This manga series has not received any significant coverage by reliable third-party sources that can be found. As such, it fails WP:NOTE and WP:BK. Even the direct-to-video film that was released lacks any coverage by reliable sources and fails WP:FILM. The "keep" comments in the two previous AfDs have all revolve around inheritance of notability from the manga's creator or its publisher. A Google search for potential sources have turned up nothing but mirrors of this article, illegal scanlations, or retailers.[1][2]Farix (t | c) 23:21, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The only thing I can see here are release dates, and no additional sources have been found. I thought about merging or redirecting this but the potential targets already have the release dates. Per WP:INHERITED the manga's author/publisher can not be a factor here. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 02:01, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I do have to kind of echo some of the comments at the prior AfD in that having an OVA is a sign of notability in and of itself, especially given the time period it was released. Animation of any kind was pretty expensive to make and that this had an OVA made almost 10 years after its initial release should support some notability itself. What I mean by this is that we should take into account that this was made prior to the advent of computer animation, which made it cheaper and easier to animate things. Prior to that it was extremely unlikely that anything other than the most popular series would gain an animated adaptation of any type and that this had an adaptation so long after its initial release is kind of a show of notability and it also implies that there should be coverage out there, so I would sort of hesitate in saying that it's completely non-notable. I'll try to get WP:ANIME in on this since they should have some people fluent in Japanese that can look for sources. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:12, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not entirely saying that we should keep this only because there's an OVA, just that this definitely gives off the impression that this is notable and that there are likely sources out there. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The original story was 6 chapters long, which is really difficult to give it the benefit of the doubt with notability. I have to disagree with the comment about animation costs, it was an OVA which means it's animation quality (and thus it's expense) will be budgeted against expected sales (and with japanese anime vhs prices of the day they would be selling at very high prices). For a title that was not associated with an already acknowledged success it's budget would have been quite low. Not all OVA's were big budget or ways to get extra money out of established series. After finding no mention of the OVA under t's own name in the Anime Encyclopaedia, I had to dig a bit deeper. The OVA was actually released under the Margaret label as one part of a several video series. It's adaption into anime is more to do with it being a compact contained story that happened to be published in the same magazine as five other compact contained story and sold on its branding rather than individual content. I can't see how any of it can be notable. SephyTheThird (talk) 08:07, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
An OVA adaptation is not an indicator of notability, especially given that the adaptation was produced in the 90s when just about anything was animated. This is why that era is well know for its glut of bad OVAs. Also, we judge notability primarily on coverage by third-party reliable sources and a few other factors listed in the subject specific notability guidelines (non-notable adaptations not being one of them). This article has been tag for lacking such for years. The only reason this article survived the previous AfDs was because of claims that it was "inherently notable". —Farix (t | c) 12:38, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non notable minor work. SephyTheThird (talk) 08:07, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I cant find any results on three search engines (Google, Yahoo!, Bing) that give weight to this page's individual notability. However, since it is an '80's manga and a '90's (VHS) OVA, there might be some actual sources in printed magazine or newspaper form. However since I don't have access to any of those I can't provide any more input. At any rate, let this be the last time this page is AfDed. —KirtZMessage 14:45, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adams only claim to fame is serving as mayor of Norwalk, Connecticut. This is a city of neither sufficient size nor of sufficient regional significance for the mayor to be default notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:34, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep article states "He was a prominent hat manufacturer." Not many people manufacture prominent hats, so that makes him notable. All the best: Rich Farmbrough21:55, 13 February 2015 (UTC).
  • Keep a biography in American Hatter and an obituary in a New York City newspaper denote notability. Was he a prominent hat manufacturer like the ones worn by Pharrell Williams. Or was he a prominent hat manufacturer like John Batterson Stetson. Clearly one has notability and the other must be deleted as as soon as possible. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 22:15, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep -- I took a lot of time and effort doing research to cover what I feel is my area of responsibility (i.e. the history of Norwalk, Connecticut). The city of Norwalk is of a sufficient size that its mayors would qualify as notable. Is it the intention of this proposer to also propose all the numerous others? That is a lot of time and effort wasted, and history lost for a fairly substantially sized city. I was a significant contributor for many years, but I really am very discouraged by what Wikipedia has become. Greg Bard 205.172.173.250 (talk) 18:03, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Mayor of Norwalk, but most sources are held in local library. I'll try to dig up some more stuff with my newspaper access. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Historical figure who was elected mayor of Norwalk, CT and the subject of an obit in the illustrious New York Tribune (doubtlessly among other publications). WP:POLITICIAN is meant as a high bar to keep out candidate spam, not as a defacto ban on all but a comparative handful of biographies of elected officials. Carrite (talk) 12:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Mayor of a city that only has a population of 87,000 now (which is far from being big enough to make its mayor inherently notable), let alone when he was mayor. No sources beyond the basics. The "obituary" in the New York Tribune is actually little more than an announcement of his death. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:24, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete while I found SOME references, I wouldn't call it significant coverage, so it fails WP:GNG LADY LOTUSTALK 13:59, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This article is currenly focused on a play, for which I could find very little in the way of independent sourcing. There's better evidence of notability for the book by Robin Klein on which the play is based. Kirkus gave it a starred review. ("This is an extraordinary book in honestly depicting the fear and cruel taunts that are common and perhaps natural in children who confront people who are different before they understand their humanity.") [3] A GScholar search indicates that the book is discussed (or at least mentioned) in works about disabilities or literacy such as [4][5][6][7][8](the last does mention the play). The National Library of New Zealand has it on a list of "classics" of "young fiction". The Times Educational Supplement Teaching Resources section has a literature unit for the book. [9] And the book is listed in the KOALA (Kids Own Australian Literature Awards) Hall of Fame. [10] I suggest refocusing this article on the book and keeping it. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:54, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. As Arxiloxos notes, the article can be refocused to be also about the book. And, the play has been performed multiple times, as documented at AusStage. And event items there link to info on reviews published:
I don't have access to the reviews, but this seems to be significant coverage.
WorldCat shows the play is held by 63 member libraries.
Also, the deletion nomination shows no evidence of performing wp:BEFORE; the nom spends more time/text complaining about removal of the prod, which was by me. It's not "bogus" to point out the apparent purpose of removing infoboxes the nom does not like. The nom was indeed working from this worklist of articles having "direct calls" to infobox template, which included Not in Print (since speedy deleted) another Australian play article. That article included use of {{infobox}}, which is fine IMO, but apparently was the offending flaw; the nom then found way also to Boss of the Pool and to Boy Overboard, created by same editor, both now at AFD. Anyhow, keep. --doncram 03:32, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram: It seems that you need to be reminded that you were warned "not to approach discussions confrontatively [sic]... not to comment on contributors rather than content, and not to assume bad faith."; and that User:Gatoclass similarly told you: ""you are hereby reminded that comments on contributor rather than content may result in the imposition of sanctions". Yet you continue, despite being told otherwise, to falsely assert that I have motives which are alien to me. The nominated article, by the way, uses {{Infobox book}}. Your posting about this nomination at other nominations, and vice versa, also consitutes canvassing, about which you ahev also been previously warned. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:47, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • The reason this page was created as it was, about the play and not the book, was as an excuse for a Currency Press employee to place a link to their shop. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:03, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I assume good faith in that I believe the creator, who has acknowledged association with the publisher of the play, was trying to promote the play, because they believe in the play and in modern Australian play-writing in general. A person interested in an area, an expert perhaps, is a useful contributor to Wikipedia. I doubt they're making a financial fortune from selling plays. :) Anyhow, could you have access to any of the many reviews, to see how much they discuss the play itself? --doncram 15:31, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I don't particularly understand the inside-baseball conflict above, but the sources provided so far make me unable to support any outcome but retention in some form. Arxiloxos's sources indicate the book, if not the play, is unquestionably notable. If the play is not, then it can still be discussed within the context of adaptations. If the play is notable (as the offline reviews may or may not indicate), then the article can address both topics until/unless they are capable of being spun off and disambiguated. But I don't see any outcome that leads to deletion of content at this title, nor any reason to contemplate a TNT-style purge of the article history.

