The page creator has the same name as the author of the book used as reference. The Amazing Spiderman (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for multiple reasons. For one thing, there's nothing wrong with you writing a Wikipedia article that relies primarily or entirely on information that you've written and had published in reliable sources, as long as you're not promoting yourself. In this case, it's completely acceptable; the author's not promoting himself at all, and it's from an article published in a solid academic journal (not a book), which is essentially always considered a reliable source. That's a reason to reject the nominator's statement, but not a reason to keep. The reason for keeping is that this subject is getting significant coverage. See the book chapter "Plasma Electrochemistry: A Novel Chemical Process for the Synthesis and Assembly of Nanomaterials". See DOI 10.1039/C2CP43431H and DOI 10.1039/C1CP20501C, both articles published in the journal Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. Those are just in the first page of Google results. This seems to be a new field in chemistry that's getting good coverage in scholarly publications, something that we should definitely cover. Nyttend (talk) 00:23, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Google Scholar and other sources assure me this is a notable topic. Since the topic is encyclopedic and can have verifiable and reputable sources, it's not proper to delete it. That said, a one-sentence article about of a topic of this nature isn't reasonable. Others knowledgeable of the field should mark the page for improvement and additional information such that a reader of Wikipedia might get basic understand of what is being described.--69.204.153.39 (talk) 02:34, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are unreliable and unknown websites. There is only one National geographic reference in internet, which is like a personal account that can opened by any photographer like a Flickr account. National Geographic websites allows photographers to have their personal account to upload their picture. Though i am impressed by his photography skills, it doesn't prove notability. The Amazing Spiderman (talk) 23:29, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -Indeed, his photography skills are admirable. But I found nothing written about him or his work in reliable secondary sources. ABF99 (talk) 00:42, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Hello The Amazing Spiderman. I declined the speedy deletion of Asutosh Kashyap, a page which you tagged for speedy deletion. I agree The sources are unreliable and unknown websites, but his photography skills are impressive, it prove notability because most of his work has been featured on tv shows, magazines, institute etc but not on some websites. He is a well known photographer in our country. Moreover his first book Snakes - The Uncrowned King of the Jungle, wasn't published online but he's one of the youngest to write an encyclopedia at age 15 and was appreciated by many notable person who have published significant works, and his second book will be published online. I have been on wikipedia for 1 year, 9 months and 13 days and have been contributing and featuring many articles. This is the first time, I have been facing such issue. I came across some articles that doesn't has a reliable sources but their wiki are still available. A person work must be appreciated rather than downgrade them. Thank you. Lonjing (talk) Lonjing (talk) 03:45, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment- Lonjing if you could add some of the links to tv shows, magazines and institutes that you mention to this article it would help other editors decide if this photographer/author meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. A person might be really talented, have published several books, etc., but unless other people have written or spoken about them extensively in "reliable sources" the person does not qualify for a Wiki article. Take a look at notability guidelines here and especially WP:Creative. ABF99 (talk) 05:30, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello ABF99. By using wikipedia, I agree to the Terms of Use and Policy. He was also facilitate by london herpetalogists for his book. It seems you enjoy discovering and researching about notable and not-so-notable people and organizations, Great. I believe the person does qualify for a Wiki article. I don't have enough links to produce, but in addition to that I can post the images. Having said that, I already proved my point that most of his works were showcase on shows and magazines rather than on websites for references, reliable sources not available online. It's upto Wikipedia community to decide whether the article tend to be kept or deleted. Hoping for a positive outcome. Lonjing (talk) Lonjing (talk) 06:25, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a writer with no substantive claim of notability under WP:AUTHOR for anything more than existing, which is resting entirely on primary (website of the company that publishes her work) and unreliable (her profile on GoodReads and reviews on blogspot blogs) sourcing with not a shred of reliable source coverage provided. A writer doesn't get an automatic inclusion freebie on here just because she exists; it takes media coverage which verifies that she passes a notability criterion. Delete.

This article should be deleted from wikipedia because it was created with spam blacklisted references, the SPA editor who created this page is clearly undisclosed paid editor with COI and violating wikipedia terms of service. The sole purpose of this article is to use wikipedia to promote the corp and disrupting Wikipedia's integrity.

There is no significance or notability proved by 2 references in article. Google search shows only press releases and passing casual mentions in news reports. "passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization" does not make a corporation notable see last point of WP:ORGDEPTH. The organization is not significant enough to have enough sources. Many search results on google are about the same word for other corps or use of word and combination of press releases, event mentions, routine coverage but not WP:ORGDEPTH.

  • Keep I was easily able to find good RS about the company: Cisco case study, Ernst and Young, lengthy review in sector journal. LaMona (talk) 23:04, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: LaMona's sources plus NY Times interview, Fortune article. I pruned this article in July and no one has come back to re-spamify it so probably safe on that front. Vrac (talk) 23:54, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - seems to be quite a bit out there on News. Onel5969 TT me 21:34, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I took some time and fleshed out the article with sources provided by LaMona and Vrac, plus some I found. IMO notability is now well-established. I think the promotional tone is all gone, too, but I'll let someone else remove those tags if they feel it's appropriate. The article could still stand to have a section on its corporate culture, which is interesting and has sources available, but there's only so much writing about businesses I can do in one day. —GrammarFascist contribstalk 05:57, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Zaqwert (talk) 03:05, September 15, 2015‎ (UTC) Note that this AfD was not properly formed with the standard AfD nomination template, nor listed on the central AfD nomination queue, and did not appear on any of the AfD indexes as a result. I have added the proper AfD template header to this page and manually added nominator Zaqwert's signature, etc. [1], and listed this AfD nomination on the Articles for Deletion log [2]. Cbl62 has listed this AfD on the AfD lists for American football and Alabama-related deletion discussions, as noted below. Concerned editors should now be able to find this discussion via the usual notices. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:36, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Assuming the nominator is correct that there are separate articles for each individual season, these decade articles are now redundant. I would support either deleting all of them or redirecting them to the main Alabama Crimson Tide football article. Cbl62 (talk) 19:46, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • More is required, EJ. Please see explanation above. The content creator attribution of cut-and-pasted content must be preserved for copyright and Wikipedia free-licensing purposes. See explanation immediately above. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:01, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not so sure that more is really required here. The individual season articles do not appear to be "cut-and-pasted" content, with the possible exception of the schedule, which is not copyrightable in any event. Instead, the individual season articles appear to be highly-detailed content, in most or all cases prepared by @Patriarca12:, bearing very little, if any, relationship to the old decade articles. In any event, I am fine with a "redirect" option, as noted above, though I think the idea of redirecting an article covering an entire decade to an article covering only one of the ten alleged "daughter" articles doesn't really make sense to me. A better option IMO is to redirect to the appropriate subheading of the true parent article, i.e., the decade article on the 1960s would be redirected to Alabama Crimson Tide football#Paul "Bear" Bryant era (1958–1982) and the decade article on the 1930s would be redirected to Alabama Crimson Tide football#Wade and Thomas (1923–1946). Cbl62 (talk) 21:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since we can only have one redirect per page, the target page of the redirect is a judgment call if there are multiple credible options. Your suggested redirects of the Alabama football by coaching eras are as good as any, but present the obvious problem of split decades during the coaching tenures. Given that we have only one redirect per page, to what article or specific article section would the decade articles for the 1900s, 1910s, 1920s and 1940s redirect? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:13, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • An Alabama person may have a better idea, but here would be my suggestions:
1900s and 1910s: redirect to Alabama Crimson Tide football#Early 1900s
1920s and 1930s: redirect to Alabama Crimson Tide football#Wade and Thomas (1923–1946)
1940s: redirect to Alabama Crimson Tide football#Drew and Whitworth (1947–1957)
1960s and 1970s: redirect to Alabama Crimson Tide football#Paul "Bear" Bryant era (1958–1982)
1980s: redirect to Alabama Crimson Tide football#Perkins and Curry (1983–1989) Cbl62 (talk) 22:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep the content is notable of each article. All that has happened is that each section of the history of the team is broken in to easily manageable and logical sections for separate articles.

