- Delete; apart from the nomination, it's an unsourced list with perennially poor quality. bobrayner (talk) 02:05, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- One need only look at Category:Schools in Hyderabad, India to see that there are apparently plenty of notable schools that could fill a proper list of this scope. Whether it's worth it to rework this list or just blow it up and start over (i.e., delete without prejudice) is another question, but it's unquestionably a valid potential list subject. postdlf (talk) 02:36, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Undecided: I agree, this list is horribly poor quality; as many such lists tend to degrade to such a state. I'm not much of a fan of lists anyway. Categories can provide lists in a more proper state. This is not well sourced nor watched over, it seems. I'm perhaps saying 'begin again' but with little hope of improvement down the proverbial road. Fylbecatulous talk 13:32, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: nomination rationale have two points 1) Wikipedia is not directory — please see hundreds of similar articles and 2) notability — it is a list of school, so, notability is not valid point. As postdlf has referred the category, from web too, we can collect sources for individual schools. --Tito Dutta (contact) 22:41, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just a case of OTHER CRAP. Faizan -Let's talk! 06:18, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Greetings, the first point of the nominator was Wikipedia is not a directory, the search link above shows that hundreds of such article exists. So, if WPDIR is applicable, it should be applicable to all, not just a list of Hyderabad, India! If that's so, they should gain consensus from TFC. This single AFD will take nowhere. The second point dealt with notability etc. Frankly, a large number of Indian cities have such lists, I don't understand why this articles has been AFDed! --Tito Dutta (contact) 07:56, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep This is the accepted to for handling this. Since it is accepted that all secondary schools are notable, and all primary schools should be redirected to the town or district. given the variety here, this will normally be the best place to redirect to. It's an except to the fact that all the entires must be notable , becuase list articles like this are how we handle the unnotable ones. DGG ( talk ) 06:31, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a person who has served in some extremely minor political roles such as staff member to a state senator and state governor, as well as a temporary member (not leader or chair, just a member) of the Texas Railroad Commission for a half-year. He was also one of 3 heads of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, the state's environmental agency for several years. None of these are elected positions, and to my knowledge appointees to state commissions are not inherently noble, this this is a failure of WP:POLITICIAN. What little sourcing there is is routine and local, the simple reporting of a "so-and-so was appointed to such-and-such" variety, thus a failure of the WP:GNG. Tarc (talk) 23:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Obviously meets WP:POLITICIAN as I said when declining prod. He was not just "one of three heads", but the head as he served as chairman of the TCEQ and previously was the deputy secretary of state. Garcia was not some low-profile bureaucrat and the sourcing is anything but routine or local. Clearly, Tarc has not honored WP:BEFORE if thinks the coverage is all local and routine, though "local" coverage across a state more populous than most countries is nothing to sneeze at either.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 00:13, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:POLITICIAN is primarily intended to cover elected officials, as noted by part 3, "Just being an elected local official..." which does not even cover all elected positions 100%. If it doesn't 100% cover those elected to a position , then it most certainly does not extend automatically to non-elected officials. As for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Garcia held the chair of a 3-man committee. Again, not in itself a notable position. As for WP:BEFORE, it is not policy or even guideline, merely an essay-like suggestion. I always do brief searches for sources before nominating an article though, so the suggestion that this was nominated without checking is, bluntly, bullshit. There are press releases and scant coverage of jobs this man has taken and jobs this man has left. Nothing more of substance, though TDA is invited to try to find these mythical sources rather than browbeat the deletion discussion. The suggestion that the size of Texas makes its local coverage more notable than local coverage in an other state..or another country for that matter...is almost too laughable to address. "Everything is bigger in Texas" is a product of regional ego, not terribly applicable to the English Wikipedia and how it decides notability. Tarc (talk) 01:28, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:POLTICIAN also explicitly applies to judges, who are often not elected, so your suggestion that him being appointed means that it doesn't apply is mistaken. Indeed, if it applied to only popularly-elected officials this would mean countries where the highest-ranking official in a major subdivision is appointed would be excluded. Still if you want some sources that will make his notability seem more compelling to you then here you go.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 04:47, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. The nominator is incorrect: the Texas Railroad Commission is a statewide elected body, and a powerful one, "historically one of the most important regulatory bodies in the nation" and "an important actor on the national energy stage".[1]. WP:POLITICIAN does not exclude someone who is appointed to fill a vacancy for this elective position, any more than would be someone appointed to a vacancy for any other elected statewide office. Such an exclusion rule would leave pointless gaps in our coverage, gaps that don't yield any benefit for those who may come here for information about this important elected body. Contrary to the nominator's intemperate edit summary comment when nominating this for AfD[2], the deprodding editor was hardly "obstinate" in exercising xis right to move a questionable prod to full consideration and taking the time to examine the question more carefully is not a "waste [of] 7 days".--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:45, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I didn't say the Railroad COmmission wasn't an elected bosdy, so kindly take your strawman construction elsewhere. This person was appointed to it on an interim basis. The rest of your comment is quite easily dismissed as an WP:ITSUSEFUL hand-wave. Tarc (talk) 03:44, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This fulfills each part of the genereal notability guidelines. The refs are specifically about him, they are RS. It is an important position. Don't see a reason to delete.Capitalismojo (talk) 15:20, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Held multiple statewide offices of some prominence, and thus clearly satisfies WP:POLITICIAN. Has a marginal claim to GNG on the basis of sources quoted in the article as well. RayTalk 15:33, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable journal, fails GNG; whether or not it belongs on the list of "predatory" OA publishers, it doesn't meet our standards of notability. Note also that the PROD a few months ago was removed by a sockpuppet of Scholarscentral. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 05:46, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- While we're at it -- what to do about all the separate articles on all the individual journals, articles created by the same creator?

