Totally unsourced blp. No google hits, none at all. Either profoundly non-notable or a hoax (leaning more toward the latter since the name+football yields not even the facebook/twitter/linkedin crud). I tried to BLPprod it but the page creator removed the tag without providing sources, so we have to go around for the whole AfD process. Happy Squirrel (talk) 23:10, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. I initially tagged this as a possible hoax, not having found anything online to corroborate the subject's existence. The claim He joined FC Khutoryanin Veydelevka on 1 September 2005 for a fee of 4 bags of cement and concrete mixer but was released a year later is a tip-off. And this [1] is the definition of a photshopped image.2601:188:0:ABE6:99FD:4E02:9E12:4A31 (talk) 23:14, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

- Comment The author of the article seems very determined to remove all templates from the article. To date they have removed maintenance templates twice, a BLPprod and an AfD template. The AfD template is currently back, courtesy of Cyberbot. I don't want to edit war over this, but I want to mention this to the closing admin. Happy Squirrel (talk) 23:26, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment After viewing a second photoshopped image, I've nominated this for speedy deletion as a blatant hoax. 2601:188:0:ABE6:99FD:4E02:9E12:4A31 (talk) 23:27, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

- Comment Given that we all agree this is a blatant hoax, is there a way to request a speedy closure? Speedy delete templates don't seem to last long with the page creator. Happy Squirrel (talk) 23:37, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

An indiscriminate collection of fiction.

- Delete once people have had the chance to transwiki, save, or duplicate the content. A fine work of scholarship but not suitable for Wikipedia. This is excessively detailed content (WP:DISCRIMINATE), original research (WP:OR), almost entirely derived from the fictional works under discussion (WP:NOTPLOT), and unsupported by third-party sources (WP:GNG).

- Nahar Singh (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Totally unsourced hagiography about a non-notable minor Indian prince who was hanged after the rebellion of 1857. The article was created more than 18 months ago and has never had even a single source, and my attempts to find reliable sources for it have failed. Thomas.W talk 18:40, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Correction: It's much older than 18 months as it was created in 2006, but it didn't have any reliable sources even when created, only links to Yahoo-groups. The article has been embellished over the years, and received an even more promotional tone than it originally had, but no sources. Thomas.W talk 18:50, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment - there's strong evidence that this prince existed, for example the petitions he made to the King and one of his letters turning up at auction. As an Indian ruler and someone who was executed after the Indian Rebellion, one would presume the likelihood that he was notable enough for Wikipedia. However, the penultimate section of the current article suggests he's been forgotten and unrecognised (which contradicts the remainder of the article). Being such a bloated, one-sided, unsourced essay, maybe it is an entirely original work and WP:BLOWITUP would be a solution. I've left a message at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics. Sionk (talk) 22:05, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment He has cricket stadium named after him Nahar Singh Stadium, stadium is major stadium mentioned on ESPN Cricinfo website [3]. If a major stadium is named after him then he is certainly notable. And here is reliable source from official website of Faridabad district [4] mentioning about him. Also official website of Haryana Tourism [5] has mention about him. --Human3015 knock knock • 22:26, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- That only supports that he existed, which noone has doubted, but it doesn't support any of the claims in the article. Blowing it up and starting from scratch again would be the best solution, but the lack of reliable sources means that we'd only get a stub article, if even that. Thomas.W talk 22:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- I have just read lead and improved it, we can add tags to rest of the article. If any extra-ordinary claim, we can delete it. Otherwise we can keep some logical unsourced things in good faith. --Human3015 knock knock • 22:43, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- So article can become stub if we edit it, but it is not case of deletion, I think. His palace Nahar Singh Mahal is just 15km away from south Delhi and looks great in pics I found. So any visitor who is visiting that palace may search on net for getting primary info about Nahar Singh. Or those who visited Nahar Singh Stadium for watching any match can also search for his article. So this article is necessary. --Human3015 knock knock • 23:19, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

