No good indication of notability. YouTube videos aside, the only refs are two book reviews and an Amazon advert. Falls way below the standard of WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   23:54, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep: If Kenner's Totally Out of Control isn't notable for an article on Wikipedia, than nothing magic-related is... All the sources (besides the Amazon one) are all notable, established magic sources who's only link just happens to be through YouTube videos. I know this because I'm a professional sleight of hand artist. I also think everyone should bare in mind that finding sources for magic, cardistry or sleight of hand is very different than finding historical sources, for instance.

  • Comment: Here's a rundown of the sources:
Sources
  1. Scribd. This is a merchant source, since Scribd is selling the book. Merchant sources are almost never usable as a source in any context since their primary goal is to sell the consumer something and using it on Wikipedia can be seen as an endorsement of the site or product. It's used in the article to back up the David Copperfield claim, but the problem here is that Copperfield would be a WP:PRIMARY source at best if we wanted to quote the book since he was approached to write the foreword. As such, he's not a neutral source to comment on the book. It's highly unlikely that he'd write something negative.
  2. Vanishing Magic. This is another merchant source. It's used to back up the claims that the book has a cult following. Since they're trying to sell the consumer something (or were at some point in time), they're going to say things to make the book appealing. It might be a cult classic, but we can't rely on the merchant site to back up these claims.
  3. YouTube. YT videos are sort of a grey area. You first need to be able to prove that the uploader owns the rights to the video, then you need to prove that this would be a reliable source. I haven't gone through the video entirely yet (offhand it looks to be a general discussion of the library, not of any specific book), but I will say that inclusion in a library does not automatically mean that a book is notable enough for an entry, at least not at this point in time. At this point it's used as an exclusionary tool in that we can say that if a book isn't in any libraries, it's unlikely to have any sources. If it is in a library, then that makes it likely that sources will exist but will be neither a guarantee nor notability giving in and of itself.
  4. YouTube. Same issue here. Both of these videos seem to be used more to back up the claims for Kalush and aren't really being used to show how the book specifically is notable. I also get the impression that it's trying to say that the book is notable because this is where Sybil was first written about for the first time. This isn't necessarily something that would give notability since you would still have to show where this was notable by way of independent and reliable sources specifically discussing the book.
  5. YouTube, Wired. Same issues, we need to be able to explicitly show that this is about the book.
  6. YouTube, Kenner. Interviews are tricky. Sometimes they can be usable for notability, but you need to show that the people publishing the interview could be used as a reliable source. What makes it unlikely that Theory11 would be usable is because they are a merchant source. A look at their website shows that they sell cards. This doesn't really make them the greatest of sources, to be honest.
  7. Amazon. Another merchant source. One thing to mention about this is that it's being used to back up claims that the book is rare and expensive. You can't use things like this to back that up because prices on merchant sites like that are entirely set by the seller and book prices are one of those things that rarely show notability for a work. An especially rare or pricey book can make it more likely that there will be coverage, but it's far from a guarantee.
Basically, none of these sources are particularly strong at first glance. Only a few of the YT sources are potentially usable and I'm only saying that because I haven't had the chance to really look at them yet. I have a strong suspicion that if the book is mentioned, it's mentioned in passing or not mentioned at all. If you're trying to assert notability for a specific act then that's the sort of thing that would best be covered in an article about the magician rather than the book. This is partially because it's usually easier to assert notability for a person rather than one of their works. What we need here are things like reviews of the work itself and citations in reliable sources. YT sources in general are usually greatly depreciated on here because anyone can upload a video (meaning that there are questions about editorial control, oversight, and other typical WP:RS concerns) and copyright issues tend to be a common problem. Unless the people/person uploading the videos are extremely well known and reliable, they're usually seen as trivial or unusable sources.
Now I'm aware that this is in a niche genre and as such, will be unlikely to really have a lot of coverage. However it's still necessary for an article. That's why it might be a better idea to create an article for the magician himself rather than keep an article for the book. I haven't made up my mind yet and I still have to really look at the sources, but so far the sourcing here is fairly weak. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:12, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • So far I've found one source, but it'd be a good one to establish that Kenner himself is a notable figure rather than notability for the book. It discusses his Sibyl card move and does mention the book, but only briefly. It may not do much for the book, but it does show that he's influential. If I can find a few more for him in general, I'll try to make an article for Kenner and support a redirect there. So far though, this doesn't really do an awful lot to show that the book specifically is notable. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:18, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • As you mentioned, this is subject is somewhat niché and precisely because of that, I feel that these specific YT sources are perfectly acceptable. If you wish, I'll post the exact minute Totally Out of Control is mentioned in all of them. Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 12:14, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've added yet another reliable source, "Quality Magic Books". I think it's pretty clear the book is notable now... Jonas Vinther • (Click here to collect your price!) 17:29, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Quality Magic Books looks to be a database at best and I can't really see anything about their editorial oversight when it comes to the reviews they post. That the About Us page links to a website where people can purchase things mentioned on QMB doesn't really help either. The conference link would be considered a WP:PRIMARY source at best, since bios of this nature are almost always written by the person or their representative and Kenner would be linked to the conference because he was involved with it to some degree. The Bicycle Cards doesn't really help either. I'd consider it a potentially usable RS when it comes to an article about the author, but it wouldn't be usable to show notability for the book itself, as it doesn't actually mention the book at all. It mentions the cut, but not the book. This might have been where it was first published, but that doesn't automatically mean that the book is notable. To be very honest, I think that your energy would be far better spent writing an article about Kenner himself rather than trying to rescue the article for the book. The basic info about the book can be covered in an article about Kenner and while I know that this isn't your ideal, this would still mean that the book's information would be on Wikipedia somewhere rather than an outright deletion.Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:07, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see that you have created an article, so my suggestion is that this redirect to Chris Kenner (magician) with history. If sources ever do become available in the future they can be added and restoration sought, but right now I just don't see where the book is independently notable outside of Kenner. He is the creator of a notable card flourish, but books do not automatically become notable because it is the first place something is mentioned for the first time. It can make it more likely that there will be coverage, but it's never a guarantee. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:10, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I think that the suggestion by Tokyogirl79 to consolidate this in a biographical article makes sense. This article is always going to look promotional as currently written but within a wider context it might be fine.  Velella  Velella Talk   17:44, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete A book with only 30 magic tricks? Notable? You be kidding. I don't buy an argument that sleight of hand is a niche subject: it is simply not. - üser:Altenmann >t
  • You ... clearly... don't know what counts for "only" in the magic business. I've been introducing myself as a sleight of hand artist since 2009 whenever I perform, and not once have I ever experienced a person not saying, "a what artist?".

Autobiography for non-notable businessman. Notability isn't automatically inherited from his company (with its own article) and the articles' sources contain no in-depth coverage about himself. Ref #2 and #3 (via Internet Archive) are supposedly about his early career, but don't mention his role in the project. The short speaker summaries in ref 14-16 are routine mentions.