- Comment The nom probably means "non-notable publisher", not journal :-) I'm hesitating about this one. At least one of their journals is legitimate enough to be included in the Journal Citation Reports with a sizeable impact factor: Evolutionary Bioinformatics. While that article needs some cleanup, it is not even overtly promotional. Analytical Chemistry Insights is in Scopus and we generally take that as meeting WP:NJournals. So are Cancer Informatics, Clinical Medicine: Oncology (that title is incorrect, BTW), and Biomarker Insights. So some journals seem to fail our notability guidelines, whereas others meet it. In general, when a publisher produces several notable journals, we tend to keep the article on the publisher, too. The article on this publisher needs some re-writing to remove some promotional stuff, but there is at least one good source (Poynders blog -a reliable source- listed in the EL section). --Randykitty (talk) 11:00, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep per DGG. Mention in Journal Citation reports is enough to show that they have some notability on the academic scene. RayTalk 21:41, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I've had the list of journals related to this on my to-do list for a while. Other than EB, I don't believe the other journals for which there are pages are notable, and are probably better deleted or redirected somewhere. DGG, is there a particular policy that you base this on? If there's a publisher who's only claim to notability is a single journal, I'm not sure it should have a separate article. a13ean (talk) 22:28, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Response What else does a publisher do but publish journals? If they publish notable ones, they are notable. The question is if there is only one--and here my argument is the same as with authors of a single notable book, that if they succeed, they are likely to have others become notable also. I see 13 of their journals are now in Scopus, so although I am reluctant to use Scopus alone for the notability of a journal, I think it's an indication of at least partial notability for them. Getting in JCR for a new publisher not linked with a major society is quite an accomplishment. DGG ( talk ) 01:49, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- →Davey2010→→Talk to me!→ 14:29, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as the subject of multiple instances of independent published coverage. For instance, HERE is an outstanding, history-driven piece on the website CycleEXIF entitled, "Brodie Bikes: The True Story." And while THIS piece on the site Vancouver Is Awesome may or may not count towards GNG, it is indicative that there is solid source material available for expansion and improvement of the piece. And THIS on the website of Mountain Life Magazine is all about the 2013 Brody product line and includes another short interview that could be mined for content by a serious Wikipedian. This is just scraping the very top of a simple Google search (see WP:BEFORE). Any problems with commercial tone (which I really am not seeing) are easily fixable through the normal editing process. Clearly a flying pass of GNG for this small Canadian bike manufacturing company. Carrite (talk) 15:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep As a Vancouverite, Brodie has quite a history with North Shore mountain biking, as well as notable manufacturers and athletes at the helm. I was surprised at such a small article, not to mention the lack of an article about Paul Brodie, considering his recent induction into the MTB hall of fame.

With reference to User talk:GB fan, added this page for deletion discussion based on WP:CSD#A7 WP:CSD#G11.
Page was initially listed for speedy, based on A7 and G11, but denied; as to stop a speedy deletion all it takes is a claim of significance. Claim of significance made by User:WestEndKat remains questionable - if sock or not, TBD by wiki security, refer to log: (Film Annex: Revision history) - appears to be inactive user now.
Be that as it may, the point here is that the article in question, is in essence, promotional, and as such a violation of guidelines, rules and policy. The Initial Claim is unsubstantiated, it is promotional and self-promotional by proxy (using notability circumvention)
Here is why:
Quote: "page should not be speedily deleted because... the Women's Annex Channel is very important..."
1) the Women's Annex Channel IS NOT Film Annex. Thus, question remains, why Film Annex should remain as article entry?
2) Notability (or the lack thereof) is verifiable. Looking at the references (1. through 19.) none of them are actual news coverage from economist, bloomberg, or any other independent, or verifiable source. References 20 through 22 are blatantly self-promotional.
3) Section "Notable Channels" refers to an individual, Roya Mahboob, who has a channel on Filmannex, as do others have channels on Youtube, Vimeo, or anywhere else. Section "Philantropy" is not referenced, and thus NOT verified by any other outside independent source. This is questionable practice, at the very least.
4) Fact is: Here is a private entity, i.e. filmannex.com, allowed having an article on WP, which violates basic WP guidelines, rules and WP credibility.
Based on 1)-4) the question arises: is this attempting to circumvent WP:N Notability? If so, the article should be deleted. Wikipatrolwatch (talk) 13:59, 8 May 2013 (UTC) Wikipatrolwatch (talk) 21:02, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Agree with Erik: Neither Messin3 nor Rand49503 nor WestEndKat have added or addressed anything as for coverage from secondary sources to indicate notability. Based on this and looking at the 'Keep' votes, it appears there is either vote stacking, sockpuppets (or meatpuppets) in play here (check & cross-reference history from main page and AfD history), % Thus: Erik, could you plese notify Wiki security about this?

