The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Procedural close. The article was deleted for unrelated reasons (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Bentley (producer) (2nd nomination)) some time after this AfD was created.

The AfD is being closed many years later, because it was never properly closed back then, because it was never visible, because it was never transcluded on any of the daily logpages. Technically, it has still been open this whole time.

Nobody else could ever be admitted here, because this door was made only for you. I am now going to shut it. (non-admin closure) jp×g 07:09, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This article does not establish its notability by showing significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject itself. Codename Lisa (talk) 04:02, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Articles on individual OS commands do not belong on Wikipedia, and this command is not in any way particularly notable.SJK (talk) 05:14, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There are numerous books which establish the notability of the topic - see Windows Administration at the Command Line, for example. A general prohibition of content about computer commands does not seem sensible; it would be like forbidding content about mathematical operations and symbols. If the current content of the page is not liked then there are obvious alternatives to deletion such as merger with print job and our editing policy is to prefer these. Andrew (talk) 08:10, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi. Please do show us these numerous books. The one you are showing here make Windows administration notable, not Lpr. Notability requires significant coverage not passing and circumstantial coverage. Also, it is only source, not multiple. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 13:26, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment  There is no pretense to a deletion argument here.  In addition, the nomination shows neither evidence of WP:ATD nor components of WP:BEFORE.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:47, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The ATD part is untrue (see my comment below). And the burden of evidence is with the contributor, not nominator. But, I've seen you adding comments like this indiscriminately to far too many deletion discussions, regardless of the article's contents, simply to disrupt and harass. You are showing WP:NOTHERE tendencies. Perhaps it is time you are reported to ANI? Fleet Command (talk) 04:49, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • With respect, I am certain that WP:BURDEN does not bear the meaning that you are trying to ascribe to it, for the reasons that I have already explained at the AfD for SUBST. I do not believe that Unscintillating is trying to disrupt anything or harass anyone. James500 (talk) 15:30, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • With equal respect, I disagree. Both WP:BEFORE and WP:GNG entail looking for sources. And I have see Unscintillating making these ad hominem arguments once too many to concern myself giving it contextual value. History shows it lacks. Fleet Command (talk) 05:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep—Thanks to FleetCommand for the ping. There is actually more information out there on Lpr than there was on Lp (Unix), so I have no doubt a solid article can be assembled. Unfortunately, Codename Lisa has nominated a couple other command-line programs that I consider to be notable, so I don't know that I'll be able to get to this in the next few days. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 04:56, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Lesser Cartographies: Oh, I checked and am checking them. This is the only one that I thought might be worth saving (how would you save an article on COLOR command?) and this is the only one that is not Windows-related. People who know about Windows are easier to find, so don't worry. Fleet Command (talk) 05:03, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For all the discussion here, the fact remains that there isn't extensive coverage in reliable secondary sources - it's brief stuff inside of Unix, Linux, MAC materials. Nwlaw63 (talk) 23:28, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To a first approximation, every Unix sysadmin book from the BSD release until CUPS took over will have a section on printing, and that section will go on at some length as to why there exists two (or three, or four) different printing systems, and a bit about their history. This was not an obscure topic, so tech writers needing to fill magazine pages would contribute their own two cents. Plenty of ink was spilled on the whys and wherefores of this print system well beyond the syntax of the individual commands. I'm not seeing any problem at all with establishing notability. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 01:53, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Reply With respect, you and I appear to have very different ideas of what constitutes notability. All but one of the sources you gave again gives some brief mentions of Lpr inside a larger context. I'm looking for extensive coverage exclusively of the subject. Nwlaw63 (talk) 04:20, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Nwlaw63:, I think you might have confused lpr-the-printing-system with lpr-the-command. The WP:RS I cited demonstrates the notability of the system. The individual commands that make up the system are likely not notable. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 10:37, 17 September 2014 (UTC) Late add: I fixed exactly the same problem at the Lp (Unix) article, but didn't do the same for this article. Sorry about that; we were talking about two completely different things. I'll do a quick rewrite.... Lesser Cartographies (talk) 10:42, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge+Redirect to Line Printer Daemon protocol. Lesser Cartographies (clearly they are on a roll) has found multiple in-depth reliable sources sufficient to to demonstrate notability of the topic. Based on that I would recommend keep. But it is true that lpr and the Line Printer Daemon protocol are closely related and in the interests of consensus, a merge and redirect is also a reasonable course of action. --Mark viking (talk) 03:55, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update—Those not participating at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lp (Unix) wouldn't have caught that those who did participate were discussing the notability of the lpr printing system rather than the lpr command in that system. My bad. I've done a quick hack on the article to refocus it; the citations I provided above should now make a lot more sense. Thanks to Nwlaw63 for pointing this out. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 10:59, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Redirect to Line Printer Daemon protocol. Having a compromise is better than having no consensus. Fleet Command (talk) 20:08, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Redirect is fine with me. (Nominator). Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 09:17, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Redirect In the interest of consensus, and because of the clarification that this is about the system and not the command, I'm changing my choice from Delete to Merge and Redirect. Nwlaw63 (talk) 16:16, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi. Please do show us those numerous books. This is only one book, its coverage is two paragraphs and the coverage is not significant; it is circumstantial and brief. So, I guess you said "delete" only haven't realized it yet. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 13:30, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Very bad idea to have articles on individual commands. Besides that, I don't see any evidence that this is notable. A brief how-to mention in a manual does not establish notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:32, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete; consider partial merge. Maybe this article along with rmdir, rm (Unix) and del (command) can be merged into file deletion to diversify its contents but the merge cannot be full because of WP:NOTMANUAL policy. Or maybe one can transwiki them all to Wikibooks. Fleet Command (talk) 04:41, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep—Generally speaking, standard command-line utilities have a presumption of notability. At some point in history people noticed there was a problem that wasn't getting solved well enough with existing techniques, several attempts were usually made at a solution, a solution becomes standardized, and as the world moves on the solution can become obsolete. That story is what ought to be reflected in the article, and for recent, well-documented operating systems like MS-DOS, WP:RS is not all that difficult to find. The story here is pretty straightforward: MSDOS introduced subdirectories without thinking through how they would be used, people complained about the problem until competing products started implementing solutions, Microsoft took notice and eventually (MSDOS 6!) added their own solution, and it got dropped as part of the transition away from MSDOS-based operating systems. I didn't know any of that 30 minutes ago, btw. I need to track down a few older cites and I'll then set about rewriting the article. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 05:11, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That kind of notability isn't required in Wikipedia. Wikipedia notability guideline says: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail. Presumed" means that significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. Sorry. I think you shouldn't waste time on this one. Fleet Command (talk) 05:16, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update—I've rewritten the article. Quotes from the sources I used are on the talk page. There's more WP:RS to add, particularly with the security implications, but I think the current state is enough to get out of AfD. Codename Lisa, SJK, Andrew, NinjaRobotPirate, Unscintillating, Fleet Command: please take a look and let me know what else you think is required. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 07:28, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Satisfies GNG. Does not, in its present form, look anything like a manual. James500 (talk) 18:33, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I dunno. I think there's enough to good content that it could be merged to an article on the history of DOS, but I'm still reluctant to keep the article. It's a well-written and referenced article, but it still falls a bit short of what I would like to see as far as significant coverage. One could certainly argue that some DOS and UNIX commands are notable, just as there are notable Pokemon, but I think the vast majority should be deleted or merged, just as the non-notable Pokemon were.

