Unencyclopaedic: is essay of no notability, obviously created for purely political purposes. Recommend merge or speedy delete. Dschslava Δx parlez moi 21:20, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • KEEPhave any of you even read either of the pages in question? This material is barely covered at the main article. Everything is sourced here, and phrased neutrally. There is much more to come. Give this baby a chance to live. This is an obviously notable and significant topic-- far more so than the "Barack Obama Anti-Christ conspiracy theory article" or whatever it's called. I call out the conservative bias of Wikipedia. This is an extremely notable topic. In just an hour, I've assembled over 50 notable sources, and have many, many, many more. (At least 500-1000 notable articles on this topic alone.)Very Good Friend of the Encylopedia (talk) 04:15, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Note to closing admin: Very Good Friend of the Encylopedia (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this AfD.
And? Am I not alone to speak in my defense? What sort of kangaroo court is this? This is an excellent, heavily sourced page on a topic of enduring international interest. Years from now this is likely to be the only thing anyone remembers about Trump. Very Good Friend of the Encylopedia (talk) 04:38, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nothing says you cannot give your opinion. This is just a template used to identify the creator of an article when he or she fails to disclose that information. Meters (talk) 04:52, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent! I had no idea a disclosure was necessary. In my opinion, all the reasons given above are altogether spurious. Very little of this information is re-produced elesewhere on this website (please verify these claims with links that show where there is any overlapping material if I am mistaken, I have not seen any), and the material is obviously notable. We have full articles on many much smaller controversies involving political figures that have received much less coverage than this one. In just the first day, I've provided nearly 200 references. What is the need for a rush to suppress this before the article is even fully formed? I added the stub tag indicating a work-in-progress. Very Good Friend of the Encylopedia (talk) 05:00, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is not a neutral encyclopedia article but rather a POV pushing essay. The most obvious example of lack of neutrality is that David Duke is described in the present tense as the leader of the Ku Klux Klan. Actually, Duke Duke led one faction of the Klan in the 1970s and quit the Klan in 1980. There are many other such examples. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:07, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

so fix the error, this is completely irrelevant as a reason to delete the article; excuse me if I'm not an expert on the leadership structure of the Klan. Very Good Friend of the Encylopedia (talk) 05:11, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Solid Gold (Nikki Yanofsky album)[edit]

Solid Gold (Nikki Yanofsky album) (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)

Unreleased album, with no reliable sources to show notability. In reponse to "uncited" tag, the editor put references to the artist's tumblr and instagram. Claim that Wyclef Jean is the producer might be true, but also not supported by reliable sources. A brief web search didn't turn up in-depth discussion of the topic. Slashme (talk) 18:46, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This album along with her single "Young Love" that was released yesterday is HUGE news to the fandom and her community. Her Instagram, Twitter, and other social media sites she's verified on are already posting promos, teasers, and clips of what's to come with the new album "Solid Gold." It'd be a real tragedy to hide that considering that we haven't heard anything new from Nikki Yanofsky on her songs for more than a couple years now. I've made a post on the Wikipedia reliable sources noticeboard to get some clarification on whether or not her profiles can be used as reliable sources, since Yanofsky is a rising artist and not many reports are being done on her, making it hard to find other sources. In short, the reply I got was that these profiles CAN be used in the articles citations as long as it follows the policies given in WP:SOCIALMEDIA. In this case, I'm sure that Nikki Yanofsky is an expert on the topic Nikki Yanofsky and can provide reliable information. The article has sources that also link to this years IdeaCity fest where she announced that she's working on the album with Wyclef Jean. (IDEACITY, @5:52). She performed a number of the songs to be featured on the new album including "Me Myself and I" and "I Owe It All To You." Both these songs along with her latest single "Young Love" are featured in one of her posts that talk about the track listing of Solid Gold. Because there is this background information, using her social media profiles shouldn't be an issue as shown in Wikipedia's social media policies. They just add more information and details.

This is very important news and the album should be coming around within the next few weeks. This has been known already since November of last year. EDIT: Her tumblr is currently the redirect from her official website http://www.nikkiyanofsky.com which is owned by Quincy Jones Production and her A440 Entertainment label.

