Delete. Unreferenced biography of a living person. A notable sportsperson should show up plenty of Google News and Newspapers hits. He doesn't. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:18, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- According to the article, he died in 2003, so he's not living which would make the lack of Google News understandable. only (talk) 23:23, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ugh. Yes. Sorry. I was getting different articles mixed up in my head. My point still stands, with modification, though. A notable sportsperson of the past should show up in Google Newspapers and Google Books searches. A newspapers search will show up the coverage of the time and a books search should show up any ongoing historic interest. Just throw in the name of a semi-obscure to medium-famous sportsperson of the past and you get some hits. He doesn't. Of course, if the author of the article had given us anything else to go on, we could consider those sources as well but they didn't so this is all we have to go on. I'll also note that the article is an orphan apart from one disambiguation link. In more than 8 years of existence nobody has felt the need to link it to any of the related articles, which suggests that the authors of those articles, who presumably know about the those subjects, don't regard him as particularly important. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:36, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing stated here passes WP:NFOOTY, and none of it is reliably sourced at all. No prejudice against recreation in the future if a stronger claim of notability and better sources can actually be shown — but we don't keep inadequate articles on the basis that those things might eventually become possible, if it can't be definitively shown that they are true.

Keep Passes WP:NFOOTBALL has played in WP:FPL.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 15:27, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As noted above, his one game in the Football League is enough to pass WP:NFOOTBALL. There are some other claims to notability there too, such as being the team's youngest player ever. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:33, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Yes he just about passes WP:NFOOTBALL by playing 23 minutes of a game as a substitute in the fourth tier of English soccer. However, that does not trump WP:GNG.--Suarez Mason (talk) 16:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NFOOTBALL clearly states: "Players who have played, and managers who have managed in a fully professional league, will generally be regarded as notable." Football League Two is a fully professional league. Case closed. Oh, and just for the record: As of today, Stevens has played four games for Barnet per Soccerbase.

God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob

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

Reads more like a collection of sermons than an encyclopedia article. Seems to just be a random collection of passages about God/religion -- there's no contiguous subject being covered. The contents of the article are fairly controversial -- for example, it contests the theory of the Big Bang. Highly subjective, written from a first-person perspective with no semblence of a neutral point of view. IagoQnsi (talk) 21:26, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang Theory (scientific) is only explained in the article. It does not contests the theory but is used to explain a point. Without the article being written in its complete form, it is not right to subject it for deletion. Rosario Fernandes (talk) 21:58, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the title tag in the above comment to bold text -- the title was causing weird things to happen on the deletion log page. Anyway, I only mentioned the big bang content as an example of non-neutral content in the page. The issues with neutrality extend to the entirety of the page, not just that section. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and must contain only content that is verifiable by secondary sources. Opinionated primary-source-like content is not acceptable; see Wikipedia policy on neutral point of view for more info. -IagoQnsi (talk) 22:10, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: He may be notable for representing Australia in the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992.--Grahame (talk) 00:50, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NOLYMPICS. I am confused though. The official Australian Olympics website says he competed in the 90kg class [1], yet our summary of the event doesn't include such a division. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:59, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - clearly passes WP:NOLYMPICS per [2]. In response to AtHomeIn神戸, defining weight categories can sometimes be difficult as they are often just labelled e.g. "heavyweight" with no actually specified kg in the title. Best place to confirm we have those categories correct would be the official Olympic Reports - Basement12 (T.C) 09:47, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep As per above, he meets WP:NOLYMPICS / WP:Notability (sports), and I can see no justifiable reason to otherwise remove the article. AtHomeIn神戸, our(WP) version of the event is correct; the event is the "Judo mens ~~half-heavyweight~~middleweight" which in the 1992 Olympics was ~~86-95kg~~78-86kg; in subsequent Olympics however, the Judo ~~half-heavyweight~~ middleweight category was set to 90kg, which is probably the cause of the error in the Australian reference and within the Chris Bacon article. The official event details, Which you can see here: [3] show this. Both articles should be improved to reflect this. Aeonx (talk) 11:14, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update - Found some additional references, including multiple wide-spread news sources (BBC); Chris Bacon is very notable and of encyclopedic value, being multiple-times Australian Judo champion, Bronze medalist, Olympian, and well-known and reported on British boxer. Aeonx (talk) 12:14, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update 2 - The AfD requester is a relatively new Wikipedian, with very few edits. See: [4] Aeonx (talk) 12:18, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems pretty clear that he meets the notability criteria for athletes. He's not notable for his MMA or boxing, but his record as a judoka and Olympian is sufficient. Papaursa (talk) 05:17, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are third party sources frequently used in this article. There are 13 all together. The reporter has covered major cases like the casey anothony trial and the trayvon martin shooting and is notable. His page should stay up.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dani0rad (talk • contribs)

Dani0rad please review WP:ABOUTSELF and Wikipedia:Third-party_sources to see how wikipedia defines 3rd party. In particular "A third-party source is one that is entirely independent of the subject being covered" - All of these pages you use are from sites and content affiliated with Rates. Gaijin42 (talk) 20:56, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

His bio on his work website is independent of him. You can see it was not written by him but by an Amanda who works at the station. Simiarly, I am working to include more references with videos he shot, but it is difficult considering a lot were before the times of youtube. However, there are videos from his Facebook page that prove what I have written.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dani0rad (talk • contribs)

Comment. This is extremely, extremely promotional - so much so that I'd actually endorse a speedy deletion via WP:G11. This is probably because there's a very likely COI here and if this wasn't done by a paid editor, it was likely done by someone who knows the author. It could also very likely pass A7, as the only claims of note are his Amazon sales (which mean nothing on Wikipedia) and a social media following. A look at his YT account shows that he has all of 10 followers, which goes against the claims in the article. The only coverage he's received is from Tulsa World, a local source. If I don't speedy this, I'm very tempted to close this one early after a few people weigh in on this because there's pretty much zero chance of this surviving deletion given the dearth of sourcing that comes up via a search.

I'm leaning towards waiting and letting this get deleted as a snow close, since that would help prevent re-creation before the author gains more coverage to achieve notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:51, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I was a little too generous in avoiding a speedy. Well, my initial prod was reverted by an IP editor from the University of Tulsa, so I think it's possible the article will be recreated if it's speedy deleted. For what it's worth. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 10:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Save Page Doesn't seem to be hurting anything. There are definitely worse pages then this on Wikipedia. There are no YT claims as Tokyogirl179 suggests. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.215.197.179 (talk) 02:10, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The claim I'm referring to is the "significant internet following". A significant following would result in thousands upon millions of followers - having 10 followers on YouTube doesn't back up those claims, nor does the small amount of followers on the other social media sites. Although I do need to state that a large amount of followers does not automatically mean that someone is notable per Wikipedia's guidelines - we actually have quite a few people who are extremely well known on various social media, yet fail notability guidelines on Wikipedia. Some of the Lets Players are great examples of this, as we have several LPers that have extremely large followings but fail notability guidelines fairly solidly.