Turkish footballer. I'm no football expert, but this guy's bio has far less sources than we expect a BLP to have, raising concerns both regarding WP:V and WP:N generally, and WP:NFOOTY specifically, as it seems that the teams he played for did not play in top-level leagues. But there may be relevant Turkish-language sources.  Sandstein  19:56, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Kekıllı appeared in 6 Turkish Super Lig (fully-pro league) matches for Kocaelispor which satisfies NFOOTY. Article needs some work, but that's not a reason to delete. Jogurney (talk) 03:05, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BIO1E. We now have an article about the "controversy", so this article is superfluous. Elizium23 (talk) 19:00, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I would tend to agree. This is covered in the controversy article which is a much better place for it since the issue deals with more than just her protest. Outside of this, she is not known for anything that would qualify her for her own page. --CNMall41 (talk) 19:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep – This woman has received significant, lasting news coverage since her arrest, and isn't just some random person but is an elected politician in Kentucky, so that adds to her notability. The same-sex marriage controversy is what majorly makes her notable enough for her own article. Per WP:BIO1E, "If media coverage of both the event and the individual's role grow larger, separate articles may become justified." SuperCarnivore591 (talk) 19:24, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep and move to Kim Davis same-sex marriage license controversy and delete Kentucky same-sex marriage license controversy (a new article that should not have been created and has very few contributors) – The person who made this nomination is ignorant of the discussion that has been taking place since mid-September about this article's existence and it's name and has not contributed to the recent discussion or to very much improvement of this article. At Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Requests for closure, the editors and I who have maintained this Kim Davis article are waiting for an administrator to decide on the matter of whether or not there should be one article about Kim Davis' controversy or two articles: one about Kim Davis' biography and another of her controversy (and possibly a third about all of the clerks in Kentucky). This is a time-wasting, drive-by nomination and should be considered as such. I would like to convince the editor who made this nomination to catch up with current events (Davis has been in the news this week regarding the less-than-truthful way her attorneys characterized her meeting with the pope), catch up with the recent discussion (multiple editors contribute multiple ideas to this article's talk page multiple times per day), and consider the idea of moving this article to Kim Davis same-sex marriage license controversy and consider the idea of nominating Kentucky same-sex marriage license controversy for deletion. Prhartcom (talk) 19:42, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep On procedural grounds this afd should be stopped because there are ongoing RFC's that predate this afd on similar topics as raised here. In any event there is notability of the person, that there was a spinoff article is no reason to delete the main article, so Keep. AlbinoFerret 20:20, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvious Keep - The subject of the article is at the center of a historic series of events directly related to the most significant civil rights legal case of the past 40-plus years. As noted in WP:BIO1E: "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Davis has taken her fight to SCOTUS; she's been jailed for contempt of court; she's the subject of satire and parody; and she has even managed to meet the Pope. Here are some additional facts to consider:
  • Since this article was created 32 days ago, it has been viewed 327,566 times
  • Someone is reads the article every 9 seconds
  • The article is referenced to 123 reliable sources
  • 154 contributors helped to build the article
  • Google has indexed 467 news articles about Kim Davis
  • Fox News has 162 articles about Kim Davis
  • CNN has 310 articles about Kim Davis
  • The New York Times has 268 articles about Kim Davis
  • Kim Davis has been the subject of newspaper coverage across the globe including Le Figaro, Le Monde, the Sydney Morning Herald, and The Hindu
  • Kim Davis has received persistent news coverage for more than 3 months
The reasons why we have notability standards is because 'We require "significant coverage" in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic." This subject easily and obviously meets WP:POLITICIAN (#2) and WP:GNG, and in no way violates WP:BLP or WP:NOT.- MrX 20:27, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also noting that I strongly oppose renaming this article as noted in my arguments in the talk page [4]. A move request is the correct process for renaming an article, not AfD.- MrX 15:11, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep and move to Kim Davis same-sex marriage license controversy and delete Kentucky same-sex marriage license controversy (a new article that should not have been created and has very few contributors) (per Prhartcom). There should not be two identical articles. -- BullRangifer (talk) 21:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete I've never agreed this article should exist and voted delete previously. The article on the incident is sufficient; Kim Davis is an absolute 1E, a one-hit-non-wonder. It's her actions and the fallout from them that are the subject, not her. Notability isn't inherited through other persons nor is it inherited via events that center around an incident (or incidents). -- WV 21:13, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • WV, the previous result was a clear snow keep: 19 keep, 2 delete, 1 redirect. Your contention that the article should be about the event, and not the person, fails to note that the article is indeed primarily about the event, and then some biographical content is justified. This controversy is focused on the actions of Kim Davis, since the other two clerks in Kentucky who object haven't made any notable splash in RS. That forces us to follow COMMONNAME and what RS say and keep her name in the title, BUT it's not the optimal title; we also need to move it to the more descriptive title of Kim Davis same-sex marriage license controversy and delete Kentucky same-sex marriage license controversy (since it's pretty much identical, and we can move their short mention to this article). -- BullRangifer (talk) 01:33, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, move, redirect or merge - I think that even if Davis is not significant, that the incident is. Therefore, if the article about Davis (which probably should remain) cannot be kept, it should be merged with Kentucky same-sex marriage license controversy at a title to be later determined.

  • Strong Keep Subject was arguably notable before the controversy and the Pope flap can be argued to be a second controversy involving her. Also, this is an obvious keep per her wide notoriety even if commonly believed to be tied to a single controversy. Kim Davis is a notable person, period. Stevie is the man! TalkWork 23:42, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but rename. Article is not about the clerk but the controversy, and the article should be so titled. Coretheapple (talk) 00:02, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Given that there's already an ongoing discussion on the Davis page about these issues, this nomination is rather unhelpful. Branching off into other places to mere rehash the same things that are already being talked about isn't a good thing. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 01:16, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Matter already covered in controversy article. It seems quite a few editors in the US of A think any individual involved in a single controversy or who has met the Pope is notable enough for a BLP. This is a clear-cut case of WP:GEOBIAS. In the UK a few years ago, a couple refuse to allow a gay couple to share a bed at their guest house, on the basis of their "Christian values" They were ordered to pay compensation and lost all appeals. This controversy does not have an article, let alone a BLP for the guest house owners. If this happened in South Africa or New Zealand or Greenland would an article have been created? This is also a clear case of WP:ONEEVENT. "Being in the news does not in itself mean that someone should be the subject of a Wikipedia article" Also, take note of this "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate. The assassins of major political leaders, such as Gavrilo Princip, fit into this category, as indicated by the large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role." Are editors here now arguing Davis is as notable as a political assassin? AusLondonder (talk) 04:00, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The controversy is indeed far more notable then Davis herself, but the two pages are linked right now in terms of ongoing editorial disputes. The stick is far from being dropped, so to speak. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:54, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
AusLondonder, like the nominator, it doesn't sound like you have read the article or understand the situation. Please read the comments above. Please actually read the Kim Davis article and notice that it is much more well-researched and well-sourced than the Kentucky article. If you object to the existence of two articles on this subject, please understand that the Kentucky article is the one that needs to be deleted and the Kim Davis article needs to be renamed to Kim Davis same-sex marriage license controversy and become the controversy article.

