Easily speedy and PROD material with its current state and my searches simply found nothing better than this (passing mention only about founder, not even about the company), this and this.

The result was delete. Since the only Keep rationales are based on the OBE, which does not confer automatic notability, and the subject has requested deletion, I think the outcom here is clear. Black Kite (talk) 08:48, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

Despite receiving an OBE there is no indication Banjoko meets Wikipedia's standards of notability. Coverage consists of passing mentions only. The organization he founded may be notable; Banjoko himself does not meet WP:GNG. Sources are merely passing mentions, list entries, or Banjoko being quoted on his organization, not detailed coverage of Banjoko himself. Huon (talk) 22:43, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: He was awarded Order of the British Empire which is I think enough for his notability as per WP:ANYBIO. He does have some coverage like in this reliable book. Judith Leary-Joyce (27 December 2012). The Psychology of Success: Secrets of serial achievement. Pearson UK. pp. 40–. ISBN 0-273-74695-2.. Article also has some references. --Human3015TALK  23:09, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Huon - do you have any idea what an Order of the British Empire is? It's an order of chivalry that is only awarded for outstanding achievement. They're not given away like Purple Hearts. Anybody who has been awarded an OBE is notable. And the sources are reliable. Bamber Clarte (talk) 08:00, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - for the record, Tunde Banjoko has contacted OTRS (VRTS ticket # 2015101610019154) and requested deletion of this article on grounds of notability and privacy concerns. It seems Banjoko disagrees with the assertion that an OBE means automatic notability. Since there are more than 100,000 living members of the OBE, more than one in 1000 Britons, I agree with him. For comparison, military personnel is presumed to be notable if they were awarded the highest order for valor; being awarded a military MBE would not mean automatic notability. The same should hold for civilian awards by analogy. For low-profile individuals like Banjoko the Presumption in favor of privacy should hold. Huon (talk) 10:43, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Huon I have some questions regarding this. I am not particularly asking about this article but it is in general. How we can delete an article on request of the subject? If we don't create article on his/her request then why we should delete on his/her request? To avoid any kind of BLP violation maximum we can do is to remove unsourced content, remove allegations or legal matter on which trial is going on in court etc. But if someone is surely notable and if he/she asks to delete his/her article then what we should do? I think deletion of article should be based on consensus of the Wikipedia community. --Human3015TALK  11:39, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
As I pointed out above, there is a presumption in favor of privacy. Banjoko isn't "surely notable"; three passing mentions and a book that uses him as a case study don't equate to significant coverage. I remember a guideline stating that in such cases the subject's wishes to remove an article should be taken into account, but I couldn't find it again. Huon (talk) 12:29, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: the criteria for being made an OBE are far more stringent than those for being given your own Wikipedia page. And while we're on the subject were did this figure of 100,000 living members of the OBE come from? And since when has notability been measured in the number of web search results? Unknown Unknowns (talk) 16:05, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The Order of the British Empire is divided into five classes - we generally accept that the three highest classes (of which relatively few are awarded) are sufficient to assume notability, but the letters OBE indicate that the subject's award was in the fourth class. This does not automatically mean that the subject is not notable - the activities of the subject that gained him the award might well independently meet WP:GNG, but it does mean that this needs to be established. PWilkinson (talk) 23:25, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the sources provided are trivial mentions and my own searches turned up almost nothing about him. I would point out that he's given quotes to Bloomberg and Huffington Post, so I'm not sure if he qualifies as a WP:LOWPROFILE person. mikeman67 (talk) 00:54, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Like I said before, web presence is no indication of notability. If this article breaches some Wikipedia privacy policy then please cite it and then delete the article. Otherwise keep it. Unknown Unknowns (talk) 09:12, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Lack of coverage in reliable third-party sources very much is an indication of a lack of notability; see WP:GNG. I haven't seen any evidence that there are significant offline sources discussing Banjoko in any detail. "Web presence" is a red herring. By the way, the number of 100,000 (including MBEs) comes from the monarchy's own website. Huon (talk) 09:51, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That's still only about 0.2% of the population. Bamber Clarte (talk) 22:41, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And that's not just OBEs. Far more MBEs are awarded than OBEs. Still quite a few OBEs though. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Note that we have never considered the OBE sufficient for notability on its own, although it is a contributing factor. You have to have a CBE or above for any form of inherent notability. OBEs and MBEs are just much too common. If he had an entry in Who's Who I'd be more convinced of his notability, but he doesn't. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I would like to change my earlier vote, as Huon pointed out that according to official website there are more than 100,000 living awardees of OBE, so we should create article on those who passes WP:GNG. There can be much more winners of this award who are not-living. I don't know exact number of articles that WikiProject UK has but WikiProject India has 152,000 articles, I think if we make article on every living and dead OBE winner then their number can cross all articles related to India. We should create article on only those having some reasonable coverage.--Human3015TALK  17:43, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I have added several references to the article, from the Highbeam search posted by SwisterTwister. I suggest the article be refocused to be about the online school, TRECA Digital Academy, rather than the parent company. The school seems notable while the company does not. And since it is a diploma-granting institution, it may qualify for an article per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. If the article is kept, I will undertake to rewrite, refocus, and rename the article to be about the school. --MelanieN (talk) 00:16, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:GNG and WP:ACADEMIC. Her academic position is not notable; I searched Google Scholar and found nothing at all; I could find no reviews of her books, which may not be surprising since both were published in 2015.

This discussion was listed on October 16, so it will remain open at least until October 23. At that point an administrator will decide if there is a community consensus to keep it or delete it, or if the discussion should be extended. I understand your wish to have an article here about here, but Wikipedia has to have standards for who it has articles about. In her case the standards can be found at WP:ACADEMIC or WP:BIO. Even if she doesn't meet those standards now, it is quite possible that she will meet them a little later, when her career is more developed and other scholars have taken more notice of her. --MelanieN (talk) 14:31, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. WorldCat shows low holdings of all her books, which is expected, given that she seems to be an early-in-career scholar (Medgar Evers College lists her as an adjunct lecturer). A book review in a low-impact, discipline-specific journal like Ethnic and Racial Studies is considered to be average scholarly accomplishment (as opposed to a review in a high-impact, general-interest periodical, which would be much more significant).