Reply - @Slashme:, at this time, I am not specifically advocating for a separate article for the album. However, if the article cannot be kept, it should be redirected per WP:CHEAP as a valid search term. --Jax 0677 (talk) 15:19, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I'd be OK with a redir, but then we need a decision here, otherwise there will just be an edit war about whether it should be redirected or not. --Slashme (talk) 19:57, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • All albums are not automatically notable just because they (will) exist; an album is notable enough for its own article only if and when reliable source coverage in published media which (a) is independent of the musician's own self-published social networking presence, and (b) verifies one or more criteria that would pass WP:NALBUMS, can be provided to support it. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising platform — articles on here must be based on reliable sources, and not on an artist's own self-published marketing efforts. Creative professionals are not objective observers of their own work, so their own self-published content about it can be larded through with overinflated public relations hype — which is why her own social media posts about a new album are not sufficient sourcing to get the album an article if real media outlets haven't written about it yet. Delete, without prejudice against recreation if and when proper sources can be added to carry it. Bearcat (talk) 17:19, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - @Bearcat: What if A440 Entertainment which is her label announced that the album is coming out? Would that be considered a reliable source, and if so would the other sources we already have up on this page be usable if there's the label to back it up? Me00lmeals (talk) 04:03, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'll step in here. No, it would not. Notability is based upon reliable third-party sources. The label releasing the album is clearly not a third-party source. I don't believe that the article as it stands is using one single reliable source, period, as everything is being sourced directly from the artist. You need to understand what is required for a proper article first, and probably one of the biggest things is that the album (in this case) needs to exist. MSJapan (talk) 04:36, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It would help only in the sense that once the label announced an official release date, the media would probably start actually writing about it. The record label's own press release would not cover off the reliable sourcing issue all by itself, however — it would be a step in the right direction, not the final answer, and you'd still have to wait for actual media coverage to actually appear. Bearcat (talk) 15:02, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - @MSJapan: Ok I see, then this album shouldn't have it's own article. However I'd rather have this redirected to the Nikki Yanofsky Discography section but not lose any of what we have on here so far. Only because this album is VERY close to it's release and it's very important news in the community. Nikki and her label A440 along with Quincy Jones Productions have confirmed it so it should make some appearance on her article. Then once reliable sources are discovered this page can in a way be brought back. Keep this discussion going till there's a decision and let me know what you think. Me00lmeals (talk) 05:07, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Me00lmeals: "What is here" is not encyclopedically appropriate. It's also not important until someone besides Yanofsky et al says it is. Wikipedia is a lagging indicator of notability, not a forerunner. It doesn't matter what anyone involved with the album has said or done with it, period. Album info can be added to the Yanofsky article once it actually exists, and if the album gets to a point where it meets NALBUM, it can have its own article, but not before. BTW, you're sounding a lot like a PR rep here, and if you have any sort of connection with any of the companies or artists you have mentioned, you should not be creating articles on them, and you need to read WP:COI as well.

Biographical article on a non notable person. Shaji Nadesan is one of the co-producer of the film production company, August Cinema. Article lacks reliable sources on the person, but this nomination is not only based on that. This article is made only for "linking" purpose. The awards received for his productions are used to cover his non-notability. Then there is the content issue, other than the two line intro there is nothing, film list is from the article of the production house. The thing is, there no biography in this biographical article. Charles Turing (talk) 20:40, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - First things first. "Co-producer" does not rob him of the fact that he is a filmmaker. And for a biography of a filmmaker, per WP:FILMMAKER pts. 3 (...has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews...) and 4 (...person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums..., this person is fairly notable. To dig into his works, films like Indian Rupee, Manjadikuru, and Ennu Ninte Moideen have won critical acclaim and multiple National awards. Secondly, I don't understand what you mean by "linking" purposes. Do you mean that this guy has an SEO team working for him trying to rank this Wikipedia page of his on page 1? Highly unlikely, but on second thought, and quick Google search, it does seem possible. Lastly, I agree there are no sources to back the personality's notability, but his work should be enough.

What is this article contribute to a reader looking about producer Shaji Nadesan. The very known information itself, he is the co-producer of August cinema, other than what?.

  • Delete - I'd have to concur with Charles Turing on this one. As a co-producer he is responsible for arranging financing of the films - not any creative contributions. The awards that the films have received are based on the creative input of the director and actors not the producer. Notability has clearly not been established.

