No references, no evidence of any potential notability. Written like a POV essay. Fails every test for notability. PRODed but PROD removed by author Velella Velella Talk 23:14, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete per Velella's explanation. Prmcd16 (talk) 23:16, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as unreferenced original research. Creator states on his talk page that this is "an assignment that does not complete unless this is done ." --Finngall talk 23:27, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Draftify to Draft:Restructuring of power system
Delete[changed per Ricky81682's comment, below]. In addition to the reasons given above, the typo in the title appears to be an attempt to avoid the redirect at the properly named Restructuring of power system. Doesn't this qualify it for some sort of speedy delete? As an aside: this appears to be class-related, but I have no idea how to contact the teaching-powers-that-be at Wikipedia. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 23:34, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- OK, I've left a note at WP:ENI, in case those folks can help the student along. --Larry/Traveling_Man (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

- Draftify to Draft:Restructuring of power system. The topic itself could be notable, there's possibly sources on it and I'd say let the editor have at least a chance to get it going. If it's actually an assignment, it was very poorly designed. While it doesn't need to have an AFC tag, we have been pretty good about checking and watching for old drafts so if this doesn't go anywhere in a few months, it can come up at MFD. The best case is that the editor learn a little more about sourcing requirements and rather than a separate article, we have a draft that can be incorporated into Electric_power_industry#Organization or somewhere. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:09, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- The editor indicated here that this is an assignment of sorts. Given that, it's likely the editor will just create this in their userspace or elsewhere anyways. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:48, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Original research editor opinion on a current affairs topic. Material must be based on sources, not editorial essays. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:25, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

TV show that seems to have questionable notability. Searching for NB+TV show really does not help as you might of figured as you tend to get matches for NBC. Wgolf (talk) 23:05, 21 April 2016 (UTC) withdrawn
- Keep. Searching is not easy because of the title, but there's enough available that verifies this as a series of significance in Scotland, and it ran for almost a decade. A particularly substantive source is this 1990 article from the The Herald (Scotland)|The Herald. More from The Herald: [1] or [2], [3]; there's also this about one of the more prominent hosts. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:23, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Moved this discussion from Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:John Allison (physicist). User:Wormcast argued for deletion based on the following: not notable.

- Delete. Many news hits, even one Scholar hit, but they all seem to be quotes from its staff on international issues. While this indicates their staff have some expertise in this area, it doesn't give us much information on the organisation itself. (In particular, the observation that they are frequently quoted is a kind of WP:SYNTH/WP:OR even though it is true.) Google Books turns up hits but none of them appear to be relevant. I don't think notability is established for this company. SJK (talk) 04:56, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

- Keep and rename to Jhanjirimangala Temple. There isn't an enormous amount on this in English, but since there must be more in Indian language sources, it seems likely to be a notable place. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:40, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep [and move to [[List of Hindu temples in Cuttack, per comment below -- this is my revised "Vote"]. "Keep" is the "vote" appropriate here in AFD, if you want the article kept in mainspace even though you suggest it be moved/renamed. Moving/renaming can be done outside AFD. "Moving to draftspace" is a "Delete" vote, and IMO is only valid as a vote if you really believe the topic is not notable. If you think the article needs work, put tags on it. I think it needs work, and vote Keep believing this is a significant, notable topic. --doncram 20:17, 15 April 2016 (UTC) --03:59, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Relisting comment: I'm relisting because there are Keep !votes that presume sources in other languages and likely notability and if available then then those ought to be evaluated. —SpacemanSpiff 16:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Comment I added the temple's coordinates from Google maps, which does cover it. I also added 2 or 3 sources, including relating to the 27 December 2015 break-in and robbery of the temple, there are 3 sources now in the article. It is an ancient temple and a landmark in the area so perhaps is notable simply by wp:GEOLAND. It is covered in numerous photos which you see if you click on AFD links above (the properly spelled version). --doncram 17:20, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. It seems notable on its own to me, and the article has 3 sources now (2 about recent thefts from temples in Cuttack, 1 about the numerous temples in Cuttack). But also it is still marginal, and I note it is one of numerous small ancient temples in Cuttack. I think it would also be acceptable to "Keep" it but move it to List of Hindu temples in Cuttack, corresponding to Category:Hindu temples in Cuttack, and I would develop that larger topic like List of temples in Bhubaneswar (Bhubaneswar is another city like Cuttack, also in Orissa state). Hmm, here is a top list of temples in Orissa and here is a second-level list of other important temples in Orissa (Orissa is a larger region including Cuttack). Those lists do not include this AFD subject one, or at least I am not recognizing it there. Those may well be the more important ones, as they are presented. I note there are many more temples already covered in wikipedia within Category:Hindu temples in Orissa. I am deducing that the AFD subject one, Maa Jhanhiri Mangala or whatever name applies, is a lesser temple. It would be fine to mention it in a list-article of course, and a list-article on temples in Cuttack is certainly notable/fine. So I am coming around to wanting to "Keep" but move this one to be developed as that list-article. I could wp:BOLDly go ahead to move and develop, but I hesitate to do that until there is some support. --doncram 19:24, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Well, a list of such temples would undoubtedly be notable; if you're going to include this one within that list, you're basically !voting "delete" for this AfD's purposes; and this AfD should be no obstruction (nihil obstat) to creating a list. i.e. if you feel like it, go right ahead. If you'd like me to !vote "delete" for that purpose, I can do that; or we can keep, and then have a merge discussion, it doesn't matter. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:15, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Chiswick Chap:, thanks! Well it's nicer to the contributors to "Keep" the AFD subject article, at least within the edit history of the list-article. If the list-article could be developed enough to be put in mainspace fast, separately, then it would be even better to close this one "Merge" and redirect it to the list (keeping the contributions in the redirect's edit history, which would get brought back if more sources emerged. But a closer might have to be willing to say "Merge" without the list-article being great yet. I'll start a draft at Draft:List of Hindu temples in Cuttack which could be used either way (by paste-in or by move). Mostly I'd prefer to avoid an outright "Delete"; avoiding that is my motivation to be willing to work on a list-article so I hope a closer will take that into account. --doncram 05:01, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. I find it difficult to distinguish this sort of soft science ("his theory of seven dimensions") from crankery, but that may just be my unfamiliarity with the area. Nonetheless, I don't see a lot of evidence of notability here. Google scholar gives top citation counts around 33 or so, not enough to make a case for WP:PROF#C1. The supposed "Heinemann Prize" given is not the notable one (one of the two Dannie Heineman Prizes in mathematical physics or astrophysics) nor the Gustav-Heinemann-Bürgerpreis (founded 1977), Edgar-Heinemann-Preis (from Chemnitz), Gustav-Heinemann-Friedenspreis (for children's books), or Otto Heinemann Preis (for businesses). In fact the only evidence I can find of Bernhart having such a prize is a handful of web pages such as this one. So it probably doesn't pass WP:PROF#C2. The claim of a Nobel nomination is laughable (winning is notable but anyone can be nominated and trumpeting nominations is something cranks do). So what else is there?

