Christian radicalism[edit]

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

I added a deletion template, because the article is insignificant and this act of radicalism is not reported anywhere by the media. It was useless and waste of editors time in trying to expand this article.Even if anyone disagrees, this page would eventually be deleted because there are no reports for this type of radicalism.23.27.248.32 (talk) 11:01, 29 January 2015 (UTC) Completing a nomination for deletion on behalf of User 23.27.248.32 --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:52, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - It may not be reported in the media but there has been signs of radicalism. We've got a whole category about it and there are loads of sources in the references list. There is gonna have to be more reasons before I can support deleting it. Jackninja5 (talk) 11:42, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We really can't have an article on a subject not discussed by reliable sources. -- 120.23.95.177 (talk) 23:35, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This strikes me as being Noun + Adjective rather than Noun + Noun. We've got liberation theology — that's "Christian radicalism." We've got Christian socialism — that's "Christian radicalism." We've got pacifism — that is, in part, "Christian radicalism." This is an amorphous fork, it seems to me. Carrite (talk) 12:18, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Classic WP:SYNTH, grouping a number of things together and calling them "Christian radicalism," when the sources don't do that. Some WP:NPOV problems too, but that isn't an AfD issue. -- 120.23.95.177 (talk) 23:34, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is an original piece of work. It seeks to bring together Christian movements that describe themselves as radical. No source given (or, to my knowledge, any source existing) brings these together in this way. Relentlessly (talk) 18:34, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable writer/poet. She has several writing credits (which isn't unexpected as a writer), but nothing that appears to get close to the criteria described by the WP:AUTHOR guideline. There also doesn't appear to be anything that satisfies the GNG. Bjelleklang - talk 23:48, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Celia Berrell is a very notable poet. very few poets ever get published. She has her work in the High School Text books in Three Countries - Australia, Ireland and Canada. Education institutions in those countries consider her work worth studying by their students. She is also an 'approved resource' for the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in the UK. She is also regularly published in the CSIRO Magazine - a national magazine for those interested in science related matters. This is extremely rare for a poet. She has received a grant and had a large body of work vetted by the James Cook University in Queensland. She has a book of her poems published, and many more attributes. i understood by adding this and working on her site, the potential 'deletion' would be removed as I had also logged an objection while editing and improving the content. Berrell is becoming one of Australia's most notable poets. The references on the site all attest to the notability Sarah Thinking 26 (talk) 00:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC)Sarah Thinking 26Sarah Thinking 26 (talk) 00:57, 30 January 2015 (UTC) ~~Sarah thinking26~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sarah Thinking 26 (talk • contribs) — Sarah Thinking 26 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Weak keep - inclusion in a Macmillan textbook is probably a decent indicator of notability. as is winning a prize that was covered by USA Today. Combined with the various other established publishers that have published per poems and I'd say she is notable. Unfortunately, there isn't a huge amount of biographical material available to support an article. This interview and this bio should be enough, though. (Neither establishes notability, but both should be sufficiently reliable to fill in the details of her bio after notability is established.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:02, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

- According to the article you linked she didn't win, but was one of the finalists. Bjelleklang - talk 22:20, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I love her poetry. We studied it at school; so I would say she is notable. She actually got me interested in poetry and I liked that fact she wrote it about art as well. I didn't know poets did that, and she does it with science also. You actually learn 'science stuff' when you read her verse. I'd like to see more about her up.

your sister reading the poetry is completely irrelevant to establishing notability. LibStar (talk) 13:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I also believe Celia Berrell is a notable poet. She has a very broad audience from school children in Australia, Canada and Ireland through their English textbooks and the CSIRO Scientriffic magazine, as well as being endorsed higher education institutions in Australia and elsewhere. Then there is the web audience, which just keeps growing because her work is educative and enjoyable. I've learned a lot from her poems, so I am happy to keep adding to her site as I find more references.

Harry N.G. Phillips[edit]

Harry N G Phillips (apparently born 1999 [1]) has, according to the article, starred in three of the biggest West End productions, a major film, and has released an album. Such a person would be easy to find online but in fact all I can find is a few social media sites where someone of this name is commenting on such things. It appears to be a hoax.

