- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete. Despite the pleas of the article creator, there is clear consensus here to delete. If Mazarae grows then certainly it may be eligible for inclusion at a later date; See WP:TOOSOON. KaisaL (talk) 15:54, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Non-notable, no evidence of notability. Also promotional and COI issues, but while those can be fixed/dealt with it’s still not notable. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 23:50, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree with nominator that this article does not meet our notability guideline yet. DeVerm (talk) 22:34, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Don't delete. I don't agree with nominator that the Mazarae article is promotional, the side doesn't want to make promotion, it just wants to inform people (that are interested into mathematics) that somebody has created a new form of a riddle which is a great development in mathematics. The riddle was a really notable invention in Schaffhausen and in the immediate vicinity. Since 2015 Mazarae is published regularly in two newspapers, as you can see: "Thaynger Anzeiger" and also in the "Neuhauser Woche" which has more than thousands of readers and participants which are trying to solve this new form of a riddle! Tell me, what I have to complement, that there are no guideline problems anymore. (Hanspeterleupp (talk)) —Preceding undated comment added 16:20, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- The guideline on notability is here: WP:Notability. See in particular the General Notability Guideline which describes what’s expected for notability in concise terms, with links to other pages that offer more detail on each point.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 17:05, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- I've been reading everything and I saw that the guidelines ask for sources, especially for the secondarys. I think that the Mazarae article is based on the website www.mazarae.ch, also based on the German Wikipedia page called Mazarä as you can see in the References. In addition Mazarae is monthly published in two different newspapers, which should also show the notability enough.
I made some new changes to make the notability more visible for readers of the article. Is it more obvious now? [[[User:Hanspeterleupp|Hanspeterleupp]] (talk)] —Preceding undated comment added 20:55, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- But none of the sources satisfies the General Notability Guideline. That in one sentence says
- "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."
- Of the sources in the article only one mentions the topic, mazarae.ch, and that is not reliable source.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 23:19, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete for now. Perhaps in the future, if this form of puzzle starts gaining widespread popularity, the article can be recreated. But for now, it is limited to appearing in two very local newspapers, and has no real third party sources showing that it has garnered any sort of recognition beyond that.64.183.45.226 (talk) 18:25, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as still too new obviously and my own searches have found nothing better at all. SwisterTwister talk 19:20, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Delete This is WP:TOOSOON. At the moment it seems to have limited popularity and there is no indication that it will definitely become popular or notable in the future. Delete for now, but no prejudice to recreating it later in the future when it has actually become notable. That would require more secondary and independent sources to actually talk about the puzzle. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 05:55, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Minor character from the Transformers universe. No evidence of real-world notability; one somewhat-reliable source cited which confirms the existence/appearance of a toy, but certainly nothing to ground an article on the character. Josh Milburn (talk) 21:20, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

- Keep or merge to List of Autobots. BOZ (talk) 11:26, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - Though there are a number of citations in the article, looking at them reveals that none of them really classify as reliable third party sources that offer any in depth look at the character. The majority of them are listings on fansites, works of fiction, and even message board posts. And even those don't really offer any insight into why the character is notable, just basic stats and toy listings. I was considering the merge to List of Autobots as suggested, but looking at that article, its not really an appropriate place to add any of the information here, that isn't already present there. At the very least, I suppose this article space could be left as a Redirect to List of Autobots.64.183.45.226 (talk) 18:32, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Business fails to meet WP:GNG. Secondary sources either mention this business in passing as part of an article about SAFER Barriers, and an article on one local town news site regarding opening a facility. Suggest Merge into SAFER Barriers. PGWG (talk) 19:09, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