The subject of this article fails to meet the standards of WP:N due to lack of multiple, non-trivial references in reliable, third-party sources, nor are there likely to be any because she was only "discovered" almost four decades after her death (thus we would not expect to find coverage in newspapers of the time etc.) The fact that she was World's Oldest Person in and of itself is irrelevant for determining if she should have a stand-alone article, since there's no Wikipedia policy on the oldest anything being automatically notable by the encyclopedia's standards (also based on long-term consensus, including most recently the redirecting of this World's oldest person). Thus we default to the general notability guidelines and any material of encyclopedic merit can be included on the many longevity-related lists on Wikipedia.

Keep. While the list is indeed still empty at the moment (oct 2015), I disagree it should be removed. It is a quite important issue/article. As other comparison articles have proven, lists are often filled in quickly once the article becomes more popular. Info added isn't necessarily original research; as long as the data comes from respectable sources, this isn't an issue.

  • Explanation (why to keep) - I am the author of this Estonian Science Fiction Association text and i want to explain a bit. Like T. Anthony already said Estonian sci-fi club and community uses mostly estonian language and its official international name Estonian Science Fiction Association is not widely used because inside the country we use estonian version "Eesti Ulmeühing" ("ulme" is word for the science fiction). In addition to that Estonian sci-fi community is quite big and strong organization but unluckily a little-known in the wide world and does not have a connections to other foreign clubs/scenes. And this caused the problem that searches in English news, highbeam, and newspapers returned zero results. I can share tons of links to Estonian webs, but these are in estonia language and therefore usless for english wiki readers. --Metsavana (talk) 16:48, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Metsavana, I'm sympathetic, but @en Wikipedia is not to be used to promote your organization. That goes against our guidelines wp:promo. We have specific rules for organization notability wp:corp and we have to follow them for everyone. You can, however, add it to the List_of_science_fiction_conventions with a link.

  • Comment - Not at all Metsavana - it is simply a question of notability. It would make no difference if this article was about the Arizona Science Fiction Association. If it doesn't meet notability criteria (see WP:GNG and in this case, since it's an organization, WP:NORG). BTW, there is a Baja Arizona Science Fiction Association, which is not notable enough for its own article. Onel5969 TT me 13:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - A WP:OSE argument not germane to the discussion. Feel free to research those articles and nom any of them for AfD if they don't meet the notability criteria, as this article clearly doesn't. Onel5969 TT me 00:58, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OSE is an essay, not a guideline or anything. Perhaps things have changed, but traditionally an organization being nationally significant was significance. There are sources in Estonian.--T. Anthony (talk) 02:17, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Never said it was a "guideline or anything". Simply said that it should be consulted for guidance in this instance, which, if you read it, it says in its opening paragraph. It's totally appropriate based on your argument. And you still don't address the lack of notability of the group in the article. Regardless, take it easy. Onel5969 TT me 04:05, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It tends to be harder to show notability of things in small non-English speaking nations.

WP:NOTMEMORIAL, WP:BIO1E. Prod removed by article creator. "Petition" for MoH has not gone anywhere in several years, and it is unlikely that it will. MSJapan (talk) 02:08, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Wikipedians have not come into an agreement into what constitutes notability for soldiers. WP:PEOPLE states we should check WP:SOLDIER but that page is an essay rather than a guideline. Regardless, the essay states we should consider whether the soldier received the second highest award a nation can confer. This is the case for Yale who received the Navy Cross. Looking at what we do rather than what we should or should not, one notices that it's quite common to host articles for Navy Cross recipients as we have a standalone category for them: Category:Recipients of the Navy Cross (United States). The category hosts more than 680 articles. Picking one randomly, such as Edward H. Ahrens, we notice it's common in Wikipedia to host articles for soldiers that only detail the event related to the award. Yale differentiates himself from the rest as it's likely that his Navy Cross will be "upgraded" to a Medal of Honor in the future. As our guidelines are not clear it's difficult to assess whether Yale deserves an article on its own. However, when looking at the number of references provided and their time horizon once notices that Yale's notability extends throughout the years: he has been covered in 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2014. Even in 2015 he is still casually mentioned by local press [7] and by other organizations [8]. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 03:33, 30 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete While Yale and Haerter did display extraordinary heroism warranting the award of the Navy Cross, they are one of nearly 6900 estimated recipients of the Navy Cross. The bill to upgrade their awards died in congressional committee in 2014. The consensus has been that being awarded a nations highest award would confer sufficient notability, but the second highest award does not. This would seem to be WP:BIO1E. Their deaths are tragic but Wikipedia is not a memorial. EricSerge (talk) 01:41, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • But how do you account for time horizon? Yale continues to be covered by reliable sources years after his death. WP:BIO says that's enough to consider notability. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 03:42, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Local coverage still about the 1 Event. EricSerge (talk) 04:15, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't think that coverage by Fox News, Business Insider and Military Times can be considered "local" coverage though. Besides, we don't care if the coverage is local or not. Our notability guidelines only care about independent coverage on time horizon. Yale fulfills that criteria. —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 05:27, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A single second-level award is not generally regarded as enough to establish notability. We have deleted many recipients of such awards of various nationalities. I see no reason to make an exception here. If it is subsequently upgraded to the Medal of Honor then obviously he will become eligible for an article, but not yet. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:16, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Irrelevant. Every serviceman from the United States killed or decorated these days gets plenty of internet coverage. That doesn't make every one of them notable. It's just a symptom of the internet age. Is he any more significant than someone who won a Navy Cross in the Second World War just because he lived in the 21st century? Of course he isn't. That's why we have WP:NOTMEMORIAL and WP:ROUTINE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:12, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's irrelevant. Our notability guidelines don't care about date of birth, they only care about whether independent reliable sources cover the subject at hand. In this case they do. Period. Haerter satisfies both WP:GNG and WP:BIO.

