Child actress that only gets the most passing mentions in the usual places (e.g. Variety, THR, EW, Deadline, LA Times) – she receives no in-depth coverage that I can see. Certainly fails WP:GNG, and likely fails WP:NACTOR. At best, a clear case of WP:TOOSOON. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:18, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • [sigh...] Did you read the nominating statement?! – I checked the usual places for RS before bringing this here, and all there were were "passing mentions", at best.

  • Delete: aside from the fact that the sole reference is IMDb, she is a very young child actress whose career consists of recurring roles on two consecutive relatively little-known TV series beginning 2014 (per IMDb) and one credit a year earlier. Way TOO SOON. This article has stage mother written all over it. Quis separabit? 20:11, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: A TV show on the Disney channel is a pretty big deal for a child actor. While I agree that the username of the article's primary editor does raise a COI concern, we need to assess the article itself on its merits. Montanabw(talk) 18:10, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Given what comes up from a Google News search alone, the sources exist for an article with this title. But this isn't the article--the unsourced and promotional content can be deleted, and a fresh start needs to be made. There's no good original version to return to [1]. As such, this almost appears to qualify for speedy deletion as promotional from the beginning, more than a decade ago. 2601:188:0:ABE6:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 14:16, 9 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • The nominator may well be right about the COI, but we see content from a range of editors over many years -- some of it just driven by hometown boosterism. A lot of work has gone into this. And while there's a lot of unreferenced and possibly content, as noted, I'm sympathetic to the notion that Kansas City is or was an important culture center. I've added it to Category:Cinema by city. My inclination would be to WP:PRESERVE and tag for improvement -- or just improve, now. There's too much encyclopedic content to go in the Film Community section of the city's article. Despite whatever faults, editors have worked on this since 2005 to get it to where it is a well-written, if not well-referenced, article. I believe its deletion would be a net loss. Finally, let me point out to the nominator that COI and tone issues are not in themselves reasons to delete, per WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Keep and preferably rename to Cinema of Kansas City.

  • Selective merge to Kansas City metropolitan area. The content is promotional and mostly unsourced, but I could probably source some of it, then move it to the main article, where it belongs. What makes Kansas City so special that its film industry should get an independent article full of unsourced promotion? If we were talking about New York or Vancouver, then I could at least understand the argument that it should have its own independent article. But if a dozen films get shot in some random city, does it automatically qualify for its own "Film in X" or "Cinema of X" article? I don't think it should, at least until these topics overwhelm the main article with sourced content. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:58, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep The article itself is terrible, but the bones are there and even just based on a quick search I'd say the subject appears to be notable enough for a standalone article. With proper sourcing and a rewrite, this should be fine. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ 15:26, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With the Portuguese Wiki containing nothing better and this article also, my searches have found nothing better than these Books links and therefore still questionable for WP:POLITICIAN and WP:GNG (with Tibagi not seeming convincing for its mayor to be WP:POLITICIAN and certainly nothing merge-material).

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Brazil-related deletion discussions. SwisterTwister talk 05:01, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now The article suggests some notability. It seems he was some sort of regional judge. It also seems he was involved in the creation of the Flag of Brazil. We need people fluent in Portuguese to conduct further searches. He was the founding Mayor of an area, the precedent seems to be a keep per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Walter Christie AusLondonder (talk) 08:23, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • That precedent would be relevant if it could be shown that Mercer had an editorial obituary (not a family-written death notice) in a major national/regional newspaper of the stature of The New York Times, but we have no evidence of that. Walter Christie was kept on the basis of available sources, not because he helped found a town with a current population of about 20,000. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 16:23, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I note that Tibagi has a current population of about 20,000, so being mayor wouldn't be enough on its own to pass WP:POLITICIAN. I'm not quite sure that I understand the bit in the article about the flag of Brazil - if he really did design it then maybe he is notable. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 14:10, 21 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Absolutely nothing is verified. In particular, the claim that he was involved in the creation of the flag of the Republic of Brazil is contradicted by our article Flag of Brazil. --MelanieN (talk) 21:27, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree that the article in its current state is very poor, but the subject seems to be notable to me. He is one of the founding settlers in the town of Tibagi and the name Mercer is all over the place in the region: including the name of the historical museum in town, a major road (named specifically for him), and the current mayor. The article should be cleaned up and verified, but kept. giso6150 (talk) 13:44, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • (after edit conflict with Fosse8 below) Do you have any reliable sources to support that? I note that the Portuguese Wikipedia article on Tibagi has a pretty extensive history section but makes no mention of Herbert Harrison Mercer, and that the museum is named after Edmundo Mercer Jr., not Herbert. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No verification, no sources suggesting notability, and the bit about the flag is a wonky translation of the original Portuguese - he didn't design the flag of Brazil, he *made* a Brazil flag for the festivities. Unless someone can find good sources explaining why this obscure 19th Century Brazilian regional functionary should have an article, I'd say get rid of this. ✤ Fosse 8 ✤ 15:15, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for clearing up the flag issue. Notability looks less likely now. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:22, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep' He is certainly listed as Mayor in the História de Tibagi, published by the city/town of Tibagi, Prefeitura Municipal de Tibagi, in 1934, p. 151. Only part of the section is visible to me online. He has a page in Wikipedia in Portuguese. There is a Herbert Mercer Street in Tibagi, map [2]. Tibagi is a tourism destination (rafting, hiking) and I presume that there is some tourist interest in the Anglo origins of the town founders. I think keep and hope for further sourcing, at per WP:PRESERVE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:07, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The only thing that is reliably sourced is that Mercer was a mayor of a small town, way below the size needed to pass WP:POLITICIAN on that count, and I can't find any reliable sources that say any more than that. I don't know where the idea comes from that he was one of the founders of Tibagi, because the article clearly states that it had already become a forum town (I guess that something has been lost in translation here and "market town" is meant, but, anyway, it was a town) before he settled there, and that he became the twelfth mayor, not the first. It is quite normal for streets to be named after local dignitories, so that doesn't create notability, and I'm sure that it was also perfectly normal for European immigrants to become mayors in 19th century South America.86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:38, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Poorly sourced, no better sources seem to exist - there is a brief mention on a Tibagi site of his role (along with several other people) when the Republic was proclaimed, but other Google results appear to be either blogs, or Wiki scrapes, or to relate to his descendants. No sign of notability. Narky Blert (talk) 12:00, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete bad copy-paste job from http://bigidea.wikia.com/wiki/Where's_God_When_I'm_S-Scared%3F. They are CC-BY-SA so it may not be a copyright violation after I listed them as the only reference but this is not suited as a Wikipedia article. The real episode title Where's God When I'm S-Scared? already redirects to List of VeggieTales videos#Where's God When I'm S-Scared? (1993). Where's S-Scared? would be an implausible redirect.

  • Delete - Nothing to indicate stand-alone notability; highly unlikely re-direct. - SummerPhDv2.0 14:18, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The article has since been renamed "Where's God When I S-Scared?" and now "Where's God When I S-Scared?". The correct title, "Where's God When I S-Scared?", was |redirected to List of VeggieTales videos after discussion at Talk:List of VeggieTales Videos. For some reason that I can't quite figure out, the "Talk" link at List of VeggieTales videos goes to the talk page for the article we are discussing here. I think it has something to do with the italics in the title. - SummerPhDv2.0 20:14, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:List of VeggieTales videos was a redirect as a result of confusing page moves. It is now a real talk page again. It was unrelated to the italics which are made by DISPLAYTITLE without affecting the real page name. The talk page could also get a DISPLAYTITLE to make italics but this is independent of the article and we usually don't do it for talk pages. PrimeHunter (talk) 10:45, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. I think these points are worth noting:.--Coin945 (talk) 09:01, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  1. There are currently 10 references being used, and two external links, all third party and reliable - this to me establishes notability.
  2. One of the external links (What's the call on CALL? - St. Andrew's University) mentions the phrase "Jenny's Journeys" 10 times, and discusses it quite extensively.
  3. Many of the 12 reference/external links in the article could only be accessed via a "snippet view", which means i could only get a fraction of the juicy into those particular sources contained.
  4. The game is from 1984, which in video gaming's case means even if sources exist it is very hard to easily locate them due to the lack of preservation of gaming journalism from the 70s-00s online. (Even the WaybackMachine can only do so much). So a lack of current sources doesn't equal a lack of potential sources.
  • Comment - Is there anywhere to redirect/merge? Or maybe send it to draftspace? Sources may be there, but its extremely poorly written, contain little content and no flow between ideas. It doesn't really look like its ready for public viewing... Sergecross73 msg me 19:05, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Send to draftspace. "Books.google.com.au" is not a publisher and MobyGames is not reliable. Send the article through AfC when it's cleaned up. Re: snippet view—burden is on the adding editor to prove that the ref goes into any detail so if snippet view is all you have, there's no proof there's anything more at the source. czar 18:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Even though the information in certain book sources can't be seen in the "snippet" views, the information can clearly be seen in the "GoogleBooks search page. So it can be proved that the info is really there. TBH I don't think this article is that bad. It has all the relevant sections, no copyvio, written adequately. If taken to draftspace, chances are that will be its permanent purgatory. Whereas here, it can flourish in the Wikipedia ecosystem of collective important and support. It's already been edited by 10 users and as a result is already a huge improvement over that first edit.--Coin945 (talk) 02:58, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That a mention exists, in no way demonstrates "significant coverage" to satisfy GNG. Toddst1 (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion, the game actually receives more than just a mention in many of the sources. The only problem is that my view is restricted to the snippet. I would infer from what I *can* see in the GoogleBooks Search preview that the game is discussed in detail and not just fleetingly referred to. However, it is ultimately the decision of the commentators on this page, and I 100% trust their decision.--15:57, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

