I declined this at AfC because it was not only an advertisement and questionable notability, but the sources themselves and even the ones listed now are literally only interviews complete with professionally taken flashy photos of either him or the boldly "naked photos", and they even go as far to then advertise them and his businesses, it's still therefore advertising wherever published, the listed sources are examples of this. Take the GQ for example, it literally not only says "How he maintains his six-pack" but it's an interview of the man talking about himself and his own career, it's not substantial or independent; likewise, take the NY magazine which clearly and blatantly not only advertises him, but cares to state "Give him his own TV show!". My own searches of News noticeably found large numbers of these exact same contents republished along with said professionally taken flashy photos.

When an article largely consists of that, whatever, whoever and wherever they are, it's still advertising, and the fact he simply happens to own some NY-based restaurants carries no inherited notability nor the fact it cares to specifically mention all of his modeling companies. Simply being in NY and having news sources interview you is not a sole basis of notability because it's actually an excellent example of advertising, especially when he's advertising not only himself but the restaurants, what they are, where they are, etc. Also, in the past before, we have explicitly deleted such articles because of the sheer advertising and how there was simply nothing both substantial and non-advertising to actually fix and save, this is an example of that. SwisterTwister talk 23:59, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Its worth noting that two of the sources/further reading links are non-NY based sources - a national magazine GQ and a British paper the Telegraph. I would be more concerned with what you said was only in NYC press, but it drops when it goes outside of the "hot new restaurant" in the local media sphere.

Delete per WP:GNG and WP:PROMO. My searches found nothing WikiNotable. Narky Blert (talk) 00:26, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. An Olympic-standard swimmer who has now received plenty of coverage as a chef. Claims that the coverage that exists, from multiple countries, constitutes 'advertisements' and are 'promotional' seem to lack merit, and the fact that coverage contains 'flashy photos' is not a valid reason to discount them. --Michig (talk) 06:30, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep I checked this Peru at the 2004 Summer Olympics#Swimming and he isn't listed. There are no swimming sport specific guidelines, so it all falls to GNG. I worry about the quality of the sources. A lot of them talk about his Olympic credentials - would be great if he were actually an Olympian. That makes me question the journalistic integrity of what is written. For example, are they just promoting what he says without doing any fact-checking? The Telegraph article says he qualified, but was injured so maybe some are taking literary license. That being said, GQ, NY Post, NY Magazine, and Telegraph are all major publications and they seem to go beyond WP:ROUTINE. In view of this keep with some reservation.

Communist Party of Canada (Manitoba)[edit]

Article fails WP:ORG and fails to cite any sources. Was never elected. Me-123567-Me (talk) 21:45, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A political party does not have to have succeeded in electing members to a legislature to pass our notability standards for political parties; it merely has to be properly sourceable as having nominated candidates. The individual candidates, conversely, don't qualify for standalone biographies until they win — but that fact does not have a bearing on the includability of an article about the party. Just frex, the nominator lists support for the Green Party of Ontario on his userpage — but that party has never won a seat either, and I'm sure he doesn't want to set a precedent that would wipe his own party off the wikimap. (And if the nominator wants to try splitting the hair that the GPO is a provincial chapter of a national party which has elected members to other legislatures in Canada, then he'll have to try again: the CPC-M is exactly that same thing too, because Fred Rose and Dorise Nielsen really did happen.) Yes, some sourcing improvement is needed here, but our basic notability standards for political parties have been met. Bearcat (talk) 00:33, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Please, nominate the Green Party of Ontario for deletion. The big diffierence is the GPO article cites sources. This one cites very few. Me-123567-Me (talk) 04:51, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Four references is not "very few". Does it need more before it can be considered a good article? Yes. But is four enough to cover the basic notability question? Also yes. Bearcat (talk) 15:22, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    - Could you please show me which guideline backs that up? Thanks! Me-123567-Me (talk) 22:28, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      - Neither WP:GNG nor WP:ORG states a specific minimum number of sources that have to be present before they're passed — they speak about types of sourcing, not raw numbers beyond the word "multiple". It depends on context more than numbers: one source can be enough to pass GNG by itself if that source is supporting an automatic SNG pass of the "anything that meets this criterion is an automatic must-keep" variety, and ten sources can be not enough to pass GNG if they're purely local sources supporting a notability claim on the order of "president of the St. Andrews Presbyterian Church Ladies Auxiliary bake sale committee". And on top of that, a GNG-passing volume of coverage doesn't always have to be present in an article before it can be kept — if a GNG-passing volume of coverage can be shown to exist in the real world, the article can still be kept and flagged for improvement regardless of whether it's directly citing all of that coverage yet or not.
        And incidentally, the GPO is not a lot better sourced than this is, because it's relying almost entirely on primary sources like the party's own website about itself — the amount of reliable and independent sourcing present in that article is actually no larger than it is in this one. Bearcat (talk) 13:27, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- the article needs to be cleaned up to remove intricate uncited detail, but the subject itself appears notable. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:15, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Hi. New editor here, this is the first deletion discussion I've participated in, so please forgive any policy misinterpretations. It seems to me that while cleanup and further sourcing is required, I don't doubt the existence of more numerous secondary sources (newspaper articles of the day, for instance). Also, it's not true that the party never elected anyone: although operating under a different name (LPP), party leader William Kardash was elected four times to the Manitoba Legislature serving from 1941-1957. I feel that the Communist Party in Manitoba, while currently much reduced from its earlier incarnation, is certainly notable. nerdgoonrant (talk) 17:58, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It seems people are quite confused. There is Communist Party of Canada and references found go there.. But what the heck is Communist Party of Canada (Manitoba)? Staszek Lem (talk) 04:11, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The organization, affiliated with but separate from the federal party in exactly the same way that the Manitoba New Democratic Party is not the same thing as the federal New Democratic Party, which nominated candidates to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba and Winnipeg City Council. Trust me, nobody's confused here. Bearcat (talk) 17:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Provincial-level history of one section of the Communist Party of Canada, subject of a copious literature. As is the case with American major and minor parties, the provincial and state subsections were quasi-autonomous electoral organizations. One might make the case that this was less true with the centralized CPC than with non-communist parties, which allowed much greater local autonomy, but the principle still holds, I think, that each is a subject worthy of encyclopedic exposition. I will also note that I favor a very low bar for political organizations, their leaders, and their youth sections, since this is the sort of material that a comprehensive encyclopedia should cover. Carrite (talk) 15:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Needs serious cleanup but the subject itself is notable as a registered provincial party. RA0808 ^talk _contribs 17:43, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep, Top 10 chart entry; this is not a good nomination - David Gerard (talk) 09:34, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to TLC discography#Video albums. Charting in and of itself does not make a release notable. Actual coverage, where the video is discussed, is required. The chart position and source can simply be merged to the discography page as there is no other info that can be imparted from this article. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 17:23, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm OK with this - having the redirect is important (the presumption is that something that charted is something people might look for), but the discography is a perfectly good place for the information on its chart placing, the only notable thing about it - David Gerard (talk) 18:35, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to TLC discography#Video albums. All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.^WP:NALBUM Charting does not imply notability; charting only indicates that it may be notable. Without significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject the recording is not presumed to be notable. — JJMC89 (T·C) 00:47, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - simply charting is not sufficient by itself to satisfy WP:NALBUM. Those editors stating that charting meets the guideline have missed the very start of it which states that coverage in independent reliable sources is also needed. Whpq (talk) 00:49, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep charted top 10 in the US, notable enough. Will deleting this really make the encyclopedia better? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 05:49, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Notable enough implies it meets notability criteria. It does not. We improve the encyclopedia by ensuring that we meet the minimum requirements for a standalone article.