I couldn't establish that this is a WP:NOTABLE character. It has been tagged for notability for over 7 years, unresolved. My initial attempt at resolution was to redirect but this was reverted. Cast of ER would probably be the best redirect target. I think it should be deleted or redirected. Boleyn (talk) 17:50, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Sending WP:APPNOTE to Lord Opeth and Mikeblas. Boleyn (talk) 17:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep. We should place the question of this entry's existence into the much larger context of such proposals/essays (both active and inactive) as WP:Notability (fictional characters), WP:Notability (fiction), WP:Notability (fiction)/proposed-12-9-07, WP:Plot-only description of fictional works and the related WikiProject Soap Operas guidelines on character articles. Mindful of arguments set forth under WP:Other stuff exists, we should also note that this 13,291 byte entry was singled out for no discernible reason from among the 25 other character entries at Category:ER (TV series) characters (in April, the nominator had deleted and redirected to List of supporting characters in ER, another singled-out entry, Michael Gallant, which contained 8,118 bytes). It should also be noted that both entries have corresponding articles in Italian Wikipedia, while Robert Romano has an additional interwiki in Swedish Wikipedia. Moreover, List of supporting characters in ER has no character detail for any of its entries, thus depriving Wikipedia readers of all plotline history research contained within the original articles. All WP:PRODs and banners (that one may see appended to entries of numerous fictional characters) proclaim similar "original research", "general notability", "real-world context", "too long or excessively detailed" fault-findings which should be attended with judicious editing, rather than wholesale deletion. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 21:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment The 'discernible reason' this was examined and then nominated is because I came across it while looking through CAT:NN; but that has nothing to do with the notability or otherwise of this character. It was also not nominated because it needs cleanup; that's irrelevant too. It is also not hugely relevant that the article List of supporting characters in ER (which is not the article I suggested as best redirect) has limited detail. That article (or any) could be expanded, or this article could merge to an article - but not that one as it doesn't mention Robert Romano. All of that is just fluff - does this meet WP:NOTABILITY guidelines? That is what we should be focused on. Boleyn (talk) 22:32, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- The "no discernible reason" reference was made in relation to the unexplained singling out for WP:PROD/redirecting of this particular character among the 26 characters listed at Category:ER (TV series) characters. Are we to assume that the other 25 characters are, indeed, notable, or that we have not gotten around to them as yet, or that nominating all 26 at once would be excessively burdensome? The nomination did, indeed, suggest redirecting Robert Romano to Cast of ER, which is another article with extremely limited or non-existent character detail, but the reason for mentioning List of supporting characters in ER was that the previous (over three months ago, on April 1) deletion/redirect of an ER character, Michael Gallant, was to List of supporting characters in ER, not to Cast of ER. It should be noted as a relevant detail that unlike this nomination, which provides opportunity for a discussion, the Michael Gallant article, which had existed since June 2006, consisted of 7,863 bytes (including a detailed infobox), and still has a corresponding article (with photograph) in Italian Wikipedia, was deleted/redirected without a discussion, although it was not tagged for WP:Speedy Deletion. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 00:26, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

- Comment. You can assume whatever you'd like, Roman. Me, I figure the problem is time. It would be great to delete all of the fan-cruft at once. But we can't. It would be great to apply judicious editing to trim down in-universe, original fan-written essays from every needed article, all at once. But time prevents everything from happening all at once. Further, we're obliged to evaluate each subject and article on its own merits and proceed from there. -- Mikeblas (talk) 02:08, 6 July 2015 (UTC)

- I don't really see a problem. If I do, really, it's just your own decision framework. You've categorized people into two groups, then you've decided that people each of those groups always behave in a certain way. If you believe people only behave in a certain way, then you're not going to accept any evidence that they don't behave their certain way. That's what you're doing here: denying that someone who you think is in one of your self-declared groups isn't behaving in the way you think that group behaves, and leaving no room for the possibility that your categorization and presumption is simply incorrect. -- Mikeblas (talk) 13:26, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Not notable, does not pass WP:GNG. The references appear to be anything found on the web that mentions subject, and do not support most of the article. Specifically, the first three references pertain to the subject's father, the fifth and sixth appear to be some legal issue he was involved in, the seventh is the annual report of a charity he supported, and the eighth is a directory listing that doesn't seem to mention him.

Stanley has performed a lot and been interviewed a lot, but there are no reliable, independent, secondary sources demonstrating notability. The majority of his cited performances were seemingly during a brief period of popularity around 2011. The only argument I can really see for notability is WP:NMUSIC item #12, "has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.". But I am not sure I would classify his appearances as substantial and they certainly don't meet WP:ENTERTAINER. 217IP (talk) 03:15, 27 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: I have discussed WP:GNG guidelines with some others and feel I better understand the intentions behind it now.