I don't see significant coverage of this Lucy Alexander. Searching for "lucy alexander" "london tonight" and other variations of her credits turns up nothing but social media and promotional websites.

Article is self-promotional and violates WP:N, WP:V, and WP:RS. All links are to the creators site, the article contains uncited claims of original research, and article touts benefits that are obvious nonsense to anyone with a passing familiarity with the subject matter (programming languages):

- Angela Craciun (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
I'm not really seeing the notability here. For one, the sourcing is abysmal. For starters, we have two social network profiles (!) - obviously not independent sources. We then have a snippet - I checked to see just what this was about, and it begins: "My sincere thanks are due to Prof. Angela Crăciun" (by the way, that's the correct spelling of her name). I fail to see how an acknowledgment in a preface can be used to validate a claim of notability; at best, this is a classic case of synthesis. We then have the subject's biography on her own website and a press release hosted there - needless to say, not independent. Finally, there's another bit of PR, a photo-op from another of her organizations.
I looked around the Romanian press, where the subject is barely covered. There are two puff pieces where we are given exhaustive information about the subject's love of castles, her inability to buy them in Romania, her sacrifices, her grandmother, and on and on. Then there's an announcement that she's withdrawing from a project with one Joel Soler (note the red link). Finally, there's this intriguing reportage from a newspaper of her native town: "Baia Mare native Angela Crăciun bankrupted and sold SC Maralact, then used Romanians' money to buy a castle in France. The incredible story of a cardboard millionaire who robbed the Romanian state of millions of Euros."
So, in sum, I fail to see why the subject is notable. Because she owns a castle? Because she likes to found organizations? Because she dabbles in the arts? Because she bankrupted a small company? All these rationales collapse upon analysis, and while we are certainly not bound by their decision in any way, I suggest we follow the lead of ro.wiki, which agreed to delete her biography back in February 2010. - Biruitorul Talk 14:00, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Comment: But it's just not so clear. WP:ENTERTAINER states "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." Yes, he's held a lot of roles, even in some notable films. However, the roles held were not significant (several were not even named characters, and the named characters appear to have been billed rather low in the cast list) in all notable films except for Outsourced (film) which is the only exception I see.

- Comment – @Arthistorian1977: How does the article have a "clearly promotional tone". As written at the time it was nominated here (diff), it is quite neutrally worded, and has no promotional context or tone, peacock language, language extolling its virtues or how great it is, etc. It reads as an entirely neutrally-worded article that simply summarizes the topic. Regarding the notion of "non existing property" in the nomination, this is not a valid rationale for deletion; notable construction developments are allowed to be covered in the encyclopedia.