Keep well over the bar for the relevant SNG. Editorially, merging might be the right call, but from an AfD perspective, it more than meets our inclusion guidelines. Hobit (talk) 12:57, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- How is it "well over the bar" when the cited guideline asks for significant coverage in reliable sources and the article has none? -- Whpq (talk) 17:46, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - A fine point. I read that twice and didn't see it at the top there. Merge seems like the policy-compliant solution for now (until additional coverage should get found, I can only find one book and I can't tell what amount of coverage it has...). Hobit (talk) 22:04, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Despite a great deal of self promotion, own web-sites, blogs, conference proceedings notices and the like, I could find nothing here that establishes any notability. Looks like a blatant puff piece. Had it not been quite so obvious, I would have happily tagged this for notability and see whether it developed, but this looks too bad to ignore.

List of Sword Art Online characters[edit]

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

This list of characters is unnecessary, and little more than an opportunity to drop all kinds of OR and plot detail into Wikipedia. References prove easily that these characters have no shred of notability and have generated no interest besides a mention here and there on ANN. List of characters articles easily turn into cruft--if some characters are important (by definition not all characters can be equally important), they can be listed in the main article, just like we do in articles outside of anime/manga.

Keep I was just watching an episode of the show and came here. I see additional information outside of just plot information listed for some of the characters. All major fictional franchises have character list articles, which although sometimes challenged, are always kept. Every single one I'm aware of anyway. I don't see how this one is any different than them. Dream Focus 04:41, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge in a style similar to The Irregular at Magic High School. It would take an expert of the series to condense the list neatly though. DragonZero (Talk · Contribs) 05:18, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are just too many works for this series to have the characters presented neatly on the main article. I commend the work done at The Irregular at Magic High School but you are talking about 4 different works, versus 22 for sword art online. My suggestion is to try to improve the characters article via magazine reviews, reviews, ect... If any of the 22 different works attain WP:GA status then linking the character names would be helpful. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:10, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep, this was just discussed six months ago with the consensus not to merge. Considering the fact that Sword Art Online is one of the most popular Japanese media series of all time, and that the article's 15 sources are already more than can be found on many a BLP, I find the claim "these characters have no shred of notability" to be difficult to believe. Wikipedia has always hosted lists of characters, such as List of Neighbours characters (2016) (TV series), List of Sonic the Hedgehog characters (video game), and List of Marvel Comics characters: V (comics), so the second part of the nomination isn't really true. Also, you have to keep in mind that since this is a Japanese series for a primarily Japanese audience, the majority of coverage is probably not in English. A search for just one of the characters brings up plenty of hits, which can then be sifted through and sorted. Satellizer el Bridget ^(Talk) 10:33, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or selective merge. Contrary to the above, there has been a recent trend of many of these list articles being removed. They are not necessary to understand the information in the main articles, and they're often just totally cluttered and filled with irrelevant junk. If this cannot establish independent notability, it can easily be cut down to the most core characters. TTN (talk) 22:14, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again you are talking about 22 different plot lines. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:34, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And there is nothing in that list that is necessary to understand those plot lines. People will tout the necessity of character lists, but please show me what exactly is so necessary that it cannot be briefly mentioned in a concise section of the main article or simply contextually within plot summaries. Core characters get mentioned in the core summary and minor characters, if relevant, get mentioned in the relevant context. If you have a featured episode list, it doesn't particularly help to have a link to "Secondary Character G" explaining three irrelevant facts. TTN (talk) 00:48, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is simply too much information to jam into the main article, even if you do have the main character how do you explain their role in the 22 plots without confusing the reader? - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:55, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If it's a main character without an article, link them with a redirect to the primary character section of their first work, or if the sub-works each have their own article, simply describe the character in that work's character section while linking back to that primary work. Nothing of value is lost other than a central place to link those redirects, but as I mentioned above, nobody is really going to care about a couple dozen irrelevant secondary and minor characters. What is the necessity? What can be done with the character list that cannot be done with what I have said? There is no difference between a separate article and a primary section in the main article other than the number of irrelevant minor characters found in character lists. TTN (talk) 01:04, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While TTN may gloat about destruction of encyclopedic content, the fact is that characters from a notable fictional franchise (multiple separate fictional works) without a single redirect target are both appropriate and routinely kept. The aberrancies he cites are from poorly-attended, poorly-argued AfDs. Jclemens (talk) 02:36, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's a lot of precedence toward lists of characters formajor fiction franchises (this one has novels, comics, games, 2 TV series, and a theatrical movie, so far). Not only are these lists useful to readers, they help with containment of what might otherwise become clusters of poor stub articles on minor characters. This list, for what it's worth, is actually better than many as it's neither unreferenced nor excessively detailed. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:43, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - ~~A precedence has been set by previous anime's and I don't see a good enough reason to change what is essentially working.~~ meets WP:LISTN. The anime is popular, maybe not as popular as some of the others have noted, but among the thousands of animes released, it is one of the more notable ones. This alone should be enough to warrant a keep. N. GASIETA|talk 00:46, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is a very popular anime and video game series currently. If absolutely necessary, I can dig for sources, but I just cannot believe that we could scrounge up enough sources to meet the WP:GNG between all the games and anime releases, especially with a number of the character having their own individual articles, which I've reviewed in the past, and thought they looked pretty good...