Does not appear to be a notable genre of music.

- Weak delete. From the video games commentator side, the article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources (?) with no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. As a YouTube celebrity, there are a few short articles and several British papers refer to him in passing as a "star" or "celebrity". He caused quite an uproar at a charity event. He appears best known for a viral video about WWE finishing moves and related videos about WWE, FIFA, and being a public nuisance. From the reputable, non-tabloids, though, there isn't much coverage apart from that he made popular videos online. When Weller may have YouTube hits, but we can't feasibly write an article about him until he is covered by secondary, reliable sources—otherwise it's all primary sources, as his WP page currently is. There are no worthwhile redirect targets. Please ping me you find more (non-English and offline) sources. – czar 15:23, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Does not meet notability per WP:ANYBIO - neither his career in the shipping industry nor his mountaineering are part of an enduring historical record in their respective fields. He has obits that discuss his business and personal life, but his notability in those obits mostly seems to do with being tremendously wealthy and previously married to Diana Ross.

- Keep Clearly notable. Meets WP:NACTOR #1 as a regular in Coronation Street (the most watched programme on British Television) plus a number of other high profile UK soaps/dramas. (I don't quite know where User:Joseph2302 looked but when I checked IMDb, all of the programmes were included). Meets WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR #2 from the extensive National tabloid interest shown in the first couple of pages of search results from Google - The Daily Mail, The Daily Express, Daily Star (British newspaper) and The Daily Mirror (see e.g. [17]). RichardOSmith (talk) 14:21, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- I just read the first few lines of IMDb, which didn't list any of those as his most notable achievements. Also, all those "newspapers" are just tabloids, I wouldn't consider any of them reliable sources. Just being on Coronation Street doesn't make them notable. Joseph2302 (talk) 14:31, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- I don't believe the reliability (or not) of the tabloids is relevant here - the mere fact that they are talking about him affirms that he is notable. As to whether being on Coronation Street et al makes him notable: WP:NACTOR says that someone who "has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions" is notable, so apparently it does. RichardOSmith (talk) 14:53, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

- Very selective Merge to Blackface: a lot of the important content here is already in the main article on blackface. Of the stuff not already there, the material about Fred Armisen playing Obama is notable[18][19] and could be merged. Some of the rest is trivial, mentioning people who don't wear blackface, not contemporary (The Goodies episode was broadcast in 1977 while The Black and White Minstrel Show was still on TV, while The Life of Brian was released only a year after The Black and White Minstrel Show finished production), or not normal blackface (e.g. if it's done for satirical comments on past traditions of minstrelsy, then that isn't really the same thing as classical blackface, which is a caricature of blackness), though it can still be mentioned in the article blackface if it gets media coverage). There's also not clear list criteria: the lede mentions 1990s or later, but the Goodies and Monty Python examples are well before that. Colapeninsula (talk) 14:52, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

- WP:SMERGE per Colapeninsula, though I'd be equally satisfied with outright deletion. There are numerous problems with this list, the first of which is it implies that there are comedians who "use" blackface as a practice, when most of the entries are merely one-off roles and not in any way typical of their bodies of work. Second, "contemporary", as noted above, is meaninglessly vague in this context. Third, this list equivocates the looser meaning of "blackface", which just means someone not black portraying themselves as such in a role, with the historic practice of blackface, which was a very specific kind of performance and costuming by comparison that was based on racial caricature. All of this together makes this collection of examples at best trivia, at worst misleading and indiscriminate WP:SYNTH. postdlf (talk) 17:22, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

WP:BLP, written as a campaign brochure and relying entirely on a deadlinked primary source with no reliable source coverage in sight, of a person notable only as a municipal councillor in a city not large enough to give its municipal councillors (or, with a population of 25K, even its mayors) a free WP:NPOL pass just because they exist. Also WP:COI, as the original creator was User:Dmishio and the most substantive editor since has been User:DMConsulting. As always, Wikipedia does not grant a presumption of notability to all city councillors in all cities — we do so only for metropolitan global cities on the order of Toronto, New York City or London, while in any smaller city a municipal councillor must pass WP:GNG on the basis of enough sourcing to demonstrate that their notability extends beyond the purely local.