- I do not know internet slang but "meat puppet" sounds like my husband is mad at me :) I met Film Annex and Roya Mahboob through my friends at Global Medical Relief Fund on Staten Island. Maybe supporting the women of Afghanistan is not "Notable" here on Wiki, but it certainly is on Staten Island. I will bow out here after this post but maybe people should look at what is going on in Afghanistan. Positive stories are few and far between in Afghanistan. If that is not "Notable", please explain to Wiki readers what is? WestEndKat (talk) 00:42, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- In reference to Erik's comment, my account was started as part of a project for my BUS 256 class in Business Ethics, as part of a section we are doing on the involvement of businesses in non-profit organizations. Unfortunately, I haven't been the most consistent editor, but my comment from this morning was just trying to say that many non-profit organizations start from business investments (which are motivated by the govt's and that not acknowledging that wouldn't clearly explain the history of the projects mentioned in this page. What I can agree with, is that maybe this article does not meet wikipedia's notability and objectivity guidelines in its current form, but my counter to that is that if you consider the history of Ms. Mahboob's projects, you would have to mention this company, either in an article or a sentence integrated into another article, as part of the process that contributed to this charity being formed.

Since the 'Capture of USS Argus' article has had its contents copied/pasted to a section in the main article I saw no reason to not have it deleted. Do you really think this simple merge/deletion needs to be discussed in all the various forums user:czar posted to?

Contested PROD: my original concern was that Sorribes Tormo does not pass the tennis notability guidelines.

In addition to this, Sorribes Tormo has never won a $50,000 ITF tournament or better.

Television episode with no notability. Binksternet (talk) 18:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Final episode of season four of a TV series that has 73 out of its 84 episodes with their own articles. - RandomEcho (talk) 18:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What if most of those 73 were turned into redirects to List of Community episodes? Most of them are just bare frameworks to present the plot to the reader, so what importance does that have for the encyclopedia? None. A bunch of the episode articles violate WP:TVPLOT by having too much text in the plot section, for instance there is "The Politics of Human Sexuality" which is almost entirely plot, more than 900 words even though TVPLOT allows a maximum of 500. "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" violates TVPLOT with a plot section word count of almost 700, but at least that article has context and healthy sections about production and reception—it would be one of the few that are not redirected to the list of episodes.

- In response to concerns about the synopsis length, I have edited it down to 498 words which is in accordance to WP:TVPLOT. That said, issues with other articles are exactly that. Issues with other articles and not issues with this article. Mpen320. Also, as the season finale (I just read the series has been renewed) it is notable, but even by itself it is notable.

- Keep: While yes the article could use improvement in how it is written, we Wikipedians should just improve the article. It is premature to dismiss this article as insignificant as it is a season finale and up until recently, could have been the series finale.

This page in completely unmanageable. The prices of elements and compounds can vary considerably in very short time spans making the information contained here completely unreliable unless it is updated very often such as weekly. Most of the article content is currently way out of date and therefore highly inaccurate. Prices also vary considerably depending on source, purity, quantity and many other market factors. How could we possibly list all possible and/or relevant product price variations? By including chemical compounds, this list is also almost unlimited in scope - each element can have literally hundreds of different compounds. There is simply no practical way to present this kind of fluid, variable, time-sensitive information as an encyclopedia article. This page is also a magnet for advertisers - for example, it includes dozens of links to metal-pages.com which has been spammed across multiple Wikipedia articles. If there is a need for the inclusion in Wikipedia of the price of specific element or chemical compounds, it would be best handled at the corresponding element/compound article instead.

- Keep--the topic is notable and interesting. Really one of the better topics for a list (even though the treatment is not there yet). Yes, the article is not well organized or maintained, but so is most of Wikipedia. It has many RSes and with enough effort could be made into a masterpiece. The table includes the date, source, and caveats associated with the pricing. I don't expect us to track the every day gyrations of some commodity prices, but the real value is in the relative magnitudes as Xxanthippe says and the compilation of price estimates for non-traded elements from many disparate sources. Improvements could be to make the table sortable, and retitle to be prices of the elements (the complaint about that is a tickytack one...read the article and it is clear that there is no intention to track all compound prices, just that some elements are only priced as within the compound.)

- Delete An odd case and maybe it could be salvaged, but ultimately I agree with ChemNerd that, "If there is a need for the inclusion in Wikipedia of the price of specific element or chemical compounds, it would be best handled at the corresponding element/compound article instead." This article does appear unworkable. Bondegezou (talk) 16:13, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, but definitely needs cleanup. I don't see the problem with fluctuating prices as long as we have "as of" statements and it's a pretty common thing to list.

Fails WP:GNG. The characters featured in a board game is not a notable topic. These are not developed characters with backgrounds or involved in plot lines as you would see in a book.

See Who killed Cluedo's Col Mustard?, for example. The topic is therefore quite notable and our focus should be updating the article to include this new information.