  • Keep clearly meets notability and the article is well-sourced.--JumpLike23 (talk) 04:33, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I guess in terms of wanting respect for procedure, I'm going to go ahead and formally just note that I want the article to be kept at least for now. Ideally, I think that Davis is not as notable as the controversy that she created and the negative social, cultural, and political influences from her malign actions (not to mention that this is an ongoing matter). The best solution could very well be for there to be no Kim Davis article and all of the related content moved over to the Kentucky same-sex marriage license controversy article. That's what I predict will eventually happen since it's most in line with Wikipedia guidelines. Until then, though, the necessary option is to keep this article. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 04:54, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - meets notability and is well-sourced. It is not unusual for an elected official that has garnered a fraction of this much attention to have a far less detailed article. This seems like a valid keep. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 07:51, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. There is no "controversy" beyond her, and she is, while loathsome, internationally notable. This article should be kept, and the article on the "controversy" deleted, since the only purpose that article serves is to try to not have an article about Davis personally. The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:17, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"Internationally notable"? How many people in India have heard of it? Have you read WP:ONEEVENT, by the way? AusLondonder (talk) 08:29, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in Australia, and I've heard about her plenty, so yes, "internationally notable". Trying to have this deleted on the basis of WP:ONEEVENT makes no sense because there is no event, there's an antagonist. Her actions, her court cases, her political interactions, the story is about her personally and not one thing. People are hella grasping at straws here to find an "event" that they can use to try to justify WP:ONEEVENT on because there isn't one, and if they succeed our content will be the worse for it: were we covering a similar equivalent twenty years ago, we would unquestionably be writing about the antagonist themselves, not a faux-"controversy" article. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:49, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in Mexico and was recently involved in a discussion with people from Belize, Jamamica, Barbados and Trinidad on this very topic. She is internationally recognized. Her, not an event. Her actions are being questioned on the basis of her claim that she can break a law with impunity when she is a public officer. Her story and actions are much bigger than just the same-sex marriage controversy. SusunW (talk) 05:42, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Regrettable but definite Keep. I hate to recognize her noteworthiness, but she has certainly become noteworthy. I intentionally avoided adding her name to the "Same-Sex Marriage in the United States" page to avoid giving her fame she didn't deserve. Eventually however her name was in the news so much that it couldn't be denied that she is at least infamous on a national if not international scale. One hit wonder or not, she is notable in history. The aforementioned reasons others have listed here are more than enough reason to close this rfD now.

  • Keep - We are still hearing about her on the news, and this will continue to be something that can be brought up during the ongoing same-sex marriage controversy in the U.S. She seems notable enough for her own article. Versus001 (talk) 19:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article contains over a 100 references. That is enough to show notability. JDDJS (talk) 04:40, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep no merger. She is notable for her actions, the same as George Wallace was notable for his, Rodney King was notable for his, or Jim Jones was notable for his. As stated above, from an international perspective her actions are much broader than simply a same-sex marriage controversy and a merger to an article entitled with her name and the same-sex marriage controversy would be inappropriate. Events and the people, as historically shown by the examples given, are not the same. The issue of whether a public official can flaunt the law or a portion of it is not the same as a simple case of refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses. SusunW (talk) 05:42, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comparing Kim Davis with George Wallace? He was a governor of a state and a presidential candidate -- Kim Davis doesn't come anywhere close to his stature. Comparing her with Rodney King? That's a strange segue -- he asked everybody to get along. Davis has done that? Comparing her with mass-murderer Jim Jones? Good heavens. That's an even stranger segue. They were all notorious and famous for numerous reasons. Kim Davis is a 1E; this article and Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS. -- WV 15:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Winkelvi Actually, there are aspects of similarity to all three. Most similar event to Wallace's. Her case is similar to King's in that he was non-notable before the event. He was a taxi driver. After the event, he was scrutinized repeatedly for the remainder of his life. Jim Jones as well. Little known pastor, until he moved to California and began courting media attention. After, the event his life was scrutinized in minute detail. However her stance works out on the same-sex marriage issue, it would seem she will remain on the public stage, if our history is any guide. SusunW (talk) 22:23, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
History is a guide in my comments above and my comments now: Wallace wasn't a one-hit-non-wonder like Kim Davis. She is known for one event. That's it. Wallace was a long-term Governor and well-known politician in the South. He ran for president. There's no comparison between the two. Rodney King was known for one event, however, his one event became a trial. Big difference. And, truthfully, I think he would be insulted to be compared to Davis. Jim Jones was known long before Jonestown in his home state of Indiana and in the San Francisco and Northern California areas. Again, your examples are non-applicable. I know, however, that I won't convince you of that. For whatever reason, you've decided that a 1E individual deserves an encyclopedia article about her regardless of how this encyclopedia is WP:NOTNEWS. -- WV 00:18, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, Kim Davis is known for several events: winning an election, denying marriage licenses to same-sex couples, petitioning the Supreme Court, going to jail for contempt of court, and for exaggerating her brief meeting with the Pope. WP:BLP1E exists so that we don't create articles about private citizens who have had brief flurries of fame, for example, for being arrested for drunk driving. WP:BIO1E exists so that we don't have articles about low-profile people who have had insignificant roles in single events, such as George Holliday, who videotaped the Rodney King beating. - MrX 00:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Winning an election: A local election. Not notable -- we don't do articles on elected officials in podunk towns that have no notability just because they are elected officials. Denying marriage licenses: That's covered in WP:1E. Petitioning the Supreme Court, going to jail for contempt, allowing her attorney to exaggerate her moment with the Pope: none of these things are notable. What has given her pseudo-notability is the news media. And policy on that kind of thing is covered in WP:NOTNEWS. -- WV 01:15, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The multitude of sources that cover each of these events disagree.- MrX 01:42, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NOTNEWS. Just because it's covered, that doesn't make it notable, content- or article-worthy. -- WV 02:15, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep - She has garnered national attention with a deluge of press articles, legal proceedings, even meeting with the Pope. She is notable and the article meets the requirements of notability. 97.126.235.119 (talk) 06:50, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"She earned this article" Huh? Article subjects "earn" articles in Wikipedia as if it is a prize? That's certainly not the focus of the encyclopedia. Can't say I'm sure how you came to believe this. Please see directly above for how comparing her to Wallace is not applicable. Also, please remember that Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWS. -- WV 15:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think I clarified the issue. Your views are your views and my views are my views. It's ok if they are different, but it begs the question why would you lobby so strongly against an article that has more sources that most bios. 97.126.235.119 (talk) 19:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • rename to event/merge to event article per WP:BLP1E no coverage other than that directly related to her actions on the same sex marriage, all we can do is create a pseudo biography. Miller v. Davis is a potential merge/redirect target. Once she becomes a FOX talkshow host, then maybe. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:37, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Perhaps you could explain why you think the subject meets the three criteria of WP:BLP1E, especially #2 and #3.- MrX 20:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    it is covered in the linked policy at WP:1E - there is no indication we are ever going to be able to write anything about Davis that is not simply a pseudo biography WP:PSEUDO duplicating content from the article about the event. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:08, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    That WP:VAGUEWAVE doesn't answer the question. I'll make it easy for you: Criteria #2 states "If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual". In turn, Who is a low profile individual states: "A low-profile individual is someone who has been covered in reliable sources without seeking such attention, often as part of their connection with a single event." How can her stumping with Huckabee and hobnobbing with the Pope be seen as anything other than seeking attention?- MrX 21:21, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    with re: 2) as someone who is known for not doing her job, it is hard to claim with a straight face that you foresee she is going to be noted for something else. But if that is not going to satisfy you, then ignore that I linked to WP:BLP1E and just utilize WP:1E and WP:PSEUDO. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 21:32, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Per WP:1E: "ff the event is highly significant (it is), and the individual's role within it is a large one (it is), a separate article is generally appropriate (it is). The essay that you linked to, while interesting, does not carry the weight of consensus, nor is it applicable to this subject.- MrX 22:51, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Precisely WHAT is relevant / important about her that is not appropriately covered/coverable in the article(s) about the event? *::::::And while the "essay" clearly explains what a pseudo biography is and why its bad, it is the WP:Notability_(people)#People_notable_for_only_one_event which tells us not to create one: "Editors are advised to be cognizant of issues of weight and to avoid the creation of unnecessary pseudo-biographies, especially of living people." -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 00:37, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/rename into event entry She is only relevant due to this event. The event is notable and she absolutely has a place on the entry for that event, but Kim Davis as a person does not need a separate page. Leuqarte (talk) 22:25, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per MrX, but rename to Kim Davis same-sex marriage license controversy for obvious BLP1E reasons. IntelligenceAgent (talk) 00:12, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I agree with SusunW's analysis, including the subsequent commentary. Kim Davis is notable not just for the one event, but several other events that sprang from that, and now also for the Vatican's denial of her version of events when meeting with the pope. In addition to BIO1E's suggestion that if she's significant within the event, she deserves her own article (like George Wallace), she now fails to meet any of the criteria in the complementary guideline of BLP1E, which suggests deleting or not creating a biography only if all of the criteria are met. Robin Hood  (talk) 01:09, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is not WP:1E. Coverage of the subject has moved past what would be expected if the coverage was only of one event. Without finding the exact citation, there has been coverage about the subject's change in political affiliation, her religious beliefs, and electoral history. This subject-matter coverage is only tangentially related to the controversy and background of Kentucky same-sex marriage license controversy and Miller v. Davis. That said, the article should be trimmed and portions of the material moved to the other pages to ensure appropriate weight to the subject. Enos733 (talk) 04:58, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Not quite comparable to George Wallace (even without the stand in the schoolhouse door, being governor of Alabama is notable in and of itself), but the coverage in this case has been long-lasting and become a topic in the US presidential race with two candidates, Huckabee and Cruz, openly supporting her. Per the BLP1E concern, the proposal to rename the article into one on the controversy is reasonable. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:52, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- Sometimes, an issue like this becomes a cause celebre. It will be cited as a precedent; so worth keeping. However, she will probably remain famous only for the stand that she took, so that an appropriate rename would be good. Nevertheless, we only need one article on this. Others should be redirected to it. Kim Davis marriage license controversy might be an appropriate title, but if she gains notability for other reasons, we can move it back. I would compare this with notorious child murders, which the article commonly ends off as something like "murder of Jane Foo". Peterkingiron (talk) 15:47, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A local councillor might get over WP:NPOL #3 if enough reliable source coverage were shown to confer a WP:GNG pass, but that hasn't been demonstrated here — and a person who didn't win election to Parliament gets an article only if you can show that he was already notable enough for an article before he was a candidate, so that doesn't count for anything either.