The result was no consensus. Just about every type of outcome has been suggested in this discussion. Most of the !votes are guideline/policy based. There is significant disagreement about whether or not source coverage about the subject fall into WP:BLP1E territory; some state this is so, others state that the subject has received coverage for additional matters, and some state that this is a borderline case. Many have suggested merging, along with several combinations of such (e.g. delete/merge, merge or delete, Keep or Merge and redirect, etc.). Ultimately, there is no consensus for any one particular action for the article. Further discussion can continue on its talk page. North America1000 00:44, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Falls neatly under WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTNEWS, as the overwhelming majority of the RS coverage 1) is about the recent controversy over Taylor's dismissal from Reddit and 2) came about in the past few days. It's very likely that the controversy as a whole is notable, and Taylor is only notable in relation to said controversy. A Google search for articles prior to June 30, 2015 comes up with this Adweek.com article, but not much else. A merge to Reddit#Controversies involving reddit, where the event is currently discussed, is my second preference to deletion. Mz7 (talk) 07:03, 4 July 2015 (UTC) Since this nomination began, the article has seen significant expansion with material that focuses mainly on Reddit. Given that, as well as the substance of the comments below, I now believe it makes a lot of sense to merge to Reddit rather than delete. For procedural reasons, this can be construed as a nomination withdrawal to join the merge camp. Since there are still outstanding "delete" !votes, this article shouldn't be speedily kept for this reason. Mz7 (talk) 04:21, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete, per nom. I am tempted to keep this around for now and wait a while to see if the chain of events escalates further, but I don't consider it likely that Taylor would ever meet the criteria for her own article. Richard Yetalk 09:14, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

- Delete Wikipedia is not a news archive, it's an encyclopedia. Her life up to the firing is absolutely not notable, and the firing itself is not notable. One could easily say "After an administrator was fired..." and it would make no difference to the understanding of the event. -- Sparkzilla talk! 03:34, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Sparkzilla, there is an Examiner.com article that goes into some detail about Taylor's work on Wikipedia on behalf of ID public relations prior to her hire by Reddit, but I understand that Examiner is not permitted as a reliable source, except in very specific circumstances. - 50.144.1.17 (talk) 12:04, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, if not redirect - New York Times, BBC and Forbes have reported about this person. Over 40 sources from BEFORE and after the firing. She was the go to person for the media and reddit and was it's public face. As for BLP1E that might apply but there's no event article and she's not low profile due to her being interviewed by the media. Only thing i can see is a merge to the Reddit article, the sources don't justify deletion, i'd prefer a keep but redirect comes next. GuzzyG (talk) 04:18, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete Everything notable about the event should be merged to Reddit#IAmA and AMA. She didn't warrant a separate article when she ran Reddit AMA's so I'm not sure how suddenly not running them makes her notable. A simple test: does her replacement that was named warrant her own bio article, too? I am presuming no. --DHeyward (talk) 08:26, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Hey, when the new york times, bbc and forbes report on you, it's not a leap as to why people would think you're notable. I wouldn't know the last bit, forbes didn't name a successor if they even have one yet. GuzzyG (talk) 08:32, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Fifteen minutes is not a reason for something as invasive a biographical article especially for something that is generally considered negative such as being fired and the likelihood that the article would long outlive its use as a vehicle for protest. Fifteen years from now, Google's replacement will return her name and the associated firing. It's not fair to her to invade her privacy like this over a single event. Either reditt will be a commercial success (remembering will be that this was a good decision) or failure (there is no memory, ask any former Digg director of Communication). This is a close cousin to doxxing and while news will fade, WP articles stay. We don't even know why she was fired. And yes, a person has been named her interim replacement. It's the event and the reaction by Redittors that is notable, not the person. --DHeyward (talk) 12:45, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

- Merge to Reddit. The sources in which she's speaking on behalf of Reddit do not speak to her notability as they aren't about her. She's speaking as the corporate entity that is Reddit. As I don't think the recent events are notable as events, it seems like those too merit merging into the main Reddit article. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:47, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Merge to Reddit#Controversies involving reddit. I'm a redditor, and as much as I'd like to see her become positively notable enough for an article she's not there yet. She's certainly notable enough to be mentioned in the Riddit article, but WP:BLP1E applies here.