Hmm, that seems unfortunate, to redirect what was an article about an Australian play by Patricia Cornelius, to a list-section within a page about the author of the same-named book. Seems better to add coverage about the book and its author, and have the topic be the work and its adaptations.

Zimmer's closest claim to notability is that she is mayor of Hoboken, New Jersey, a city neither of sufficient size nor of enough regional significance to make the mayor notable. Beyond that there is the truly odd incident of Bridgeslowdown gate, however that would not rise above one event and is not enough to make Zimmer notable.

  • Keep the article meets the general notability guideline. I am not sure what the population size has to do with notability. This should be administratively closed. The nominator seems to have some grudge against the city and is nominating about 8 mayors of the city for deletion saying the city is too small for inclusion in Wikipedia despite the references in reliable sources. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:25, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Roberts' only claim thatcomes close to notability is serving as mayor of Hoboken. This is a city lacking the regional significance or population to grant mayors automatic notability. The sources are largely local in nature. Beyond this, the neutrality of this article has been in dispute since 2011 with no progress on the matter, showing why such articles should not be kept.

Consensus at WP:PHARM and WP:CHEMS is that chemical compounds must meet the general notability guideline to be included in Wikipedia. This is not a notable chemical compound. Flubromazolam is not a pharmaceutical drug, but rather a designer drug only sold online. The made-up name "Flubromazolam" is intended to sound like the name of a benzodiazepine pharmaceutical, but it is only used in online recreational drug forums - it is not used in the scientific literature, patent literature, Google Scholar, etc. The first reference is a patent that mentions this chemical compound, but only as one in a large number of other similar compounds. There is nothing that distinguishes this one from the many other non-notable ones mentioned. There are no reliable sources (or more specifically WP:MEDRS-compliant sources) to support the article content. Designer drugs certainly can become notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, but this one is not ... at least not yet. Per WP:N, WP:V, WP:OR, and WP:SYNTH this page should be deleted. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:21, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Vezetti's closest claim to notability is serving as mayor of Hoboken. Hoboken is a city of neither substantial enough size nor regional enough importance to make the mayor of it notable. This article also illustrates why we have this rule. The talk of Vezzetti being known for wearing mismatching shoes, and entire lack of any discussion of his policies as mayor, shows the draw backs of including articles on minor people with only local coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the article meets the general notability guideline. It is a stub and can easily be filled with information from his obituary published in both The New York Times and was reprinted in the Los Angeles Times. That the author writes about "wearing mismatching shoes" is a red herring. That two national newspapers chose to write about him out of the thousands of people that died that day, is was makes him notable. Not the size of the population of the city he was mayor of, or his sartorial habits. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:52, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The reason this article was created seems to be the result of a mass creation of articles on mayors of Hoboken, New Jersey. Hoboken is not a large enough or regionally important enough city to justify articles on mayors for holding that position.