- Weak Keep – Meets WP:CORPDEPTH, albeit on a weak basis, from sources that I was able to find online: [1], [2], [3], [4] It's likely that additional reliable sources are available in Iranian news media sources, which may not be readily available or easy to access in some western and other countries. Per this, also keep in the interests of countering systemic bias on Wikipedia (See Availability of sources may cause bias). North America1000 20:45, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

Not enough independent coverage of the company to satisfy WP:GNG. PROD turned down. An event organized by the company, Indian Autorickshaw Challenge, MIGHT satisfy GNG, but that grants notability to the event, not the company (notability is not inherited). The only major independent reliable source was an angry press release by the government of Azerbaijan, but that's hardly "in depth" coverage and should not really count. Basically, very little can be said about the company that can not be included under the Rikshaw Challenge page.

North America1000 12:59, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Contesting deletion Thank you for reviewing my very first Wikipedia page. While the suggestion to merge it with Indian Autorickshaw Challenge is logical, another reason why I believe it deserves its own namespace is because of other rallies known throughout Europe that it organizes: for example, The Baltic Run and other well-known events in addition to the Indian Autorickshaw Challenge.

- Comment - I agree that there is no claim of significance asserted in the article (I also tagged it for speedy). However, there are sources out there writing about the "Bedford Boys", of which Hoback was part. I think the best solution would be to add a section about the Bedford Boys to the National D-Day Memorial article, then redirect this there.--Mojo Hand (talk) 14:29, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete as there's nothing to actually suggest solid independent notability, still questionable to keep as its own article thus delete. SwisterTwister talk 06:12, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. The UCLA Health System is not a department or sub-unit of UCLA. It is associated with a medical school on campus, it is in complex ways interwoven with the campus, but it is primarily a health care company which plans, as the article states, to expand in the LA County and serve 4 million people. That is pretty notable. The expansion of UCLA Health System is in full swing, triggered by the Affordable Care Act, and will accelerate in the near future. The somewhat arcane and hard to find governance changes highlighted in the article prepare for this corporate expansion. The budget of the UCLA Health system equals that of the entire rest of the campus. http://ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/workforce-profiles/workforce-profile-2012.pdf chart 25 shows that for 2012, 50 % of all FTE positions at UCLA were funded through the Health System ("Hospital/Health Science Funds"). It is notable, right?
- Argument for distinctiveness: 1) they have different URLS (ucla.edu vs uclahealth.org). 2) The State of California, Employment Development Department, list of major employers in Los Angeles list UCLA and UCLA Health as distinct entities [10]. If the state keeps them apart, Wikipedia should not mix them up
- Argument for notability (published sources): Joseph A Michelli: Prescription for excellence: leadership lessons for creating a world-class customer experience from UCLA Health System published by McGraw Hill in New York in 2011. The book has been translated into Chinese. This is a widely published author who has also written books about Starbucks, Ritz Hotels, Zappos (shoes), Merzedes Benz, etc. See Joseph_Michelli, that article does not mention the author's lack of independence (to address Mark viking qualms below)
- Argument for consistency: Because many other campus affiliated health care centers have their own Wikipedia articles. (see Category https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Academic_health_science_centres and the list in Academic_health_science_centre where approx 40 such centers for the USA are listed with WPlinks) Velocipedus (talk) 06:50, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to University of California, Los Angeles#Healthcare, where it is discussed. The UCLA Health system is notable for a massive data breach [11], [12], [13] that made the national news, but I have been unable to find independent reliable sources on the health system itself. The book mentioned by Velocipedus is about the institution, but but doesn't look to be independent. No prejudice to re-creation if multiple independent RS become available. --Mark viking (talk) 08:36, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

The article is being repeatedly, thoroughly, whitewashed through multiple and repeated blankings [20] of large sections of sourced text, in some cases invoking the argument that "it's her [the Queen's] 90th birthday" [21]. The article has attracted a large influx of editors with various userboxes indicating fandom of this celebrity family who appear intent on obliterating sourced content without discussion, even overriding active RfCs in the process.

Marriages of the British Royal Family, Pregnancies of the British Royal Family, Deaths of the British Royal Family – like education these have all been covered at length in reliable sources, but at this point you are merely creating a database of things already mentioned in the royal biographies, which is one of the things Wikipedia is WP:NOT.

LavaBaron (talk) 08:58, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete While there are sources that discuss the education of individual members of the family, the "education of the royal family" as a whole is not really a topic that is covered by itself in reliable sources and so the article is largely synthesis. The article also gives a false impression because before the Second World War, people typically left school at 14 and if you go just a few decades further back many, many people did not go to school at all or had education so rudimentary that today it would be considered shameful. On that basis, the education of the family then was considerably better when comparing private tuition to what was available to everyone else. The article however is deliberately skewed to try to present the education of the family as lacking, and so it is also POV, not neutral and unrepresentative of reality. At worst, the education they received is not noticeably different from that of any suitably comparable group at the time.

- Responding to Celia's reasoning... You're right that the article tries hard to cast the royal family in a poor light. But that's not a reason to delete the article, but rather a reason to fix it. There are at least two serious major works specifically on the topic -- see my earlier post (and likely journal articles as well, but trying searching British royal family education -- you're inundated reports by royal commissions on education policy and so on) so notability as a standalone topic is clear. EEng 14:33, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep The topic is clearly notable as there's an entire book about it: Royal Education: Past, Present, and Future.

