since the article was first nominated, I think.) --bonadea contributions talk 15:49, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. I am going to go ahead and close this based on WP:SNOWBALL. Article has greatly improved since the point it was nominated, including information that credibly grants notability. The only standing delete vote cites a lack of evidence from reliable sources, which has been provided since that delete comment was made. Safiel (talk) 03:01, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I procedurally declined the PROD on the article, since the article had been earlier prodded and declined. In any event, notability is questionable. I am not familiar with the sport, nor with whether the Mr. World competition is a notable enough competition to grant the subject notability by the fact that he won it. Other than that, a Google search leads me to weak delete at the moment. Change to keep. Safiel (talk) 03:00, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment A lot of the bodybuilding history has not been transferred onto the cloud for reference especially events that occurred prior to 1996- deleting this article will only contribute to less coverage of this history as it relates directly to World History- as bodybuilding has been a way for some nations to connect to others through this sport, Sometimes more than Olympic Athletes, Bodybuilders has been the iconic symbol of pride for nations and the iconic symbol of human development- dating before the Roman Era to Greek Era to Biblical - the development of the Human body was recorded in History and captured in Sculptures we see in museums (ie the Sculpture of David as it reflects the elite level of fitness of the human body of the time). So much of that history was lost, we should do our best to allow our history be preserved- especially the history that was pre-internet - for future generations to have references that our generation lost. - NikkosInc (talk) 20:08, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep without prejudice. I share RHaworth's concern that the article is lacking in reliable sources. There are currently four sources cited in the article: Muscular Development magazine, a local newspaper, published correspondence by a journalist, and the Arab Press. It's borderline, but since the article is so new, I'd rather give it some more time to develop. If, after a month or three, the sourcing problems are still there, then I say it's in order to open a second AfD. —C.Fred (talk) 20:35, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article is about a projected five book series of fantasy novels with the first one not due until late 2014. This seems to be a case of WP:TOOSOON.

- Delete... for now. There's more about this upcoming book than others out there, but in the end all we have are announcements that this will happen. I'm willing to userfy this until more sources become available. The big issue is that all announced plans have tendencies to fall through. Book deals hit a standstill when writer's block hits. Movie deals fall through because they sit in limbo forever. There are a million things that can (and have) happened to keep a book series from releasing. Until we have more coverage, this will have to be a delete. Since we have two authors for this, there's no way to pick and choose which one it should redirect to. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:12, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect I suppose I can't really make much of an argument for why it isn't WP:TOOSOON based on the criteria. I'll just say that the reason I made the page is because I came here looking for information about it and couldn't find any. As Tokyogirl79 noted, because there are two authors there wasn't a clear place to add the information that I did find, so I made a new page. If it's deleted, I think it should be redirected to one of the authors and the info placed there. I'm not sure which one - I've seen them listed in both orders. Black is alphabetical, but Clare is often listed first, perhaps because she's more well known. Caseylf (talk) 13:11, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete LIke Tokyogirl said, announcements can fall through. The fact that the book isn't out yet is definitely too soon for an article. Bring it back when it's published and becomes notable. Dusti*poke* 00:32, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - For now and recreate if necessary later. Announcements can fall through, and even though there is much more known about this than other unpublished books—probably because Clare and Black are so famous—it's still much too soon. I'm normally all for redirecting, but since it's a collaboration, there's no place to redirect to. As Caseylf mentioned, Clare is arguably more famous, but Black comes first in the alphabet. It would be easier to delete and recreate in a little over a year. öBrambleberry of RiverClan 13:55, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