  • Keep With Lesser Cartographies significant rewrite, this is now a well-referenced start-class article sourced to multiple reliable sources. Thus notability of the topic is demonstrated according to WP:GNG. The article content itself is descriptive and encyclopedic with no major problems. A notable topic and an article with no major problems suggests keeping the article. Nice work. --Mark viking (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Articles on individual OS commands do not belong on Wikipedia, and this command is not in any way particularly notable. Many operating systems have commands that perform similar functions; the function itself (adjusting file attributes) may be notable, but the specific commands used on particular operating systems to do it are not. SJK (talk) 05:16, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment  There is no pretense to a deletion argument here in the nomination.  In addition, the nomination shows neither evidence of WP:ATD nor components of WP:BEFORE.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:57, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unscintillating, showing such an evidences is not required, although this particular nominator does show that evidence. I just come from an AfD that I personally closed; this particular nominator had started it and worked in concert with another editor to help keep the article. To make worse, I've personally seen you attempting to disrupt far too many AfDs with a similar comment like this. You are showing strong evidences of WP:NOTHERE tendencies. If you continue, you will end up in ANI. Fleet Command (talk) 04:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ User:FleetCommand: With respect, Unscintillating is quite correct in saying that the nominator's original rationale does not appear to advance a valid argument for deletion. The rationale appears to be that the article doesn't cite sources that demonstrate its notability. But we all know that if such sources exist, it is immaterial whether they are cited or otherwise mentioned in the article at the moment. His comments do not appear to be disruptive. James500 (talk) 13:17, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • You sure you are talking about the same person? Because I am not seeing what you are saying in the message above. Plus, I've seen him pull this stunt in far too many AfDs to concern myself with your defense. In addition, per WP:BURDEN, nominator has no such responsibility. Fleet Command (talk) 04:58, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unscintillating, I didn't find your initial comment helpful. By the principle of charity, I read Codename Lisa's objection as one of topic notability. While I would have preferred a bit more evidence of WP:BEFORE, that (or its absence) does not change whether or not the topic is notable. Citing WP:ATD is likewise not helpful if you're not going to dive in and start making the edits. The best method of establishing notability is improving the article such that notability is obvious. The second-best method is providing sources so that others made do so. Attacking the nomination, even if the nomination is flawed, doesn't establish notability. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 07:14, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I finally got around to skimming your link.  AfD is not a collegial academic exercise.  An AfD nomination requires breaking the WP:AGF of content contributions of the work of our content contributors.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:41, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • With all due respect, that is a very mean thing to say; and, I am afraid, very much explains your hostile behavior across Wikipedia. People do mistakes in good faith, and we love them exactly because they have the courage to do that mistake. In case of AfD, assuming good faith is guaranteed. If I see reasons for assuming bad faith, I'd start an ANI or ArbCom case instead. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 08:34, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Codename Lisa: I'm confused.  To assume good faith, I have to assume that this was not a case of "commenting on other users", because otherwise as per the Group notice the comment would be a disruptive WP:NPA.  Please assert that this was not commenting on other users, and explain why.  12:28, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not ashamed of assuming good faith and loving people. And yes, commenting on other people – like you did at the start of this discussion thread – is disruptive an hurtful. You do it in my AfDs. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 13:50, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • My initial comment is an analysis of the nomination.  I modified the comment in one place to make it more black and white that it was a comment on the nomination.  Hope that helps.  Unscintillating (talk) 14:32, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Codename Lisa: Not sure if that is an answer or not, and I want to continue to WP:AGF.  I'll be more specific.  Please assert and explain that "that is a very mean thing to say" is not commenting on other users, "your hostile behavior across Wikipedia" is not commenting on other users.  Unscintillating (talk) 14:32, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • AfD nominations that can be corrected are one reason that we have WP:SK with WP:NPASR.  I expect that AfD quality would improve quickly if about 1–3% of daily nominations were immediately closed WP:SK WP:NPASR.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:00, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or transwiki. This page is essentially a tutorial and its existence is against WP:NOTMANUAL. It is more like a Wikibook or Wikiversity material. Fleet Command (talk) 04:34, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep—A cursory search of google books turned up the following:
  • Petzold, Charles (June 10, 1986). "Changing DOS File Attributes". PC Magazine. pp. 249–262. PC-DOS's ATTRIB utiitylets you change the Read-Only attribute bit. ATTR.COM gives you access to the other attributes as well. As an aside, Charles Petzold is a moderately big deal in the Windows universe and here he provides you with assembly language listings. Because he's that kind of guy.

  • Hi FleetCommand. That is one opinion (and a good one). Here's another: If the subject of an article has been proven to pass notability guidelines, there is no need for a deletion discussion. per Wikipedia:Deletion is not cleanup. In my (limited) experience, I can't bring to mind an example a discussion at AfD that deemed the topic notable and resulted in deletion (aside from trivial examples like duplication, attack pages, etc.). That's not to say the argument you propose is against policy or can't be successful. But in practice, a demonstration of notability seems to correlate highly with closing admins keeping the article, regardless of the current state of the article. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 05:27, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Actually, you have misquoted. The full quotation also requires "...can be improved through normal editing...". This one cannot. Fleet Command (talk) 06:46, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve. The sources offered by Andrew and Lesser Cartographies satisfy GNG. In all probability, any instruction can be rewritten as a description. James500 (talk) 14:03, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Lesser Cartographies' and Andrew's reliable source finds. Multiple in-depth reliable sources show the topic satisfies notability per WP:GNG. The article needs a bit of cleanup to remove howto material and better sourcing, but these are matters of ordinary editing, not deletion. A notable topic and an article with potential, per WP:POTENTIAL, suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 22:02, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Mark viking: Look, you are ignoring the WP:NOTMANUAL issue. This article is written like tutorial and notable or not, has no right to be in Wikipedia. (Nominator's fault for not mentioning but) I can re-AfD this article for WP:NOTMANUAL immediately after this one is closed, if it really suites you. Still, somehow, I think discussing it here is more civil. Fleet Command (talk) 06:46, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @FleetCommand:, ok, I'll rewrite it. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 09:44, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since my recommendation, Lesser Cartographies has in fact removed the howto content (I should have done this myself, thanks LC!), leaving an encyclopedic stub suitable for expansion given the references found. I consider the assertion "no right to be in Wikipedia" as another way of saying WP:IDONTLIKEIT. There are no "rights" here as such--the main purpose of an AfD discussion is to determine whether a particular topic has the potential to become a reasonable article. In this case, the article is already reasonable and sources found show this topic has potential for at least a well-sourced, modest encyclopedic article. Note that renomination of a topic right after close of a previous discussion is usually considered disruptive and often results in a speedy keep. AfD is not for renomination until you get the result you want. --Mark viking (talk) 10:14, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The prose has been expanded and better referenced. I see no manual-like content nor any how-to prose. The refs all look like RS, four secondary and two primary. It looks like a perfectly fine short article. I think the emphasis on history, context and impact could serve as a useful template for other articles on OS commands. Nice work! --Mark viking (talk) 15:25, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • And off-topic. It is as much about Attrib as it is about Backup. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 08:34, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  Only one argument for deletion remains after more than two weeks of discussion, and that !vote does not cite any policies or guidelines.  That argument does not say that the topic is not notable, it says that the topic is "not in any way particularly notable", which would be true for the vast majority of material in the encyclopedia such as the notable figures from 800 A.D.  Notable topics can still be merged, but merging to file attributes doesn't make sense, as this topic is better handled as a stand-alone article.  If merge was really all that important, ATTRIB has many of the characteristics of DIR.  There is history (which I can only momentarily cite as WP:OR which is allowed on talk pages), when after MS removed the functionality of DIR to display hidden files (or maybe it was system files), ATTRIB was (IMO) preferred to DIR for basic directory listings.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:10, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep I believe it is notable. There is several Google book mentions of him, plus the gazette entry, which confirms him withe the DSO. The DSO makes him notable. And what about this Google book entry, [[2]] which links both him and the miniature range, together.scope_creep talk 12:44 6 September 2014 (UTC)