  • Delete basically per nom: the only thing I can find that looks at all like coverage in a third party reliable source is this, which doesn't look very significant to me. Many of the citations in the article are to Facebook, political campaigning websites or to news articles that don't mention the subject of the article, these won't help for establishing notability.

Non-notable person. Primary claim to notability is the intention to buy a couple of football clubs, but no actual purchase appears to have happened, so there is no notability from ownership of those clubs. Second claim towards notability is chairmanship of non-notable gambling site. Contested proposed deletion.

There seems to be some attempts by the original author to inflate the notability/link depth of the subject by creating other articles with questionable notability:

I was willing to consider whether his intention to buy the football club might have conferred some notability (via media reports), but the article doesn't tell us anything about it. More to the point, the article on the football club doesn't mention the subject at all, so I'm assuming that any publicity that was generated was short-lived.

Football club that fails the accepted notability criteria of English clubs (having played in the FA Cup, FA Trophy or FA Vase, or at level 10 or above). Prod was removed without explanation and the false claim that the club has played in the FA Vase added afterwards, presumably to try and prevent deletion (see the 1982–83 FA Vase results – supposedly the season in which the club reached the first round – here. Number 57 20:51, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The FA Vase result is clearly one that can be attributed to one of the teams that amalgamated to form this club in 1996 making this club non notable Seasider91 (talk) 22:14, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Seasider91: It's not even that – the current club was formed by a merger of Longridge United and Longridge St. Wilfred’s, but neither of those clubs played in the FA Vase either. It's completely fictitious as far as I can see. Number 57 07:40, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have included the Sabaic spelling in musnad writings but that "Weller" has ordered the page to be deleted !!!!! he is always arguing about english sources meanwhile he doesn't even create a single page about the related topics, so how can he understand what we are talking about?!

I would ask for a compromise if there is no problem, I would agree a change in spellings if I am going to be contacted by a decent historian admin whom I can discuss with him ... any changes, edits or further interference from that one who is called User:Doug Weller in my articles will not be accepted and will be considered as tyranny in a freely editing environment. As you know that I can make millions of accounts so it is not wise to be hostile against somebody who wrote history articles without offending anyone ..

Your claim at Talk:Karab El Watar that the fact that all the reliable sources have the spelling Karib'il Watar shows that they are all wrong is ample evidence that you are happy to ignore our policy on naming, and your threat to create sockpuppet accounts strongly suggests that you aren't hear for the good of the encyclopedia.

  • Delete I went to the article on the same subject on Arabic Wikipedia and found a citation for an English language source, ironically enough. There are three mentions of inscriptions bearing the name "Wahab" mentioned in a source published by Johns Hopkins Uni Press: one of which is for the subject of this article in passing; one of which is for a completely different individual (Wahab'awwam), also mentioned only in passing; and one of which is a translation of a damaged inscription and the last name and thus identity of which is indecipherable. There do not appear to be any mentions of this person in any original Arabic sources, and Arabic is the closest language to Himyarite, which is dead. I suspect that this person was a real guy...who is mentioned in one line of an inscription in one of those "whom beget whom" passages. Hardcore fail of notability.

This article contains two references, one of which is to a vanity press, and both of which seem of dubious reliability. No citations are provided for any of the (short) text to these references. Most of the online subject matter using this title regards gay erotica, fiction of the event, or is fork or mirror. There is also Metaphorical Representations of the French Revolution in Victorian Fiction from JSTOR, which suggests the term was created as a metaphor about enemies (I can't access the text, but the Google Scholar snippet view gives this impression.)

-I absolutely agree it's low-quality. Given contemporary references to some of these events - Alexandre Tautey's 1880s edition of Journal d'un bourgeois de Paris, written by a 15th-century cleric (see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_d%27un_bourgeois_de_Paris) - I do wonder if further research would be beneficial, or if the article should simply note that while this has been written about extensively - by, for example, Mark Twain - there's little primary proof. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.18.18.27 (talk) 19:28, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This relies way too much on Lulu.com and Edwin Mellen Press, neither of which is reliable. The Simon-Schuster book, Of Wolves and Men looks to be a literary analysis of wolf stories. Barry Lopez mentions the story of Courtaud but doesn't seem to definitively state if it's fact or fiction. Not unlike Beast of Gévaudan, I think this story conflates details of actual wolf attacks thereby assembling a tale. Were the article written per WP:WAF it could be passable but using questionable sources that assert it's true, I have to say no. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This orphaned article was created by an SPA, who likely had a COI in creating it. The only source used in the article never appears to have been valid, but took until 2 years ago before it was noticed that it was dead.

A non-notable intersection, entirely unsourced. An unsourced assertion is made that "naturally" chess appeals to mathematicians. Some of the people listed are noted mathematicians who happened to play a bit of chess, others are noted chess players who happened to study mathematics at university.

  • Keep Passes WP:LISTN. For example, see BBC and New York Times. Andrew D. (talk) 00:00, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Even allowing for this the article needs a lot of work to bring it up to wikipedia standard, and I don't mean just adding a few names. There is simply no comparison between Anthony Santasiere, a minor chess master who taught high school mathematics for his day job, and Abraham de Moivre, the great 18th century mathematician who may or may not have played a bit of chess in his spare time (no source is given of course). To me the article doesn't look worth saving. MaxBrowne (talk) 05:58, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To avoid problems of this type, I'd like to see this restricted to people who made notable contributions to both chess and mathematics. This is definitely a non-empty set — it includes for instance Elkies and Smullyan — but is it large enough for an actual list? —David Eppstein (talk) 06:16, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Not many people would meet wikipedia's notability criteria in both chess and any other field. Elkies wouldn't qualify for an article on the basis of his chess achievements - he's one of about 1000 National Masters in the US, and the World Chess Solving Championship doesn't get a lot of attention from chess news media, let alone from mainstream media. Off hand, I can think of very few people who meet wikipedia's notability criteria for both chess and one other field, and none of them are mathematicians - there's Kenneth Rogoff (economist), Mark Taimanov (pianist), Miguel Farré (also a pianist) and Stuart Milner-Barry (codebreaker). MaxBrowne (talk) 09:52, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Re Elkies, NM is not enough for chess notability of course but I was actually referring to his contributions to chess problems and his problem solving championship. And for Smullyan, his chess notability comes from his popularization of retrograde analysis through writing two books on the subject. I don't think we should require that the subject be independently notable in both categories, but they should have some sort of claim of significance beyond studying mathematics at school or playing chess at an amateur level. Another possibility is Kenneth W. Regan. We don't have an article on him but he has made contributions to both computational complexity and chess (specifically, analysis of rating systems and of computerized cheating, not so much for his over-the-board play, although he is an IM). —David Eppstein (talk) 21:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as it stands, although I would be willing to change my mind if the entries were cited and some actual, referenced justification was given as to why this particular intersection is interesting. Double sharp (talk) 13:22, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is my feeling too. I can be brought around but only if the article is significantly improved. MaxBrowne (talk) 00:37, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As noted by Andrew Davidson mathematicians who studied or played chess is a topic that has received attention. David Spanier wrote in Total Chess that music, mathematics and chess are linked by their propensity to produce prodigies, and the pursuits have other connections too. Admittedly the article is not the best right now, but the current state is not so poor as to demand immediate removal and it won't ever improve if it is deleted. List of amateur chess players is an example of what the list could become if it were trimmed a bit, sourced and expanded to describe the contributions to math and chess.