  • I mainly think that I'm not surprised. These faux journals generally come in groups - sometimes very large groups - coming from the same publisher. The user is undoubtedly a COI. All that we can do is catch them as they are added to WP and delete them -- I don't see any way to prevent them. I'm also curious about the ISSN process. I didn't see anything on the page about payment, but I assume that there is some payment for them. The Indian ISSN agency is issuing ISSNs for these journals, and it's hard to believe that they don't know that these journals may never result in anything when a publisher asks for dozens of them at a time. Then again, among these opportunistic journals there may be some legitimate ones, ones that actually provide an outlet for scholars who can't compete with first world researchers. It's a huge dilemma. In any case, I think we should consider longevity for journals -- that they have to have published for n years OR have had some extraordinary, verifiable, short history. That would eliminate most of these bogus startups.LaMona (talk) 13:53, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This video game character is not the subject of in-depth (significant) coverage across multiple reliable, independent sources. (?) Everything noteworthy about this character (which tends to be passing mentions/listicles about his in-fictional-universe context) can be adequately explained in the main video game's article. (A redirect there would be sufficient.) Tenpenny had no in-depth coverage in a video game reliable sources custom Google search. If someone finds more (non-English and offline) sources, please {{ping}} me. czar 15:21, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The only "books" that Tenpenny is mentioned in, besides books about Grand Theft Auto itself (i.e. The Meaning and Culture of Grand Theft Auto) appear to be small (and unreliable) fan books. As for the four sources that you provided: three are listicles, and one only has a passing mention (literally one sentence, in brackets). I'm not saying that the character/performance wasn't critically acclaimed, but unless a number of reliable independent sources provide in-depth coverage on Tenpenny, the article should be redirected. – Rhain1999 (talk to me) 09:40, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And whatever would even constitute this "in-depth coverage on Tenpenny"? And when you know what you look for, did you even try? Arguably the single best received non-protagonist in one of the all-time best selling and most popular pieces of pop culture worldwide, "not noteworthy". --AggressiveNavel (talk) 10:52, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think czar summed it up quite well here: "we should only be writing about characters that get actual coverage about them as individuals (notability). It has little to do with what you feel has sources/worth, but more with what the sources have had to say about it. Ellie (The Last of Us) is an excellent example of a character that has been discussed in depth by sources, and it shows.". As for Tenpenny being the "single best received non-protagonist": while I could certainly provide many examples against that, I shan't on the basis that you have not provided any sources that support your statement. It's not about what we personally find "noteworthy", it's how reliable sources discuss the character as an individual, and the amount and depth of these sources determine their notability. – Rhain1999 (talk to me) 11:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And "how reliable sources discuss the character as an individual, and the amount and depth of these sources determine their notability" in this case here? Every PS2, PC and multiplatform magazine and website had San Andreas reviews and various features, and later there were all kinds of retrospective articles, how many of them did you check? Actually I don't know anything about Ellie, but is "presmably-less-than-Ellie" a threshold of being not "noteworthy" now? How about someone being discussed more-than-Ellie, will she be redirected then? AggressiveNavel (talk) 11:29, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you can provide the retrospective articles about Tenpenny that I somehow did not find during my brief search, I would be happy to take a look. Also, Ellie doesn't really have much to do with this article; she's just an example of a character that has been discussed in depth by sources. – Rhain1999 (talk to me) 12:20, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So what publications did you include in your search, looking for what exactly, and with what results? I did mine, it was quick indeed and only online. So here's for example this: [9] "He remains the ultimate GTA bad guy" spoken in 2012, with GTA having been at that point already one of the most successful entertainment franchises in human history despite being "only video games", but this is is probably still not "noteworthy". How absurd is that? Or [10] in a similar vein. Or maybe something different: [11] and when we're at it, [12] (GamesRadar staff) and [13] (GamePro staff, amusingly referencing their illustration to Wikipedia! Ah, the Wikipedia before the deletionism took over and since then only became ever worse) in addition to the one by IGN that the article already has. And so on. I can go on with without even touching reviews and it's just stuff online, readily easy to find by anyone, yet allegedly nonexistying because Czar said so and said nope, nothing noteworthy here move along (and did I mention his original action was to just redirect a whole article without any discussion?). We really shouldn't be even discussing that. I see you were present at a discussion 2 years about merging the article to List of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas characters. Well you know what the Czar did with THAT article (the list), without consulting anyone? Click and you'll find out! I myself only just noticed. --AggressiveNavel (talk) 12:28, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Neutral at the moment. One one hand, the sources present so far don't seem to constitute significant coverage, they're mostly passing mentions in listicles and generic "This gangster's a badass" "This guy is so bad"-type empty commentary. On the other hand, his respective game has sold tens of millions of copies I believe, so I also would we surprised if there wasn't enough coverage out there somewhere to meet the GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 20:10, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sergecross73, what again? With your "some Virtual Fighter game" about Namco and Ridge Racer, and your confusing an uniformed policeman with a gangster now, it's like reading a Polygon article. And these sources, also the few examples I just showed here, are rather about Tenpenny's sheer evilness, as he's commonly considered one of the best villains in gaming history, plus Jackson's excellent voice acting. But yes it was the best-selling game on the PS2, with stellar reviews and tons of awards too. --AggressiveNavel (talk) 21:07, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Stricken/corrected. I was thinking of Carl Johnson (Grand Theft Auto). Point still stands though, the article is severely lacking in content and sources. About 75% is in-universe plot summary, and then you've got a tiny reception section that notes there was a 35th place best- villain placement, and a 87th place villain placement, and an award Samuel L Jackson got on it. Sergecross73 msg me 22:41, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
35th out of how many? There are uncounted thousands of major villains in games. Is it tens or hundreds of thousands now? Did I say commonly? Here are some more: [14] [15] --AggressiveNavel (talk) 23:45, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter "out of how many", it matters how many sources covered the subject in significant detail. I'm currently leaning towards the other 3 redirects so far - I don't understand how any of the listicle sources you keep presenting are ever going to elevate the reception section out of anything more than a repetitive cycle of "Website X ranked him 57th best bad guy. Author Y of website X said "I liked how he was bad." What else is there? Sergecross73 msg me 23:57, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'd show you what I'd do it with it, with a real research which I didn't even yet, nobody did, but now I don't even want to waste my time for what will be a pointless exercise in futility. It's a poor article now, yes, but you're never going to be satisfied. Between your unrealistic exceptions and your disparaging attitude, complete with you originally commenting not even knowing what article is discussed but having your deletionist mindset fully set already, it just isn't worth it. And I know CJ's next, and all the other GTA protagonists, as you already commented how CJ is nothing but "only a badass gangster" with what you call "passing mentions" and so in your mind he's got to go. Which is a shame, but guess I have to learn not to care. --AggressiveNavel (talk) 10:26, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per Rhain1999's comments. 86.44.79.61 (talk) 23:04, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - per my comments above. Certainly a plausible search term, and should have content present at the parent article, but there's not significant coverage dedicated to the subject of the article - the character. All the sources that have been brought up so far are passing mentions with very little content or substance... Sergecross73 msg me 03:06, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if you and others even understand what "redirectig" here even means. Because the list of the characters has been redirected already, to a bief article section that says "The Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer's Edition lists it as the video game with the largest voice cast" and despite an unprecedented consumer and media attention it seems nothing there in its characters is otherwise "noteworthy" anyway, except of CJ for a time being. Like there's Development of Fez as it's super noteworthy while of course there's no development of San Andreas article and son no sub-articles of any kind because Wikipedia clearly has priorities. So what redirecting here (which has already happened) meant for an extemely successful and critically acclaimed character, considered by many one of the greatest not only in the pop culture phenomenon that is GTA but also in the very history of games, is he's been erased completely except his mentions in the plot and a note who voiced him which is all that remains. But let's keep it up and just erase all GTA characters everywhere, then all game characters, and their lists too of course. Because yes lots of other lists already have been redirected recently, it's not enough to listify anymore and everything needs to be purged completely. So this is what "redirecting" means in this context. And with this I'm going to leave you here, because I'm burned out. --AggressiveNavel (talk) 10:26, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The jabs and snippiness really isn't appreciated, and won't get your argument anywhere. Development of Fez exists because some editors realised that the development itself was notable, so they took the effort to create a separate article. Clearly, no-one has taken the effort to do the same with San Andreas; this is down to the lack of interest from individual editors, not "because Wikipedia clearly has priorities". If you have found sources that support Tenpenny being "an extremely successful and critically acclaimed character" (of the five provided above, four are listicles and one is a passing mention), by all means write something in draftspace. But complaining about the recent deletions and redirects on Wikipedia (which all seem to be warranted, and supported by guidelines, in my opinion) will not support your argument. – Rhain1999 (talk to me) 11:13, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per the GamesRadar and GameInformer sources brought up here, and the IGN source cited in the article, which goes rather in-depth with the character. These sources also discuss why he's important to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The fact that these are listicles should not even be relevant, just as long as they constitute as significant coverage, which I would argue for with those sources. I'm not convinced that that his article should be condensed into the San Andreas article (which is already a rather big article) instead of just keeping his own article. Kokoro20 (talk) 12:08, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That they are "listicles" means that they are only important to the author alongside 9 or 99 other characters. We don't keep WP articles for the aggregation of throwaway superlatives. I see no reason given why the little coverage called "rather in-depth" would not be adequately covered in a character list within the main article, which has no extant length concerns. czar 22:59, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Coverage is coverage. It does not matter if it comes from a listicle. If anything, being included in a lot of listicles shows that the character is more important than others, making them deserve their own article (at least as long as the listicles in question don't only constitute passing mentions, which they don't). Kokoro20 (talk) 01:29, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, no, "coverage is coverage" is not true. Many of these listicles are closer to passing mentions, and they're not saying much of substance that would create actual content in the article. Still not sure how it would evolve out of its current status of 75% plot summary, 25% journalists saying "This bad guy is bad." Sergecross73 msg me 16:45, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, some listicles do only consist of passing mentions, but others do not. My point was, people seem to be discounting listicles here, just because they're listicles, without taking the context of the listicles in question into consideration. That's what I meant when I said "coverage is coverage". Some of the listicles brought up here definitely consist of more than just passing mentions, if you ask me.