Irreligion in Denmark[edit]

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

No need for this article because we have the Religion in Denmark article and this article is very short. Mr. Guye (talk) 22:34, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Religion in Denmark, where the basic ideas here are already discussed in more context. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 00:20, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Religion in Denmark until such time as a genuine article can be written. It appears from the template at the bottom of this article (an "Irreligion in Europe" navbox based on the general Template:Europe topic) that someone or someones is trying to build a real category of articles relating to athiesm and irreligion as distinct topics. I can see some merit to this as there's always been a questionable logic to only discussing those subjects directly under topics of their antithesis, and I see at least one link (to Irreligion in the United Kingdom) is well fleshed out and cited. Unfortunately this article isn't an article yet, and the category as a whole isn't a category yet, so much so that the navbox title of "Irreligion in Europe" redirects to...a subsection of the article Religion in Europe. -Markeer 00:53, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Mostyn[edit]

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

WP:BLP of a person, relying entirely on primary sources with the exception of one article in a reliable source, of a person who, by virtue of a "change of title" technicality, just barely escapes being speediable as a straight WP:G4 — except for that one change of title within an organization that he was already involved with last time, the actual content of the article, and the quality of the sourcing provided to support it, are still substantively the same as before. Three of the four sources here are his own LinkedIn profile, a press release on the website of the organization he works for, and a raw table of election results for his unsuccessful political candidacies — and the one acceptable source here, #1, is not enough coverage to qualify him for an article by itself. Being the CEO of an organization is not a notability freebie if the sourcing for it is this limited, and being an unsuccessful candidate for election to political office is not a valid claim of notability at all — but a Google search confirms that the coverage with his name in it is almost entirely of the "namechecking his existence" variety, with not even close to enough of the "substantively about him" kind of coverage to claim WP:GNG.

Keep CEO of a significant organization. Down Kitty (talk) 23:46, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"CEO of a significant organization" is not a notability freebie on Wikipedia — a CEO of an organization, regardless of its significance or lack thereof, only gets a standalone article on Wikipedia if you can reliably source him over WP:GNG as an individual.

Delete. All the news sources used in the article are unreliable and probably paid/affliated news. Such associated sources preventing the article from being verifiable and neutral. Also the news link provided by Ibrahim Husain proves that the Ittefaq (the only considerable and reliable source) has close association with the subject and because of this, we can't consider the source as reliable.

Is he a media personality? He wrote two mediocre books (probably self published) and acted side role in two dramas. So whats make him notable? Did anyone knows how many FM radio in Bangladesh? Its 13 radio channels. So how many rjs are working over four years at the radio? Is it make him notable?? According to wiki policy, he is not notable.

This is the biggest verified fan page in the radio industry of Bangladesh.

He is also The managing director of Campus Radio Bangladesh. Isn't it notable? — Masum Ibn Musa ^Conversation 07:21, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - No matters how many likes he got. Facebook even verifies less-notable persons. Facebook verified the page of Rashel Kabir, keyboardist of Shironamhin. His Facebook page has only 2,700 likes. I can't even find any news article about him in Google search. Facebook has also verified some nonsense pages of dog and other animals. I have tried hard to find some independent sources (The ittefaq article is not independent at all) to add citation for his Neilson award achievement, but failed to find any. I also failed to find any information about the award from the cultural academy. The only thing we have is the affliated promo interview of Ittefaq. I will change my vote to keep if you can provide some reliable source other than the Ittefaq article so that we can verify his awards.- Rahat (Talk * Contributions) 08:09, 23 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The issue at hand here is not popularity or fame, it is the very strict concept of notability as defined at Wikipedia. Wikipedia requires that the subject of an article has been the subject of multiple instances of significant coverage in independent media, so that we have unbiased source material from which to build the Wikipedia article. In the absence of such source material, the subject's popularity is irrelevant. If we have no material from which to build an article, then we cannot have the article.

I have to agree with the others advocating delete.

Milstein Family Foundation[edit]

This article has been deleted at least once in pretty much its current form, and the original editor User:Jewishsarah(User talk:Jewishsarah) was blocked for her persistence. I'm sure the Foundation does great work, and the Milsteins look like lovely people, but there is no real assertion of notability, its references do not meet the general notability guidelines, and the tone is promotional. I think the author needs to wait until there is serious press coverage of the foundation, demonstrating notability. ubiquity (talk) 18:10, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Luxury Goods Index[edit]

The Luxury Goods Index (aka Rolex Index) appears to be made up, possibly by the author User:Rolexindex; I have certainly found no evidence of this anywhere other than here and it appears to be non-notable. Standard & Poor's have a Luxury Goods Index so possibly this could redirect to the article but as there's no mention of it there I suggest we simply delete. RichardOSmith (talk) 19:34, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable. No mention of this index found, no mention found of the supposed inventor. Could even be a speedy delete on made up grounds. It is not the same as the Standard and Poor's index (which looks at companies producing luxury goods rather than countries likely to consume luxury goods) so it should not be a redirect to that article.

Speedy delete under criterion A11 as made up, especially given that the user name is the same as one of the names given for the index.

