List of songs in Glee

Simply a list of lists which can already be linked from every Glee-related article in the {{Glee}} navbox. While this only links to other more complete lists, Glee discography provides a comprehensive list of songs for each season (in which then a redirect for this to that will suffice). From there, one can easily navigate to individual seasons again from the navbox. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:45, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: In fact, Glee discography is a far from complete list: it only has the songs that have been released as singles or have charted from EPs and albums, and with the increasing number of EPs and albums being released for episodes—the majority of season 5 episodes have been part of EPs or albums—it is less comprehensive all the time. (It's why I reverted Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars ill-advised attempt to redirect this page to the discography, which seems to have provoked this AfD—the list pages actually include every single song in each episode and the lists and discography have differing sets of information.) The List of songs in Glee page averages over 2000 hits a day at present. It is indeed a list of lists, but it's clearly a useful one. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:02, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note that this isn't an AfD to delete the individual, complete lists of the songs by season for which this basically serves as a disambiguation page. The point is that a reader redirected to the Glee discography page can parse more information from that, be provided with something more cumulative than a list of lists, and still just be a click away from any of the specific season lists of songs by utilizing the more than adequate and much more beneficial navbox. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 00:32, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Redirecting to the discography page is misleading and unhelpful, and shouldn't be done. It isn't a true list of songs for the show, but an increasingly incomplete one. In short, it's simply a bad idea. (Yes, I do understand what you want to do and that the individual season lists remain, but with the navboxes closed at the bottom and the "See also" section almost as far down, sending them to the discography page is making the information people are looking for significantly harder to find.)

  • Keep, seems to be a proper WP:SETINDEX (not a disambiguation page, contra the nom's comment above) for the individual lists of songs by season, and people who type or search for this title will be most likely looking for one of those lists rather than the discography. So this clearly aids reader navigation in its current form. postdlf (talk) 16:01, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, A list of every song used in the show is much more relevant than a list of songs released for sale. If this page is getting over 200 hits a day, people obviously are seeking this information. It is a no-brainer to keep this page. StellaBella242