That UN map is extremely problematic, and I do not regard it as a reliable source. There are a number of W. Sahara stub articles for which it is apparently the only source, and I have been unable to verify that any of them genuinely exist. It shows a road passing through Chalwa and running north into Morocco which I can find no trace of. I have looked at this and numerous other spots in aerial mapping, and have not been able to find a trace of any them. We cannot even verify from this map that it is a settlement; for all we know it could be a military base or even an uninhabited crossroads, assuming that it is even there. All we can verify from the map is the placename, and historically we have not considered that good enough justification for an article. I have not found a source for the cartography in this map, and given the problems in matching it up with other mapping (and especially aerial imaging) I don't think it can be assumed that it is based upon accurate information; and the first requirement of a reliable source is that it be accurate.

This article freely mixes WP:OR and WP:SYN with speculative nonsense. Guy (Help!) 11:14, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as human WP:SYN; the only sources that deal with the subject directly are WP:PRIMARY papers from the Human Photosynthesis Study Center (whose website will sell you a box of "QIAPI 1" photosynthesis pills for $55), the other two refer to related melanin processes without going so far as calling it "photosynthesis". The rest seems WP:OR; concluding that a long-distance swimmer was possibly photosynthesing because they had a suntan is ridiculous. There may be an article to be written about fringe theories of human photosynthesis, but not with any of this content. --McGeddon (talk) 11:32, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/merge It is well established that human photosynthesise Vitamin D - see here for details. The BBC has an interesting account of other possibilities, based upon the traits of other animals. Between the two ideas, there seems to be something to say. Andrew D. (talk) 16:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And this is what the BBC article has to say about the topic of this article “If you imagine a person who had to get all of their energy from the sun, they’d have to be very still. Then, they’d need a high surface area, with leafy protrusions. At that point, the person’s a tree.”[17] I do not see how that supports the notability of this article. JbhTalk 15:56, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep/merge Name change to Human Phototrophism? This name is more accurate for the described phenomenon. The mechanism described is sound, and it is in the hypothetical stages. Solis-Herrera's article is not the only source demonstrating melanin-catalyzed energy production from light. The article about the melanized pectin of birds (humans have melanin in their eye too) and vertebrate phototrophism, and also the article about melanized fungus that are able to grow larger when presented with electromagnetic radiation (light) demonstrate that melanized organisms are able to create energy from light. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PhototrophicHuman (talkcontribs) 16:53, 3 October 2015 (UTC) Note to closing admin: PhototrophicHuman (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. [reply]
If the article is really about human phototrophism, rather than photosynthesis, then what does it have to do with people who claim to go without food? (Or even worse, without water!?) It's not clear what the scope of the article is meant to be, and it runs into problems with WP:SYNTH by making connections between these different topics. Even if the scope can be clarified, the topics are all within the range of WP:FRINGE and will need reliable sources which may be hard to find or nonexistent. --Amble (talk) 23:03, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I agree with the arguments above that this is WP:OR and WP:SYN. The journal articles are all either not credible or not relevant, so RS is an issue as well. OJPsych and Neuroscience and Medicine are published by Scientific Research Publishing (SCIRP), which is on Beall's list of predatory open access publishers. PLOS One is peer reviewed, but doesn't really have standards for inclusion. The Journal of Neurological Sciences (Turkish) is peer reviewed, though small and open-access. Current Biology is a real journal, although there are some very similarly named fake ones. So, yes, this is OR, SYN and speculative nonsense. CoI disclaimer: I have no competing interests and have not edited the article. Voting editors with a potential conflict of interest should disclose that here. Roches (talk) 19:43, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Topic is not supported by WP:MEDRS. Fails WP:GNG if there is any research into this it is WP:FRINGE. While there may be research that can be shoehorned into the topic area I see nothing to be taken seriously in an article claiming any main stream scientific support for investigation into or study of, as the article says, "the human body [being] able to photosynthesise in the same way as a plant." JbhTalk 03:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
In fairness that first line is my own hasty summary when giving the article some basic cleanup: the article originally opened "The Mechanism of Human Photosynthesis, or Phototrophism, has been hypothesized by neuroscientist Ty Shedleski." and was later edited to go straight into "Human photosynthesis, or more accurately human phototrophism, is made possible by melanin absorbing energy...". --McGeddon (talk) 16:21, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - it's a notable topic of high interest to the general public with enough available sources. Wikipedia articles shouldn't speculate themselves but convey the speculations of authorities in the particular field in a way that makes it clear to the reader that said are speculations and not established facts (the article should be checked for this if it's not already in line with that).
A short and on-point summary of the current stance of things and the various speculations on human photosynthesis can be and in this case is appropiate for a wiki-article and of high notability. More references are needed though (which is not a case of deleting the article but of improving it). --Fixuture (talk) 18:27, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amongst the multiple issues already highlighted about this article is the lack of notability. I can find only this source that mentions the subject and I wouldn't consider it as reliable. I would merge this into the season article but there is no source and I only found a passing mention on the Euroleague website.

  • Comment Should be deleted if it fails WP:V with no cited sources since being tagged in 2013. Otherwise, merge to 2009–10 Euroleague if there is consensus that this is useful. Is there a reason attendance needs to be a standalone article? Even if it is shown to meet WP:GNG with significant coverage and proven that WP:NOTSTATS is not applicable, the WP:N guideline advises: "This is not a guarantee that a topic will necessarily be handled as a separate, stand-alone page. Editors may use their discretion to merge or group two or more related topics into a single article."—Bagumba (talk) 07:25, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Why not just put this into the Euroleague season page? Would not these info be useful? I don't understand the concept of wanting to delete everything. Actually, I believe other Euroleague season pages also have attendance listings. Maybe this is more in depth, but similar listings or whatever. I think don't delete this info, just put it into the relevant article, which is where it probably should have originally been put, rather than a separate article. But I can understand this concept of wanting to delete anything that has relevant info in it. This has relevant info in it, as would pertain to that Euroleague season article.