Redundant and does not cover the article title's topic. This list is mostly about the U.S. and Canada, probably not, you know, North America. Besides the main article History of video games (not just video game consoles), there are video game generation specific articles that mention release of video game consoles. Second generation of video game consoles#Home systems for instance, that also list other regions. For region-specific information, there are also articles on Video gaming in the United States and Video gaming in Canada, which are more than just a table of chronological console releases. As the template {{North America in topic}} shows, there isn't much written currently on countries besides these two. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 09:51, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

- I'm not understanding how this nomination presents a deletion argument at all. If there were notable console releases in North America that aren't included in this timeline, add them. The rest of your comment actually undermines your claim that it's "redundant"; if you have to go to half a dozen different articles for the same information, none of which actually distill and compile it together in the manner this timeline presents, then it isn't very redundant. Unless you're simply against timelines generally...? postdlf (talk) 20:04, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think the topic as presented here is more notable than many other timelines, as reliable sources love compiling timelines of video game consoles as released in the united states. See [27] and [28] for examples. Whether the scope is inappropriate, I would support the idea of renaming the list to Timeline of video game console releases in the United States. ~Mable (chat) 09:36, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- But that's the thing, because video gaming and the video game industry largely originated from the United States, there's a huge overlap with History of video games and the video game console generations listed {{Video game consoles}}. List of home video game consoles and List of handheld game consoles also mention the regions where the consoles were released. I did just remove the actual timeline, because the list is about the video game console releases, not about the video game console generations or when they were commercially available. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 12:42, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 00:54, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- I see the fact that History of video games mostly presents information from an American point of view as its biggest flaw, honestly, rather than the natural result of a medium originated from the United States. Either way: Looking at List of home video game consoles, it indeed seems like that article does a better job of presenting the timeline of consoles in the United States than the article under discussion does. I think it may be proper to redirect Timeline of video game console releases in North America to that list.
- Additionally, it may be valuable to add somekind of visual timeline to the article in this manner, but that's just a suggestion. ~Mable (chat) 06:25, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- I did just remove the graphical timeline from Timeline of video game console releases in North America, as that shows when they were commercially available.

- Keep - I just don't see any valid reasons for deletion. It's a valid subject, including items that all have their own articles, organized in a manner that makes sense, that can be source-able. It needs better formatting and sourcing, but its a valid list. Sergecross73 msg me 13:04, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
- The subject is "timeline of video game console releases in North America", right? The graphic timeline I took out was about the retail availability of consoles, not the actual releases. So a more appropriate title would be List of video game console releases in North America. But is North America actually covered? For instance, for the Xbox One it says November 22, 2013. But the source used at Xbox One says the release date of November 22, 2013 is, amongst other countries, Canada, Mexico and the United States. That's a total of three out of the 23 North American countries. The SNES was discontinued in the U.S. in 1999, but what about the other 22 countries? We could title it again as List of video game console releases in the United States, but with articles like Video gaming in the United States, List of home video game consoles and List of handheld game consoles that's already covered. Those are already properly sourced, list every region, also with technical details and units sold. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 08:44, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- The hsitory/timeline of console releases in Mexico (for example) may not even warrant the same kind of notability as the United States does. The same goes for the smaller countries. ~Mable (chat) 09:27, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

- I understand your concern in theory, but isn't this an issue affecting pretty much how WP:VG handles video game releases in general? I mean, every time we get confirmation of a Japanese game getting a "North American release", its mostly talking about US/Canada, and isn't necessarily confirming a release in every individual region in Central America, right? I mean, when Persona Qs article says that it received a North American release, its not necessarily confirming it received a specific Guatamala release, right? I guess I'm unsure how this issue is specific to this particular article? Or maybe I'm wrong, I can't say I've ever given it much thought... Sergecross73 msg me 15:33, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

- I personally don't care much about the "geographical subject" argument – to me, that is simply an argument to rename the list.

Weak Keep(changed to weak delete -- see below) - Clearly this should be renamed Timeline of video game consoles in the United States, but it doesn't seem like it's necessarily redundant or needs to be merged (and certainly doesn't seem like it needs to be deleted). So we have History of video games which is all prose and broader than the US. Video gaming in the United States is likewise prose-based, though does have a major section with a chronological structure. The question there is whether it would make sense to merge a table-based or graphical timeline of video game consoles in the United States into that article? I'd weakly say it does not. That article could be seriously expanded, and if a big table or graphic were added in, it would be potentially redundant and, if it's anything like the page under discussion here, take up an undue amount of space on the page for what it offers. This timeline could thus be understood as basically a WP:SPINOUT from that article (again, once renamed to focus on the U.S.). I don't think the generational and other sub-type lists and timelines are sufficiently comparable to matter to this discussion. I will say that I think an ideal direction would be to just turn this article into a Timeline of video game consoles and include much more international detail. That's a big ask, though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:35, 16 April 2016 (UTC)- @Rhododendrites: What do you think is the difference between the scope of your theoretical Timeline of video game consoles and the already existing List of home video game consoles?