Divorce Recovery[edit]

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

This is an Original research essay that explains how Divorce ties in to the Five stages of grief. It doesn't appear to me to be noteworthy enough for an independent article. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 17:37, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - as presented, most of it is unsourced, some of what is sourced is mis-sourced (such as sourcing the opening sentence to a dictionary def of "recovery", so it appears to be a WP:OR essay. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:19, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as copyvio. ~~Keep~~ – It does read like an essay, but it's not OR. The connection to the 5 stages is obvious and was made back in 1988 by the Rosenstock book, which is cited in the article, and repeated since then by divorce counselors. In fact a large part of the article is a word-for-word copy or close paraphrase of Neumann, who is also cited. So if anything there are copyright issues. It needs a new lead that describes the content better. It should probably also be renamed something like "Five stages of divorce recovery". But if that was done I think it's a well-defined topic that could have an article. The copyvio parts will have to be removed, which may leave some sections as stubs, perhaps just the title of the stage. They would have to be filled in later. – Margin1522 (talk) 19:15, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete - the parts that I didn't strike out as copyvio are basically copyvio of this source (and it also looks like the sourcing may have just been copied from there, rather than checked directly, which is a no-no.) Strike what's there, and we're basically left with an opening sentence, sourced to a dictionary definition that doesn't cover it, on a page that would have to be moved anyway due to Improper Title Capitalization. This is not to say that an article on this topic could not arise under a similar title and be acceptable, but as it stands, it's looking pretty WP:G12 to me. --Nat Gertler (talk) 19:54, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment – Well, that was drastic. I guess anyone who wants to know what article we are talking about will now have to look at the history. Unfortunately this is a problem with new editors – they think that citing sources means copying them. If we are going to say that copyrighted material must not exist on Wikipedia, which is the policy, then I guess delete is the only option. But this is the wrong forum for that. This article should have been reported to Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Here our job is to decide whether a properly sourced article could be written, and we both seem to agree that it could. I would suggest that the best course, per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (2nd bullet point from the top) might be to withdraw this nomination and report the article to Wikipedia:Copyright problems. – Margin1522 (talk) 21:30, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Deleting the portions that are clear violations of copyright is not "drastic", it's what WP:COPYVIO calls for ("If you have strong reason to suspect a violation of copyright policy and some, but not all, of the content of a page appears to be a copyright infringement, then the infringing content should be removed, and a note to that effect should be made on the discussion page, along with the original source, if known."), although in this case I carried the information about the source of the violations in the edit summary rather than the discussion page. --Nat Gertler (talk) 22:36, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison of African Traffic Signs[edit]

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

I am also nominating the following related pages because they were created by the same user and have the same issues regarding lack of information.

The article contains no sources or references and currently uses road sign files from other countries than those they are being used to represent. I do not believe there is currently enough information on the subject at this time to warrant such an article, unlike Comparison of European road signs which is fully sourced and documented. Fry1989 ^eh? 17:35, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~keep~~- the information may be tough to find, but it is out there Deunanknute (talk) 21:08, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There currently is zero information. I may re-create this article in a few months once I have uploaded the road signs for SADC, a block of about 15 African countries, but currently these 3 articles are nothing but speculation. Fry1989 ^eh? 00:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. - I agree with Fry1989 here. This article lacks any relevant information, and seems to have been the grounds for an edit war between two (unregistered) users. Some of these users have made similar unsourced edits to Comparison of MUTCD-Influenced Traffic Signs, but that article is properly sourced, as is the European comparison. I think that some poorer African countries get surplus signage from their former colonial powers, or have based their signage on them (cf. Mauritius and the UK). If that is to be represented on Wikipedia, it should be sourced at the very least. Fry1989 actually took the time to upload the Mauritian version of those signs, and that's what's needed here. As it stands, though, this article and its past revisions appear to be largely speculative, except for the cases where Fry1989 uploaded the appropriate signage. Hence, my decision to delete. --Amateria1121 (talk) 17:58, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nabih Naamtallah Azzi[edit]

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

Non-notable person. The subject of local notoriety and legend / gossip, but no real notability. Sourced entirely to a private family website. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:45, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cedrus Libani: — Preceding unsigned comment added by CedrusLibani075 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 29 January 2015 (UTC) Page does in fact detail a culturally relevant person with regards to the history of Tabarja. This page involves aspects of local beliefs on the person, but does not stray so far as to declare the person mythical in any way. If there is anything in particular you want removed, feel free to actually edit the article. However, this person is important to the history of not only Tabarja, but also to all of the Kesrwan region. An industrialist who modernized the local infrastructure, connected the city to the first electrical grid in the country, and paved the old dirt roads seems worthy of mention.[reply]

More sources will be found, if the family website doesn't suit you then don't bother using the Kennedy family website or the Royal family website to source their articles. Also of note, I belong to the Nakouzi family, I'm not writing an article about a family member or for personal reasons. I am attempting to document the history of the area, and he is a big part of it.