Chuck Barron (actor)

Fails PORNBIO and the GNG. No qualifying awards, only scene awards at best. No independent reliable sourcing. The "Dave Awards" are not notable (the wikilink goes to a list) and were given by an individual non-notable magazine reviewer; as such they fail the PORNBIO award criterion in three ways, not being well-known, significant, nor industry awards.

@Hobbamock:, you should review the archived talk page discussions at PORNBIO, which reached the "overwhelming consensus" that award nomintions alone were not sufficient to demonstrate presumptive notability in this field. If you persist in arguments that simply ignore the applicable SNG, the closer will likely discount or disregard your !votes. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo).

Sorry, but it appears that a majority of what you do is nominate articles for deletion. They may not be perfect. They may not be the most relevant or "notable", but people put time and energy into these in order to provide some sort of historical record of information for those who may be seeking it. Perhaps no one 50 years from now is going to be looking for Casey Parker, or maybe they will. The problem I have is that there is no harm in an article that isn't "notable" by consensus of a small group of people. All this does is discourage people from contributing to Wikipedia. So unless there are blatant lies, misrepresentation or plagiarism, I see no need to keep deleting articles except for the sake of deleting them. Hobbamock (talk) 14:28, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. This article is one of a dozen or so on streets in Kristiansand by the same creator, originally each with two "references" to maps.google.com and the Kristiansand tourist office website, neither of which mention the street; now each referenced with a single Google maps link to prove that the streets actually exist. I prodded several of these, and tried to engage with the articles' creator at their talk page, but got no response. Can't find anything remarkable about this street online in English or Norwegian. This would probably be an acceptable entry for Wikitravel, but Wikipedia is not a travel guide, nor a gazeteer, and this is not the place for a stub article on each street in the centre of Kristiansand. There is also significant overlap between the contributions of the creator of this article and those of another editor, whose user talk page is also full of prods and a plea to stop creating stubs on non-notable places in Kristiansand.

Weak Delete - I just don't see evidence of notability besides that he's a common figure at the university to give press quotes to local media.
As a note on what I was looking for (and I realise this does risk sound like condoning addition of puffery), what would have me vote keep on this would be clear evidence that his leadership is recognised outside his university as significant (industry awards, recognition, other academic administrators citing his influence, being a frequent keynote speaker at conferences in how to do academic administration well, etc.), but I don't see those things.

Pure WP:OR spiced up with a helping of chutzpah. There's a source saying that Muwahhid is one of the terms Wahhabis use for self-identification, but it's anyone's guess what the article is about. The text includes such blatant examples of WP:SYNTH (trying hard to assume good faith here) as this: "Since Muwahhids predominate in Sunnicentric centers of worship, some Muwahhids questioned the hadithically derived sunnah that had little to no feedback from ayahs in the Quran as well as the tendency among masjidgoers (mosquegoers) to give undue weight to non-tafsir elucidations that have no Quranically derived roots." The cited reference says: "Muwahhid 'Unitarian'; one who believes in God's unity (tawhid). Term used by Wahhabis and Druzes (among others) to describe their beliefs." Eperoton (talk) 04:45, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Another egregious example: "Furthermore, their arguments against the excessive emphasization of intermediaries between mankind and God was primarily based on a fear of giving leeway to overzealous mosquegoers who might possibly exploit and manipulate less religiously grounded mosquegoers." The cited reference says: "The storytellers recounting the stories of One Thousand and One Nights to Muslim generations of the post-al-Muwahhid centuries, did instil a little oblivion in the spirit of their listeners who went to sleep, closing their eyes on the enchanting vision of a sumptuous past." (from an article by Malek Bennabi, who coined the term "post-al-Muwahhid era" in reference to the Almohads [5]). Other attempts of source verification also failed. Since the article was mostly written by a single editor, it is doubtful whether one can trust any of the sourcing there on an assumption of their good faith.

*Move to Muwahhid (term). The term has mutiple variations of spellings because it is transliterated differently by each author. Howver I saw many search returns, but there does not seem to be a fixed definition with each author having his/her own meaning on the term. 92.10.226.159 (talk) 22:36, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A disambiguation page covering different uses of the term already exists at The People of Monotheism and it provides a reasonable inventory, aside from the OR relating to the article under discussion. Eperoton (talk) 22:51, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I change my vote to merging the salvageable bits of this article to The People of Monotheism.92.10.226.159 (talk) 07:17, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TNT Delete. It concerns me that the article is supposed to only focus on the conglomeration of non-political and primarily theological Muslim revivalist movements that grew in various intermittent periods including the early 19th century. While there may be grounds and sources for an article about the ideology of muwahhidism (including its historical versions, such as the Almohads), the current article is really a bunch of synthesised original research. Add to that the misrepresentation of sources and you got yourselves a delete. - HyperGaruda (talk) 17:30, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, the flag that is said to be a muwahhidist symbol, is actually the flag of the Almohad (al-muwahhid) dynasty. → More proof of OR. - HyperGaruda (talk) 17:34, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have told you before that you have to declare your Conflict of Interest. You are now again filling an article with unsourced and irrelevant fancruft to protect an year-article while there is not even a link to a parent article about Miss Diva. The Banner talk 09:31, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is no COI; improving an article is not COI. Here's the edits I have performed: add sources, add more footnotes template with Twinkle, move template, add an image. Please familiarize yourself with the actual COI guideline. None of these edits require sources (should I add more sources to qualify the sources I added, like referencing a reference?) and none constitute "fancruft", not even adding an image. It is sad that your characterization of me as "filling an article with unsourced and irrelevant fancruft" is so dishonest; I guess you'll just say anything regardless of the actual truth of the matter.

Arabic-Persian literacy relation

The subject is not defined and its notability is not established. In fact, it's not clear what this article is about.

Keep. Dubious nomination for page deletion: Most of the references of the page are online and meet the criteria for reliability WP:RS as a secondary and tertiary source. Ibn Khaldun is WP:BASIC, hence Muqaddimah Ibn Khaldun’s translation from Arabic to Urdu by Allama Raghib Rahmani, Dehlvi (with more than 12 Editions), published by Nafees Academy, Karachi is a well known reference in the Muslim historiography citation among Islamic historian of the subcontinent. Thus, reproduction of Ibn Khaldun’s written material, from Urdu language translation to English, in no way constitutes a label of OR. Also the finding of deletion-nominator as personal essay appears to be strange in view of his own wording that "some material that could be merged into other articles"

