Tempo (Magic: The Gathering)[edit]

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

There are no independent reliable sources that discuss this topic. The only sources are primary sources that are directly related to the sale of the products mentioned. Unlike Tempo (chess), which while poorly inline sourced, does have reliable sources about the concept, a search of google books and news doesn't show it as a concept in even the few articles about individual notable championship games or the like. The theorists cited are also not independent of the games themselves which make this more questionable. Ricky81682 (talk) 22:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I would offer the possibility that there's a couple options here: first, tempo is not strictly limited to Magic but used for many other CCGs (including Hearthstone), but finding strong sourcing for this term is weak. But still, this might suggest broading the topic. I also noted that Tempo (bridge) exists, which is related to the concept (gaining advantages faster than the opponents), so maybe something there, but again, here I can't easily connect how the origin of "tempo" in Magic or other CCG connects to the bridge or chess term. --MASEM (t) 18:07, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See Tempo_(disambiguation)#Games_and_fiction for a full list. If you think there's something there, I'm fine with draftifying this for further work. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:37, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jodense Valenciano[edit]

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

Okay usually I don't put a AFD for a page that is new-but in this case I'm making a exception. Anyway page has been recreated under Jodense Valenciano (actor) and Jodense Valenciano (singer) also. Now back on topic-from what I can tell this guy might not be that notable. Something is off with the dates-as it mentions him in a magazine as a lead role in 1992 when he was born in 1991. (I doubt he starred in all those shows also, more like one appearance, unless if he was one busy actor!) Wgolf (talk) 22:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting that it has been recreated a few times by a different person each time also! Wgolf (talk) 22:37, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nothing at all convincing for the needed notability and improvements. I myself never have regrets about AfDing a new article and, with this case, I would've considered PROD and started an AfD only if it was removed or also if there are risks for restarting again.

The result was no consensus. Or rather, no actionable consensus - I get the impression that we do have consensus not to have a separate article, but to cover this topic in one or more of the existing election-related articles. But there's no agreement here about what the target article(s) should be. I recommend exploring this further through a merger discussion on the article talk page.

Bernie Bro[edit]

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

Oddly found in Category:Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016. Apparent WP:NEOLOGISM, too soon to determine notability. One of the many names thrown around in this US presidential election. If not deleted best to merge somewhere. Wickypedoia (talk) 21:15, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Siding with the above calls of WP:NEOLOGISM, I'd say that undue weight is lent to the term, as most of the sources are very tabloid-esque opinion pieces/editorials in news outlets and blogs. Tpdwkouaa (talk) 18:57, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and also add as a short section to Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016 Serious journalism on Bernie bros exists [2], [3] as does extensive coverage in a light vein in serious places [4], [5]. It goes back at leas to October 2015 - very early in the campaign season. And it continues [6]. Mu news google search [7] turned up 79,300 hits (of which I looked through the first page, and the first entries in a "sort by date" search). The sourcing exists to pass WP:GNG. Article needs improvement.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- NA--NTEMP? It's been, what a week? A month? Half an election cycle? We're still in TEMP. Drmies (talk) 12:01, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, maybe merge – It's become a popular term, and has become associated with the campaign. If this page is kept, it could probably be expanded a little bit. If it's merged, then it should be merged into the 2016 campaign page. ^Knowledge_Battle | ^Talk_Page | ^Godless_Infidel ┌┬╫┴┼╤╪╬╜ 06:22, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's a WP:NEOLOGISM with relevance only to the 2016 election. It has no lasting notability and is WP:NOTNEWS. Reference can be made to the language used in the discussion of the 2016 election.Thalia42 (talk) 07:02, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- I appreciate the work you did, but still think this should be deleted as a non-notable NEOLOGISM without lasting notability. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:11, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- In a similar vein, I still think it ought to be merged as I noted in my original vote. Deus vult! Crusadestudent (talk) 19:15, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I see you 1 Wall Street Journal discussion of Bernie Bros, which follows the USA Today definition already on the page, and raise you by one Samantha Bee (see news search here: [8]; youtube video here: [9] Seriously, guys, Samantha Bee supports notability, but the article is serious and the sourcing is serious, extensive and massive.E.M.Gregory (talk)