  • Delete Never sure what these lists are meant to achieve. "Studied" is a very flexible term and mathematics come in many forms, pure and applied. There's an obvious link between the disciplines, but equally we could have a list of musicians; stringing together notes to form a tune is akin to combining chess moves to create tactics.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

How is this nonsense allowed? "He has explored four rare and extinct aṣṭavarga plants used as ingredients in the preparation of chyavanaprāśa, an Ayurvedic tonic. Discovered the sañjīvanībūtī of legendary fame." This article should be up for deletion. If no neutral information can be provided, none should be provided at all. Least of all claims of resurrecting extinct plants or creating magic medicines!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.91.152.105 (talk) 07:02, 24 May 2016 (UTC) Edit: Marked for deletion. As per Wikipedia's deletion policy [1], this article violates rule #4 "Advertising or other spam without any relevant or encyclopedic content", #7 "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed" - Good luck finding sources for him rediscovering extinct plants, #9 "Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons", blatantly violating no original research and #14 "Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia" which clearly states no to "Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise" or "Self-promotion". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.91.152.105 (talk) 07:12, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but rewrite heavily, or blow it up and start over. I have completed the nomination on behalf of the above IP editor. Subject is clearly notable based on the sources already in the article, but the article is completely whitewashed of the negative information found, for instance, in the cited Business Standard article. This needs a far more neutral treatment. --Finngall talk 17:57, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, I think this should be subject to WP:TNT or deleted as a whole. The article is too biased to be saved and evidently written with a clear autobiographical positive bias and serious whitewashing. A few newspaper articles and recognition by the Indian Prime Minister in a minor, insignificant and not well publicized press release does not necessarily demonstrate the necessary notability requirements, and sources should be more carefully examined to determine whether if they indeed do establish notability based on their credibility, the significance that the subject matter of the article is reflected upon (in this case, Acharya Balkrishna) and reliability as sources. Works of publications/primary sources by the Balk... that do not add to the article itself and uncited awards/information further lends itself to the notion that it is an autobiography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CycoPenguin (talk • contribs) 01:32, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would've PRODed too, my searches are finding several links, including some about the actual Deutsche Bank itself and not this 2010-start company, but all that I've found of this specific bank is nothing convincing for better notability.

Non-notable video game company who have yet to produce anything. Rob Sinden (talk) 14:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Actually they were notable back in 2012 for going to develop a game called Police Warfare and are now notable for developing Last Year. It is going to come out this November. Don't make James Wearing mad he gave me all the info about everything and he was really happy about it so how about I give you his email and you take up its Non-notable with him as all the members on his team are notable they worked on all kinds of games. And Canada Media Fund and Epic Games donated to them for Last Year so why would they donate if there a Non-notable game company. And there game is due for November 2016. So how about you tell me why it's Non-notable and il send that to James Wearing and then he will probably write something about this to. So I don't get why you say Non-notable thousands of people donated to to the Kickstarter campaign and Canada Media Fund and Epic Games the makers of Unreal Engine even donated to them so why would they do that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheHistoryKnower (talk • contribs) 16:21, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable recipient of an alleged miracle Orange Mike | Talk 03:16, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article just needs better references, which shouldn't be too hard to get IMHO. 04:04, 16 May 2016 (UTC) He is mentioned in a number of books, and I found one book on him specifically "John Traynor: His Miraculous Cure at Lourdes" 1858 - https://books.google.com.au/books?id=NIuHNQEACAAJ&dq=John+Traynor+miracle&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiUlOKU3N3MAhURtJQKHbJrBCIQ6AEIIDAB Deathlibrarian (talk) 04:09, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • reply - that might justify a paragraph in the article on Lourdes, but not an entire separate article, especially one with such NPOV sources as the one you mention; falls under WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP1E. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:35, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not notable enough to have an entire article to himself. Article runs into problems of fringe issues. His supposed 'miracle' cure seems to be presented as fact. Only unreliable paranormal books seems to cite this guy. Reddit is not a reliable source but I see what you were getting at, but even those comments do not list any critical or skeptical evaluation of Traynor's claims. There is no in-depth coverage from any reliable academic books, so I would have to say delete. HealthyGirl (talk) 07:10, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The above book that was mentioned "John Traynor: His Miraculous Cure at Lourdes", I believe to be an error. No publisher is given and appears to be self-published. If you search for this book on Google Books or any search engine, literally nothing comes up. The book is not listed or sold anywhere. The date is also wrong. It is listed as being written in 1858, but Traynor's story occurred in the early 20th century. Whatever this is, it is not a reliable source. HealthyGirl (talk) 07:17, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • For what it may (or may not be) worth there actually does seem to be an entry for "John Traynor: His Miraculous Cure at Lourdes" in Worldcat.org (pls see here - [18]). Given the lack of bibliographic details though (i.e. no date, no publisher and no place of publication) you may be right about it being self published.