Subject of the page is simply literacy relations between two languages, therefore observation of nominator that “subject is not defined and its notability is not established” creates a question mark at his own understanding of the subject. Nannadeem (talk) 14:17, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To demonstrate that the article is not WP:OR, it should summarize RSs discussing the subject "Arabic-Persian literacy relation", rather than present an original synthesis of sources. You are correct about the question mark over my understanding of the subject. I have never seen the term "Arabic-Persian literacy relation" in RSs or elsewhere and don't know what it is supposed to mean. Eperoton (talk) 15:30, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for “question mark at his own understanding of the subject”. Nannadeem (talk) 20:45, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(Note: see later comment about draftifying - HyperGaruda (talk) 10:02, 8 February 2016 (UTC)) Delete. Hardly understandable WP:SYNTHESIS. I think the article wants to tell: "Check out the contributions that the Persians made to Arabic literature", so in that way it is a WP:CFORK of Arabic literature. Linguistically speaking, the term "literacy" is used wrongly: literacy is the ability to read and write - babies have zero literacy for example. The creator probably meant "literary" (=pertaining to literature). - HyperGaruda (talk) 19:01, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article seems to use "literacy" in a restrictive sense of reading and writing, or perhaps "written literature". In any case, I agree about WP:CFORK. The influence of Persian literature on Arabic literature should be discussed in Arabic literature, and vice versa. A compendium of contributions made by ethnic Persians is not an encyclopedic topic. Eperoton (talk) 19:49, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the presence of Literacy and Literature pages, I request to go through these articels first. Then "Check out the contributions that the Persians made to Arabic literature" with Ibn Khaldun in his Muqaddimah Part-2 (Fasal number 35). If this is the case, blame goes to the first writer. However, I am learning about the hiden activities of my brain by editing Arabic-Persian literacy relation, through postmartem “deletion discussion”.

~~keep continued~~ The UCD student's union meets notability defined as an "organization is notable enough to justify a separate article on the verifiable evidence that the organization or product has attracted the notice of reliable sources unrelated to the organization" since it is regularly covered by the national news outlets both tv and newspaper. Examples like in the Independent ^[1] or the Irish Times ^[2] and the Journal^[3] - The Union has had national political impacts in feminism and contraception as well, for example.

While these have not been included on the page and the page may indeed need editing - would these references and similar be enough to consider the Union to have notability? 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 03:38, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Whilst the current article is not in the best shape, UCDSU is an important union in broader student and national politics in Ireland. I can't understand why this UCDSU is deemed unimportant enough to delete when most of the other major college's SUs have pages (as can be seen in the categories at the bottom), why is seen as expendable in comparison of TCD, DIT, UL etc. Seems rather arbitrary to delete it. Smirkybec (talk) 13:13, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Smirkybec, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you believe it is an important union, can you verify this with reliable sources? Without that, we can't consider it notable. Boleyn (talk) 13:41, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't have any horses in this race, and given that I don't have the time at the moment to do any hardcore editing, I will leave any improvements to other editors. It just seems odd to me that one of the oldest SUs in Ireland would be nominated over other poorer SU articles. There is no denying that numerous important politicians and others have made their way up the ranks starting in this union, and just because this editor doesn't have time to improve the article doesn't mean that others shouldn't be afforded the opportunity! Those are my two cents, over and out! Smirkybec (talk) 14:14, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS "When applied to creation of articles, this concept must demonstrate that articles of a similar nature and construct are included throughout Wikipedia." There is an entire template for Students' Unions in Ireland

Comment WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS: "This essay is not a standard reply that can be hurled against anyone you disagree with who have made a reference to how something is done somewhere else." Blorg (talk) 17:38, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:GNG "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." There are thousands of references to UCD Students Union in the Irish newspaper of record, the Irish Times, [6] and that is only going back to 1996. This clearly establishes notability according to WP:GNG Blorg (talk) 18:15, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is a 40-year old organisation, the largest student union in the largest university in Ireland, with countless references in the national media (Irish Times, Irish Independent) going back decades, that has been instrumental in many social changes in Irish society, such as the fight for access to abortion information in the 1980s/1990s. Honestly nominating this for deletion is a joke, it is obviously notable. User nominating this obviously has an agenda, yes the article could be better but nominating for deletion in the hope that will light a fire under people to improve it is an abuse of the deletion process. Blorg (talk) 17:18, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment' Blorg, this has been tagged for notability for eight years because people have looked at it but struggled to establish notability one way or the other. To accuse me of having an 'agenda' (not sure what that would be) or 'abuse' of process isn't OK. We can disagree, that's fine, but there's no need to attack each other.

Comment How exactly does almost 2,000 references in the Irish Times, the newspaper of record for Ireland, not establish notability? Blorg (talk) 17:45, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've removed the notability tag from the article as it seems to have been the tag that you are taking issue with rather than the question of whether the article subject is actually notable. I've left the relies too much on primary sources tag, as yes it does, but this is a separate matter to notability. Blorg (talk) 18:23, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Once this is decided I will try to fix the article. If the references to the Union in every major media outlet in Ireland is considered insufficient to show notability there is no point in fixing it. 🍺 Antiqueight ^chat 21:40, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Blorg, you have misunderstood, the tag is the symbol of the issue, it is not the issue. The issue, as has been discussed here, is whether this is notable. Boleyn (talk) 19:03, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Boleyn, I dispute that as multiple people have pointed out to you that there are thousands of references to this organisation in Irish national newspapers, going back decades, but you are refusing to even address that point, preferring just to lazily throw Wikipedia policy statements at people (and not replying when it is demonstrated how you are misusing these policy statements).

The tag is there, and has remained there for eight years, because no-one has been arsed removing it in those eight years, not because "people have looked at it but struggled to establish notability" as you disingenuously assert. Look at that talk page, there is no discussion on notability. The tag is not there because people have been valiantly trying but failing to establish notability for eight years, it's there because the article is shit and has got little attention from anyone over the last eight years, other than people annually updating the list of officers (and that section could probably go, I agree). But that an article is shit does not mean that it's subject is non-notable, these are two separate issues and you are abusing process by bringing this to AfD and disingenuously alleging non-notability on the part of the subject.

This is a pure circlejerk over procedure here, the subject of the article is obviously notable, two seconds on Google would clear that up for you but you prefer to have your little Wikipedia procedural circlejerk over the whole thing rather than just plugging the name of the organisation into a Google search. This is the largest student union in Ireland, (and I've included three references to each of Ireland's three quality national newspapers stating that specifically), an organisation which has been continually covered and considered notable by the national media for decades, if this is not notable, almost no student union is notable, yet you don't seem to be off trying to delete the hoards of other articles about student unions all over Wikipedia.

And note, here, I don't disagree that quality of the article is poor, and I don't disagree that it relied too much on primary sources, but these are separate issues from the actual notability of the subject of the article and your listing it here is a clear abuse of process. There are other processes (like the issues boxes at the top) for articles that are sub-par, the deletion process concerns the subject of the article, not the article itself. So take it to Articles needing cleanup, or highlight it on one of the Wikiprojects concerning Ireland or Irish education or Irish politics... if you actually cared about that, and it might improve the article (which is shit, I have no issue with that, it's a really bad article).