This is just a collection of trivial mentions of people not wearing pants on some occasion or other. The most notable claim, that it's "one of the fashion trends of 2010", is at the very least inflated--the article does list it, but only after five "real" trends are discussed, and then only in a long list: "Fringing, military details, leather, ruffles, sheer fabrics, animal prints, bows, clogs and lower heels, one-shoulder dresses, cycling shorts, jumpsuits, peplums, genie pants, fur shag coats, capes, pantsless-ness, plaids and checks, draping and knotting, lace tights, sweat pants, tattoos, bodysuits, body-con dresses, blazers and military jackets, vintage and chintz florals, miniskirts and mini-dresses". In other words, it's nothing. We really can't be writing up articles that collect trivia--and one wonders if this article really isn't just an excuse to put up pictures of girls without pants riding the subway (File:No Pants Subway Ride 2011 Seattle.jpg). Hits in Google Books are trivial, passing mentions; hits in JSTOR and EBSCO don't exist; Expanded Academic Index gives only one hit, where the word is jocularly used in a caption in Esquire.

  • It's a July 2014 WP:content fork of No Pants Day, an article whose history dates back to May 2005‎, by an administrator who should know better (permalink). Actually there was a history split in August 2014, I'm not sure what the deal with that was, but there really only needs to be one article on this topic. "Expanded scope of article" as if "pantlessness" was a normal condition, rather than a stunt celebrated on a single day each year for fun? Wbm1058 (talk) 20:05, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I see, Talk:No Pants Day#History split request. An RfD discussion ensued from the bold and disruptive page move to this title. A neologism? Wbm1058 (talk) 20:15, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/merge It seems that the edit history is entwined with that of No Pants Day and so we should be keeping it for attribution. No Pants Day seems to be a definite thing in the US but there's more to say about the global concept which is big in Japan, for example. See also sans-culottes for the French revolutionary take on this. And I, myself, created the article Donald Where's Your Troosers? which celebrates a True Scotsman... Andrew D. (talk) 20:46, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Andrew Davidson, I hope the devil pays you well for having you on retainer--you must be playing devil's advocate, which is always appreciated. But sans-culottes isn't even in the same ballpark in terms of significance (this concerns a bunch of jokers in their underwear comfortably riding the subway), and the Donald article has decent sourcing, including a real book from a real publisher. (You must admit the sourcing in this article is lousy, and there was even worse stuff in earlier versions.) I would not oppose a merge, I reckon. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 23:16, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • It should be noted that the sans-culottes were not pantsless, but instead wore pantalons -- what we would now call ordinary pants. -- The Anome (talk) 15:33, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • No, I would not call them ordinary pants; I'd call them trousers – I'm British, you see.

(talk) 16:03, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • My point is that the sans-culottes were neither pantsless (American) or trouserless (British). They were wearing pantalons. -- The Anome (talk) 16:35, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
            • The word pants is short for pantaloons; they are all much the same. Our article on the subject says that the French means "without pants" and so the title in question is a reasonable search term for this and other topics. Andrew D. (talk) 16:45, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
            • I can't quite believe we're having this discussion here, but see culottes for the difference. Note that all the sans-culottes in all the contemporary pictures are wearing trousers. It just goes to show you shouldn't believe everything you read on Wikipedia. I've amended the sans-culottes article appropriately. -- The Anome (talk) 16:50, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Andrew Davidson: "Pantslessness" is still a neologism as it's not an accepted word. Not everything is better converted to a noun title if that noun is essentially made up, even if using the common format -ness suffix for -less words (ie awarelessness, hammerlessness, motivationalessness etc.).

  • Keep - seriously? female fighter pilots in WWII were rare. The reason for the "same routine coverage as all Soviet era female pilots" is because they are all celebrated as heroes. She shot down three planes and fought during the Battle of Stalingrad. Nom apparently ignorant of the huge gigantic significance of the Battle of Stalingrad that still exists today. She had additional focus as her remains and wreckage were not discovered until 1982.[1] She was given a burial with an obelisk. She has a street named after her in the city near where she was found. There was a book published about her in 1985 and she's featured in a book about female fighter pilots. Shameful nomination. МандичкаYO 😜 21:59, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep article about her in Russian is solidly referenced, so what is good for them is good for others, even americans, I should say. And my opinion has some weight, as personally I should regard those fighters pilots, female or other, as enemies who tried to kill my grandparents, well, not her personally, but colleagues. (Bombing of Tallinn 9 March 1944; there was rumor that to celebrate Women's Day this bombing was done by female pilots; nice thought but historically untrue.) But as good historian I respect my enemies and give them all credit of being war heroes/heroines. - Same goes about another deleted article about Claudia smth... Claudia Nechayeva. Клавдия Андреевна Нечаева, russian article about her is in good order, or looks like, and their colleagues. I'd rather prefer them to have separate articles, even short ones, not to merge into one like 'female soviet pilots' or even their Regiment 586 (полк № 586) - what, actually, might have separate article. Russian wikipedia does not, unfortunately, maybe because they all have separate articles. BirgittaMTh (talk) 22:33, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

But, since the teams haven't yet gained enough popularity to be notable in Wikipedia, the teams should be merged with the tournament and season page.

Tagged for notability and other concerns for quite some time, the article subject has requested deletion. After a preliminary search I have not found sources which would demonstrate notability under WP:ARTIST or WP:BASIC, although I am mindful of one claim made in the previous AfD. --joe deckertalk 16:47, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete When I was working on the article about her mother (Mary Jane Phillips-Matz) in 2013, I stumbled on this article in quite a disastrous state (basically, a pasted-in CV). The following is what I wrote on Talk:Clare Ann Matz in 2013 and it still applies now...
"I have extensively edited this article for encyclopedic style and tone, and added as many references as I could find. However, not only are many of the claims unsupported, there is nothing here that indicates the subject meets our notability guidelines. The references which are in the article merely confirm with name listing certain minor TV presenting jobs, the authorship of a few articles in not particularly notable publications, performance announcements, etc. I can find no reviews of any of her work and no evidence that anyone has actually written about her. The claim to having exhibited at the Venice Biennale is not quite what it seems, and was definitely misunderstood at the AfD for this article. She was simply a performance artist, one of a very large group, who presented a performance as part of the Biennale program. I'm afraid if no further references can be found showing substantial and significant coverage of this subject, it will be brought to AfD again."
Given that and the subject's request, deletion is appropriate in this case. Voceditenore (talk) 17:27, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete.

I fully understand and even agree with the desire to speedy it, but I'm not sure I see a speedy criterion it can actually be done on — although we could conceivably stretch G11 (advertising/promotion) slightly to accomodate promotion of a viewpoint rather than a commercial product or entity, I'm not quite comfortable enough to do that myself (though I wouldn't object if somebody else wanted to pull that trigger.)

I'm also aware that some teachers require some sort of proof that the student performed the work, so this is also a factor. I will note, however, that Leto's role is already mentioned at Dallas_Buyers_Club#Reception, but this could be expanded somewhat to encompass some things that aren't in the article or aren't fully explored.

Nevertheless, I tried, and all I could find were copies of the press release anouncing its launch and sources merely noting its availability.