  • Delete per WP:BIO1E, notability not established outside a single event, nor is his award sufficiently exceptional.--Staberinde (talk) 16:26, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Notability does not need to be established outside of a single event. Notability is only established by coverage by independent reliable sources. Classifying a Navy Cross as not being "sufficiently exceptional" as you argue is a subjective matter. WP:BIO is inconclusive in that respect as WP:SOLDIER was never ratified. However, by following WP:GNG and WP:BIO Yale satisfies our notability criteria as he has (1) received significant coverage (even after seven years after his death he is still being covered by reliable sources), (2) the sources that have covered him are considered reliable, (3) the sources that have covered him are secondary sources, (4) the sources that have covered him are independent of Yale, and (5) the significant coverage over an extended time horizon has created an assumption by itself that Yale is notable (the fact that a mess hall was named in his honor cements the notion that Yale is inheritable notable).

This article has been nominated because the contents are already included in Television networks preceding ABC Family. The article also infers that Fox Family is a standalone network when it was in point of fact an iteration of the existing cable channel now known as ABC Family (soon to become Freeform).

  • Revert to disambiguation page which existed until April 2015's poor edits in which the dab page was overwritten without any replacement navigation. This was done by a brand-new editor who edited this and ABC Family, and tried to create the duplicating The Family Channel(US TV Network) [sic] in one burst of editing on 19 April and has not edited since then. Any appropriate novel content can be added to Television_networks_preceding_ABC_Family#Fox_Family or a new article created at Fox Family Channel which currently redirects there. If someone wants to argue that the tv channel is the Primary Topic for "Fox Family" then they should do so formally, rather than just obliterate the existing dab page.

    • For the record, the content in the article was actually copied directly from an earlier version of the Fox Family section in the Television networks preceding ABC Family page, which has been expanded upon since then in the latter article, so there may not be any substantive content that can easily be transferred to that article since it is already featured there.

Please see:

This person is relatively unknown. Reference sources do not exist or is of questionable credibility. IMDB profile also shows very little about this actress. Articles sounds like self-promotion article. Please queue this article for deletion.

Hi, Am the actual creator (User:Lamokahj) of Page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komal_Jha . The page i created was not for Self Promotion and the person listed in the Page is not unknown. There are many Links in the page which supports my claim. I agree that the subject here is a living person (upcoming actress) and hence there is not much details on IMDB Page. I would like to revoke the deletion decision of this article. However, if there is something in the article that has been added by random users which shows self promotion, please help us by deleting that improper content but not the whole article. Let me know if any concerns. 103.16.69.13 (talk) 18:47, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. We're Premier Pegasus Consultants LLP. We have a presence in India and our team has confirmed that the actor mentioned on this page is a known public figure. An upcoming actress, indeed - nevertheless, she has several films to her credit and it would be kind if the profile on Wikipedia could stay. In case you need citations from credible newspapers in the country, write to Simon Steele, our senior partner in the UK office [[email protected] [+44 (0) 203 695 3 734]] or Soumik Roy in our India office [[email protected]]. Your support in this regard would be very kind.

Rsriprac (talk)

@Rsriprac - You seem to slander and consider yourself an authority on the lives and businesses of people around the world. Please refrain from making libelous remarks against entities and people that you do not know about. Before questioning the agenda of those supporting this actor and her page, could you please clarify your motives? Your comments reek of malicious intent at every stage. Tread with caution. Your profile does indicate that you have spent your entire life contributing to these Wiki pages (and you would be respected for that) lest you try to use your past efforts to cover up wrongful acts. Your Wiki user-page says, "IF SOMEONE CLAIMING TO BE ME OFFERS TO CREATE A WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE FOR A FEE, IT IS NOT ME." That could indicate that you're taking the pains to stir trouble in the life of this actor because you're either being paid by someone to do so or because you have rotten plans in your head. I mean, if we were to "freely" speak our mind in our comments, those could be things we could accuse of. No? At the end of the day, I apologise if we've hurt you or your sentiments in any way. Let's forgive and forget and leave this page alone, as a favor to us and everyone else who is genuinely interested in this actor. Thank you!