  • Keep – If anything this article has WP:POTENTIAL. The article is being added to the WikiProject Military history, which is quite active. Also, a note on their talk page as to this AFD will be posted. So I think project members will come on in to assist with developing the article. (The fact that an article on miniature ranges has not been developed is not determinative as to Nutt's notability. We are building, so the miniature range is an idea for another, worthwhile article.) – S. Rich (talk) 04:51, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment: Once the article on the mini range has been written (if in fact enough even exists on the topice), then perhaps an article on the inventor would be appropriate. More likely, however, a mention of the inventor's name in the article on the invention should be plenty. —Gaff ταλκ
  • "Importance" and notability are not the same thing. Wikipedia has different criteria for biographies as opposed to bus lines. Stars and planets have different criteria from characters in children's books. —Gaff ταλκ 23:44, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm a little confused by what exactly this thing is that he invented, to be honest... But a guy whose contributions to military history and technology appear in multiple reliable sources? Yeah, that sounds sufficient to me, even if I don't personally understand his contribution. TheOtherBob 03:13, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Military history and the ins and outs of artillery ranges is outside my comfort zone too, but the article appears to be carefully researched, has multiple sources that suggest notability at a key point in time and makes interesting reading even for someone with only a general knowledge and passing interest, thereby fulfilling some key criteria for an entry. I suspect this is an article that could also be developed if it is allowed to stand and see no good reason for a hasty deletion. Libby norman (talk) 23:26, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Commercial airliner crash that involved fatalities, which is criteria that passes WP:AIRCRASH. The nom has only thrown up a WP:VAGUEWAVE rationale. --Oakshade (talk) 04:28, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:AIRCRASH is an essay and one that contradicts policy and guidelines. From the essay itself - "Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles, it is recommended that it not be cited at Articles for Deletion discussions for either keeping or deleting.". St★lwart111 10:12, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Besides which, that essay considers the aircraft in question to be a "light aircraft", not an "airliner", and the crash in question doesn't meet either of the criteria specified for light aircraft. So even if we give the essay credence (we shouldn't) the subject still doesn't meet the criteria established there. St★lwart111 10:17, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It was the nom who used WP:AIRCRASH, which this passes, not me. And a 20 person aircraft is not "light aircraft". Smaller than a 747, yes, but not "light." A 2-seater would be "light." I might as well just say "Keep per WP:NOTNEWS, GNG, AIRCRASH" and that would be just as valid as the nom has given zero rational as to why it fails those guidelines.--Oakshade (talk) 20:40, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That kind of misses the point. We shouldn't be using AIRCRASH at all. But given it has been mentioned, the essay uses gross weight of an aircraft (not number of seats) to differentiate between "light aircraft" and other aircraft. The aircraft in question falls well short of the gross weight specified and so is (according to the essay) a "light aircraft". They aren't my definitions and I think we're better off ignoring the essay and using WP:EVENT (which this also fails). St★lwart111 20:52, 28 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Redirect to MASwings#Incidents and Accidents, where this accident is already mentioned. Unfortunately, it does not meet WP:EVENT because practically all coverage of this crash stopped within two to three days and I see no evidence of any long term effects like a major NTSB investigation, changes to how the builder builds or maintains their aircraft, criminal charges or penalties against the airline, lawsuits from survivors, etc. Yes, two people died, but we do not have articles on every single aviation incident that resulted in a fatality, do we (like the recent jet fighter crash that killed five people in Libya or small plane crash in Ontario that killed one)?

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

Not notable as mediaeval English professor (meets none of the criteria of WP:PROF in his day job), not notable for history hobby (minor coverage at best, as independent scholar meets none of the criteria for WP:PROF), 2012 media coverage would be WP:BLP1E. He seems to have fans amongst his political fellows, but I can't even find evidence of actual notability on this level. I asked over the past several weeks on the talk page for evidence of notability, a few trivial sources have been added but nothing that comes within a mile of WP:PROF or WP:GNG. - David Gerard (talk) 19:11, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Stalin apologetics and Holodomor denial are fringe positions; if Furr passed WP:FRINGE that would count as notability too - David Gerard (talk) 18:54, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The section on Grover Furr that you wrote on the 'Stalin Apologetics' page on RationalWiki was clearly written for aggressive and inflammatory purposes, which makes this deletion proposal highly suspicious. Not to mention the fact that you created that whole page only a month ago, suggesting that it's part of a larger effort taken on by you to silence alternative views on Joseph Stalin. Even if my accusations are not true, the arguments against Grover Furr's notability are severely flawed themselves. It is obvious that the proposal to delete this page is not for the sake of neutrality or credibility - it's for outright censorship. The entire question of whether this page should exist is on false grounds and should be discarded immediately. Unrequestedsillything 00:52, 9 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete - as per above reasons. He has a few followers but the world of tankie-dom is mercifully small. Mrhalligan (talk) 19:45, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ignoring the derogatory term for the moment ... if there was even WP:GNG-level noteworthiness there rather than just "he appeared at a conference" or "someone notable reviewed his book" (notable reviewers review lots of non-notable books) ... I'm willing to be convinced, but even the fans couldn't produce - David Gerard (talk) 19:59, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • By the metric laid out here, a sizable portion of the WP:PROF section would need to be gutted, as almost none meet this qualification level. As it is this particular article being targeted, it must be judged that the reason for deletion has nothing to do with the person, but to do with what his particular writing specialty is regarding. This looks to be nothing other than attempted censorship of a viewpoint not held by those asking for deletion, and nothing more. (Downix (talk) 22:36, 7 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
  • Delete - per the nom. Given WP:BLP and the lack of meeting the criteria of WP:PROF, I see no reason Furr's article should remain. --Bastique ☎ call me! 01:43, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Literaturnaia Rossiia and Socialism and Democracy are both fine sources, as is the Chinese journal which reviewed Furr's work on Khrushchev. I would like to note that Gerard's comment, "even the fans couldn't produce [more sources]," is incorrect. There are more I could provide. Just focusing on critical commentary: David Horowitz sharply attacked Furr in one of his books and Michael Medved also devoted some attention to him on his radio show. In late 2012 comments he made about Stalin in the context of a Montclair State University debate went viral across various conservative websites, most notably FrontPage Magazine, The Daily Caller and PJ Media. The Star-Ledger ("the largest circulated newspaper in the U.S. state of New Jersey" according to the Wikipedia article) had critical articles on him as well. All this is notable. I would also like to note that Mrhalligan's remark that "the world of tankie-dom is mercifully small" suggests that something irrelevant towards adherence to Wikipedia guidelines has motivated his decision. --Ismail (talk) 13:58, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The 2012 coverage is a really clear WP:BLP1E, particularly as he was literally set up by libertarians with cameras looking for a "Marxist professor" to pillory - arguably that wasn't even about Furr as an individual at all, and using such single-incident personal attacks with the intent of blackening someone's name in the media to drag someone into Wikipedia strikes me as an extremely bad precedent on BLP grounds (hence BLP1E being a thing). For the other points, please enumerate how he does on the nine criteria of WP:PROF - David Gerard (talk) 11:52, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Grover Furr is notable for more than one event. The fact that he has published multiple books over several years proves that, not to mention the occasions where his appearance in public were significant. - Unrequestedsillything (talk • contribs) 02:38, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Deleting this article will reveal that Wikipedia can't tolerate alternative opinion on Stalin.

  • keep - we speak about censorship in the former Soviet Union, but what I see here is censorship at its best. Grover Furr's scholarship which is impeccable is not the issue being contested here, but the conclusions derived from his research. I may not like the fact the sky is blue,but it is. If Wiki removes this page it is proving the fact there is no freedom of speech in the US and that research and scholarship are irrelevant and that ideology is the only thing that matters. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jessicacoco2005 (talk • Contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Keep - The arguments given for deletion are at best questionable. This looks to be little more than an attempt to censor an unpopular position. After seeing this page listed for deletion, I have taken the time to read two of Grover Furr's work, and in cross-referencing his positions against citable references, I have found nothing to disqualify him as a genuine historian, admittedly one with a viewpoint which is not generally popular. We do not delete unpopular historians - even discredited historians remain on Wikipedia. If Grover Furr is to be deleted on the grounds given, we would have to hold this standard up to others which they could not meet. Who would be the next writer to eliminate under this new standard? Edmund Morris? David McCullough? Joan Wallach Scott? No, like Grover Furr's position or no, deleting him is just censorship. (Downix (talk) 22:36, 7 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
Doing some checking, I discovered that this is not the first time someone has attempted to have this article deleted. It was agreed to keep, and that it met the qualifications based on WP:GNG as noted by Bgwhite on the talk page. Now we have David Gerard inventing this new WP:PROF standard in order to force the deletion. (Downix (talk) 21:20, 10 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
  • Keep - Deleting this article would be to uphold a double standard as there are countless other articles about academics whose notabilities are less that Furr. Along with others here, I also agree that the reasons and motives behind the arguments for deletion are questionable and lack merit. Deleting this article would indeed be nothing more than censorship.