No indication of subject's notability. The article's subject is Sonichu, a comic written by Christian Weston Chandler, who himself was the subject of several articles deleted in the past five years.

- Delete Downright kind compared to the litany of past AfD'ed and speedied versions, but under the title alone without (Comic) appended, it has been protected for six years; clearly evasion of that block, along with a SPA editor in CwCCHANsonichu (talk · contribs) who clearly isn't here for any other manner (their two edits on the retired Falcons quarterback Chris Chandler's article to be about the comic author are clearly WP:BLP-violating).

- Comment That "book" is nothing but Wikipedia content. I can't find anything about Turane Jutu in your second link. As for your third link, that website was most likely created after the Wikipedia article, so that info is probably copied from it. Also, this deletion is perfectly reasonable considering that all the sources cited in the article don't point to this "Turane Jutu" person. I have yet to have encountered a source that attests to his existence. Étienne Dolet (talk) 08:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Reply Hi @EtienneDolet: Yes, I do understand your concerns regarding the citing of a book relying on Wikipedia content, but that doesn’t make it unreliable. And here are two other books that cite this person.[1][2] The second link was to the organization behind the third link, and I would think that if anyone was able to verify the validity of this person they would, which they did in the third link. I will admit though that there does exist a sort of circular-chain of facts regarding this subject, but is not at all unusual when dealing with controversial subject matter (Armenia genocide) and witnesses to it. I would have rather seen this article submitted for improvement rather than be nominated for deletion due to its subjects (maybe) historical importance, and would require a very extensive research effort utilizing academic papers/articles/books, etc. not available on the internet, and which I’m going to access as time permits.

As for your third link, that website was most likely created after the Wikipedia article, so that info is probably copied from it. Also, this deletion is perfectly reasonable considering that all the sources cited in the article don't point to this "Turane Jutu" person. I have yet to have encountered a source that attests to his existence. Étienne Dolet (talk) 08:41, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Those two books are also simply collections of Wikipedia articles. Both Books LLC and Hephaestus Books have the business model of copying all the Wikipedia articles in a category and calling the result a book and the articles chapters, and then printing on demand if anyone is gullible enough to stump up the exhorbitant price. Of course this makes them unreliable as sources for Wikipedia, because to use them would mean that we are citing ourselves. I would also strongly suspect that the non-book links that you gave above use Wikipedia as a source. They certainly post-date our article. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 11:29, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Note Again, I’m not disagreeing with any assertion being made, just cautioning that EXTREME prudence needs to be exercised when dealing with this articles subject, especially when viewed in the light of today’s news[1] showing yet another major attempt by Turkish supporters to suppress knowledge of the Armenian Genocide. And, with this article being nominated for deletion, instead of improvement by WP experts, on the same day as this is happening can lead to many questions. I hope you (and others) fully understand these concerns. Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 13:19, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- AfD withdrawal request Hi @Étienne Dolet: (cc CheckingfaxAmatulicDoug Weller) I was wondering if you would consider Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#Procedure for non-administrator close (nominator withdrawal) for this article and, instead, submit it for improvement? My reason for making this request is due to information on your talk page (examples: User talk:EtienneDolet#Armenia page and User talk:EtienneDolet#Kinaliada) that could lead others to believe that you have a pro-Turkish, anti-Armenia and/or anti-Russian stance—which I’m certainly not alleging, just pointing out to you that maybe someone else should be reviewing this article. Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 14:39, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- How can a discussion in which Étienne didn't take part and was not about him, and another discussion in which he supported the position that an island had historically been mainly inhabited by Armenians rather than Turks, possibly be construed by anyone as him having a pro-Turkish or anti-Armenian stance? I'm sure that there are plenty of Turkish nationalists who would assume the reverse, for which there is also no evidence. As I have said elsewhere, you really need to learn some of the basics about the English Wikipedia, such as that it is not the American Wikipedia and that articles can't be sourced to themselves, before you start offering advice to experienced editors. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 16:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Question Hi @Étienne Dolet: On 27 October 2015 you edited this article adding content to it, but today you say this article is a hoax--what happened to change your mind in the past 6 months? Thanks. Picomtn (talk)
- Try looking at what Étienne did 6 months ago. It certainly wasn't adding content, so there would have been no reason for him to check whether this was a hoax or not. You should be thanking him for noticing now that it is a hoax, which nobody else noticed in nearly 9 years, rather than questioning his motivation, which is obviously to improve Wikipedia. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 16:31, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete If I had found this article prior to the AfD I might have deleted it as a hoax. The sources I can check that qualify as RS don't mention him. Jody Rosen is real but she writes about pop culture. This source[30] is about birth control, Black Americans and genocide with no evidence it mentions him (see this review[31]) Can anyone find any discussion of this name in reliable sources? Doug Weller talk 15:54, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi @Doug Weller: No, this name in its present form cannot be relied upon and from just the most basic of my research shows that Turane was created as a form of the word truth, while the Jutu appears to be a designation of a present day Iranian village named Jitu, and when putting these two words together (very roughly) would mean the truth teller from Jitu. This, of course, violates (extremely) WP:OR, but also points to this person maybe being a Turkish army officer named Lieutenant Sayied Ahmed Moukhtar whose statement about this genocide was documented by the British.[1] As to if this is the person this article is about I honestly don’t know, but many weeks, maybe months, will have to be spent figuring it out which is why I’m advocating (at least for awhile) that this article remain intact. If my (or others) additional research doesn’t bear out these facts then of course this article should go, but what’s the hurry? Thanks. Picomtn (talk) 16:34, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