And more material.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:22, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The existence of sourcing alone doesn't mean an automatic keep. Nobody has denied that sources in legit publications exist, just that that shouldn't make this a page. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, when the sourcing suffices to provide reliable, secondary sources for the origin, use, definition, notability and impact of a neologism, sourcing does in fact mean keep.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note I surmise that some of the delete iVotes were prompted by the sourcing in the article which, when I came to it, was sourced heavily to blogs and non-mainstream news outlets. My rewrite depends on major, mainstream sources like the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and The Atlantic and USA Today. Really, I think with coverage that is ongoing, and in-depth since October, this topic sails past WP:GNG. The larger challenge was not too few sources in searches, but, rather, sifting through the myriad hits on this topic in reliable sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:22, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016 - clearly this term has no notability outside the campaign. Staszek Lem (talk) 16:58, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Very Merge into Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016 for this term is all than put Pro-Hillary/Anti-Bernie propaganda as term sound (obivously) nothing attacking majority of Bernie Supporters that in reality are Liberal with minor exceptions to Moderates or rarely Conversatives. Put I saiding isnt mostly merge into Bernie Sanders presidential campaign, 2016 simply because his name on it, Put rest of page have Anti-Bernie bias in articles otherwise. 2606:A000:85C0:E00:59E5:EB0:6143:A583 (talk) 03:37, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PAGEDECIDE specifically cautions against articles becoming "too unwieldy." The article for Sanders presidential campaign is already very long and merging the entirety of this article would make it far more unwieldy and lengthy. I think a much better option would be to include a very brief summary of the contents of this article at Sanders presidential campaign, 2016 and then direct readers here with {see also}} or {main article}}.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:34, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as I'm not seeing this have any better signs of solid independent notability apart from the campaign itself. SwisterTwister talk 22:24, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note, however, that there is no official connection to the campaign.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge; despite the page needing work to make this clear, there are now sources that describe the use of the term, which should defuse the WP:NEOLOGISM objections. 75.88.47.95 (talk) 22:27, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. News sources. News follows the news, and rolls by what it called the news cycle, and WP is WP:NOTNEWS. It's really not hard to understand--not everything that is newsworthy is of encyclopedic value. Drmies (talk) 16:00, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Suggesting that we defer keep and revisit later. I am adding solid reporting from the Los Angeles Times to the article now. I suggest that given the fact that coverage in experiencing a major boomlet; the fact that this topic is part of the heated dispute between the liberal/Clinton and progressive/Sanders wing of a party engaged in a major political struggle; and the fact that coverage of the Bernie Bros is likely to continue until after the Philadelphia Convention and perhaps through the election, that we punt. i.e., keep this for now and see how the article looks in a few months. WP:PRESERVE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:25, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well, let's default to "delete" then and see if a year from now this has proven to be something notable. Drmies (talk) 16:00, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, that Los Angeles Times piece I just added is typical of my effort to stick to stodgy, mainstream media in my rewrite of this article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:39, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now largely for the reasons given by E.M.Gregory. The article has gotten significant attention from the mainstream media, but I think its too early to tell whether this is actually going to tell whether the term is really significant or if its just a neologism that got a spurt of news coverage during the primary season. I think it would therefore be best to keep for now, and re-examine this a couple of months into the general election if Clinton wins, or a couple of months after the general election in the incredibly unlikely event that Sanders wins. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 06:28, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Leading to delete or keep given mostly reasons from Drmies with WP:NOTNEWS, This will not last until Third time call for deletion. Simply because Mainstream News pundits (who probably only attacking last Democratic Candidate in this 2016 election race) keep using term or use more recently as Propaganda againist Sanders supporters, Put regardless most of americans will less likely buying on term or its meaning since only 6% of americans have care about it while 52% others will believe some sources as serious, Seen from this finding^[1] (except Hillary supporters until Democratic Convention). 98.27.17.168 (talk) 08:31, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I could not do a correct WP:BEFORE because there was a significant episode of storms in Oklahoma (I assume this is the same Duncan we are talking about, since the article also mentions Pontotoc) in May 2015 that fills up the search results. However, even if we assume the article is factually correct, it is still too mild an event for WP:SEVERE/N (I do not think "1-2" qualifies as "multiple" fatalities for the purpose of that essay/guideline).

Canada and the 2016 United States presidential election[edit]

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

First sentence is "So far Canada has played a very minor role in the upcoming US presidential election." It's WP:TOOSOON to determine the impact Canada has had on the US presidential election. Also has an WP:OR vibe, with sections on "Ted Cruz controversy", "Donald Trump", and "Keystone XL" lumped together to make this an article. Wickypedoia (talk) 20:20, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

While articles like this have occasionally been created for Canada's relationship to some past US presidential elections, it's not a standard thing that should automatically exist for every election (none was ever created for 2012, frex, and before 2000 the only other one that does have one is 1960) — in reality I'm not convinced that any of them should exist at all, but that's beyond the scope of this particular discussion unless and until the others are nominated for deletion as well. There might be a case, much later in the year, for an article like this if some genuinely substantive reason for it emerges, but nothing here is substantive or encyclopedic enough for this to already be necessary today — there's got to be much more substantive reason for it than simply listing every single time Canada has any tangential connection at all to anything that happens and/or public opinion polling about who Canadians would vote for if they could vote in it.

Too soon. Only two primary sources (interviews) at Google News. There is this article, but Cupcakke is not the sole focus. Fails WP:GNG. Strong possibility she'll warrant an article in a year's time, but I ain't a fortune teller. Anyhow, I'm not convinced she meets any of the criteria at WP:NMUSIC -- she's not even signed to a label per the article.

Each fact must be evaluated for the reliability of its source. An interview is often a very reliable source for certain facts.

Keep. I had to wade through rivers of junk hits for the film - and there were many - but I found just enough for the film to pass notability guidelines via a review from AICN and a local source. It's an insanely low amount of sourcing and not as great as reviews in the Hollywood Reporter and Bloody Disgusting, but it'll make it just barely squeak by NFILM. I also found this but I can't remember if Horror Society is considered a RS on here or not. I don't usually use it, but that doesn't always mean it's not usable.

Israel Palestine conflict[edit]

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

This page was created by user:Oncenawhile in violation of the community consensus regarding the definition of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (see the discussion where the scope of the conflict was discussed), with his proposal to group 1920-1948 sectarian conflict in British Palestine, 1948-present Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the broader 1948-1973 Arab-Israeli conflict under one article was rejected. While Oncenawhile refused to delete or redirect this page himself per WP:GF on the grounds that disambiguation page is not an article, he was very determined to de-facto change wikipedia redirects (such as this edit) and article content (see [16], [17], [18]) to reflect his position. Furthermore, this newly created Israel Palestine conflict disambiguation page might also violate the previous status quo of refraining from creating new "Israel Palestine" titled articles (see the case of Palisrael and case of Israel-Palestine).

Comment Am I missing something, or should this clearly be a redirect to Israeli–Palestinian conflict? I honestly am asking, as I am not up to date with this whole area. However, this seems very similarly named to Israeli–Palestinian conflict, coming under the remit of Template:R from modification. Also, the discussion you linked was closed as no consensus. — crh ₂₃ (Talk) 14:39, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Crh23: The issue is that our wikipedia article "Israeli-Palestinian conflict" is defined very narrowly, only referring to the conflict post-1948 and excluding the wider Arab-Israeli component of the same. Whereas in the real world, scholars almost unanimously discuss the conflict as beginning in 1917 or 1920 when the British took over, and cover the whole lot together.

It's the difference between the longer-term and multi faceted War in Afghanistan (1978–present) vs. the War in Afghanistan (2001–14) that is more commonly discussed today.

Redirect to Israeli-Palestinian conflict as per above. I suggest that this could easily have been redirected per WP:BOLD, but for the fact that it's this topic.

Please see Talk:List_of_ongoing_armed_conflicts/Archive_8#Starting_date_of_Israeli-Palestinian_conflict. Wykx (talk) 17:42, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Wykx: thanks - an interesting discussion. It seems like you and Mateo share my passion for finding a solution for the current mess, although we all seem to have different views as to what the outcome should be. Perhaps you could share your views at Talk:Arab–Israeli_conflict#RFC:_Is_this_the_whole_conflict's_parent_article?.