Contested PROD. List of players, with no prose. Fails WP:NOTSTATS and bordering on WP:LISTCRUFT. Similar to a previous AfD - 2014 Granatkin Memorial squads JMHamo (talk) 23:10, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You mean WP:NOTSTATS - It's in relation to lists, the fact that they are male or female, junior or senior has absolutely no relevance. JMHamo (talk) 22:16, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Number 3, the list of players without any sourced prose is just a statistic of the competition. Additionally, the other pages you mention are for official FIFA competitions, not for invitational friendly competitions. You will see from the link above, this and from the this that there is a degree of consensus forming that minor international tournaments do not need squad listings that are inherently taken entirely from primary sources. Fenix down (talk) 08:02, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Why? Where are the sources showing that the squads attracted any particular attention above and beyond that generated by the competition itself, bearing in mind that this is an invitational tournament, not an official FIFA event. Fenix down (talk) 18:31, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I see no reason to delete this article. It preserves in one place the names of all the players in a prominent international tournament of several of the best national women's soccer teams in the world. Given the sparse and lousy webpages for many women's soccer tournaments and teams, future historians of the beautiful game will thank us for preserving this information for ready reference. Smallchief (talk 21:24, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia preserves notable information, hopefully forever. Women soccer players in an international tournament are at least as notable as a vast number of people and groups who are covered on wikipedia. To survive, Wikipedia must, first and foremost, be useful -- and this article is useful to anyone interested in women's soccer. Me, for example. Smallchief (talk 22:46, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I must stress that this has nothing to do with women's football and shouldn't be thought of that way... Male or female isn't what this AfD is about so your comments are misguided. JMHamo (talk) 23:29, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article is notable because it collects in one place a list of notable people -- women soccer players who represented their countries in a significant international tournament in 2013. A lot of articles in Wikipedia are a lot less notable than that. I notice, for example, that an article titled List of American beach volleyball players seems to be in good standing. I'm glad to see that article, as I am to see this one. Smallchief (talk 01:41, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Smallchief:, not sure you fully understands what this list article is trying to achieve. This is not a list of notable football players like the volleyball listing you noted above, this is a list of players who made up the squads who took part in one iteration of an invitation-only friendly football tournament, not the World Cup, not a continental FIFA tournament. I also note the majority of your comments revolve around WP:ILIKEIT and WP:INTERESTING, both of which are specifically noted as arguments to be avoided in AfD discussions. It would be helpful if you could review your comments in light of this and revise them pointing to specific guidelines that would support a keep !vote. Fenix down (talk) 08:54, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll repeat my arguments. (1) The article does no harm to anybody or anything; (2) The list of participants in a well-established, international soccer tournament involving some of the best women soccer players in the world is more notable that a vast number of existing Wikipedia articles; (3) The article is a useful reference, now and into the far future, for soccer fans and historians; (4) Most articles about soccer tournaments list only the goal scorers. This article lists also the midfielders, defenders, and goalies who are equally important players on a soccer team.
I wonder whether this article would be proposed for deletion if the tournament had taken place in the United States and involved the U.S. national team? Is this proposal to delete an example of "systemic bias" Smallchief (talk 10:59, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But your arguments are all ones specifically documented as arguments to be avoided. Agrument 1 is a prime example of WP:NOHARM, Argument 2 is a prime example of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, Argument 3 (aside from being inherently subjective) is a prime example of WP:VALINFO and Argument 4 isn't an argument at all, it does not refer to any form of notability guidelines. Squad listings can be notable, but this is a listing for an invitation-only friendly competition, not an official FIFA tournament. Your final comment regarding systematic bias is unfounded (and incorrect as I know several contributors here are not american) and also does not WP:AGF, you may wish to consider striking it. Fenix down (talk) 13:59, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you are striving for an exhaustive review of wikipedia guidelines, I suggest you also take into account Wikipedia: If it ain't broke, don't fix it "If there is no evidence of a real problem, and fixing the "problem" would not effectively improve Wikipedia, then don't waste time and energy (yours or anybody else's) trying to fix it." Smallchief (talk 14:21, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But it is broken, per WP:NOTSTATS as clearly outlined in the AfD rationale. As you have been repweatedly asked, please point to notability guidelines fulfilled by the article and reliable sources supporting it, please do not repeate "I like it / it's useful" arguements without such reference. Fenix down (talk) 14:33, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's not my responsibility to persuade you that this article is notable. I'm happy with the status quo. You are the one who wants to upset the apple cart by deleting an article created more than one year ago, reviewed, accepted by the task force on women's soccer, viewed more than 2,000 times, and which has not accumulated a single complaint up until now. The onus is on you to argue persuasively that this subject is unworthy of a wikipedia article. Smallchief (talk 15:09, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete because of lack of thorough coverage from sources. Reference 1 expresses one guy's approval, and isn't really the subject. Reference 2 is an obituary recognizing things important to the person, but not necessarily notable. Reference 3 announces regular notices like EP releases. Reference 4 is a passing mention. Reference 6 also focuses primarily on regular notices, like who is hosting sessions and who has joined, however, I couldn't find any mention on reference 5. --Mysterytrey 01:05, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete per WP:GNG, WP:NPOL, and WP:ANYBIO. Regardless of parents, he isn't a notable person by himself, and the extension given from his lineage doesn't make up for having little coverage, few actions or contributions, and a seemingly weak role or influence in community.

  • Keep - peers are automatically notable by virtue of being peers. Eustachiusz (talk) 14:43, 17 March 2014 (UTC) sorry - wrong disussion.

Non-notable hereditary peer (post House of Lords Act 1999) Flaming Ferrari (talk) 15:25, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. A brief search turns up an article tentatively identifying him as the owner of Picasso's $50m painting Child with a Dove. That and any basic reference establishing him as holding a barony (I don't really understand what that means) makes him notable. Wnt (talk) 00:32, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Seems like the family sold the painting to a Qatari collector [2]
  • Keep. There is usefulness in having a compete set of entries on hereditary peers, even if some peers are less prominent or noteworthy than others, even when the article must of necessity remain something of a stub. Considering these articles in isolation, i.e. not noting that they are part of a wider series, is mistaken. It strikes me as important to let the relevant wikiproject(s) know about these sorts of deletion proposals.--Jimbo Wales (talk) 03:29, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy Keep A quick Google search will demonstrate that the term "proxy war" is used by a substantial number of news, historical and government sources to describe conflicts where third parties fight on the behalf of more powerful parties. Its a commonly used term and is by no means a neolgism. That being said, this article is in need of clean-up and is almost completely uncited. However, these issues can be fixed through editing.