Speedy keep. The French equivalent is a big article with lots of bluelinks, and several good-looking references.

Keep, passes WP:LISTN, and redlinks are not a reason to delete: Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group ... Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable. These seem to be equivalent to state-level voting districts in the United States, which are notable (especially as a set), per WP:GEOLAND. Not sure why this one was picked out for deletion, given that there are 98 other nearly identical list articles (linked at List of cantons of France).

Biography of a Slovak composer and game developer. He's quite active online so he gets Ghits for his accounts on Twitter, Quora, Facebook, Stack Exchange and so on but there's no independent coverage of him in reliable sources. None of the nine references provided are the kind that we can use. The article says he's a game developer but never gives a company he's worked for or a game he's helped to develop. The article also claims that he's been read 2 million times but the reference given is his Quora account which lists about a thousand posts but provides no info about the number of readers.

He is an independent game developer; no evidence that his games have been picked up by the wider community. None of his academic papers appear to have published in a peer-reviewed journal. At least one of his two albums is self-published, and it seems likely that the other one is as well, because I can't find any online presence of Illumidyne Records or of any other record appearing on this label.

ESports in Thailand[edit]

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

Unsourced article says nothing beyond the fact that eSports exist in Thailand in much the same way as every other country (same games are popular, local tournaments are played, they're streamed online), and that the phenomenon in fact "isn’t popular as much". McGeddon (talk) 09:53, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: What exactly is the rationale for suggested deletion in this case? If it's the lack of sources, there are plenty of news articles providing an introduction and overview of the status of e-sports in Thailand.[2][3][4][5][6] Or is it the actual status of e-sports in Thailand itself that is the cause of concern? Or the current shape of the article? --Paul_012 (talk) 10:24, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, perhaps this should have been a merge suggestion, on reflection. The problem is that it's broadly just a content fork from eSports: it's covering the same basic ground in saying that eSports exist, that certain games are popular, that tournaments are played, that gaming websites cover them, that games are streamed online. It's not claiming anything particularly unique about Thai eSports, beyond the names of some local tournaments and YouTube channels. --McGeddon (talk) 10:40, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral – The current quality of an article isn't relevant at all in a deletion discussion. A topic is considered notable and worth having an article on if there are reliable sources documenting it, and they apparently are for this subject. I agree, though, that nothing would be lost if this got deleted. I'd much rather see it improved to actually say something interesting and incorporate sources. Until then, this thing is pretty useless. I don't see a reason to merge, though. ~Mable (chat) 09:33, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Esports: Why is Thailand more important to have a "Esports in this country" article over the United States or Korea, both countries where Esports are massive.

- I think an esports in Korea article would be awesome, to be honest. Creating a esports in the United States would prove rather difficult because of all the US-centric sources. Either way, I don't think 'other stuff exists' is the issue. I agree with that the article in its current state is useless. ~Mable (chat) 11:47, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the following - the four players below all have had lengthy interview with national newspapers or significant articles written about them in addition to more medium length coverage and have a large amount of more brief mentions in more routine match reporting:

Anai Mogani and Anuching Mogani. Clear GNG from google search as evidenced by the below. The fact they are twins has helped them garner a decent amount of coverage.

Anuching, Anai to become the first twins to represent Bangladesh women's football - dedicated article in national newspaper
The unstoppable twins - dedicated article from Dhaka Tribune
Realising Young Dreams - cached page but a lengthy article / interview in a national newspaper
Unrelenting Passion - couple of paragraphs on each squad player

Sanjida Akhtar. GNG indicated by the following english language sources, would expect more in local languages:

Sanjida scores 4.61 article on how the player balances school with international football
Unrelenting Passion - couple of paragraphs on each squad player
Feeling Like The Table Is Shaking: Sanjida

Shamsunnahar. GNG indicated by the following english language sources, would expect more in local languages:

‘I dream of playing in the World Cup’ - lengthy interview with player in Dhaka Tribune
Unrelenting Passion - couple of paragraphs on each squad player

Delete the following: Mahmuda Akter, Masura Parvin, Nargis Khatun, Nazma, Ruksana Begum, Taslima. All Fail NFOOTY as have not played senior international football nor played in a fully professional league. No indication that subjects have garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Of all the players, bar Taslima, who seems to have gained some tangential coverage following an assault on her father, the only source I could find that went into any detail outside of routine match reporting was this one, which is insufficient on its own for GNG. Fenix down (talk) 12:22, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Anai Mogini and Anuching Mogani as those pass GNG, Sanjida Akhter, Shamsunnahar, Sheuli Azim also played in national senior side in 2016 South Asian games. 1, 2, the present national line-up features five players (Sanjida Akhter, Sheuli Azim, Marzia, Shamsunnahar, Maria Manda) from a common district, Mymensingh. Thus they pass the NFOOTY.