Anyway, I have contributed a new "History" section and dumped a metric shit ton of secondary references to the Union into the article, including multiple references from all three quality Irish national newspapers, The Irish Times, The Irish Independent and The Irish Examiner, as well as the national broadcaster, RTE. I hope this is enough for you and you can now go off and try to passive aggressively delete some other obviously notable articles. Honestly this sort of procedural politicking, where the focus becomes the internal Wiki procedure, is why I gave up contributing to Wikipedia ten years ago. Blorg (talk) 06:21, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not going into detail referring to your personal and unnecessary comments, I have given my opinion. And many people have looked over this article over the years, I'm part of the project which has been going through tagged articles, so I'm well aware that it was left till last as problematic - not because it was a bad article (we have thousands of them) but because through Google they couldn't establish its notability. Many people have questioned its notability, including the tagger and other people here - and it's OK for people to disagree on notability, or not spot sources others have now added. A lot of good points have been made here, but I don't see why it has turned into a personal attack, I'm guessing because you feel you've had poor experiences on WP in the past. Can we just comment on the article's notability, nothing else is relevant (and both you and I have probably said all we have to say on that point). Boleyn (talk) 06:28, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I came back to this AfD as a user left a comment on my page because I'm an Irish person, and a graduate of University College Dublin, and thus have a bit better an idea of the subject's notability that you do... I don't have any association with UCDSU in particular other than having been a member like every other student during my tenure there (like hundreds of thousands of other people).

Again, you are refusing to actually address any of the points made to you, instead going for an ad hominem and throwing around Wikipedia procedural circlejerk nonsense which you then refuse to address when anyone calls you on it. "Can we just comment on the article's notability"... well people have, and you refuse to engage with them, other than just regurgitating Wikipedia policies in their face which you haven't even read.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS: "This essay is not a standard reply that can be hurled against anyone you disagree with who have made a reference to how something is done somewhere else." You are using it in exactly this fashion, as an abuse of procedure. You are refusing to engage the valid points he made, instead just throwing Wikipedia policies at him without even reading them. Justify your application of this policy, don't just lazily throw it at him.

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS "When applied to creation of articles, this concept must demonstrate that articles of a similar nature and construct are included throughout Wikipedia." They are, I linked the articles on other Irish and other UK student unions. You do not address.

WP:GNG "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." It has, I have included references over several decades from all three quality national newspapers and the national broadcaster. You do not address.

Notability. Please provide evidence that people have been trying to establish notability for this article over several years. All I see is your sending it to AfD once before in November and then again now. Where is this extensive discussion you allege happened? Where are the multiple people claiming to have attempted to establish notability through Google but reported failing. Citation needed.

Given that I and others have provided you with countless references to secondary sources, and you are refusing to actually question these sources, please put forward an argument as to how thousands of references in Irish national newspapers and by the national broadcaster do not establish notability.

But you aren't actually going to address any of these points, and by god you aren't going to just concede that the subject might actually be notable, because you aren't actually interested in that, you are just interested in the Wikipedia procedural circlejerk. Blorg (talk) 06:54, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Boleyn, here's a point by point analysis of how if you actually read WP:ORG this organisation actually qualifies. I don't expect you are actually going to address any of these points, though, as you don't address anything other than just throwing Wikipedia policies at people without reading them:

Depth of coverage The depth of coverage of the subject by the source must be considered. If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple independent sources should be cited to establish notability. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject is not sufficient to establish notability. Google searches of Irish national newspapers return thousands of results and scores of articles over decades have been provided that deal with the Union and its activities as the primary subject.

Audience The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. Evidence has been provided of significant coverage by national media.

Independence of sources A primary test of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself (or its manufacturer, creator, or vendor) have actually considered the company, corporation, product or service notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial, non-routine works that focus upon it. Scores of references have been provided from articles in the national media which are completely independent of the Union itself.

Illegal conduct There is a possibility that an organization that is generally not notable will have a number of references if they have engaged in illegal acts, or it is alleged that they have engaged in illegal acts. The Union has engaged in several illegal acts, specifically around the provision of contraception and abortion information, with the aim of of forcing legal change in Ireland. In the latter instance the case went as far as the Supreme Court of Ireland and established several important judicial precedents concerning standing in Irish law, and ultimately as far as the European Court of Justice [7], which established that under the Treaty of Rome abortion was a service and a Member State could not prohibit the distribution of information about a service legally provided in another Member State. The Irish government responded to this decision by legislating to expressly permit the provision of abortion information. Blorg (talk) 07:34, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Cowboy coding

AfDs for this article:

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

Northeastern US residents sometimes use the term "Cowboy" derogatorily to mean reckless or irresponsible. Sticking the word "Cowboy" in front of the word "Coding" doesn't make it a software development philosophy. It is a Neologism - it just means the same thing as "Cowboy-anything" but applied to code.

The first attempt to delete this article failed because Google has roughly 270 hits on "Cowboy Coding." I could not find *any* that are noteworthy. Most link to this article as their source! Wikipedia has a No Original Research policy which this article clearly violates.

The idea behind this article has some merit, in the sense that there can be an absence of development methodology in the same way that Anarchy is the absence of Government. But someone needs to articulate that much better than this article currently does. The article Software Development Process:Other has a section called "Code and Fix" that seems to roughly summarize this article. Maybe that section could be expanded? Also Capability Maturity Model Level 1 seems like the same idea. Actually, I think that's the closest match to the concept of development anarchy.

One person wrote that the term Rapid Application Development is sometimes used when companies don't want to admit that they have no formal development process. Maybe a section should be added there to say a little more about that. Maybe a list of maverick software developers should be made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlenPeterson (talk • contribs) 16:09, 1 February 2016‎

Keep The term is reliably sourced and meets WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 17:12, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think that? Two entries from the c2.com wiki (see Wiki is not Wikipedia) and Mick West's personal web site (which starts its definition with a link to this article in Wikipedia) do not constitute reliable sources in my estimation. The reference to Google's 20% Time does not use the words "Cowboy Coding". I don't have a copy of Software Project Management by Hughes/Cotterell to check that reference, so it's possible that 1 out of the 5 sources **could** be legitimate. With all the programming resources available online, that is the best the world could come up with in the 8 years this article has been around? Instead of making vague "the sources are out there" statements, it's time to see those sources if people want to save this article.GlenPeterson (talk) 18:57, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You mean Ward Cunningham's blog is not a reliable source on software development terms? I added more sources from a software development website.