The notability of the company is not established. Definite SPA/COI issues. This may also be a WP:NOTPROMO or WP:TOOSOON issue. They're doing research, and giving interviews and such, but there doesn't appear to be a product out in agricultural use. There are also problems with the sources. The first source, "Towards F1" is a primary paper where half the research team are Solynta's management, so it isn't independent if only for that reason, and if science RS is similar to WP:MEDRS, it's not acceptable. The second paper is about potatoes, and Solynta isn't mentioned in the abstract, though the technique is; therefore the connection made is WP:SYNTH, or it's possible Solynta is one of several companies doing this - there's no context for their business environment, which makes determining notability difficult. The Icon Award is for "innovative projects" (not necessarily, complete, viable, etc.), and there were four winners that year. Of the HighBeam sources quoted for notability in the DEPROD, the first is trivial, the second is a press release, and the third is another copy of the 2014 Icon Award article as a government press release. Those, by the way, are the only sources in Highbeam for this company. Article written by SPA User:Hkruyt, very likely Hein Kruyt, Managing Director of the firm. MSJapan (talk) 18:54, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. No claim to notability given besides being a "National Icon Laureate", which I can't find any reference to, so still fails WP:GNG. Even their website doesn't claim they've done anything. Maybe they will get sales and write-ups in the future, but there's nothing now. And, yeah, poor sources and COI. --A D Monroe III (talk) 20:22, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Searching for news sources, I see two articles in PotatoPro magazine, to which I reply "there's a magazine called PotatoPro?" I think the problems here are several. Although we have a general prohibition on using YouTube sources as a reliable source, there is no such prohibtion on tuber sources. However, coverage in the tuber press seems very weak, let alone the press not read by the tuber-growing community. Perhaps the sources are there and have been all mashed up and/or fried by the search engines. Who knows? It's quite obvious though that this is a non-notable tuber company, and any way you want to slide, mash or fry it, it fails WP:GNG and WP:CORP (but may be nonethless tasty).HappyValleyEditor (talk) 02:24, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete I was unable to find independent, in depth, reliable sources for this product; hence it fails notability guidelines per WP:GNG. Just FYI, the scientific notability guidelines are usually aligned with general notability guidelines. The main practical difference is that secondary content embedded within in primary sources is often considered reliable in general scientific notability discussions, but MEDRS is dubious about this and prefers dedicated secondary sources such as review papers, reliable books, etc. --Mark viking (talk) 19:44, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
The article is basically a copy of her IMDB entry. Does not meet WP:NACTOR; her roles in film are entirely limited to films her father Adam Sandler stars in, so WP:NOTINHERITED and WP:TOOSOON trump any potential notability for voice roles in the Hotel Transylvania films. MSJapan (talk) 18:33, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete or redirect to Adam Sandler#Personal life. There is little to show that the subject is independently notable of her father. News coverage about her is all in the context of her father, and WP:NOTINHERITED applies. I tried to fall back on WP:NACTOR, but it seems she has only done a bunch of small roles/cameos which can hardly fulfil "significant roles in multiple notable films". Since the title is a probable search target and there is a potential that she may be notable sometime in the future, I am not opposed to a redirect to Adam Sandler#Personal life --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:10, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

- Comment - Note the history of previous attempts to restore and remove the redirect so not only could protecting be viable option, we must also consider the fact there's still nothing actually convincing for her own article, simply connected to the father's article....thus why should we keep it open if there are no signs of her own notability anytime soon?

- Putu (mushroom) (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)
Putu is a non-English (Hindi?) term for, apparently, puffball-like fungi (see this paper where "putu" is listed as a common name for Lycoperdon and Geastrum). It seems unlikely that there is more to say about it than a dictionary definition, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Any in depth content should go on pages about the specific fungi. Plantdrew (talk) 17:37, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - No sources cited, unclear meaning, other sources which point to likely duplication, and non-English usage. That it shouldn't be an article is very clear. I guess the question is just whether to retain a redirect. We don't typically include redirects from non-English translations, and absent sources which show this to be an English common name, it doesn't seem like we need the redirect. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 20:51, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Another song failing WP:NSONGS completely. No ounce of third party independent notability, no major chart performance, and no sources indicate that the song was received outside of its parent album, Teenage Dream, either by the media or any journalistic or academic material. Was performed only once on the supporting tour where also it did not receive independent reception.

Non notable, sourced almost exclusively to a SPS. Article is also highly misleading, suggesting that the interchange is notable for being under construction for 44 years; it has merely been upgraded at various times. No converage by reliable secondary sources. Floydian τ ¢ 15:16, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Guys, the interchange started construction in 1974 according to this: http://www.thekingshighway.ca/PHOTOS/Hwy401photos5.htm
- Indeed. The first ramps (a trumpet), which no longer exist, connected with the then-two-laned Highway 410 were completed in 1978. The outer flyovers to Highway 403 were built from 1977 to 1980, and the inner flyovers between 1982 and 1985. The connection between the 403 and 410 was built from 1991-1992, and the flyover from the 410 to EB401 was built from 1989-1991. New work just began on the missing connections. - Floydian τ ¢ 16:09, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
PS This interchange looks impressive so it deserves to be created.