- Comment - I think the merge camp makes a lot of sense. Carrite (talk) 18:17, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep: She was basically the interface between the world of famous people and the people using /r/IAmA and helped organizing thousands of these interviews. Notability is clearly giving by both that and by news coverage of her. That might not be normal for PR people and I understand that, but it's different in this case. Once again, she helped organize a new form of interview / star-citizen communication that millions used. A removal would be an ignorant, subjective and consensus-neglecting decision. --Fixuture (talk) 21:05, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Three conditions have to be met for WP:BLP1E but it seems that this is not a low-profile individual and that their role is quite central to the stories now running. So, BLP1E does not apply. And there is international coverage by mainstream media - I was reading about this in The Guardian myself the other day - and so the topic is quite notable. Andrew D. (talk) 22:26, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

- Merge/redirect to Reddit#Controversies involving reddit, as the vast majority of the reliable, non-trivial (i.e. not one sentence with "reddit spokesperson Victoria Taylor said this") sources are about the recent incident, thus making her fall under WP:BLP1E. ansh666 23:16, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

- Redirect to Reddit for now Apart from some of the current information, it's mostly for Reddit specifically the controversy and attention is imaginably received because of the media and social media expanding word of it. The article is neat and sourced but there's not much for solid independent notability at this time. It's worth noting I was almost going to be bold and redirect this myself based on the votes above. SwisterTwister talk 04:09, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Merge into the reddit controversies section if it exists. Also, Im sure there has been stealth canvassing going on at reddit, because they sure enjoy discussing these talk pages as they did here. It's a cause for concern because such an extensive website can influence the outcome of this poll. Buffaboy talk 05:39, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right. There may be other stealth canvassing going on, but this Reddit post was noted earlier and in the {{not a ballot}} template. Mz7 (talk) 04:34, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, but merge much of the content into Reddit. Most of the material in this article is about Reddit in general rather than Taylor specifically. However, looking closely at the sources, I think there is enough here to justify a Wikipedia biography, even if we exclude the coverage related to the recent controversy. Taylor should have a brief, perhaps stub-sized article here, while the content about the AMAs etc. belongs in the main Reddit article. (Disclosure: for what it's worth, I am not a redditor. Well, I have an account but I've only used it about twice.) Robofish (talk) 23:43, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep — perhaps a borderline notability case before the recent events, but what's happened in the last week or so puts this article safely within the realm of notability, I think. It's true that Wikipedia is not a newspaper, but this article isn't about an event and discusses more than just the recent firing. WP:BLP1E might apply if the article were solely about Victoria in light of her being fired, but it also describes the important role she held at Reddit prior to that happening. More content about her time at Reddit before being fired would definitely be a welcome addition, that said. dalahäst (let's talk!) 03:56, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not sure if a majority of the content and the sources are truly about the role she held at Reddit more than they're about Reddit, with Taylor speaking in her role as a spokesperson. The latter case speaks to rather questionable independent notability, in my opinion. Mz7 (talk) 04:27, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep — Someone like her will probably get another high profile job, allowing this article to continue having readers and editors. I, for one, will certainly keep checking it until Victoria or someone else reveals what really happened when she was fired. Connor Behan (talk) 01:39, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Strong keep - her paid editing is only recently coming to light, which is quite likely to be another incident. And she'd be notable as the person who helps--whoops, helped--put on AMAs, anyway. Red Slash 02:05, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Tentatively keep and see if this forms into a substantial, interesting article over the months ahead. No need to start rushing to judgement and nuking things from orbit before they have a chance to grow. This whole affair could turn into something interesting, but it might not. Let's just wait and see. Vranak (talk) 02:28, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Conversely, there's no rush to create an article either. A lot of nominations come through AfD where the subject could potentially become notable in the future, but at the moment, it's too soon. One thing we sometimes do as an alternative to deletion for those articles is to incubate the articles in the Drafts namespace. However, I have never seen any policy, guideline, or past precedent in which an article was kept solely on the grounds that the subject "could turn into something" notable. It's not our job to predict the future—see WP:ATA#CRYSTAL. If and when Taylor becomes sufficiently independently notable for a standalone article in the future, I would support recreating the article. Mz7 (talk) 04:28, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Good points. I would counter them to say that in borderline cases, as this seems to be, it's a little mean, almost vindictive, to be destroying people's work if it happens to be well-researched, well-written, and reasonably interesting to a normal Wikipedia reader who doesn't have a vested interest in the matter. Again, this is a borderline case. The article as it stands isn't exactly the most riveting read, its big-picture importance does