Reference 3 is fake - the cited page 36 in "The Armenian Genocide: History, Politics, Ethics" by Richard G Hovannisian, is about the Crimean War. Reference 6, Bloxham, 'On the Memory of the Armenian Genocide', p.98, is probably also fake, it is an article not a book and there is no page 98 in it. The article is available here [32]. I don't have access, but its page numbers are 74-86. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 19:05, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- So yes it's fairly certain its a hoax article, but I'd have left it alone since it has survived for sooooh long - 8 1/2 years! Only its creator will know its purpose - the creation of a harmless example to show Wikipedia's ability to spread misinformation into other sources perhaps. If it is deleted, I wonder how long it will take for the misinformation to vanish from the internet. I don't know anything of the Wikipedia history of Tugbaa, Zumoki, Artaxiad (and whoever else he went by - the list of names is long) but it might be interesting to explore that history. He got a year for this, his last non-sockpuppet post: [33] The other two editors are still around, though I hope not still abusing Wikilinks. I'd have said wikilink abuse like this (linking Armenian Genocide to "Libel") is far worse than calling someone a "fag" while correcting that abuse, but an administrator thought different.

Non-notable music company with very few reliable sources. Tinton5 (talk) 05:20, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
A primary reason why this article is notable: the company in question (Jeremy Katz Music) is the world's first provider of song parody-driven music videos that are utilized as corporate team-building, employee engagement, and recruitment tools. To create one of these productions, Katz employs the following approach:
- company employees from any organization in the U.S. choose a popular song and write parody lyrics that emphasize the positive aspects of working for the organization
- using the parody lyrics, Katz performs and produces a custom version of the song at his NJ studio
- the company employees create lip sync videos of the custom version of the song at their offices (for companies with multiple offices in different locations, these contributions take place at the multiple office locations)
- the participating employees upload their various videos to a shared server, and Katz downloads the raw footage
- Katz edits the footage into a finished video production that includes all of the employees' contributions
- the video is presented at company functions, shared online, and sent to prospective employees
As mentioned, no other production company offers a similar service, and while it is new, it's garnering attention from key media outlets (Workforce, ERE, HR.com) that cover the HR and recruiting industries. The uniqueness of the service makes it notable for inclusion on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thewikirap (talk • contribs) 11:57, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

ThePlatypusofDoom - Thanks for your comments. The media sources cited in the article are all credible. Workforce Magazine (which featured Jeremy Katz Music in a full-length article in its print and online editions), ERE, and HR.com have all decided that news of the company is worth sharing with their audiences. While not a major industry player, the company is on the rise and is attracting marketplace attention. That attention, IMHO, merits inclusion of the article. Thewikirap (talk)

Seems to be some confusion about who this is. The actor is just Riccardo Billi. See it:Riccardo Billi. The screen capture too in the second reference looks like him or his brother. No evidence it is anyone else.
The other ref is a single mention in an interview talking about something else. Not enough for notability, or even to clearly establish it’s the same or a different person. Whether it is another person it is clearly not an independently notable topic. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 11:19, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

- comment none of the above collection of blog + social media links and images changes anything. None is a reliable source. But to address one assertion made, that
- "Riccardo Billi (producer) is a PRODUCER. Riccardo Billi is an ACTOR"
- there is nothing to prevent someone being both, and is in fact quite common. Producer is one of those roles like the director of a company that very few people start out doing, but instead usually end up at after doing something else, so an actor can become a producer. In many cases their careers overlap. Also it is highly unusual for different actors to have the same name. To avoid precisely such problems actors are encouraged, or may even be required, to change their name. See e.g. Screen Actors Guild#Unique stage names.
- None of that proves there is only one person, or that there is a producer but he is not an actor. But neither do any of the links above and in the article prove otherwise. And when there is not enough evidence to establish who he is then there is not enough for notability, by a long chalk.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 18:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Comment. I seriously doubt this person produced Way of the Dragon. He's not listed in the film's credits. I just checked the beginning and ending credits on Netflix, and he's not anywhere in them that I can see. He might have done some production work on the film, but I doubt he's a producer.