Your chart above is interesting and shows the problem well. Your view starts the conflict in 1947, and although you exclude events like the King David bombing or the Hebron massacre, it still means that no article covers the whole lot because our Arab-Israeli conflict article starts in May 1948. It is all very muddled. Oncenawhile (talk) 20:56, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your compliment and tag. This issue is a total mass.

I have mentioned in my conversation with Wykx that setting clear cut dates on historical processes, especially conflicts, is a mistake. It's always artificial and most times just raises more stir.

The conflicts regarding Israel are good example. No conflict started at 1947, it's clearly a false compromise. The Arab-Israeli conflict began way before, while the Palestinian-Israeli one couldn't be possible.

After explaining extensively that these conflicts should be separate, I would suggest setting all starting points of the Israeli-Arab conflict to "Late 19th century" and the Israeli Palestinian ones to "mid 20th century", and let the sides interpret it as they like. Not all historical events "began" one sunny afternoon. Most did not. But considering this is an unorthodox way to look at history, i did measured the complexity of the issue at hand and suggest a starting date.

First of all This article should be completely deleted. It's an original research with clear POV background that got into a huge snowball messing up the whole issue at hand. Most of it's important data appears in the politics section of the mandate article anyway, and the rest can be solved by sticking with the two known conflicts of the region: The Arab-Israeli and the Israeli-Palestinian. Now because the former conflict (Israeli-Arab) should cover it all as you say, it should probably start with the first Zionist immigration to Israel/Palestine (than ottoman province). If one defines a conflicts in a more narrow sense of two clear sides under intentional physical struggle, then one might consider the reaction to Balfur's declaration as the start of the more general conflict. The later conflict should start in 1964, around the time the PLO got independent from the interests of Arab state, while still in the Arab league.

Deleted - This new article reclines on an article that should be deleted, it should be deleted as well.

With regards, 23:11, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Redirect I agree with the claim that there were conflicts in the area that are not covered in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is limited to after the foundation of the state of Israel in 1948, but the good reason is that indeed there can not be an Israeli Palestinian conflict without there being an Israel first. Debresser (talk) 21:52, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Debresser: but there was an "Israel" in the minds of the Zionists. From also day one there was a push to change the name of Palestine to Eretz Israel. Oncenawhile (talk) 23:02, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@OtterAM: I strongly feel that most people searching for "Israel Palestine Conflict" are looking for an overview of the whole conflict. What makes you think they are only looking to understand only a specific niche within the story starting 30 years after the wider conflict began and excluding the wider Arab conflict? The current situation is bizarre. Oncenawhile (talk) 23:02, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@WarKosign: can you please provide your views on the underlying question at hand here - when the "the wider conflict" (under whatever name you choose to call it) actually began? Oncenawhile (talk) 15:55, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Intercommunal conflict in Mandatory Palestine began in 1920, and there is an article dedicated to it. Arab–Israeli conflict originates in the late 19th century. There is no need to add another article to further confuse matters. “WarKosign ” 16:03, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@WarKosign: Our Arab–Israeli conflict states that it "refers to the political tension, military conflicts and disputes between a number of Arab countries and Israel" and that this conflict started in 1948. Its history section begins in 1948.

Which article do you interpret to be the "parent" article, relating to the overall conflict? Or do you believe there is no article relating to the overall conflict but don't consider that to be a problem?

Keep. Agree with above. A change to Australian Consulate-General, Houston would make the page more in line with notability guidelines.Siegfried Nugent (talk) 05:31, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really convinced by this argument. Let's say that we could prove that the job titled "Consul-General" for any given country in any given place was notable. That we have high quality sources talking about the job, the current holder and so on. I'm not sure it then follows that the previous holders of the job are therefore notable in the sense that we could assume that the list of the people who previously had that job were notable. That'd be like saying that CEO of Walmart is notable and therefore a page called "list of CEOs of Walmart" would be notable if it was renamed "CEO of Walmart". I'm sorry if that sounds silly, I'm struggling to process this or explain it. JMWt (talk) 11:04, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with JMWt, for what it's worth. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:41, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does sound silly. If the position of CEO of Walmart were notable, we would not delete an article because it contained a list that (let's assume) was inappropriate for some reason; we'd remove the list. Here by advocating for deletion on the grounds that there shouldn't be a list, you're effectively saying that there shouldn't be any article on the position regardless of whether the position is notable.

But we need not even get to that point because people don't need to be notable to be listed in an article on a broader topic, such as a notable position. As WP:N makes clear, notability guidelines do not restrict article content.

We also have here a "list" of one person, which makes the deletion positions all the more absurd; "sure, you can have an article on the position, but it's taboo to say who holds it!" postdlf (talk) 18:03, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that we have a few brief notices that a certain person has fulfilled the role/job of Consul-General, but I think that could be accommodated by having a page for the Consul-General, but as I mentioned above, I still am not convinced that even if that page existed, it would have to be more than just a list of present and past holders of the role. On that basis, I don't think there is sufficient information to write a useful page (beyond that which is already published online by the Australian government about their Consul-General) and I can't see that we have sources which show that the job-holders of Consul-General are always notable. In fact it appears that the role is only really noticeable when particular individuals are appointed to it. JMWt (talk) 11:11, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it too much to ask that people actually read the sources before voting? "A few brief notices that a certain person has fulfilled the role" might be what this editor might expect an article on a consul-general to have, but critically in no way describes the actual sources cited in this article. The Drover's Wife (talk) 11:40, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Source 1: Archive of the Australian gov website
Source 2: Press release about the opening of the consulate from Aus gov
Source 3: News article about the opening of the consulate
Source 4: News article about the opening of the consulate
Source 5: Archive of Australian gov website about appointees to the consulates
Source 6: News article about appointee Alastair Walton

Sources 1,2 and 3 are hardly independent secondary WP:RS. Source 3 is not about the incumbent, but is hardly a long and significant piece. Source 5 is a short section of a longer article about the incumbent. - wrong, see below