AldezD (talk) 15:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I think there are probably some sources to be had, per the Colonel above. I also think that a 60k byte article is a legitimate fork/split where merging it back to Cluedo#Suspects would be impractical, even if consistent with the Monopoly (game)#Tokens example above. But please let's come to a consensus here - taking this to DRV will be painful if we first have to work out who deleted the Cluedo characters! Stalwart111 23:48, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The nomination is simply an unsupported assertion. In fact, the characters in a board game are also those in a major motion picture. The nominator has not documented any effort to find sources, but has mistakenly implied that a five-year-old article is irrelevant, contra WP:NTEMP. Jclemens (talk) 03:24, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The motion picture is the only aspect of Cludeo/Clue in which there is any characterization of the playing pieces. All other aspects of this article simply compare differences about playing pieces from a board game. One or two lines on a playing card for each pawn is not a characterization. The article also includes intricate detail about two characters from the film who each have one line of dialogue and only appear as corpses later in the film. That information -- at best -- should be merged into Clue (film) instead of appearing in a separate article. AldezD (talk) 13:05, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The comparison of characters between different versions of the game is interesting, and the crossover of the characters into other media (e.g. the motion picture) provides sufficient depth for an article. --Srleffler (talk) 04:23, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:ILIKEIT/"it's interesting" is not a valid argument for inclusion. These are not crossover characters. AldezD (talk) 13:05, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The article is overlong and overdetailed but it's still a legitimate topic with coverage in reliable sources[7][8][9][10][11]. In addition it has legitimacy as a break-out from the main article on the game. The example of Monopoly tokens isn't very relevant because they're just objects and don't have any backstory or personality in films/games/etc, there's far fewer, they're changed less often, etc. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:48, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I was willing to improve the article and I did add an infobox to it. I removed three links provided as citations, which were by no means reliable sources. They were just links to websites that allow one to create one's own ebooks. Then, I googled the novel's the author's name to see if I could find any reliable sources at all, but I couldn't. Everything I could find was from the same website. No coverage in news publications or anything at all. Clearly a non-notable novel. It may be worth noting that the author does not have a Wikipedia article on him either. The ISBN code doesn't seem a valid one either. smtchahal(talk) 14:32, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Completely willing and able to make any changes necessary here, too -- but this is a noteworthy, well-cited, multi-million dollar, previously publicly traded company.

This is definitely in violation of WP:COI. As for the article, it does read WP:SPAMmy in part. And it is certainly not balanced. The awards are from an affiliation organization of which the article's topic is a business partner ([see also this]). I.e., more WP:COI.

Doesn't seem to meet WP:NAUTHOR. I declined an A7 CSD on this due to the BSFA award, but really, fan awards such as this aren't much of an indicator of notability.Haven't found any sources beyond his own website, sales sites and passing mentions here and there; nothing sufficient for a pass of WP:GNG. Yunshui 雲水 10:45, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, the BSFA Award is no more a "fan award" than the Hugo Award is. After the Arthur C Clarke Award, it is the most notable genre fiction award in the UK, and has been awarded to novels since 1970 and short fiction since 1980.Tanzeelat (talk) 14:02, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just quoting the BSFA's website. They seem to be at pains to point out that it's a fan award, which effectively, it is - winners are voted for by the BSFA's membership, rather than judged by a panel like the ACCAs. Nothing wrong it that, but technically it does make the BSFA a fan award - as, incidentally, is the Hugo. Yunshui 雲水 21:56, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The main problem with this argument is that we're not given a good reason as to why a fan award isn't an indicator of notability. The Hugo is a fan award. It's also considered the most influentual award in the field of written American science fiction, so why wouldn't it be an indicator of notability? The field of British science fiction takes the BSFA awards seriously. I would argue that, in itself, is a reason for us to do the same. There is no inherent disqualification if an award is a fan award, what matters is the role it plays. /82.199.181.2 (talk) 10:18, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The criterion says "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor"--nothing about who gives that award or honor. The BSFA Award is well-known and significant in the U.S. and U.K. speculative fiction publishing and fan communities. rosefox (talk) 04:54, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Checking his isfdb listing, I see he has a reasonable body of work, some of which seems to have been reviewed by sfsignal, Strange Horizons, and Locus, among others, so I'd say he meets the notability guidelines, although the article really could use being filled out a bit more. He's quite a prolific reviewer, I see Geoffrey.landis (talk)

He'll most likely qualify for an article if he wins, given Atlanta's status as a major city whose city council would count as sufficiently notable, but merely being a candidate for office is not enough to qualify someone for an article on here.

- Redirect to Georgia state elections, 2006#Georgia House of Representatives elections. The subject has received some slightly more than passing mention in multiple non-primary reliable sources, but none that I would consider significant coverage and thus it can be reasonably argued that the subject is not notable per GNG and ANYBIO. That being said, the subject of this AfD has ran for a statewide office and lost, and as such POLOUTCOMES apply and as such a redirect to that election is the common practice rather than outright deletion.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:57, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any of such events. It's not a sphere of either public interest or real competition between universities, or interest form global academic community. See , no one is there to cover and publicize its countrywide significance( I'm afraid this summer school is only one mathematical in Ukraine, no matter how (under)publicized it is.