  • I am inclined to think that being a mayor, circuit judge and lieutenant colonel of militia, when taken together, is sufficient for a person who died about 1883. I suspect that BIO was framed with BLPs in mind, so I have doubts about its applicability. The sources are about "Frederick W Bohnstedt". He does not need to be their only, or even primary, subject. As he died a long time ago, there might be further coverage in undigitised offline print sources (WP:NRVE). There are many obviously notable figures whose date of death is not even approximately known (see here), so that isn't an argument against notability.

  • Inclined to keep—there are plenty of news sources out there that talk about the group. While many aren't about the group in specific and focus on its efforts, I'm still inclined to keep the article. The argument about the group's budget doesn't convince, as these articles do discuss the group's chapters. It would not be uncommon for a national organization with chapters to have a smaller budget because most of the money involved is handled through the chapters' individual projects. Imzadi 1979  20:02, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    P.S. if this article from the United Arab Emirates is talking about one part of the group's activities, I'm inclined to think the article can be expanded and salvaged. It isn't GA material now, but I don't think it's quite deletion-worthy either. This is about the group, as is this, so I think there is room to expand the article. Imzadi 1979  20:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep – I see that this article was nominated for GA, failed, and then was nominated it for AfD on the same day. That seems kind of strange and not a very good precedent if it puts a damper on GA nominations. Surely we don't want to imply that failure of a GA nomination may lead to AfD.
About the organization itself, it seems notable enough to me, given its national award and status as one of the largest organizations of its kind. The individual lighthouse in the cited source is a National Monument, which automatically qualifies as notable, as opposed to the thousands of merely Historic Places. The source also contains the words "...are to be congratulated. They truly have made a difference." This is the main criterion we are urged to consider in WP:ORGSIG, namely "whether they have had any significant or demonstrable effects". According to the source, they have. WP:ORGSIG also says "Arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations or their products." So I don't think the size of their budget should be a consideration. – Margin1522 (talk) 21:42, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I know I'm renominating immediately after a non-consensus close, but there is an aspect not considered there. The article's first version includes the line "taken from attorney Jacob Stein's treatise on tax planning, with his permission." and the overwhelming proportion of the content from that version remains. Though permission is asserted, no free copyright license was ever given, and permission to use win a wikipedia article by itself is not enough, because our material must also be reusable, and nothing less than CC-BY-SA is adequate. Tho the original work is not available to me, and there are several possible books of his, I think the likelihood of copyvio is so great that it must be deleted. This was in fact an exercise at self-promotion, and the article on the author was deleted on that basis here. The topic is notable, but the only way to free it from copyvio is to delete it and start over. DGG ( talk ) 17:02, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep or redirect to Trust law or United States trust law. A QPRT, much like a GRAT is a notable topic in US estate tax planning. See, e.g., [17].

  • Comment': I would normally not question a nomination by user:DGG, however as an editor who believes Wikipedia lacks information on Law (lawyers, legal cases, legislation, terminology, etc) I really question the wisdom of this mass removal of content that has been around Wikipedia longer than I have. If the concern is wp:copyright wouldn’t it make more sense to simply post a request at WikProject Law? If the concern is wp:COI then deal with it without deleting the content.