This is not a notable topic in itself. Most of the article is not really about Ponting at all (e.g. "Ponting said the debutant Cameron White exceeded expectations") and important information about the tour can be merged into Australian cricket team in India in 2008–09 (where the Third Test gets only a single sentence).

Merging to Ricky Ponting would make that article far to big, merging to Australian cricket team in India in 2008–09 would put undue weight on Ponting's role.

Non-notable dojo. Founder is barely notable on his own. Instructor list is also a bunch of non-notables. GSP's presence is barely tertiary information. This should not even be a redirect as it's wholly non-notable. This was deleted at least once, and should have stayed that way DP 19:53, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello DangerousPanda,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to answer the concerns and issues raised about the page "Gracie Barra Montreal". I really appreciate this dialogue.

__________________________


Answers to issues raised

__________________________


Issue 1: "Non-notable dojo."

Reply 1: The term "Martial art school" is more appropriate for this facility. By looking very closely at the sentences at the end of the lead section, you will noticed a number of sports achievements (see also Awards section) of this school that has been covered in magazines, newspapers and blogs. The school has been approved and is recognized in the most prestigious International Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Federation (see references on the page). Very specially, the school has been featured in one the Montreal leading TV news programs called "Le Téléjournal". Bruno, the head instructor and the school appeared clearly (interview) and are mentioned explicitly in the program. Please take a look at the YouTube video (record of the TV program in French) referenced in that lead section of the page.


Issue 2: "Founder is barely notable on his own."

Reply 2: Bruno F. Fernandes is indeed a notable Martial artist, a physician (ophthalmologist), 4 times Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World champion with several other Gold medals in international competitions (ex. 2013 Australian championships). I wonder if there is any other Martial artist in Quebec, Canada who has received as many awards and distinction as Bruno F. Fernandes. This is cleared evidenced in this bio. Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_F._Fernandes


Issue 3: "Instructor list is also a bunch of non-notables."

Reply 3: Please look very closely at the reliable and independent references related to the achievements of these instructors.

In adddition to Bruno, I have very cleary and distinctively mentionned and justified (internal links, solid references) the recognized credentials of the others. For example among others: Olivier Aubin-Mercier is a rising MMA star,[2][19] member of the Ultimate Fighter show who featured in the The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia.[20]


Issue 4: "GSP's presence is barely tertiary information."

Reply 4: No, Sir. I have mentioned clearly with supporting references the following: GSP who all UFC and MMA amateurs appreciate so much has trained and received his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) black belt in this school from the hands of Bruno F. Fernandes himself. GSP himself seems to have given credit in his performances to his practice of BJJ. This has been mentioned very clearly in the Le Téléjournal program in the YouTube video. Please take a second look at the video in the references(sorry it is in French).


Issue 5: "This should not even be a redirect as it's wholly non-notable."

Reply 5: After the previous answers, I am confident that you have a better picture of the content of this page and the players mentioned. I am sure this whole story is a simple misunderstanding. Upon creation, the Gracie Barra page has been reviewed and approved by another administrator named PRehse who happens to be a Martial artist himself. Please take a look at his credentials here: : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PRehse


Issue 6: "This was deleted at least once, and should have stayed that way"

Reply 6: I sincerely hope this page is restored after all the detailed explanation I gave. Indeed, the firt version of the page was deleted for good reason: that author knew little about Wikipedia rules. Then, I took matters into my hands and crafted a whole new content from scratch. During this process, I took great care in reading and addressing all the issues that were raised by admnistrators in the deletion log of the first version. This way, I made sure there was no repeated mistake.


Conclusion

__________

I am pleased to have been given the opportunity to clarify certains points and defend the Gracie Barra Montreal page. I sincerely hope all the time and effort I put into this creation will be rewarded and the page immediately restored. I am ready to keep on improving the page should you have any other legitimate remark.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Best regards.