At best we have ~~two~~ three independent WP:RS, neither of which actually help determine whether or not the person who holds the office, or the office itself is noticeable. It is possible that the Consul-General is notable in his own right. It is possible that the job is notable. But this is pretty thin ground to show either. But either way, neither help much with the determination as to whether a list of the past holders of a minor diplomatic role are notable IMO. JMWt (talk) 12:41, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Funny that there are were more than five sources cited, and more than two of them from indisputably independent sources. As I said, this seems to be people making up their mind based on the subject and then getting creative about arguing around the sources to try to justify it. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, I made a mistake and have corrected the above list. Sources 3 and 4 are short and about the establishment of the consulate. Source 6 is about the incumbent. I don't think this makes a substantive difference: they're two short articles about the consulate and one about the incumbent, which is still not enough to show that a list of incumbents of the job are notable, even if the sources are used to show that the job itself is notable. JMWt (talk) 13:28, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So you can admit that the subject is notable, as long as it gets moved out of sync with all the other consul-general and ambassador articles because you dislike the name of the article. Helpful. The Drover's Wife (talk) 13:51, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

no, I do not believe the subject is notable as I do not believe that a small number of mentions meets the standards of the WP:GNG. It falls outside of the notability standards for ambassadors and for politicians. But even if the subject itself was notable (ie the position of C-G), that doesn't make this list notable. JMWt (talk) 14:00, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as still questionable for the needed notability improvements. SwisterTwister talk 04:55, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename official foreign embassies and consuls general are usually notable, and the holders of the office are sufficiently notable however, here, there is no article for the one holder so I would suggest a rename to: Australia General Consulate in Houston which seems the real topic of the article. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:23, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

official foreign embassies and consuls general are usually notable no. There is no inherent notability of embassies and even less so consuls. LibStar (talk) 22:39, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mint (newspaper)[edit]

The result was Speedy keep per WP:SKCRIT. This is evidently a waste of our time. Adding a "spam" tag in the article. I may myself edit it later. (non-admin closure) Cheers, Nairspecht Converse 06:14, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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

Deceptively well-sourced article with most sources (6 out of the total 12) its owned assets. The only other verifiable articles are the NY Times and Financial Express ones, which mention "Mint" only in passing. While I thought making small changes would be fine, on closer examination, the whole article is written with explicit promotional tones. Hence, delete. (Unsure if this satisfies WP:G11). Nairspecht Converse 13:09, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve. Not the best written article, but a national Indian daily business newspaper that was launched as a co-venture between The Wall Street Journal and the publisher of The Hindustan Times is almost certainly notable and the sort of thing that Wikipedia should cover. Here is coverage of the paper's 2007 launch in The International Herald-Tribune [19] and Advertising Age [20]. The article certainly needs improvement and updating, in particular to cover the 2014 termination of the WSJ involvement, covered for example in the Business Standard. [21] --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and improve. The sources provided by Arxiloxos allow this to meet GNG and WP:NME (yes, I know it's an essay; useful, though, in this context). The promotional language can be pruned out. The claim of readership also would suggest notability; the source is not independent, but the primary survey it is based on, is. Vanamonde93 (talk) 03:32, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural prod removal so bringing it to AfD. Concern was fails wp:gng and wp:author. Lacks WP:RS as well Gbawden (talk) 12:03, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'd just like to point out that the removal of BLPPROD tags doesn't affect normal PROD, so there was no reason to DEPROD this. Adam9007 (talk) 15:46, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam9007: I asked for advice at Editor Assistance. User JohnInDC was of the opinion that this was a case of BLPPROD as FB and twitter are not sources. He advised that "You are correct about the sourcing, but once the PROD is removed by any editor for any reason (I guess, short of vandalism) the PROD process is over and the article must be nominated for deletion at Articles for Deletion." Hence we are here Gbawden (talk) 11:33, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Gbawden: That only applies to normal PROD. It states explicitly here that deBLPPRODed articles can still be PRODded. Adam9007 (talk) 12:29, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

They can be subsequently PRODed, sure, but when the standard PROD is removed it can't be re-added. I don't know whether the BLP PROD here was properly added - or properly removed - but the standard PROD remains a one-shot deal. JohnInDC (talk) 19:39, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - All I see is the personality being short-listed for a literary award. While that is fine and does have considerable coverage across various good, independent sources, there is no talk about the short-listed book or about the author per se. Does not satisfy WP:GNG.

Just to be clear in case anybody's not sure, he's a an assistant coach in the NBA Development League rather than a player — but that's not an automatic notability freebie either, so it doesn't change anything as such (although it does mean you have to be careful not to misjudge him against the inclusion criteria for players). That said, the sourcing here is entirely to primary sources, with no indication of reliable source coverage about him shown, and nothing claimed in the article grants him a presumption of notability in the absence of enough sourcing to pass WP:GNG.

List of computer hardwares[edit]

Wikipedia is not a list; the purpose of this page would be best served as categories, or edits to the relevant articles. #!/bin/DokReggar -talk 06:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Per WP:CLN, Wikipedia contains lots of lists and this is fine. Andrew D. (talk) 06:52, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree, WP:DOAL explicitly mentions that (quoting) "Some topics […] are so broad that a list would be unmanageably long and effectively unmaintainable)". A list of all possible hardware elements one may include in a computer is bound to reach this status at some point. Why would the use of categories, such as Category:Computer storage devices, not be adequate to achieve this, since they are already implemented in the target articles? #!/bin/DokReggar -talk 07:26, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CLN lists advantages and disadvantages of both lists and categories and there is no clear preference. The key point there is WP:NOTDUPE which says quite explicitly: "Furthermore, arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." Andrew D. (talk) 19:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this topic is too broad, nor do I think it will become unmanageable because this article itself indicates there are a limited number of hardware items. And, it appears this list article is staying true to its topic by listing only hardware items and not going off in other directions. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:49, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The list is quite new and it's quite surprising that we don't seem to have anything of this sort already. But the list of computer components and peripherals is quite fundamental and familiar and so easily passes WP:LISTN -- see PC Hardware in a Nutshell for a source covering the common PC type of computer. It would be easy to improve per our editing policy. We just need to get this silly deletion discussion out of the way first. Andrew D. (talk) 19:32, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is what categories are for... and navigation templates; both of which already exist for this "topic". We don't need a third thing to get out of sync with the other three. List articles in general are an unfortunate fact of life on WP, as they add no encyclopedic information other than a list of names or terms. Jeh (talk) 23:50, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Then it would just be a list of dictionary entries. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Encyclopedic content would describe not just each term but when and who developed the items in question, the relationships of the various types of hardware to each other, the interlocking histories of their development (e.g. the progression of mass storage from magnetic tape through magnetic drums and disks to solid state drives, with the migration of mag tape from "live" mass storage to backup uses; the near-extinction of punched card input and the tremendous reduction in reliance on printed output brought about by display screens and keyboards; etc.). And then it would not have to be called "List of..." anything; it would be an actual article. Of course, that's a lot more work then just typing everything you find in the "Computer hardware" categories into yet another big damn list article. Jeh (talk) 04:59, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename List of computer hardware (or another name). At first I thought this would be a list of all products ever offered to sale to attach to a computer, but a list of the types of hardware is fine. I doubt this list will ever reach 100 entries as there are not a million computer architectures out there. It meets WP:CSC #1 (list with all elements standalone-notable).