- Actually, since verifiability and notability are core policies, deletion is the proper course of action. No coverage by reliable secondary sources means the subject doesn't merit an article. The content of the article is almost entirely unreferenced (the self-published source has no value) and poorly written, and does not belong in any of the three highway articles (two of which cover the history of this interchange rather well). - Floydian τ ¢ 16:25, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete—I haven't seen any evidence of notability thus far. It would help, at a minimum, if this interchange had a unique name rather than a moniker that perfunctorily describes it in terms of its intersecting highways. I find the claims of 44 years of construction to be overstated and not reflective of reality based on the comments above. Find some "significant coverage in reliable sourced independent of the subject" (i.e. WP:GNG) and we'll talk. Until then, this article fails to meet the thresholds for inclusion, and it should be deleted. Imzadi 1979 → 00:35, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete Just one of hundreds (thousands?) of highway intersections. Yes the roads are very major ones, and the intersection is likely one of Canada's busiest, but there don't seem to be any reliable independent sources showing that this is a notable subject. A verified claim of the traffic volume here would help to show notability. Meters (talk) 18:07, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. While it is theoretically possible for a highway interchange to merit its own standalone article under very rarefied circumstances, the vast majority of highway interchanges have no independent notability separately from the highways that they're part of — and nothing here substances or sources any reason why this one would belong in the former class rather than the latter. And a highway interchange having been periodically reconstructed or upgraded, in exactly the same manner as every road in existence is periodically reconstructed or upgraded, is not the same thing having been under construction for the entire time of its existence — so the "44 years of construction" claim is bullpuckey, no more true in and of itself than saying that Highway 401 has been under construction for 102 years just because the original Toronto-Hamilton Highway of 1914 wasn't already built to fully contemporary freeway standards all the way from Windsor to Vaudreuil. Bearcat (talk) 18:25, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

I believe this article is a classic case violation of Notability cannot be inherited, Christopher Ciccone started career as backup dancer/choreographer for his much more famous sister Madonna. Nowhere in his career did he have any independent notability other than the fact that he's the brother of Madonna. He only released one book and thus his only claim to fame is his book (ironically) about his sister. WP:SINGLEEVENT applies here again strongly according to which "When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both." It might be worth noting here that based on this I would rather have an article on the book Life with My Sister Madonna and delete this article, it simple does not pass WP:NOTABILITY. —IB [ Poke ] 13:27, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

- Redirect to Madonna (entertainer) - This is a good case of "notability is not inherited". While the subject did write a book, it was based on their association with Madonna. Even a recent tabloid type article about the subject's marriage refers to them as "Madonna's brother". If the subject is not notable on their own right, it can be simply redirected to the person they are associated with. Since it is a valid search term, I would prefer a redirect. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:04, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

- Navier-Stokes equations with Estakhr's Relativistic Correction (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)
There are no independent reliable secondary sources discussing this equation. The only scholar hit for "Estakhr's relativistic correction" is this 2015 abstract, with zero GS citations, written by Estakhr. Notability requires in depth treatment in independent reliable secondary sources. The cited abstract is a primary source, that is not independent of the originator. Furthermore, conference proceedings typically have minimal peer review, so I do not think we can accept this source as factually reliable. Furthermore, I do not believe that the discussion of Estakhr's relativistic version of hydrodynamics is consistent with maintaining a neutral point of view. Relativistic hydrodynamics is a mature subject. For example, see the review article Gourgoulhon (2006) An introduction to relativistic hydrodynamics (which has been cited 65 times on Google Scholar). No mention at all is made of Estakhr's work, so an article on this correction appears to be assigning undue weight to a fringe view not held by the scientific mainstream. Lastly, the article was created by an evident WP:SPA, who likely has a WP:COI in this area. The article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Estakhr's Constant (physics) was also created by the same editor, and deleted as a hoax. An IP sockpuppet has been lobbying to add similar material to the article Navier-Stokes equations, which is now semiprotected due to this disruption. Sławomir Biały (talk) 13:20, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

The result was keep. As per comments, this doesn't appear to be an actual proposal for deletion on notability grounds. The article needs work, but the nominator's points are not grounds for an AFD discussion. Nobody has weighed in on the notability of the subject, so I am closing this as a keep.

- Comment poor style is not reason to delete, it is reason to edit, sources can be in any language, so the sources being in Korean is no reason to delete. Bias (language advocating a given point of view) can be edited to be neutral point of view language. None of the reasons given are reasons to delete.