Comment @CedrusLibani075: The articles on John F. Kennedy or the British Royal Family use websites dedicated to those families, but not exclusively. Those articles are well-sourced with reliable secondary sources as well. Should you be able to provide such reliable secondary sources about this subject, I would welcome them. And surely you can recognize the difference in significance between the President of the United States or the British Royal Family and the mayor of a town in Lebanon. It may well be that Azzi is significant in the history of Tabarja, but unless that significance extends beyond Tabarja, that still may not merit inclusion. Local notability is not the same as global notability. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:06, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I wish to emphasize that I'm not approaching this on some unabashed emotional tantrum, I really do think this page has merit. I understand your point, however I have to respectfully disagree. Nabih Azzi is not only known in Tabarja, but throughout the Kesrwan region, which I mind you holds almost a quarter of Lebanon's Maronite population. Yes, I understand he doesn't make it into the history books, but that's because there are none in the region dedicated to the history of Kesrwan in recent times. This article is made with the intention of informing the public, not deceiving them. And quite frankly, it's not anyones place to determine if a single person who is important to one group but not another does not merit mention in what is suppossed to be the human encyclopedia.

Also, I was not referencing president Kennedy, I was referring to his father the industrialist. And yes, two large families who are noteworthy in their localities are worthy of comparison. The Azzi family hold the same status of the Khazen and Sursok families in the region, both of which hardly have verifiable references in their pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CedrusLibani075 (talk • contribs) 15:14, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is unfortunate that the history of the Maronite population in Lebanon is ill-documented, but Wikipedia can't solve that problem. If there are no reliable sources, there are no reliable sources. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 16:31, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regardless of whether the documentary itself makes him notable enough to qualify for a Wikipedia article, the article in question is not adequately referenced — it relies solely on a single article in a gossip/entertainment/scandal tabloid, which is a class of publication that we do not accept as appropriate reliable sourcing for anything under any circumstances ever. I'm certainly willing to reconsider this if the sourcing can be improved significantly, but no claim of notability ever entitles a person to keep an article that relies exclusively on one unacceptable source to support it.

Keep Is this a binary all or nothing? I am looking at Ambassador of Iceland to Australia and it is a standard list of the previous and current ambassadors of Iceland to Australia with the dates that they served. We already have articles on most of the ambassadors in Icelandic and some in English, so why is a list with their dates of service not a reasonable list? It appears to be a standard almanac entry. Almanacs are only useful if they are complete.

they are all non resident ambassadors, they may have visited Australia once to present their credentials, but there is no coverage of actual work done as a non resident ambassador of Australia. LibStar (talk) 07:24, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

the current non resident ambassador to Australia, is the same as the non resident ambassador to Croatia! Which might show how relevant this post is. LibStar (talk) 07:30, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

even better the current non resident ambassador to australia is based in Germany!! That might show how notable the ambassador posting in Australia is. I wonder if he has actually visited Australia? LibStar (talk) 07:37, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, it's not an all or nothing thing, but there has to be a standard between notable and non-notable ambassadorial relationships. For me, I believe that litmus test is whether or not there is an embassy (and I'm sure there are exceptions). If a country x has an embassy in country y, there should be significant (and thus notable) relations. None of these fit that description, which makes them non-notable.

Weak Keep/Comment my default attitude would be Delete just because I don't see a single citation at the bottom of the article, and leave it there. But at the risk of plunging into an Other Stuff Exists debate, I should mention there's an extensive collection of articles regarding recurring characters and sketches related to Saturday Night Live (big example here). It strikes me as this is very much an apples-to-apples comparison. I assume the editors who spun off the SNL pages (and there are many of them) created sub-pages for brevity on the main page, combined with a notability justification based on the show itself. I mention this because...MadTV has an article that is clearly about a notable subject, and this sub looks like a spinoff that probably happened for the same reason. This needs inline citations, this needs links to article about the recurring characters, this needs footnotes about the show...no question of any of that. But I don't think this is a deletion without some conversation about whether sketch comedy shows as a whole should have subpages about content details. -Markeer 00:13, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- If we're going to have a conversation about this here, I'd just like to weigh in: I think the List of recurring Saturday Night Live characters and sketches article (and all its subpages) should be deleted also, and would be happy to nominate it for AfD with consensus.

Delete. I'm not sure this is original research in the Wikipedia sense, but it also falls far short of our retention policies.

So far as I can determine, none of the papers listed have been cited by anyone other subsequent self-citation by Khumalo, and none are in what could even be charitably described as influential journals (International Advances in Economic Research is probably the best of them, but his publication there is a "Research Note", which in that title is sort of a step above a Letter to the Editor; on the other end of the scale, Global Journal of Mathematical Sciences: Theory and Practical is considered predatory by Jeffrey Beall).