Helloworld is a super brand created by merging Harvey World Travel, Travelscene, Jetset and Travelworld.", [6] - Jetset Travelworld will launch a new retail network called helloworld in a move that is likely to spell the end of its existing brands. from Travel Weekly (Australia) of 22 July 2013 - "Harvey World Travel, Travelscene, Jetset and Travelworld will be replaced with helloworld, with JTG expecting the first stores to adopt the new brand in the final three months of the year.", [7] - Family firm alters travel brand from The Newcastle Herald of 12 January 2014 - "THE well-known chain of Harvey World travel agencies run by Newcastle’s Pearson family has come under the wing of getaway juggernaut Flight Centre.". ps.

I came across this article as an A7, but the article asserts that the band has performed with notable persons/groups. That's enough to give a weak assertion of notability, enough to where A7 doesn't entirely fit. A search, however, doesn't show where this band would pass notability guidelines as a whole. I found some routine mentions of local performances, but not really anything about the group itself. Other than that, the only thing that they really received coverage for is a rock concert they launched the same year they created the band.

If anyone can find coverage then I'm willing to withdraw, but I just can't seem to really find good evidence of notability. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:41, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The only coverage I found was the news article on the charity concert already cited in the article. The article states that the band 'shared the stage' with some notable bands. 'Shared the stage' is a phrase that should be banned from Wikipedia as it generally just means someone played a support slot at a concert featuring someone more notable. --Michig (talk) 10:51, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We have never in recent years treated them as RSs for notability , though like similar cvs, they are usable for uncontested routine biographical facts. He is not head of a major company; he i head of a geographic division of a major company, though it is possible that the copany is important enough that the heads of such divisions might be notable, but ti cannot be assumed. The article contains unsourced adjective of praise eg "famous. The Harvard Business Review item is a book review ofa book he is one of three coauthors--it can contribute to notability but by itself it does not prove it. The books itself is not notable or particularly important, WorldCat shows it in 88 libraries only [23]. Important books in this field are in many hundred. The book is not in the library of any major business school in the Northeast US--not Columbia, NYU,Harvard, Yale,Dartmouth, Cornell, nor in UChicgo, U Calif.

WP:NBOOK. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 13:59, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article was proposed for deletion, but another user removed the tag with the rationale: "Removed notice as numerous links establishing notability have been listed in the Talk page". There are six links given on the talk page. The first is a blog about Northern Ireland politics (Slugger O'Toole). The article in the Independent about Cybernats in general, rather than this book specifically. The third link (Common Space) is an interview of Stuart Campbell (the publisher of this book) about his activities during the Scottish referendum, while the fourth (The Herald) is a list of nominations for book of the year (with the WBB mentioned only in passing). The fifth is a political site effectively advertising the book and the sixth is an opinion piece in a Canadian newspaper about the referendum in general. None of these sources go into in-depth coverage of the book. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 14:09, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion below is copied from the article talk page Jmorrison230582 (talk) 17:20, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So what? Those which are are very prominent and widely-read blogs, far outstripping the readership of many newspapers. The others ARE newspapers, in addition to those already cited in the entry. If being nominated as one of the Books Of The Year by the Herald - the oldest continually-published newspaper in the world - doesn't count as "notable", clearly nothing is going to satisfy you. AlanLertreader (talk) 14:13, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So what? The point is that it does not satisfy WP:NBOOK, the notability guideline for books. Has it been subject to at least two non-trivial works in independent sources? No. Has it won a major literary award? No. Is it considered by independent sources to have made a significant contribution to a political movement? No. Is it taught in schools? No. Is the book's author especially notable? No. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 14:20, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
According to your personal interpretation. Other people's differ. If you'd like a very long list of coverage of the *author* in the press to establish their notability, I can certainly help you. But you could start with his own entry on Wikipedia. And since that, of course, wouldn't be there at all if he wasn't acceptably notable, you'd be pretty scuppered already. AlanLertreader (talk) 15:15, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You have clearly not read WP:NBOOK. The point about an "especially notable author" is that in some cases, you may have a very famous writer who has a lesser known work that does not satisfy the other guidelines. With all due respect, Stuart Campbell does not qualify as "so historically significant that any of the author's written works may be considered notable" (to quote the guideline fully). As the guideline goes on to say, the fact that Stuart Campbell is personally notable by Wikipedia's standards is not relevant. Instead, the point is that the book's author is of "exceptional significance and the author's life and body of written work would be a common subject of academic study" Again, Mr Campbell does not qualify on this basis. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:22, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I did read it. This bit seemed pertinent: "The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant motion picture, or other art form, or event or POLITICAL or religious movement." (My caps.) Numerous "reliable sources" have been listed to that effect. A million copies distributed among an electorate of just 4m is plainly significant by itself, even before considering the content. Your unexplained animosity is blinding you. AlanLertreader (talk) 16:59, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This deletion request seems politically-motivated, which goes against the spirit of Wikipedia. Regardless of anyone's feelings towards the content, the publication was clearly a notable part of the referendum debate, partly evidenced by the fact it is still a talking point thirteen months later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.1.245.202 (talk) 10:11, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AGF. Presumably if the book is such a "talking point" or a "notable part of the referendum debate", you would be able to provide evidence of this? Jmorrison230582 (talk) 10:30, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm. I can only agree this is a politically motivated request for deletion. The importance and influence of this one publication at the end of the referendum campaign is clear to anyone who was there. Oops, original research? Others have provided links. Those advocating deletion seem to be hanging their case on a disingenuous argument based on the fact that the bloody book was so much despised by the union-supporting media that they did their best to ignore it. Leave the article alone, it's not doing anyone any harm. The book isn't Animal Farm but it was easily significant enough for a Wikipedia entry. Morag Kerr (talk) 19:35, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If the book was that important, surely the parts of the media that were sympathetic towards independence (say the Sunday Herald) would have covered it? Or international sources, without an axe to grind? If it were that important, surely the pro-union media would have covered it to at least the extent of saying "this book is wrong and this is why"? WP:MERCY applies to the "it's not doing anyone any harm" plea. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 19:53, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Given the arcane, often seemingly trivial content seen elsewhere on Wikipedia (with all due respect) an entry for such a self-funded, self-published, mass appeal phenomenon during such an historic democratic exercise seems perfectly justified. Motivations for wanting its removal can only be guessed at. 86.145.101.87 (talk) 12:00, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"Or international sources, without an axe to grind?" They did, as per the example already linked. (ABC.es) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.237.203 (talk) 17:45, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Again, please assume good faith in other users. As for your arguments: "trivial content seen elsewhere" - other stuff exists; the fact it was self-funded and published is irrelevant. The crux of the argument for keeping the article is that the book had a significant impact on the Scottish independence referendum, 2014. You have not provided any evidence of this. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 12:07, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
A Book Of The Year nomination in a national newspaper is clear evidence of that, which for some reason you're dismissing out of hand as having been "in passing", despite such nominations being the entire and sole point of the article in question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.237.203 (talk) 13:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I see that while Jmorrison230582 has leapt within minutes on every other comment on this page, he's still got no retort to the above point a day later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.237.203 (talk) 11:32, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that I already addressed that above ("the fourth (The Herald) is a list of nominations for book of the year (with the WBB mentioned only in passing)"). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 11:42, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No you didn't, because as I noted above, saying it's "in passing" is a ludicrous statement when the *only purpose* of the article is to nominate books for the award. You haven't offered any counter to that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.237.203 (talk) 14:43, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The mention in The Herald ("Finally, Wings Over Scotland's Wee Blue Book is both iconic and of continuing value.") would only be relevant for one of two reasons per WP:NBOOK: if the book won a literary award (it didn't) or if the source talked about the book in some detail and depth (it didn't). Jmorrison230582 (talk) 15:00, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NBOOK stipulates, as has already been noted, that the required criteria include that "The book has been considered by reliable sources to have made a significant contribution to a notable or significant [...] event or political or religious movement." It further notes that only one of the criteria it lists is required for inclusion. Regardless of whether awards were won, regardless of the "depth" of coverage, that criterion seems to be more than amply satisfied by the numerous links posted.92.27.237.203 (talk) 17:53, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep The book has been mentioned by numerous newspapers at home, as well as the Wall Street Journal and other international publications such as the Canadian HuffPo. It is also mentioned as being important in perhaps the only book (as of yet) to seriously examine the 2014 referendum: Prof. Mike Gardiner's Time and Action in the Scottish Independence Referendum. Admittedly, the sourcing on the article could be improved, and currently the WBB probably only just satisfies the criteria set out by WP:Book, but I think we should keep it, or, if this debate closes as delete, merge it with Mr Campbell's entry.