For your reference, here are links to media articles about the actor. She is indeed famous, even if you don't know her. — PP SimonSteele (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Last year, a selfie took atop the Christ the Redeemer statue went viral, earning the photo a "UK Social Media Communications Award." Due to the viral-ness of it, there are plenty of sources, but I'm questioning the lasting notability of this event. Thus, I'm taking the issue here to get some feedback and consideration. Thanks, -- Tavix (talk) 20:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why should it be merged there? Is there an appropriate place where this material could be at that article? -- Tavix (talk) 23:42, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The content would be suitable in a new "In popular culture" section in the Christ the Redeemer (statue) article. North America1000 23:48, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not a fan of WP:IPC, it just seems like glorified trivia to me. However, if that's the consensus, I'll go along with it. -- Tavix (talk) 23:52, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – The topic has received significant coverage in mainstream/international news sources, such as [9], [10], [11], [12], so it passes WP:GNG. Sure, this could be merged, but the article would need to be retained in order to do so, and again, the topic is independently notable. Also, the article is about the photograph, how the photograph went viral, and also how the photograph was acquired, so I don't feel that WP:EVENT applies in a primary manner toward the overall topic. North America1000 03:35, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – with reference to WP:DOGBITESMAN, I would consider an internet phenomenon which goes "overnight viral" then is promptly forgotten to be the internet version of an "And finally" story. That it later won some relatively unknown social media award lends no additional weight to its notability. And I agree with Tavix that it wouldn't be suitable to put this anywhere in the Christ the Redeemer (statue) article, and that even if there were an IPC section it would be a very low value bullet point on that list – therefore I'd delete the content outright rather than merge it. Aspirex (talk) 11:51, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Even though notability is not temporary, let's take a look and see if there is indeed lasting coverage. There is. The Huffington Post = over one year later. CNN, also about one year later. The Daily Telegraph, over one year later. — Cirt (talk) 02:59, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • What do you mean by "coverage", Cirt? I can't speak about the HuffPo page (my browser refuses to play its video), but the CNN page includes a total of one sentence about this, as does the Telegraph article. -- Hoary (talk) 02:12, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • And here's what WP:NEVER currently tells us: A single event that receives coverage only for a short period of time and never again is usually not notable (though there are exceptions to the rule). If there is significant coverage for a long period of time, and the subject becomes a permanent fixture on at least some notable members of society, the subject is more likely to be notable. It seems to me that part of this suggests disagreement with you (unless a single sentence within each of two articles of moderate length constitutes "significant coverage") and part of it is gibberish. (Who are "notable members of society", and what does it mean for something to become "a permanent fixture on" such people?) -- Hoary (talk) 02:49, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Does anyone remember the dim distant past where we didn't have "selfies"? Yes, believe it or not, the wikipedia article selfie was only created 2.5 years ago, April 2013. Now this particular selfie falls far short of Tourist guy, but Cirt makes the best comment for keeping, i.e., subsequent mentions of the picture months after the original. But how are we to find this in future years? Is a List of notable selfies even feasible?--Milowent • hasspoken 04:13, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Caloocan has a population of over a million, so I have no idea how local elections there cannot be considered notable. It is far larger than many English districts and towns for which we have complete sets of election articles (e.g. Category:Council elections in Bolton Borough or Category:Tunbridge Wells Council elections), and on which there is consensus that the elections are notable. Deleting this article would be a clear case of systematic bias against non-English speaking countries.

  • Delete - not notable Zezen (talk) 18:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - No comment for Las Piñas and Mandaluyong (probably delete until someone comes up with a good enough expansion), but both Makati and Caloocan has had election articles in the past that weren't AFDed and are still existing after two election cycles (2016 is the third one). –HTD 20:34, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Makati is larger than many English districts and towns for which we have complete sets of election articles (e.g. Category:Council elections in Bolton Borough or Category:Tunbridge Wells Council elections (it is more than four times the size of Tunbridge Wells)), and on which there is consensus that the elections are notable. Deleting the Makati article would be a clear case of systematic bias against non-English speaking countries. I have restored the speedily deleted Malabon article as the city is even larger, and the article is no different to East Hertfordshire District Council election, 2015. Number 57 21:41, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Meets the requirements of WP:NEVENT and WP:V. Elections in cities this size are definitely notable and are easily verifiable.--RioHondo (talk) 00:52, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I do not believe this person meets notability criteria. Yes their existence is documemted: so is mine. I know iis not a valid argument, but did this wmaon actually do anything of real interest? TheLongTone (talk) 13:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC) TheLongTone (talk) 13:48, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Yes documentation about this person exists - in reliable academic publications. This person was the wife of the King of Powys,a small, recognized kingdom in medieval Briton. This means she was the Queen, or Princess of the kingdom, which in its self should qualify her for Notability. Historic sources (my colleague should be providing sources shortly) also indicate that she played a significant role in the assassination of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd, which addresses your other question about her interesting achievements. It's difficult to pin these points to existing notability criteria but i would suggest that there is a precedent for people of similar notability being included on Wikipedia.

  • Keep She was an important figure during her time period and the article itself adds to women's history in an area that is difficult to research. Also, the claim of nobility seems reasonable, too. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 15:59, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Hawise is a well-documented medieval woman of the welsh marches, which in itself makes her both unusual and notable, given the difficulty of finding out about the lives of medieval women. However, she was also socially well-connected to English and Welsh elite and even royal families and was politically influential, as shown by her role in machinations against Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. She is well-attested in historical writing about medieval Wales, which demonstrates the importance that historians ascribe to her. Srbswansea Srbswansea (talk) 10:40, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep You know I don't vote all that often on these, but I concur with the above comments. It's unusual for a medieval woman to be as well-documented as this one. Deb (talk) 12:18, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It is essential we recognise individuals like Hawise Lestrange, who is not only well documented in contemporary records but is also the subject of important recent scholarship which clearly demonstrates her notability. She was actually more central to affairs than this entry (as yet) makes clear, and her appearance on Wikipedia helps to raise the profile of important medieval woman. Compare this with, for example, the entries for some of the more obscure Welsh princes of the age, where very little at all is known about them and yet they are allowed a presence on Wikipedia. There is no question that Hawise should stay, or that other women should join her. MedievalGirl —Preceding undated comment added 12:47, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Me again. Just to say, Hawise's profile now demonstrates her roles more fully, and more is to come. I reiterate my previous comment.MedievalGirl

Local sourcing for a thinly to almost none notable musician with my searches simply finding nothing better than this so this seems to have been a case of one event coverage and, in the rare case the band is independently notable, an article for that could be started and this moved there but I doubt there's much for an article considering again this seemed to have been a local musician with some passing 2010 & 2011 coverage.