  • Keep Adding sources to article now. Agree with [[User:Deathlibrarian, sources exist, page needs improvement. The Patrick Marnham book on Lourdes that I just added to the page has a long section on Traynor. Note that although I often run paywall-protected and archive searches on subjects at AFD, all that was required here was to glance at the first page of a simple google search on John Traynor + Lourdes. Then , after reading two articles in newspapers, I clicked books. There are lots of good sources, including the sort of "in-depth coverage" form reliable books and scholarly article taht an editor above sweepingly assers do not exist. It clearly passes WP:GNG even without taking the time to assess the reliability of the many Catholic pietist websites. I am NOT accusing anyone of bad faith, but I do think that running couple of simple WP:BEFORE searches ought to be the least an editor should do before dragging an article to AFD or iVoting keep, let alone making sweeping assertions that turn out to be falsifiable with a cursory search. End of rant. E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:08, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment What you are doing is adding sources written by believers into the article that support fringe claims. This is a problem for WP:Fringe. You are writing this article like this miracle is factual. This is a problem. I have been reading skeptical articles and books on the paranormal now for over six years (I have an extensive library of over 400 books), and I am telling you there isn't a single academic or skeptic source that evaluates Traynor's claims in a critical manner. All we are left with is sources written by believers endorsing his claims. The article is seriously in violation of WP:NPOV. HealthyGirl (talk) 20:20, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also note that I did not add, nor do I maintain, that a miracle happened at Lourdes. If we can please return to reality in this AFD, all that I am claiming is that pilgrimiages and milagle claims can be notable in the same way anything becomes WP notable, by being discussed in multiple reliable sources. Of source, I don't edit about ghosts. I do read sources before commenting about them at AFD. And I respectfully request that User:HealthyGirl rescind her remarks about me.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:34, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Pious sources I do wish to clarify that books by Christians can be used to established notability. For example, Father Paul Glynn is notable author and a Catholic Priest. His book, Healing Fire of Christ: Reflections on Modern Miracles has an entire chapter on Traynor and THIS IS A KEY POINT I do not know what he says in that chapter, but I do know that that chapter counts towards notability even if it proves, upon reading, that he what HealthyGirl calls a "believer" in Traynor's miracle cure. In other words, an article on a miracle might pass WP:GNG even if "there isn't a single academic or skeptic source that evaluates (it) in a critical manner." Just as many, probably most, WP articles meet GNG without academic sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:18, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note, however, that had User:HealthyGirl taken the trouble to read my edits - or the page - before commenting, shoe would have seen that among the sources I added was an article from the Journal of the Canadian Medical Association. I apologize to other editors for this lengthy post, but I take sourcing seriously and I'm just ticked by that accusation.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:18, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize if I have come across too hard, but I am afraid I am not convinced this article should be on Wikipedia from only sources that present this 'miracle' as factual, there are serious fringe problems here. The Guardian piece for example only mentions Traynor on one line that says "Royal Marine John Traynor was wounded in world war one. In 1923, he was dipped in a bath nine times. His paralysed legs then supported him again." The content in the piece in the Liverpool Echo is also entirely unreliable (it even spells his name wrong as "Jack" - "Jack was a Royal Marine severely wounded during the First World War,” explains Michael. “He was from Liverpool and he went with a group of fellow Catholics from the area to the shrines at Lourdes. While he was there he went to services and visited the baths nine times, even though he couldn’t walk or move one of his arms. After a blessing from the Archbishop of Rheims he went to bed. When he woke up he walked straight out of his hospital bed and ran into the town. He went to the Grotto and prayed the rosary." Whilst these might be considered reliable sources because they are newspapers we are dealing with fringe claims here so I do not believe this is acceptable weight. These are not academic sources and this to me is just endorsement of fringe claims. Of course it is not up to Wikipedia editors to question what is in reliable sources, we just cite them but it's impossible to have a neutral article if we are citing sources like this. HealthyGirl (talk) 22:31, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Jack and John are the SAME English name, Jack being an very old and accepted nickname for John. President John Kennedy, for example, was called Jack by all of his friends and family. That is NOT an error of fact, but even if it were, newspapers are RS even though thy do make the occassional error of fact. Please familiarize yourself with sourcing on Wikipedai.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:23, 26 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
respond This is not relevant to notability. The article can be written in the same tone we take with any other miracle story. "According to Muslim tradition, Muhammad flew in a single night on his mount (whatever that horse's name was) from Mecca to Jerusalem where he ascended to heaven, returning in the same night to Mecca." We do this all the time. Not just on Wikipedia. It is the way people write objectively about miracles. It is not all that different form the way objective people write in the articles you usually edit, about ghosts and people with paranormal abilities.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:43, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article runs in violation of WP:Fringe, the book that has now been cited The Healing Fire of Christ was written by Paul Glynn a priest and believer in miracles. His book is described as "This book draws our attention to the intervention of God in the lives of those devoted to his mother. The blind see, the lame walk, the poor have the Gospel preached to them. Miracles are real but they are metaphors as well, calling our attention to the power of God and our destiny beyond time." [19]. So much for "objectively" writing about miracles on Wikipedia. HealthyGirl (talk) 18:56, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article does not claim that a miracle happened. It states that the both notable author, journalist and travel writer Patrick Marnham and the notable author and Jesuit priest, Paul Glynn wrote at length about the topic.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:43, 27 May 2016 (UTC)E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:22, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry but I am done trying to communicate with you, you seem to misunderstand Wikipedia policies on fringe theories. I think it is time other users have a look at this, I will not be further responding. HealthyGirl (talk) 21:57, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Added more sources, both academic historians and popular books, I remain flummoxed by Healthy Girl's inexplicable characterization of article/sourcing, let alone a justification for posting this on the FRINGE theories noticeboard. Religion, history - but FRINGE????18:44, 30 May 2016 (UTC)E.M.Gregory (talk)
  • Merge/Redirect over to the main page about Lourdes apparitions and miracles as he, as an individual, is not that particularly notable other than within the context of the long-running claims about the site. Both WP:UNDUE and WP:BLP1E are very much on my mind. I don't think the justifications are proper for him to have his own page, let alone one with the details that it now has.

Who he was "As an individual" hardly seems relevant. More to the point is the fact that for a century he has been the subject of in-depth coverage in reliable newspapers and, to an even greater extent, in books: in pious books; in humour books, in travel books; and in serious, scholarly considerations of pilgrimage, miracles, and belief. In re: WP:ANYBIO, it is certainly easy to source the facts about his life to mainstream sources. But in re: WP:GNG the sourcing is so strong that he passes, he just does. (full confession, I stumbled on this one, but was provoked to source it by the patent falsity of HealthyGirl's assertion; "Only unreliable paranormal books seems to cite this guy.")E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:38, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Fringe is not applicable - you could apply that to any religious belief. There are source that indicate this was believed by some, and there appear to be a number of sources written on him. Deathlibrarian (talk) 05:45, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note That while there may be sources characterizing this as "fringe" or "paranormal" no such sources have been found. Many discussions of Traynor exist, so such sources may exist. But we cannot add "fringe" to the article unless sources are brought to support it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:30, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Article was posted on Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:59, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep, Prefer Merge and Redirect - I can see that this fringe theory is well sourced and apparently generally notable, however, I'm not convinced there is enough content to justify a solo article. I think that the autobiographical details could be cut or significantly trimmed, and the relevant claims about the miracle could be merged into the Lourdes article. I do not support a complete delete, but I'm not fully comfortable with keeping everything we have here either. Fieari (talk) 07:42, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I cannot help but think that our collective secular bias is showing. The sourcing already on the page is strong, although I pandered to the secular bias I share with other editors in choosing to add secular sources to the page. I could have added sections in books from pious publishers, such as Saints Who Raised the Dead: True Stories of 400 Resurrection Miracles by Father Albert J. Hebert published by TAN Books. It covers Traynor in some detail, and is not the sole pious book to do so. Note that the publisher's page is paltry, although it looks like a reputable house [20]. We lack good articles not only on Christian publishers and Christian pilgrimages, but on many significant historical and contemporary Christian topics - and I would argue that this is a result not merely of the fact that we skew secular and edit on topics that interest us, but that we have editors who apply different standards to articles of interest to secular people and topics of interest to believers. End of rant.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:29, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - per the recent work of E.M.Gregory this topic does appear to have the legs to be notable per WP:GNG due to the amount of coverage it has received (not just at the time but many decades later in some cases). Given that the article is now in decent shape (with the potential to continue to move forward) there seems little need point in binning it. That said just because there is enough to write an article doesn't mean our readers would need this level of coverage for this topic, and I agree with Fieari's suggestion that this could be covered just as well by merging and redirecting (baring in mind any undue weight issues in any possible merge target.

This article came to my attention after an IP began making claims that this article was a hoax and vandalism (see page history and this discussion on my talk page). After discussing the issue with the IP, I looked for sources and couldn't find any at all. Even the sources in the article do not mention the words "Muhajir Sooba", and I think that it either fails GNG for complete lack of notability or should be redirected or merged with another article (the IP thought it should be redirected to Mohajir people).

What do you mean by "hoax"? Your use of that word is very confusing, and you never explained it when Oshwah asked either - could you please do so now? There is nothing defamatory or derogatory (much less libellous) in the article, so those claims are also very confusing. Please explain what you mean by those words (and note that Wikipedia includes topics that many people find distasteful - in fact, I don't think there is anybody in the world who won't be offended by one or more of the topics we have articles on.