Apparently it was considered to be "different enough" to the original when it was reposted. That's discussion was already had DP 16:06, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I did not as stated above review and approve the article. As usual I just made sure that the article was properly integrated so that it would not fall off the radar. Still the founder Bruno_F._Fernandes has his own article and his notability has nothing to do with his school/dojo/club which for an independent article must stand on its own merits. There are several good examples of this for MMA fighters that have their own schools - some are notable most are not. I am reserving my vote because there are significant changes from the last deleted article and I want to explore the references but I think the original AfD got it right.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:12, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Thank you for your comment. I would like to understand this statement: "Still the founder Bruno_F._Fernandes has his own article and his notability has nothing to do with his school/dojo/club which for an independent article must stand on its own merits." In the issues raised, the person who deleted the article seems to imply the opposite as one the issues: Issue 2: "Founder is barely notable on his own." That is to say, he is linking the two as an issue. Thank you.

The article has no references to reliable secondary sources, only to the website of the organisation, other groups offering yoga classes, and blogs promoting yoga mats. Accordingly it fails WP:GNG - as well as being just another type of yoga, the article gives no indication of its notability. If there is anything salvageable I suggest it should be merged into Yoga or similar. BethNaught (talk) 22:19, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added 4 more citations. I believe that the deletion tag should be removed and replaced with a notability tag as this article needs to be improved with additional references, but, in my opinion, has enough citations to warrant its existence.

The tags can be removed when the article meets Wikipedia standards. Which it won't without a complete rewrite. Wikipedia isn't here to provide free advertising.

  • Keep The article is almost one year old and got no updates from the US Wikipedia community.. It should be expanded not deleted. He´s relevant to the field not only on system theory but on other subjects as well. He´s well known outside US and also have references about his work on the Wikipedia from other countries. I suggest the removal from the deletation list to add it to the article expansion list. If there´s no expansion on the article or after the expansion the article don´t fit on Wikipedia guidelines, then add it to the deletation list, but it should be cleaned up and expanded first. I´m sure Brazil and other Latin American wikipedians will expand the article. --JCarterJr (talk) 22:47, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment - One of his books is listed on the bibliography list of portuguese and spanish wikipedia article about systems with other regarded thinkers. I´m looking for more sources and I´ll add it when I expand the article. As I mentioned, there´s a lot of things that should be added, so the article shouldn´t be flagged to deletetion, but to expansion and sources. Also, your argument that he made nothing new is not right. His theory about systems it´s totally new and add a whole new perspective to the field, but I guess this is my fault because of the way I wrote the criticism part. I´ll correct that. You also flagged my account as a new editor that made few or no edits and I don´t think this is fair. I´m new to wikipedia and I pretend to edit articles about systems, brain, consciousness and other related stuff, but that doesn´t mean that I want to promote this subjects, but it means that these are the subjects I can contribute in a helpful way. Also, I´ve edited some articles on the brazillian and spanish wikipedia that are not shown on the US profile for some reason. Let me finish saying that in my opinion Wikipedia is not a place to repeat what´s already online, if this was true, there wouldn´t be a reason to Wikipedia to exist, but the fact you couldn´t find anything about him doesn´t mean that the article should be deleted .But I understand your concern about abuses and I know they happen all the time, but this is clearly not the case. --JCarterJr (talk) 05:09, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Cannot find any sources or even a single citation on GScholar. @JCarterJr: "notability" in the sense that it is used on Wikipedia has nothing to do with "worthwhile" or "meritorious", or anything like that. It is used in the sense of "being noted" (by others, evidently). And that in itself is not enough either: the fact that someone has been noted needs to be verifiable by independent reliable sources. WP itself (including the Spanish and Portuguese versions) is not a reliable source, we need something more substantial. So in the absence of courses, we simply cannot have an article. I'll follow this discussion, so if you can find some good sources, I'll be happy to change my !vote. --Randykitty (talk) 13:16, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I´m a philosophy student and I can say this subject is a hard one to find sources because of it´s complexity and interdisciplinary nature.

  • Sure. He have a book called Universal Theory that was published by Saraiva Publishing in Brazil, but I´m sure about the year. I think it was 2011 or 2012. The Universal Theory itself not the book was created earlier.--186.231.125.144 (talk) 06:10, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I googled '"Universal Theory" "Saraiva Publishing"', but found not a single hit. Is the title not available in English? You should be aware that, even if the book is "published" in the conventional sense, it's not enough to demonstrate the subject's notability. Another possible path to notability is the article's assertion that he has published "nearly a hundred research articles", but the source is a dead link. WoS shows 35 articles for "MH Almeida", but they're mostly in the subjects of forestry and endocrinology, which seem inconsistent with this Almeida, who the article claims is involved in law. Any suggestions for further checking? Agricola44 (talk) 16:47, 20 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]
    • Comment This whole story is crazy. I was having the same problem that you had about the references. I know the book is real because I´ve read it. I also know he created some other stuff and I couldn´t find it any reference anywhere. All I could find was an interview for blog that I´ve never heard of. So I´ve done some investigation and here´s what I found out. The guy seens to be averse to publicity and interviews. The book had a very small publishing and had a small success but it was pulled for no reason. When his work started to show on Wikipedia and other sites, it was deleted later by DMCA request. I have no idea what´s going on, but it seens that the guy doesn´t want any information about him anywhere. Also this clearly doesn´t follow Wikipedia standards, so how do I change my vote?