Comment The article should be merged as a section in the main WWE article in a much condensed form.--Robustdsouza (talk) 18:57, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What is there to merge, bar for the "WWE asserted their copyrights and asked for their videos to be pulled down from YouTube" that the user above pointed out? The stuff about the senate campaign is better suited to articles relating to that campaign... there's already a bit about Youtube controversies on her campaign article here. Seems to me that this article is so bloated that everything in it pertaining to WWE, and not the Linda senate campaign, can be boiled down to a few sentences.
I wouldn't be opposed to reliably sourced content related to this issue being briefly mentioned on the WWE article but merging this bloated poorly sourced article into that one, as a whole (or only slightly condensed), would be a disaster.Scratch that, I would most likely be opposed to that as well. I'm not entirely sure how those boiled down sentences could improve the current WWE article.LM2000 (talk) 05:51, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I have some doubts about the charts for the previous years, since the disappearance of rt100.ro. The charts from 2011 and 2012 are based on the Airplay 100 broadcasted by Kiss FM, and that isn't the Official Romanian chart. Eddie Nixon (talk) 14:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is clearly a good article, and it IS official and valid, why? It compiles the data from Media Forest, the official national monitoring system in Romania (as well as in Israel, etc.) The number-one and the top-ten positions are clearly matching the data from mediaforest, and it was stated by UPFR (the Romanian Record Association) that mediaforest are the current valid collaborators, not Airplay 100.

- Comment I'm going to expand a bit here, because it would be a travesty if an article like this was retained because someone closed the AFD as "no consensus". By strength of argument, this one is a slam-dunk. There used to be a "Romanian Top 100": http://web.archive.org/web/20061023091928/http://www.rt100.ro/top-100-edition.html is an archived example of what used to be there. http://www.rt100.ro is dead, though.
- Innano1 has published a blog at http://romaniantop100.blogspot.ro where he adds together the various unrelated charts published by MediaForest (Note that the blogger links at http://romaniantop100.blogspot.ro leads you to http://www.blogger.com/profile/02260736934288394777 which lists STEFF1995S as a blogger id, and, per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Innano1, Innano1's original account was STEFF1995S). If he did this directly on Wikipedia, the WP:SYNTH violation would be obvious. For a Wikipedia editor to start a blog, do the synthesis in the blog, and then post the result here using the synthesis as a citations is unacceptable. It flies in the face of WP:RS.
- Note that Eddie Nixon's vote is based on a complete misunderstanding of WP:RS, and Innano1's vote is a vote for inclusion of material from his own blog.—Kww(talk) 16:30, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- My vote is biased because I'm from Romania and I think that Romanian Top 100 deserves its page on wikipedia. I agree that this page should be deleted, and also the page for 2012, because the last official source regarding the Romanian Top 100 is a podcast from Kiss FM dating 19 February 2012 (http://www.kissfm.ro/emisiuni/30/Romanian-Top-100.html). After that, Kiss FM broadcasted its own chart, Airplay 100 (http://www.kissfm.ro/emisiuni/54/Airplay-100.html) and the pages related to the chart on wikipedia were updated according to the new show. So I'm changing my vote to Delete, as long as the list from 2012 is deleted, as well as every other infos regarding the chart that were introduced after 19 February 2012 on Romanian Top 100.

Innano1/STEF1995S wanted to continue a "Romanian Top 100" listing after the "Romanian Top 100" list stopped being published, so he created a blog, manipulated the figures from Media Forest to suit his own needs, and then used that blog as a source for articles he was editing.—Kww(talk) 17:29, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete the NYTimes refs sound impressive, but they are just the reprint of the basic info on the movie from allmovieguide. IMdB does not list him as a producer on the films in the filmography, "Line producer" is apparently a very junior title. He lists himself as in 30 under 30, which is a promotional site at [13] and I think worth absolutely nothing towards notability. DGG ( talk ) 23:57, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I have attempted to help the original creator fix many of the links and references since its creation, and would hate to see this work go to waste. Please let me know how to improve it rather than simply delete. This is the second time user lexlex has proposed the article for deletion and appears not to be a disinterested third party. The reasons for deletion -- WP:Promo is currently an undefined reason for deletion. Article meets "Significant coverage" guidelines by having 32 third party references and 17 external sources that are "Reliable" and "Independent of the Subject" as defined by Wikipedia including the California Film Commission, Variety, New York Times, and Producers Guild of America, all of which are recognized as third party sources by Wikipedia. The 30 Summit [19] seems to be a third party source with no relation to this articles subject, but can delete this reference, if there is evidence otherwise. Line Producer is a legitimate function and nowhere in Wikipedia's description does it define this as a junior function. Wikipedia defines it as "a type of film producer who functions as the key manager during the daily operations of a feature film, television film or the episode of a TV program." Many Line Producers are currently listed on Wikipedia including Michael Williams, Christopher Sabat, Colleen Clinkenbeard, Zach Bolton, Danièle Gégauff. Also, there are many third party references to Producer credits for this individual including the New York Times [1].

- Comment I have no connection at all to the subject of the article and nominated it for deletion merely on form. I re-nominated it because it was just re-posted after it was deleted the first time. Sometimes a subject simply isn't notable enough for Wikipedia - yet. Things can always change, the subject can certainly become notable, but at this point I just don't see it. A line producer is no different than a construction site supervisor, a tough job but really not notable in any sense. I'm sorry you disagree, but give it time. If this guy keeps working and becomes notable or famous he will certainly appear here - but that has to happen first. Wikipedia attempts to reflect reality, not create it.