    • Since you have three times now restored the same sort of material I removed from another article, I assume the "mass removal of content" is the removal of Jacob Stein's refspam, copyvios, peacock language ("consult an expert like Jacob Stein" appeared multiple times through the encyclopedia), and otherwise grossly promotional material added by a large number of SPAs. That some of the refs are less promotional than others is certainly the case, however, and if an experienced Wikipedian like yourself wanted to recreate or develop some of the material, citing Stein in the process, I would have no problem assuming good faith that he was determined to be a reliable source. What I don't support is simply restoring it simply because it's good to see refs in an article and they had remained in the article for a long time without being detected. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:13, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • What I meant by mass removal is Jacob Stein and Foreign trust. Ottawahitech (talk) 05:00, 4 February 2015 (UTC) By the way not everyone views SPAs like you do. Ottawahitech (talk) 05:21, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • I see. SPA is a symptom of a particular problem, not the problem itself. It's not that they are SPAs and therefore they made lousy contributions. It's that there is (was) a widespread pattern of very similar or identical kinds of edits, and the fact that these edits were made by SPAs more strongly suggests promotion/socking. The only reason I didn't file an SPI is because one based on years-old edits wouldn't likely get much traction and it's a whole lot of time/work putting one of those together, when I don't even know if he/they will try to do this again. I started to keep track of some of the users/edits/articles in a notepad file which has grown a little unwieldy. Hopefully I'll never have to actually use it. --— Rhododendrites talk \\ 05:43, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree we need much more good material on law, and it is not altogether impossible for an attorney to write it, if they know enough to keep their name out of it. One of the problems, of course, is that is really has to be done separately or with extensive explanation for each major country--at least each major english speaking country, and there are very few people who know enough to do it for more than their own particular legal system. This for example, is US, but unless you already recognize the terminology, you won't find that out in the article, except for a footnote reference to California. And all attorneys's sites and almost all legal textbooks only deal with one systems & usually feel no need to even specify what to them is obvious. DGG ( talk ) 06:48, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @User:Kudpung: It is not enough to just look at the sources in the article. You need to actually look for sources with a search engine (WP:BEFORE). There are about ninety sources that come up immediately in Google Books alone, including entire chapters of a number books such as this one published by the American Bar Association (an unequivocally reliable source). And here is a massive chunk of text in one law book, and extensive discussion in another, published by (unequivocally reliable) CCH. I could go on like this, but I think that will suffice as an illustration. Then, of course, there are hundreds of sources in GScholar, including many entire journal articles on the subject. This topic clearly satisfies GNG easily and by a wide margin. No one else here has disputed that. The only plausible objection to this article is copyright, and so far no one professes to have actually looked at the source suspected to be infringed, which is linked to above.

  • Delete I'm not entirely sure why people are voting keep when the concern is copyvio without first checking to see if it is, in fact, a copyvio, which it appears to be (at least in part). A pdf of the article it was taken from is here. Compare the following quotes:
From the Wikipedia article:

Residence trusts are used to transfer a grantor’s residence out of the grantor’s estate at a low gift tax value. Once the trust is funded with the grantor’s residence, the residence and any future appreciation of the residence are excluded from the grantor’s estate,

From the linked article

QPRTs are used to transfer a settlor's residence out of the settlor's estate at a low gift tax value. Once the trust is funded with the settlor's residence, the residence and any future appreciation of the residence is excluded from settlor's estate.

and again, from the Wikipedia article:

Personal residence trusts (“PRTs”) are irrevocable split interest trusts. (. . . ) the grantor retains the right to live in the house for a number of years, rent free, and then the remainder beneficiaries of the trust become fully vested in their interest.

and from the linked article

The QPRT is a split-interest trust, with the settlor retaining a term-of-years right to live in the residence rent free, with the remainder interest going to the remainder beneficiaries.

Aside from the first couple paragraphs in the intro; most of the rest of the article does not seem to be an obvious copyvio from that source, so it may just be those two sentences. However, as you can see those two sentences are virtually word for word and I'm wondering where else this was taken from? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 20:29, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Article appears to compare difference versions of Texas Instruments graphing calculators. While I think the article was created with moral intentions and not created for commercial purposes, the article lists prices and only mention Texas Instruments products. Prices violate WP:NOTCATALOG and listing only Texas Instruments may suggest that Texas Instruments is the only corporation that makes good graphing calculators, which is an opinion. Furthermore, the lead appears to consist solely of original research. --Mr. Guye (talk) 21:52, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not seeing anything but complaints of fixable problems and a WP:VAGUEWAVE nomination. Obviously the prices could be removed if deemed unencyclopedic, and the scope could be expanded to include other manufacturers if editors decide not to compare the TI models separately (not that keeping this separate suggests in any way any particular opinion of TI calculators, an odd interpretation I think). In other words, I see no reasons given for deletion, just disagreement as to how this has been developed so far. postdlf (talk) 20:30, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Ostrichyearning, While I believe you have the best of intentions, perhaps you might want to brush up on our policies and guidelines before endeavoring further into AFD discussions. While your 185 edits are helpful, we have specific guidelines about what is and is not appropriate for inclusion. From what you wrote and the extreme brevity of your editing history, it does not appear that you are at all familiar with them and you have not addressed the concerns presented. The Dissident Aggressor 18:33, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - it's a pretty piece of ORIGINAL RESEARCH, smartly presented. Unfortunately, analysis of the relative merits and purchasing price of a CATALOGUE of a manufacturer's products isn't the business of Wikipedia. I do hope the author won't be too disappointed and will put his undoubted energies into improving any of the many articles which could benefit from this sort of editing skill. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Since TI has been making graphing calculators for so long, and since they have become an integral part of school curriculum, we should have an article on them. The article could be expanded to be a comparison of graphing calculators in general if that would make it more useful. I used this article today to evaluate the suitability of a different (older) TI calculator than the one taught in school for a particular student. The market does not provide such comparison information across the historical spectrum of products. If citations are needed to subdue the ORIGINAL RESEARCH claims, then we should add citations. The prices are of modest historical interest. -- ke4roh (talk) 19:17, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
With respect, you are missing the point that the encyclopedia is not meant to serve as a comparison website, of prices or otherwise: that's simply not its function. Please see WP:WPNOTCATALOG for a full explanation. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:31, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the reply. When I read WP:NOTCATALOG, I see no prohibition against this article because the occasional prices are not so important to me except as a metric for inflation vs. Moore's law. Should it stay? It looks a lot like ThinkPad T Series#Specifications, for example. I would consider that the information in this article might be included elsewhere, and I agree that it should be properly referenced, but I disagree that it should be deleted. -- ke4roh (talk) 20:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Simply citing NOTCATALOG is at best an incomplete argument, given that product comparison articles are sometimes kept at AFD. So you're going to have to be more specific than that. postdlf (talk) 21:46, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Let's be more explicit:

An article should not include product pricing or availability information unless there is a source and a justified reason for the mention. Encyclopedic significance may be indicated if mainstream media sources (not just product reviews) provide commentary on these details instead of just passing mention. Prices and product availability can vary widely from place to place and over time. Wikipedia is not a price comparison service to compare the prices of competing products, or the prices and availability of a single product from different vendors or retailers.

The prices are of zero historical interest. The Dissident Aggressor 22:53, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's quite possible. What does that have to do with deletion? postdlf (talk) 23:00, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you should stop arguing and read - this thread is a response to ke4roh's comments, not just an excuse to disagree with folks. You asked for more specificity in the responses to Ke4roh. I guess I wasted my time since you seem to have lost the context. But you're an administrator so you must be right. Moving on now. The Dissident Aggressor 22:56, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If thine price column offends thee, edit it out. Problem solved. That's a point I raised above a week ago, to which a rebuttal has not yet been offered notwithstanding more people complaining about the prices as if that were a reason for deleting the whole list. The context is WP:ATD, WP:PRESERVE, and WP:NOTCLEANUP. We do not delete articles for problems that can be fixed by editing. And we assume good faith, as you've been failing to do quite egregiously here judging from your comments and edit summaries. postdlf (talk) 00:18, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I get it - when someone says you're being argumentative, accuse them of something. Weak but probably often effective tactic coming from an admin. However, I'm not one to back down from bullies.
  • The importance pricing was brought up by Ke4roh - I commented on what s/he asserted was its importance and cited policy to back it up not being important. You're the one who suggested removing the pricing. Nobody disagreed except Ke4roh.
  • Again, you've failed to grasp the context of the discussion: When you raised the point, a week ago as you say, about the pricing and nobody offered a rebuttal, it's called tacit agreement. Why are you complaining about it? Are you that hungry for an argument? When nobody objects, WP:SOFIXIT. The Dissident Aggressor 15:17, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm not sure if you've ever been to one of the TI calculators wikipedia pages but as an example TI-83_series. Its much too large and confusing and for some odd reason includes not only TI-83's, but TI-84's too (which would be like including the iPhone 6 on the iPhone 5 page). TI-84 Plus series is if possible worse, a list of infoboxes and some Reddit sourced crap. The TI series need to be broken into more articles and this is a great place to start.

Subject lacks independent notability. It is the topic of blogs, people's homepages, a Facebook page, but no serious art critics or computing publications have, as far as I could establish, discussed the Plan 9 bunny in depth.

I previously redirected to Plan 9 from Bell Labs, which was reverted by Andy Dingley, who reasoned that "Tux has no more independent notability than Glenda". I don't think Tux has ever been up for deletion, which would make it a precedent. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 16:59, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep Notability is not temporary. The coverage of Glenda is trivial in comparison to the coverage of Plan 9 itself, but it's also quite adequate for the level of a mascot.

There is no problem with your deletion here. There was a problem with SD001's speedy deletion nonination using WP:G1 as the article does not meet the definition of Patent Nonsense there. An appropriate speedy deletion criterion would have been WP:A11 as it is an obviously made up concept, the person who wrote it appears to know the person who madeup the term and there is no claim to significance.

WP:TOOSOON. Teams are subject to change prior to next season; deals could also fall apart in the mean time. At the time of this nomination, even the main season article doesn't exist yet. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:54, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