  • Keep  Correct me if I am wrong, but Wikipedia always keeps Mayfield murders solved via the efforts of British journalists.  This story was being reported in Australia in 2004.  Again from Australia, now in 2009, we learn, "Susan Galbreath was invited to go to Frankfort by the State’s Attorney General. There, she was formally presented with the first KBI’s Outstanding Citizen Award for her services to justice on the Jessica Currin murder case."  The source in the article is BBC dated 2013.  Local?  No long-lasting effects?  Maybe if the delete !votes were to show their work in which searches failed to find sources elsewhere than Mayfield, we'd have some understanding of the viewpoint.  Unscintillating (talk) 17:38, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • If Wikipedia doesn't always keep Mayfield murders solved via the efforts of British journalists, you can disprove this by finding a counter-example.  You are trying to shift the burden of evidence because you have nothing to show.  The burden of WP:AGF is on you WP:BEFORE you start a community process.  Where are your search examples that show what you found?  I also suggest that you stop using WP:NOTNEWS and instead use WP:NOTNEWSPAPER.  Unscintillating (talk) 19:45, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

John's rebuttal makes an interesting logical point, while your reply seeks to shift the burden of evidence.  And your reply is in denial that there is a kernel of truth to what I have said, in that a British journalist getting involved in a middle-America murder is out of the ordinary.  Unscintillating (talk) 05:30, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

As already noted from November, the article is not encyclopedic and has had no movement. In addition, zero sources except for a WP:OR style use of a Primary Source. It also seems to slant a bit to the Catholic side.