Another dedicated article for Sanjida Sanjida in 7th heaven.

Masura Parvin selected for national team 1 2in 2014 but whether she played or not, that is not sure. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 16:53, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure whether these players meet WP:NFOOTY, this indicates that the men's competition at the very least was an U23 tournament, though it is not explicit about the women's tournament. Given the age of some of the girls noted here though, it does seem like a junior competition. Can anyone confirm? Fenix down (talk) 09:01, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Fenix down:, the tournament's wiki page is 2016 South Asian Games – Women's. And it is certainly not U23 tournament as the age of top three goal scorer are 24, 26, 29. Also you can see the age column of tournament team squads. Also, while the Indian Women's football senior team will be fielded in the South Asian Games, the Men's football team will feature U-23 players. (quoted from news article). Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 18:41, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Ibrahim Husain Meraj: I would update my comments above accordingly, however, can you confirm that she has actually played?

Delete Indeed he is the subject of one article in the British tabloid The Sun and that is basically it. Newspapers and tabloids always feature "example citizen" in their stories to get their point across, that makes those persons not notable. Apart from this single article in The Sun there is literally nothing out there on him. He is not a "personality" at all, he is just an example (one of many) used by The Sun to underline their story about teens using mobile phones. I dont even think that WP:SINGLEEVENT does apply, because there isnt even an event at all, he is just a completely non notable person.

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UBreakiFix and had I known this CEO article actually existed, I would've co-nominated it with the company article, since both of them are not only blatantly advertising complete with specifying PR awards and his story about the company, but the history itself consists of only advertising-focused accounts which is self-explanatory; simply for sheer consistency, my searches unsurprisingly found PR and republished PR, which is also self-explanatory. The benefits of this AfD will also be to bar any future attempts since the company article was itself deleted once before and is now salted. In fact, looking at the article closely again, I see one of the accounts, Kellz303 in fact pseudo-acted like a "advertisement removal" account with apparent efforts of removing a few advertising information parts here and there of other articles before letting go of the account, but not before actually reviewing and accepting this article to mainspace themselves and also subsequently starting another advertising article, SolidFire (currently at AfD) themselves....Yet another suspiciously self-explanatory.

Comment Take note that Mokele Mbembe and Burrunjor, also "dinosaur"-like cryptids are both covered in many sources - books, articles, and tribal legends. If that is not enough both have "foot print" left behind. Take also note that despite all that Burrunjor was deleted per an AFD because of lack of notability [7]. Off course, a creature with more reported sighting, more article coverage and even artifacts left would warrant a WP article more than these, right? Kevinjonpalma11 (talk) 23:55, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Merge with Muhuru and Nguma-monene. Considering 3 articles talk about nearly the same creature, in similar contexts, I think that warrants it important enough to be kept. Yilangren (talk) 01:24, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Interestingly, Muhuru is up for deletion too. Maybe you're right, merge, and then delete them both at the same time. Just a suggestion.--J. M. Pearson (talk) 17:07, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A highly speculative creature with no basis in fact, just scrappy hearsay. Even the article concedes, "No physical evidence for the creature exists." if it had even attained a measure of folklore importance that may be different. But a "few" sightings don't seem to raise it above the millions of other such unsubstantiated claims the world is so full of. Wait, I see a ghost! You did too? Let's put it on Wikipedia! Not trying to sound petulant, just making a candid point. Encyclopedic information should not be based on villager tidbits. However, if new evidence shows this alleged creature truly has a place in folklore, then that might be different. But you know what, I'll bet my lunch you never find it. Let's not use Wiki for inventing creatures out of thin air based on some hokey-pokey nonsense. I ask for a delete in the absence of further evidence for any folklore significance or valid scientific evidence of its existence. And one final note, the article's first line asserts the creature's existence as fact. I'd help fix that if I thought it deserved to be kept.--J. M. Pearson (talk) 15:48, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- I'd like to add, even within the speculative realm of cryptozoology, this alleged creature doesn't qualify. A "few sightings" with "no physical evidence" is not even above the worth of a vivid dream. No further evidence can be expected, because the article's own description of the "evidence" itself precludes that possibility. Thanks --J. M. Pearson (talk) 14:32, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In the Cryptid topics, leaving a redlink is clickbait that will result in all of us being back here for AfD rounds 2, 3, 5, 10, and 52. :-P Though speedy is tempting, "no physical evidence" pretty much is the definition of a cryptid.

Weak Keep I was actually a user of this project years ago, back when I didn't have the cash to spare for a special "Xbox Controller for Windows". I was almost certainly directed to it by a gaming news site, because I wouldn't have guessed that the cable could be spliced straight into a USB type A! I'll look around during my lunch break. 157.235.66.80 (talk) 16:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The VGRS search finds mentions by commenters but not even a passing mention by a website writer. A primary source might show WP:EXISTence, but that's about it. Certainly not at the level of detail of the present article. --Izno (talk) 17:12, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As this is driver software, it is not subject to the GNG for Video Games. It seems to fall on the wrong side of WP:NSOFT regardless. Like most niche interest projects, there are many discussions, tutorials, and reviews on relevant forums, but almost no publications. This is a problem with a lot of FOSS projects, too. Regardless, I won't argue WP:ITSUSEFUL or anything. I did find a published tutorial on a site I used to frequent, however:

I wasn't suggesting it needed to meet anything other than WP:GNG. However, if note of the XBCD doesn't even show up on the VGRS search, it's usually bad news outside that bucket of sources. --Izno (talk) 19:32, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I get that, but this controller isn't just used for video games, as evidenced by my link. Their wide availability and low cost makes them desirable for media center PCs and hobby robotics. I ultimately agree with you, though. Reduce, merge, and redirect seems to be the best course of action.