- Delete and here is why:
- First, the nominator cited that it's WiniBot365's only article. That is not a reason enough to nominate it for deletion, so I trust everyone here to ignore that sentiment. Plenty of new editors contribute single great articles (look at the education program, for example) so that isn't a case for nomination.
- I encourage everyone to read the guidelines for Creative professionals regarding notability.
- I did remove some weasel words and non-neutral language, as well as external links that were placed in the article, and excessive external links in the external links section. Please see WP:EXTERNAL to learn about how to use external links wisely.
- Some notes on the sources:
- First source appears to be a circular reference, thus failing the reference guidelines.
- The OV guide source fails WP:RELIABLE because it's basically publishing content created by the subject. Which makes it non reliable.
- The Studio System link doesn't provide any information about the subject, so, at first glance it's not reliable or useful at all. I can only assume good faith on source 5.
- The sources from Dartmouth, in theory, fail as reliable sources since they are directly associated with the subject, since he attends (or attended) Dartmouth. They can't be used to establish notability in this situation, because it's going to be a non-neutral source since he's a student there and they are naturally going to love him. Including sources [25][26][27]
- Dead link, thus not able to establish anything: [28]
- "Mere mentions" aren't enough to merit notability. A mere mention is basically someone mentioning one's name briefly, like here. And [29][30].
- Non reliable sources include those produced by the subject, like these: [31][32][33][34][35]
- The New York Times mentions aren't enough to establish notability, as it's just a collection of information about thousands of people. Just because one is listed in that database doesn't establish notability. Examples: [36][37][38][39] Same with this Yahoo! one[40][41]
- That FanPix website appears to be as equally unreliable as IMDB can be. Please review information about using sources like this here. [42]
- This source doesn't even mention the subject thus failing to establish any notability.[43] Same with this [44] and this. Oh and another [45] and this one also[46][47]
Hope this helps some in regards to your future articles. It looks like the subject isn't notable enough yet. SarahStierch (talk) 15:47, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Reasons are enumerated below along with some insightful guidelines and essays to consider:
- The primary reason for deletion that has been suggested is a lack of notability. The guidelines on notability are worth considering here. 32 sources are referenced here, and the majority are classified as reliable, secondary, and independent sources. Refer to the guidelines here, WP:GNG.
- "Significant Coverage" of the 32 references here, most address the subject significantly.
- "Reliable" Most sources are third party sources. A few references have been deleted or may need to be deleted, but not enough to warrant deletion of the entire article.
- The majority of the sources referenced are secondary sources.
- The majority of the sources cited are independent of the subject.
- This article seems to be in need of development. During this thread alone, it has been significantly improved. The essay [WP:CHANCE] is worth reading.
- Just because an article can be improved is not reason to demolish. WP:DEMOLISH
- When in doubt, don't delete. WP:DOUBT
- There has been no work done on the talk page here. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. WP:BATHWATER
- This might be an example of Overzealous deletion. WP: ZEAL Nothing has been mentioned here that ultimately warrants deletion.
- WP:JNN Simply stating that a subject is not notable, the sources are unreliable or is not sufficient to get it deleted on this basis.
- These sites are clearly third party and not bias. [48] [49] [50][51]Fight Club Article[52][53] [54]
These reasons should be enough to conclude that while the article may benefit from additional development, like all articles on Wikipedia. But a significant amount of reliable information is here that would be of interest to a potential reader who is interested in genre movies or any of the cult movies listed here. it should not be kept. Verireal (talk) 07:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm not sure if this is the place for it, but three users: Verireal, WiniBot356, FidelityTree have worked almost exclusively on this subject's page and have all written (and voted) in this discussion. The thing that puzzles me is that they all use the same hyper-correct, hyper-linking writing style which I've rarely seen - especially from new editors with virtually no editing history - and all have a huge interest in this subject. This tells me that I either may have missed a huge following of the subject or that there may be some WP:SOCK going on. Since I have never dealt with this can anyone help me determine if this warrants a Sockpuppet investigation? I've never done it and am not really familiar with the criteria.