Keep Throwing "Un-notable WP:SYNTH" at it without explanation won't help it go away. I see no rationale there. The Syrians, Russians, Iranians, Iraqis and Hezbollah all call their Operation salvation something like this. The Syrians use Quartet front, which has a nice ring to it. Call it a front or an alliance or whatever, but it started at a different time from the Northwestern offensive which is a highly opinionated article based on the template and format of offensives prior to Russia, Iraqi and open Iranian coordination from a command centre in Baghdad. The Northwestern article is blatant spin, making it look like the offensive is ineffective and limited to the one front. Meanwhile Vladimir Putin is boasting and taunting the west with the results that even Western media is starting to admit.[13] This article covers material about the Homs offensive which doesn't have a page and is clearly different and has been very notable in the press yesterday. Also the coming (started already really) Aleppo offensive needs a page which this one starts to cover. Russian sources call it a combined offensive similar to the title and is the most workable for now until a better suggestion. [14] Guru Noel (talk) 11:22, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Guru Noel is the article creator. The key sources, including the pravda source ^^^ are unreliable Russian, Syrian, and maybe Iranian government propaganda tools that can't be trusted. We don't accept reports of military action from these sources without backup sources. Legacypac (talk) 15:54, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The pravda source isn't in the article. How can it be WP:NPOV to accept reports of military action from the Eastern side of a war unless it's backed up by one from the Western side? Your comment is a total WP:NPOV scandal. Plus, the Eastern side has show the Western to be an unreliable sham and looks more likely of winning (getting peace) now so don't the victors get to write the history/Wikipedia and become the reliable ones now? Guru Noel (talk) 18:02, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Because "western" sources like Reuters and AP are RS, they aren't state owned or essentially state owned, also this isn't a forum on your opinions about the Russian intervention, nor should the article be a way to incredibly push the Russian POV on the situation, although that seems to be what is happening anyway. This also has nothing to do with "the victors writing history" which also isn't how Wikipedia works, and even if the Russian's did win which hasn't been shown, that wouldn't make the non-RS sources suddenly RS. - SantiLak (talk) 19:14, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In the Syrian Civil War maps and articles there are strict rules.

Western sources keep interviewing any old mercenary, ruffian "moderate terrorist" they can find on the ground and reporting them as reliable (a half hour before they run off and give ISIS all their guns). Sorry, but such sources are highly incompetent in my opinion. I would rather choose the state medias of constitutional democracies who's leaders millions people voted legally for as a little bit more factual, neutral and honest.

comment Describing SOHR as 'independant' is jibbering derrangity. This article is unworkable, but it's cropped up because of the overwhelming bias of all syrian war articles, and the unwillingness of the wikipedia community to engage with them....essentially writing them off as not worth the hassle. It'd be better to dramatically cull syria war articles in general, and just have a very few where policies are actually enforced (such as RS, which, no, sohr isn't within a million miles of). 78.144.26.65 (talk) 02:34, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as a pov article with a pov title. A mere cursory glance at the mouthful of a title makes that clear. The content seems mostly cherry picked synthesis. Any actual offensive, or series of offensives, will have a proper name, not a made-up one like this, and can probably be covered in existing articles. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 23:27, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Article covers only a small part the topic of the already existing article Northwestern Syria offensive (October 2015) (which is much more comprehensive) and throws in several unrelated offensives hundreds of kilometers apart (one not even being government-initiated) in an OR and Synth manner, making it out as if its all one and the same operation (which is not).

The Aleppo offensive article covers a topic/event that has been notable enough in the reliable media outlets to warrant its own article and has been a current event in the media for the last three days (and still is). In any case, that's a separate and different issue from the one we are currently discussing. At this point it seems most are for the deletion of this article or (per few others) merging relevant info (if any even exist) from this one to the comprehensive article on the ongoing Northwestern Syria offensive.

If someone wants the HoC in Britain or Canada, they'll probably get to this page and click the links in the specific bodies section to get to their house where they can get much more comprehensive detail into their HoC.

  • Switched to keep in an effort to have this closed with consensus. As I say below, I don't have a strong opinion as to which we keep. It seems unusual to have what is effectively a disambiguation page contain so much prose, but that it's non-standard doesn't necessarily mean it's problematic, and it still does the same job, more or less. Will redirect the disambig to this title when it's closed. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 12:59, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't have a very strong opinion as to which we keep.

Am I wrong about that? — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:24, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (possibly pruning it). At the very worst we need to keep this as a dab-page. Details of the history of the British HoC (such as the subject of rotten boroughs) would be better dealt with in the article on the UK House of Commons. However, an article on all of them together, if brief and leading to more specific main articles is useful. Redirect House of Commons (disambiguation) here.

  • Keep, and delete House of Commons (disambiguation). There are plenty of sources that compare the parliamentary systems in Canada, the UK, Australia, etc. (like this source). All this article needs is a few citations, but deletion is not the way to go. Wikipedia's deletion policy states that "[i]f editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page" (see WP:ATD).