This world is not English, is Wikipedia for English speakers only, it requires far more thought to take something from one Language into English, what is so frightening about the fact that the derivative falls and integral rises because your reputable people did not see that link, we have to grow up, see around, people speak thousands of languages, fringe, well if the not fringe people could not see simple fact that at infinite dimensions derivative is zero and integral is infinite, ask yourself why they are not fringe, numbers do not lie, delete if you will, but the numbers and logic has followed, if you can not understand the logic, blame yourself not the person who discovered the conceptsInkanyamba (talk) 23:30, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm afraid those mathematical assertions make no more sense here than in the article. "the derivative". What derivative?; there are as many as there are functions, i.e. an infinite number, even in just one dimension. Such vague and meaningless assertions are worthless. It is not our fault if the article is so poorly written it makes no mathematical sense. Other than that we have already commented on the sources; yes, some sources are much better than others. It's not a matter of nationalism; if anything there are more Western fringe sources than foreign ones. But the main sources here are not reliable ones.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 23:57, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article is variously incomprehensible or promotional ("Needing to think like outside the box like Einstein"?), and the sources look like a real-life walled garden of dubious fringe scholarship.

What is so confusing about stating simply that at higher dimensions the derivative tends towards zero and integral towards infinity and adjustments must be made accordingly, what is your scientific reasoning for refusing, none, not one human can fight a scientific truth. Fringe, obviously, what man will promote original thought from another, Sterling the ex owner of LA Cavaliers basketball team said it right, then he was hated, you promote your own, why should a French, AngloSaxon, Jew, German ever promote black original thought, never, the refusal of the concept of the individual is being refused replaced by this what we have, bad system, evil minds, blacks aligned with keeping image of owners of media as superior are only ones who will be promoted, especially when it comes to science. One would have thought Wikipedia was above that, an encyclopedia dealing with facts. Well world will wait patiently for Chinese or Indians to hopefully start encyclopedias of their own, after all papers where edited probably by Chinese and Indians. Reality of this world. Everything boils down to simply money. Please don't delete this conversation. If ever a white ever mentions that rate of change decreases with dimensions and integral increases with dimensions, it just means nothing but racism has taken place today just like 200 years ago, never must a white man from his non fringe institutions say anything similar to definition of transdimensional mathematics. Unfortunately you will find it difficult to study dimensions without accepting that fact. Enjoy your money, delete it, but this conversation must stay, you are saying if somebody sitting in a tropical rain forest discovers something it does not count as they are fringe, scientific thought does not work like that, it merely works on something is true or false, the principles are getting more complex, you will realize too late, its just knowledge for all to share and contribute and enjoy. Now we will have unnecessary duplication in technology for the same result, trillions down the drain because we could not understand liberty is greatest collaborator Inkanyamba (talk) 01:39, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Inkanyamba: Wikipedia's goal is for verifiability NOT truth. Verifiability is vital for keeping Wikipedia factual, if we just included any assumed truth without verifiable references it would be a mess. So in fact, this is very similar to the scientific method of which you are so fond. In science, something must be verifiable by being repeated by many different people before it is accepted by the scientific community. Something your original research has failed to do at this point.

Redirect to Dimension which is what I originally did with this rubbish, but was reverted. For the record Transdimensional already redirects to Dimension, as should this. All the multi-dimensional mathematics are described in the article. This article has no references and is WP:OR. -War wizard90 (talk) 02:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article edited much needed compromise if that is the idea of consensus, left it as bare as possible, but very boring, it will grow with the knowledge increases, most original thought has always originated from the fringes, this is a scientific principle, that is all it will ever be, remember most just promote from their community, Bhekuzulu is not your community, his community must promote his works, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, all this is stating a theorem like any other theorems that a full on Wikipedia, , .Inkanyamba (talk) 14:54, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is that, for Wikipedia, inclusion requires sources independent of the original author(s). Here, the only person who appears to have considered this topic is Khumalo. So Khumalo's journal publications do not demonstrate notability (again, in the Wikipedia sense). We would need evidence of other, independent writers discussing or critiquing these ideas, in reliable sources (which many journals are, including many non-Western journals, but not things like OMICS and RIP journals). Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 15:05, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it would help if you wrote in Standard English, complete sentences, fully developed thoughts. You do not even start the article with a sentence. Why not? It appears to be a bunch of thoughts, not necessarily related to the topic and tangential phrases thrown into a page. No one could decide to include what exists now as an article when there is no discernible topic and it is without sources. MicroPaLeo (talk) 16:02, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure where to begin with this. First, this is non-notable, without significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable sources. Second, this entire page seems like a walking advertisement, the format is very abnormal, and the lead is gone because I took it out as a copyvio. I'm sure there are lots more copyvios on this page, I simply don't have time to look for them right now. Cheers. --L235 (talk) Ping when replying 04:39, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - first, I don't think that's copyvio at all - I think the website in question copied its text from Wikipedia rather than the other way around. Note it is in exactly the same format as Top Gear (series 10) and Top Gear (series 12) on either side (and every one of the other 21 articles, for a total of 22). All are formatted the same way and it doesn't seem particularly abnormal. Such season-by-season articles are commonplace for highly rated notable television shows, fiction, non-fiction and otherwise. I see no reason to randomly delete one right in the middle. I'll restore the lede (issues with which could be resolved without blanking anyway) until it can be demonstrated that it is an actual copyvio. St★lwart¹¹¹ 05:50, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Israeli intervention in the Syrian Civil War[edit]