The pageviews are irrelevant - I bet Viișoara, Glodeni (thank you, "random article" link) does not get many hits either, but it meets the guidelines so we should keep it. And "duplicate from category" is (see above) explicitly noted as an irrelevant argument.

Finally, while I disapprove throwing around wikispeak (and I am guily of doing it occasionally), Andrew D. made his point in plain English. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 12:57, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that page views are irrelevant for determining whether or not an article is acceptable on Wikipedia, whether the article is new or so many years old. Rather, the most important factor is WP:N notability, of which page views is not a part. Hence, as User:Andrew D has mentioned, this appears to pass muster with list article guidelines. And, not meaning to offend - this does matter - because we editors cannot accept, willy nilly, any kind of posted content. Otherwise, our discussions might be about liking or not liking this or that article, which would not be helpful. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 03:29, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Sandstein: Well, it's not now. I just removed the peripherals from the list. The list now only includes hardware. I'm not seeing how the list is indiscriminate as per WP:IINFO at this time. It has a well-defined scope and only has relevant entries now. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 01:13, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although I can see grounds for a list if the parts that make a computer system, this list doesn't cut it. For example, it has a "punched card" next to "solid state drive" and "Free and open-source graphics device driver" next to "graphics card (GPU)", "graphics hardware" and "graphics processing unit" which is just random grabs from 50 years of computer history. GPU means Graphics Processing Unit, creating double entries. My impression of this article in total is that it is written in chaos and not fixable other than starting with a clean slate. DeVerm (talk) 01:41, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@DeVerm: A punched card is a type of computer hardware, as verified in the following source: Encyclopedia of Library and Information Science. p. 277. It's an an alphabetical list, so sure, they're listed next to one-another. I removed the redundant GPU link in the article, which took one second to accomplish. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:39, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, a Punched card is not computer hardware but just a piece of paper from a time that character recognition by a computer was science fiction and they needed punch holes in specific locations which could then be detected by a punch card reader. This reader is the computer hardware; you can find it in musea. The punch card was equal to a computer print-out now, which is also about to become obsolete. DeVerm (talk) 15:11, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@DeVerm: That makes sense. I have changed the entry in the article to read "Punched card reader" (diff). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:36, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That does not help; if editing at all, you should remove it because the card reader is already on the list as the first item. The article linked explicitly includes punch card reader. Creating pages is not a matter of throwing edits at it until it, by chance, is a hit. It requires much more in-depth study of the scope as well as each item listed. I still recommend to start over because the list is hardly improving, if at all. DeVerm (talk) 15:52, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All right, I removed punch card reader. That was easy. As I stated above, I wouldn't mind adding descriptions, but if this is to be deleted, that would be a waste of time. Hopefully the article will be retained, so the work I have already performed to improve it can continue. At this point, I guess I'll wait until the AfD discussion is closed before potentially proceeding with any more edits to the article. Of course, the time you spent here discussing the matter is far greater than it would have taken to simply perform the edits you suggested to improve the article. However, you want it deleted, and WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:13, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article appears to be a definite benefit for the general reader, in particular as a useful index. Also, per WP:NOTDUP, "Overlapping categories, lists and navigation templates" are not perceived as duplication on Wikipedia. Furthermore, "it is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." Hence, saying that we have categories that cover such lists seems to be a weak argument. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 02:42, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  As defined earlier, computer hardware includes all the physical components of a computer system that can be seen and touched, including the keyboard and mouse (input devices), the CPU and memory (processing devices), display monitors and printers (output devices), the hard disk and RAM (storage device), as well as DVDs, CDs, flash memory cards, etc. (storage media).
  Printer and USB cables, modems, and network interface cards (NIC) are other examples of computer hardware. Some hardware, such as a keyboard or a mouse, can be seen on the outside of a computer. Other hardware, such as RAM, an internal hard disk, and the NIC, can be seen only after opening the system unit. Peripheral devices are attached to the computer system in order to perform a variety of tasks. All the hardware devices listed above are also peripheral devices.

Delete a hopelessly broad compendium disguised as a list - one that can never approach encyclopedic quality. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 18:24, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The point of the creation of this article appears to be providing a user-friendly guideline of items that a computer is likely to have and how it all functions together. And it isn't that helpful since, first, it doesn't explain in layman's terms what each thing does and, second, we already have pages like the main article 'Computer' and the related 'Computer hardware'. What's the difference between this and, say, having: 'Guideline of the Systems in Your Car', 'Guideline of the Organs that are in Your Body', 'Guideline of the Branches in Your U.S. Federal Government', 'Guideline to the Planets in Your Solar System', etc? All of those can indeed be sourced easily, as this article here is, but why have them all? I would expect each of those things in downloadable pamphlets on college websites related to Astronomy 101 classes and so on instead. Wikipedia as an encyclopedia isn't quite the same thing as a friendly 'how to get this' exploratory text.