- Keep Notable film. Immediately found nice reviews by DVD Verdict [55] and DVD Talk [56] and CraveOnline [57] Yes, the nominated article lacked use of the many available sources, but addressing THAT issue of one of the fixable things we do here to build an encyclopedia. Always best to look beyond a stub article and work toward improving it. IMHO. Nominator, now that you have brought attention to a needy article, why not withdraw? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 05:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Since you asked, I have seen the dvdverdict.com and dvdtalk.com reviews, but I'm not entirely convinced that these meet the criteria for reliable sources that the notability guideline calls for. I'm not particularly active with articles dealing with movies, so it could be that these are extremely well-respected sources "with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy," as required by WP:RS. If that's the case, point me in the direction of some indication of that kind of consensus and I'll be happy to withdraw. — Bdb484 (talk) 05:35, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- DVD Verdict and DVD Talk have long been accepted as suitably independent and reliable sources for use in film articles, just as is CraveOnline. Plus, it has spoken of in some detail on the Dutch site FOK! [58] and enough others to meet the requisites set by WP:NF. While nice to have, we do not expect that every film ever made be reviewed by The New York Times. Others may dig through earlier film discussions and offer links to the earlier consensus discussions establishing their suitability. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 06:32, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum: DVD Verdict accepted widely for films and actor articles: [59] DVD Verdict accepted widely for film and actor articles:[60] And keeping WP:USEBYOTHERS in mind, I found WP:RSN discussions of both sites from back in 2009: [61] [62] Doubtless there are more... as the two sites seemed subject to well-meant questioning every few years with the same result... but not lately, as consensus was reached. Your uncertainty may be reason enough for you to ask for clarification of their suitability over at Project Film. As a coordinator there, I would be interested to find out if consensus has changed... always a possibility. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:27, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think it would be fair to characterize those RSN discussions as reaching a consensus on the reliability of these sources. Because of that, I think it would be premature to withdraw the AfD. I agree, though, that there's no reason not to source it out as much as we can and see if the improvements can change its prospects, so I made a few changes as well.
- As it stands, it doesn't seem like the sources we're citing are giving this film any more coverage than they'd give to any other straight-to-DVD release that they use to pad their databases. DVD Verdict, for instance, says that it wants to review "everything that comes to market." WP:GNG's underlying logic in requiring a reliable source to establish notability seems to be that we trust such sources to tell us what is and isn't notable, but coverage from a source that thinks every film is notable doesn't actually tell us anything about notability.
- The exception would be the Sentinel/AALB review, but I don't know if a single review is enough to push it over the notability hurdle. — Bdb484 (talk) 04:16, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, we do have more than just a "single" review. In your dismissing the use of DVD Verdict and DVD Talk as suitable for reviewing independent DVD films, you seemed to have overlooked the in-depth analysis and commentary of CraveOnline. So I count four and more are coming under WP:SOFIXIT and WP:USEBYOTHERS. While certainly wonderful to have, we do not realistically expect every film ever made to have in-depth coverage in The New York Times or Variety, and we may look to those "lessor" sources accepted as specifically set to review independent projects. And while you feel they were inclusive, the WP:RSN discussions from 4 years ago did not result in a decision that they were unsuitable. That DVD Verdict (or any RS) may have a page singing their own praises is a non-argument. They are not a non-profit organization and their brags about themselves is not a factor that detracts from editorial oversight and reputation for fact-checking and accuracy of an opinion piece. As much as I enjoyed your including a link to a funny scene on Youtube infringed by someone from The Incredibles, we are not speaking about the scripted Syndrome character line "When everyone's super, no one is." We are specking about reasonable applicability of WP:NF, and if a released film has coverage, it might be determined as notable. Is this as notable as the Star Wars or Star Trek franchises? Certainly not. Is it "just" notable enough to remain and be further improved? I think yes. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 04:52, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think DVD Verdict is bragging when it says it wants to review everything; I think it's just saying that it wants to be comprehensive. There's nothing wrong with that, but I think one has to acknowledge that such aspirations reflect on its reliability as an indicator of notability. We may just disagree, so I'll move on to the other main point of my disagreement. You say that those aspirations don't detract from their reputation for editorial oversight and fact-checking. I agree with that, but it raises a more important question: What exactly is their reputation for editorial oversight and fact-checking?
- If you can point me in the direction of something to indicate that DVD Verdict (or DVD Talk, or Crave) has some sort of respecteable editorial pedigree, that would go a long way to convincing me that these are appropriate sources. Short of that, I'm happy to wait and hear what others think about this, though it's increasingly looking like the two of us are just talking to ourselves. — Bdb484 (talk) 05:38, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If we were speaking of an academic topic, this discussion would be easier... but we are taliking films. Film criticisms are opinion pieces contained in reliable sources which otherwise vet for factual accuracy... opinions acceptable as long as properly attributed. Such attention, analysis and commentary whether positive or negative, is exactly what MOS:FILM#Critical response requires. We would have loved it if someone like Roger Ebert had thought to review a minor independent film, but he preferred bigger fish. A reviewer's "opinion" is not something of which editors of news sources of the highest pedigree would ever take issue. For reviews, what matters is that the source be widely accepted as expert in their field and cited by others due to this expertise. DVD Verdict and DVD talk have that reputation and are widely cited by others. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 10:21, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Are they really widely cited by others? I haven't seen that. Again, that's the sort of thing that would really change my mind here, but I haven't seen anything to establish WP:USEBYOTHERS applies; the only people I see citing these sources are other WP editors, which I'm pretty sure doesn't count. — Bdb484 (talk) 17:15, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you google "Cassandra paradox", you'll see that the term means different things to different people. As described in this article, it bears a strong resemblance to a self-fulfilling prophecy, but in the article's single source, it seems to be another name for the Hawthorne effect. This source defines it as something akin to a self-defeating prophecy, and this one invokes it while discussing the problem of evil. And so forth. The bottom line is that this particular definition of the term isn't notable, and nor are any of the others. Given that there's such disagreement over what the Cassandra paradox actually is, I think outright deletion would be more appropriate than a merge or redirect to another article.

- Delete per Chiswick Chap. As about scholarly use, it is not consistent with the article, where most uses of "Cassandra paradox" are synonyms of Cassandra effect, not its contrapositive.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 13:22, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Cassandra (metaphor). There doesn't seem a single definition of what this means, and if none of the senses are notable then the article should be deleted.