- Comment And if all these changes are made, then we will have an article that is too short by Wiki standards. The vast majority of the statements are written like this: " Despite of the difficulty in adapting to GT car from formula car, he has won the championship for the GT1 Class." It's not a Wiki page; it's a glorification page. It's just as bad to make the edits and be left with a stub or less, no? Sonoflamont (talk) 09:47, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

The general issue I saw is that I don't see (in general)how we have an article on a tool/component of an OS without falling into WP:NOTGUIDE; so much of what's out the comes from a usage standpoint, and it's not like a physical tool that you can track developments in easily. MSJapan (talk) 22:18, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep A simple WP:BEFORE-style search shows agood number of RS for this topic. I added 9 references to the article, 3 of which are primary and 6 secondary. There are enough in-depth RS to confer notability per WP:GNG and to support a modest article on the topic, and a plethora of authoritative primary sources to draw from as well for uncontroversial knowledge. A notable topic and an article with surmountable problems suggests keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 05:26, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. As there has been no additional contributions in the past two weeks, I am closing this as a no consensus as no appetite to discuss to a conclusion appears to be present.

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by the creator, User:Oosoom, with the following rationale "rm PROD with intention to supply reference for record breaking 360 method peal". I am afraid, however, that even with the new refs this article fails to show notability. The references included do not suggest that this organization has received in-depth coverage; and a passing mention here or there does not suffice. If the coverage has been in-depth, links or scans would be appreciated for verification. Also, The Ringing World is a very niche source and likely fails Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Audience. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:37, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep Bellringing, within the scope of this discussion, is an activity in many countries, including Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the US as well as the UK.
- The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (CCCBR) [4] is the representative body for bellringing and has affiliated societies in many countries: South African Guild of Church Bell Ringers, The North American Guild of Change Ringers, the Irish Association, The Australian and New Zealand Association of Bellringers, Ladies' Guild of Change Ringers (international), Associazione Suonatori di Campane a Sistema Veronese (Italy).
- The CCCBR decides the technical specifications for ringing methods, compositions and “world records”, much as an international sporting body.
- The Ringing World [5] is the official journal of that organisation, reporting ringing performances (all peals, worldwide) and world records. The CCCBR and The Ringing World are therefore of worldwide notability and authority.
- Manchester Universities Guild of Change Ringers has been repeatedly mentioned in this official journal and has been a pioneering organization in the advancement of the science/sport of bellringing. As many of the achievements and activities of this society predate the internet they are not readily discovered by a search engine! Oosoom Talk 11:34, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
- Today many sources are digitized, and accessible on Google Books or such. But I agree it is not required. What is is the confirmation that there are sources with in-depth coverage. I will repeat my request for scans of the Ringing World articles so we can confirm they are, well, in-depth. Whether the publication itself is able to confer notability is an interesting topic, again, in light of Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Audience.

- Comment Sources have been found establishing Ringing World as a long-running major magazine for this type of percussion, hence it seems a reliable source. All the scans taken together (thank you Oosoom for those!) might be in depth, but there isn't a lot about the guild beyond notes on performances and people involved. In addition, MUGCR is listed in a couple of national level bell ringing directories [6], [7]. Hence the guild is of some note. But I haven't been able to find in-depth news articles or documentaries about it. Basic facts are verifiable, but I haven't found a good merge target. Reluctant delete at this point, but I will keep looking. --Mark viking (talk) 13:14, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
- Indeed. Nobody is disputing that the guild exists, the problem is that it does not appear to be important enough (WP:N, WP:NORG) to be included in an encyclopedia, which after all is not Yellow Pages. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:18, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I looked at Category:Bell ringing societies in England, and frankly, the articles there all seem to fail notability policies (some more then others, ex. Oxford Society of Change Ringers). I agree with User:Mark viking that it would be good to save them. I'd encourage User:Oosoom, who seems to be interested in those topics, to consider merging all of them into Bell ringing societies in England. Individual societies may not be notable, but their grouping, as a whole, is more likely to be encyclopedic. If no such merge is done, I intend to, reluctantly, review and likely nominate for deletion each of the remaining organizations in this category. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:22, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