The article fails WP:N, almost all the sources are primary self-published and advocacy sources written by himself, failing WP:BLPSPS. Right now the article is working as self-promotion and publicity WP:SPIP. Rupert Loup (talk) 09:04, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Rupert is a dishonest agenda editor with a mission across all of wikipedia. Just check the contributions. I mean how can you put this tag on this page and be serious? And the CLAIMS oh my word. Self-published, where does it say that?--Inayity (talk) 18:23, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just on a factual note, quite a lot of the references in the article do appear to be written by the subject. Rather than attacking the nominator, you would be better advised to demonstrate that the subject meets the notability guidelines, Inayity. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:02, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just another note this particular nominator has been sweeping across wikipedia deleting one website. Now are you saying this page is NOT notable? Or is the issue something else?--Inayity (talk) 20:05, 3 October 2015 (UTC) I am sure Wiki has numerous treatments for a lot of problems do you think this deletion is sincere?--Inayity (talk) 20:06, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not offering a view, since I haven't had chance to review the sources properly. My point is just that the best way to counter a claim that a subject is not notable is to demonstrate that it is! Cordless Larry (talk) 20:08, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I just spent a great deal of my time reverting sweeping removals By Rupert Loup, I think you should look into that. --Inayity (talk) 20:14, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest taking this to WP:AN/I if you think there's a problem. In the meantime, I highly recommend engaging with the substance of the nomination here if you don't want the article to be deleted. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:20, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
What substances? The article is working for self-promotion according to one detractor? Tell me the director of 500 Years Later and Motherland is not notable? What about the claim of Self-published sources? Does Shahadah own AHS, or Pamaburuka (spelling) or African Exe? The problem here is it seems the spirit of wikipedia is often destroyed over the technical letter. Just nominating a page you do not like means what? I must waste time!--Inayity (talk) 20:25, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No he doesn't own them, but he did write those articles, and articles written by Shahadah himself do not establish his notability. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:33, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That is a different issue. Is Owen Alik Shahadah worthy of a wikipedia entry. And is this nomination done in Good faith? All of these issues of sources could be have been done with a tag like Runoko Rashidi, my sincere concern based upon the recent edit patterns of the person nominating these articles is an agenda. Now what is the problem with agendas? They are not in the best interest of anyone here, nor the people reading. We need to deal with that major problem first. This is the problem with this place. The rationale for the nomination is not even valid. --Inayity (talk) 20:42, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So there is a criteria that must be met even before you nominate an article. Has that been met? That is why I deleted the tag. Because If I wanted to I could just run around wikipedia deleting anyone I wanted (well not Chomsky or Obama). --Inayity (talk) 20:50, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No you couldn't - that's what this discussion is for. If someone maliciously nominates articles for deletion without good reason, then they will be kept following the discussion. Please do not remove an AfD tag from an article again. Cordless Larry (talk) 20:54, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. This is a strange one. A Google search returns lots of results, but after quite a lot of looking though those results, all of the mentions of Shahadah seem to be in passing.

Well your mission is to pretend this article is not notable. Did you meet him and he hurt your feelings? What is it with this crusade against one African editor? Tell us? So he is not mentioned anywhere in any books either? He is not mentioned on Al-Jazerra as a scholar either? And Al-Akram? Even in South Africa he is on SABC and here Poetry fights xenophobia. --Inayity (talk) 05:47, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for providing an additional citation to a source on Shahadah. The Official Website of the City of Johannesburg is a reliable, if often primary source, website. Unfortunately, an article about a school poetry and debate contest in which the sole mention of Shahadah is that the winners were given, inter alia, a copy of his documentary film 500 Years Later does not add very much coverage, nor contribute much to his notability. --Bejnar (talk) 13:49, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for lack of significant coverage fails WP:GNG, fails WP:BLPNOTE, He is verifiably an international film producer whose films have won awards. However, does he meet any of the criteria at WP:CREATIVE? The answer unfortunately is no, and what it boils down to is lack of significant coverage. The only in depth coverage was an interview. See the essay at WP:Interviews. The reliable sources have one passing mention. The analysis of the sources currently in the article confirm the conclusion reached by the nominator, Rupert Loup, and others, namely the sources are mostly self-published or primary sources. The reliable sources do not contribute significantly toward notability. There is a noticible lack of in depth coverage.
  • FN1. a reliable source, Aljazeera, with one sentence about Shahadah. Good for verification, not much toward notability.
  • FN2. a self-published source, his film's website, not useful for verification, useful only for noncontroversial data, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN3. a self-published source, his film's website, as above
  • FN4. a cite to his own book, quite proper for a quotation, but add nothing to notability
  • FN5. his own website, not useful for verification, useful only for noncontroversial data, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN6. a reliable source, al-Akhbar. mention of his compilation and a quote not much toward coveerage or notability
  • FN7. an article by him, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN8. an article by him, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN9. an article by him, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN10. an article by him, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN11. an article by him, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN12. an article by him, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN13. an article by him, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN14. a reliable source, Catholic Information Service for Africa (Nairobi), verifies receipt of "UNESCO's Breaking the Chains Award", no coverage of Shahadah
  • FN15. a primary source, verifies that Motherland was an AMMA nominee, no coverage of Shahadah
  • FN16. a primary source, verifies that Motherland won award, no coverage of Shahadah
  • FN17. a primary source, verifies that Motherland won award, says: "From the director of the internationally acclaimed “500 Years Later” comes this gem of a film." which goes somewhat toward notability, but is not substantive.
  • FN18. an interview with Shahadah, consider a self-source, See WP:SELFSOURCE
  • FN19. an IMDB soundtrack listing, not a reliable source

