The result was delete. Consensus is clear. I don;t see the pt of moving to Drafts -- its not as if a better article would be acceptable, because his career does not have notability in the first place. DGG ( talk ) 23:34, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does not meet notability per WP:MILPEOPLE. Article is WP:NOTMEMORIAL. – S. Rich (talk) 23:12, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Move to draft. This is the perfect example of an article that doesn't belong in main space but with content that should be kept somewhere. It fails notability, but deleting it would fail WP:PRESERVE as some references and facts could reasonably belong to an article related to Operation Enduring Freedom.

Hi Can someone please explain which sections need to be taken out? Alask8er (talk) 12:17, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is not so much of what gets taken out, but what we do not have to put in. The guidance in MILPEOPLE (posted above) gives us notability standards which we should follow. Forester did not receive DSMs or DSCs or AFCs, or the MOH. Nor did he have a significant role in major battles. His memorial is properly set out at Mark A Forester at Find a Grave. – S. Rich (talk) 20:53, 24 January 2014 (UTC) Also, his valor is confirmed and published at Military Times Hall of Valor. 20:59, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails to meet notability guidelines, his death precludes the likelihood of him later gaining notability. While the death of youth in war is tragic and I am sure his contribution was heroic, Wikipedia is not a memorial. It looks like others have done a fine job across the internet with memorials, and that is where they belong. EricSerge (talk) 22:24, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete' - I fail to see the utility of moving this article into draft space. As EricSerge has pointed out, this person does not meet notability guidelines, nor is there any likelihood of that happening in the near future. -- Whpq (talk) 13:14, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The utility is pointed out at WP:PRESERVE. Even if the subject is not notable, verifiable facts and references may still be used at other articles. Diego (talk) 08:51, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The only reference is www.findagrave.com. The only fact that confirms is where he is buried. This is not really what WP:PRESERVE is talking about. EricSerge (talk) 20:32, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You forget [1] added above. And yes, this is exactly what PRESERVE is about - if you hide verifiable information that is not problematic, it's impossible to accumulate knowledge through a slow and steady process. Diego (talk) 20:49, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to draft or User space. This is an article by a new and inexperienced editor, who should be given a chance to improve the article per, our policy not to bite the newcomers. Alask8er, you can get help on creating articles at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. - tucoxn\talk 00:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Nothing whatsoever to make him notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:43, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's clear the writer was familiar with the subject and has included their "most notable" achievements but I do not feel that there is enough there to meet our guidelines. The draft space is still subject to WP:BLP and I do not see it being likely that this person does when conducting WP:BEFORE. In all best practices of the deletion policy this article should be deleted. I am sympathetic to the WP:BITE perspective of this nomination but I believe the article and it's potential have been fairly evaluated. I actually believe this editor has done a very good job at their first article but no amount of work would appear to make it eventually meet our guidelines. Mkdwtalk 23:44, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You misunderstand BLP. It's for living people. Diego (talk) 08:51, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

True Jesus Church in Singapore[edit]

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

These articles are either unreferenced or referenced in large or in whole to first party publications. There is, simply put, not enough reliable, third party coverage of the movement to justify these splinter articles. Additionally, the main article, True Jesus Church, is of questionable notability (see separate AfD and Meta discussion attached to that AfD). Finally, there are both major NPOV concerns, and possible copyvio concerns (see deletion history of True Jesus Church in Sabah).Sven Manguard Wha? 22:27, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete all. Excessive split-off to subarticles of an already very questionable main article. I find it rather promotional rather than informative. There's also a lack of independent secondary sources as references.--Cold Season (talk) 00:57, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and summarise -- This is a Chinese Christian denomination. I do not share some of its theology, but that is by the way. It seems to have conducted missionary work in south and east Asia before between the wars and in refcnet times. I am not sure that there is merit in having the main article and China article separate. Similarly, the missionary activities outside China need gathering into one or a few articles. Individual reports of how people in particular countries came into contact with the movement are probably NN; similarly a single church in a country. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:48, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • For all articles, merge whatever salvageable information to True Jesus Church. Perhaps there are more sources available in Chinese, but there's simply not enough coverage for the church's activities outside of their country (indeed, even the main church's notability is questionable, although this could be more attributed to a lack of English sources). Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 15:48, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and summarise; there are serious WP:N issues, but some content may be salvageable. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 15:45, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Nothing to merge per deletion of the main article after the AfD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/True Jesus Church. --Cold Season (talk) 00:02, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete All. Highly dubious notability given that the main True Jesus Church article no longer exists. --DAJF (talk) 02:16, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all. A merge would have been appropriate if the parent entity were notable, but the recent deletion of True Jesus Church at AFD indicates that it's probably not. Lankiveil (speak to me) 02:25, 2 February 2014 (UTC).[reply]