In reply to David Gerard, I would just like to note that the claim he was "literally set up by libertarians with cameras looking for a 'Marxist professor' to pillory," assuming it's true, has no bearing on if an incident is notable or not. The fact is that Grover Furr was criticized by various conservative outlets (which are notable enough to have Wikipedia articles on them) for his comments on Stalin in the context of a debate. Even more importantly, however, he has been criticized in the past by David Horowitz (as noted above, and the reference used to be in the article until it was removed for being "biased" against Furr), and in the book In Denial (also noted above), which was written by professors John Earl Haynes and Harvey Klehr.
I would also like to comment on your original message, where you referred to Furr's writings on the USSR as a "history hobby." Furr has been writing about Soviet history for at least 28 years. He published an article in the Summer-Fall 1986 issue of Russian History/Histoire Russe, In that same issue there were articles by J. Arch Getty, Sheila Fitzpatrick, William Chase and other historians. The fact that he's published various books on this "hobby," and is clearly most notable for said "hobby," demonstrates that it probably isn't a hobby. No one would say Simon Leys had a "hobby" of writing about the Cultural Revolution just because he taught literature instead of history. --Ismail (talk) 06:13, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am Hank Glocklin. I am no stranger to the controversy surrounding the writings of Professor Grover. I see here that his page is marked for deletion and I am surprised. Professor Furr's work is well researched. He cites sources and qualifies all of his statements. It seems that the only reason that his work is being targeted is because some editors at Wikipedia disagree with his findings. Let them prove otherwise. Until then, let his work alone. It is not the job of Wikipedia to sensor university professors. It is their job to confirm the accuracy of the subject. There is no reason to doubt the authentic and reliable statements made by Furr. Hank Glocklin

  • Delete as per the initial reasons offered by David Gerard. I haven't found notability inside his field, let alone actual credibility inside the field of Soviet History. The irony is the accusations of this deletion being politically motivated are themselves, politically motivated.

    • This is clearly politically motivated. Based on David Gerard's writings on RationalWiki, he is clearly trying to delete this page because he is opposed to Grover Furr's teachings.

        • David Gerard introduced a metric of WP:PROF in order to rationalize deletion despite it having been determined in 2008 to qualify based on WP:GNG.

      • It would seem that if David had a political motivation, he'd be more inclined for keeping the article, because Furr's article on Wikipedia would present an opportunity to make him a target.

      • As has already been said several times, even if Grover Furr does not qualify under WP:PROF, there are other forms of notability under which he has been PROVEN to qualify under, especially WP:GNG. I don't need to give my personal arguments for WP:GNG, because other here have already given more than enough evidence for this. Unrequestedsillything 04:51, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ask and you shall receive David Gerard. The following numbers correspond with this page
  • 1. Furr hasn't done this to my knowledge. If someone is willing to provide information that he has made in impact in his field (Medieval English lit) then fine, but his historical work is outside of his field so imo his work on Stalin isn't worth considering for this criteria.
  • 2. I can't find any awards he has been presented.
  • 3. He isn't.
  • 4. It hasn't. Similar to #1.
  • 5. He doesn't. per his own site.
  • 6. Again, he doesn't.
  • 7. He hasn't made an impact outside of academia with his work inside his specialty.
  • 8. He isn't.
  • 9 He isn't. SomeLeviathan (talk) 18:42, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:PROF states that "it is possible for an academic not to be notable under the provisions of this guideline but to be notable in some other way under one of the other subject specific notability guidelines." Furr isn't a history professor so I don't see how WP:PROF applies. --Ismail (talk) 22:02, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
He isn't notable on GNG either. "Best seller in Russia" turned out on examination to be "author claimed it sold well in one section of one bookshop in Moscow". Assorted scattered reviews. Claims that turn out not to be supported by the references at all. This is what puffed-up BLPs look like - David Gerard (talk) 07:09, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Enough people know who Grover Furr is for him to be notable. Unrequestedsillything (talk) 07:36, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, David Gerard, I see that you wrote an entire section dedicated to bashing Grover Furr on RationalWiki. You took the time to slander him there. Is he somehow notable there, but not here? Unrequestedsillything (talk) 08:47, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's utterly irrelevant to this deletion discussion, but since you ask - I wrote up something on Stalin apologists (Holodomor denialists) and so forth) on RationalWiki, which has absolutely nothing to do with Wikipedia apart from also running on wiki software. I added Furr there since he's a favourite reference of Stalin apologists and Holodomor denialists. I looked him up and found a Wikipedia article. He looked ... really not very noteworthy at all. I asked on the talk page if there was more evidence of notability. Getting no answer, I added a PROD. Ismail removed it and insisted he'd make notability clear; I was glad to hear this. He then added stuff that doesn't actually evidence WP:PROF (either as an English professor or as an independent historian) nor GNG. So I put it up for deletion. Because he really isn't noteworthy, even as he has a few fans who share his views on Stalin and the things Stalin did. That's the story of this nomination.
So, rather than continuing to make personal attacks on me, I would ask you: please go through each of the nine criteria of WP:PROF and show how Prof Furr meets them, either as an English professor or an independent historian. This is not a vote, you need to bring arguments and refrain from personal attacks. One hundred "I like him and you are a political censor" with no arguments relevant to notability criteria ... equals no arguments relevant to notability criteria - David Gerard (talk) 13:44, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's worth also noting that Stalin apologetics and Holodomor denialism is an extremely fringe position, as fringe as Holocaust denial (a similar denial of an extensively documented event widely considered an attempted genocide); Furr's views are well outside the mainstream of history and historiography (and he is not a professional historian). That he has fringe fans does not show that his views are actually notable in the wider world. If you could show notability under WP:FRINGE, that would count too. ("The notability of a fringe theory must be judged by statements from verifiable and reliable sources, not the proclamations of its adherents.")
I want to stress: I am willing to be convinced. I don't agree with Furr's views, but if Furr is actually notable then he should have an article. So convince me, with relevant arguments - David Gerard (talk) 18:47, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unrequestedsillything, David Gerard is not David Gerald whom you so helpfully linked to, twice. Bastique ☎ call me! 21:30, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is my proposal that David Gerard be removed from discussions on this topic, as he has continually invented new criteria to validate deletion, despite it having been acknowledged in discussions back in 2008 that this article qualifies under WP:GNG. This appears to be a personal vendetta of some sort, and not a legitimate attempt to edit Wikipedia. First he attempted to claim it does not qualify as WP:PROF and had that argument dismantled. Now he is attempting to claim it should be deleted due to not qualifying as WP:FRINGE, and has attempted to further muddle the issue by attempting to claim this is over academics. Grover Furr was found in 2008 to qualify under WP:GNG and that this is happening now 6 years later is ridiculous. This is not a place for personal vendettas, which is what this appears to be at this point. I reiterate, this is an attempt at censorship. (Downix (talk) 18:16, 14 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
No, I'm saying WP:FRINGE is another way to qualify. Any of the methods would qualify. Do you have a pointer to this 2008 discussion? (I've asked for pointers above to claimed previous discussions.) - David Gerard (talk) 12:52, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You already commented on it, referenced from the main article's talk page. (Downix (talk) 00:39, 17 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
That's just a talk page discussion on whether he might pass or not. It's not sufficient to replace a proper AFD discussion, which is what this is. Specific arguments that cite the notability guidelines need to be brought right here to the discussion. I don't understand your apparent resistance to doing so - David Gerard (talk) 10:41, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nor I understand why you are continuing to push despite having met the qualifications for now three different categories of noteworthiness. (Downix (talk) 06:05, 18 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]