  • Keep - I can see why this article was listed as an AfD, especially being written by a person who has been such a controversial figure. But there has been quite a bit of info added to the article itself, since it was nominated. The number of downloads of this book was huge (especially considering the penetration of the target audience, i.e. download figures per head of population) which occurred over just a one-month period between the book being published and the Scottish Independence referendum vote taking place. So, although it is a book relating to a very specific time period, it seems worthy of being kept. I reckon it passes WP:GNG or number 3 of WP:NBOOK where the event is the referendum itself.

Chittagong Madar Bari[edit]

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

This is a neighborhood, as stated in the poorly attended first deletion discussion. West Madarbari and East Madarbari are city council wards in Chittagong. West Madarbari and part of East Madarbari are in Double Mooring Thana. The remainder of East Madarbari is in Kotwali Thana.

There are no shortage of Google hits for Madarbari (filter out the village in India with -Assam), but they are mere mentions (e.g. "fire service responded to an incident in East Madarbari"). I couldn't find non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent reliable sources as called for by WP:GEOLAND.

Redirecting to the next most general level would be problematic because the neighborhood is spread over two thanas. It would have to redirect to Chittagong City Corporation or Chittagong. In any case, the article title, "Chittagong Madar Bari" is not a plausible redirect.

The only sourced fact in the article is that Mazharul Islam Chowdhury is councilor for Chittagong ward 30, East Madarbari. The unsourced remainder is useless. This is a case for WP:TNT. If someone wants to write two articles about the two legally recognized wards, fine, but this shambles of a neighborhood article is not a suitable starting point for that.

First of all, I was close to simply speedying as A7 considering there's not much and my searches found nothing better than this but as always I like AfDs especially when they carry weight in case this is restarted (G4). Next, the last AfD is completely outdated and unapplicable with Wikipedia certainly changing since 2006 so it would be helpful to have new comments. This article has existed since September 2005 with hardly ever improvement and their website suggests they are not better known with considerably better coverage.

It would seem to me that the assertions made in this article are not supported by reliable third-party sources.

It's 2015. If this asserted player of Esports started his playing professionally in 2006, it would seem reasonable that an e-trail in reliable gamer references would have followed his career.

At present there are six purported refeferences:

Keep A google search of sander kaasjager or Vo0 brings a up a multitude of reliable secondary sources not used in the article. For instance [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48][49][50][51][52][53][54] He is also discussed at length in TL Taylor's Raising the Stakes: E-Sports and the Professionalization of Computer Gaming --Prisencolin (talk) 16:18, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ref bombardment is not particularly helpful. Why are these sources reliable (not just blogs, if not already vetted at WP:VG/RS) and how much do they actually cover the subject? czar 04:49, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not going through all of the sources (some of them probably aren't the best i'll admit) [55]: From MTV so it should reasonably establish notability. [56] Red Bull seems to be an organiation dedicated to journalistic excellence so it looks alright. Vo0 is not the primary focus but its still enough imho. [57][58][59][60] are from the VG/RS search engine and are primarily focused on the player. The article in its current state is pretty horribly sourced and should be fixed.--Prisencolin (talk) 02:40, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

--Prisencolin (talk) 02:45, 26 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, looking through the sources given in the above ref bombardment, there seems to be more than enough to establish notability. MTV and Redbull are commonly used and I assume are reliable. The book and the BBC article also work well. The rest are of varying quality, but at least some of the Dutch sources (Tweakers in particular) are reliable. Oddly enough, the source from Gamersnet.nl and from Gamer.nl don't seem to be working correctly for me. However, I do suggest it to be moved to Vo0 per common name and article naming guidelines. ~Mable (chat) 15:03, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The event does seem to meet the standards for inclusion, as there have been multiple reliable sources reporting on the event. Robert, I will advise you that calling people "homophobes" as you did for opposing an article and believing it is worthy of deletion is considered a personal attack. Please be sure you read up on WP:NPA, s this kind of behavior is highly frowned upon here. While you feel very passionate about this article, be sure to keep a level head, and do not immediately throw out accusations of harassment or homophobia.

  • Keep The organization/event does meet the standards for inclusion, as there are multiple reliable sources reporting on the event. My apologies for believing from his profile that John is homophobic (I have deleted the reference). I have created two pages on Wikipedia, both about LGBT organizations, both under threat of deletion. This article about an organization of historic significance is being threatened with deletion due to lack of relevance and yet a mall here in Tucson isn't. This makes zero sense.

    • Except that Tucson Pride doesn't seem to be a local chapter of a national organization so I don't believe WP:BRANCH actually applies. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:55, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Per WP:NGO, under additional considerations, it states we should consider: Factors that have attracted widespread attention: The organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization should be considered to the extent that these factors have been reported by independent sources. As Tucson Pride is one of the oldest groups (almost 40 years old), that points to notability. They've manage to persist and organize successful events despite being in a largely anti-gay state. as noted here by The Advocate (a national publication).

  • The article needs more WP:RS, but a Gnews search reveals no shortage of prominent coverage. Easily meets WP:ORG. This requirement that T.P. receive coverage outside the state is not policy. This is not a local chapter of a larger entity; not a state chapter of something else, if even there are other groups elsewhere in the country (and the world) that use "Pride" in their organization or event name. Keep.. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:08, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Shawn in Montreal, you should read the subsection of ORG linked at AUD. Corp/Org is an exclusionary guideline, requiring a higher standard than GNG, unlike all the NPEOPLE standards, which offer a lower level of notability than GNG. This is a necessary guideline, lest every local five and dime qualify for an article. John from Idegon (talk) 02:32, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure what you're try to say but if you do a Google News search we do have enough coverage from reliable independent sources to meet any reasonable standard of GNG, including a photo essay from the national publication Advocate. As for this "local five and dime" thing, that's really just your personal sentiment. It's not policy and I remind you Wikipedia is WP:NOTPAPER.