The question in this case is whether or not the article passes the GNG. Although the subject is an artist, he is unable to meet WP:ARTIST has his work has not received sufficient attention.
There are a lot of references, but in the end all but three are irrelevant in terms of notability. The rest are either self published, primary or unrelated to the subject. The three which might be relevant are:
- James, David E. (2003). The Sons and Daughters of Los: Culture and Community in L. A. Temple University Press.
- Kaplan, Ben (January 2002). "Each of These Men Has a Secret". Marie Claire.
- DuValle, Christopher (August 9, 2012). "Death of a Dummy (Apri) Review". Best Horror Movies.
The Marie Claire one sounds good, but it seems too trivial. It isn't about the subject, but a fluff piece where a person tries to guess the secret of a small number of otherwise random people. If it was focused on Waugh I'd be inclined to count it, but there is not enough there for it to count towards notability. The David James book is a bit better, as it describes an early video piece, but it does so in two sentences while describing every piece on display at the event, and provides no information about Waugh. The third, Christoper DuValle, looked possible, but proved to just be a reader-submitted review of a YouTube video, and was not included on the list of official reviews on the site.
So I guess it comes down to whether or not the David James and Marie Claire pieces are sufficiently non-trivial. I'm ultimately going with no, and they aren't enough to pass the GNG. Bilby (talk) 06:09, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Keep - The subject satisfies criterion 4(b) of WP:CREATIVE, which reads "has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition". The David James book does not describe every display at the LA Freewaves festival, doing so would require a book thousands of pages long... the festival is days long and covers multiple locations (even broadcasts over television). David James mentions several primary displays at the festival from that year; the primary exhibits display at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, where Freewaves also holds its opening ceremonies. The Freewaves festival is one of the top festivals in the field of experimental media arts and video, the field for which Waugh is best known. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 11:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- What constitutes a "substantial part of a significant exhibition"? A single work in a much larger exhibition does not seem to be substantial - 140 artists were included, all at the MOCA. If there was anything else - an interview with him somewhere, or a review of his work, or really anything in any reliable source beyond a single two sentence description of a single work I'd be with you. But there's nothing. No other significant exhibitions which included his work, no published interviews in reliable media, nothing at all. Just once, many years ago, a short video was displayed with literally hundreds of other works. There isn't even a second mention of him being there - just the two sentences in a single source. That doesn't feel like it is enough to be a "substantial part". - Bilby (talk) 15:02, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- I'm well-familiar with Freewaves. Exhibiting at the MOCA portion means he was a significant exhibitor at the festival. That's where the festival's most important exhibitions are held. The exhibitions aren't all at the MOCA, they exhibit in various other places throughout California, broadcast on TV and online. Your argument misses this point... it sounds like you're trying to apply a GNG argument regarding sources, but that's moot as CREATIVE is established. The mention in "Sons and Daughters" is among several other people at the entire festival and the book itself seems to be about street and experimental art in L.A., not just about Freewaves and certainly not exhaustive in covering all exhibitors. GigglesnortHotel (talk) 17:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- Again, it is one work among 140 artists. This is a significant festival, but by no means is it shown that this is a substantial part. Substantial part requires more than a single work by an artist that's made no impact anywhere else since then. At any rate, we don't have a source saying that this work was at the MOCA, only that the LA Freewaves was held there. If the argument is that all the works were at the MOCA there's no special significance in this one. If being at the MOCA was special, then we need something independent saying that it was there. This is one of the problems with the article as it stands - a lot of claims not about Waugh, but seemingly making the subject sound more important than he perhaps is. - Bilby (talk) 23:09, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- You're arguing against settled fact. The MOCA displays are the most important of the festival, which has multiple locations. The total count of exhibitors at the festival is beside the point and the fact that Waugh hasn't made any (known) impact elsewhere is also irrelevant; CREATIVE 4(b) says nothing about "making an impact elsewhere". The book chooses to mention him and a couple others out of 140 exhibitors and he exhibited at the MOCA portion, this fulfills the requirements of WP:CREATIVE 4(b). The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 03:33, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- I am very happy to accept that 20 years ago one of his videos appeared at a significant exhibition, even if none of his works appear to have done this agin. But to satisfy WP:CREATIVE, his work needs to have been a substantial part of the exhibition as well. There's no evidence that this is the case - one work among 140 other artists, is not a substantial part. The single mention of that appearance we have isn't singling out Waugh - Waugh's work is only mentioned because it was part of a bigger display which demonstrated a theme that the author was discussing. We don't even know for sure that he was a t the MOCA portion, as we don't have an independent source on that, but that wouldn't be enough.
- Fundamentally, there is no sign that this single work was a substantial part of the exhibition, and no sign that he has done anything significant since then. Unless we can prove that it was a substantial part of the exhibition - and the only mention of it that we have doesn't prove this - there is no sign that he passes WP:CREATIVE, in spite of claims to the contrary. And there is nothing else, at all, to base his notability on. - Bilby (talk) 04:46, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- "But to satisfy WP:CREATIVE, his work needs to have been a substantial part of the exhibition as well." As two people have repeatedly told you, IT WAS, and the supporting evidence has been described at length. You seem to be ignoring us so there's no point in responding further. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 15:58, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not ignoring you. I just can't see how a single work out of 140 artists that has only been briefly mentioned by a single source can be seen as a "substantial part". You've offered two reasons for thinking that it was. One was that it was displayed at the MOCA portion. While that alone doesn't prove that it was a substantial part, we don't even know that it was the case, as we don't have a source saying that it was. The second is that being mentioned in James' book proves it was substantial. However, James only lists the work as a part of a set, and that is only listed because of a theme he is discussing. Even then, what it shows is that one person noted that the work was on display and mentioned it - not that it was a substantial part. There are no other independent sources, anywhere, that even mention the work in relation to LA Freewaves, and nothing that shows that it was a substantial part. - Bilby (talk) 20:47, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Again. The MOCA portion is the most important part and displaying there means it was substantial. This isn't even debatable. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 02:17, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- Two questions, then.
- 1) How do we know that just being included at some point at the MOCA as part of this particular exhibition means that it was a substantial part, as opposed to a normal, everyday work that was part of LA Freewaves? Was he one of only 10 artists on display? Or one of 100 artists on display?
- 2) Do we even have a source saying that his work was at the MOCA? There is so little on this artist that we don't even know that.
- I know you want to defend the article, but the point of requiring that an artist is a "substantial part" of a significant exhibition is that just being shown at an exhibition, once, in someone's career is not enough to say that we can write about them. The assumption is that if the artist was a substantial part of a significant exhibition then there must be valid material written about them so we can create the article. In this case there's no evidence he was even at the MOCA, much less that he was a substantial part. And that is why there is no material we can use to build an article, because other than self published sources there is virtually nothing on him. - Bilby (talk) 04:24, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hello Bilby, I tried to explain this down below. By displaying at the MOCA portion of Freewaves, he is automatically considered a substantial part of the festival. The MOCA events are the highlight of the festival. It's significant honor to present at Freewaves and presenting at the MOCA is like being a headliner. GigglesnortHotel (talk) 20:46, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