  • Delete/redirect to Myrath. First, a disclaimer: I was asked to come take a look at this AfD by Coolabahapple. Now that that's out of the way, I can't really see anything to show that Jouini is independently notable outside of Myrath. It's actually fairly difficult to establish notability for performers outside of their band, as you have to show where there's coverage that focuses specifically on the performer - in other words, a news article (for example) that goes into depth about Jouini and isn't just something that mentions him in relation to the band. Even then the article would be expected to focus on Jouini, not just on his time with the band. I don't really see where this exists at this point in time. It's possible that he might achieve independent notability in the future, but he just doesn't pass notability guidelines at this point in time. He might never pass - it's actually more common for someone to not be independently notable. For example, not all of the Cradle of Filth members are independently notable, despite the band being extremely popular. There might be other performers in the group with articles and it might even seem like there are other people who are less notable that have articles, however the existence of other articles doesn't mean that every performer merits an article. (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS) It might be that the other people pass notability guidelines on other criteria or it could just mean that these other performers don't pass notability guidelines and just haven't been found and deleted yet. As far as COI stuff goes, I'll post a message on Tuscany's (formerly Evadowdinternational) talk page about that. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:46, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete mayors of places with under 25,000 people are almost never notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:49, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, per WP:BIO "Major local political figures who receive (or received) significant press coverage". Large amount of mentions / coverage in the Chicago Tribune[6]. He has been mayor of an Illinois county seat for over a decade, with coverage as a US Congressional primary candidate as well. --Dual Freq (talk) 12:21, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, I agree he is not notable enough. I live in the area where he is Mayor and he has not held a higher office than Mayor of Geneva. Yes, he has run for higher office, but was unsuccessful. I don't think he plans to run for higher office anytime soon. Plus, Geneva has less than 25,000 people. Both St. Charles and Batavia (neighboring towns) have populations bigger than that, but their Mayors don't have articles. Finally, a lot of the information is outdated and unsourced. I agree this article needs to go. -- NBA2020 (talk) 19:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • A population of 21K is not large enough to get a mayor over WP:NPOL #3 just because he exists. If there were a genuinely sizable volume of sourcing here, then things might be different — but of the four sources here, three of them are to his local community weekly newspaper (a source that's not widely distributed enough to get him over WP:GNG all by itself), and the only one that's in a major daily newspaper is just supporting the names of his kids, rather than any substantive content that would have anything to do with making him belong in an encyclopedia, and doesn't appear from its title ("Mayors pick their spots for quiet, communing") to have all that much else to offer. And having been a candidate in a congressional primary doesn't assist his notability, either — a person does not get over NPOL by being a candidate for office (or by being a candidate in a primary), but only by winning the election and thereby holding office. So that counts for nothing, and we can evaluate this only by virtue of the office he did hold — and the office he did hold is not one that gets him into Wikipedia if the sourcing for it is this weak.

This company has been out of business for 20 years. Even when it was around, it was not known outside of the western suburbs of Chicago. There are few sources for the information and the article is not linked anywhere. I do not believe it is notable enough for an article and it should be deleted.

  • Delete, I rarely heard of this store when it was open and I live in the area. I was surprised to see it had a wikipedia article. No one I've talked to knows of this store. And the article has uncited information. It needs to be deleted. -- NBA2020 (talk) 19:59, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete. On one hand, there's no significant coverage. On the other, this software is clearly used by a number of major universities. Of course, that doesn't mean that there's sufficient information to be able to write a well-sourced article - and indeed, there isn't. Enterprisey (talk!(formerly APerson) 01:19, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  The topic has two dozen institutions as formal partners.  This topic is referenced in Wikipedia articles, and is also used in citations to reference material stored in certain Hydra repositories.  In Google searches I'm seeing text from Finland, Denmark, Korea, and England, as well as U.S. locations.  Whatever is done with this topic, deletion would appear to do harm to the encyclopedia and the ability of editors to maintain the encyclopedia.  I doubt that most editors care if it is merged to another topic, as long as they can locate information and link to it.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:54, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Unscintillating, I completely agree with you that the software is used by a number of major universities and institutions. However, I don't think that's a valid claim of notability; for example, NSOFTWARE (an essay, admittedly) doesn't talk about uses of a given piece of software. Also, the topic is only referenced once in a Wikipedia article, a passing mention in the "Software implementation" section of Digital library. Enterprisey (talk!(formerly APerson) 05:05, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    You make good points, and my content knowledge cannot address your content questions.  For example, why is this topic not covered or mentioned at Fedora Commons?  I'll drop notes on the talk pages of Digital Library and Fedora CommonsUnscintillating (talk) 14:59, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Appears as a topic in digital library literature: "Domain-Specific Program Generation", The Librarian's Introduction to Programming Languages: A LITA Guide, Video Data Management and Information Retrieval, Digital Scholarship 2009, Building Trustworthy Digital Repositories: Theory and Implementation.