True Jesus Church[edit]

True Jesus Church (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)

Per the Meta thread Massive, 100+ project cross-wiki spam effort by Jose77, and per local notability policy. This doesn't have reliable, third party sources; it's citations are to bible passages and internal publications. A search finds that there are some mentions of this organization in the broader context of religious splinter groups from China (and one mention on a website that tracks cults), but little that is substantively focused on this organization.

Even if sources were to be found, this article still needs to be deleted and re-created from scratch because 1) the person who authored it appears to have a serious conflict of interest (more on that in the Meta thread), 2) it is constructed entirely upon unsound sourcing practices (afformenetioned bible passages and tjc publications), and 3) it is written, some sections in particular, more as a recruiting document than an encyclopedia article. It is not, and should not be, savable in this form.

Please note that I will also be filing AfDs for the "True Jesus Church in ____" articles in a separate AfD. Sven Manguard Wha? 22:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- This appears to be a Chinese denomination. I am far from convinced by the desirability of keeping some of the national satellite articles as free-standing ones. It must be born in mind that the activities of unregistered churches in China has to be partly clandestine, so that the published resources will be scanty. Nobody really knows how manhy Christians there are in China, but estimates run into 10s of millions, possibly even higher. If this church has only a fraction of that number, it will be very significant. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Peterkingiron: As someone that has studied that issue academically, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the clandestine nature of Chinese Christian churches is not a reason for low to non-existent coverage in third-party sources. The notable underground churches in China are, in fact, extensively covered by third party sources, especially those that the Chinese government views as significant enough to go after. (My personal opinion is that the CCP has a very, very poor understanding of the Streisand effect, and runs afoul of it often.) Even more in this case, where the organization is aggressively marketing itself, I would expect coverage if this were indeed a notable organization.

Keep; Specially with additional sources provided by creator of the article. I do understand the concerns of the colleague who asked for deletion. If this is a notable person, which for sure he is, surely there must be non-Swedish media sources as well, including some in English.

Sure the purpose of this being written may be promotional but what counts for the purpose of Wikipedia is the way it is actually written. However I do think it should be deleted for lack of notability proven by lack of independent references. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:13, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a phrase book either. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:28, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I created this article not merely because this article is missing. I'm an advanced level student studying Japanese. Not only students,teachers too find it hard to give us the exact word to say at the exact time in Japanese. So for several days I referred to many teaching guides telling what to say, listened to audio's and found what a phrase really means. User:Ivanvector I understand what you say. That this article takes the shape of a teaching guide. But this is on the way and i have a lot to improve to support its body. User:Nishadhi who is a Sri Lankan had read my article at its birth (in my sandbox) She approved that this is an impressive topic. For example English_grammar#Personal_pronouns article shows examples to explain their personal pronouns. This article Japanese phrases will lead to phrases which are widely used. The reasons and occasions to use with samples will be added. But it will look a bit like a teaching guide due to its advising. What i want is to show what is correct and not to use google translator which sometimes students use and get accused by the teacher for the wrong translations. For simple phrases like this! If not like a teacher how can i prove these phrases and how and where to use? If this article still deserves to be deleted please do so if it goes beyond wiki policies. But i prefer the teachers comments who find this useful although it look like a guide. User:RHaworth I'm extremely sorry to embed you to this situation. I realize what your approval means. But the notification was a green tick saying that this article which was in the sandbox "was reviewed by RHaworth" :) The article is still developing too. I'm just 18 going on 19. I really need advises. I do my best to make wiki a complete fountain of knowledge in the areas I'm educated. So please i think this article needs development not deletion.