(outdent) I emailed the subject and he provided me with a link to a scan of an e-mail conversation he had with Anne Bray, who is the founder and exacutive director of Freewaves. The Email confirms he exhibited at MOCA. Since it's primary and the number of primary sources are already a problem for some folks I won't add it to the article, but it's 100% confirmed. I can drop it here if you like. EDIT: There's also a scan of the catalog for the event which lists him. Also primary. The Master ---)Vote Saxon(--- 00:51, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

The event has had a great depth of coverage from all media outlets in Hong Kong, as well as some regional and international coverage [9]. The death toll is quite notable by HK standards, as is the length of the fire and difficulty in extinguishing it. There is already talk of lasting ramifications including addressing the widespread issue of mini-storage facilities in old industrial buildings [10]. There has also been coverage of discord within the Fire Services Department in relation to this fire [11].

Martial artist that fails both WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. There is no claim of notability except for claiming that after 9 years of study he is a leading proponent of his art. Being a proponent is not the same as being an expert and I've never known any Chinese martial artists to be considered one of the best in such a short period of time. There's a lack of significant independent coverage except for saying he's a teacher and gives lectures, which most martial artists do and doesn't make him notable.Mdtemp (talk) 17:39, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Based on the article's lack of sources, he doesn't seem to meet WP:MANOTE or WP:GNG. The real problem was when I searched on his name. It was a bit tricky, given there are professors and a PLA general with the same name, but when I focused on tai chi I did not see the significant and independent coverage needed to meet the GNG. Of course there may be sources in Chinese, but that's beyond my language skills. Papaursa (talk) 00:18, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- The article says "Wang Xiaojun is practicing Taiji Quan and Shaolin Kungfu from 9 years", not "for 9 years", i.e. from the age of nine, for nearly 40 years. This interpretation is supported by the source cited in the article, which says "from the age of six, under his father's guidance", but that's not a contradiction because it may well be that he started formal training at the age of nine. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:36, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Can you point to some significant independent coverage of him? I'll admit I'm somewhat handicapped by the fact my firewalls block out Chinese websites. 00:10, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. There is no real consensus at this time. As Robert particularly objected to the referencing which has been improved (albeit scarcely), and there has been no real discussion of the subject's actual notability, it is difficult to action a delete. The lack of participation may be down to a lack of real case being made for Meghan not meeting the notability criteria, and hopefully any relisting can explain the grounds for this side of the nomination more thoroughly.

Doesn't meet WP:NMUSIC - all but three of the "sources" are his Bandcamp page.