Disputed Prod. We have no article for the ACoRP or for most of the members, and we have List of British heritage and private railways for those lines not included in the national lines or with their own article. The railway lines are important, the CRPs not so much (in general). No notability for the list subject. Fram (talk) 06:58, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The people proposing deletion do not seem to understand the subject. Community rail partnerships have nothing to do with Heritage and private railways. They are support groups for certain National Rail lines. Biscuittin (talk) 22:11, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Which is not a reason to keep the article, of course. Fram (talk) 15:25, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this is not anything to do with heritage railways and anyway this article could do with a revamp and possibly even a rename to something like List of community rail partnerships in the United Kingdom. For example, the Borders Railway is a community railway line. Proposed lines also do not count. Simply south ...... time, deparment skies for just 9 years 17:40, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Which still doesn't address the lack of notability for this list of CRPs. Yes, I shouldn't have mentioned heritage railways (the list didn't do a very good job of explaining what it was about anyway), but that it is about standard rail lines and not heritage rail lines doesn't change the reason for deletion, which neither of the keeps have so far addressed. Fram (talk) 18:47, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Community rail partnerships are special types of railway lines with an organisation on each line representing the communities they serve. Why would this not be notable? It would be too big to fit into community rail (and besides it is incomplete). How about List of train operating companies or List of railway bridges and viaducts in the United Kingdom. Each describes an important aspect of the UK rail system. Simply south ...... time, deparment skies for just 9 years 19:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • If it is an important aspect, shouldn't we at least have an article on ACoRP, and on some more of these members? Now neither the organisation nor the members have any evidence of being notable subjects, and a list of mainly non-notable members of a non-notable group has no place here. Even a list of notable members of a non-notable group has no place; without evidence that the ACoRP is a notable association, there is no reason to have a list of their members. Fram (talk) 21:01, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • Yes, there is an article on it as it is part of the community rail one. For the organisation itself, see here. It is sponsored by train operating companies and the government. See here. Simply south ...... time, deparment skies for just 9 years 21:20, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
            • So what you actually mean is not "yes..." but "No, we only have a short paragraph on it, with one primary source". Your links do again nothing to establish any notability. Fram (talk) 07:40, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

List of aircraft by tail number[edit]

List of aircraft by tail number (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)

What is the purpose of this list? It's not a list of all aircraft that have an individual article on Wikipedia, only those with a tail number. But it's hardly a logical characteristic to group articles by. Date, death toll (for the crash articles), manufacturer, ... all would make a lot more sense. The tail numbers are included in the individual articles and searching on them in the search box (or Google) works just fine, so this isn't needed for navigational purposes either (or does anyone want to access our articles in the order of this list? Seems unlikely, as it is a largely random order in most countries). At 118K, a lot of work must have gone into this list, but that's hardly a reason to keep it around. Fram (talk) 11:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Tail numbers are quite logical as IDs for people interested in aircraft; that's why the numbers are marked on the aircraft, rather like the way that ships have names. The list seems useful for navigation and generic search functions would not be so good as the tail numbers can be quite ordinary numbers, such as 101, which don't make good search keywords. As for the amount of work, that is a reason to keep this around. All that deletion does is make the list viewable by admins only and how does that help anyone? If we felt there was a better structure for this sort of data then there are more sensible alternatives to deletion, such as making it a draft, which wouldn't be so disruptive. Andrew D. (talk) 12:34, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Cars have license plates, but no one would order cars by license plates (as an encyclopedic list). And no, the amount of work is never a reason to keep anything around (nor to delete it, of course). Making it a draft is only useful if you (someone) is planning to do anything with it to solve the problems: it can't stay as a draft interminably, and it makes no sense to turn it into a draft only to put it back as is later. Fram (talk) 13:05, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • There are numerous topics for which codes or numbers are an appropriate form of index - examples include stars known only by a catalogue number; Mozart's works, which are referenced by their Köchel number; complex chemicals such as enzymes and genes; &c. The list in question is a list of notable individual aircraft, rather than a type of named aircraft design, and the registration number seems to be the best way of identifying these particular notable specimens. If there's a better way of doing this then let's hear it. As for cars, there may well be examples for which the licence plate is a good index. Gerald Nabarro used to be famous for having a car with the number plate NAB1. The blue link NAB1 takes us to a protein instead. Perhaps we need some disambiguation? Until we have all this data nicely organised, it's best to leave it where readers and editors can find it and that is mainspace. Andrew D. (talk) 13:28, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
        • Why do we need to organize these data though? A list of all articles on aircraft which have a tail number? That is an important list because...? What sets these apart from the aircraft with articles but without a tail number? You are creating a list of a random subset of the notable aircraft group, and haven't given a good reason for having a list for only this subset. Fram (talk) 13:35, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
          • This isn't a subset; it seems to be the main list of individual aircraft. The only other list of notable specimens that I can see is list of aircraft in the Smithsonian Institution and that is more clearly a subset. Per aircraft registration#International standards, an international convention was established quite early in aviation and so only the earliest models such as the Blériot XI would be before that. Andrew D. (talk) 14:13, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
            • That we don't have a full list doesn't mean that this isn't a subset. It is a subset of all aircraft with an individual article on Wikipedia, based on whether they have a tail number or not. That is a very poor defining criterium for a list. Fram (talk) 14:19, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
              • You're still not getting it. The point is not to list aircraft that happen to have a tail number because just about all aircraft have tail numbers. The point of the list is to index all individual aircraft for which we have articles. This list is then structured by military/civil and by country. It's only when you get to the country level that it then uses the registration number and that's because the registration number is the standard way of uniquely referencing the aircraft. You're not offering any better way of structuring this information. Andrew D. (talk) 15:12, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or move out of article space. Tail numbers are a useful and standard way to identify aircraft. They can be compared to ISBN numbers for books, authority control numbers for authors, or geographic coordinates for places. Perhaps a better way to organize this information would be as some sort of metadata associated with pages about aircraft. Someone who is more familiar with wiki metadata may be able to provide more information on how this could be done. Pburka (talk) 14:56, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • STRONG KEEP - Apart from tying aircraft by registration to relevant articles, this list serves a useful purpose in maintaining Wikipedia by keeping non-notable aircrashes out. This is facilitated by editors who watch this list, and scrutinise new entries whenever they are added to the list. Apart from helping readers to find articles, it also serves a useful editorial/maintenance purpose. What harm is it doing? Absolutely none that I can see. Mjroots (talk) 18:18, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Is there a content policy which says that content of value only to editors may be maintained in the main article space? The argument based on editorial value appears to fail WP:USEFUL because this list does not benefit the reader. See also WP:NOHARM. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 09:29, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep unless sourced with verifiable materials, otherwise weak keep - Where are the sources for this information? This is very technical info and should have sources we can review. References point to off line books and lists. I am unable to verify any of this content is even accurate. DangerDogWest (talk) 18:26, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@DangerDogWest: - the linked articles in the 3rd column are the references. Although in article space, this is not an article/list in the ordinary sense. I'm not sure what you mean by "References point to off line books and lists" but WP:V only requires that if a reference is given it is verifiable, not that you personally can verify it there and then.