  • Relisting note — It should be noted that the vast majority of the keep votes above are invalid arguments. 1. Even if an AfD nomination was done with political intent—and suggesting it is usually a violation our assumption of good faith and personal attack policies unless it's clear and obvious—if the article fails on its merits of meeting our other content guidelines and policies, the article gets axed. 2. Whether or not the arguments made by the subject within their body of work have merit is irrelevant to this discussion. The guideline-and-policy-based concern raised by the nominator is that the subject fails to meet the guidelines for the notability of academics (WP:PROF) and that the existing coverage that would have gone toward meeting WP:PROF is instead also a violation of our one-event notability of a living person (and/or presumably one-event notability of any biography). Arguments going forth should address those concerns (or add policy-and-guideline-based concerns/rebuttals to them), otherwise they will be summarily ignored by the closing admin. --slakr\ talk / 22:30, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'll note that demonstrating (not merely blankly asserting) notability under WP:GNG or WP:FRINGE, for example, would also pass notability - not all of these, but any of these - David Gerard (talk) 09:40, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Save the article was not added for WP:PROF nor WP:FRINGE but on WP:GNG. The continuing attempt to force deletion based on a non-relevant argument still smells of censorship. Since WP:FRINGE is based on pseutoscientific analysis, and Furr's work is based instead on documented reference, it would still be an attempt at censorship by dismissing work done on those grounds. The result is the same, an attempt at censorship over an unpopular opinion. - (Downix (talk) 00:39, 17 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
        • Holodomor denial is in no manner mainstream. But, for example, we have an article on David Irving despite the similar fringeness of his opinions. You need to show noteworthiness - David Gerard (talk) 10:41, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Since Furr is not part of Holodomor denial that I have read so far (only having read two of his books so far), it appears to be yet another false narrative being introduced in order to further muddy the water. You are just arbitrarily dismissing any references desired in an attempt to delete a page as a form of censorship. (Downix (talk) 06:05, 18 September 2014 (UTC))[reply]
            • A trivial Google search for "grover furr" "holodomor" brings up [11] (Furr in his own words) and [12] (a review of Furr's particular work most celebrated by fans) - David Gerard (talk) 11:15, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Note, Furr does qualify per Wikipedia:Notability. We can verify that yes, he has written several books. Yes, we can verify that these books will not vanish overnight. Yes, we can verify that these books have been cited by multiple secondary sources. Yes, we can verify that he has been criticized by others. Now, per Notability, it should have been argued first that perhaps Furr should have been merged in with another wikipedia article before the call to delete. That the entire notability and call for deletion process was bypassed in this articles case, I reiterate that David is not acting in a good faith attempt to maintain the quality standards of wikipedia, and instead this effort is just a form of censorship of an unpopular viewpoint.

  • Keep Coming to this late in the day, it seems that rather than argue on PROF it should be considered solely under GNG, rather in the way that a page exists on, say, David Irving. Individuals who attract impassioned coverage – pro and anti – should be on Wikipedia, by definition, and we exist to represent what is out there, so calling this FRINGE seems to miss the cultural and historical context/value, whatever our personal viewpoints may be. Obviously, careful editing and monitoring become even more important on such pages, but better to see discussions and consensus achieved on Wikipedia than risk claims of censorship and watch information grow off Wikipedia.

  • Comment - I know Grover Furr a bit from joint membership in a historical society. He holds fringe views in the field of Soviet history, views which have made him the target of several conservative commentators in the same field.

I do not think he meets any Special Notability low bar for academics. Carrite (talk) 17:05, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The subject's research has made significant impact in the field of Ophthalmology. His research articles are published in well recognized Ophthalmic Journals, references are cited in the article.

  • Comment - The specific notability guideline for high school athletes is WP:NHSPHSATH; everyone is reminded that this is one of the rare specific notability guidelines which is intended to supersede the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, and WP:NHSPHSATH is a tougher standard than GNG because of the usually local and often ephemeral nature of high school sports reputations. WP:NHSPHSATH specifically requires "substantial and prolonged coverage that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. Note that the first clause would exclude all school papers and school websites that cover their sports teams and other teams they compete against. The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications. It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability." Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 03:36, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • -Well thing is you never know what could happen once they are done with high school, he might go continue on or as far as we know he could become a doctor instead! It just seems to fall too soon. Now I'm not sure how to handle this to be honest. Wgolf (talk) 03:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's easy, Wgolf. Either the subject satisfies the requirements of WP:NHSPHSATH or he doesn't. If this article get deleted, and this kid is as good as some folks seem to think, the article will get re-created in a year or two. And there's no reason why the article can't be userfied and transferred to user space in the interim. Cheers. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 04:25, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Keeping in mind what Dirtlawyer has explained, a Google search doesn't show the substantial, independent coverage for a prolonged period of time for Ivan Rabb. There are a lot of gHits on him, yes, but those fall under WP:ROUTINE or are unreliable, bloggy-type fanboy/recruiting websites. Jrcla2 (talk) 12:44, 16 September 2014 (UTC) Nominator withdrew after more refs added; striking my vote. Jrcla2 (talk) 12:23, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - Sorting through the recruiting sites and blogs, I do find enough National coverage about Rabb to (barely) meet the HS notability guideline: examples here and here and here. He is a very top recruit and those guys can go either way, but to me he makes it. I wouldn't cry if this were deleted, however and the article clearly needs sources. Rikster2 (talk) 18:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - My thoughts echo those of Rikster2 immediately above. I believe that the demanding standard of WP:NHSPHSATH is satisfied by the quality and depth of the national coverage regarding the subject. I caution everyone participating in this AfD discussion who may see this as an endorsement of articles for every high school athlete who is a big-time college recruit; it's not. Rabb seems to have received strong coverage in the national media so far, and very few other college recruits are going to receive comparable coverage -- especially when Scout.com, Rivals.com, and the like are excluded for determining notability.

  • Speedy keep @Kevin McE: You appear to have a poor understanding of the concept of notability. A notable subject, regardless if one line or 150kb, will always be notable. Yes, the article should have had some content but the solution is to expand, not delete. AFD isn't an expand demand service. That it didn't occur to you that somebody who governed a state of a big country might be notable and the fact that you didn't check to see the wealth of sources is most alarming. If this continues I'll be proposing that you're banned from taking articles to AFD as you're not bothering to assess notability properly beyond short articles.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:00, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not attempting to assess notability: I don't have to. An article can be speedily deleted if it "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". I have chosen AfD rather than SD, but while an article remains in a state that would not keep it immune from SD criteria, I cannot see how it can survive AfD (see WP:DEL-REASON #1. Kevin McE (talk) 14:10, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Kevin McE: If you're going to be involved with AFDs you really have to abide by WP:BEFORE, especially the D section. 85% of our articles are stubs or lacking. The solution in most cases is to expand. If you've generally tried looking in google book/highbeam/newspaper.com etc and can't find anything then when you AFD at least you can claim that you don't think it's notable. Short article most of the time doesn't mean it's not notable, it just means it hasn't been researched properly.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:30, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did not nominate on the basis of shortness, I did so on the basis of failing WP:A7. If you don't think that provides a valid reason for deletion, campaign to have it removed. Kevin McE (talk) 16:49, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It didn't fail WP:A7. For a start it was categorized as Governors of Entre Ríos Province which should immediately twig that it might be notable, not to mention that it had a very constructive "Expand Spanish wikipedia article" tag at the top with clear instructions to translate it. Wikipedia is one big project. The intention of the article creator was to get the article translated from Spanish wikipedia, an article which you couldn't possibly think wasn't notable.♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:51, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep as per the first hit in googling the man: this English language gbook ref which supports the claim that he was governor and tells us a lot more about his public and personal life.

  • Comment It looks to me as if the article has been translated from Azerbaijani, without the translator realising that what quite possibly come across as fairly obvious assertions of notability in Azerbaijan are almost meaningless to an audience from outside the old Soviet bloc. The subject's career up to 1990 was fairly obviously, whatever the official job titles, within the Communist Party's ideological apparatus - and, reading between the lines, it seems to have continued within the post-Soviet Azerbaijani equivalent. His academic position, within the successor of the Azerbaijani Communist Party's main internal training institution, is probably important to his current activities but its seniority (or lack of it) probably isn't - his "scientific" (in the sense of the German Wissenschaft) writings seem to be on the history and culture of Azerbaijan, and I would guess that his current overt role is as a public intellectual, with much of the writing being aimed generally at educated readers rather than specifically at academic ones, and with many of those readers assuming that it reflects government views. As such, he may quite likely be notable within Azerbaijan - but this can probably only be established from sources in Azerbaijani. PWilkinson (talk) 10:28, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Respectfully disagree with nomination for deletion. As stated in WP:ADMASQ, "a differentiation should be made between spam articles and legitimate articles about commercial entities." This article is not Advertising because it is not "used to encourage, persuade, or manipulate an audience...to take or continue to take some action." The article contains no calls to action or attempts to persuade the reader that the company is better or worse than its competitors. The article is written from a neutral point of view, and serves as a summarized information culled from reliable source. This company is equally as significant as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match.com , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchmaker.com ,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemistry.com or many other online dating site lists.