Also, could probably be merged into the bishop article that already exists. ReformedArsenal (talk) 11:49, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not a candidate for merging since the article is entirely unreferenced. I can't think of anything that could be included in an article with this title that could not be included in Bishop, so the article risks being a POV fork. If this article appeared on the new pages list I'd CSD it as a duplicate article.TheLongTone (talk) 12:24, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete The whole subject of validity can be addressed (to the degree that the concept is even accepted) in the statement that bishops of different churches do not generally officially recognize each others' offices. The rest of it is all RC ecclesiology and doesn't need to be merged into the main article. Mangoe (talk) 13:41, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Christianity-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 17:44, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is nonsense to say that "The whole subject of validity can be addressed (to the degree that the concept is even accepted) in the statement that bishops of different churches do not generally officially recognize each others' offices". The Catholic Church, for example, does recognize the validity of ordinations of bishops in the Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches and some others. The RC Church's position on this bears examination in an article. Despite the lack of references in this article, this is a topic that has been thought about carefully for some centuries in some circles. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:37, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Nonsense" is too strong a word. I must admit that the RC pseudo-recognition of the EO episcopate had slipped my mind, to be sure. Nonetheless I do not see splitting this out as a separate topic; it is simultaneously too big and too small for that. On one level the invalidity of bishops need to be talked about in the main article itself; but on the other hand, detailed church-by-church discussion is indistinguishable from ecclesiology. Mangoe (talk) 12:24, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. This is a valid topic. It could probably be the topic of a good article. References would be needed and some aspects of the style would need work. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:40, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The specific view of the Catholic Church might be a valid topic, developing what is given in the Apostolic succession article, but the more general question is best dealt with in that other article. The text of this article would be of little or no help for such a specific article. There seems to be no basis for its idea that Catholics believe Isaiah 22 was speaking about the papacy (!), and setting that up as a straw man for Calvinists and Reformed Christians to attack. Esoglou (talk) 21:02, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - POV, OR essay without sources. Yes, it's possible that an article about the validity of bishops and bishoprics could be written. I'd venture to suggest it would need to be split from somewhere (though I don't know of anywhere where the subject is covered in enough detail to justify it). It would also need some solid academic sources, a balanced POV and probably a different title. My point is that this should go but if someone who understands the topic sufficiently wants to, they should feel free to start a new article from scratch elsewhere. Stalwart111 10:57, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge any useful content into Bishop, but the article looks more like a rant (from a largely Catholic POV) than anything else. If there is nothing useful to merge then plain delete. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:51, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I've written a long-ish introductory paragraph that makes the article a bit less of a POV rant and attempts to explain the actual nature of the concept and the reason why it is of interest. It still needs references. This present AfD is an example how POV ranting as opposed to exposition for those not previously familiar with the idea and holding different PsOV can make the topic appear worthless rather than making it appear that the topic needs a better article. I think those voting for deletion should look at the new paragraph and see if it justifies reconsidering. Michael Hardy (talk) 18:43, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm sorry, I don't find the additional unsourced paragraph to be a remedy. The treatment of the issue at Episcopi vagantes#Theological issues could well be expanded, but it is hard to see what could be taken from the valid bishop article to merge with that discussion. We are not considering some ideal future article on valid episcopacy, much better thought out, better expressed, and much better sourced. What we are considering is this actual article, which does not at all deserve to be preserved. The ideal future article would be worth keeping, but the present one is not. Esoglou (talk) 20:54, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"We are not considering some ideal future article on valid episcopacy, much better thought out, better expressed, and much better sourced. What we are considering is this actual article". Sorry, but that's dead wrong, by Wikipedia policy. Badness of an article is not grounds for deletion, but is a reason to re-write. Michael Hardy (talk) 17:38, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Right, but an unsourced, irrelevant, POV based, and largely duplicated content is grounds to delete. ReformedArsenal (talk) 18:08, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm afraid I agree. Actual sources are few and far between (and I mean sources available, not sources provided). Most include the term "valid bishop" in passing as part of a wider explanation of related concepts. Episcopal validity might be a topic worth covering, but not at this title. What you're proposing is that we blow it up and start again which is what is often proposed if the title is worth keeping but the content isn't. In this case, neither is worth keeping. Just pick a better title and start your new article (with sources). Stalwart111 21:31, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the effort to improve the article, but I agree that it is still not an article that should be retained. ReformedArsenal (talk) 16:28, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article is at best pushing one of many views on the office of bishop. The meaning of the term is very different for Mormons, Pentecostals, Baptists, Lutherans, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Anglicans and various other groups. The limits of who is and who is not a valid bishop are even more complex. I am not even convinced that "valid bishop" is the most used term for this topic.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:17, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clear Delete Few aspects here represent a unique article - "valid" is already represented by Apostolic Succession, and Bishop by Bishop, plus multiple theological views depending on Denomination not covered, but are elsewhere in WP. --Anonymous209.6 (talk) 00:50, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • CommentThe idea that an aircraft accident is notable because somebody notable was killed is ridiculous. In many case the accident qua accident is unremarkable, and information can be quite adequately included in the persons biography. This is even the case with Steve Fossett, where there is a huge section on the accident and subsequent search. By analogy, why not articles like 1977 Barnes Mini 1275GT crash for Marc Bolan. Or indeed 1999 Winchelsea missed footing accident? In the case of this accident it looks like it might be notable because the aircraft seems to have had a history of problems, so the reason may be of note. Otherwise, this guideline simply values a notable persons life more than a non-notable one, and reflects the fact that even minor aircraft accidents are more newsworthy (not notable) than for example car crashes.TheLongTone (talk) 12:56, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Otherwise, this guideline simply values a notable persons life more than a non-notable one, and reflects the fact that even minor aircraft accidents are more newsworthy (not notable) than for example car crashes." correct.