Thanks, I found the references. I'll update my vote. DangerDogWest (talk) 19:45, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. Readers don't need this list: if you know the serial you can just type it in, if you don't then this list is far too long and cryptic to identify it. If every plane with its own article is to be listed somewhere for maintenance purposes, categories are expressly intended for this purpose. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 20:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC) [clarified 09:35, 31 October 2015 (UTC)][reply]

  • Rename List of individual aircraft and add time period, civilian/military, possibly some sort of measure of size/weight/capacity, etc. as well. The tail number is a bit of a red herring; it's just one small datum of the major information about each entry. Category:Individual aircraft and its subcategories encompass a couple of hundred articles, so it wouldn't be unmanageable. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:44, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • On second thought, leaning towards delete. Even if people searched by tail number (falling afoul of WP:USEFUL), this article is so chopped up into tables that it would be easier just using the search box. Most of the entries are airplanes that crashed, so List of individual aircraft would not be substantially the same list. I'll probably create that list regardless of the outcome of this Afd. I've created that list. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:49, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This list seems unnecessary, since a reader is unlikely to start with some tail number and want to go from there to an article about the airplane. I would also not want a list of addresses of notable people and organizations, or a list of ISBNs of notable books, or a list of license plate numbers or VIN numbers of notable vehicles, or a list of serial numbers of notable locomotive engines, or a list of inmate numbers of notable prison inmates. or a list of badge numbers of notable police officers. Not every list that could be created needs to be created. Edison (talk) 16:38, 6 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]
  • weak keep the article isn't optimal, and the sources are buried in the articles, but it could be improved. I know that tail numbering schema is in widespread use in the US, for example: N###UA is typical for United Airlines, N###AA is for American Airlines, etc. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:11, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete best reason I see for keeping is that it might be useful, does not seem to be though. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 22:15, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge with List of individual aircraft, adding a tail number column and country to the table in that article, as well as the airplanes that are currently in the List of aircraft by tail number but not in the List of individual aircraft. That way, it is possible to sort the information not only by tail number, but also by other criteria. Would be a pity to delete the valuable information gathered for this article.

I don't think this meets WP:GNG, especially the "significant coverage" part.

The convention has been operating for over thirty years, with multiple guests each year. The convention is a volunteer-ran organisation, and is the premier volunteer ran science-fiction literary convention in Chicago. The history, combined with average yearly "warm-body" attendance between 970-1120 each year and a notable list of guests, I would suggest that this convention's page should remain published and publicly viewable. As a further discussion point, do we - as a community of editors - have a list of standards to comprise "notable"? Lady Nhytefall (talk) 00:49, 31 October 2015 (UTC)Lady_Nhytefall[reply]

Capricon is currently in its 36th year and is the longest running 4 day sci-fi convention in the Chicago area. - marindad

Capricon is the second longest running convention in the greater Chicago area. The event to be held in Feb. 2016 will be the 36th annual convention. Capricon is the only four day convention in the Chicago area, and has an annual membership of approximately 1000 people. A sampling of notable past guests of honor at the convention include: Authors: Mike Resnick, Cory Doctorow, John Scalzi, Lois McMaster Bujold, Terry Pratchett, Larry Niven and Frederick Pohl Artists: John Picacio, Kaja Foglio, Les McClaine and Don Maitz Others: Tom Smith, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, Dr. Demento and Steve Hockensmith --pheltzer — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pheltzer (talkcontribs) 22:52, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pheltzer, It being the longest running 4-day convention is not very impressive if it is the only 4-day one. Membership and notable guest on their own is not enough to qualify for an article. Can you show that this convention meets the general notability guideline? Rainbow unicorn (talk) 00:41, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I believe using the guidelines from WP:ORGDEPTH, the following articles can be used to support the notability guidelines: Amazing Stories Magazine article, WGN tv coverage of the Capricon 34, Web Series "The Con Men", FunctionalNerds Podcast about Capricon 35, Chicago Now Capricon Recap, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pheltzer (talkcontribs) 01:48, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing Stories source is not independent, writer was asked to participate in a panel there, he accepted it and wrote about the experience. WGNTV isn't signifiant coverage, basically a notice that the convention is going on. Ten Wing Media, maker of "The Con Men", doesn't seem very well-known, established, or popular (many of their "Con Men" videos struggle to get even a thousand views). Looks like it is made up of only three people. Not that any one of these disqualifies it (not sure if any do), it's just that with all the factors added together I don't think it could be used to establish notability. Podcast looks like an interview with someone at Capricon, not specifically about Capricon, I also don't think a "Functional Nerds" podcast can be used to establish notability. Chicago Now is a user generated blog style site, not a reliable source. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 03:29, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see attendance size mentioned in that essay if that's what you meant. And ~1000 attendance events aren't that rare. Highschool/college level sporting events, opening of large, seasonal parks/facilities, and even some peoples' birthday parties could regularly get 1000+ attendance, yet most aren't considered notable here. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 19:28, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, although I think I do see why the nominator believes otherwise. The difficulty that I have in deleting this article is that the List of science fiction conventions points us to a whole lot of conventions, most of them at sub-national (i.e., regional or local) levels. Sure, I know that "other stuff exists" is not a compelling argument, but what we have here is so much other stuff of the same nature that it begins to look like a consensus to have these sorts of articles. And this particular convention has been around for a long time, with a guest list that includes top-shelf authors in the genre (meaning that my opinion might have been different if this were one of the articles about small local conventions). Rainbow unicorn, how would you feel if the introduction was pared down to remove the fluff and the article was re-classed as a "list" article? I don't mind during the grunt work on that, if there is a consensus that this is the way to go. NewYorkActuary (talk) 19:49, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with that if you and others believe it should be kept. This one may be towards the side of being notable but there are some smaller and/or not as old ones on that list that are more likely not. Rainbow unicorn (talk) 22:53, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your take on some of the other conventions on the list. You and I would probably find ourselves on the same side of the fence for some of the small, local ones. As for the matter at hand -- I'll get to work on cleaning up the instant article, but I'll probably not have anything done until tomorrow. If you like the way it looks as a list article, perhaps the nomination can be withdrawn at that point. NewYorkActuary (talk) 23:43, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not sure basically as Books and browser found some links but nothing obviously better so draft & userfy if needed and it's also worth noting the original author was a "capriconchair".

  • Keep as subject crosses verifiability and notability thresholds per WP:GNG. Notability is not a competition and "rarity" is not a factor. - Dravecky (talk) 08:52, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but about as weak a keep as one can give. Seems to barely meet WP:GNG, primarily because of tenure. It is a bit "listy," though, and verifiable sources are pretty thin. I don't have really strong feelings one way or another about this one, frankly. Realkyhick (talk) 20:52, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Capricon has many features which set it apart from other conventions which can, and should, be included in the article, ranging from its inclusion of a series of hoax panels (which have engendered some controversy) its historical relationship to Windycon. They just need to be added to the entry with appropriate sourcing. Shsilver (talk) 19:24, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. A search on Google Books shows little snippets mentioning the convention, like how a Japanese programming track drew in as many viewers as the American programming track in 1985. That's the kind of stuff that's really needed here to make an article, but there just isn't a lot of that kind of independent coverage available. I am generally seeing a lot of bare mentions of the convention, where it takes places, and that it deals with science fiction. I agree with NewYorkActuary that a list article is a better format given the circumstances. I, JethroBT drop me a line 17:54, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. There are several fundamental problems with this article, each of which is sufficient grounds for deletion:

    (1) To quote the deletion rationale for a previous version of this article, "This is a single analysis of cybersecurity, written as though there were 'one' strategy and 'one' framework for cybersecurity, which isn't by any means the case."[67] By way of comparison, the Military strategy and Business strategy articles illustrate how the broad notion of strategy applicable to a particular field should be covered in an encyclopedic manner: Those articles (a) cite sources that discuss the field broadly, (b) discuss a variety of strategies that are individually notable in terms of WP:GNG, and (c) cite sources that compare and contrast those strategies. This article describes "The Cyber Security Strategy" as the be-all and end-all of strategic thinking in the field, which is neither true nor supportable by any reliable sources.