not jump out at you, but then again it isn't absurdly irrelevant to contemporary life either. In any event I would want to err on the side of not rudely deleting people's good faith efforts, that turns people off the entire project and may leave them a little bitter, or even a lot. Of course obvious contraventions of core Wikipedia policy must overrule this Carebear desire to protect people's esteem, I do understand that. But this is not an obvious case. Vranak (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks. I totally get where you're coming from. As a matter of fact, current Wikipedia deletion policy states that we do and should err on the side of "keep" in cases where there is a doubtful consensus to delete, and it also states that alternatives to deletion, like improving or merging, are preferable to deletion itself. I too hate to see time and effort go all the way down the drain—it's certainly not helpful for editor retention. (But it's important to remember that it's sometimes unavoidable if our goal is to create an encyclopedia.) And all of this is part of the reason why I changed my stance from delete to merge. By merging the article, we're not completely eliminating all of the content that took effort to create—we're just moving the content to somewhere where it's more suitable at the moment. The former page will still be accessible through the page history, so all authors will be credited properly. Mz7 (talk) 20:29, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Of course obvious contraventions of core Wikipedia policy must overrule this Carebear desire to protect people's esteem, I do understand that. But this is not an obvious case. Vranak (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Conversely, there's no rush to create an article either. A lot of nominations come through AfD where the subject could potentially become notable in the future, but at the moment, it's too soon. One thing we sometimes do as an alternative to deletion for those articles is to incubate the articles in the Drafts namespace. However, I have never seen any policy, guideline, or past precedent in which an article was kept solely on the grounds that the subject "could turn into something" notable. It's not our job to predict the future—see WP:ATA#CRYSTAL. If and when Taylor becomes sufficiently independently notable for a standalone article in the future, I would support recreating the article. Mz7 (talk) 04:28, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep: There are several sources discussing the subject before the particular incident. Esquivalience t 04:13, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- merge to the incident list on Reddit per WP:BLP1E (even if strictly not 100% applicable here). While there are some sources discussing her before this incident, not enough to pass WP:GNG. Because of this, merging for now seems the best option - the article can always be recreated later if/when new sources emerge about her and not Reddit. Mdann52 (talk) 07:28, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep or Merge and redirect: The content is notable and has many sources, but this may be a case of WP:BLP1E. Blaylockjam10 (talk) 07:33, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- 'Keep, too important of an event in Reddit's history that nearly 100% hinged on Victoria Taylor's persona in the unfolding of events of the AMAgeddon. Note: I do have a conflict of interest as an active participant ('Redditor') on the reddit site. 90.2.141.89 (talk) 12:33, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Like it says on top of this page this is not a general vote. You must provide a valid argument that abides with Wikipedia's core content policies. As you said yourself that you have a conflict of interest I'm afraid your reasoning might not be considered as a valid a point when arriving at a consensus. -- Chamith (talk) 19:50, 9 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete/merge For the reasons given by the nominator. She is primary known for her role in the recent Reddit event. The only sources I could find were her in relation to Reddit. And most(if not all) of the references before July 2nd are not primarily about her, they only mention her or involve talking to her... about Reddit. And her involvement in those sources is expected of her job position. That's why I believe she is only notable for that one event. She's just an average employee of Reddit, it's not like her former co-workers of the same level also have articles.
- Side note - If her article get's keep'd I think some things should be taken out that aren't necessary, and have the one of the founders of Reddit, Steve Huffman's, article expanded. Her article is longer than his puny eight sentence article, and something about that doesn't feel right to me. I might expand it in the future so if anyone wants to help me out let me know. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 02:11, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, and a word about quality. There is a line in there which cites five articles claiming that Reddit mods closed shop in protest after her firing... each of which is a shining example of clickbait synthesis. I respect that we are working with what the media is reporting, but that's not even remotely accurate; any redditor-Wikipedian will be able to point to a number of threads in which moderators explain that, in the aftermath of Taylor's firing, they were forced to close for logistical reasons. So-called journalists have made it out to be a protest because people click titles like, "Reddit is tearing itself apart." If these are the "sources" we're citing now, I don't want to live on this planet anymore. --Moralis (talk) 22:15, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
- Well that wouldn't explain why the other subs shut themselves down as well though. Also note that there's no need to set a subreddit to private when AMAs can't work for logistical reasons: the mods could have just left it open as usual, simply suspending the AMAs. A more correct way to describe it would probably be "in protest and because they relied on Taylor for their functioning". If possible please edit these parts of the articles appropriately. --Fixuture (talk) 22:52, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