  • Merge. Although the significance of the software in general may not warrant an article, its prominence in its own field hopefully warrants a section in its field article, Digital library. Coincidentally that article needs improvement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lyuflamb (talkcontribs) 09:38, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hydra is listed in that article, but I don't see a feasible way to add more information. Similar software packages, like Islandora, have their own articles, and those are part of the FOSS portal.

PROD removed with the thin explanation that it not being built is not sufficient for deleting, but the fact is there's simply nothing else to suggest any notability, here or later; the article is still rather advert-toned and the local sources are simply press talking about this, there's still nothing at all to suggest the needed independent notability. As it is, it's been planned for 4 years now with no actual founding signs of any assumed notability but with only news expectedly talking about a local business venture, there's nothing to accept.

  • Comment – I deprodded this in part because the prod rationale stated, "Still too soon considering that, not only has it not been built, but it's nowhere near there. Delete at best for now as independent notability has not been established yet." (diff). In part, I feel that the "delete at best for now" part is inaccurate, because the Austin, Texas article presently has no mention of the topic (other than in the merge template I added), and the topic has received a great deal of significant coverage in Texan sources. As such, "at best" in my opinion extends to at least a merge of the content, as a functional WP:ATD that will improve the merge target article. Also see image at right.

  • Keep under the condition that this article be rewritten so the the subject is actually the 1000 units set aside for low income families (perhaps in conjunction with the other units). It also appears that a number of units are to be slated for mid-level income families. It seems to me, these facts illustrate the significant impact of this project. Not tedious and monotonous promotional details that are not worthy of note.
In fact, I think I will try to rewrite this later today. Also, I am willing to bet this can be moved to a more appropriate title (or topic heading) for Wikipedia after this AfD concludes - such as "Easton Park affordable housing" or something like that. I think the current title, as it is, is based on promoting this development more than its significant effect. Also, thanks again to @Northamerica1000: for providing sources that demonstrate notability of topics. Steve Quinn (talk) 18:54, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This looks to be a non-notable fanfiction. I like the author's creativity, but I just don't see where this would pass WP:NBOOK. Most fanfiction never gets to the level of notability needed to pass that criteria without being published ala Fifty Shades. Even one of the most infamous fanfiction works out there, My Immortal, doesn't qualify for its own article and that's kind of a household name in the fanfic communities.

  • Comment – Below are a couple bylined news article sources that are not press releases.

Prod removed. Per WP:Geoland: "Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This includes mountains, lakes, streams, islands, etc. The number of known sources should be considered to ensure there is enough verifiable content for an encyclopedic article. If a Wikipedia article cannot be developed using known sources, information on the feature can instead be included in a more general article on local geography. For example, a river island with no information available except name and location should probably be described in an article on the river." Nothing of relevance here to merge with Singapore River.

LOL --Lemongirl942 (talk) 09:18, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You should see WP:BEFORE, which recommends doing Google, News, Books, searches before nominating for Afd. While Pulau Seletar technically did not meet WP:GEOLAND at the time of nomination it was trivially easy to find sources that provide more than name, location, statistics on the island and add that information to the article. Lazarus Island already had a cited section on the island's etymology, so GEOLAND wouldn't apply there either. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:16, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep. I've used the sources provided by Lemongirl942 to expand the article a bit more. Sources there before my edit clearly established the economic and archaeological history of the site, beyond the requirements of WP:GEOLAND. and my changes only reinforce it. Given this, there is little reason this should be open for a full week. My suggestion to the nominator is to avoid AfDs and work on their own content for the time being.---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:52, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only major best known work so far is Aladdin and even his Miss Atomic Bomb was simply as a "Soldier" character, it's still too soon at best for any actual convincing independent notability; my searches have simply found expected trivial mentions and nothing yet substantial.

I should also probably correct some misinformation from above. According to the sources, his role in Miss Atomic Bomb was also a leading role, as this review clearly shows; and the character's name was "Joey" - not just "Soldier" - as this review clearly states.
But even those exclude the additional notability he derives from being one of the top finishers on Britain's Got Talent, as noted here, demonstrated here covered here and even referenced here. By receiving significant coverage in multiple published reliable sources, he also easily passes both WP:BASIC and WP:GNG.
So in review, he's received significant coverage for his prominent theatre and television show work, as well as the tabloid coverage he's received as the boyfriend of recent Tony Award winning "Best Actress" Cynthia Erivo. So to those who've argued that he only has the one stage credit of Aladdin and "minor" work in Miss Atomic Bomb to support his notability, I think a full review of the reliably sourced, published record obviously shows much more than that.