    (2) "The" strategy is defined in terms of some "recent standard Capability Maturity Model Cybersecurity", which is evidently so recent that it has yet to be promulgated as a standard anywhere, and in terms of "The CS5L, Cybersecurity 5 Layout model" (CS5L CMM) which was found not notable (both articles by the same contributor). As such this is essentially an essay of original research.

    (3) Although not overtly promotional in tone, there appears to be a conflict of interest in using Wikipedia to promulgate ones own ideas, as presented in a blog post, or promoting the strategy and framework of one's own company.

    In sum, as noted by Blue Rasberry in the above linked AfD, there appears to be a misunderstanding of what is meant by Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:42, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Naanga. In looking further with WP:INDAFD... The Hindu speaks toward Adithan's Naanga in some detail and speaks directly toward his role. In a different article The Hindu speaks toward Radiopetti and Adithan's role, specifically calling him an "upcoming actor". Growing news provider World News Network in presenting news from reputable sources speak about Adithan having named roles in other films. His career being brief, and he being sourcable as an "upcoming actor", I think the article is a touch TOO SOON. It can always be resurrected when the fellow gets more coverage.

Billy Hathorn (talk) 22:07, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That clause is usually for state assemblies/senates, not for people on a state school board. czar 03:08, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Low-level politician (on state school board), even as president, is not sufficient for automatic notability (which I don't believe in anyway). Only sources in this case are local, so this subject is not asserted as a remarkable topic of wider import. Looks like there's quite a mess in Category:School board members in Louisiana/Wisconsin... czar 14:35, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Doesn't remotely make a difference if she is on the school board at the local level, state level or national level. The question is does she meet notability according to GNG. All GNG requires, is that she be covered in RS and not be fleeting. There are plenty of people included in WikiPedia, from Kardashians, to Hiltons, to Spencer-Churchills who are included on WikiPedia not for doing something but for having their non-contributions noted by the media. Likewise, there are plenty of scientists and academics who have contributed to society whose service is not noted in secondary media and thus they are not included in WikiPedia, regardless of how beneficial to mankind their contributions may be. This woman contributed to society and was covered in the press. As for the statement "sources are almost certainly going to be archived" that is totally irrelevant. RS guidelines do not require that sources be on-line. Further, GNG doesn't require that sources be provided, only proved to exist. Barring the primary sources and non-reliable sources given on the file, there are 7 articles from either the New Orleans Times-Picayune or the Minden Press-Herald. The Times-Picayune is a well-known paper the Minden Press-Herald, though regional has been awarded by the Louisiana Press association for investigative reporting, albeit at a later period, still of record. 5 of the articles cited, show Smith in the headline, so though no on-line access is given they would appear to be substantially about the subject. In addition, in the Picayune article, there are indications that further sources may well exist, as she "was active in the National School Board Association And The Southern Region School Board Association". SusunW (talk) 14:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The regional-ness of the school board appointment matters not for the GNG but the secondary notability guidelines (e.g., the politician guidelines) that approve articles even without a showing of sources, so that's why it makes a different there. As for the general notability guideline, merely appearing in an obituary and local news alongside a handful of mentions in articles primarily about the board and not her leaves us with mostly primary sources (some inappropriate at that) with which to write the rest of the article. As for other articles, other stuff exists—when judging these sources on their merits, this subject's coverage is marginal. czar 15:54, 3 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep You don't get an obituary like the one she had if you're not notable. She passes GNG, as per SusunW. In addition, if a county clerk is notable because they are elected officials, why not a school board? I suspect due to the era we're dealing with that many of the secondary sources are in print, but I see enough here to keep the article even if a few references need cleanup. Slighly offtopic, but to answer an earlier statement in this dicussion, as a librarian, I take issue with the idea that everything gets archived digitally. That's just not true. There is a ton of information sitting on microfilm that still has yet to be digitized so that it's accessible to anyone with an internet connection. Assuming that human information is all digitized (or even available to the general public) is just wrong and shows a lack of familiarity with sourcing information.

Keep, president of state school board passes requirements. Appears to pass GNG too. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 15:57, 7 November 2015 (UTC).[reply]
I don't think she passes the politician guideline if that's what you meant. State school board president is not included in Template:Current Louisiana statewide political officials, which should give a good idea on what counts. Not sure if otherwise notable.

  • Delete It's an interesting and well written article, but it lacks significant third party coverage about her, the article subject. Much of the more promising sources are primarily about the school board, or educational institutions, but not specifically about her in a sense which satisfies GNG.

Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage is the specific line in the rules. Billy Hathorn (talk) 18:26, 11 November 2015 (UTC) She died before Internet was widely available; this makes it harder to find more sources. Billy Hathorn (talk) 01:57, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep - While they clearly don't pass WP:NACTOR, nor meet WP:GNG (since I couldn't find any in-depth coverage), I feel they do pass WP:BASIC: If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability. A search on Books returns dozens of mentions, showing his activity in the film industry, including this, which I feels satisfies the Basic requirement, that and his appearance in more than 170 films and television shows. Very poorly sourced, but I think an interested party could source this better. Onel5969 TT me 13:19, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I think some of the arguments forwarded above are flawed, at least as they are phrased--notability is not temporary and therefore neither the lack of new details nor the company being acquired as an asset and ceasing to operate as a recognizable independent entity are argument for deletion, if notability and other standards are initially achieved. However, there is some question in my mind as to whether the content presently int he article is substantial enough that it will benefit any future readers even to the most minimal extent necessary to justify its existence. New sourcing might remedy this issue if the company were still in operation and being covered by tech industry press, but this is not the case, and perhaps this is what the previous editors commenting here meant to address.