- Comment, Billi the producer is actually a different person than Billi the actor. While I have not (re)found the specific sources, I read about him, quite trivially, in Italian cinema magazines such as Cine 70 and Nocturno, in articles which basically focused on his wife Malisa Longo and on a film produced by him, Le Amazzoni, which is a mockbuster of War Goddess and which achieved some minor cult status. That said, I don't see enough notability nor enough contents for an article. Outside his marginal involvment in Way of The Dragon, Billi's career as a producer was very thin, he basically just produced a couple of low-budget exploitation films. Maybe a brief mention and a redirect to his wife's article? Cavarrone 12:24, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Probably a very commendable company but I see no evidence of notability here. The Telegraph article appears to make no mention of the company and many of the rest are the company's own web-site. The Gloucester Citizen piece reads like a press release and is a very local source. The Practacysis article is also very niche and reads like a press release. Fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 11:17, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Intelligent (UK Holdings) Limited page is well written and very constructive. The company is notable in the it owns and controls these Subsidiary companies, International Intelligence Limited has a very constructive page of its own.
The citation with regards to the Telegraph article is citing that Mr Bomberg worked for the Royal family in the UK and makes mention of one of the companies within the group structure. It is a fair and correct citation. The citation for the Citizen article is indeed a County publication, it is clearly written as an "interest story" and not a press release. I disagree with you on this. The Practacysis article is a constructive article by an industry specific on-line blog. Intelligent Armour is mentioned in many locations but always within military, industry specific sites as would be expected. such as this article where is also mentions Intelligent UK Holdings Limited and Intelligent Armour Limited. https://everydaytactical.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/interview-with-alex-bomberg-ceo-intelligent-limited/
Intelligent Armour Limited is also listed in thise Export Controls Freedom of information act release https://www.caat.org.uk/resources/foi-responses/pdf/2013-04-24.bis-eco.foi-13-0402-companies-applying-for-ml-licences-in-2011.pdf but is the relevant to cite??
Intelligent Protection International Limited, for this BBC etc. news clips (videos) could have been cited, these are available on the companies website, for example: https://www.intelligent-holdings.co.uk/bbc-news-channel-december-2010.html
The company clearly owns registered Trademarks and like many "Holding or Parent" companies you would not expect much if any thing to be written about them.
I was under the impression that external links to "about us" pages were permitted under guidelines.
If you took for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauritzen_Corporation the Intelligent (UK Holdings) Limited rates better as this example clearly ONLY has links to its Subsidiary companies "About Pages". Mokaroux (talk) 16:31, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

Any external links are kept to the six companies in question "About us" pages as per the guidelines. I do not understand how this article cannot be worthy when it is accepted that we will have 2-3 line (ill written) entries on other Companies in the same category.

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
This engineering association stub was a stale user space draft that user:Legacypac (but not in his/her user space) moved into article space with the claim that it is a notable professional association. This is not substantiated with any coverage in independent reliable sources. The article has no references. The external link in the article is simply a directory listing in the World Federation of Engineering Associations and is obviously provided by the Association of Maldivian Engineers themselves. The organisation is not actually a member of the World Federation. See this page and search for the Maldivian entry. Expanding the item shows details shows "WFEO Member: No". A search for sources turns up no coverage at all. According to the WFEO, the website for the organisation is http://www.a-me.org/ but that's a dead link for me. Either delete, or restore back to user space from where it was moved. Whpq (talk) 05:53, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep i was not aware of the previous AfD. The Maldives are the smallest country in Asia by area and population, and English is their second language, so I think the standard for sources should be set accordingly. Professional associations don't get tons of coverage even in big English speaking countries but they are inherently notable, especially if all engineers must be a member or licensing is tied to them (not sure if that is true here). I did confirm the association exists so felt it a good stub on the basis that the Association of Engineers in any country should be notable at least to people in that country. The stub is factual and not promotional. It may never grow beyond a dtub but that is ok. I don't see it as harmful. Legacypac (talk) 06:11, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Move back to userspace, and delete it there, as a copy of deleted material, a SNOW delete reason at the lower threshold of MfD. Legacypac is presumably unaware of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Association of Maldivian Engineers, and that this copy fails to overcome the reasons for deletion. Ask Legacypac to keep at refining his reading for pages meeting WP:STUB. "Not harmful" is not a reason to keep a mainspace article against a challenge to notability. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:16, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep per Legacypac below. That's two reliable sources, it is not a promotional article, and agree with his points. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:43, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- A decent ref http://www.commonwealthofnations.org/sectors-maldives/business/construction_and_engineering/ that describes the association as " professional bodies are the Maldives Association of Construction Industries (MACI), which was founded by the nine major construction companies in 2001; and the Association of Maldivian Engineers is the corresponding body for the engineering profession.". Remember this is a country with maybe 400,000 people and not a lot of engineers but this is their professional association and therefore a topic you would expect to find in an encyclopedia. Legacypac (talk) 06:26, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- I've found a third good ref - they joined the World Council of Civil Engineers (which should be an article) where they are listed as a current member http://www.wcce.biz/index.php/membership/current-members I also found an airport manager that shows membership on his professional profile and a proposed association of environmental engineers and allied professionals that was discussing how they would interface with AME. Clearly this is the Association and the only issue is that online coverage is thin because it is a small poor remote country. We can safely assume there are off line sources too.