WP:PROMO, does not meet GNG. Deprodded as "claim of notability in download statistics." There's one RS in here from InfoWorld, and that's about it. Jaxenter is essentially less of the same information, and we don't take user-gen content from repositories or Meetup.com as RS.

- Redirect to JavaScript templating, where it is mentioned. I found two InfoWorld articles [12],[13], but both have a lot of quoting of primary sources and not much secondary commentary.--RS, but not in quite enough depth. The download stats are an assertion of significance sufficient to avoid a speedy deletion and perhaps enough to cast doubt on a prod, but not enough for notability, because you can't build an article on a download stat. I don't see any good merge target. A redirect to JavaScript templating would be reasonable, but a merge would be unbalance the article. VueJS or vue.js are reasonable search terms, so a redirect could be justified. --Mark viking (talk) 21:18, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Flat-out incorrect. Made-up term, and unsourced because of it This is rapport, but this is unsourced and we're never going to find anything using this term because it's not real. "the tendency to form a rapport" in the lede is "rapport building", and the rest of it is some sort of psychological opinion as to why you build it.

The arguments in this AFD have been minimal despite two relistings, but given this as a new creation may have viably met the CSD, I am happy to close in this way. @David Gerard: I have not redirected as part of the close as I am not clear that Ravenous (band) is a reasonable redirect to Funker Vogt that somebody might search; However, I would not object should you choose to do this.

- Redirect to mention at Cloud9_(esports)#Counter-Strike as he is most prominent for this incident, which is covered there. All other hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search are passing mentions—nothing in depth on his play. czar 23:17, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Conceptually, I can see that, but I certainly don't think he's the primary topic for Freakazoid, unless you want to literally use his goofy capitalization scheme currently used in the article as the redirect. Sergecross73 msg me 15:59, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
- I would normalize the capitalization before redirecting its contents, yes. Note to closer: The Daily Dot links are down right now, otherwise I'd comment on them. When I searched the same website earlier, I did not find enough coverage apart from C9 to warrant a separate article. I'm also not confident about the reliability of sites like TheScore and PVP. czar 17:41, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
- I suppose if there's eventually a consensus to redirect this page, we may as well just delete it instead, since it would be an WP:XY that could equally point to Cloud9 or Echo Fox. (this is not a vote, just to be clear)--Prisencolin (talk) 21:58, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

- What sources are there that covered him in significant detail about things not related to his incident of being caught bullying someone else? All the significant coverage seems to be about that than anything else. Sergecross73 msg me 02:41, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- There are stories about him being dropped from C9 (unrelated to bullying incident), being picked up by Splyce and Echo Fox and a couple of interviews from reliable sources.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:07, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
DeleteNeutral. I did some searching (admittedly, not a huge amount). What I'm seeing is mostly hits for Freakazoid!. Those that look like they are for the subject of this article all totally unsuitable as sources; a gaming wiki, and things like twitter and youtube. The onus is on Prisencolin to present specific sources and explain why they are sufficient, not just assert that they exist. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:59, 2 July 2016 (UTC)- The Daily Dot, ESPN, Yahoo, and Breitbart News are a reliable sources. PVP Live should be, but I suppose I'll need to double check. There have been discussions about TheScore eSports and it may or may not be a reliable source.--Prisencolin (talk) 23:05, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the quick reply. I'll go along with the Breitbart article; it seems to be a reasonable publication (not NY Times quality, but certainly having some editorial control) and the article cited is clearly more than a passing mention. So, that's one source. I'm not finding the Daily Dot citation, however, can you supply a direct URL? -- RoySmith (talk) 23:13, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- There are several articles [14] [15] [16] and more from google search--Prisencolin (talk) 23:40, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
- I have to admit, the Daily Dot sources you present do seem to meet the letter of our requirements for WP:RS (the first one has WP:1E issues, but the others don't). Still, I'm having a hard time with this. One thought is that I just can't see that covering a professional gamer as a legitimate encyclopedia topic (although, I freely admit that's already a lost cause). Another thought is that I'm having trouble with a source which describes itself as The ultimate destination for original reporting on Internet culture and life online. A big part of what's wrong with Wikipedia is that it's (way) too much focused on pop culture, current events, and things which are easily researchable on-line. In some senses, we've become a blog dressed up in encyclopedia drag, and using sources like The Daily Dot just reinforces that. So, I'm going to remain neutral on this (call it IAR Neutral if you must). But, thank you Prisencolin for responding to my queries. -- RoySmith (talk) 11:07, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello there, I still think this article should be deleted. Two of the links in the references are still dead. The dead Youtube link didn't really prove any notability anyway. Neither did the other one. What else do we have? They appeared on a Des O'Conner's Pot of Gold show once - so what? They don't seem to have won it - not according to the reference provided. What else do we have - various low key business adverts which shouldn't be on Wikipedia anyway and the band's own advert. According to user Atalantic306 they've appeared 'regularly on mainstream TV'. Well no proof has been given to show that they have. I think this is the very type of article which takes away Wikipedia's wish to be taken seriously as an encyclopedia and not treated like a search engine. Hence my wish to take this to AFD for a proper evaluation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.153.175.199 (talk) 08:34, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Firstly, there are hardly any reliable independent secondary sources available which speak about this band (the references to talent agencies/event listings do not count). This fails GNG. Trying to fall back on WP:BAND I realised none of the conditions are satisfied. Essentially, this is a local band which performs at weddings. I decided to also have a look at their facebook page just in case it is genuinely popular, but found only 2783 likes. As nothing indicates it is popular, I think is a clear cut delete. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 19:21, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