  • What does Australia have to do with this? It doesn't have a house of commons. Srnec (talk) 23:59, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Srnec, the article discusses "[r]oughly equivalent bodies," including the "Australian House of Representatives". I simply included the source above as one example of the numerous sources that compare parliamentary governments that utilize a House of Commons or an equivalent form of legislature. For a straight comparison of British and Canadian Houses of Commons, see this article. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 00:08, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is the wrong article for that. We have Westminster system for that job. We also have lower house and bicameralism. What we have here is a glorified dab page, like House of Representatives. They should be pared to down to simple dab pages, since all that the various entities have in common (and distinct from like things) is the same exact name. Srnec (talk) 00:16, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not familiar with how the Australian government works, so you may be correct that comparisons in this article are unwarranted. However, it looks like the various Houses of Commons discussed in this article share much more than a name. Apparently, they share common historical antecedents in the English Parliament, they share similar functions, they share some procedures, and they share similar duties to the electorates in their respective countries. But the important consideration for the purposes of this AfD is that there are sufficient sources discussing their shared history and functions. See this source, this source, this source, this source, and this article that discuss the relationships between various Houses of Commons. Per WP:GNG, "[i]f a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article". -- Notecardforfree (talk) 01:34, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect House of Commons (disambiguation) to House of Commons, and move the DAB page content to House of Commons (per Peterkingiron's suggestion above). WP:DABNAME states that the disambiguation page name should be that of the ambiguous topic unless there's a clear primary topic. I think we're agreed that there isn't a primary topic in this case, and that the page shouldn't have any content other than the standard disambiguation elements. Neither page needs to be deleted for this. Tevildo (talk) 11:06, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Tevildo, why do think the page shouldn't have any content? Per WP:GNG, "[i]f a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." I have listed plenty of reliable, verifiable sources (see above) that discuss the shared history and function of the various Houses of Commons. A simple google search will reveal many more sources. I think a good analogy for how to proceed here would be to follow the model used article for senates. There are many senates around the world, but there are also enough reliable, verifiable sources about the common features of senates to justify a standalone article. At the bottom of the article for senate, there is a list of the various senates around the world. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 15:26, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I agree this is an acceptable approach for articles such as Senate and National Assembly, where the term is both widely-used and has a clear historical background. However, I wouldn't consider "House of Commons" to be an equivalent term, as it's not a widely-used name for legislative assemblies - "the various Houses of Commons" is really just the UK and Canada, rather than a more general concept. I would put any shared history between the UK and Canadian houses into the individual articles, and any more general history of equivalent bodies into Lower house. Tevildo (talk) 16:05, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and redirect to House of Commons (disambiguation). Agree with Tevildo immediately above: it makes sense to have a generic article about lower houses of parliament in the same way it makes sense to have a generic article about senates, but this article doesn't fall into that category – it just covers the couple of lower houses that happen to be called the 'House of Commons'. Aspirex (talk) 22:03, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I don't think anyone is proposing that the article itself should be deleted, making House of Commons a redlink. The issues are:
(a) Should House of Commons contain substantial content, or just be a standard disambiguation page?
(b) If it's to be a disambiguation page, should it be at House of Commons or House of Commons (disambiguation)?
No admin action should be required to implement any of these solutions, and, if we decide to convert the existing article to a dab page, I see no objection to keeping the current page content in the edit history. Perhaps the article talk page is a better place for this discussion. Tevildo (talk) 10:48, 11 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and delete the DAB page, as per several other editors. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:17, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace the content of this page with that of House of Commons (disambiguation), and then make that page redirect to this one. (Usually one bolds "Keep" or "Delete" or so on, but in this case I'm not sure which word best describes my proposed solution.) The problem with the current article, is it suggests that the "House of Commons of the UK" and the "House of Commons of Canada" have something in common, beyond having the same name, which they do not also have in common with other legislative bodies without that name, which is not true. The mere fact that Canada chose to stick with the "House of Commons" name, but other Dominions went with a different name, doesn't make the Canadian body more like the British one than (for example) the Australian or New Zealand equivalents.

  • Delete. Uninformed editing has badly distorted this article since its initial creation — what were clearly marked as Islamic Calendar dates have been relabeled as CE and the date annotation "Hegira" has been reinterpreted as a place name. I think I've fixed the worst of it but I still can't figure out who the subject is; the name is too generic and the variations in transliterating names too great. So we have no sources and (unless someone who actually knows this subject comes along to help, as has not happened in the 7 years this article has existed) little hope of finding any.

  • Keep: The question is not the quality of the article but the notability of the subject. Philosophy in early Safavid Iran by Reza Pourjavady describes Kamal al-din al-Ilahi al-Ardabili as educated in Ardabil under Ali al-Amuli, then under the Safavid Sultan Haydar, then in Shiraz under Jalal al-Din al-Dawani. It can be seen that this exactly matches what is stated in the article, albeit with very different transliterations of the names. I do not doubt, therefore, that the article describes this scholar from Iran. The next step should be to ask a Farsi speaker to locate some more sources.

The Sol Zakay page should be kept because he is a separate person from Eddie Zakay. There is additional information about Sol Zakay on the page - regarding his support of Arsenal and his interest in football as well as his charitable giving which is distinct from that of his brother. A different page could be created for Eddie Zakay and the page EDDIE AND SOL ZAKAY could be deleted.

  • Delete The awards (those that don't get 404) all appear to be of the type "pay and win and promote" - that is, they exist to allow companies to say that they have won an award. The Stevie awards give well over 100 awards each year. The others it was less clear, but they all emphasized using the award for business promotion. Other than that, I can find the company listed on social sites and sites that serve as business directories. There were a few Bloomberg articles, but these were written by a company officer. That said, the company (if it is the same company) has offices in the UK and Australia and perhaps other countries, so there may be more information that I'm not seeing.

  • Leaning keep Hmmm. My gut says that notability can probably be proved, and there's evidence that sources do exist. On the designer's press page, I do see a few scans of articles that are focused on her and her work, such as [25]. She has been the subject of articles in Elle [26], and I see regular ongoing coverage over three years in Mexico Vogue on a Google search. I see this, and investigation suggests that that website is published under editorial control. Over the last few years I see plenty of coverage and commentary on her work in the established fashion press - Vogue, Elle, etc - a great indicator of notability for a fashion designer. To be fair at this point she's not exactly inspiring me to try saving her article, but it seems clear that someone could produce a much better article on her, especially if they can read the Spanish-language sources.

Comment: the edit history of TransPerfect is interesting, with repeated IP removal of sourced content about a legal spat between the founders.

This is a contested PROD. As I said in the prod nomination, playing in the Philippine league does not satisfy the notability requirements in WP:NFOOTY. Being picked in a national futsal team may be a claim to notability, but I cannot find anything beyond a few routine mentions so there is not enough to satisy WP:GNG.

  • Comment: I was able to verify the award here, so this could probably give some notability but not enough to keep on that basis alone. The coverage of this is fairly light, though, so I'll need to do some more research before I'd be comfortable saying that it absolutely would give partial notability on here, as Wikipedia is fairly strict about what awards it considers notable.

The award does look to be somewhat discerning, but the coverage for it is incredibly light and would not be the type that would give absolute notability, meaning a keep on the award alone.