I can't find anything to support notability for this band. МандичкаYO 😜 05:46, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I can. A track used in the soundtracks of th films Home Alone 3 and A Cool, Dry Place([73]), plus coverage: [74], [75], [76], [77], [78]. Not the most notable of bands but at least borderline. --Michig (talk) 06:16, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Allmusic doesn't count as "coverage" and neither does the LA Music Awards profile. Their song being used in two soundtracks might give notability to that song, but only if there was coverage of it. A magazine doing a teeny article about "nipples" in music and mentioning this group had a album by that name doesn't give them much notability. If they don't have chart success, a band must have in-depth coverage from reliable sources to meet GNG. МандичкаYO 😜 21:29, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course Allmusic coverage is coverage. That's a rather bizarre argument. Re. the film soundtracks see WP:BAND criterion 10. --Michig (talk) 05:39, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Whether a brief, incidental, and blog-like review on one of allmusic's tracklist pages could constitute a reliable source is debatable, but I don't think we need to tease that issue apart in this case, since the review really provides very little detail about the band in this instance. On the whole, I tend to feel that sourcing here does not satisfy WP:GNG or WP:BAND. Snow let's rap 06:08, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The book mentioned above, Going Pro: Developing a Professional Career in the Music Industry, was written by the band's manager, so it's not really independent. The award doesn't look notable, either. That mostly leave the soundtracks, and criterion #10 discounts itself as a sole indicator of notability. I agree that Allmusic is more than a directory, but its mission is to be so comprehensive as to be useless as an indicator of notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:57, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a non-notable party, which has apparently never elected anyone, or gotten as much as 1/10 of 1% of the vote (that is less than one out of every thousand voters) in any election. A google search found a number of news stories listing them among the parties that have registered candidates, and one very brief interview with the head of the party, but nothing beyond a passing mention. In looking for sources, please note that there is or was a party of the same name in Hati, apparently it was associatied with the Duvalier government. Do not confuse the two. Mos the the hits I found were in French, but Google Translate is good enough to distinguish a passing mention from significant coverage, and I still read a little French anyway. Someone claiming to represent the party posted at the Teahouse recently, asking that "false statements" be removed or else the article deleted. This person claimed that the version on the French-language Wikipedia was correct, and had been deleted for "no reason". Apparently it had been deleted for their equivalent of lack of notability.

I have added an link to an article in Le Devoir, which is Quebec's newspaper of record. The article does not mention the party in passing - the article is about the party. This was just the first article I came to. Ground Zero | t 01:33, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to searchers: as well as the Haitian party noted by DES above, there seems to have been a fascist party of more or less the same name, the "parti de l'Unité nationale du Canada", as reported in this nasty little piece in Le Devoir of 18 August 1938. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:25, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose: It is a registered political party in Quebec. That alone makes it notable. There is no justification for limiting Wikipedia to major parties. This one has run candidates in four consecutive elections, which is more than a lot of other parties. If there are false statements, they should be identified and removed, but that is not a reason to delete an article. Wikipedia would not be improved by this deletion. Ground Zero | t 00:11, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I disagree, Ground Zero. Where is the guideline that says that being a registered party makes a group notable? WP:ORGSIG says:

    No company or organization is considered inherently notable. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is, including schools. If the individual organization has received no or very little notice from independent sources, then it is not notable simply because other individual organizations of its type are commonly notable or merely because it exists. (wiki-links and notes in source omitted.

    I think that is the proper standard to follow. Where has this party been discussed in any depth by independent sources? Any small but dedicated group can register as a party and run candidates. That does not mean that anyone ever takes any notice of them. One article I found seemed to say that there were only 300 members of this party (although I may have misread this). Small does not mean non-notable, but small and ignored does. DES (talk) 01:02, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DucKon, when operating, did host the Golden Duck awards. However, it has lost a lot of its notoriety in the last few years, finally culminating in it's hiatus/shut down. There are rumours that it will resurface, however this author is unsure of the validity of those rumours. Finally, unlike WindyCon and Capricon, DucKon is not well known outside of the immediate Chicago fan communities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lady Nhytefall (talkcontribs) 01:16, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This article from The Bryan Times verifies the content, but, on the other hand, the entire Wikipedia article seems like a blatant copyright violation of it. It's possible the newspaper article is itself based on a press release. I'm not really sure what to say. I guess I'll try to clean up the article a bit. Most of the awards and honors seem regional, but the USPS award was also mentioned in this article by The Toledo Blade, which seems to use awfully similar phrasing to the Wikipedia/Bryan Times article.

  • Delete - but no prejudice against an appropriate recreation further down the line when notability can be established. I did not find sufficient sources about the person to justify her having an article, and what there was seemed very flimsy. Checked on Highbeam, NYT archive, as well as Google. I do see quite a few hits for her in travel books and magazines on Google Books, but mostly advertorials/promotion. I am sure that if someone was prepared to put in a lot of extra work, the article MIGHT be able to be brought up to minimal standard, but what I see doesn't lead me to believe that it could easily be done. The current article is full of redlinks (suggesting that her notabilities aren't that notable in themselves) and some of the tone is very promotional and sounds like PR speak.

Deer Trace Shopping Center[edit]

This is a generic power center that is a subregional shopping destination with the usual Target/Home Depot/local department store anchors and other smaller shops among it; there are much larger shopping destinations nearby (Grafton's development, for instance) that do not have articles here. PROD was removed under claim of Kohler Company ownership, but the village of Kohler has the land as part of the village and provides police protection and provides the usual advice about clientèle so a payday loan store or other fad shop that clears out after a few weeks isn't part of this shopping center; it is under other ownership. Most sources found are mostly barely-veiled PR about businesses in the shopping center (i.e. ribbon cuttings for the CoC) or the usual 'check out our store here' mentions, or esoteric leasing information.

Upon deletion of the article, the shopping center will need to find it's way on the Kohler Company has I have confirmed with the Village Clerk's Office that Deer Trace is owned by the Kohler Company. Asher Heimermann (talk) 22:06, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not that it matters regarding deletion, but Land / GIS data from http://www.co.sheboygan.wi.us indicates that Kohler, 444 Highland Dr owns land adjacent to the shopping center, but individual tracts are owned by other companies in other states, Target, etc, not Kohler. They probably owned the land before, but apparently don't now, according to public land records. Certainly not worth mentioning prior ownership or ownership of adjacent land in an article about Kohler Company. --Dual Freq (talk) 23:22, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete. There is no point in wasting editors' time leaving this to run for a week: the article is clearly not going to be kept.

A long list of mostly unsourced fan speculation and otherwise poorly (or primary) sourced non-notable stuff. Really, sources like this should not be used in any Wikipedia article. The takes that made it into the official discography are or should be mentioned there, and the rest doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Fram (talk) 22:02, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: There are 38 references; granted, there could be more references and better references added (they do exist) and the article could be improved a bit, but the article should not be outright deleted. Having the outtakes cataloged here makes it easier for researchers to understand where the takes came from, how they have evolved, what's still out there, how rough outtakes from one album were developed and placed on later albums, etc. Aerosmith's overly-long discography has already been broken up and it makes sense to have a separate page for the unreleased material, of which there is considerable documented information. Other artists of similar stature have similar articles and we should strive to improve this article to be on par with the others (see: List of unreleased material recorded by The Bee Gees, List of unreleased songs recorded by the Beach Boys, List of unreleased songs recorded by Pink Floyd, List of unreleased songs recorded by Madonna, List of unreleased songs recorded by Michael Jackson, etc.) Abog (talk) 16:40, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or Merge into List of songs recorded by Aerosmith; there may be 38 refs, but virtually none of this sourcing is WP:RS-quality. Aside from this, these sources only provide minute details about various pieces; they do not in any substantive sense discuss the notability of the core topic of "Aerosmith outtakes", and this notability must be established as with any other article (see WP:SAL). Details on these songs could be added to a stand-alone section in the main article for Aerosmith's discography, provided consensus for such a move can be gained there (and I doubt that would be difficult), but regardless of the outcome of that discussion, this particular article, violating multiple core guidelines as it does, needs to go.