- Keep Reddit doen't catch my interest at all, but when sober news outlets are flooded with stories about the unexplained firing of a very depended-upon employee and the aftermath, I wanted to find out who she was and what were her particular attributes and skills that made her stand out from others in her position. Questions about notability might well have attached to Ellen Pao, actually. No Wikipedia article appeared for her until she filed the discrimination lawsuit which she lost. Given the reports of Taylor's talents and interpersonal skills, she is quite likely to appear in other roles before too long. NoOneAsked (talk) 16:27, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, or merge and redirect. This article is borderline BLP1E, but the reason why I veer towards keep is the content is worth keeping and it would be both awkward and impossible to keep it all in the Reddit article, so let's use our common sense here. I have no dog in this fight - although I'm a reddit moderator I regarded the whole imbroglio with amused aloofness.--greenrd (talk) 21:00, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

One year old student-founded charity that comprehensively fails the criteria at WP:ORG. This has been the subject of multiple speedy deletions for copyvio, blatant advertising, etc. in both draft and article space [21], [22]. It has been created yet again with no change except shortening and close-paraphrasing the copyvio. (I have removed the "Missions" and "Principles" sections). Note that the references are to general articles about hunger and food waste in India, not this organization. The only mentions appear to be in student newspapers and a self-written blurb on social.yourstory.com. I can find nothing better. It needs an AfD result to prevent further attempts at recreation. Given the utter failure of the article's creator to understand or engage with the issues and their determination to continue recreating this article, I also recommend salting this. Voceditenore (talk) 06:26, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
Note re the copyvio. The text pasted into this article and its previous versions is double copyvio. When checking for copyright infringement in the previous versions, I discovered that virtually all the text on their website (feedingindia.net) is actually copied verbatim from other websites for food banks in the US (affiliated to Feeding America) and the website of the Delhi NCR FoodBank. This includes their "Mission" and "Principles" and their exposition on food wastage in India. Just one example of many, compare Feeding India and Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.

- Might not be a hoax: The "Emperor Gani" that this article is about may have actually existed. In a book by Laurence Waddell, someone known as "Emperor Gani" and someone known as "Gani" are mentioned many times, see here. They might be related. Check out page 708 of a PDF version to see an example. Also check out the "Indus-Valley seals" section of Waddell's article, I believe that is what this article may be referring to.

- Delete -- The article on Waddell makes it clear that his views have not been accepted by reputable later scholars. The Guni in his chonology is the same person as Sargon, whom he identifies with the Vedic Sagara. It is conceivable that he had picked up some proper sources, but if he had, I would have expected his work to have been followed up by later scholars; and apparently, it has not been. He boldly tried to make links between different civilisations, but their non-acceptable means that we must treat his work as WP:FRINGE. What somewhat surprises me is that some of his work is apparently being kept in print. Perhaps I am being too pessimistic about his work. Peterkingiron (talk) 09:07, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

I cannot find anything other than Wikipedia mirrors. A search here also comes up with nothing. You'd think they'd have a telephone number if nothing else. The only other mention I've come across is this slide show (slide 26). Could they have simply taken that from this article? Also suspicious is the original revision, which makes unlikely assertions; delivery of any book you may want? Adam9007 (talk) 00:39, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Comment: It is pretty suspicious that there's no mention of this anywhere except in Wikipedia mirrors. I agree that the slide show was likely based on information pulled from Wikipedia. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Amartya is a person's name and not a location so this article may just be referring to someone's private library. A search for "Amartya library" brings up nothing and a search for Amartya South Delhi (without quotation marks) predominantly brings up information for Amartya Sen, an individual person. Further searches for Amartya South Delhi library also brings up nothing to substantiate that this library exists. I'm leaning towards this being a hoax in that I don't see where this is a library in the traditional, non-personal sense. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:29, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- There is a chance that there are foreign language sources, but I largely doubt it since we'd get something with an English language search to back up that there's a library by this name and I'm finding nothing. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 04:30, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah... the original version of the page gives off the strong impression that it's either about a personal library or it's a joke page. I'll go ahead and delete this as A7 and G3 if you want, for the above reasons. If anyone really contests it or can show that it actually exists outside of someone's private library I'll re-open this, but at best this looks like a joke page someone made for themselves or a friend.