All the deals are confirmed with source and a season by season record is being kept of transfers across Europe. This whole stub was set up in order to remove the transfers from the main team pages. Would be daft to delete as this was the solution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.255.200.134 (talk) 19:29, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm afraid none of that addresses the core concerns here, nor is it relevant to any deletion or keep criteria. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:33, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, yes it does address the core concerns. According to the intro paragraph on WP:TOOSOON, it states that "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, nor is it a collection of unverifiable content. If sources do not exist, it is generally too soon for an article on that topic to be considered." In this article, sources clearly do exist, as indicated by the references. That article is a collection of verifiable content ... and content that is currently or has recently been reported, so I really don't know how it can be deemed WP:TOOSOON if it's being reported by media outlets now? TheMightyPeanut (talk) 10:45, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's TOOSOON because we haven't gotten to this season yet. It may be a collection of verifiable content, but until a player actually joins a club, it is still essentially speculation, because so many things can change in the mean time. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 10:51, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • It doesn't matter that we haven't gotten to the season yet. We've not gotten to the 2019 Rugby World Cup yet and won't for a while, but there are a number of verifiable and already-released facts about the tournament that makes for a valid article. Many things can change there too. Earth can explode and the World Cup might never happen. But valid and verifiable facts pertaining to that can be mentioned and included. And the same for this article. It's not "essentially speculation", transfers should only be included on that page if it is verifiable and from a reliable source. A whole host of players have already signed contracts to join other teams later during 2015. If these contracts have been signed and this has been accurately relayed by reliable sources, then there's no reason why it should not be included in an article. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 11:01, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Apples to oranges. The 2019 Rugby World Cup is a general article on the topic. This is a transfer article (and I should note that the Rugby Union WikiProject is one of a very small number that actually seem to think these pages are valid in the first place) - in case you haven't noticed, the main season article does not exist yet. Explain to me exactly why this page should exist when that one doesn't - and why it should've been created first? And perhaps speculation is not quite the right word... but none of these transfers are guaranteed to happen. Transfer pages should only exist (if they should exist at all, but again, that's another debate entirely) if there are transfers that have actually happened. None of these HAVE happened. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:11, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry, I really don't understand your logic in the first few sentences. This is a general article on the topic of transfers related to the 2015–16 Pro12 competition. Different topics, yes certainly. But the same logic applies to the validity of having these articles. I don't know why the main season doesn't exist yet, maybe the relevant editors haven't gotten around to creating it yet. But if there is valid, verifiable information pertaining to that season, then it can be created. There is valid, verifiable information regarding transfers relating to that season, which means that the transfer articles can be created. I know none of these HAVE happened (but again, the 2019 Rugby World Cup hasn't happened). It's OK to have articles related to something in the future, as long as the facts presented in that article is factual and verifiable. Do me a favour - please have a quick look at this article as an example. That is a press release from South African side the Bulls regarding two of their players joining French clubs later in 2015. That clearly indicates that these transfers will happen, contracts have been signed, etc. In the same way as the 2019 Rugby World Cup possibly not happening due to unforeseen circumstances, these transfers might also not happen. But they have already been reported by a reliable source as fact. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 11:33, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • As for your statement that "the Rugby Union WikiProject is one of a very small number that actually seem to think these pages are valid in the first place". There are actually a very small amount of these pages for Rugby Union. There are significantly more for, say, football. See this search results list, for example. The results are almost entirely football-related results. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 11:42, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're comparing the validity of a general article on a future topic to an article on a small segment of a future topic. That's apples to oranges. Those football transfer articles are generally restricted to just a few leagues, and mostly those where WikiProject Football's most active members aren't editing. There's no reason for this article to exist when the main season one does not, and right now, there's only a limited amount of information that could easily be included in the main season article anyway. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:48, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
This discussion is now getting way off track, to be honest. The bottom line is – WP:TOOSOON basically states that article content (even if related to future events) should be verifiable by reliable sources. This is definitely the case here, as indicated by the references provided. TheMightyPeanut (talk) 13:46, 9 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No sources and any content could easily be merged into the appropriate season articles (but probably won't be, considering almost all of it seems to be original research).

No claim of, nor sign of, meeting our guidelines for software notability. Sources are a posting at the KillerStartups blog announcing its launch (and stating "It doesn’t offer anything exciting or new in sales management so it’s questionable how successful they will be", not exactly a shouting of notability), a review on SmallBizCRM which appears to be a WP:SPS (a blog that had 45 postings in 2014, and none before or since), a posting on the subject's own blog, another copy of the same KillerStartups coverage linked to through the Archive so it looks different, a single paragraph at Gigaom, and a quote from the company's website on a list of APIs. Searches find nothing more significant. Nat Gertler (talk) 15:04, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Agreed on sourcing issues. Gigaom seems like the only reliable source, but SST is not the main topic of the article and it's certainly not enough to meet notability. Jeremiah (talk) 18:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback Nat Gertler and Jeremiah Mountain. The software is widely used, however sources discussing it are few. I really thought Gagaom coverage would make it pass WP:GNG.

The blog is just a copy of material from the simplesalestracking.com website, with a note that he intends to review it at some point. That's pretty much like a press release; we don't count press release reprintings. The two book mentions add up to three sentences total, so neither is significant. --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:31, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There may well be value to such a bundled deletion. However, as the nominator on this one, I do not have time to check out all I'd need to check out and to build it up, and it looks like this individual one is reasonably close to being done.

There is no reason at all to delete this page.

I read that `the only claim to notability for the residential area are the extant WWI buildings’, and yet there is the Oak House, a building close on five hundred years old, linked to an important person in the history of West Bromwich. There is also the genesis of West Bromwich Albion F.C. which had not yet been added.

This page has only been nominated because of our disagreement over Made in America (The Sopranos).

This page is a work in progress, with more detail, sources and referencing to come. If that is a reason for deleting it, then logically all of Wikipedia must be deleted too.