Redirect to 1982 Lebanon War because (a) that's the redirect which was in place from 2007 until the dab page was created last week, and (b) that article includes the words "First Lebanese War" whereas South Lebanon conflict (1985–2000) does not.

Comment, Actually those girls brings revolution in Bangladeshi football, as the country is conservative and women are not used to play football. Those girls became champion AFC under 14 south zone for two times. They became group champion in qualification round for AFC under 17 cup and qualify for the main tournament for first time on the merit. For those reason, the girls get wide coverage in national newspaper frequently. Thus the article fulfills the WP:GNG criterion. They get "Significant coverage" in TV and print media, "Reliable" as many of them are national, well-established newspaper, "Sources" as secondary sources, "Independent of the subject". You can find about 95 news results in google search for Krishna Rani in English and about 170 for Bengali search and also about 39 results in country's leading English newspaper The Daily Star (Bangladesh).

Disagree, Then how does the article fails GNG? In WP:NFOOTY, there is a note that says "Youth players are not notable unless they satisfy one of the statements above, or if they can be shown to meet the wider requirements of WP:GNG." Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 09:48, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The team, as a whole, is notable. The sources provided in the article are more to do with the team rather than Rani as an individual. I don't see how Rani herself meets GNG. Spiderone 10:36, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Under-16 women's team rewarded - further article from same newspaper with significant quotes from player and family
Our very own Queen - Dedicate lengthy article / interview from Dhaka Tribune
Captain Krishna - further lengthy article on player from Bengali media

These are just from the first page of a google search. Additionally there are loads of match reports which can help flesh out this article. To be honest, I'm not sure how these were missed by either @Joeykai: and @Spiderone:. Simply because someone is a junior footballer does not mean they are inherently non-notable. In instances like these it is even more important to follow WP:BEFORE. Fenix down (talk) 11:30, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Fails WP:BIO, WP:AUTHOR and WP:ACADEMIC. Yet one more from the seemingly infinite queue of self-help salespeople. I can find no significant coverage online from WP:RS, just a metric ton of self-promotion and press releases, and a few interviews in local press (e.g. Malibu Times, cited). There's some fairly interesting (mostly negative) discussion of her work by real psychologists on blogs, but again that's not WP:RS. Article was already speedied db-bio once in 2007, and once again yesterday.

Delete and Draft instead and I'm willing to take care of it while there because WorldCat shows over 2,000 library collections and these books are by major publishing companies which is in fact satisfying the authors notability (highest held book is in nearly 900 library alone), so that is improvable, and that is surely a sign of available book reviews and, once achieved with that, this is notable. SwisterTwister talk 06:06, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Good point. I don't understand how an author who is published by such big publishers isn't notable, particularly given that at least one of the books was a bestseller that was translated into foreign languages. https://www.worldcat.org/identities/lccn-n95075001/ Copy Editor (talk) 07:41, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So many books are published by regular publishers that they can't all be notable. They will sell, probably, because of the vastly greater publicity that the publisher can generate, as opposed to the self-published who have to do all the work themselves. But sales are not what Wikipedia works on. I'd think ST is right on this, that more work is needed and a move to Draft space could be beneficial. Peridon (talk) 14:00, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. But what is a draft space? Copy Editor (talk) 21:51, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Different areas on Wikipedia have prefixes to the page names - this page in in the Wikipedia: (or WP:) space. This is for sort of official space. User: is user space, Special: is for odd things that the technically minded know all about (or claim they do...), Template: is for guess what, and articles don't have a prefix because that would confuse visitors even more than than now. Draft: is a fairly recent space, which is for things under construction that aren't yet ready for article space. In Draft: space, anyone can help to build a draft up (though I would doubt that very much of this goes on unless someone like ST offers help here at AfD). The alternative is moving to your userspace (where outside help is even less likely without direct appeal) and that would be to User:Copy Editor/title. In both user and draft spaces, the patrollers can usually only tag for copyvio, attack, advertising or hoax. Using either of these spaces is like using a nursery rather than scattering seeds in the garden. Peridon (talk) 11:48, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I spent a lot of time looking for and finding online sources to support Betty Chambers' notability. I believe that there are more sources and further information in book sources that are not digitized, but I am not able to go to the library and/or track these down at this point. Right now, this woman, who was awarded a Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously, and who was one of the earliest WASP pilots, has 20 citations for what I consider a solid stub article. It's not perfect but I think it passes notability and is now in condition to be Kept. While I agree that possibly the initial draft was not developed enough to be pushed to the mainspace, was part of a large initiative editathon that was done in conjunction with the National Archives, her notability is not in question, especially now. Please advise. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 00:18, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Again I ask, aside from being one of many early female pilots, what is she notable for? Did she go on to set some aviation record, or run for Congress, or star in a movie? Magnolia677 (talk) 01:05, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I am confused here. Are you possibly confusing WASPs with the much larger WACs? The WASP program was highly selective, both mentally and physically rigorous, and was a program that produced pilots in a very short time. Within Chambers' class only 50% even passed. There were not many WASPs at all so it was a huge thing, and for this woman, whose husband was a pilot who died while in service to become a pilot herself -- while the mother of a baby not even a year old -- that is notable. Plus her son was featured in a very popular movie at the time, although I wanted to focus more on her than him. So yeah being a pilot was a big deal and makes her notable. This might be a failure on my part as there are a ton of resources in oral history collections and books on WASPs that would support her notability that I don't have access to or have a privacy lock until January 1, 2017. But for a stub I think this challenge to her notability is overly stringent, if anything has more to do with my inability to establish it than the facts of who she was. I would ask you to reconsider. Also I have asked for help from archival experts so please hold off on the deletion if possible. Again I think this AfD is unduly harsh but I am doing everything I can to address making article better. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 13:07, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