Weak keep: The article as it stands is definitely weaker than it could be, but does provide a second fairly clear claim to notability - as a leading member (in fact, chairman) of the Russian Association of Proletarian Musicians (RAPM) for several years around 1930, and thus a person whose unfavourable opinion at that time could severely threaten or destroy the careers of Soviet musicians of the time (including, of course, Shostakovich). I might also mention (though I don't think that it has that much effect on his notability) that Lebedinsky seems, as well as giving interviews, to have written several articles about Shostakovich and his music. Turning to the GBooks hits - many are indeed just quoting Lebedinsky about Shostakovich. However, a significant number of other sources do also raise questions about Lebedinsky's veracity and the genuineness of his friendship with Shostakovich (this one, probably, in greatest detail). And quite a few, about a variety of composers, instead deal with his earlier RAPM activities - some, again, fairly briefly but others (such as this biography of Nikolai Myaskovsky) at greater length. (And please note that both the sources I have given refer to Lebedinsky in several different places - so searching within them is a good idea.) Perhaps a relatively minor character, but one with two separate claims to notability which, however, are perceived to interact rather oddly. PWilkinson (talk) 14:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the subject is on this list List_of_last_surviving_World_War_I_veterans_by_country with a reference in French that says exactly what this article says and no more. The French source looks more like a blog on a subdomain of free.fr (a free hosting service?) and is definitely not a major news outlet or academic source. Therefore this page provides no information the list does not and per WP:NOPAGE we should keep his name on the list. As the only source says so little, yet covers other people with somewhat more people, it seems unlikely this page can be expanded.

WP:BLP of a blogger and podcaster, with no strong reliable sourcing to support it. Almost everything here is a primary source or a commercial sales page for his products, and the only one that's actual media is a blurb's worth of coverage in People — which isn't a good or substantive enough source to get a person into Wikipedia if it's the best source on offer. There's also been sourcing stripped from the article, on the order of his own self-published blog, Hulu and circular referencing to other Wikipedia articles — none of which are valid sourcing, so restoring them won't help. He might qualify for a properly sourced article, but that doesn't mean he gets to keep this. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 01:44, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and consider renaming to List of online charity donation services in the United Kingdom. There is nothing wrong with having detailed lists of items which have some shared characteristics - see Comparison of crowdfunding services, Comparison of video codecs, and countless others. WP:NOTGUIDE does not really apply to list-type articles which, by their nature, cannot delve into minute details of the items they list. Personally, I am perfectly fine with articles titled List of... – although I have reservations with regard to Comparison of... since such titles suggest a substantial degree of WP:OR (comparing things is a creative work; mere listing them is not); hence my rename suggestion. — kashmiri ^TALK 15:50, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I think there are very practical problems with keeping a page like this: they might easily quickly go out of date. Whilst it at first seems obvious that the page may be of some use to someone looking to donate in the UK, we also have to bear in mind that should any of these services increase or reduce their fees, wikipedia may unwittingly be giving the unwary advice to use one rather than another based on old information. I think that's too much of a risk. In terms of policy, I think this fits somewhere near point 5 of WP:NOTADVERTISING and whilst I see the keep arguments and see the good faith of editors adding to the page, I don't think this is what wikipedia is for. We can't keep content that needs to be regularly updated otherwise it might give a commercial advantage to one product over another IMO. JMWt (talk) 13:36, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The same argument can be made about any other "Comparison..." type article. Comparison of web browsers for instance. Or Comparison of email servers. Things change constantly. Evolve. As WP:UPTODATE says, what you wrote should not be used as an argument in deletion discussions - because Wikipedia is a work in progress and cannot limit itself to well-maintained articles only. Also, listing several independently notable things along each other has nothing to do with advertising. — kashmiri ^TALK 15:24, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I see that argument, but there is a clear difference in my view between this kind of page and other possible comparison pages; which is that they're listing and comparing the fees and service information between commercial brands. My argument is not really WP:UPTODATE because I'm not talking about the general situation, I appreciate that pages go out of date. I'm talking about this specific situation where we're talking about influencing a commercial relationship the reader of this encylopedia might have with another commercial provider. I don't think we should be a source of information for consumers looking to compare brands for the best price, there are plenty of other web providers that do that much better than we could. JMWt (talk) 16:02, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also I don't think the other "comparison" pages are really the same thing, as they're discussing the technical details behind the provision of email servers and web browsers respectively. Once we start including the cost comparison of the various services, then we're into totally different territory in my opinion. JMWt (talk) 16:06, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

But this place, an AfD discussion, is about whether the topic is suitable to remain on Wikipedia; it is not about a single chart. If you consider the fee table inappropriate, why don't you propose removing it on the Talk page, or simply are BOLD and remove it? Requesting deletion of the entire article because of a single chart in it feels somewhat over the top. As for articles that contain price comparisons, it's an interesting topic but unfortunately I don't know the policy (if there is one). Maybe someone could guide? — kashmiri ^TALK 19:34, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have to say that I don't find the deletion rationale very clear or persuasive. Yes, this could grow to a very large list but I don't believe potential size of list is a reason to delete rather than, say, split if necessary. The suggestions for potential name changes don't require an Afd at all: this sort of thing should be discussed on the talk page or the page just boldly moved to a new title -- though the current list name seems better than the ones suggested by the nominator, as this does not appear to be a list reserved for charitable foundations that work globally or internationally? Finally, WP:CLN does outline how categories, lists, and navigation templates can all co-exist.

Source examples include, but are not limited to: ^[1], ^[2] ^[3], ^[4], ^[5], ^[6], ^[7], ^[8], ^[9], ^[10], ^[11], ^[12]. Per WP:LISTPURP this has valid functionality for navigation purposes, as demonstrated by the 6,161 page views it received in January 2016. Compare this to Category:Charitable organizations, which only received 304 page views and Category:Foundations, which received 250 page views in January 2016. Many Wikipedia readers do not use categories. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:19, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think he just meets WP:GNG. In addition to the Toronto Star article on him that's already in the Wikipedia article, we see this story on him from the University of Manitoba newspaper Manitoban, this piece in webzine Mixedbagmag and this coverage by CBC News. My own personal rule of thumb for "multiple" sources is three and I think he just meets that, when taken as a whole. I agree with the nominator that it's borderline but I land just over the other side of that line. I don't think he meets any of the other criteria of WP:ARTIST btw. His work has been exhibited but not significantly enough, at this time, from what I can see. So I do believe it's GNG or bust. best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:19, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There are more references than currently listed in the article, but any claim to notability is weak, and I think he fails almost all notability criteria for Creative professionals. Per WP:ARTIST: 1) He is not regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. 2) He is not known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique. 3) His work has not been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. 4a) His work has not become a significant monument. 4b) His work has not been a substantial part of a significant exhibition. 4c) His work has not won significant critical attention. 4d) His work is not represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums. This claim: "He has won several art awards from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council" is an exaggeration. As far as I can tell, he has won the Emerging Artist Award for the Premier’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts and was awarded one grant from the Canada Council. I can't find any sources that call the Emerging Artist Award 'prestigious'. Unlike receiving a notable award, receiving a grant does not make an artist notable. Mduvekot (talk) 18:24, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have been advised ( see Richard Alexander discussion on WP:NACTOR) that the above quoted rules are actually guidelines to help indicate whether an artist is likely to be covered in reliable sources and passWP:GNG. That he passes WP:GNG through significant reliable sources coverage makes him notable even though he may fail WP:ARTIST. Similarly, if an artist passes some of the criteria of WP:ARTIST but has no coverage in RS ( which happens) he cannot pass WP:GNG.Atlantic306 (talk) 03:14, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, all. I still don't see any sources that make this building so WP:Notable. If it were, then the Los Angeles Times or some other neutral source would have commented on it.