Apparently totally non-notable wine or grape variety (our article is not clear which, or if both). The village of Lierna lies within the Indicazione geografica protetta of the Terre Lariane (on which we should, but apparently do not, have an article). As far as I can see, "Bianco di Lierna" is not mentioned in:

As mentioned by FactStraight here, there seems to have been recent substantial and unencyclopaedic promotion of the village of Lierna and anyone and everything remotely associated with it. Given the total lack of coverage and the fact that the image illustrating the article is of vines growing at Birnau, Germany, on the shores of Lake Constance, the possibility of an outright hoax can't be completely discounted. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:08, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete certainly no coverage, and probably a hoax. Nice work Justlettersandnumbers. No mention of a grape varietal in the two cited Italian books from 1829 and 1817. Yes, in th 1800s they grew grapes there and made wine from them. The wine had a nicely sharp taste (al sapor graziosamente tagliente). Editor Alec Smithson who created this article is also the one who added all the wine and vineyard stuff to the Lierna article both here and on the Italian Wikipedia, and some on the French, Spanish and German Wikipedias. His edits to the Lierna article on the Polish Wikipedia were reverted, but were about films not wine. He added a Bianco di Lierna‎ article on the French Wikipedia, but not (yet?) on the German, Polish or Spanish. --Bejnar (talk) 02:35, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or revise lead. The lead says the article is about a variety of grape, but the entire body of the article doesn't say anything about a grape. The article could be re-cast as an article about a wine growing region, if the region has any notability, but it certainly isn't about a grape. ~Amatulić (talk) 06:31, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Verification that they grow grapes there - yes, substantive coverage as a wine growing region - no. --Bejnar (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is already an article about the village of Lierna, as noted above. As also noted, this article is not about the grape, as beyond the lead, it spends its time on the village. No sources found. The mislabeled photo is highly suggestive of a hoax, as I would have expected the enology sources noted to have mentioned the grape or at least the region, yet they do not. Non-notable at best and more likely a fabrication. Geoff | Who, me? 22:34, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No significant Google hits (although it's difficult to look for "The Dramas").Their MySpace page has only 10 songs in 3 years and almost no other info (looks long abandoned).

  • Keep : IMDB was used as an indication of Rafiq Subaie not being notable but there are more than 200 state on this earth and an actor doesnt have to be notable in the English speaking world to be actually notable.
He is a Syrian actor and if someone want more information about him then he really needs to look in sources written in Arabic.
This is an interview with Rafiq Subaie in SKY News where he is described as on of the founders of Syria's acting movement.
This is his entry on MBC one of the Arabic-speaking world biggest networks.
This is an interview with As-Safir, where he is described as the artist of the people which is what Syrians call him.
This is the site of the Syrian Arab News Agency (Syria's official news agency). It is talking about Rafiq Subaie in English.
This is a book by professor Rebecca Joubin, an assistant professor and chair of Arab studies at Davidson College. She is explaining Subaie's role in Syria's early TV (In English).
This is a copy from an article that appeared in Gulf News (in English). I quote : (Visibly absent were big names and pioneers of Syrian cinema like Duraid Lahham, Rafiq Sibayi, and Muna Wassef).--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 18:41, 14 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is the site of the Syrian Ministry of Culture and its talking about the honoring of Rafiq by the Syrian president with the highest level of the Order of Civil Merit

  • Delete Most sources in the article are to dead webpages, so cannot tell if extensive coverage is from those. Google search provides little. Did not compete in the 2006 Commonwealth Games (what I would think is the biggest competition for a Scotland gymnast during his time of competition). Does not appear to meet anything under WP:NGYMNAST. Nothing seems out there to say keep. RonSigPi (talk) 03:10, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable. Every reference is either not independent, or a mere notice (or both). Nothing more would be expected, because none of her positions are notable by any reasonable standard. Vice-chairman of a state agency is not generally notable.

The previous afd was closed as keep only for a technical reason: the nom was a banned sock. I was previously threatened by a self-declared employee of her agency that I would be reported and all my articles deleted if I attempted to remove the article on her or any other employee of that agency [27] (that account was of course blocked some time ago) To be fair, it was someone else entirely who wrote the article.

Can you help me understand what `fails google test` means? There are a handful of non-concerto-owned links on the first page of web search results for "Concerto Signage". Google Scholar also brings up at least 2 journal entries which discuss Concerto. Bamnet (talk) 01:49, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep :@Bamnet:I would assume I dream of horses is applying something along the lines of the "notability" test mentioned in Wikipedia:Search_engine_test. A quick glance at the Google results reveal nothing amiss, though "Concerto" is word in regular use, and the results will need to be viewed with that in mind. Certainly, a diversity of sources (beyond a search for a common word) and an evaluation of the citations should be used in this determination.