Their notability is a reason for them having a biography. Their death is part of that biograpy, and can be included in it unless it is an otherwise notable event.TheLongTone (talk) 14:24, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, that's one perspective. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:43, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now at least. There is significant national coverage of the event - national broadsheets have given it a significant level of coverage as have national broadcasters. Additional coverage from regional press, both in East Anglia and the North of Ireland. It strikes me that coverage includes "further analysis or discussion" already. This suggests WP:DEPTH and WP:GEOSCOPE from WP:EVENT are met.
Given the writ issued by the owner against the manufacturer I think there's a reasonable case to argue that a continued media coverage of the even is likely in some form. Yes, at present this is speculation I accept - but not unreasonable speculation. With respect to duration of coverage, WP:PERSISTENCE (again, part of WPEVENT) makes the point that:
...this may be difficult or impossible to determine shortly after the event occurs, as editors cannot know whether an event will receive further coverage or not. That an event occurred recently does not in itself make it non-notable.
It's not unreasonable either to consider that there is a chance that WP:LASTING might also be met given the writ (beyond any lasting impacts on Norbrook Group or related business interests). For these reasons I'd argue WP:EVENT is at least reasonably well met by itself. If speculation proves to be unmerited and media coverage doesn't continue then I'd certainly be prepared to look again at whether the event meets the GNG.

  • merge to the baron's biography. We're talking a general aviation crash here of someone whose claim to fame outside the field of routine coverage of minor "notables" is apparently going to be "oh yeah, he's the one who was killed when his copter crashed." I also have to say that the "all of class X are notable" supposed consensus rules cannot just be strung together through what is really a kind of inheritance. When it comes down to it, this article is already longer than the baron's own article. Finally, the current name is a ridiculously contrived way of avoiding something along the lines of Baron Ballyedmond's helicopter crash which would give the whole notability and separability game away. Mangoe (talk) 14:08, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The title of the article is in accordance with the established naming convention for aircrash articles. I've not attempted to "hide" the existance of the article, It is directly linked from WP:ITN/C, which many active Wikipedians use daily. It is also linked from the relevant template, which means that something like 200,000 people would have seen the existence of the article yesterday when they viewed the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 article. Lord Ballyedmond is well above the threshold of notability. A British and Irish peer, and the richest man in Northern Ireland at the time of his death. Mjroots (talk) 16:42, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm in a group that has a sometimes-contentious naming convention, but ours at least arises from an official source which is the provider of the names in question. This made-up in-wiki name is certainly not what the papers and such are using (they seem to call it the "Norfolk helicopter crash"). But any rate the issue of separability from the baron isn't being addressed. Maybe something will come of the accusations and investigations, but at present the story is "Baron Ballyedmond was killed when his helicopter crashed."

He's certainly the president of a local IIBA chapter, but I don't think this qualifies for default notability. Outside of his activities there I'm unable to find any news coverage, and can't find publishing details on any of his books - although he has been offhandedly mentioned in a couple of IIBA-published books by other authors.

Another editor alerted me to this article's re-creation. It has previously been re-created several times at October 6 University for copyvio, where it was eventually salted. This is a new version of the article and while it doesn't have any copyvio, it doesn't really show how this university passes notability guidelines. It asserts notability by way of awards, but I can't really find any actual coverage for the university as a whole. I did find this book mention, but by large there seems to be a lack of coverage overall. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Tough one. Clearly a private medical-focused institution in Egypt. Has faculty members indicating the school as their primary affiliation in journal articles in pharmacy [4], mathematics [5], zoology [6], periodontology [7], and cardiology [8]. Consequently, I think it is a verifiable institution. Whether it meets WP:ORG is the question, but my personal take is that any school with a medical faculty and teaching hospital is inherently notable -- Samir 06:51, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, we routinely keep articles about accredited, degree awarding educational institutions, unless a hoax is involved. If an Arabic speaker makes a convincing case that this is unaccredited, or a diploma mill, or a hoax, then I will support deletion. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:17, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: No indication of notability in the article (student prizes, group exhibitions and a couple of solo shows fall a long way short of WP:ARTIST criteria), nor have I found anything suitable in other searches including Highbeam, which has various Philippines newspapers in its scope.

  • Comment: Pediapediahan, the creator, has left a message on my talk page. I have advised them to come here to understand the reasoning and procedures and notability concerns. They have asked if it can be userfied to them, but I am not sure if the article will ever be notable enough to go live (unless Keith Paras goes on to achieve notability very quickly.). As it is apparently a school project, maybe a move to Pediapediahan's userspace would be a civil way to handle it? Mabalu (talk) 11:21, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seemingly non-notable person who got involved in a barely-notable murder case which is covered in Budhia Singh. Not even sure there's much here to justify a merge - the murdered man is a redirect to Budhia Singh. Not sure her additional achievements/skills offer her any standalone notability - I see some mentions [9], and a frankly bizarrely written article here but little serious or in-depth coverage - enough to bring for discussion, though.