  • Neutral(Assume good faith) Merge to Mohajir people or to Sindh as suggested by bonadea, hoax I mean (Hoaxing Vandalism) and Political hoax as well , in other mean political gain, blackmailing in a politics to gain the advantages. It was a political advantages gaining from the government, as the hoaxing group had already more perks and privileges they had enjoyed since 1947. After the government resolved their concerns then the issue became dead and it does not exists anymore. There are examples of Refugees in the world that refugees migrate from one land to another due to various reason but it has never been happened that the separate province had been built for the Refugees , refugees had always been merged into the native community, and that is also the case with refugees after migration from India to Pakistan during and after the partition of Indian subcontinent. actually Pakistan was never been the demand by all Muslims in Indian subcontinent but it was coined by the northern India Muslims (in the North India these Muslims were in minority; whereas the Muslim of India who were in majority in Indian Subcontinent states/provinces did never demanded for separate country, Abul Kalam Azad had rejected a separate small country for the Indian Muslim whether he wanted to a united India which had been governed by the Muslims since centuries) who loss their perks and privileges in the British India. When these so call Mohajirs came to Pakistan they did got all the evacuee property left by Hindus of Sindh, Since then they had been enjoyed all the advantages of the new land.61.5.156.252 (talk) 11:08, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
See, this is exactly why I asked for your definition of "vandalism" and "hoax". So, it appears that (by what you said above) the article subject is a hoaxing group, or a group of people that exist, but create "hoaxes" or (probably by your definition) miss-statements of truth in order to gain unfair advantages or receive things in return that they wouldn't otherwise have. This is entirely different from hoaxes themselves, which was what I was trying to figure out from you. I'm not going to lie to you: there were some editors here who believed that you were pushing a point of view. I believed that you were, too. But, I will always honor and abide by the principal of giving others the benefit of the doubt.
Articles that are about hoaxes are allowed on Wikipedia; it is not vandalism or a hoax to write about a hoax. It is a hoax in Wikipedia's definition of policy if the article itself was completely lying about the existence of something that doesn't actually exist. Writing about Santa Clause, something most parents "lie" to their children about until they figure out that he isn't real (sorry to break it to you, Bonadea, but your parents were eating the cookies you left on Christmas Eve :-P), isn't a violation of policy. Now, if the article was created and said that he was real, then that would be a hoax (and essentially vandalism). I know that you were beginning to grow frustrated with my questions, but editors ask me for help with resolving difficult and heated disputes for a reason. It's because I take the time to ask these questions if they need to be asked; they're very important! They help me to determine how you define certain words and terms we use here and why you believe an article meets them, and they help me to investigate your claims correctly and explain the Wikipedia policies and guidelines that are not being understood correctly.
All of this aside, I will acknowledge that the revision of the article that was previously published here appears to be a "hoax"; It's unreferenced and, by your explanation, is describing the very thing that this group of people falsely fictionalize to others. This revision is not a hoax, as it describes the group of people that lie about the very thing that the previous revision was stating was true. All of THAT aside, there doesn't appear to be references that describe this group of people at all, and I don't think that they're notable enough (per GNG) to have its own article. Hence, it is being discussed here.
There was a lot of information and a lot of different issues and misinterpretations of policy definitions that I had to figure out. It's important to know that this is how dispute resolution should work; if done 100% correctly, even the most difficult or complicated dispute can be resolved and proper action taken! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:11, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perception/assumptions by some editors are not true as I didn't intended such things, I have not pushed anyone to a point of view, however I was only being a netural and I gave the explains why its subject to Vandalism, and Political hoax or political gain , it was issue, which is no more existed, it has been buried. I was only pointing out that such topics does not qualifies for the standalone articles here on Wikipedia. Regards... (.....)
You have acknowledged the concerns raised by me, there is no sound proof as no any given reference mentioned topic title and its important and its also not justified why the topic is important the title of the article also does not justifies the reason why its important. I had initially suggested that either it should be deleted or merged to the relevant articles. You would have been very glad that you have achieved the success by asking THIS IP , well I also congratulates you all, but friends as I saw the history of that article I saw it was useless content, sometimes I observed it was a vandalism, to resolve it I did what I felt was good enough. Any way I still thinks that article does not bears to be existed at all, So its suggested it should be speedily deleted or merged. Thanks (The IP(Intelligent Person))
  • Merge to Sindh. Hopefully some editors who are knowledgeable about Pakistani topics will weigh in, in addition to the IP above, but while we are waiting for that: the article talks about two partly different things, first about a political movement to create a separate province for the Muhajir people, and second about that province itself. The fact that the movement exists is well-sourced in Dawn (newspaper) (dawn.com), which appears to be a thoroughly reliable source, and all the existing sources confirm the fact that there has been a proposal to divide Sindh, but that it was rejected in the Sindh Assembly. The name of the proposed province is not mentioned in the sources, as Oshwah observes, which means that the current name of the article looks like it might be original research. I haven't actually searched for spelling variations, which is always necessary when looking for sources for names that have been transcribed from other writing systems, but it is perhaps telling that Dawn.com doesn't mention the name of the proposed province at all. I suspect, based on the IP's information, that this is a minority proposal trying to use Wikipedia to gain more legitimacy (especially since the article was rewritten to make it look as if the province actually existed!) and I think it's probably not notable enough for a standalone article. Since it is a proposal to divide Sindh province, and since there are sources for it, I do feel that the info could be moved to the article about Sindh. --bonadea contributions talk 09:58, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Muttahida Qaumi Movement. My talk page was also 'accosted' by the IP, and after further investigation, I've found a number of disconcerting edits by them, but more of that later. So, first off, this topic seems to be highly charged and politically divisive, but that being said, there is no way that the page would meet the requirements of a hoax or vandalism, not even close. I do notice that the page was subject to an edit war in October 2014, with the first shot being the addition of this, which was seemingly reverted on political grounds. So, given the creation of an independent province is an actual political objective of the MQM, I would suggest that the page be created as a separate topic of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement page. Now, an investigation of the IP's edits reveals a history of politically motivated vandalism, starting with his very first edits, here and here. His first edit on the page in question was this, where he deleted by insertion, followed by tagging with a CSD with no reason attached. It was shortly after declined by an administrator. The IP then blanked the page which I immediately reverted. He then blanked the page again and created a redirect, which was then reverted by Oshwah. (Hence why the IP rushed to our talk pages about 10 min later). I passed the hot potato to Oshwah, the consummate negotiator that he is, who patiently negotiated with the IP before deciding to achieve consensus by bringing the matter here. Technically the IP should have already been banned for 3RR with 6 reverts, but we have been very considerate in giving the IP significant latitude. I also think Oshwah should be commended for his amazing fortitude and patience in dealing with a difficult issue. David.moreno72 (talk) 12:08, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: In the province under reference there exists a division of Rural and Urban with a ratio of 60:40. This is the proof of administrative division. Therefore two tiers of a unit seem to be logical and sustainable. In this scenario page be kept separately. Nannadeem (talk) 17:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Nannadeem, The division ratio you have mentioned is the jobs division ration between the urban and rural, in real such geographical division does not exists. So its requested do not mislead. Thanks...Jogi 007 (talk) 04:37, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You stated "Under reference division ration 60:40", I have gone through the references and could not find evidence of such claims; Even I could not find the title of article Muhajir Sooba, which is not mentioned in the references.Jogi 007 (talk) 06:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Brother Jogi 007 Neither I have discussed geography nor the page title. In the interest of encyclopedia I am attempting to save the contents/page. Besides I am not certain which reference have you talked about 60:40 ratio. 60:40 ratio is fact, please see Merit/Provincial/Regional quotas for recruitment to civil posts Sl. No.13 of Civil Establishment Code (ESTACODE) [21], in addition to page Quota System in Pakistan one more link, here [22]
Comments: Your statement “In the province under reference there exists a division of Rural and Urban with a ratio of 60:40.” What do you mean by under reference which reference you were talking about which you have asked me, the reference I mentioned articles references, where as you have given the external links for 60:40 ration, which I have told you is the ratio of job distributions, yes it’s a fact for job distribution for rural and urban but it’s not a geographical distribution ratio.Jogi 007 (talk) 07:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Table-I: Area & population of Administrative units by Rural/Urban: 1951-1988 Censuses for the Province of Sindh, see here [23] provide total population of the province @ 3,04,39,893 with a breakup of 1,56,00,031 (rural) and 1,48,39,862 (Urban) in 1998 Census. Thus 60:40 ratios are self explanatory question and route cause of disturbed urbanization. I think it is two wings of a units and needs solution on the basis of logic and equity instead of dealing with adhoc arrangement. Nannadeem (talk) 20:13, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: It’s the job of assemblies and legislators to balance that equity, but it does not qualify that two separate articles with different name be kept on Wikipedia. So the editors have voted for the merging the article with the relevant articles.Jogi 007 (talk) 07:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Clarification (1) The province under reference - I mean Sindh Province. (2) I have already stated that "neither I have discussed geography nor the page title. Now for your satisfaction, it is submitted that: if there is one province and two divisions of quotas then geography may be defined in like manner of Urban and Rural distribution of quota where all cities except Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur are considered rural Sindh. For detail of admin Divisions please go through Divisions of Pakistan and List of cities in Sindh. Nannadeem (talk) 17:09, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Jinnahpur, which also demonstrate the same topic, I reached here by the Watchlist of the page.Jogi 007 (talk) 04:10, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Jinnahpur Agree with Jogi don, subject remains the same. Both Jinnahpur and Muhajir Sooba refer to same geographic piece of land, were demanded by the same political party for same/similar reasons. No need to have a separate article. --SMS Talk 06:51, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: Page Jinnahpur also reveals Jinnahpur a conspiracy (allegation) which has also been denied, whereas wing (e.g. Sindh-I or II) in a province is a demand. If an allegation and a political move seems to have like routes and strategies then merger to Jinnahpur appears to be rational, otherwise it will be a misnomer. Nannadeem (talk) 20:21, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments: Jinnahpur was also intended for the same purpose, so therefore its suggested to merge article 'Muhajir Sooba' to 'Jinnahpur ' as per Wikipedia rules two separate articles with same objectives and topics should not be kept. you mentioned Sindh-I or II, which is not the name of article. first making a conspiracy (or according to your point of view 'allegations') then masking it as a political move for the same intentions and objectives make no difference. So its clear that two separate articles with same objectives can not be kept separately on Wikipedia so they should be merged.Jogi 007 (talk) 07:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(1) Karachi Soba was first launched by one of the leader of National Awami Party (NAP), Mr. Mahmoodul Haq Usmani, when the Capital of Pakistan was shifted from Karachi to Islamabad. At that time there was no MQM or Dr. Saleem Haider, President of Mohajir Iteehad Tehreek, I think well known initiator of Mohajir Sooba, for details please read this[24] and this [25]
(2)The MQM has policy for division of Sindh on administrative grounds. I quote from the contents published in The Nation (Pakistan) newspaper on 10-Nov-2014 Quote:The slogans of PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari against the division of Sindh getting close to the people of Karachi with the MQM proposal of Sindh 1 and Sindh 2. Apparently MQM Chief Altaf Hussain has cleared that the party doesn’t want to divide Sindh rather than seeking administrative division for the prosperity of Sindh and Pakistan and it could be named as North Sindh, South Sindh, East Sindh and West Sindh, said Ameen. Quote over, link is here [26] + more links [27] & [28]. In view of this history the merger appears to be out of context. Thanks Nannadeem (talk) 17:28, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As you have stated above there is no evidence for the separate province, it was political issue for some time, There have been severe allegations on MQM for its treason, disloyalty with Pakistan, Money laundering cases, Karachi Operation, its links with external spy agencies i.e RAW South Asian Terrorism P{ortal [29] [30] [31] [32],and its better to merge the article with one of the above merging suggestion. Both Jinnahpur and Muhajir Sooba relate to same geographic piece of land, were demanded by the same political party for same/similar reasons. No need to have a separate article Jogi 007 (talk) 10:56, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Claimed notability is that of a two time winner of a high profile (professional?) video game championship... if the game in question was Starcraft, I'm pretty sure this person would meet our notability standards.