I took it upon myself to completely rewrite it a while back in copyedit attempt, but it's been sitting around as an unsourced stub ever since. Today, two Google searches confirmed my fears: neither this search nor that one showed any results from independent, reliable sources. It appears to not be notable in the slightest, and as result, it'll pretty much just sit here like this forever. I believe we should delete it. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:38, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a local-market television journalist, whose only discernible claim of notability per WP:JOURNALIST is a two-day blip of coverage when a viewer criticized him for being "too gay" -- but that just makes him a WP:BLP1E. And of the seven sources here, three are Twitter tweets, one is his staff profile on the website of his own employer and one is a blog entry -- which leaves just two pieces of actual reliable source coverage with which to measure notability, but that's not enough to pass WP:GNG in the absence of a demonstrable JOURNALIST pass.

Searching JSTOR, I found Fire and Wakefulness: The Devi Jagrātā in Contemporary Panjabi Hinduism which deals with the exact same topic. (If someone has access, please have a look).

Note: The user page of the author (Adekande) of Bola Akande currently says "Bola Akande". This seems to indicate the article topic is also the article author. tahc chat 00:47, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete, not a single reliable third-party source covering the subject in some detail. Google News finds some stories about a St. Louis city official, nothing about this person. Huon (talk) 17:15, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
- DO NOT DELETE This is a notable person, there are external links found on the article page written by me Ade Lynda, not Bola Akande. Therefore the article is written by an external source not Bola Akande who is the article topic. Most references are from Bola Akande's website, extra sources found online (which is referenced below in the article) and book Without a Word found on Amazon. This article is about a notable person. Bola Akande is linked on the Wikipedia article List of British films of 2014.Adekande (talk) 00:23, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Another external source is a published Nigerian newspaper 'The Nation Newspaper. Nigeria. Saturday March 26th 2016. Interview by Mr Sunday Oguntola. 'CELEBS WORLD' Column on page 29, 32, & 33.' -Adekande (talk) 00:38, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
- Comment - the newspaper images are violations of the newspaper's copyright. I have tagged them for speedy deletion and removed them from this page. Even beyond the copyright issue, that was an interview with Bola Akande about her father, not independent coverage of Akande herself. Similarly, Without a Word is authored by Akande, not independent coverage of her. Huon (talk) 00:11, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete. This page was no doubt created in good faith, but I don't see sufficient notability to keep the article in Wikipedia. A news search finds a couple of short pieces in echo-news.co.uk about the church's cafe/community centre, but that's all. – Fayenatic London 11:43, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

NN startup. Does not inherit notability from its designers, and folded without generating any revenue. MSJapan (talk) 05:05, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
- Delete: A WP:SPA article whose history also included substantial editing from an account whose name is similar to the company founder. Brief reviews can be found from the time of the start-up, often relative to competing products of the time, as is typical / necessary for new product propositions, but I am seeing nothing to indicate notability either for the product or the company. I agree with a previous Prod notice, which was removed without comment, and see no real notability: fails WP:CORPDEPTH, WP:GNG. AllyD (talk) 07:52, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

- Delete This is not notable at all. Yes, it existed at some point of time and got a few reviews when it started ([23],[24]). But the depth of coverage is seriously lacking (fails WP:CORPDEPTH). Being a competitor to a possibly notable service, doesn't mean the subject is notable. The website started in Aug 2006, launched in May 2007 and closed in 2008. From what it appears, it was not notable enough or was not widely used. We simply do not need an article about this. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 06:32, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