Does not meet WP:GNG. Three references are to their website; the fourth is a review of Lypsinka which barely mentions tweed. ubiquity (talk) 02:34, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep, probably. The criterion for notability is not (to state the basics) how well cited the article is, but whether it could be well cited from the existing literature. The New York Times Theater Reviews 1997-1998 lists 5 Tweed Theaterworks productions; the 1999-2000 issue lists one of the same productions, Lypsinka! As you'd expect the company gets many passing mentions for specific productions, as also for people who have worked with it; some of these are reliable sources that can be used to establish specific facts in the article. We should note that many sources from the period may not be online, and recall that "once notable, always notable" - the criterion is not temporary. What we need to show is whether TWEED was notable, once. I've added a couple of refs; here's another review we could use. I might add that a review of a production by a theatre company is ipso facto a review of that company; the mention is all the way through, not just the line at the end where the company is named.

- Keep. As a photographer myself, being featured by NatGeo is a dream. It's clearly a highly notable event, but it's just that, an event. As per WP:BIO1E, it does not prove the notability of the photographer. An article on the contest might be more appropriate. The arrest would normally fail to WP:ROUTINE. However, the arrest was related to his photography. Combine the two, and suddenly you have a guy who is notable for photography from multiple independent sources for multiple events, and the 1E policies no longer apply. The fact that he is from another country that speaks another language and we still have multiple sources also works in his favor. My only concern is that there is very little material for a full article. -- RM 02:24, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

This seems to be an entirely unnecessary split from List of rulers of the United Kingdom and predecessor states and the various sublists.

Also, see a related TfD: Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_April_13#Template:English_Incumbents ~ RobTalk 03:37, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- On the one hand, I think that this information is useful to have - maybe just not in this format. It's good to have good visualization of data, but a year-by-year breakdown in different articles isn't particularly useful and I'm not sure that it would be considered notable by the year. As such, delete from me, with the hopes that the data could be included better on other list pages. Ajraddatz (talk) 18:59, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. If someone does want a list of rulers of a country in a given year, then they should be able to extract that from Wikidata whatever the country and whatever the year. It's not something that Wikipedia can do better. Thryduulf (talk) 21:28, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

Who wants to write about their recent art exhibition [54] or basketball game [55], some of the regular coverage I am seeing on local Turkish press coverage.--Milowent • hasspoken 20:47, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - I don't read Turkish, but as per Milowent, there appears to be enough coverage to meet WP:GNG. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:45, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Non-notable CEO of a sewing machine company. Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to make this person seem important. Article is very promotional in current state. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 00:59, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete or Redirect to Merrow Sewing Machine Company. There are sources available that discuss his role in the company, but certainly not enough to justify a separate article. --Michig (talk) 07:25, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. There certainly is no agreement on keeping or deleting, and the discussion is generally lacking in convincing arguments either way regarding notability. Michig (talk) 06:54, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

- Delete - unclear notability. Article created by single-purpose account with clear COI. Citobun (talk) 14:12, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep. This person has received persistent coverage over multiple life events:
- 1995: Received the award of Ten Outstanding Young Persons of the year in Hong Kong, verifiable by this page on the award website. He would have received mainstream media coverage (as this award does every year). The Singtao/Yahoo source below said he broke the record of the youngest recipient of the award (probably a good thing for a "Young Person" award!).
- 2001: He was declared bankrupt. Singtao 2001-07-31 via Google archive
- 2015 March: He received some coverage for an attempted bid of the now-defunct ATV. (Apple Daily) This article also gave biographical details of his early life and career.
- 2015 December: He was on the news for fighting off burglars in his mansion. The articles also gave biographical coverage. Oriental Daily Singtao Daily via Yahoo
- These would add up to pass WP:GNG's requirement for persistent coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Deryck C. 16:23, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep.- Please kindly access the youtube newsreel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3br0aigiKCI that states thas Thomas Chan Tin Chi is notable philanthopist, having donated in 1998 among others over 10 000 000 Chinese Yuan (over 5 million USD 2016 terms) in Tsinghua Univeristy enterprenurship fund to help students to create their own enterprises. He is a notable Hong Kong philanthopist. ECrent (talk) 16:32, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

- Keep. The article needs to be rewritten to remove its puffery and promotional aspects, but notability has been established. SSTflyer 04:50, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
- We can't actually keep this as someone simply hopes to improve it, and the current article actually has nothing to suggest these necessary improvements, and thus this is actually best deleted for now and then restarted whenever it's better. SwisterTwister talk 23:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keep per Deryck. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 23:36, 27 April 2016 (UTC).