Burton Speiser

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

I don't think this guy is notable. The Amercian Brachytherapy Society, of which he was president, may be ok but there are very few sources for the man himself (614 GHits here, including LinkedIn etc). The cited obituary is a paid-for classified in the New York Times and everything else mentioned is typical stuff for a "minor" researcher. Sitush (talk) 02:45, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You make some good points. However, generally medical publications won't exhibit the same fame as basic physics and mathematics in the mainstream press. There tend to be significantly more publications for medical research (in this case only a few were cited but there are more for this physician and researcher) to document research results, which build on each other to the ultimate improvements that will pass FDA approval as new therapies. And in looking at a given piece, like this one, it shows a very high citation rate (31 citations) with subsequent discoveries in treatments for lung cancer) https://scholar.google.com/scholar?safe=off&espv=2&biw=1263&bih=622&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.&bvm=bv.112064104,d.cGc&ion=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&lr&cites=14880646036521840522

This doctor also invented what became known as the Speiser Needle (a needle within a needle for delivering radioactive treatments to tumors). However the only source I have online for that right now is the following (http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf2/k020015.pdf) and so am hoping there will be more sources forthcoming to add to this part of the description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pellamayor (talk • contribs) 17:16, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you can find sources somewhere then great but if they aren't discussing him then he is unlikely to be notable. Even the Speiser Needle might possibly be a notable device without Speiser himself being a notable person per se. We'd just mention him in an article about that device and, if it existed, perhaps redirect this article to that one. - Sitush (talk) 17:42, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New Testament Baptism, the symbolic significance

Delete. I agree with the nominator and Wiae -- this is original research from a single-purpose account. NewYorkActuary (talk) 09:08, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article entitled "New Testament Baptism, the symbolic significance" adds to reader understanding of the concept of New Testament baptism. The existing article on the subject of baptism takes a broad view and involves practices far beyond first century. Furthermore, despite the statements to the contrary within the article cited to support the assertion, the current article on baptism even regards these practices as early practices as inconsequential ^[1] (3.4). Finally, the baptism article cites extra-Biblical sources, which clearly lies beyond that stated scope of this alternative examination of the Biblical concept.

The argument that this article is simply a retelling of the existing article is without merit, as the "Baptism" article has the following cursory mention of the events described in "New Testament Baptism, the symbolic significance":

"The liturgy of baptism for Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist makes clear reference to baptism as not only a symbolic burial and resurrection, but an actual supernatural transformation, one that draws parallels to the experience of Noah and the passage of the Israelites through the Red Sea divided by Moses"

Notice the mention of these events are within a different context, and unlike the "New Testament Baptism, the symbolic significance," this excerpt from the "Baptism" article offers no support for its conclusions.

The definition of encyclopedia includes information "from a particular branch of knowledge" ^[2]. By the references cited, this analysis of the two symbolic uses of baptism adheres to the hermeneutic principles of contextual analysis, a method of textual analysis favored by many theologians.

To call the article a primary source or original research is a misnomer since all of the events discussed occurred in or before the first century and by definition, a primary source is a "source of information that was created at the time under study" ^[3],

The author of article chose to compose this article using a scholarly tone and took great pains to remove statement that were unwarranted by the examination of the texts presented. No statements are offered without evidence. It would not be difficult to add the conclusions of extra-biblical authors, but that would neither add to the examination or alter the conclusion made obvious by the examination of the examples.

Those advocating deletion of this article have pointed to no specifics. Furthermore any criticism of its form or bias could easily be applied to the existing article on baptism. Tthe author of this article has attempted to address any fair concerns that have been voiced and will continue to address any specific concerns. In the reply above, the author has attempted to address the generalizations leveled at the article in the hope that the article will continue to be allowed to do what encyclopedias should do: contribute to the body of knowledge and information on the topics it addresses.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 3fifthsofaMan (talk • contribs) 04:28, 3 February 2016‎

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

Non-notable person in the line of succession to the British throne. Has famous relations but by herself, there is very little notable things she has done. This article is mainly about who she is related to and minor trivial detail about individuals close to her. The article even says that "Lady Davina does not carry out official functions, but does attend family events including royal weddings." How is that notable? Thanks. Re5x (talk) 15:43, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update:Some thoughts to ponder... Please take a long close look at the article and see if what is on it constitutes notability of the person and not of notable events. Check the sources and see if they are reliable... (Daily Mail?...Royal Central???...The Mirror?...Hello Magazine???!!) Most of the present trivial information can be presented elsewhere as I've mentioned... Again what exactly makes her notable (disregarding her relations) This person, as far as I know, remains a private person and receives the occasional mentions because of her status but these mentions in itself don't establish how she is notable. Take away the tabloid sources and I'm not sure what's left that describes the person in detail... --Re5x (talk) 17:55, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't matter if we think she's trivial. The fact is that people follow the royals like a national sport. I might not think she's as notable as someone who discovered cancer, for example, but people are interested in her. Yes, she shows up in rag papers, but she's been reported on since her birth, with coverage over time in papers all over the world, as I and others have established. She passes GNG and no other standard need be met.Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:40, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as non-notable. I searched, even marrying a part-Maori man and giving her kids Maori names does not appear to have garnered more than minimal press mentions. The sentence about her on her Dad's page is sufficient.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:10, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a junior member of the world's most renowned reining royal family, a great-granddaughter in the legitimate male-line of George V of the United Kingdom. Her marriage was groundbreaking among European royalty for being the first to a non-White person that required and obtained the Royal Assent, the necessity for that authorization making her a member of a very small class of persons, notable for proximity to the Crown in the Line of succession to the British throne. Events significant in her life are reported in the mainstream media. FactStraight (talk) 19:01, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

OK, done. FactStraight (talk) 08:59, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment She is indeed a great-granddaughter of a monarch but that fact can be mentioned on her father's article. Just because she needed approval for her marriage does not warrant a whole biography on her as it is already can be seen on the Royal Marriages Act 1772 article. Facts about the so called ground-breaking marriage can be mentioned on that article and/or her father's. Please list these notable events which have garnered nobility wherein it was about her and not events where she happened to be a guest or received a passing mention because of her famous relations. Events notable to her personally and not in the greater scheme of things do not really count (mostly as these are just tabloid-ish filler)... Wikipedia is not a genealogical website and being far in the line of succession does not automatically confer notability. Can you establish her notability by her own right? All I ask is to look at her as her own person...--Re5x (talk) 17:47, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems singularly non notable, plus, an unsourced biography of a living person. Various user IDs keep reverting tags/redirects hence bringing to deletion discussion. Mabalu (talk) 10:37, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Well, there is coverage: [10] from The New York Times (a brief rundown of up-and-coming YouTube talent), [11] from The Daily Dot (about a parody video she made), [12] from TheWrap (announcement of an original Yahoo! show hosted by her), [13] from Ad Age (very brief mention of another show), and [14] from The Wrap again (anti-bullying stuff). It's not a whole lot, but I think this is probably enough to write a credible but small article. If these SPAs continue to add unsourced biographical details and rumors about her personal life, however, it's likely the article will need to be semi-protected.

keep Mentions in CNN, CBS, TIME Magazine, Business Insider, Fox News, Fortune and The Washington Post are plenty of third-party coverage.