Autobiography of a Russian legal scholar. According to his GScholar profile, he has been cited 101 times (h-index=5). The only claim to notability under WP:ACADEMIC would be that he is editor-in-chief of the Russian Law Journal, but that was deleted after an AFD. No evidence that he meets any of the other criteria of ACADEMIC. No sources showing that he meets WP:GNG. Hence: delete. Randykitty (talk) 10:09, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I could be wrong, but I'm not sure that a GS h-index of 5 doesn't satisfy criteria 1 of WP:PROF in this field. Law is apparently a very low citation field for academics. According to LSE, the average h-index of a (full) law professor (2.8) is the lowest of any of the social sciences, significantly less than the average across all such disciplines (4.9), and far below the number suggested by Hirsch for a (full) professor of physics (18). I am under the impression that we will accept as notable a scientist with a h-index of 20 based on Hirch's suggestion for a "successful scientist". Therefore, assuming the numbers scale linearly (I have no idea whether they do), we would presumably accept a law professor with a h-index of 4 (on the logic of 20÷(18/2.8)~3.1). I appreciate the Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators have a citation threshold 154 for the social sciences, but the level of citation in this field appears to be significantly below the average for the social sciences as a whole, based on average h-indexes. So, all things considered, it isn't clear to me why it is not enough for this individual to have a h-index that is more than 78% above the average for a full professor in his field. It might be helpful if the nominator would explain precisely what level of citation he thinks a Russian law professor should have and why. James500 (talk) 16:08, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let me clarify what I said in the nom. I don't think that an h-index of 5 proves that there is no notability, nor does the citation count of 101 (proving absence of anything is very difficult if not impossible, anyway). You're absolutely right that such counts are generally low in this field. However, what I want to say is that by looking at citation counts/h-index, I don't find any evidence in support of notability. An h-index of 2.8 is ridiculously easy to get (one only has to cite oneself in three papers...). What this all shows is that citations are not very helpful in this field to establish notability. However, if there had been lots of citations, that could have established notability (so I mentioned it as part of WP:BEFORE). Hope this sounds not too muddled... --Randykitty (talk) 16:19, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi! Thank you for this discussion. If the main reason to delete is the GS h-index, it will be difficult to get any other index for a Russian legal scholar. Please let me know any Russian legal scholar who have higher index? there is nobody, from my point of view. The problem that Russian legal scholars make just few research in English and therefore don't have high level indexes.Yarik1949 (talk) 02:01, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I tried to explain above, the low h-index is not a reason to delete, it just doesn't provide any evidence for notability. In the absence of reliable sources, lack of notability ("No evidence that he meets any of the other criteria of ACADEMIC") is the policy-based reason that this is proposed for deletion. --Randykitty (talk) 09:59, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • It's quite difficult to measure notability of a scholar, particulary of a legal scholar... Legal science doesn't have universe criteria. It has national specifity and character. Legislation is unique for every country. It is not mathematica or chemistry with common rules and academics. There is no common rules and academics in law. When we speak about Russian legal scholars it's a lack of English research and as a consequence there is no famous English speaking academics. I think there is no one Russian legal scholar in English Wikipedia. It doesn't mean that there is no legal science in Russia. The main reason is mentioned above: there are just few who is recognised on the international level.Yarik1949 (talk) 19:44, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • That it is difficult doesn't mean we should throw our notability criteria out. In any case, it is not necessary for someone to be internationally known in order to be notable. We have quite a lot of articles on people that are only locally notable. Sources in Russian are acceptable, too, as long as they are reliable and independent of the subject. I note that there is apparently no article for this person in the Russian WP either... How is his name written in Russian? (That may help us find sources). --Randykitty (talk) 19:51, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • What do you mean by "independent"? You could have publications or couldn't have. Maleshin has more than 120 publications in different languages...Yarik1949 (talk) 20:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think that we could reach a consensus because nobody listen to the arguments... Thank you for your timeYarik1949 (talk) 20:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Publishing is not what makes somebody notable. All academics publish, that is what they do and what they are paid for. What counts is whether those publications have been noted, i.e., have had an impact that can be verified by reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The two sources you give above (academia.com and his university page) are not independent of the subject, because he likely provided that information himself. BTW, I note that "Малешин Дмитрий Ярославович" does not give a single hit on the Russian wiki either. In order for us to have an article, a subject needs to meet either the general notability guideline, os a specialty guideline such as WP:ACADEMIC. I see no evidence that Maleshin meets either. I understand your frustration: creating new articles is one of the hardest things to do here on WP. But please read those guidelines, because following them will make yoru life here much easier. --Randykitty (talk) 11:14, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maleshin meets most of criterias that mentioned in WP:ACADEMIC, including: 1)significant impact in their scholarly discipline; 2) member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association; 3)The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education; 4)The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post; 5)chief editor of a major well-established academic journal in their subject area.