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

This article is entirely based on a specific incident which is already covered. Furthermore, the alleged fact that this airstrike is some kind of Israeli "involvement" in the Syrian civil war is original research and POV. Ashurbanippal (talk) 01:40, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this was true when the article was a stub. Though much has changed. Since this discussion was started, the article has been expanded to include many different involvements. Thank you. Ism schism (talk) 21:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The above statement is false. The fact Israel is involved in airstrikes in Syria is the definition of involvement. One can argue the magnitude of involvement but it is foolish (or political agenda pushing) to deny they are involved. The article has several references even though it is very new. The motivation for deletion appears to be strongly motivated by a political agenda. It appears to be a relevant, notable and well referenced article. KEEP — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.56.9.4 (talk) 06:52, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Israel hasn't been involved in the internal conflict of Syria, it only intervenes when it considers that Hezbollah is preparing attacks against its territory. Otherwise it says neutral in the civil war and doesn't support either side. Besides, even if Israel were indeed helping the opposition or the government, one single incident with its own article doesn't justify an entire different article about the same thing.--Ashurbanippal (talk) 09:03, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I created the article is that 1) bombing a country that's in the middle of a civil war in an intervention in that civil war, 2)Hezbullah is a combatant in the civil war and so is Iran. There has been both sniping and bombing on the border (I know, not everyone agrees that it IS a de jure border, but it's sure as hell a de facto one). I remember all the arguments about what to do with the blitzkreig in Iraq a year ago. We need a page where everything on a topic comes together. This is it.Ericl (talk) 13:54, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion has alleviated most of my concerns about this being a POV fork, but I agree with Ism schism below; "intervention" carries POV concerns that do not appear to be explicitly mirrored in the sources, so I would suggest a rename to Israeli involvement in the Syrian Civil War if this is retained.

Cititrust[edit]

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

Either this is a very shady company, or it's simply not notable. Searching for "Cititrust" on GBooks turns up lots of mentions of a Cititrust in the Bahamas that helps companies with tax evasion by setting up shell firms, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if that is the same company or not.

Note that the current name of the company, according to its website, is "Cititrust International" (which turns up few unaffiliated web hits), and I only searched English-language sources. Maybe better sources are available in Spanish or other languages. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 17:42, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently non-notable; only cited source comes from PRNewsWire, which I don't believe would be considered a reliable source. Google check and Highbeam check turns up no other sources. Article is vaguely (and occasionally not-so-vaguely) promotional in tone; I stripped out several external links from the body of the article as well as a long, context-less set of links at the bottom.

Comment. Here's a link for his Google scholar citation counts; he doesn't seem to have a profile there.

Weak keep. We normally don't keep articles on academics based mostly on their undergraduate or earlier accomplishments, but there have been exceptions (Arthur Rubin comes to mind as one) and Kane's record of achievement in top-level contests is very exceptional. It also looks like he's on-track to a good academic career, although it may be a bit too soon to have accumulated enough notability for that aspect of his life. As I hinted above, the CS publications can probably be judged fairly enough on their citation record and best-paper award record (the article doesn't mention it but he also has a 2005 Machtey Award, essentially a best student paper award), but that's problematic for the math publications because of the low citation rate in that field. I think that the quotes from the Morgan award citation are more telling there: "“Daniel’s first paper improves on a famous Annals of Mathematics paper by Paul Erdős" (Annals is arguably the best journal in mathematics, and Erdős one of the top mathematicians of the 20th century), and (in a paper written as a high schooler) "He proved an open conjecture stated by a well-known number theorist several years before". They match my impression of the CS side: a little early, but already strong. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:49, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. His GS profile gives a h-index of 12 (which is too low for WP:PROF), while his younger accomplishments have not attracted the kind of national press coverage that, for example, Michael Viscardi has received. Some of the things listed in the article (e.g. "He won a Best Paper award at the 2010 Symposium on Principals of Database Systems (PODS)") are utterly ordinary. -- 120.23.11.150 (talk) 06:33, 30 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Eppstein. While generally true that student awards are not considered under WP:PROF, there are exceptions to this at the highest levels (Arthur Rubin being the obvious one, but possibly also Reid Barton and Gabriel Drew Carroll, though I don't think either of those make particularly good test cases for a precedent). If we had to codify our de facto best practice in the matter, it would be: four time Putnam fellows are ipso facto notable.

Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Non-notable. I removed one reference which was a post by Kota which didn't even mention ACTE. Most of the rest of the references are primary sources; Kota's own university faculty pages, and a publicity piece by NASA. Yes, they test flew his idea, but they test fly lots of stuff and a test flight doesn't make it notable. I didn't evaluate the Fox News reference beyond noting it was Fox News and dismissing it for that reason.

I can't find anyplace that supports the claim of 12% fuel savings; the only mention is in the Times of India article, which is a short local boy makes good human-interest article about Kota and only cites unnamed aeronautical experts worldwide.

I know this made the front page under DYK, but that just makes me wonder about the quality of the DYK review process.

Note: the first AfD was closed procedurally with no bias either way, so re-nominating for a fresh debate. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:26, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Times of India bio is admittedly not great. The Fox News article that the nominator dismissed out of hand needed no such dismissal (regardless of one's political alignment, Fox News is generally a reliable source). The NASA press release is arguably not independent, and the university pages most certainly are not. Were that all there was to go on, I'd be more inclined to side with deletion. But they are not. There's discussion of the topic by Scientific American here and in one of their senior editor's WP:NEWSBLOGs here, Bloomberg Business (which even drew an illustration with a hilariously out-of-context Twilight Zone tribute), and Popular Science. There's room for editorial quibbling, I'm certain, about where we should have this information (at the current title, under the company name, under the company's product name, or in BLP format titled after the inventor responsible), but none of that is an issue for AFD to consider. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 05:48, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the first SciAm item. It does not meet WP:GNG. We require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I agree that SciAm is generally a reliable source. But, this is not significant coverage, and it pushes the definition of independent. This is a short piece which reads like a press release for Kota's company. It briefly mentions three different projects. ACTE is only mentioned in the last paragraph, and not even by name. Two thirds of the space is devoted to a photograph and three videos credited to Kota. The 12% fuel savings is repeated here, this time as a statement attributed to Kota, and full of vague claims (could boost, as much as).

I also looked at the SciAm newsblog. This also strikes me as not significant coverage and not independent. It's a rehash of an article Kota wrote (In our May 2014 issue, Sridhar Kota [...] published an article, etc). It includes absurd puffery as, Kota and his collaborators at NASA and the U.S. Air Force say the test is an aviation first. Of course it was an aviation first. All test flights are aviation firsts. That's the point of test flights. That doesn't make it notable.

Then I look at the PopSci article. It features a YouTube video produced by Kota's company. It cites no sources other than quotes from Kota. Conclusion, it's another warmed-over press release.

In short, do we have sufficient references to be confident this exists? Yes. Is it notable? No. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:14, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is true that the claim of 12% fuel savings is dubious. The Bloomberg Business link given by Squeamish Ossifrage says "FlexSys says that its flap cuts fuel use by 4% to 12%", which is certainly more correct than the (IMO plain wrong) "aeronautical experts worldwide have said will bring down jet fuel costs by up to 12%" of the Times of India. Furthermore IMO the fule saving is calculated only when the flaps are used (basically at startup and landing), which is a tiny period compared to the whole flight. Newertheless it seams to me that the technology is interesting and it is better to ameliorate the article (making it less an ad for Mr. Kota) than to delete it.--Danh (talk) 10:38, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Nascent technologies are worth keeping, and this one appears to have some promise.

Keep The Air Force found enough promise in the technology to actually build flight hardware to test it. Flight testing anything that significantly changes the aerodynamics of an aircraft is not trivial as it entails considerable time, money and even risk. This makes it notable in my view. The article itself, though, contains too much self-promotion. All mention of FlexSys Inc beyond being the system's supplier is superfluous. Also, since the tests are apparently still being conducted, the article is necessarily incomplete until the test results are in. However, aerodynamic structures that can flexibly adapt have been a continuing field of interest for years now, so Wikipedia should at least include a mention of the ACTE for those researching the field, and when the tests are complete the article can later be filled out with the results.