Overall, Concerto Signage would seem no more or less notable than Dokuwiki or the plethora of other open-source software projects included in Wikipedia and I'm unable to find any grounds in the Wikipedia:Notability guidelines for non-inclusion. The "orphan" tag would also appear not to apply here, as the page is linked from the RPI TV page as well as the Concerto (disambiguation) page (though that hardly counts).--69.204.153.39 (talk) 02:39, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete non-notable software, fails to have significant coverage in reliable independent sources. Fails WP:GNG. Most sources are either "forums" or the copany's. Others do not rise to the level of sigfificance. See also the informative essay Wikipedia:Notability (software). IP editor 69.204.153.39 is incorrect, it is not guidelines for non-inclusion, it is guidelines for inclusion, and this topic does not meet those guidelines. --Bejnar (talk) 20:46, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Bejnar: Sorry if my sentence structure was a bit confused. I was simply saying that in reading the guidelines, I found none that seemed problematic in this case. But this is obviously a subjective process, and I certainly fall in the minority inclusionist camp, as I found the deletion of the list of signage systems to be over-the-top. As I alluded to earlier, it would be best if people with an interest in the open-source software area of Wikipedia take up this question within the context of the open-source software Wikipedia already lists, since notability standards vary widely by topic area (rare bird species tend not to get the best SEO treatment).--69.204.153.39 (talk) 23:06, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Many things may be appropriately mentioned with citation in a broader article and do not require their own article. This I believe is one of them. It does not have very much coverage at all in indedependent reliable sources. Coverage in several different computer magazines is a good basic "rule of thumb" for software notability, but enough academic coverage (not usage) may also suffice. Beware of poor arguments such as Wikipedia:Other stuff exists and those listed at Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. If this topic interests you, you might consider working on the Digital signage article which is not in the best of shape. --Bejnar (talk) 23:23, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Bejnar: If it's one thing Wikipedia has a complete list of, it's endless arguments on both sides of deletionism/inclusionism. But I will say that if an encyclopedia deigns to have articles on a certain topic, a consistent standard (erring towards liberality) ought to be in effect, such that topics that made it in the initial "Wiki land rush" don't crowd out newer and equally relevant/notable topics in the area concerned (free/open-source software in this case). Incidentally, citing the Wikipedia:Other stuff exists page itself: "it is important to realize that countering the keep or delete arguments of other people, or dismissing them outright, by simply referring them to this essay by name, and nothing else, is not encouraged."
I would broadly agree with your notion of notability, but "computer magazines" would not be a sensible criterion; they're little more than informational advertising in 2015 and most of what they cover would not be in Wikipedia as it stands presently. Perhaps better would be to say publications (online or off) of an editorial or descriptive nature. I had briefly considered doing something with the Digital signage article, but it's little more than a lot of industry-specific pabulum trying to sell enterprise software. It really doesn't describe any digital signage systems at all, and is concerned with it in a conceptual sense exclusively.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 00:18, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Bejnar: are you seriously stating that "computer magazines" should take precedence over academic source? This is backwards. Computer magazines can count as reliable sources for software, but that doesn't mean all other sources that are normally considered top-notch on Wikipedia stop counting. WP:NSOFT is an essay, not a guideline or policy, and WP:N certainly overrides any part of it that may seem to make notability of an article less attainable than under normal standards. LjL (talk) 13:26, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@LjL: No, I was making the distinction between academic coverage as opposed to academic usage of the software. The second results in brief mentions in academic articles, rather than substantive coverage. I certainly do give substantive coverage precedence over mere mention, regardless of the other attributes of reliable sources. --Bejnar (talk) 14:10, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Bejnar: I agree with coverage vs usage, but I was concerned with the wording that magazine coverage was a good rule of thumb while enough academic coverage may also suffice (my emphasis), as if implying that "enough" may not be enough when it comes to academic sources. LjL (talk) 14:15, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@LjL: No such intention. The verb "may" goes to both parts of the sentence hence the use of the word "also". The call is always a subjective one, see e.g. the Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 October 6 of the Jacques Peretth article. --Bejnar (talk) 14:37, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm afraid our discussion here has roamed well beyond the question at hand. There is no particular debate as to whether the article is in scope (WP:Wikipedia is not), verifiable (WP:Verifiability), or in possession of reliable sources (WP:Reliable Sources). The issue at hand is notability (WP:Notability). I've made some relativist arguments above as to why I see this as notable in the given category, but urge others to make their views known.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 05:09, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As you may have noticed that Swatling article has been mentioned before, above, by IP editor 69.204.153.39, and is a step towards notability, unfortunately the rest that the IP editor mentioned did not contain substantive coverage of Concerto Signage, The second article Design and Implementation of Scalable Multimedia Signage did not mnetion Concerto Signage at all. The three sentences of Haynes's 17 Slices Of Raspberry Pi For Digital Signage did not add much. Open Source Systems Applications (TCNJ) simply cites Concerto once without dicussion. The Master's thesis at [Digital screen for appointments and employees added essentially nothing. Conducting a Digital Signage CONCERTO is an eight slide power point presentation with minimal content. Like Haynes, Digital Signage Systems (AALL Spectrum) simply lists it. Raspberry Pod: Concerto – open source digital signage... documents the release of two usage videos. Finally, Tech At Last: Digital Signage Software provides four sentences in a list of such software. Altogether not very much. The proper place for mention of Concerto Signage, if at all, is in the article on digital signage. --Bejnar (talk) 00:46, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest I had not noticed that link was already covered, but I did seem to notice that that list of sources given was more looks than substance (even though I personally lean towards inclusion). I guess at least by duplicating it I've made the one relevant source stand out more, which can't be bad. LjL (talk) 00:50, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can't speak for all of the above sources, but I think you may have overlooked the content of some because they are behind paywalls. I was able to secure a copy of the Swatling paper, but my limited Google Cache explorations on some of the others suggest that their non-abstract text seems to be more substantive than you suggest. I wouldn't want to invoke WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, but I believe it bears repeating that for a piece of web software to have any scholarly mention is remarkable, certainly more remarkable than the unspeakably bad digital signage article, whose sources are primarily industry ad literature. I must also reiterate the phenomenally bad faith with which this article was nominated -- by a serial deletionist 2 minutes after submission who declined the editor/creator even the most basic of courtesy during a now 2-week discussion. --69.204.153.39 (talk) 01:56, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, I forgot about the paywall(s). And as I say, I do lean towards inclusionism, what with that third-party conference paper specifically about the software. LjL (talk) 01:59, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a politician, notable primarily as the mayor of a small town with a population of just 600 and as an unsuccessful candidate for the leadership of a political party.

Article Kinoshita Junsuke was originally deleted 11 Nov. 2014 under BLPPROD and then recreated the next day by an SPA under the current title. A citation was added, so it could no longer be PRODed, but that link no longer works. The content of the article largely matches the subject's personal website ([28]) and could be considered a copyright violation. I can determine that he did show a short film at the Tokatsu Film Festival (a small local festival in Japan) [29], but the site doesn't make clear if he won an award or not. The Russian wiki article on him (ru:Киносита,_Дзюнсукэ) has the assertions about success at some Japanese film festival in Moscow tagged for problems. His Japanese wikipedia article was deleted in 2011 for lack of notability ([30]). It seems he has also published a DVD on feng shui ([31]), and filmed a documentary about the dancer Iwata Morihiro ([32]), but there seem to be no independent RS out there discussing these. The only article I can find on him in Japanese is this (an interview: [33]), but it does not seem to be a reliable source. Perhaps there is something out there in Russian, but I can't find it. In short, this seems to be self-promotion of a figure who does not pass WP:GNG. Michitaro (talk) 22:14, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