  • Reply: Hardly; only one current North American league -- the NHL -- satisfies Criterion #1 of NHOCKEY as a top-rated professional league. The others are all European leagues: Russia's KHL, the Czech Extraliga, the Swedish Hockey League and the Finnish SM-liiga. The International Ice Hockey Federation ranks Estonia as the 28th most prominent nation in hockey, and has never ranked it higher than 23rd. The Estonian national team has never qualified for the Olympics nor for the championship division of the Worlds. That being said, NHOCKEY is the pertinent guideline. If you disagree with it, by all means state your case at the NHOCKEY/LA talk page and see if you can swing consensus to your POV. AfD isn't the proper venue to debate notability criteria. Ravenswing 08:47, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Only "one current North American league"? How did you miss the other 7 North American leagues? This nomination appears somewhat WP:POINTY, given the discussion here[17]. This player fulfils criteria 6 of WP:NHOCKEY: "Played on a senior national team (such as at the Olympic Games or World Championship)", WP:NHOCKEY says nothing about whether that national team made it through to the final rounds of the Olympic Games or the World Championship or not, nor anything about ranking of top national teams let alone about a cut-off at 22nd ranking out of 72 International Ice Hockey Federation members. Wikipedia:Systemic bias comes in due to the fact that it nominates prominent members of North American junior and college leagues as eligible at the expense of, say the Russian junior and college leagues. --Nug (talk) 09:15, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well the fact that the other 7 leagues haven't existed for over 80 years (I assume you missed the fact he said current even though you even quoted it) and most were amateur leagues that led into the 1 current league from North America that meets criteria #1. Secondly even if he did meet NHOCKEY he still needs to meet GNG, which he doesn't. -DJSasso (talk) 12:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the other 7 North American leagues would be the American Hockey League, East Coast Hockey League, Central Hockey League, Southern Professional Hockey League, Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey, Federal Hockey League and the Liga Mexicana Élite - if we were biased towards North America I'm sure they would all qualify for #1 --Львівське (говорити) 22:06, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Honestly Nug, your vote is basically "Keep because he is Estonian". Not good enough. Show that he meets WP:GNG with reliable sources and you'll be getting somewhere. Resolute 14:33, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • No kidding. Claiming that a conversation "disrupts Wikipedia" in which the question was raised, "Truth be told, looking at that article, there's another factor: do you think Sorokin passes notability standards? I'm not seeing it, myself," just goes to highlight Nug's bad faith on this matter. Ravenswing 17:25, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Adding - even local notability seems rather low, as there are only articles that mention him passingly, as a member of a team among others. For example, [18], [19]. --Sander Säde 15:30, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Fails NHOCKEY and GNG. Top Estonian League doesn't get enough coverage for the presumption that all competitors are notable.

A lengthy, unreferenced article with a lot of mislabeled and unlabeled images irrelevant to the article's supposed subject. I can't find any references to substantiate this article's content; it appears to be an elaborate hoax. See related discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject China#Yang Tiao. Muchness (talk) 13:28, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I brought this up at WT:CHINA because there seemed to be something not quite right with it. I don't want to regurgitate what I said there, but as Muchness states, it appears to be a hoax, and unless some reliable sources can be found, I feel it should be deleted as such. --Kateshortforbob talk 14:25, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I declined a WP:CSD#G3 request for deletion as I didn't think it was a blatant enough hoax. I tried to find sources but the best I could find was being included in List of people of the Three Kingdoms and an extremely brief mention of the name here. I suspect that the person was real, but that the content in this article is made up. The photos being of different people is certainly suspect. SmartSE (talk) 14:38, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There are a few telltale signs, in addition to the concerns already raised: 1) All the Chinese characters are obviously (to a Chinese speaker) from Google Translate. 2) Rafe de Crespigny's A Biographical Dictionary of the Later Han to the Three Kingdoms (23-220 AD), which meticulously lists all persons mentioned in historical records of during those years has only says this about "Yang Tiao": "As Commandant of Chengyang county in Jiyin in 172, Yang Tiao was involved in the restoration of the Spiritual Terrace associated with the temple of the sage Emperor Yao." This is vastly different from the article here, and most importantly it's talking about 楊調, not 楊體凹 (What kind of stupid name is that anyways? See point one) 3) The "Yang Tiao" in List of people of the Three Kingdoms and the PDF in the above reply are referring to a 楊條, whose only record in history was described in that PDF (which erroneously says the year in which he thrived, the second year of the Taihe era, was 367 - it's actually 228). Nothing in the historical records justifies what was written on the article, and it appears that it is only an unfortunate coincidence that this ficticious Yang Tiao shares the same romanization of two other real, but still non-notable, Yang Tiaos. _dk (talk) 15:23, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Many of Google's services rely on Wikipedia. If you type in "Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi" in Google Search, you will get the Wikipedia article on the side, plus a few of the top images from Google Image Search, next to the search results. Google Translate's language database also relies on Wikipedia articles. Theoretically, if I were to modify Wikipedia so that "Barack Obama" corresponded to "坏人" (bad person) in Google's database, that too would be the result that comes up in Google Translate. --benlisquareTCE 08:53, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This page span out of List of actors who have played the Doctor where it was thought to be too niche. However, this article has no external sourcing, nor are there likely to be any sources that discuss these appearances in depth (except possibly David Bradley's, and that has its own article).