When I nominated this article for deletion, I first looked online to see if her notability could be established through reliable sources. Only then did I nominated this article per WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO, as I didn't feel this bio met the criteria outlined there. Being someone's mother, or graduating from a rigorous training program, generally don't make a person notable enough for a Wikipedia article. It's really nothing personal. Magnolia677 (talk) 14:02, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I never said this was personal. I'm not sure where that comment comes from. This page was created during a GLAM initiative that focused on the gender gap and highlighting archival records from the U.S. National Archives. The resources are within the collections of archival collections so a quick google search is not going to be the indicator or notability. Actually the fact that this is the basis for your decision as to notability is a concern. Not all collections are digitized or discoverable in this way. Wikipedia can establish important tertiary sources like these archival holdings and oral histories. But to rely on a google search for this decision of historical figures, well that is what highlighting National Archives records is all about. Again, I think this should be reconsidered as a measurement of notability. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 16:18, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am working with archivists from NARA and TWU now to gather more information so because this is going to take time I am moving this page to my user space in order to protect the work already done and so I can continue to develop the page. -- Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 16:44, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. This person appears to have co-produced songs for various notable artists, but there are few reliable secondary sources to support biographic notability. The article makes a claim of a Grammy Award nomination, though the source to support this doesn't once mention his name. It seems he was one of many who co-produced a few Grammy nominated songs--barely an indication of notability. The article also lists a hodge-podge of iTunes links, but most of the links don't even mention him. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:53, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - It is a stub article, but he was still Grammy Award nominated, nobody cares about your opinion about him being "barely nominated", he was still nominated regardless, which means that he still meets requirements for him to be notable for Grammy Award nomination. Xboxmanwar (talk) 13:50, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: You don't understand how Grammy Award nominations work, those albums were nominated, which means that all the producers and songwriters on the album are also nominated because of their work on the album, all of the producers and songwriters name doesn't need to be on the nomination, only the artists name needs to be there since they are the main recipient, so they aren't bogus, you can see more information about this process here.

I have asked a few times in this discussion for a source which specifically states that B.A.M. was nominated for a Grammy, but the reply seems to be that because B.A.M. was tangentially involved in the production, they automatically fall under the Grammy nomination umbrella. Was the janitor in the recording also Grammy nominated? Magnolia677 (talk) 10:31, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: Well, since everybody on the album is automatically nominated for the Grammy, that would be plausible. Xboxmanwar (talk) 14:42, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will assert that TGT alone were nominated for the Grammy for the album Three Kings. According to this source, no fewer than 35 people assisted them to achieve this tribute, including:

Andrew Hey, B. Edwards Jr., Black TyProducer, Bob Robinson, Brandon "B.A.M." Alexander, Brandon Hodge, Carvin Haggins, D&D, Damon Thomas, Darius Logan, Devin L. Resnover, Dominique Logan, Don City, Eric Dawkins, Fabbien Nahouwou, Ginuwine, Harry Casey, Harvey Mason Jr., Ivan "Orthodox" Barias, James "JDoe" Smith, Javad "MrKlynik" Day, Javonte Pollard, Jay Valentine, Kenyon Dixon, Kristal "Tytewriter" Oliver, Lonny Bereal, Marcus "Whit" James, Marcus Hodge, Rick Finch, Robert Newt, Tank, The Underdogs, Tim & Bob, Tim Kelly, and Tyrese.

...but the nomination belongs to TGT. Otherwise, there would be some reliable source--maybe a sentence or two on the Grammy website--which says "Brandon "B.A.M." Alexander" was also nominated for this Grammy. It is indeed very awkward to ask those participating in this discussion to assume that all 35 of these people were "Grammy nominated". Magnolia677 (talk) 15:30, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: Read this for more info, but the nomination does not belong solely to just the performer, but to the whole team that helped make the album, you don't need a reliable source or any source for this since they are automatically nominated in the process. Xboxmanwar (talk) 15:36, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The link you provided leads to a large, unsourced section of a Wikipedia article. If the editor of that section had added sources I could confirm its truth; otherwise its circular sourcing.

@Magnolia677: Straight from the Grammy Awards website. Xboxmanwar (talk) 16:05, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the link to a webpage on the Grammy Award website. On that webpage it states: "The Record Of The Year category recognizes the artist’s performance as well as the overall contributions of the producer(s), recording engineer(s) and/or mixer(s) if other than the artist." However, that same website only lists the winners of the Record of the Year, not the nominees. To maintain text-source integrity, this source cannot support that Brandon "B.A.M." Alexander was a nominee for a Grammy. Magnolia677 (talk) 16:36, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: Again, you don't need a whole list of songwriters, producers, etc. that were on that album to be nominated, the citation you put from the FAQ of the Grammy Awards states exactly what it says, to recognize the artist and the songwriters, producers, etc., but the songwriters, producers, etc. don't need to bed listed because once the album is nominated, the crew is nominated, plus it would be a long list to add to. Xboxmanwar (talk) 17:15, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The even bigger issue is the lack of third party reliable sources that cover the subject in significant detail. It fails the WP:GNG - the ultimate standard we're trying to meet here. A Grammy Nom can be a good indicator of notability due to the increased likelihood for sourcing to exist, but it's not a substitute. (And it's probably less of an indicator when we're talking about a tangential production member and not a primary artist.) This is especially crucial because we're dealing with a WP:BLP. The fate of this article is ultimately going to boil down to whether or not there's significant coverage. So far I have not seen evidence of this.