  • I don’t think this page of ChnLove should be deleted for the following reasons:

1.This page is not for promotion because it only illustrates the basic information about this website (Chnlove) in an objective manner instead of giving the exaggeration of the achievements of a company. It has verifiable resources. Also, it’s not existing to persuade readers to do something irrationally. It doesn’t try to do any harm to readers.

2.The article is not an advertisement. Referring to Template:Advert wikipedia advert template, the advert tag is for those articles directly trying to sell products to readers, and if an article is simply showing a company’s material from an overall positive perspective, it cannot be tagged as advertisement. This page is for the purpose to help build a useful page for the people who may want to have some knowledge of ChnLove. In all, the page is merely concerned with providing information coming from authoritative sources.

  • Keep - The Online Personals Watch is reliable independent source with verifiability.

1 First, the site Online Personal Watch is not a site purporting to rank international dating sites. It is the dating industry news and commentary for the Dating Industry launched by industry analyst and consultant Mark Brooks. The following are the sources: http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/online-personals-watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUDgRDw1dWo; http://www.onlinedatingmagazine.com/datingoffice09/markbrooks.html

2 The site Online Personal Watch and Mark Brooks have received a lot of authoritative coverage since its establishment. It has been mentioned in sites yahoo.news, usatoday, marketwatch, washingtonpost, nypost

3 The above are just a few examples. You can find more on this page http://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/news/in-the-press.html

Online Personal Watch is not a site purporting to rank international dating sites. Who can deny its reliability or Verifiability? This source of the ChnLove page meets the wikipedia norm WP:V and WP:RS Cracy111 (talk) 03:32, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - ChnLove is notable with substantive coverage in reliable sources. The page meets the Wikipedia's Wikipedia:Notability and WP:NRV. You can find some reference and evidence to ChnLove here:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11306500 --- New Zealand Herald, a daily newspaper published in Auckland, New Zealandwith the largest newspaper circulation of any in the country

http://ca.shine.yahoo.com/-150-million-dowry-for-chinese-businessman%E2%80%99s-daughter-204344553.html --- a site launched by Yahoo in 2008

http://dating.about.com/u/reviews/asiandating/asianLUR/Jericho-s-chnlove-Review.htm


The site is notable enough to have a page on wikipedia just like many other dating sites on this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_online_dating_websites. It needs development rather than deletion. Sorry to post twice and I don't mean to add "Keep" votes. They are just two different points.Cracy111 (talk) 04:16, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. When I searched Chnlove, I found this page. In my opinion, it should stay. I know the site Online personals watch mentioned by Cracy111. Online Personals Watch is a respected source of information in the dating industry. Alexa is a California-based subsidiary company of Amazon.com which provides commercial web traffic data and is visited by over 8.8 million people monthly: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/alexa.com. They are certainly reliable sources for establishing notability. Moreover, the page is about the subject ChnLove and it is useful to add a link to the official website. So visitors can learn more about Chnlove after reading this wikipedia page.

  • Keep - Solid !vote for keeping this article based on significant coverage of the subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources per the general notability guidelines of WP:GNG. I would like to compliment Muboshgu: that's what significant coverage is supposed to look like in a GNG discussion. Several solid feature articles about the subject in mainstream news and sports publications -- not stats sites, not recruiting sites, not draft prospects sites, not random one and two-sentence mentions, not WP:ROUTINE post-game coverage that mentions the subject's game performance or even quotes the subject, not obscure minor league sports sites. I would also like to endorse the comments of Cbl62 above: GNG is an objective standard based on the quality and depth of media coverage, not based on the MLB prospects of the athlete. If significant coverage is there, the subject is notable for Wikipedia purposes. If the coverage is marginal, other factors including common sense can (and arguably should) come into play.

Article is inaccurate, which could be corrected, but in my opinion it also fails WP:Notability. Subject is a combination of a non-notable in-universe location and a non-notable event. Richard Yin (talk) 16:12, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To be more precise, Shurima refers to an in-universe location whose history is part of the story behind the event in question. The article's apparent subject, the game mode Ascension, is an event lasting two weeks: [29]. --Richard Yin (talk) 16:14, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rob Ford mayoral campaign, 2014[edit]

Rob Ford mayoral campaign, 2014 (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 arguments given at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karen Stintz mayoral campaign, 2014 and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Soknacki mayoral campaign, 2014, I propose that Rob Ford's campaign article also be deleted. With Ford out of the race, there is little else to add to this article, and what's here is already included in Ford's bio or repeated in the other campaign articles, or should be merged to Toronto mayoral election, 2014. Ivanvector (talk) 15:20, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – He was clearly a notable candidate. Kingjeff (talk) 16:59, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody's proposing that the main article about Rob Ford himself be deleted. But his campaign does not need a separate article from the one on him as an individual — no mayoral candidate in any city on earth, even much larger ones than Toronto, has ever qualified for this treatment before, and Toronto's current election is not the place to create a new precedent for this approach. By all means, the relevant content can be added to Rob Ford and Toronto mayoral election, 2014 — but we don't need an BLP about him and a separate article about his campaign.

  • Delete - he is clearly a notable candidate, but that doesn't make each of his campaigns notable. There is nothing here that can't be covered in his biography, mostly because the campaign doesn't need to be covered in this level of detail. Wikipedia is not a newspaper that needs to cover every stump speech or campaign event of every mayoral race of every candidate in the world. This is Pokemon-esque fan-cruft. St★lwart111 03:01, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that not all of campaigns are notable. I don't believe his campaigns as city councillor are notable. They don't meet WP:GNG. However, his campaigns for mayor do meet the requirements. Kingjeff (talk) 03:29, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly disagree. St★lwart111 03:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – Ivanvector, the article has very few edits over the last few months. Therefore, the amount that can be added can be quite significant. Kingjeff (talk) 03:34, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article already covers a range of pointless minutiae including (seemingly) every minor policy announcement or opinion Ford ever muttered while on the campaign trail. It's a coat-rack for campaign trivia and we shouldn't be adding more. Every local council/mayoral campaign is covered in local media for local constituents. The only difference here is that Ford's alleged crack smoking means that this gets a line or two in national or international media. But the substance of the campaign (the substance of the article) is almost entirely local, sourced to local news sources. St★lwart111 03:59, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I noted in both the Karen Stintz and David Soknacki discussions, a separate spinoff article about an individual candidate's campaign in a municipal election is not the kind of thing we need on Wikipedia. While we've allowed this type of thing for presidential campaigns in the United States, there has never been any consensus to extend that to municipal offices in any country. Bill de Blasio doesn't have one of these, Rahm Emanuel doesn't have one of these, Eric Garcetti doesn't have one of these, Boris Johnson doesn't have one of these, Klaus Wowereit doesn't have one of these, Bertrand Delanoë doesn't have one of these — why would Toronto warrant separate articles about each individual mayoral candidate's individual campaign if New York City and Chicago and Los Angeles and London and Berlin and Paris don't? Any content that's worth keeping should be merged directly into Rob Ford and/or Toronto mayoral election, 2014, but this article should be deleted. And that still goes for Olivia Chow mayoral campaign, 2014 and John Tory mayoral campaign, 2014, too — the fact that their campaigns are still active as of today still doesn't justify spinning off a triple layer of municipal election articles. Bearcat (talk) 06:33, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unnecessary level of detail for a municipal election campaign. Should be briefly covered in the election article in a "Campaign" section (which is currently missing) and the article about Ford himself. Number 57 14:47, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete needless content fork and urge people to go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Individual Toronto mayoral campaigns and weigh in on the remaining two mayoral campaign articles. Downwoody (talk) 22:13, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete We've never had individiual articles for individuals who actually do run for mayor in local elections - let alone those that consider running but drop out. This article was massively out of date, and had barely been touched for months, even before this wife-beating racist dropped out of the campaign. There is plenty of space in the somewhat meagre Toronto mayoral election, 2014 to add information about the campaigns of the leading candidates. Nfitz (talk) 19:49, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The incoherence derives from the fact this is a not very good translation from German Wikipedia, and it was also placed at an incorrect title. This article translates all but the first sentence of de:Schütte-Lanz G.I-V, and is about a whole series of aircraft designs, 1 through 5. The German article provides a further reference documenting the notability of the topic. Unfortunately for context, we also lack an article in English on the company: Schütte-Lanz redirects to List of Schütte-Lanz airships, but the German de:Schütte-Lanz has a table of the company's airplane/aeroplane designs (Flugzeuge), from which it can be seen that G.I was built but the others in the G series remained on the drawing board; this is the territory covered by this article. If kept as I hope it will be, the article should be moved and given a clear introduction, in addition to having the translation touched up and additional links provided for information. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:12, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and move Schütte-Lanz G.I, as very well-explaine dby Yngvadottir. A {{trout}} (again) to Pete for not paying attention to what the article actually says, as well as implying that "not built = non-notable" (which is entirely not the case). - The Bushranger One ping only 20:02, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
TROUT firmly rejected. All that I say in the nomination is correct. Most of the info is already incorporated in Schütte-Lanz G.I, so why have a very poorly written article on a non-existent subject with information already in another article.--Petebutt (talk) 13:38, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Just needs tidying and expansion. A post at WT:AIR would be a first stop for assistance, AfD is a last resort. We have many articles on aircraft design projects that did not materialise, Hawker Siddeley HS.141 is an example. I can help with German translations and creating an article on the Schütte-Lanz company, what is there is a true translation, just not using optimum grammar.