Ann Brickley is no longer a public figure Amandasm4 (talk) 03:10, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2016 May 31. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 03:33, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I don't believe that current status as a public figure is one of our notability criterions. If someone WAS a public figure, than for wikipedia's purposes, they always are. So I find Amandasm4's argument completely irrelevant. That said, I'm currently on the fence about whether political candidates for local districts are sufficiently notable. I'm not going to say that they are notable during the campaign, and then not notable if they lose and leave politics behind them forever. For consistency, either a local politician is only notable if they win, OR they are permanently notable. Obviously, candidates for larger political positions are notable... serious US presidential candidates, for instance, should all have articles (and permanently so, regardless of whether they retreat from public life later on). Small town sherrif positions probably should not have mere candidates listed as notable. So clearly there's a gradient... I'm just not sure where to draw the line. Governors? Senators? Representatives? A US Rep is still national, after all, but not as big as a senator.

    I'll withold a !vote for now, as I want to hear more opinions first. But please consider the above. Fieari (talk) 06:20, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • That's the wrong way to think about things. This article is a biography. The rules about sourcing apply very strictly. So the only question is whether the primary notability criterion applies: whether this person's life and works have been documented in depth in multiple published sources by people independent of the subject with good reputations for fact checking and accuracy. What class of person this person belongs to is entirely irrelevant. This is a biography of a living person. Uncle G (talk) 09:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unelected candidates for office are not considered notable just for being candidates: if you cannot demonstrate and properly source a credible reason why they have enough preexisting notability to have qualified for a Wikipedia article independently of their candidacy, then they must win the seat to become notable because of their political activity per se. That's what Fieari's missing: candidates for president, or for statewide offices like governor or the US Senate, may very well already have enough preexisting notability — even in the uniquely bloated Republican presidential primaries this year, frex, every single candidate either had already held another NPOL-passing office, or was already prominent enough in business or medicine to get over those inclusion bars regardless of their non-passage of NPOL. But being a candidate for president is still no automatic guarantee of a Wikipedia article — we do not necessarily maintain an article about every tinfoil hat candidate from Podunk, Utah who's ever declared themselves a candidate for president, but restrict ourselves only to the ones who can be shown to pass WP:GNG for something. And candidates in individual US House districts are significantly less likely to have the necessary level of preexisting notability — it's still not entirely impossible, but it's less common than it is in the gubernatorial, senatorial or presidential races. So no, candidates don't get automatic inclusion freebies because candidate — they get articles if either (a) they win, or (b) the article is sourced well enough to show that they were already notable enough for articles anyway. But neither of those applies here. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 07:32, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete: I believe that Bearcat is correct that WP:NPOL requires people to actually win their race or have additional notability factors. Here, I see insufficient outside notability factors. That said, I would argue that being a major party's nominee for federal office is still notable all by itself, but that is a bigger issue than this article. Montanabw(talk) 05:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Whilst her notability is lasting and does not disappear if she ceases active political activity, she simply does not have enough notability. I strongly disagree with the above contention by @Montanabw: that anyone standing for an individual constituency in a national election from a major party is notable. Would that simply apply to the United States? Or would it apply for the UK? India with it's biggest democratic election? What about WP:NPOL? AusLondonder (talk) 09:25, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Plus Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Poland, Mexico and every other multiparty democracy in the entire world. It would get completely unsustainable and unmaintanable fast. Bearcat (talk) 14:05, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am thinking of, " such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article." In a federal system such as that of the USA, most major Congressional level candidates easily meet GNG for coverage. Where nations do not have state-level government, but merely a huge national assembly, I can see the problem, but essentially, instead of having an endless debate over the issue, I think it may need to be sorted out at NPOL or WP:POLOUTCOMES with a nation-by-nation determination, as determined by the editors in that nation or familiar with its politics: For example, the Greens in nations with a strong two or at the most three party system, such as Australia, the UK, or the USA are not "major" parties in any way, but in Austria, for example, they now are. In nations with massive multiparty systems and coalition governments, such as Israel or perhaps India, I can see the need for a determination of where the line is. One size definitely does not fit all. Montanabw(talk) 17:49, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Let's take the example of the United Kingdom. The House of Commons has 650 members. Labour and the Conservatives combined won 86% of seats. But the Scottish National Party came first in Scotland and won 56 of 59 Scottish seats. On the other hand from 2010-2015 the Liberal Democrats were a part of the government and in 2010 won 57 seats. In Northern Ireland all seats were won by local parties. So how would we decide what parties were included? In addition, regional parliaments exist in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We could soon have thousands of articles (often promotional) for each election. Coverage can almost always be found for major party candidates. In India a similar problem exists with different parties doing well in different states. AusLondonder (talk) 05:16, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
For the purposes of a legislative election, it would be a WP:CRYSTAL and WP:NOR violation to base the "major party" distinction on how much chance the party has or doesn't have of winning an election outright. WP:NPOV would essentially require us to define "major party" as any party that has ever held seats in the legislature at all — so by that token, while the Greens in the US wouldn't qualify, the Greens in Australia, the UK and Canada would. And notability is not inherited, so the Greens having won a presidential election in Austria doesn't transfer special status onto the party's parliamentary candidates above and beyond that which the party's elected parliamentarians have already collected for themselves. And then you get into the fact that upstart parties sometimes break through with a handful of seats, or form from a small caucus of existing legislators who cross the floor due to a political dispute — and thus now also qualify as "major" under the only purely objective definition we could actually apply. It's an ugly road we don't want to go down. Bearcat (talk) 17:43, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Even in the case of the US, the number of candidates for major parties greatly outnumbers those who have won elections, since figures like John Dingell faced 20+ opponants over their careers. The truly notable ones will generally have held office as a state house member or state senator, and thus are notable on holding some office, not merely for running for office. A rare exception is probably Mia Love, who even in her first run for congress which she lost got way more than routine coverage. On the other hand I created the article back after she was elected mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah and no one challenged it then, and with her now being a member of congress whether the article on her should have been created as early as it was is merely an academic question.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:19, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your example, John Pack Lambert is a good reason to consider US Candidates at least potentially notable. IN contrast, the position of {[u|Bearcat}} represents a consensus that should be reexamined for US Politicians. The points raised by AusLondonder show why we can't create a "one size fits all" rule and perhaps NPOL should be spun off into a separate page that outlines the general rule and then the rules for individual nations where a consensus exists.