Just to confirm, here's a source that lists Brandon Alexander (B.A.M.) as the producer of Open Invitation: http://www.allmusic.com/album/open-invitation-mw0002206694/credits and one that lists him (as Brandon Hodge) as a composer http://www.allmusic.com/album/three-kings-mw0002557795/credits -157.235.66.80 (talk) 17:29, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that confirms his production credits, but not the question of whether or not that itself proves his notability. I mean, look at the credits - there's over 50 people listed there. I counted around 7 to 8 of them had "Producer" in the title, and another 7 to 8 with "Engineer" in the title. A huge number of people were involved in the production of these releases - a Grammy Nom isn't enough to give a free pass to notability to everyone from the sessions. The fact that no one has produced any sources that satisfy the WP:GNG is telling as well. Sergecross73 msg me 14:21, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

He had a significant role in an album that meets WP:MUSICBIO 8. "Producer" isn't a token role in music (as opposed to its misuse in TV and cinema) - it means "recording artist", which lies somewhere between "director" and "editor". He's the top credited staff on Open Invitation. No one's suggesting that the accountants and vocal cleanup crew need articles, this isn't a slippery slope. 157.235.66.80 (talk) 17:18, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MUSICBIO states that it may indicate notability. The doubt of this though, is, as already mentioned, there were 8 other producers involved as well. We don't know how involved he was in particular, nor can we verify the details because no one can come up with any sources that cover him in significant detail. As I alluded to above, things like MUSICBIO or WP:NALBUMS andWP:NSONGS are considered indicators of potential notability, but the WP:GNG is the actual standard here. The complete failure of the WP:GNG completely squashes out that potential. You'd be better off showing how many features Billboard has done on him or something. Sergecross73 msg me 18:42, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The standard is determined by looking at WP:N. WP:GNG is co-equal with several other guidelines. We also assess Wikipedia notability by looking at various essays, WP:OUTCOMES, and the WP:N nutshell. Unscintillating (talk) 20:21, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and we're currently looking at a WP:BLP with zero third party reliable sources that discuss it in detail. Its currently sourced to a bunch of iTunes listings, and a few articles that don't even mention him by name. As is, there's no way around it - this is not an unacceptable scenario on Wikipedia. Sergecross73 msg me 20:35, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And for what its worth to the AFD closer, the principal account in favor of a "keep" argument was just blocked again for making unsourced claims on a BLP, so its rather clear he doesn't understand the concepts at play here. Sergecross73 msg me 20:43, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Articles in TechCrunch, Reuters (written by staff, not a reprinted press release), and Venture Beat are not press releases. Satisfies WP:CORPDEPTH.--CNMall41 (talk) 01:57, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We have actually established a consensus here at AfD that TechCrunch and VentureBeat have notoriously accepted PR and passed them to be apparent news, and we have also established that they will literally advertise anything about the company, therefore there are some speculative things suggesting it's likely "pay-for news", something churnalism emulates exactly; to be specific all of those contents in those 2 "articles" only advertise the words and information the company wants to say about itself, therefore because we have to question as it is about the independent and substance concerns, and then also if it's literally paid advertising, we cannot accept it.

Also, as noted, the article itself entirely advertises the company as are the listed sources, the history itself shows the advertising and we cannot simply ignore that as if it never existed, because the advertising concerns here largely outweigh any apparent benefits. SwisterTwister talk 02:40, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you mean by "established a consensus here at AfD that [they] have notoriously accepted PR and passed them to be apparent news." I hate to assume but I believe you mean that you and others believe these publications do so. However, my search of WP:RSN found nothing indicating that they are not reliable sources. In fact, I found comments that they do fact checking which is one of the biggest criteria for a source to be considered reliable. Here is also the ethics statement of VentureBeat which says they do fact check.

So let's say they do have a habit of passing off PR as journalism. I am very family with the term churnalism but neither would apply here. Both of these pieces are written by staff writers (one a senior writer and the other is an editor at large). There is no indication on either article that it is promoted or paid for as VentureBeat clearly marks native ads as sponsored content as does TechCrunch as indicated from this tag. Some sources actually do a good job of reporting news. That is why you have to look into these deeper. You also never said anything about Reuters.

Finally, when you state "the article itself entirely advertises the company as are the listed sources" it takes away from the credibility of your argument. Looking at the article, I agree that everything from the "Overview" section down needs to be removed or rewritten. You can easily remove that with one click. However, I am not sure how the introduction paragraph and the history section is advertising the company. Stating facts is simply stating facts. --CNMall41 (talk) 04:32, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And after removing everything We are left with one or two sentense entry on Encylopedia. Is that really a Wikipedia Content. It makes it Directory or PR host which merely such article even created. There is seriously nothing to write about such article on Wikipedia except a paragraph. If we go by GNC for one article, that might be covered by significant media. Wikipedia becomes News distribution network. If it is already covered there. Why you need to write same on an article just passing GNC? Where are the sustainable coverage? as is the case these days. Such articles and references are being misused to build Wikipedia Reputation by such companies. Eg.: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2015-04-08/Op-ed

And definitely as being Commercial media channel, publishing 1 articles for such company does not harm, as clearly influenced by company. because after that one article. The company disappear from press. It is not my guidelines as many think I am creating my own. It is by Wikipedia. News must be sustainable not just once. VentureBeat ethics written on their own website does not make it any better. Techcrunch and venture beat do publish as they are online media like many others, they need lots to publish "I mean every media need lots and lots to publish in media". being encyclopedic notable we need to do more.

I am sorry for sounding rude, @Ligh2021: but your writing is very illegible. I am unsure of much of what you are saying so I don't know how to respond. It sounds like you are unhappy with the notability guidelines which I completely understand. If that is the case, this is something you need to address there, not through AfD. You can nominate as many articles as you want for deletion but it will not change the guidelines for WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH.

Comment - Yes, they simply state facts about the company, and none of that actually leads to any notability; as for the AfD consensus, we have established here, simply look at any recent company AfD closed as Delete, and you'll see we have explicitly seen obviously advertising articles and that's because those 2 websites clearly cater to anyone of the investing and client field who may be interested, therefore we cannot take those as being assuredly independent and not PR-focused; if this was NYT, that may be a different story, but those websites such as TechCrunch and VentureBeat clearly are PR-based, exactly how Forbes is now massively filled with PR advertising articles from either the businesspeople themselves or "special day contributor" (which essentially means it could be anyone from a company employee to a paid PR agent).