  • Comment Lede is almost, if not exactly, copied from Ganesha Chaturthi, which is so unrelated at first sight an A7 might be justified.

Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav means the public celebration of Ganesha Chaturthi. And Mandal means group. Ramnagar is a locality somewhere in Mumbai. So its the group of Ramnagar for celebrating Ganesha Chaturthi. In Maharashtra state, especially in western parts of it, such various small small groups are formed in localities; they set up a temporary pandal for worshipping the Ganesha during the 10-11 days festival. There is nothing notable about each of these groups in individual. Although there are some groups which are notable and one of them is Lalbaugcha Raja. Five more mandals that I would call notable are mentioned in the article Culture of Pune and they don't necessarily warrant separate articles either. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 12:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to meet WP:NOTABILITY. This was prodded, but removed as editor said there seem to be sources in Korean. I found an external link in the German-language article (which just confirms its existence, not its notability). The French-language version has only a dead link as a reference.

  • Strong keep. This is the first of a particular coaster type in a country. It is a major coaster that is not mass-produced. The article already has a reliable, independent source in RCDB.com. To find the other articles on the coaster you actually have to do a Google search using Korean characters (파에톤 "롤러 코스터"). Chrome's auto-translate tool is particularly crappy with Korean, so I can't make much use of these sources, but I imagine that an editor who was more familiar with Korean would be able to put them to good use. Here is a selection of examples that seem to be from independent (and, as best as I can tell, reliable) sources: [30], [31]. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:42, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

no reliable sources, no verifiability Mwinog2777 (talk) 22:28, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

His entire history and the history of his family cannot be verified. All references are to a book out of print from 1952 or to his own memoir. NO reliable references are listed. This article's history does not meet any Wikipedia guidelines. In addition I would question whether or not he could be considered notable enough to have a Wikipedia page based upon his books.Mwinog2777 (talk) 22:43, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Some things can be verified (or at least sourced). According to The Milwaukee Sentinel, his father was (or at least claimed to be) a captain of the Swiss Guard,[32] and he is a doctor who has published books and articles, though an example of the latter isn't particularly earthshattering ("Cabin Location and the Likelihood of Motion Sickness in Cruise Ship Passengers"). However, the most significant verifiable thing about him is that he was stripped of his Utah medical license for prescribing controlled substances.[33] All in all, that doesn't satisfy either WP:BIO or WP:GNG.

    • Comment: My initial reasons for deletion included lack of citations, use of primary sources, style and closeness of writer to subject. If kept in because of notability the article should be totally rewritten by an independent editor, using only verified, non-primary information. Short of that it should be deleted because of above problems. If all that is required to be notable is a couple of scientific articles with a certain number of citations, OK, but whole article should be independently written to meet Wiki criteria. Otherwise, it is an inadequate encyclopedic entry.Mwinog2777 (talk) 16:30, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't establish that she meets WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. This has been tagged for notability for over six years. The LA Times ref is really about her notable husband. It all seems to fall on whether a book she apparently co-wrote, Sexual Secrets is a notable book, and if so, whether her co-writing it counts; unclear if her main contribution was illustrations, and if so how that counts. If all that works out, she might meet WP:AUTHOR #3: The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

No evidence of notability - I see a press release, an interview with Naik, but a search turned up nothing that discussed it in any depth. I tried to redirect but was reverted. Dougweller (talk) 18:26, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

no Disagree I don't agree with it. From the past 15 years to till now, IRF has successfully organized more than 500 Islamic confererences as well as with The Oxford Union in 2011. At present, it is one of the top three Islam preaching organizations ranked by middle east in the world. Hence, undoughtedly it has the required notablity to remain in the Wikipedia encyclopedia.

If by 'disagree' you mean "Keep", which I presume you do, you can only say this once. What we normally do is 'comment' - eg *Comment and then what we want to say. Dougweller (talk) 08:22, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I was waiting to see if anyone could find sources discussing this organisation in depth before commenting again. I've looked at all of the ones added by Sharif uddin - none of them actually discuss the Foundation. They mention it briefly, or discuss a conference held by the Foundation, but they do not actually discuss the Foundation. Dougweller (talk) 08:26, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is mentioned in the link above that, "The Islamic Research Foundation (IRF) founded by Dr Zakir Naik runs popular schools and supports the development of the Peace TV network. More than 500 employees work for the research foundation. His future plans include opening a new school in Dubai by 2015 with an expected capacity for 2,500 students."(see 18th section of the article) I think, this is a better discussion about the foundation.

  • Keep This may have been a fad lasting only a few months, but it was not a single event. I see significant coverage about it from important, national-level sources in the US (Los Angeles Times, Today) and the UK (The Telegraph). That's enough for notability IMO, and notability is not temporary. Right now the references are not cited in proper format; if the article is kept I will fix that. --MelanieN (talk) 01:13, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Undecided, possibly leaning towards keep. Many if not most of the references cited in this article do not make any mention of Daren Metropoulos, which is problematic. The few sources that do mention him by name are this sort: [37] It seems to me that if we cannot locate sufficient sources now, there is a likelihood this Wikipedia article may return in the future. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 21:22, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not notable in his own right. The claims for personal significance of his executive role are unsupported by third party references. The bulk of the article is about a company his family owns, not him personally. Articles such as that just cited above show nothing more than that his father gives him moeny to buy an expensive house. It is of course possible that he may become notable in the future, and that would be the time for an article. DGG ( talk ) 04:17, 16 September 2014 (UTC).[reply]

  • Keep - Notable college gymnastics coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide gymnastics program; the subject was also a two-time NCAA individual national champion as an undergraduate. I have added several footnotes to the article to show significant coverage of the subject in multiple, independent, reliable sources per the general notability guidelines of WP:GNG. For editors who may be unfamiliar with the subject, or American college gymnastics generally, the Alabama Crimson Tide gymnastics program is one of the three or four highest-profile college programs in the country (together with the teams from UCLA, the University of Georgia and the University of Florida).

There is a dearth of reliable sources that meet the intent of WP:RS and the significant coverage aspect of WP:SIGCOV, many are dead links and/ or awfully bloggy. I admit I didn't try to put these dead links in the "wayback machine". Allow me to ask you, do you think multiple good sources can be cobbled together for this person? The article reads like a resume, and that supported my agreement with the nom's rationale... Roberticus talk 03:22, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't claim to know whether the sources are adequate, or even near adequate. What I am certain of is that a claim that this article has no sources or no references either is false or extends the meaning of "no" far beyond anything to which I'm accustomed. But let's make a start by looking at the ostensible sources that I listed above. (I've lazily retained the titles provided in the Wikipedia article.)