His example, in fact, is completely consistent with the rule that already exists now: a unelected candidate can, in certain circumstances, already have preexisting notability for other things prior to their candidacy (e.g. if a person has already held another NPOL-passing role and then falls short in their run for a different office, then they're kept on the basis of office #1 rather than being deleted as a failed candidate for office #2), or can, in certain circumstances, "explode" onto the national radar with a volume and depth of coverage that more closely resembles the kind of coverage usually afforded to incumbent officeholders than the kind normally afforded to candidates (Christine O'Donnell is another example of that; the coverage turned into such a national media frenzy that she easily passes WP:GNG regardless of the fact that she technically still fails NPOL.) But Mia Love or Christine O'Donnell don't constitute proof that the rule itself needs to be rewritten to grant automatic notability to all candidates, or that the US needs a special US-exclusive exemption from the rule that would apply in any other country — they constitute proof that the rule is already working the way it should, because the rule already does allow for situations like theirs to get through the "more notable than the norm" gauntlet.

I totally oppose some kind of US exemption from the rules. We are an international encyclopedia that should cover topics with genuine lasting significance not cable channel election hype. WP:GEOBIAS is relevant here. Indian candidates contest larger constituencies in colourful and closely fought contests. If American candidates who lose are notable why not them?

  • Rename to Carol and Patsy Grimaldi (or something similar). I don't think we have enough info for just a Carol Grimaldi article, however, the couple and their work over time I do think merits an article. There was a lot of drama involved with the pizza business with these two. Including Pasty Grimaldi will allow Wiki editors to expand into a good and interesting article. I'd be happy to work on it it some more myself. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:27, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's a weak keep, but given the news coverage, looks like a keep. I agree withMegalibrarygirl that it should really be a combined bio. Normally, I would say it should be an article on the business, but it changed names and that would make it hard to find.RockyMtChai (talk) 19:40, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Apart from the obituaries, sources do in the main treat these two people inseparably, and thus so too should Wikipedia. There's a documented history for these two people crossing three different pizza shops, Patsy's, Grimaldi's, and Juliana's. And it is moderately in-depth coverage that addresses the people themselves, not solely the shops. Consider this 2012 New York Magazine article for instance, a source not in the article, and there are books that touch upon these people as well. There's other stuff about the husband in a book by Ed Levine, ISBN 9780789312051, for example. I think that the editors above have the right idea and the right approach: Patsy and Carol Grimaldi.

    I forsee some interesting talk page discussions, as we have supposedly reliable sources giving the same man as both the wife's and the husband's uncle. New York Times says in the 2014 obituary it was the wife's uncle. New York Post in 2012 and several books say the husband's. Enjoy sorting that out.

'MIDGET' CROWNED WITH DRUG INDICTMENT [33] 1989 AP/NYTimes article : Raid on Cocaine Ring Results in 16 Arrests [34] identifies him as the ringleader of the gang.

DRUG 'KING' DETHRONED JUDGE CROWNS HIM WITH 19 YEARS IN JAIL [38] Philadelphia Daily News, 23 January 1990.

  • Delete Not sure per WP:BLPCRIME - there is far too much unsourced content for an article on someone who's notability is for something extremely negative - I would have closed the AfD as "delete" but it would look too much like a supervote, so I'll park this here. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 17:34, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment – A matter, though, is that WP:BLPCRIME warns against "including material in any article suggesting that the person has committed, or is accused of committing, a crime unless a conviction is secured" for subjects who are not public figures. However, the subject was convicted and sentenced to over 19 years in prison (see this source from the Philadelphia Media Network for verification). As such, WP:BLPCRIME does not apply to this subject. North America1000 17:52, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Okay, I probably meant more straight notability rather than BLPCRIME specifically. It is perfectly possible to be convicted of a major crime and receive a large sentence, while still not receiving coverage beyond basic news press. If the crime was notorious enough to be all over the national press like a rash (eg: Fred West, Harold Shipman), then I think the article would be obviously kept.

The result was no consensus. Significant disagreement about the notability and worthiness of this topic relative to Wikipedia's purposes exists in this discussion. Those opining for deletion have stated that the article is promotional as attempted publicity, that the topic is not notable, and that the topic gained coverage per a "slow news day" but lacks notability per "enduring significant coverage in reliable sources". The nominator later followed-up stated that WP:NOTNEWS is applicable regarding the topic and that some of the recent sources added to the article are about a different topic. Users opining for article retention have stated that the topic is notable per sources that have covered the topic, that major news sources have reported about the topic, that it has received "news followup", and that the source coverage is "in-depth" and does not have an "interest in promoting the imaginary event". In a follow-up comment, a user stated that the topic "seems to be too local", "only localized to that local store," and lacks lasting notability, but this notion has been countered with the argument that the topic has received coverage in major news media sources and that it has received "news followup" This discussion has received ample input, but no consensus for a particular action has emerged here.

  • Comment, the article maybe notable as an internet phenomena. It has been covered by independent news sources such as ABS-CBN and GMA. Although the structure of the article is problematic. Too "memey". The supposed "8 rules" of the fictitious fistfight is likely not even posted by the organizers of the fictitious event and is more likely a non-serious/just-for-fun synthesis of the 8list.ph. The response of ACE Hardware to the event as a subject in marketing/advertising is a notable aspect of the internet phenomena, information such as if they boost sales from the event, if they failed to take advantage of the event.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 03:29, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: Why delete? Okay. Really, it was an internet (Facebook) phenomena. The event, too "memey"? It was actually considered as meme by [or news giant], GMA News and Public Affairs. The response of ACE Hardware really came from their management (because of the damage that the event can do and the mall security can't take on that), and you got the point, they failed to take advantage, that they should do, according to a big person (I forgot his/her name) working on an advertising agency. But later on, they realized that they should use bad publicity as marketing strategy so on the imaginary event date, they prepared small boxing ring where customers can take pictures, coinciding 3-day sale at SM City Lucena. Since, the event page owner took down the page already, I can't confirm if the 8List thingy was really posted on the event page. I am a Filipino and I can say that the 'crazy' event was really trending for how many days. They also relate the event to Baron Geisler, a Filipino actor on these past years that is always related to legal troubles, and even imaginary "Taguro", a take of "Togoru" from Ghost Fighter[2], so please don't delete the page. Also, you can advice me what I should do to maintain the page. Thanks!--Manila's PogingJuan / PogingJuan (talk) 10:50, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, I was talking about the tone of the article being "memey" not calling for the article to be deleted outright for being too "memey". Memes are allowed such as Doge article. Pardon if I'm going to nitpick one particular line but it's clearly that the netizens are joking when they said they cancelled weddings or childbirth. No one disputes that the statement was not really from ACE Hardware. Look I see this article has potential. Here is some advice. Add more references to the article. Discuss the article as if you are an outside observer in a more "serious tone" for the lack of a better term. (I know its a little challenge for something lighthearted for a meme like this but Doge managed to pull it off.). Also if you can manage to retrieve the source on the statement of this person on an ad agency, please do so. Avoid blogs like 8list.com or by non-professionals since these are unreliable sources. This also includes Facebook. Youtube videos can be cited as long as they are from a reputable source. Maybe add some concrete effects on the career of celebrities involve such as Baron Geisler, not only their fictional involvement. I can't assure anything regarding the deletion, since I'm not a moderator but please don't get disheartened about this.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 09:34, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - As the article currently stands, notability is self evident. It could possibly use more cleanup, and more improvements, but it's clear this made the news and was covered from at least two different angles, and was worthy of news followup as well. Fieari (talk) 06:26, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:N(E)- All improvements that is needed for an event article to be notable are set on this article, comparing when afd was started. All non-notable sources from 8list.ph for example are removed. Since the improvement of the article and afd being relisted, I haven't read any comments from User:DGG, who initiated this afd, and what a 'pro-delete' commenter User:SwisterTwister only commented about my long comments above that don't makes article notable and I think, he didn't even considered to visit the article first to see the difference of 'then' and 'now'. --Manila's PogingJuan 08:49, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There are enough articles with more than trivial coverage to meet notability. The in-depth sources don't appear to have an interest in promoting the imaginary event. Gab4gab (talk) 15:02, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - If you think this is better now, you can restart it at userspace, for example: User:PogingJuan/Article or User:PogingJuan/Suntukan sa Ace Hardware. However the case simply seems to be too local and otherwise not convincing for any lasting notability and this was apparently only localized to that local store. Even if you say it's an "Internet phenomenon" and has been known, the article is still questionable and would perhaps read instead like a guide for that event and the "Response" section is particularly not helping either. It was also apparently "fictitious" and never actually happened nearly 2 months ago so even if it was a known "Internet meme", there's nothing else to suggest it's anything else than an apparently planned event. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SwisterTwister (talk • contribs) 17:13, 6 June 2016 (UTC) (comment by SwisterTwister)[reply]
Looking at it again myself, I continue to think it should be deleted. It was a local advertising stunt, which became a very minor meme, with no lasting presence or significance, or likelihood of any. I think the general rule is that such matters are covered by NOT NEWS. There is a degree of triviality that does not warrant coverage in an encyclopedia. In order to make it seem more important, references have been added for another event, claimed to be related. But this seems to have been an expected confrontation between lawyers for two politicians that turned out to be a extremely little interest; but from the reference, there was in fact some at least minimal factual basis. I see no connection besides that the two memes occurred the same year in the same country. Another ref.does see them connected on the basis that they are both absurd memes, but the actual article is bout the fictional events on two major TV shows. (btw, for those unfamiliar with me and the other editor, he does notify me about interesting afds at my request, but we agree only about half the time) DGG ( talk ) 22:36, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This now forgotten and misleading meme was a short term "flash in the pan" phenomenon which received some "slow news day" coverage in the Philippines where it originated. More recent reliable sources dismiss it in a few words as "grotesque" and "absurd", and lacking enduring significant coverage in reliable sources, it also lacks notability, and should therefore be deleted. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:31, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Originally, it was not an advertising stunt for Ace Hardware. This event created in Facebook by a 'non-Ace Hardware personnel and a person who have nothing to do in life', is a suntukan or brawl and it's impossible that the management will create some brawl event (because of mall security and so it is considered by news reports as a 'meme') so they denied it by a response. Here in the Philippines, especially people in social media and the news media people, events like this one is being often sensationalized. But, AH realized that they should take the 'publicity' so on the same date, they just build a boxing ring where people can take picture. The 'suntukan' did not really happen in sense of a real brawl because of mall security and reputation so it was called imaginary or fictitious. Now, the real confrontation of the-now-president-elect and outgoing senator about undeclared wealth was really nothing to do about 'suntukan'. It's just they (especially people in social media) only described the confrontation similarly to this event. --Manila's PogingJuan 10:19, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The "encounter", which received plenty of publicity including exposure on the Art Bell show, has been shown by multiple sources to have been a hoax. Rather than gather these up in this comment, I can at least report that a google search for "John Bradley Rutter", which is "Jonathan Reed's" real name brings up several sources about the hoax. The article should not be kept as an example of an encounter or an example of a fringe theory. In fact, the section that describes the bogus encounter, which is a large part of the current article, should be entirely or almost entirely deleted. The article should be kept as an example of an elaborate hoax which did get widespread attention but which also was subsequently thoroughly debunked and discredited. The Google search turns up multiple mentions and appears to present adequate sourcing for the affair as a notable hoax. I may try to revise the article with the supporting citations soon, but I thought I should report what I found for consideration in case I do not get to it immediately.