  • Keep For the moment at least. I'ld like to point out the title is an attempt to find room for more than one kind of list. The original table "Actors who played characters thought to be the Doctor" had a long history in the actors article it originally came from, but it got pushed out when tables that included Doctor Who leads, stand-ins, spoofs, even such timey-wimey phenomena as the Dreamlord, who was a creature of the Doctor's subconscious, started to fill the article. The existence of false Doctors has been a recurring feature throughout the show's long history. The reason the new article is not just called "Fake Doctors," or some such, is that at around the same time a debate started raging over whether the performers in the telemovie "An Adventure In Space And Time" would be listed in the actors article. I had hoped to make it possible, if not through a single article, then at least through a few links, to find out about every performance that portrays, in some way at least, a version of the Doctor. If you feel this article is not fixable through renaming, reorganizing, etc; then, I would propose that the older, more established table, be recast as something like "Psuedo-Doctors." As to 'notability' I would point out that 'psuedo-doctors' are comparable to these existing Doctor Who lists: List of Doctor Who Henchmen, List of Doctor Who Historical Characters, List of Doctor Who Robots.

It was one of four indigenous Sardinian dogs present at a raduno (a sort of meeting of dog owners, not a show or a trial) at Scano Montiferro. It has a listing on agraria.org, a site that is often quite reliable. However that listing is written by the same person who organised the raduno, so can hardly be regarded as independent confirmation. The newspaper clippings in the YouTube video posted by Hafspajen indeed confirm that the Italian army used Sardinian dogs; however the dogs are described as being the heavy breed of Fonni (i.e., the Fonnese) or light dogs from Ogliastra. Neither of those is the Dogo Sardo, nor did I see the word "dogo" anywhere in those clippings. Until and unless the Regione Sardegna takes an interest in establishing whether or not this is a breed really distinct from the Fonnese, I find it hard to justify an independent article. It is disappearingly unlikely that it will get ENCI recognition unless the region takes the first step. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:28, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the flurry of activity that has taken place since this AfD was posted, the article still only shows that he has been employed by magazines, and such employment obviously involves photographing celebrities, nothing noteworthy about that in itself. The article does not show why he has been influential within his field. He has not been recognised by other reliable sources. -Lopifalko (talk)
  • Comment. He doesn't have to be shown to be influential within his field. Evidence for influence is sufficient to show notability but not necessary for it. You're right, though: much of the article is little more than name-dropping. Still, one has to concede that these celeb names have many people awestruck. (Not me.) ¶ I do have a soft spot for this article thanks to the one sentence "Nun Head" was controversial because it showed models potrayed [sic] as nuns being nude and having lesbian sexual affairs: surely it takes photographic skills (or anyway art direction skills) to show that nude women are nuns and that their frolics are affairs, not just one-night-stands. (Here ["NSFW"] are some of these nunly pics.) ¶ Even when (seemingly) provided, sourcing seems dodgy: wondering how one web page whose title doesn't mention Faena would say that he'd photographed campaigns for seven brands, I took a look, and sure enough it only says he photographed one of these. -- Hoary (talk) 01:48, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Besides the typical financial info sources, among the sources cited are some academic books in which independent researchers discuss Jennic's proprietary technology. A quick search in EE Times [32] found plenty of additional articles; some are mildly modified press releases e.g. [33], but others like [34] clearly are not. The situation is similar with EDN (magazine) [35], e.g. this is clearly not just a regurgitated press release. So, I'd say it's pretty notable considering all sources.

I came across this initially via a speedy WP:A7, which I declined because films don't really qualify for any of the speedies unless it's promotional, which it wasn't. It was pretty much WP:TOOSOON for an entry, which is why I'd moved the article to User:Henry Iporac/Dementia (2014 film) to avoid having to go through the AfD process. Even after a search, all I was able to find were a few brief mentions about who would be starring in the film and that they shot a test reel. The problem here is that filming hasn't started officially and until we have more coverage this is just too soon for this to pass WP:NFF.