Please have a look updated page. The problem that we measure Maleshin's notability differently...Yarik1949 (talk) 13:26, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Please read my last comment again. (Especially the linked policies about verifiability and independent reliable sources). I don't see any evidence of 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. --Randykitty (talk) 13:49, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please check again the updated page. All te criterias are there: membership in prestigious scholarly societies; editorship, etc. What do you want to see? Nobel Prize? Nobody got Nobel prize in law. There is no any reason for me to continue this discussion. Nobody listen to the arguments. Thank you for your timeYarik1949 (talk) 15:21, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please also try to understand the policies that you are reading (and don't forget the explanatory notes).. "Membership" in prestigious societies is not enough, after all, the only thing one has to do is pay the dues. It needs to be elected into somthing like a national academy of sciences or similar prestigious honor. As for the editorship, Maleshin is editor for two journals, neither of them notable, hence neither of them "a major well-established academic journal". If anybody is not listening here, I'm afraid it is you yourself. --Randykitty (talk) 17:30, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I repeat that Maleshin meets most of criterias that mentioned in WP:ACADEMIC. 1). Editorship: the Russian Law Journal is the best legal academic journal in Russia, the only one that indexed by Heinonline, etc. He is also member of editorials of other Russian and International legal academic journals; 2) membership. He is a member of a major international organisation in the field of civil procedure - International association of procedural law. He is not ordinary member, but a member of a Council and was elected there in 2008; 3)He has been during 10 years Vice Dean of the leading law school in Russia of Moscow State University and got major votes in Dean's elections in 2013. It was a big event and notorious affair; 3) He has drafted many statutes on the legal education in Russia and has a significant impact on the higher education in Russia; 4) He participates in many international academic projects and his academic work has made a significant impact in the field of civil procedure. I can continue... I think he is notable in the field of civil procedure and legal education in Russia.Yarik1949 (talk) 15:29, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • And I repeat: 1/ None of these journals is notable (the Russian Law Journal was deleted after an AfD even): doesn't meet WP:ACADEMIC. 2/ None of those are major elected memberships and honors: doesn't meet WP:ACADEMIC. 3/ There are no reliable sources that make this assertion verifiable: doesn't meet WP:ACADEMIC. 4/ Participating in projects is what all academics do. However, there are no reliable sources that documents that this participation made any impact: doesn't meet WP:ACADEMIC. --Randykitty (talk) 15:52, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I told you that the Russian Law Journal is the best in Russia and is the one that is indexed by international databases. It was deleted in WIKI by you.

I stumbled across this article, which seems to be about a student theatre company at Carleton University. It appears to have been kept at a laughable 2006 AfD where not one person put forward a single reliable independent source - I sort of doubt these weak arguments would wash 8 years later! Though it is long-established it is still effectively a student club, run by the university's students and, in my view, would be better placed as a paragraph in the Carleton University article. Claiming notability on the backs of university students that subsequently became successful seems to be 'notability by association', which doesn't work on Wikipedia does it?!

All the transfers included have already been revealed via press releases, etc. If it's already deemed newsworthy, how can it be WP:TOOSOON. Also, absolutely everything is completely verifiable, with references included to indicate as such, so it definitely doesn't meet WP:CRYSTAL either. The article refers to both the 2015 and the 2016 seasons, and transfers between those two seasons. It's definitely not just particular to the 2016 season.

  • Keep. I found two sources which mention and describe in some detail the series and added it to the article. I see that the comic series appears in the index of this encyclopedia, suggesting there is an entry on it, but the corresponding page is not available. Unfortunately I do not have time now for full-scale digging, and it is not a topic that interests me, but I am sure given that it was last published in the 1970s and in Italian, there is a lot more out there, in offline sources and possibly in editions of the Italian Cartoon Museum in Lucca.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:57, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • As usual, WP:NACTOR does not confer an automatic notability freebie on every single actor who happens to have an IMDb page, because all actors (even ones who only have a single credited "background extra" role) have IMDb pages. It's reliable source coverage, not confirmation of mere existence, that gets an actor into Wikipedia — but no evidence of any RS coverage has been demonstrated here, and the television series on which her claim of notability has been staked has not even premiered yet. Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if and when the sourcing is there. Bearcat (talk) 23:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep He's the main star of an upcoming $17 million film which is the reboot of the popular Kickboxer franchise. Why in the world would anyone want to remove information about its star from the internet? People are interested in the film and, by extension, its star. Who is this actor we are unfamiliar with? It makes absolutely no sense to remove this info. It will just be added back as soon as we get closer to the release date, so why get rid of it? Donmike10 (talk) 18:08, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was snow close as delete. While there are a few sources that claim that Heng is performing in this or that film, there's nothing to confirm that it's this specific Heng. What makes this seem specifically like a hoax is that the article claims that Heng has won a Sundance Award and been nominated for an equally well known award, yet there's no coverage of her accomplishing this. Her age is also a pretty telling factor and a search for her on the Internet at large doesn't bring anything up. She's also not on IMDb, but I'd like to point out that people have used that site to perpetuate hoaxes in the past, as can be seen with Gretel Ashzinger, where they manipulated IMDb into backing up their hoax (even going so far as to claim that she presented a Grammy) so being on IMDb really doesn't mean anything. If anyone wants this re-opened I'll reopen it, but this looks like it's a pretty blatant hoax. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 06:22, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The deletions were because of someone else not knowing what role she was playing this new article has good sources that verify the article her name can be found in the cast list.

  • Delete Obvious hoax is obvious. Its unlikely a 12 year old is a stunt double. The individual who has removed the WP:SPEEDY tags has also added similar information to other articles (those these articles are accurate apart from the new inclusions). Amortias (T)(C) 02:39, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This seems to be a hoax. The sources that mention her name are all unreliable, and the sources that are somewhat reliable don't mention her name at all. The IP's been adding her name to several film pages now, so I'll go ahead and revert those for now since the existence of this person is in question.