And, if we have to have a guideline to how a computer exactly works major part by major part, then... let's have a guideline to how a computer exactly works major part by major part. Add huge sections of prose to this list coupled with step-by-step illustrated instructions, maybe with a fellow taking pictures of him using a screwdriver and pointing out the specific connections here and there. Put in a bunch more links. Add a bunch more citations. And give this page a much better name, maybe 'Explanation of computer hardware functioning' say. But I'd rather this just be deleted. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 16:21, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Huh, no, that list is not a mistitle for "Hardware interaction in the computer". It is just like a table of contents; its only point for readers is to click on the blue links. If your point is that a navigational-only page is useless and should be deleted just for this reason, that is pretty much against any of the list guidelines. And for the record, there is List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System, and, more to the point since this one is a list of bluelinks with no content, List of organs of the human body.

For the n-th time, WP:NOTDUP. While it may be that the topic is not suitable for an article, "a category is enough" is not a valid argument. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 11:10, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NOTDUP is from a page (read the box at the top) that's id'd as an "editing guideline", not policy. And I happen to think that a category and a navbox are enough. That's my argument and I'm sticking to it. Jeh (talk) 12:16, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a major problem for some editors who can't actually think independently and who simply attempt to render argument by reference to some essay or guideline. Arguments such as "a category is enough" are indeed perfectly valid arguments. That someone believes we need this information in three distinct formats is beyond me. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:32, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Because the mainspace article format is the most beneficial for the general reader - our customer. Most people (our customers) come to Wikipedia only to read the articles, not to derive or discern information from categories. Also, the general reader (or lay reader) does not peruse categories, they seek out information from mainspace articles. Categories are a function of our editing, and are used for our editing. Hence, these are two different activities; one for the benefit of the lay reader and one for the benefit of editors (like us). --- Steve Quinn (talk)

Accepted, but a dumb list like this (which is basically a navigation aid) is no different at all to a category or a navbox. It's actually pretty hopeless. If it approached something like Glossary of association football terms then I could understand its utility, right now it's utterly pointless. And you make an interesting (and unfounded, or at least unverifiable) claim that categories are not used by the reader. Can you prove that or are you just making it up? The Rambling Man (talk) 17:03, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[26] says the category is hit a lot less though the factor is "only" of ten. It can reasonably be assumed to show that the cat page is hit less by readers (though it could be that WP editors hammered the list page even when readers prefer to use the category). I took "cats" because that is one of the default examples for the pageview tools page, could be different for other lists though. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 17:23, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is an editing guideline "best treated with common sense and exceptions may apply", so what? Everything is subject to WP:IAR, too, but it does not mean everything is an exception to all guidelines. I have seen plenty of cases where a guideline was not followed for the greater good of WP, but if you are going to say an editing guideline such as NOTDUP should be ignored in a particular case, you better had to say why that one case warrants it ("it is beyond me" is not enough), and Ajf773 did not do that above. If you want the guideline to be ignored all the time, go ask for it to be removed at WP:VPP or wherever. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 17:29, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It seems you can't see the wood for the trees. That's fine, and you've made your point, just as many others have adequately refuted it. This list provides nothing, absolutely nothing. It might as well be "Words beginning with A". The Rambling Man (talk) 20:07, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At the risk of being redundant, the article can easily be expanded with descriptions and other additional content. I considered doing so, but it would be pointless if the article is to then later be deleted. See also: WP:NOEFFORT. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:42, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well a referenced glossary of terms would have been unlikely to have been nominated. Just saying. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I added the sources, etc. after this was nominated. In addition to qualifying for an article per WP:NOTDUP, the topic also passes WP:LISTN, having been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 20:45, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as it passes WP:STAND, but expand to include basic information about each listed item, which would make it much more useful to anyone who comes across it (see List of vegetable oils, a featured list, for a good example of this being done in an acceptable manner). I would also suggest (if consensus dictates that this list fails the inclusion criteria) merging into computer hardware, with each item on the list becoming a section of the article, which already includes most of the items on the list as is. My only major concern is that this list is WP:REDUNDANT to computer hardware, though this is unlikely, since "categories, lists, and navboxes that contain the same elements are typically allowed".

List of role-playing game software[edit]

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

This isn't an AfD I file lightly; I don't think the subject is inherently non-notable, or unsuitable for a list. But. The list as it stands is pathetically scanty, mentions nothing released in the last 13 years (and the only two references date from 2005 and 1986 respectively), and is obviously unmaintained. Since there have been quite literally hundreds of such software packages -- heck, I've got several dozen online ones bookmarked -- and they come and go rapidly, this might just be an unmaintainable list. Ultimately, I think WP:TNT applies, although I wouldn't object if a few editors with a great deal of time on their hands proved me wrong in the next week. Ravenswing 20:28, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Searching for the term provided nothing of this sort. There were "virtual tabletops" but no "assist software" like in our article. At the very least it needs a rename, but I'd see a better fit for this being merged to some related article. The main one for tabletop doesn't quite fit. But that article needs a heavy redo in any case. At this point in time WP:TNT probably applies to our article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 20:54, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – A functional article that qualifies per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Role-playing game software. Also qualifies as a navigational aid per WP:LISTPURP.

Keep – Under the assumption that the articles in the list are notable, the list represents a coherent and sensible concept composed of notable items, hence I think it should be kept. (Now, if you succeeded in AFDing most of the items on the list – I'm not suggesting you should, but just suppose you tried that and succeeded – then I'd say the list should go if it only had a couple or zero notable items in it.)

Quentin Wiltz[edit]

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

Poorly sourced WP:BLP, with some advertorial leanings, of a person notable only as a non-winning candidate for election to a city council — which is not a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia in and of itself. While it's claimed that his election race was "historic" because it went into a runoff with two minority candidates, that's not the basis for standalone WP:BLPs of the competitors — at best, its historicity might merit one or two sentences in Pearland, Texas. Pearland isn't a large enough city to make Derrick Reed, the guy who won the seat, notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia just for being a city councillor — and by definition, as an actual officeholder Reed is more notable than Wiltz would be as a losing candidate. Nothing here is a valid notability claim, and the sourcing isn't solid enough to pass WP:GNG. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 02:09, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP, based entirely on primary sources with not a shred of reliable source coverage shown, of a person whose only potentially valid Wikipedia notability claim is as a producer of low-budget independent horror films. Being a film producer does not entitle a person to an automatic "no sourcing required" inclusion freebie, but the level of reliable source coverage needed to get him in the door is not locatable.