Keep/Merge This seems notable to me. There are articles that discuss it. The "primary source" issue is always complicated when it comes to new technologies or new ideas in science. To make an analogy: if Wikipedia was around when Einstein first published his theory of relativity would we say it wasn't notable because it was only in "primary sources" i.e. the physics journals where he first published? I hope not. I don't know enough about aeronautics but my guess is this could be merged in with some other article on aircraft technology. Perhaps some expert could take a shot at that, but in any case I think it is notable and should be kept or merged. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 13:39, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak~~ Keep. The article as it stands is terrible. But I think this might actually have some coverage, and I'm inclined to be a little permissive to counter systemic bias (to say that our articles on the cinema of Paraguay are incomplete is an understatement). First things first, if this is kept, it should almost certainly be moved to Latas Vacías. As for sourcing, this article from the Paraguayan National Secretariat of Culture discusses the film somewhat (although the awards it won are probably minor in the Wikipedia scale). This article has sort of a minimalist review (citing its popularity but not its quality), and at least according to my terrible Spanish skills, implies it had a domestic release in Paraguay. This one also suggests that a release was at least planned (it's an earlier article, so...) and gives some background on its production that would allow us to cite things like the film's language and budget. I presume there's more in Paraguayan media, most of which is simply not searchable online. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:57, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm finding quite a bit, but I am running into a little bit of trouble with the exact release date. It looks like an early version of the film was shown in 2013, but that the official release didn't happen until 2014.

No evidence of reliable, secondary coverage per WP:ORG, WP:WEB or WP:GNG. Blogger spotlight on haulix.com is not independent, as Haulix is a self-proclaimed promotional site that hosts promotional or self-generated content (e.g. press releases). Having over 7,000 reviews in and of itself does not demonstrate notability, unless independent sources testify to the significance of the website to the industry.

The blog was named Metal Review (metalreview.com) for 12 years. This may account for the difficulty in finding 3rd party references since the blog/domain no longer exists and searching for "metal review" returns far too many irrelevant results. I disagree that the amount of original content doesn't demonstrate notability. I believe it does as it serves as an excellent resource for reviews of metal music albums since 2001.

The article appears to be being primarily edited by user Acroll, who I suspect is the Alistair Croll mentioned in this article as having an undisclosed relationship with the subject: https://newmediamanitoba.com/events/276/how-not-to-fail-with-alistair-croll 50.72.165.184 (talk) 19:24, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, that's me. Not sure about undisclosed (am I supposed to disclose that? Don't most people who write entries have some relationship to the subject?) since my username is my real name.

Meg is a fairly notable entrepreneur in the Canadian technology scene, and I believe the references are legitimate news sources, all reasonably independent. If the criteria for an entry are notability and independent references I believe Meghan, and her work on things like education, entrepreneurship, and interactive media are sufficiently notable and independently verified.

Do you need other information to make a decision on this subject? I'm not a frequent contributor to Wikipedia so I'm not familiar with many of the tools and policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Acroll (talk • contribs) 11:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sources do seem a bit spamy, but AFAICT are independent and reliable (newspaper articles, TV interviews). Most of the good ones were added after the AfD nom. That said, it feels like a paid-for bit of press (both our article and some of the sources). keep for now, but I'd suggest people involved read WP:COI and WP:SOCK Hobit (talk) 10:04, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose native speakers of English underestimate the notabily of LL because they are not a target group. But in Russia, Brazil and Turkey Lingualeo is very popular, especially in Russia (10M users). The service was gazed many times by Forbes, Vedomosti, Kommersant and [[RBC Information Systems[RBK]].

I disagree with this AfD. As an author, his debut novel is starting to receive critical attention. He is notable under Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. I think we should also get someone to look at it in terms of WP:Soldier. TeriEmbrey (talk) 16:28, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"starting to receive critical attention" is not notable. Under which part of WP:SOLDIER does he fall? I was unable to find any notable awards, contributions, or roles. Deunanknute (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Current article clearly needs significant cleanup regardless. Ackerman has certainly written (and spoken) for a lot of high profile media: The New Republic, The Daily Beast, The New Yorker, NPR, and so on. And, often, they are having him write about himself, which seems somehow substantively different than just being a columnist with a byline. But it's still not independent, third-party coverage of him. There are slight mentions in connection with his novel in Vanity Fair (here) and the Los Angeles Review of Books (here). The novel got a full review in Kirkus (here). Arguably, that speaks more to the book's notability than to Ackerman's, but given the entirety of the picture, I don't think it's entirely unacceptable to keep the author as the primary topic. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 17:46, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per the general notability guideline, it doesn't really matter why he was interviewed so extensively. National coverage is national coverage. In any case, the argument is not that he is notable because he is CEO, but because of the nature and breadth of the coverage he has received.

Without trying to be overly contentious, I accept the lack of notability; but dispute the claim made regarding foundation. I have quoted from the Grammar school website, in an account made by his son: "To those of you who started at the school after 1957, this might seem a slightly odd request, but dad was the first (I suppose now, you’d say, founding, or foundation) head master when the school opened its doors in 1954. He therefore will have had more influence than anyone on its early development". -- Curlymanjaro (talk) 01:56, 01 Febuary 2015 (UTC)