All of these are non-notable "trivial mentions" in which a reporter, in the context of them writing an article about some other subject, called around for quotations.

Wikipedia's most important purpose is to be a useful resource. If people come to Wikipedia looking for info about a particular topic, as I did, Wikipedia should provide an article.

Jehochman ^Talk 03:47, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oh look, the essay you cited said, "Remember, you need to say why the article is useful or useless; this way other editors can judge whether it's useful and encyclopedic, and whether it meets Wikipedia's policies. Without that explanation, it does not make a valid argument." If you look right above, up a couple lines, you see I said "I just used this article to research a project I am working on... What I found useful was the link to TruthInAdvertising.org" My comment was exactly following the guidance to state a reason why something is useful.

Previously taken to AFD in 2014 with consensus to merge. The article is so full of buzzwords that I can't even penetrate a word of it, so I WP:BOLDly merged, which was undone for no valid reason.

Merge to Supply chain management § Certification, per consensus at the previous AfD discussion. The nominator here states that they merged the article, but this is incorrect. Nothing from the article was added to the Supply chain management article (See Revision history) and the nominator here simply redirected to the merge target (diff), which was reverted by another user with the rationale "Per AfD, no merger was performed, hence undoing redirect until the merge is completed" (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 17:18, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Northamerica1000: Saying "merge" won't get the merge done. I didn't merge because the article was so ensnared with corporate speak that I felt nothing was salvageable. If you think anything is salvageable, do it yourself; otherwise, you apparently want this article to sit stinking up things forever because no one can ever be arsed to take care of it. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:01, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I !voted to merge above, not for it to "sit stinking up things forever". Please focus on content, not on contributors, and please use correct wiki-terminology in AfD nominations. The redirect you performed is not a merge. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 19:09, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So are you going to merge it, or just let it sit around forever? If there was a consensus to merge, why not do it your own damn self? Do you want it to sit around forever? Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 00:44, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not obligated to perform the merge per your order and I don't base my editing upon your instruction, and per your overall tone here and elsewhere, nor should anyone else. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:13, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Supply chain management § Certification, per consensus at the previous AfD discussion. The nom has provided no policy-based rationale for deletion and from the previous consensus, a merge is the obvious alternative to deletion. A WP:TROUT to the nom--it would have been better to start a merge discussion on the talk page, per the usual bold, revert, discuss cycle, than to start another AfD. Today, I rewrote the prose of the article to remove some of the jargon and to give the prose a more neutral tone, in preparation for a merge. Hopefully the article is now more accessible for non-experts. The AfD, however, prevents me from performing a merge until it is closed. --Mark viking (talk) 01:57, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Bacha Khan University attack. Strictly speaking, redirect isn't what most people were arguing for, but given that some material has already been merged, I think a redirect is keeping within the spirit of what most people were advocating, and it seems like the simplest way to preserve the edit history for attribution purposes. Of course, the old text is still available via the article history, so if somebody wants to mine that for additional material to merge (or transwiki), there's no reason they can't do that (provided, especially in the transwiki case, that attribution is maintained). -- RoySmith (talk) 00:47, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Please speedily delete as it is poorly written and we do not need a separate article for reactions. Many articles for example 2015 Mina stampede and 2016 Ouagadougou attacks have reactions incorporated in them. Current article Bacha Khan University attack already has reactions in it. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 19:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ TransWiki, this topic is covered at Bacha Khan University attack. Only with unencyclopedic quotes added. Wikipedia is not the place for a list of quotes, please use Wikiquote. Jolly Ω Janner 22:47, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per several precedents clearly established in similar articles that were put for deletion in recent times. The article could be improved to make it more prose and less direct quotes, but articles that should be improved should not be deleted. The nomination rationale seems invalid, as the main article does in fact not duplicate the information in this one, but just briefly summarizes it and links to this one for further information. LjL (talk) 00:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Does the material in its scope belong on an encyclopedia though? It is almost definitely going to be a list of quotes of foreign ambassadors and heads of states seemingly compiled at random. Jolly Ω Janner 01:32, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned, several precedents (which concern this exact kind of quote collection) show that the consensus about your questions is "yes, it does", and I'm not going to challenge such clear consensus at this time. I don't necessarily see that it must be a list of quotes rather than prose highlighting differences in reactions by various states, and I don't understand the "at random" remark. LjL (talk) 15:06, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you are not completely understanding what we are actually discussing. The page has duplicate information from Bacha Khan University attack. We are discussing that we do not need a separate page for reactions as reactions can be included and are included in that other page. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 15:11, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any proof of such a consensus? It has not been integrated into any of our policy articles. The randomness is because the article does (and/or never will) define a scope for inclusion (e.g. whose quote is notable enough to be listed). As such, the core of the article is original research and likely to cross into non-neutral POV. Jolly Ω Janner 18:48, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@SheriffIsInTown: then why have you !voted "delete"? You should have voted "merge" if your intention was to merge the content of this article into the main article. There's a definite difference between deleting and merging. And anyway, reactions aren't currently included in the main article to anywhere near the extent that this article does, so, merging would be the thing to do, if anything.

@Jolly Janner: the core of this article is reactions by sovereign state governments, and that is pretty clear from all the flags and such that are typical of this kind of article (even though some people don't like it). There are about 200 sovereign states in the world, which makes the scope pretty well-defined and not indefinitely expandable.