Hmm, I wonder what user @Randykitty: will say about that. If nothing is verified doesn't mean that you should nominate it for deletion. Wikipedia have a ton of articles that use external links and not reliable sources and no one cares about those. While, articles that I write, are automatically, without question get deletion nomination!--Mishae (talk) 04:22, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please review WP:OSE. Just because other articles have a problem does not mean this article satisfies WP:GNG. If your articles are getting nominated for deletion, perhaps it would be good to more closely review WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 04:29, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So, in your opinion, she made up an award? That's ridiculous!--Mishae (talk) 04:48, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a legitimate argument for an AfD discussion. See WP:AADD. Now, another user has added a source to the Cleveland Piano award. Unfortunately, it refers to the wrong person (Yuko Nakamichi, not Lisa Nakamichi). But looking at the Cleveland site, it seems that the Mozart Prize is one of the minor prizes given every year [39]. While there is no record on the site of Lisa Nakamichi winning that prize, even if there was a record, it clearly does not satisfy criterion 9 of WP:MUSIC: "Has won or placed in a major music competition." Notability has not yet been proven. Michitaro (talk) 05:03, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I see the user has noticed the mistake and removed the source. Michitaro (talk) 05:07, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Evidence of notability is just not there. Will reconsider if WP:RS sources demonstrating significant award(s) is presented. -Ad Orientem (talk) 05:55, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. Northamerica1000(talk) 16:14, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Again: WP:OSE. Do also note that WP:NRVE states: "Notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate citation. Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article's subject can be notable if such sources exist, even if they have not been named yet." So just because an article only has one external link does not mean it definitely should be deleted. It is only after checking to see if somewhere there are not sufficient independent reliable sources to prove notability should it be nominated. So if you have made such a concerted search regarding those two figures and can find no good sources, feel free to nominate them for deletion. The problem here is that multiple editors have failed to find sufficient reliable sources for Lisa Nakamichi, and that is why it is being considered for deletion. Finding other problem articles will not help this article: you must find real sources to improve it. Michitaro (talk) 05:23, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
O.K. I moved to an external link so that folks here wont think that I promote anything. However, WP:NRVE also states:

If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate.

Which makes me wonder, if its inappropriate to delete (or PROD) an article solely on the lack of notability (and in this case verifiability).--Mishae (talk) 17:22, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also proposed deletions of the above mentioned articles. I will see to it, what will happen.--Mishae (talk) 17:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The sentence you quote could be written better, but the statement merely underlines that one cannot argue that an article is not notable and should be deleted when there is the possibility of significant coverage. In other words, it is reiterating that significant coverage is the main standard for judging notability. Otherwise, lack of notability is one of the main reasons articles are deleted (see WP:DEL-REASON). Michitaro (talk) 20:44, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So what you are saying that there might not be any future coverage on Lisa Nakamichi, yet, somehow there will be coverage on Markku Laakso and Leonid Korchmar???? Care to explain how? Plus, by removing one of the non-notables doesn't mean that your site will be free from scum articles.--Mishae (talk) 21:21, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I nowhere made a judgement on Laakso and Korchmar. I only reiterated general Wikipedia policy. From your repeated questions, it is clear you have not sufficiently familiarized yourself with Wikipedia notability guidelines. For instance, note WP:ATA#CRYSTAL: Notability cannot be judged based on what might happen, because it is always possible it might not happen. Notability is judged based on what exists now. I recommend that you closely read Wikipedia notability guidelines (WP:GNG, WP:BIO, etc.) before making another comment. Michitaro (talk) 21:58, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You know, tell you what: I admit that I am not familiarized with GNG, because in this case we are talking about music. And to be frank, I just misunderstood your point and I apologize for any misunderstanding. There is no need to tell me over and over to read GNG and point me to other unrelated to this person rules. If you want this article to be deleted, feel free. Making Wikipedia having less articles means that there will be less participants. I'm still concerned though about your believe that she might made up awards comment. Like, if so, we could also assume that Hajime Sugiyama didn't served in World War II for instance because it cites books with no reference to pages.--Mishae (talk) 03:40, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am glad you are getting to understand some of the rules about notability. For music, WP:NMUSIC gives the guidelines. There is much discussion on Wikipedia about how editing or deleting articles may discourage new editors who don't know the rules. But the rules have to maintained or the quality of the encyclopedia will suffer. And since you are a veteran editor with far more edits than me, I would assume learning a bit more about how Wikipedia works would be less frustrating than productive. Finally, since I do new page patrolling, I should emphasize that I've seen a lot: hoax pages, blatant self-promotion, faked evidence, etc. Even famous people have been found to embellish their resumes. It happens. So all claims have to be verified. But with over 4,000,000 pages on Wikipedia, we can't check everything immediately. If you can help with that process, that would be appreciated. Michitaro (talk) 05:07, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I have seen self promotional articles myself too. Mine aren't promotional though. Articles that I write even though contain an external link, don't say that he is such and such, it said he is such and such because. Now, can we shake on it, since I am a new page patroller also, although not yet experienced in that field. Quality of encyclopedia wont suffer just because someone is not notable. Quality of encyclopedia suffers when someone not references articles at all, such as here: Sasha Mäkilä. What's this? Personally I don't care if the article will be deleted, what makes me sad is that sometimes I waste a whole day, and only get greeted with deletion template. :(--Mishae (talk) 06:14, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I got a great idea! Lets collaborate together on this: You stationed in Japan, right? Can you be so kind to go to your nearby library and see if they have books related to this particular pianist? Like since she is Japanese-American you should have sources offline about her. By the way, in your opinion am I veteran editor one, two, or higher rank?--Mishae (talk) 06:25, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disgree. Articles in Telegraph always require editorial review as it is a reputable news publication. Book listings are not Amazon books, they are via reputable publishing companies. Amazon listings reflect that. Neither of the so-called publicity notices are that. They are independent news coverage of a business announcement. Quotes of Sutherland in news articles are designed to give a referenced example of his work as a spokesperson. He was the spokesperson for controversial organizations for more than 10 years, certainly not trivial. Videos are to give examples of his regular appearance in regional media representing Scottish and British interests in the US. Agree that awards listings should be removed, as it is on a page created by the subject. Published news articles by the subject are included to show that a major news outlet has verified his status and publishes his work.