Therefore, actually stating that a lot of this will need removal but that the mere fact sections such as overview and history stay, none of that actually establishes notability. To focus again with such sources like the ones above, we have explicitly stated before and found that when an article largely states only what the company itself would know such as its business plans and thoughts and the specific numbers of money it was either paid or given itself, that shows it's clearly PR advertising, essentially a republished PR piece for churnalism; and that's why, because such websites are not focusing with actual news, if the company simply states everything about its own advertising instead.

Once we start compromising with such blatant advertisements, simply because of an apparent "news article" with overspecifics about the company, we start damaging ourselves by then being vulnerable to "Hey, they accepted PR simply because it was masked by another website hosting it!"; for such cases, we have excellent pages such as WP:ADVERTISING, WP:DEL14 and WP:NOT (and WP:IAR at best for still questionable cases).

This article is quite controversial as Tulu Nadu is not a recognized region by Karnataka. Reference sources may be self published and cannot be verified. Also I do not see the notability criteria being met and as to why it should be on Wikipedia. PageImp (talk) 19:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The fact that the region is not an official subdivision of the country is not determinative as to its notability. Compare New England and Scottish Highlands. Tulu Nadu has historical and linguistic notability. See, e.g., Karnataka's Rich Heritage - Art and Architecture: From Prehistoric Times to the Hoysala Period p. 382 ("Tulunadu (South Kanara district and adjacent northern Kerala), was the traditional land of the Alupa dynasty."), The Dravidian Languages p. 158 ("Tulunad (tulunadu), where Tulu is traditionally spoken, is geographically and sociolinguistically compact. Its geographic compactness derives from the natural boundaries that enclose it"). 24.151.10.165 (talk) 20:03, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep

This page should not be deleted. Why?
1. Can article survive on Wiki for more than 12 years if it didn't meet notability criteria, and suddenly someone decides it lacks notability, it baffled me?
2. And the region which has it's own language, culture, history how can someone say it doesn't meet notability criteria?.
2. Is not being "official region" a criteria to consider for deletion on Wikipedia?
3. Or Is not being "recognized" makes it controversial?
4. Is all the articles on wiki are about "recognized" things? So there can not exist an article related to region which is not recognized? Is Tibet a recognized country?

One of the "keep" !votes was made by an IP, and the other looks like a typical fake !vote made by a fanboy. Delete. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 01:44, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems to me we're looking for reliable sources which show that this place is notable. Well, it is referred to as a place in The Hindu, The Times of India, The Economist etc. I suspect that there is a lot more to find in published books, scholarly papers etc. The fact that it is controversial is not a reason to delete. JMWt (talk) 11:05, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "Tulu Nadu" itself seems like a notable historic and linguistic region, but this page cites mostly dead links and pages that reference aspects of the regions which are not specific to "Tulu Nadu" but are rather just characteristics of the constituent regions. While the page looks good and has lots of citations, I wish the sources were better and there was less material based on the underlying regions and more about "Tulu Nadu".Smmurphy^(Talk) 15:44, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ian Mugoya[edit]

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

Delete. Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a media personality and businessman, which just states that he exists and contains no actual claim as to why his existence is encyclopedic. Of the sources being cited, one is a blurb about how good he looks in one of his clothing company's own suits, which reads far more like a fashion blog entry than an actual news story, and the other is just a photograph of him graduating from school -- so neither of them contribute to building a WP:GNG claim, because even the one that has some actual content doesn't have substantive content. As always, neither businesspeople nor television personalities get an automatic inclusion freebie just because they exist; reliable sourcing, supporting a proper claim of notability, must be present for an article to become earned.

Amy Crain[edit]

Crain was Miss Arkansas in 2014. Not only is that about all we know about her that is notable, that is almost all we know about her at all. The coverage is all from either hometown media or from her college paper. This leads to flash in the pan coverage, but nothing lasting that rises above the level of one event.

It must be noted that all of them, every single one, reference Miss Arkansas in 2014, a single event (WP:BIO1E), that does not pass the threshold of notability (also WP:Notability (people) and WP:GNG) for a separate article.

Loren McDaniel[edit]

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

This article is decpetive because it has a very well developed citation body, but lots of weak and reliable citations do not overcome the problems the article has. McDaniel is not notable for anything past being Miss Arkansas, and that alone is not enough to justify an article. The citations are either to press releases and blogs of the competitions, to passing mention in articles about other people winning Miss Arkansas, or to her college paper or home town media. None of this is enough to establish notability for a beauty pageant contestant. My search for additional sources turned up nothing that would add towards passing the general notability guidelines.

Delete: Miss Spirit of Arkansas 2014 or Miss Arkansas is enough to present notability. Not one of the 21 references present anything other than Miss Arkansas. The two references to Miss America, if they were not dead links, would be primary, ----and---- she placed in the top 15. The only actual attempt at notability would be Miss Arkansas so fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO1E. --- Otr500 (talk) 10:02, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It says part 4 in he article, but the title of the article "Munna Bhai Chale Amrika" is perhaps a misspelling of the upcoming third part which seems to have the name: Munna Bhai Chale Amerika (see here or here) so maybe it is a misspelling? There is also a trailer for the third installment of this series on youtube. Coverage of the third part is also not very convincing though, as it is scheduled for 2017 or 2018. Dead Mary (talk) 16:15, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect - an IP editor brought this article out of a redirect, and created it with the AfD template. So he's nominating it for deletion? The user has demonstrated questionable judgment across a number of articles, and has brought numerous redirects back into articles prematurely and in several cases contravening WP:NFF. If this article doesn't get deleted it should be redirected, because he has not demonstrated that principal photography has begun. He's made many sloppy mistakes, so it's also possible he is recreating an existing article under an incorrectly spelled title. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 03:08, 30 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kristen Glover[edit]

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

Glover's one claim to fame is being Miss Arkansas, and that by itself is not enough to establish notability. The coverage is all eiter sources created by Miss America and its affiliates, extremely local coverage, press releases from the university she attended, or passing mention in coverage about the Miss America competition itself.