Redirect to LPMud (with no deletion) where it is mentioned. The game has an entry in the book Internet Virtual Worlds Quick Tour, that looks like an RS and it is listed in many of the main MUD directories, e.g., the MUDStats entry. This is an old enough game that I could believe that there are other paper sources out there not yet indexed by Google. Hence, basic information is verifiable, but it doesn't quite make it to the notability threshold. Redirecting to the more general article seems the best alternative at the moment, per WP:ATD, with keeping the article history for future source material per WP:PRESERVE. There is nothing harmful in the prose and thus no reason to delete the article history. --Mark viking (talk) 22:49, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Mark viking, "please keep the ordering of this list as: Genesis LPMud first, other MUDs alphabetized; do not add MUDs that do not have articles about them, they will be removed" This is the direct quote of the comment that precedes that list of games at LPMud. I don't see why we would use it as a redirect target. czar 16:56, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping a particular ordering sounds fine to me, but asserting that notability is required just to be mentioned in an article has no basis in policy; verifiability is all that is required. It was an assertion that Chaos5023 put in the article about 5 years ago, but there was no discussion about it on the talk page. I have thus removed the notability recommendation from the comment. I will note that WP:PRESERVE is a policy, and a redirect of this topic to a mention in a more general article is in perfect harmony with that policy. Deleting verifiable material because it fails a mere notability guideline, as you propose here, is in violation of WP:PRESERVE. --Mark viking (talk) 18:34, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Putting aside the vague waves to capital letters, that section is about improving articles and the closest it gets to agreeing with your suggestion is in merging content where it can be useful. But we're not talking about merging useful content—we're talking about incidental redirects. Is the plan to make a list of every LPMud that has ever been mentioned in a source of any reliability? Didn't we just do the opposite in another AfD? I think that was the point of Chaos's comment five years ago (which, regardless how you feel is warranted today, had five years of consensus through editing, if not explicit talk page consensus). czar 18:45, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ferdinand Larose[edit]

Biography, which goes only about a millimetre further than "Topic is a person who existed, the end", of an agronomist whose only claim of notability is that he planted a small forest of exclusively local significance. Three of the four "sources" here are primary ones -- a press release from the forest's own management committee, the website of the county in which the forest is located and the website of the local conservation board -- and the only one that represents actual media coverage in a reliable source just namechecks his existence a single time in the process of failing to be about him. Neither the claim of notability, nor the quality of sourcing provided to support it, are enough to warrant permanent coverage in an international encyclopedia. Delete.

For the record, "local is part of global" has nothing to do with anything for our purposes. We don't aspire to be a complete directory of everybody who ever existed at all — people of purely local notability (e.g. school trustees or restaurateurs or local shopkeepers) don't qualify for Wikipedia articles just because they can technically be referenced to local media, if that coverage doesn't demonstrate a reason why their notability and potential readership extends beyond the purely local. This article has seen improvement, and thus now does a better job of demonstrating that his notability does extend beyond the purely local, so I'm withdrawing this nomination accordingly — but the minimum standard that a topic normally has to meet to merit inclusion in Wikipedia is that their notability is more than purely local. Bearcat (talk) 15:16, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, historian John Bacher, university of Toronto, is a good secondary source (in several publications), who in short defines his significance for french-speaking Ontario-east where he was the first french-speaking governmental agronomist. In the WP-article, it has to be added the connexion between Edmund Zavitz, the OKA university (where he was the first french-speeking agronomist getting his agronomist diplome), the 1921 reforestation act of 1921, which coincides with the first reforestation experiments of Larose, the forestry act of 1927, which brought him to push the united counties to buy enough desert land to fall unter that forestry law ; the [tours he organised in the 30's to convince politicians to invest in better reforestation. And also, his struggle for introducing better seeds and plants to raise yields, his struggle for introducing teaching in french , as well as his involvment in organising farmers in the Union des cultivateurs franco-ontariens, 1929.

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a local school board trustee and an unsuccessful candidate for the local fire department board -- neither of which is a claim of notability that gets a person into Wikipedia per WP:NPOL. At this level of purely localized office, the media coverage of the officeholder has to nationalize before they can claim to have passed WP:GNG as an alternative path to inclusion -- but the coverage here is exclusively local, and thus demonstrates no reason why an international encyclopedia should concern itself.

Comment: I'm not finding anything in GNG requiring national coverage, and I've never before encountered such a criterion raised in a deletion discussion. Care to fill me in? Rebb ing 04:02, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Purely local figures, such as school board trustees, are not eligible for Wikipedia articles on the basis of purely local coverage — they have to be demonstrated as significantly more notable than the norm, by virtue of getting unusual levels of coverage well beyond the ordinary level of local coverage that any school board trustee can always expect to get in the local media. Bearcat (talk) 06:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So you're saying that coverage must be spread over a relatively large geographic area to qualify as "significant" under GNG? I don't see this in our guidelines anywhere. Routine coverage is already disregarded under ROUTINE regardless of territorial distribution. I see no need to read a "national coverage" criterion into the notability guideline, and I am somewhat concerned about the systemic bias such a requirement might introduce. Rebb ing ~~07:02~~ 07:07, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In my experience, it's become necessary to avoid invoking WP:ROUTINE when discussing local media coverage of a purely local interest figure, like a school trustee or a small-town city councillor — while I am personally among the many editors who hold that it does apply, there are other editors who insist that ROUTINE only deprecates things like birth and death and wedding announcements in the classifieds, and/or "this weekend's events" calendar listings. The principle is the same either way — if the political role that the person holds is of exclusively local notability and doesn't automatically pass NPOL in and of itself, then the media coverage has to demonstrate a substantive reason why the person could be seen as more notable than the hundreds of thousands of other people who hold comparable roles and generate comparable levels of local coverage — but applying ROUTINE to any coverage that exists in the news section of any newspaper tends to generate a lot of pointless circular debate about whether it applies or not, thus causing the discussion to stray off topic. Bearcat (talk) 14:53, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your explanation. I see your point about ROUTINE's scope being controversial. Looking at this again, I think it ought to come down to GNG. The sort of news coverage local politicians receive typically runs something like this:

X Running for Mayor;
Meet X, a Local Bookstore Owner (four sentences and a few words about local issues);
X Wins Race;
X Performed Routine Executive/legislative Action Y;
X Runs for Re-election...