The series "Mayfair squatters" shows young female squatters (we're told), dressed either attractively or not at all, lounging around what's said to be a monstrously expensive house. This will have some appeal to those who simply enjoy T&A, and plenty of appeal to the curtain-twitching readers of the Daily Mail, Evening Standard, and other tabloids. Not surprising that searching for our man's name together with "Mayfair squatters" brings quite a lot of hits. Sorry, I'm not motivated to investigate their quality, but I'd object to any claim that they don't exist. -- Hoary (talk) 14:19, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The author of a book on the NYT bestseller list is notable, and ditto for a book made into a significant film. For one book, there's sometimes a question of whether the article should be on the author or the book, but with more than one work, it's the author. Clearly and unabiguously meets WP:CREATIVE.

Despite it's ten-year tenure, this academic doesn't appear to meet PROF C1 [38], nor been referenced to third-party sources, nor are there other direct claims of notability under WP:ACADEMIC. It's possible that I've missed some reviews, however, that would demonstrate notability under WP:AUTHOR. Also note that the article is largely about one of this books, and it is possible that it would make sense, if this is kept, to refactor it to an article on the book with a redirect. --j⚛e deckertalk 15:54, 5 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A major issue is the many false positives caused by "Sri Rama Navami" being a springtime festival in India, celebrated for at least 108 years. So we look further. Yes, a film by this planned title received initial coverage in 2008 when NTR Jr. was signed,[39] but I have found no evidence that filming ever began. Perhaps they eventually used a different title. But THIS article fails WP:NF. Schmidt, Michael Q. 09:58, 3 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentI looked up one of the names on the IMDB (I think it was the director) who had a film in 2008 so I decided to see if it could be the same film with a different title, but I noticed that it looked different with who was in it so I figured it couldn't of been it.

  • Delete - While it is always helpful in these sorts of discussions involving a subject based in a foreign country to have an editor who speaks the local language help look for sources, in this case it definitely looks like the subject does not pass the GNG. I'm not even sure he would be a suitable redirect to the company, should that article be created.--Yaksar (let's chat) 04:27, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Don't get why it should be deleted based on local editors votes, where are they and what is local? I've just come here from Biomedicine Oxford Conference (BigDataMed - Oxford), where the subject gave the talk. It makes sense to join his personal page with the company page but he is well-known in professional community and not only by ventures projects. By the way, the subject also participates in the biggest Pharma conference - MipTec in Basel as a partner, but somehow for many pharma managers wikipages exist without such discussions. --adyod 15:45, 18 September 2014 (GMT+2)
I didn't mean local !votes should count for more, just that it would be helpful to know that there aren't any Hong Kong based sources that are not in English. Although considering that the company works primarily in English this shouldn't be a huge issue. But while your personal anecdote might help, it needs to be backed up with some sort of independent and reliable source that gives substantial coverage of the subject.--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:02, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just noticed this is only your third edit to Wikipedia -- I recommend checking out WP:GNG to see what we mean when discussing notability and the sourcing it requires.--Yaksar (let's chat) 14:05, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. True, i'm not wikipedia editor, i'm scientist and came here after the conference while i googled the subject. Right now I also google "Dmitry Kaminskiy" + "Deep Knowledge Ventures" to prove the notability. The topic covered in english, spanish, portuguese, german, french, poland, russian, mandarin, japanese, arabic and so on in different news and articles. --adyod 16:11, 18 September 2014 (GMT+2)

Hi Edcolins. I realize I might have a WP:COI, but as you can see on this article's history page and my talk page, Grand'mere Eugene has been a great collaborator and took the lead on starting the draft and moving it to the article space so we could avoid any issues with WP:COI.
There were additional sources that weren't used that I think establishes breath of coverage for notability as outlined by WP:CORP. Some external links are: [41], [42], [43], [44], and [45] as well as the references already cited in the article.
I'd welcome any feedback you have if more proof of notability is needed. --EchoSpark (talk) 18:35, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi EchoSpark, thanks for your comment. In my opinion, the additional references you provided do not establish that the company is notable per WP:CORP.
  • The first one (authored by the Director of "Content Marketing", Content Boost, TMCnet, which stands for "Technology Marketing Corporation") does not seem to be independent from the subject. From WP:CORP: "An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources."
  • Each of the IAM, WIPO and DC Dispatch reference contains a mere passing reference to Patexia.
  • Finally, the YTN TV video is not independent from the subject, as it appears to have been sponsored by Patexia itself (notably considering the "Patexia" tag in the upper right-hand corner of the video).
--Edcolins (talk) 19:49, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Edcolins. That's great feedback, thanks for clarifying. Let me rephrase to address your concerns.
The articles with Rooozafarin (published in 2014) [46], Techdirt [47], Luigi Benetton [48], and Intellogist [49] talk about Patexia in depth. The sources listed above, I agree, do make passing references, but they also establish a timeline for Patexia within 2014. Together, I believe both sets of sources help tie the detailed independent coverage of Patexia from 2011-2013 with more recent mentions from 2014 as required by WP:CORP: "If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability."
Finally, I would disagree that the YTN TV video is not independent from the subject. As the YTN TV article establishes, it's a 24-hour cable news network. There is obviously some form of collaboration between YTN and Patexia, but I think one can expect that given the video footage at Patexia's office and interviews with their employees. However, I don't think collaboration equates sponsorship. To help support my position, here's a listing of the documentary on YTN's website [50] and here is the same video on a YouTube channel where YTN Science has posted all their videos [51].
I think that combined, the sources point to Patexia's notability. You have an amazing resume of work on Wikipedia articles relating to patents and patent offices. I'm sure you've also discovered that anonymity is the rule of thumb in the industry. I don't think it means the standards need to be lowered for this article, but I think there's room to allow for understanding why a company of Patexia's purported impact doesn't seem to have a proportional amount of sources as a company in a more consumer-facing industry, something I think the WP:WikiProject Companies supports where mid-importance companies "may be national companies which mainly function in the background and aren't commonly known outside of financial circles."
I hope that addresses your concerns and I look forward to your feedback.--EchoSpark (talk) 22:34, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your additional comments. However, I am still not convinced that the company is notable, per WP:CORP. I should also add that comments such as "I'm sure you've also discovered that anonymity is the rule of thumb in the industry" are generally considered inappropriate on Wikipedia per WP:FOC. See also Don't push (the second paragraph especially). You may wish to ask for help here. --Edcolins (talk) 20:42, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that feedback and for being patient with me. I'll keep that in mind with my feedback on Wikipedia. I'll also give the WP:RESCUE a closer look to help improve my edits. Thanks again!--EchoSpark (talk) 22:06, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Fails WP:CORP for lack of significant coverage from independent reliable sources. The article has one Reliable Source reference (Bloomberg Businessweek), but it is not about Patexia except for a passing mention. I couldn't find any additional sources in a search. --MelanieN (talk) 03:56, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • With a vested interest as the article's creator, I have little to add to EchoSpark's comments above. I tried to be vigilant in editing to maintain NPOV, but I also had some concerns for the subject's notability. I understand the evaluation that some of the references only mention Patexia in passing, or may not be reliable/independent enough. However, in reviewing the sources today I found that the Luigi Benetton article was originally published in a LexisNexis journal, The Lawyers Weekly - In-house Counsel. In my estimation, since that publication has an editorial board, it is a more reliable source than the website previously referenced. I made the revision to that citation in the Patexia article. Patexia's coverage in this article may not be enough to meet notability standards, but I thought that information worth your consideration. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 05:55, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I prodded this with the following rationale

A search online reveals that there are lots of sites offering a tool that estimates social security benefits, or superannuation, or other forms of retirement savings, not just the one from the US Social Security site. But there are none that describe such tools in a way that would allow a suitable WP article to be written.

The prod was declined on the grounds that it allegedly "needs expansion". However, such expansion is impossible because there are no substantial reliable sources that describe this topic. I checked google web, scholar, books and news and came up empty-handed. Finding examples of these online tools themselves are not sufficient. Reyk YO! 03:08, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