I have no vested interest in this either way. As I said, I think this is not notable as some sort of prominent or unexplained UFO encounter but as a hoax which received some notice and then was debunked. I'll see what others think before working on the article. If the consensus is for deletion, so be it. If a consensus develops to keep and rewrite, I will work on it.

  • delete a news archives search on proquest for "jonathan Reed" + Extraterrestrial , then on jonathan Reed" + UFO got only 3 hits: an October 2005 mention in a Seattle Times article about a UFO-believers convention, An out-of-this-world convention ; UFO believers tell extraterrestrial tales (color story about a convention); Oct 7, 2005 Irish Esaminer: UFO buffs tell of contact (includes some details of Reed's story); and an 11 May 2015 debunking in the Express online edition: Man behind 'irrefutable UFO crash proof' linked to string of alien hoaxes. That's not a lot. I found 3 items on a google books search, none by notable authors, 2 were credulous, at least 1 of these self-published, 1 called itself "critical," all read like WP:SENSATION in book form. No scholarly material or serious journalism found. I am not seeing enough here to keep, but f it is kept I want to confirm Donner60s sense that this article needs a total rewrite, and to say that the title would ABSOLUTELY need ot be changed to something like Jonathan Reed allegation or Jonathan Reed hoax to indicate the lack of, er... reality.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:24, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if it were kept it would need a total rewrite to focus on the hoax, not on the fake encounter. A rewrite of the title also would be a good idea. It looks like the consensus is heading for deletion, however, and I am ok with that. I agree that the article as it is, even with the introductory material about it being a hoax, is not worthwhile. I do think the faked encounter and subsequent showing of a hoax have gained some notoriety, albeit since this is almost all from out of the mainstream sources, perhaps they don't make a case for notability even as a hoax. I am not changing my position, just acknowledging that I can see it not being the consensus. Donner60 (talk) 00:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - St170e 2602:306:3357:BA0:70E5:1E5D:56FC:CFF8's argument that the article is too short is invalid. Current article length is not, and will never be a deletion criteria. That said, this particular local road does not seem to be notable in any appreciable way, which is a deletion criteria. So delete. Fieari (talk) 02:43, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be mistaken User:Fieari, I did not comment on article length. st170etalk 02:48, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
My apologies. My eyes glazed over at the long string of hex codes that is the intended person's username, and your signature was close enough for me to mistake it. Sorry! Fieari (talk) 05:57, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, listifying it doesn't seem such a bad idea. I'm not going as far as to say keep though. Anarchyte (work | talk) 08:24, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If these roads aren't found to be notable enough for stand-alone articles, perhaps it would be more helpful if the effort which has been put into them was recycled into a List of Irish Regional Roads (possibly split into two or more numerical ranges if it's too cumbersome) which could give a table with the basic information, with the sources already provided, for each of the roads, and would link out to the minority which are actually notable (and have incoming redirects for the rest). If the seven articles here were deleted, it would leave seven more redlinks on that template: I suggest that that would be to the detriment of the encyclopedia. There are a lot of articles on a lot of fairly non-notable roads around the world (yes, I know about WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS!) I guess this adds up to Keep all pending discussion of the whole group of "Irish Regional Roads" and the template and consideration of creating a List rather than mass deleting.

I have left a note at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Highways/Europe#Irish_Regional_Roads to alert European Roads experts (there's no Irish Roads project as such) to this discussion. PamD 10:25, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I would be quite happy to merge all of the roads into a List of Irish Regional Roads because most of them aren't notable, with a few exceptions like R101 road (Ireland). st170etalk 12:49, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Listify per PamD. Typical practice in the U.S. is to listify minor roads that are likely to get a mention somewhere else (example: List of county routes in Rockland County, New York (1–38)) and I don't see these regional roads as being any different. –Fredddie™ 11:14, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into a list as suggested by PamD. While the individual roads do not appear to have sourceable notability, the system seems to (based on my cursory understanding of the content at Regional road). The WP:USRD/RCS-style approach mentioned by Fredddie would work well here. --Kinu t/c 18:48, 31 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all, pending a broader discussion of Regional roads and the {{Roads in Ireland}} template. I endorse much of what PamD has said above. The template, with R roads, has been in existence since 2010 and may appear to confer class notability. Considerable effort has gone into many of these articles over time.
I would add that R roads are not county roads, though many run within a single county. They are a national system of regional roads below national primary and secondary routes. Many, often large, areas near the west coast are only reachable by R roads, particularly peninsulas. Areas of cultural and natural significance. Ireland's N roads are limited to two digits, whereas UK A roads run to three (or indeed four) digits and appear to have notability as a class. Axxx roads in Scotland, a good Ireland analogue in population, transport and terrain, are sometimes single-track or short and frequently minimally referenced in their articles. (This might be WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS but possible useful analogues have been mentioned)
I would offer that a good many R roads are significant, in the Irish transport context. Not all, I accept. And I hope we primarily consider this issue in the context of these roads' importance to Ireland. Disclaimer: I have created a number of R road articles myself, but wanted to add to this important discussion as such an editor and I hope the other pinged editors will too.

  • Keep all— for now, but we can listify them in the future pending a discussion on what to do with them. Imzadi 1979 → 09:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