Such coverage is frequent but trivial, and I think it can be said to fail GNG's "significant coverage" prong without invoking ROUTINE or considering local versus national attention. On the other hand, I would likely consider to be notable a local politician who actually received significant and independent yet entirely local coverage. (For comparison, despite receiving regular media attention, I doubt any of my mid-size city's politiicans have had coverage sufficient for GNG.)

Thanks for humoring me; I'm relatively new to AfD, so I lack the wisdom that only experience brings. Rebb ing 17:22, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I think the coverage is sufficient and need not be national or even heavily regional; (I don't like to see WP:ROUTINE raised in these cases) but here, we have a relatively minor local officeholder with insufficient special notability and that is why I think not adequate. Feels like a vanity piece. Montanabw ^(talk) 18:46, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There is obviously nothing inherently notable about local officials in a county of 250,000 (or in general, for that matter). The school district that Weber represented is one of ten in the county. She would have to be a particularly remarkable or interesting school board president for her to meet Wikipedia's notability standards, and I don't see any coverage in the sources provided that goes above and beyond what you would expect of someone in her position.

Julie McAnulty[edit]

WP:BLP of a politician notable only as a local authority councillor. The only other thing we've got here is that she was an unsuccessful candidate for her party's nomination for the Holyrood election last week, but being an unsuccessful candidate in a nomination contest or primary does not normally augment a person's notability at all — and the only thing that might lift her very slightly above the normal non-notability of unsuccessful nomination candidates, the fact that there was some controversy around the nomination contest she lost, simultaneously fails WP:BLP1E.

Delete. As per the nom, local councillors aren't inherently notable. The media coverage McAnulty has received seems to me to be related to only a single event ("event" being loosely construed), so I think WP:BLP1E applies: "We should generally avoid having an article on a person […] if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event […and…] that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual […and…] the event is not significant".

Does not appear to be a notable academic. Merely teaching, let alone on an honorary basis, at notable schools is not necessarily a claim to notability. A search for reliable sources results only in brief mentions. However, the article claims that he was once Vice President of the Leibniz Association and has been inducted in to the "Hall of Fame of Adult Education". I have no idea how prestigious either is, but it's possible that he could pass criterion #3 and maybe criterion #6 of WP:PROF, and I'll happily withdraw this nomination if it is shown that his position at the Leibniz Association is enough to pass criterion #3.

Delete Quoting h index as an absolute number without taking into consideration the field is meaningless. Almost as meaningless is using h index without considering the actual distribution of citations. 18 papers with 18 citations each give h=18, and so does 17 papers with 200 citations each and 1 with 18. The second is notable in essentially any field, the other usually not. In this case, the more highly cited works are mere reports, not peer-reviewed publications.,and so the citation figure doesn't matter at all--no academic becomes notable by such publications. In general I agree with the nominator: the positions are not intrinsically notable, nor likely to have references showing notability. A honorary doctorate from a major university is notable .West University of Timișoara is not in that category. "honorary professor: as used in the article means merely visiting professor.

Fairford Electronics Ltd[edit]

Nearly A7 material if it wasn't for "Fairford became the first company in the world to design and produce a fully digital three phase Motor Controller with automatic Energy Optimising"; my searches have found nothing convincingly better and the current article is still questionable for notability.

Seven years ago this was kept, with, sigh, the prevailing argument being "it appears in several anime series" so WP:ITSIMPORTANT. Let's see me be clear: this is not a valid argument.

Delete as even with Dow Jones, this is still questionable and my searches have found nothing solidly better convincing and that's not surprising considering the company was founded about 5 years ago or so. SwisterTwister talk 07:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I understand why you think it is questionable and I don't want to just compare it to other similar, less sourced, yet not considered for deletion articles. The company has been mentioned in numerous articles and blogs such as Small Business Trends, Capterra, Docurated and another TechCrunch article to name a few. I will however refer to DGG and your more experienced judgement since you seem to focus a lot more on articles for deletion that I do. For the record I have never worked for the company. I was only trying to document a small UK based company who seem to be constantly tweaking and improving themselves if you read their blog. ~ Ablaze (talk) 10:07, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Even considering the apparently new improvements, the article is still not solidly convincing and because it's still a somewhat newly started company, it's also unlikely there's anything else better. SwisterTwister talk 23:44, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:GNG and fails WP:CORPDEPTH. The current references in the article are all WP:SPS. I couldn't find anything better on searching online either.

Japanese video game programmer. Of three refs in article, two are for interviews and one (deleted) was a wiki-type page. Further research turns up maybe one decent ref, but not enough to establish the independent in-depth coverage needed for notability. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 05:16, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see what's wong with the interviews. Interviews are the best information sources, you know. Anyway, the are articles with less information and references and still you keep them (for example: Mari Asato) DaftRose (talk) 18:08, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is not any prohibition from using info from an interview DaftRose. This article subject is notable, and has references which offer significant coverage in WP:RS reliable sources. thereby passing WP:GNG. Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant (talk) 18:38, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Fouetté rond de jambe en tournant, you are correct that there is no prohibition, but the supplement to WP:Verifiability says to treat them as primary rather than secondary sources.

Delete: My searches turned up one newspaper piece about the firm, which I have added as a reference, but that was local coverage. Other than that, I am seeing only PR-based announcements, though in substantial quantity. The firm and its products do seem to have a fair number of international outlets, which saved the article from speedy-deletion at outset, but I am seeing nothing to meet WP:CORPDEPTH or WP:GNG. (If this article does survive AfD, it is questionable whether its Potential Lawsuit section should remain, unless there is evidence that it became a reality.)

Delete Apart from the one local coverage, I found a trivial mention in NYtimes where it says The leading makers of these decks are Trex and TimberTech,. However, there are no other reliable sources which I can use for significant coverage about this company.