Procedural comment re RFC: An inquiry has been made at the RFC procedure talk page whether the RFC filed here is improper. There's nothing in either the AfD process or the RFC process which necessarily makes it improper, but it would seem to me to at least be procedurally incompatible since AfD is a 7-day process and RFC is a 30-day process and the closing of the AfD is going to cut off the RFC before it can be completed. The AfD should not be extended to let the RFC play out, in my opinion; if the AfD is to be extended then it ought to be entirely for reasons other than the RFC. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 14:07, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks, TransporterMan. It seems to me that because an AfD is inherently a request for comments on the possible deletion of an article, the RfC template is unnecessary. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:19, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:TOOSOON. This up and coming director has not won any major awards yet, thus he has not appeared in any major media or similar reliable sources. If he were to enter in a major international film festival, or win a major award, then he would be notable.

ICommentThe subject won the UNICEF award @ ZIFF. The ZIFF site makes no mention of any affiliation w/ UNESCO. The use of UNESCO in the awards section borders on fabrication. Tapered (talk) 06:24, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at WP:ANYBIO, this is an "additional criteria" section of the policy. As it states further below: "Failing basic criteria but meeting additional criteria: If neither a satisfying explanation nor appropriate sources can be found for a standalone article, but the person meets one or more of the additional criteria: Merge the article into a broader article providing context...". Therefore this does not appear to be an argument on its own for keeping this article. AndrewRT(Talk) 18:54, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect I have looked through the sources cited and I'm afraid I have to agree with the other contributors above that they do not seem to amount to "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The only sources that could potentially have qualified are the Socialist Worker and RiceNPeas articles, but they were both more focussed on the film rather than the author. Therefore, I would suggest a redirect to 500 Years Later. AndrewRT(Talk) 18:41, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe she has not much articles in Mainstream newspapers but there are a lots of articles and interviews of Himanshi Khurana on many India level websites.

Per WP:TITLE and WP:MOS, article title is non-specific as to what road it is referring to. RegistryKey(RegEdit) 07:28, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep/give it more time It's a translation from JP wikipedia, and was AfD'd within minutes of creation. There is more in the JP article, albeit no references. The road may not have an actual name, or the translation may just be poor. We'll need someone with knowledge of Japanese to determine which it is. LaMona (talk) 00:24, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, but not in a great hurry. There is a category of road in Japan, described here: ja:農道 which we could translate as "agricultural road", except that this has no obvious meaning in English. It's an ordinary road, but is "designated" for agricultural purposes, and perhaps this affects budgeting or something. The picture on that ja page includes a green sign saying 一般農道, or "ordinary agricultural road"; this "ordinary" probably has some obscure bureaucratic significance, and there are probably "special" ones too. The "wide area" in this article title is a direct translation of 広域, but the actual meaning of this is almost certainly "stretches over more than one administrative area, so it's a bit bigger than 'local'". I suppose "regional" might do, but it might be a bit short on vapidity. So OK, this is a nondescript road around 15-20 km long from nowhere in particular to somewhere else. I really cannot see that this deserves an en:WP entry; if it did, we would have thousands of such entries, for which there is no plausible likelihood that there would ever be useful English language content. Imaginatorium (talk) 18:38, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Supplementary comment: We only have ja:WP as a source, but based on this, "article title is non-specific" does not apply. This is a failed translation of the designation of a specific road. So I think the grounds for deletion should be simply "Not notable". Imaginatorium (talk) 18:46, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Nom should never have nominated within 10 minutes of creation but that aside it's a non notable road anyway, There's been roads on here that have been better than this article and still they were deleted so if they were deleted then quite honestly this doesn't stand a chance!, Probably won't ever be improved so no point keeping it around. –Davey2010Talk 02:26, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nominator. I can't see any evidence he is "best known" for anything. His books have had no reviews as far as I can see (and GHD Publihsers appear to have produced no other books, suggesting these may be self-published). With such an unusual name, if anything about him exists it would be easy to spot. Unsourced promotional BLP that is way overdue to be deleted. Sionk (talk) 09:25, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The book isn't found in any libraries, which adds evidence toward it being self-published and not in the regular publishing supply-chain.(The original page shows it published at Lulu.) I don't find anything else about him. The article claims that he was written up in WSJ, but a search there turns up zero. LaMona (talk) 00:43, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. I can't find anything to show that this author is notable and I can't find any mention of him in the WSJ. It's most likely that he was only briefly mentioned or quoted in relation to an overall topic, which is quite normal - a news source will discuss a specific topic and bring in someone to provide commentary, usually by way of one of several people quoted on whatever the subject is. However even if it was a book review or something very in-depth, this one source would not be enough to keep the article. I searched using Google, Highbeam, my school's database, and Bing, but found nothing usable. The only thing I found was this article which is just a repost of a tweet about Dennis Quaid - far from a RS. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:32, 4 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Userfy. This case is interesting. As it stands, the article is under-sourced and overly promotional in tone, but sourcing and clean-up are not the real problems here. There is a reason why the organization's web site hasn't been updated since 2010 -- its primary activity was effectively shut down by the (US) federal government via regulations and changes in law. The mortgage down payment 'gifts' that the subject organization provided to homebuyers came from the sellers of those homes, who then received their 'donations' back as part of the purchase price (minus a fee that was collected by the subject organization). More detail on the process can be found at [19] and [20]. According my initial reading of the sources, the subject organization was the first to develop this arrangement (though it appears to have been quickly copied by others). All in all, what we have here is an organization that is quite notable, but whose article is silent about its chief claim to notability.
    Because I find this interesting, I volunteer to userfy this article. I've never done this before, but my understanding is that there needs to be a consensus here to permit this to happen. I expect that I could get the article back to main space in about a month. NewYorkActuary (talk) 04:13, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Longstanding Wikipedia article about an occasional BBC news presenter (it came to light after another editor nom'd Babita Sharma for deletion). This suggests it may have been written by an agent or someone close to Dobbi - at the moment (and throughout the last 9 years) it's been effectively an unsourced CV. It even seems to have been edited by Dobbie himself.

  • Comment -- The source found by User:SwisterTwister|SwisterTwister]] is an obvious WP mirror, with an irrelevant photo of some one from the Soviet era, clearly about 600 years after the time of the subject. His calim to fame is casting a bell. If the bell survives, I would have expected an inscription on the bell to be a source, but apparently none do. All we have are chronicles that I do not have access to. "the Roman" might indicate that he came from Byzantium, where the people called themselves Romanoi -Romans, which might just be credible. However, the whole article seems based on brief allusion in chronicles, padded out with interpretive matter. The chances are that nothing else is known or knowable. If someone can provide source citations, I would be willing to keep this, but until we get something I have to suspend judgment. It may be significant that there seems to be no equivalent article in the Russian WP. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:40, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be a non-notable album: given it's title not worth converting to a redirect.TheLongTone (talk) TheLongTone (talk) 13:49, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]


This album meets Wikipedia's criteria for a notable album:

An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article. Conversely, an album does not need to be by a notable artist or ensemble to merit a standalone article if it meets the general notability guideline. Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting.