- Keep...the fact that the main article does not discuss Chrome Box reflects the main article's shortcomings rather than the notability of the release; a better solution would be to briefly discuss the importance of the box within the main article. The box is an iconic release (unprecedented at the time, for a band of their genre) and a quick Googling will confirm that it's considered noteworthy (http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/review/138/ http://www.trouserpress.com/entry.php?a=chrome http://www.allmusic.com/album/chrome-box-mw0000053733 ). One music blogger I found plainly states what I think can be found elsewhere if I looked harder: "Their collection ‘The Chrome Box’ is one of the most essential collections of music ever made" (http://heathenharvest.org/2012/10/12/october-obituaries-category-viii-damon-edge/). It's more than just a perfunctory box set... I would say an apt comparison would be Chrome Box is to Chrome what Decade is to Neil Young. Greg Fasolino (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fails every point of WP:NMUSIC and fails WP:GNG.

- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. czar · · 03:25, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep – Not sure I can comment as the article creator, but here's my point of view. Record producers are different from regular musicians as they rarely release records on their own. Instead they usually produce works for other artists. The producer in question has produced an album (Finally Rich) which has charted on the Billboard 200, as well as on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums, and as such should meet point 2 of WP:NMUSIC for musicians. Coverage by various sources is not the only criteria for notability. 2Flows (talk) 04:44, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Do not make it out to seem like he produced the whole album, when he only produced two songs. Point two is for songs or albums HE has released, not producing two songs(neither being singles for that matter) on one album that charted on a couple Billboard charts. It is not the only, but it is the most important that "the subject has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself". We can not have an article for every record producer that makes a song that appears on a popular artists album. Notability is not inherited, and I could not find a single reliable source covering him.STATic message me! 05:04, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It doesn't matter if he produced 1 song or 10, he is still credited as producer. And point 2 ("Has had a single or album") doesn't mention he released it as primary artist. As I said, producers don't usually release records as main artists, but work on albums by other artists. In my opinion, a producer meets WP:NMUSIC if he has produced a single or an album, which has charted on a national chart, since it's his work as well. 2Flows (talk) 05:29, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This would be true if the whole album was produced by him, but since it was not he does not meet WP:NMUSIC. According to your logic, where are the articles for Casa Di, Leek-E-Leek, Lil Keis, Nard & B. and Young Ravisu? The others various producers on that album. Thats right they would all be deleted for not meeting NMUSIC just like this one will. He is no more notable than any of them. Being covered by independent reliable sources in the main merit for inclusion for any article in Wikipedia. You have ignored the fact that any single reliable source has yet to be provided, that covers this producer in detail. STATic message me! 05:49, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The non-existence of articles on closely related topics is irrelevant: this is just WP:OTHERSTUFF. Perhaps all of these people are notable but nobody's had the time or inclination to write articles on them, except for YGOnDaBeat. As you say later, it's the existence of reliable sources that determines notability, not the existence or non-existence of similar articles. Dricherby (talk) 10:23, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No, just like YGOnDaBeat all those people produced songs on the album, and have no reliable sources covering them. I know what OTHERSTUFF exists is.

The result was keep. Certainly no consensus to delete. Any rewriting, cleanup, or merging can be discussed and carried out outside of AfD. Michig (talk) 07:31, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable film studio, already speedied several times. Fails WP:GNG, WP:ORG, and specifically states that it operates "micro-budget films", which reduce the chances of notability. The article is quite promotional. Suggest SALTing the title as well, as it's been recreated quite a lot. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:28, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteI originally listed it as speedy A7, but another editor thought the connections with other artists sufficiently significant to need it to be brought here. I think they're mere unfulfilled plans, or dreams. DGG ( talk ) 15:00, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]- Comment. Gets substantial writeups from a Forbes columnist in March 2012 ("How Forest Whitaker And Two Film Buffs Are Elevating Social Movies"), a March 2012 USA Today column ("Oscar-winner Whitaker and his new social-media gig"), and in a January 2013 Variety article about their sponsorship of "the largest p[r]ize in Slamdance history" ("Slamdance, JuntoBox partner for screenplay competition"), as well as a briefer mention in a March 2012 Los Angeles Times article ("Celebrities Lend Talent to Tech"). Not yet decided about whether a separate article is justified, but I do think there's enough here to justify some mention at Forest Whitaker. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:34, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd be happy for the relevant information to be de-spamified and then added into the Forest Whitaker article, with a protected redirect (fully protected for a few months, with no prejudice to it being lifted early if the company become seperately notable). From the links you've listed, it doesn't appear that the company is independently notable of that one guy. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:00, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Arxiloxos has identified adequate reliable sources to support a small article on this organization, so there is no reason we should not have one. If the current text is inadequate, it should be replaced with something that is, rather than the entire article deleted. AFD is not cleanup. JulesH (talk) 19:19, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Marc Graser's bylined news story in Variety was misidentified as a "press release." I've corrected that. Graser is a senior writer, and this is indeed a WP:RS. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:44, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I checked again today and the company was the subject of a Screen International news story on May 2. This page may have been created a tad prematurely but the company is the subject of multiple reliable sources and the Screen also mentioned there'll be another project announced by Whittaker at the Los Angeles Film Festival next month, which is sure to get more coverage. The article name needs to be fixed, though. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:32, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
- Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, J04n(talk page) 00:31, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment In view of what was found, I have no objection to keeping it if Shawn or Jules want to take responsibility for the rewrite DGG ( talk ) 23:27, 8 May 2013 (UTC) t[reply]
- I have not and am not volunteering to do that. And AfD is not cleanup. I think it's clear based on this AfD that there are sufficient WP:RS out there to keep, regardless of the state of the article, but you should continue to !vote as you see fit, of course.