And even when considering the weaker notability criteria from the article itself ("Ogunyemi's articles have appeared in [...] several international media platforms") those do not actually appear to be supported by the references given in the article (e.g. reference http://www.slate.fr/story/103099/nigeria-elus-parlement-prime-vetements is not written by Ogunyemi, is not written about Ogunyemi, and at most possibly quotes a Tweet by somebody who might be Ogunyemi.) --Fëanor (talk) 22:50, 9 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Previous AfD was in November, and was a less-than-stellar lack of consensus. Keep votes were based on:

  1. SHOUTING MAKES THINGS MORE CONVINCING! and
  2. Meets WP:GNG with no explanation whatsoever.

News search yields 29 results all but two of which are not in English. One of the English results is a blog and the other result is this article from The Observer about "vulgar and racist" rhetoric in the Russian media. It's got some treatment there but it's not entirely clear why this phrase should be more notable than others mentioned like “Obama is bad” and “Obama is the devil”. Of all things, one of the phrase's claims to fame in the piece is that it got its own Wikipedia article. It claims the article was deleted, but all I saw was the previous no-con AfD. Maybe it was speedied?

Two other English sources on the article, one is a blog, and the other is this The Times article. All I have is a preview, but seems to just be listed along with other propaganda: an image of a Red soldier "sodomizing" a Nazi, and "Bardak Obama" meaning apparently "whorehouse cheat".

To summarize, seems that this is at best a meme and a slur that's gotten very little attention in sources in any language, and basically none in English. Does not appear any more notable than an article on Depictions of Obama with a Hitler mustache, which incidentally, gets 289 results in a news search. In the same vein, Fuck Obama, which this phrase appears to boil down to, gets more than a quarter million. TimothyJosephWood 14:24, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The phrase's only possible claim to notability is that it was one of four 2015 winners of Russian "Word of the Year" ("anti-language" category). Of the 11 other winners mentioned in that article, none has a Wikipedia article about the word, although seven of the winners are references to events or phenomena that were sufficiently notable for their own articles (none of which mentions the prize-winning Russian word). Perhaps that tells us something about the "notability" of being a winner of Russian "word of the year". — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:44, 27 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • The page was created by Messir, who self identifies as Russian, so the most parsimonious answer would seem to be no. Also, looking at their history, apparently there is an article for Putin khuilo! that...exists, which survived a robust AfD, but it seems to have also originated as a song, which turned into a chant some people were actually sent to jail for, and otherwise received more substantial coverage in sources generally.

Non notable film. PROD was removed but still no evidence of any notability. Only its star seems to have the vaguest hint of notability, the film has none at all. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk   21:05, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Not notable despite some very limited press coverage. That coverage is enough to reference it as a list item in RJ Mathukutty#Filmography but not enough to justify an article for the film. I'd be neutral on redirecting this title back there. I don't see a need but it would be harmless. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:48, 16 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I've protected the page because people have repeatedly removed the AfD tags. That said, I can't really find anything substantial about this movie. It's mentioned offhand here and there, but there's very little out there in places Wikipedia would consider reliable. The most in-depth coverage was in this article, where the video was mentioned as being popular on YouTube - and being popular on YouTube counts for little on Wikipedia. (WP:ITSPOPULAR) If it was that easy to gain notability on Wikipedia that way, we'd have a lot more articles about the various LP-ers out there. Other than that, everything is just offhand WP:TRIVIAL coverage. There were two other sources on the page, but I'm not sure that either is particularly reliable. This source is very brief and I can't seem to find anything about the site's editorial process. Given that the article has some grammatical errors, this makes it questionable enough to where it wouldn't be considered a RS on here even if it was more in-depth. Kerala9 is better, however I'm concerned that this might be based on a press release. It's questionable at best, however even if we decide that this is usable (I'm on the fence with this one) this paired with the Deccan Chronicle source just wouldn't be enough to assert notability. If foreign language sourcing can be provided then that would be great, however this looks like it was one of those viral videos that became popular enough to gain a few nods in the media but not popular enough to really gain substantial coverage.