It is indisputable that Jamie Lawson is to be considered a 'notable musician'. This article does meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline, as all 5 entries on the list can be checked. This article currently includes more than just a basic track listing, with charting information and other release information to be added after the release date of October 9 2015.

  • Weak keep & merge somewhere The software is for an obsolete system, which is not a reason for deletion, but was never really notable in its own right, though there were some significant comments such as medialooper [21] & techmeme [22] . It's a minor offshoot of the Apple-Palm patent battle described in engadget [23] and elsewhere; I think it ended with a licensing arrangement--see CNN [24]. The term has also been used in several other meanings, which , as SwisterTwister noted, makes the search quite tedious. DGG ( talk ) 04:09, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The previous primary, www.momentumanimationstudios.com, seems to be retrievable from archive.org e.g. [25]. Rather odd that it is difficult to find secondary coverage for a series which was apparently shown on SBS, and distributed internationally. However, it seems to have aired on G4 (TV channel) [26]. The premise and asserted distribution alone should have generated some notoriety and thus more notability coverage. Perhaps additional secondary coverage is available under news subscriptions, etc. Dl2000 (talk) 04:00, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing has been found that verifies this novel's existence. Correct me if I'm wrong. TheGGoose (talk) 04:41, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete/move to Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia. I can find absolutely nothing to substantiate that this book ever existed. A search for the title in French and English only brings up references to this Wikipedia article. I'd be willing to chalk this up to it being a pre-Internet released book, except that the article asserts that the book gained more attention after the author's death. Even if this was a low profile book, there should be something out there for this work - even if it's just a routine listing. A search for the author's name with the title of his other book Marie also brings up nothing, which is troubling considering that this book was supposed to be far more popular. This gives off the impression that this book and its author either never existed or this was an indie book that was stocked in a handful of specialty stores. I'm leaning more towards hoax at this point given the lack of non-Wikipedia mentions on the Internet and zero hits for the author or either book on WorldCat.

A prior version of this article was deleted after a WP:PROD. I haven't seen the prior version of the article, so naturally the version I created, from scratch, uses completely different material. So far the article I've created incorporates cited material from sixteen (16) WP:RS sources. I've demonstrated both a History of the company from approximately 1973 to 2014, as well as a bit about Reception of the company -- primarily as given in comments from authors of books about reference works and library guides. As there was the prior deletion after the WP:PROD, bringing here to AFD to assess from the community whether we should bother to continue to perform quality improvement efforts on this article.

While this concept is at least a bit notable, as one can see from doing some searching, this doesn't really appear to pass the bar in terms of our general notability standards.

Non-notable musical instrument. To be clear, this is about a specific unit--a specific single instrument, not a model or brand.

The result was delete. I have a lot of sympathy for the view that paper documents from this era are not reliably digitised; this is the case even for Western countries, and it's something I have had personal troubles with. With that said, we cannot have an article for a living person where there are no reliable sources other than a list of films to back up their notability. My suggestion for people who want to retain this article is to go and find those paper sources that they assert should exist, go and have them digitised, and put them up somewhere so that Donato's career can be properly established per WP:V.

  • Redirect to Robert Campos although delete is followed at second as my searches only found passing mentions at Books, News and browser thus noting to suggest he was a better known actor. SwisterTwister talk 04:59, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The sparsity of modern coverage is not an indication of non-notability for an actor in the 1950s/1960s. The difficulty in finding contemporary sources for his active years is for the same reason as his brother's - Philippine print media have not been digitized by Google (or other online libraries) from that era. WP:NACTOR only requires that he have had significant roles in multiple notable films. And he passes that easily. His roles are independent of his brother's. Despite being (subjectively) the "less famous" of the two, he was in the industry longer than Campos.
Doesn't mean there aren't any evidence of his offline notability on the web. If you can get past the fact that these are posted in a blog and just look at the images, you can get an idea of his notability by the scans of old newspaper/magazine articles and movie posters of films he was involved in. These can not be used as sources, but they prove his involvement in multiple notable films: Tayo'y Magsaya (1959), Doon Po Sa Amin (1960), Naku... Yabang (1963), Emily (1960), Banal (1961), Navy Blues (1960), Mr. Announcer (1959), etc. His brother's movies are there as well (and yes, they were usually cast in different movies, not together, thus a redirect would not make sense).-- OBSIDIANSOUL 07:42, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

He has not played in a competitive senior game between two professional clubs nor has he represented his nation at the Olympic Games or at senior level. Article fails WP:NFOOTBALL. Also fails WP:GNG. Simione001 (talk) 01:46, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In this case Joey played in the cup against a semi pro state league club whereas as Jacob appeared in a cup match between two fully professional A-League sides. Simione001 (talk) 06:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, thanks for pointing that out Simione001. I have amended my comment above for accuracy's sake. Perhaps Victoryboy would like it moved to his userspace in case Katebian makes an appearance in the near future? A bit of effort has been put into creating the article.

  • Delete - Fails WP:NFOOTY as has not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Fenix down (talk) 08:21, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

puff piece almost certainly written by publicist. Lots of quotes from this guy here and there and references from organizations he's worked with, but no in-depth coverage by reliable third-party sources. There was some subterfuge by the article writer disguising the "daily journal" that his company published as "California's Daily Journal" including typeface making it look like a real third-party publication. The Dissident Aggressor 00:50, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - clearly not notable. The biggest hint is the article includes a link to his CV. Searches on News provided 2 passing mentions and a PR; Newspapers and JSTOR returned nada; Highbeam and Scholar also returned some brief mentions. The best results were returned at Books, but nothing to show he comes close to meeting notability criteria. Onel5969 TT me 18:13, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Contrary to what Onel5969 says, resumes or cvs can be useful as sources, to fill out the factual details of the life of a subject whose notability is shown by other sources. But in this case, we don't have other sources that actually demonstrate notability, and the article is very promotionally written. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:55, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for now as I found some links at Books, browser and Highbeam but there's not enough for a better article but feel free to draft and userfy. SwisterTwister talk 06:49, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Oklahoma City Zoo and Botanical Garden. If there's anything that an editor thinks is appropriate in the target article, probably not more than a line, then feel free to mention it. However, if this merge isn't preformed in a timely manner any editor should assume that nobody wishes to move any material, and should go ahead and create a redirect without moving any content.

On that note, User:DN-boards1, feel free to make a copy in your userspace, if you want to. (non-admin closure) Kharkiv07 (T) 15:18, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Malee (elephant)[edit]

Article on recently deceased elephant belonging to zoo that while being reported media-wide probably doesn't have enough RS coverage to justify an article and may be TOO SOON. I have some doubts but it's probably best to discuss here. 177.142.118.61 (talk)

Malee was always known. She was always in the local news every birthday. They built a giant pagoda-type habitat just because of her. There was a lot of coverage throughout her life, she's certainly notable. DN-boards1 (talk) 22:45, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable: As per WP:N, a subject must have "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Reliable sources should, ideally, be "secondary". The only sources cited, here, are from the Oklahoma Zoo where the elephant once lived. There are a few newspaper articles about the animal's death. Isambard Kingdom (talk) 00:08, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually indeed had coverage outside of the Zoo. DN-boards1 (talk) 00:18, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep If I recall correctly, Malee was the first elephant born in Oklahoma. At the very least, we should userfy it. DN-boards1 (talk) 02:06, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I don't remember "first born in Oklahoma" in the guidelines for establishing notability. -Ad Orientem (talk) 02:17, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draft and userfy I suppose if it helps the author and there's not much for a better separate article and I'm not seeing this being merged and mentioned at the zoo's article as there are likely several other elephants at the zoo. SwisterTwister talk 05:16, 8 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