Listing similar article discussions is helpful, but we should still do a case-by-case deletion discussion, as some events do not receive as much international ~~quotes~~ "reaction" as others. This attack received far less international discussion than the examples you provided. Jolly Ω Janner 00:00, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough Jolly Janner, but that sounds like an argument for "merge" (not enough standalone content for a WP:SPINOUT) rather than for "delete". LjL (talk) 23:38, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@LjL: I did not vote for merge because I don't know what would be the end result of that, the article we are asking to be deleted is poorly written compiled condolences which are never encyclopedic. I don't want that stuff to be merged with the other article. I fear that "One rotten apple will spoil the whole barrel." I voted "delete" because I know what would be the end result for that. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 10:58, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge I think this article can merge with Bacha Khan University attack.--Shwangtianyuan STRONGLY CONDEMNS 2016 North Korean nuclear test 03:57, 26 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Merge~~Transwiki - Most seem to be condolences and some vague offers of support that can probably be condensed down significantly. Though I think it might be useful to include the relevant quotes from each as a footnote for those who are particularly interested in what specifically each said. E.g.: "Statements expressing condolences for the incident were made by representatives from the governments of Angola^{[quote 1]}, Brazil^{[quote 2]}....Offers for support in their fight against terror came from Croatia^{[quote 3]}, Denmark^{[quote 4]}...." Something like that? AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 06:19, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Condolences are not encyclopedic. Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 10:58, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AdventurousSquirrel: what's your opinion on moving the list of quotes to a Wikiquote article and having an link to such in a box on the right hand side of section on reactions? There are examples of such on Wikiquote at https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Category:Terrorism. Jolly Ω Janner 04:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, that definitely sounds like an option. Though it's kind of too bad that the wikiquote templates are kind of hidden away in the external links section (as we see in 7 July 2005 London bombings, for example). I think it would both be more accessible for interested readers, and also more effective at dissuading editors from inserting more and more quotes of arguably limited value in the main WP page if there were a more obvious link to the sister site that could serve as a more comprehensive repository for them. Maybe the other more integrated inline interwiki links in Wikiquote:Templates could be used instead? As a hatnote for the Reactions section, maybe? If that's agreeable for everyone, I suppose I'd change my !vote to Transwiki, technically. AdventurousSquirrel (talk) 06:44, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this not sufficient for its own article. If there was a distinct, surprising response then it would be notable but there hasn't been anything out of the ordinary. Curro2 (talk) 22:59, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete I also advocated deletion for many of the "international reactions" pages above, and have frankly struggled to understand the basis of the keep arguments put forward for them. In my view, a list of international reactions which are deeds or actions taken by those countries will generally have sound basis for an encyclopedic article which meets WP:GNG, because in most cases there will be ongoing coverage of those actions or deeds; but a list of international reactions which comprises no more than a list of quotes of diplomatic condolence (which is the case here) should not meet WP:GNG, because other than an initial news report of the quote, there is no significant ongoing coverage covering that reaction. Too often I think keep voters have mistakenly argued that the reactions to the event WP:INHERIT the notability of the event itself. Aspirex (talk) 04:02, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete/Merge~~ Merge/Redirect Since many delete comments suggested merging procedure and merging was also voted many times, I took it to myself to add material from this article to the already existing Reactions subsection at the attack page. I don't think adding these quotes to the main Relations section requires the "closure" of this AfD, because it's such a small amount of text. Anyways, the article can be safely deleted now. Oh and if you feel like some quote doesn't belong, then please remove it without undoing the whole shebang. --Mr. Magoo and McBarker (talk) 05:56, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mr. Magoo and McBarker: the article can't be "safely deleted" once you've merged its content into another article, because as WP:Merge and delete explains, that would violate the license of Wikipedia content. That's why "merge" is a very distinct !vote from "delete". You can, however, "merge and redirect" (which preserves the history). LjL (talk) 23:51, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. No plausible reason advanced for deletion. Subject was creator of a notable manga series (that article's been around for eight years, and there's no controversy about its notability), and therefore appears to meet NARTIST#3. The only issue is whether this bio should be an independent article or merged into the manga article. That's not a matter for AFD.

I'm more on the WP:DENY side. In my experience, one key way to stop persistent sock puppeteering and ban evasion is to systematically remove the created content. If not, the banned editor has no reason whatsoever to stop spawning sock accounts and adding yet more content, in defiance of community consensus. That said, Ferret, there would be no reason whatsoever why you couldn't immediately recreate with new sources (or any independent reliable source, as there are currently none) nor is there any reason why you couldn't improve the article now. I think that if you did, more editors might be inclined to !vote keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:55, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Shawn in Montreal: After replying here, I found that the nom mass-nominated dozens of articles without any effort at WP:BEFORE. This article was created by the sock over a year ago.

Weak keep. While it does have reliable sources, it's about a small mobile phone game. Couldn't this be merged into Raving Rabbids? --Soetermans. T / C 22:12, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When an article looks like this, I'm in favor of merging, but when there's sourcing/content present like in this article, I see no issue with it being a stand alone article. Sergecross73 msg me 15:04, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as passing WP:GNG with multipel reliable independent in-depth sources, namely WP:VG/RS. It doesn't look like there's any content issues and the article was copyedited/sourced post-SPI, so deletion doesn't seem necessary for that reason. If really pressed, we can just recreate the article. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 15:47, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I had to do a HighBeam search in order to find anything useful, but it turned up this article [16] originally from VideoAge International. From there, I decided to do a Google search, pairing the name of the series with "Rai Trade", and I came up with these [17] [18] - the first is from a publication called The Business of Film, which I'm not personally familiar with, but it clearly seems to be an RS. The second is from Variety. I also found this [19], which appears to be from a blog of some sort, although Google translate leads me to believe that the owner of the blog actually worked on the series - so it may be an admissible primary source, per WP:USERGENERATED. I have to head out somewhere, so I haven't gone through all of the search results. These are just the first three that jumped out at me. If someone wants to spend even just a few more minutes on this, they'd probably find even more refs.

Keep Created by a sock, but edited by multiple editors since then; sourced fine enough and hardly a deletion candidate. Nate • (chatter) 08:11, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sourced fine enough? This article is unsourced! Electric Burst^{(Electron firings)}_(Zaps) 17:07, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So what?? You really should go read WP:NEXIST. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 18:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

keep per due diligence showing the film topic itself as notable even if the article is unsourced. Issues with an article created months before a block, are correctable through regular editing... and not a cause for deletion. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 18:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to DiDia 150. (non-admin closure) —UY Scuti ^Talk 17:57, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Di Dia

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

Completely unsourced WP:BIO1E of a person notable only as the designer of a single car — and I don't even mean a single model of car, I mean only one single solitary car was ever made at all. It might be appropriate to include a bit of information about him in DiDia 150, but neither the notability nor the sourceability are sufficient to support a standalone biography of him as a separate topic from the car. Delete, or redirect to DiDia 150. Bearcat (talk) 22:44, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:BLP1E. D4iNa4 (talk) 08:35, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to DiDia 150 (with the history preserved under the redirect) because most of the sources are about the single solitary car he designed. There is only one source specifically about him:
1. Ernst, Kurt (2014-03-12). "Andrew DiDia, designer of DiDia 150, dies at age 96". Hemmings Motor News. Archived from the original on 2016-01-31. Retrieved 2016-01-31.
I recommend preserving the article's history, so the article creator, Tinkertron (talk · contribs), can merge any useful information to DiDia 150 using a source like Hemmings Motor News.
No prejudice against undoing the redirect if more sources surface that are specifically about Andrew Di Dia.
I have notified the article creator of the deletion nomination since he was not notified.

Redirect if needed if this is questionably notable. SwisterTwister talk 19:56, 7 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - as per SwisterTwister and Cunard (at least I think that's who the other editor suggesting redirect was). Clear case of WP:BLP1E. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:44, 8 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