Comment - What you have outlined above amounts to trivial coverage. Just because something requires and gets editorial review does not mean the coverage is of substance. A listing in Amazon is just that and is not about the subject - there are many authors that are listed in Amazon that are no considered as notable enough to be included in Wikipedia. Your comment, "He was the spokesperson for controversial organizations for more than 10 years, certainly not trivial" does not demonstrate his notability per Wikipedia guidelines - if you believe so, cite the specific guideline. Regular appearance is not a demonstration of notability - notability is not a measure of popularity, but rather of support for Wikipedia guidelines. Find an in-depth article about the subject and I will be convinced otherwise. Nothing there is in-depth. reddogsix (talk) 16:27, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Almost none of the sources are independent. They are in some way connected to Sutherland, and thus don't show independent notability. Sutherland writes for the Telegraph, simply being a writer is not notable. Sutherland publishes books, simply publishing books is not notable. Notability is when someone receives attention from independent sources. For example, a New York Times book review, or an interview in the LA Times or BBC, etc.. coverage without a connection to the subject. See WP:NOTE for more information on how notability works at Wikipedia. -- GreenC 17:03, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There is no explanation why this street is important. No reliable sources. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:39, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The page actually does articulate the most evident argument for notability, such as it is: this street (more particularly the stretch next to DGI-byen, near the Copenhagen Central Station) serves as Copenhagen's intercity bus stop, since there is no built intercity bus terminal. This is mentioned in numerous travel guides e.g. [40][41] and on the official Danish travel website [42]. If there actually were some kind of bus terminal, however humble, I suspect it would be easy to argue for an article. But in the absence of a building, I'm not quite sure. Wikitravel has a concise mention as well [43]], and perhaps that's where this belongs. I'll be interested to hear from Danish-reading editors as to whether there are better sources. --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:02, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nevertheless, in hopes of defusing this particular disagreement I added a reference to VisitDenmark, the official Danish travel portal. The same info is contained in many travel guides. I can think of other reasons not to keep this as a separate page (for example, it might be sensible to merge this content into Transport in Copenhagen), but verifiability is not a problem. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:08, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Since I haven't yet formally !voted here, I'll note for the record that I'm now disposed to let this article stay, since the street does have a small but real significance to Copenhagen and its visitors, and we now have sources and a bit of additional content. Also, I note for the record that I incorporated a bit of content from this page at Transport in Copenhagen, as noted in my edit summary there [44]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 19:52, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CONTENTFORK of two articles. An unnecessary article regardless as two games hardly constitute a 'series'. The disambiguation page Need for Speed: Most Wanted is more than sufficient. Samwalton9 (talk) 01:23, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as an unnecessary WP:CFORK that doesn't warrant a split from the main articles or the series overview. Those are two different games in that sense and merging them because the name is the same is pretty much WP:SYNTH. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 22:12, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete Just another accountant. I don't see the "notable in respect of its pioneering usage of online accountancy" aspect as significant or credibly sourced.
