The result was delete. As mentioned, the current title isn't suitable for a redirect. But, if anybody wants to create a redirect with a more concise title, go ahead.

  • Redirect. In my opinion it is obviously better to redirect the article than to delete it, probably to List of crossings of the Connecticut River. No reason to antagonize the contributors to the article, and they weren't really obviously wrong to create the article. I see that JJBers was concluding Redirect is the correct outcome already. --doncram 06:33, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

      I didn't see a WP:CCS in there when I added the CSD tag, I still don't see one now. I have no issue with the CSD being declined, it just seemed quite possible that the article might well meet the criteria, saving some time for everyone.

Was PRODed with the rationale "non notable software-- no evidence of significance" which seems fair enough to me given the complete lack of any RS references. It has since been dePRODed by the author with the comment "We object to the deletion. Pragma SSH ClientSuite is a major commercial successful ssh client with thousands of paying customers at Fortune 500 and US Govt/US DoD. The entry will be improved in coming days, thanks for your patience." I a sorry to say that, when I realised that the author shares a name with the CEO of the company that makes this product, my patience pretty much evaporated. The article about the company does not demonstrate notability and is unreferenced too. Its original author also shared a name with a then senior employee of the company. The whole thing smells promotional and, following an (admittedly cursory) search for anything that demonstrates notability, I think both articles need to go. There is some sort off a relationship with Cisco but I'm not seeing much apart from press releases that could source it and notability is not inherited anyway.

  • Delete and salt all name variants I speedied it as well. Then it came back, and it hasn't grown any notability. I couldn't even find category reviews. GNews is three press releases. There is no evidence anyone cares about this software - David Gerard (talk) 23:18, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here are comments from the article author who is a co-founder and current CEO of the company. I (quamrulmina the author) represent Pragma Systems who publishes "Pragma SSH ClientSuite" SSH client package. We were creating wiki entry for it and add to "ssh client comparision" table that is in wikipedia also. We are a legitimate good SSH vendor and this product is used by many for Windows SSH needs.

On the product's notability and Cisco relationship aspects. Pragma SSH ClientSuite is the only Cisco tested and certified RFC 6187 software in the market for SSH access to Cisco devices. Over 4 years partnership of Pragma with Cisco this software was developed. Cisco developed the RFC 6187 compliant SSH on the server side and Pragma developed the client side. US Govt IRS just bought on Sept 29, 2016, a large licence of Pragma SSH ClientSuite to manage their Cisco SSH networks. US DoD, US Army, Canadian Air Force are also big users of Pragma SSH ClientSuite. Oracle Cloud, McKesson, HSBC bank, Hilton hotels and many other companies are large users of Pragma's SSH offerings ( Pragma SSH ClientSuite and Pragma Fortress SSH Server ). US Govt OMB mandates RFC 6187 based 2-factor Govt PIV smart-card based authentication in place of password/SSH public key. Pragma SSH ClientSuite fills the need and that is why Cisco certified us and is promoting our client for use in Cisco networks. Our Cisco-Pragma white paper on 2factor ssh can be found at: http://www.pragmasys.com/products/support/cisco-2-factor

Oracle has OEM licensed Pragma SSH clients and servers for use in Oracle cloud. HSBC bank uses our SSH clients and servers worldwide in over 50 countries. McKesson ( Fortune #6) embeds Pragma SSH servers and clients in their Imaging stations. All these we are talking about paid customers. Thanks. Quamrul Mina. Co-founder, Pragma Systems, Inc.

The result was delete. If one discounts the "per X" opinion by Tomwsulcer, there are only two editors who support keeping the article. Although they make valid arguments about media usage of the term, they fail to convince the substantial majority on the "delete" side, who also make valid arguments according to which the sources do not establish the concept in the way the article presents it, which makes the article OR by synthesis. In response to a concern raised in the discussion, there is no basis in policy for taking any particular holidays into account when closing the discussion.  Sandstein  08:58, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not a term of common use, a bad attempt at equivalency. The article seems to be in response to Israeli settlement, but that is a topic well-covered by reliable sources, whereas this is not. A search on "Palestinian settlement" does get a large number of hits, but nearly all are about an "Israeli-Palestinian settlement", not supposedly illegally built localities in the West Bank.

So, I read the article, and this discussion, and I admit that although there is an enormous amount of illegal (without building permits) Arab construction in the Palestinian territories and in Israel proper, I had not seen this term used. But there's this great thing called google that lets you check assertions, including the assertion that the only settlement described in these terms is Bab al-Shams, or the assertion that this term is "invented" by article creator.

You should read your sources. The first NBC article never once calls a Palestinian locality a settlement outside of the title. An opinion column by Caroline Glick is not a reliable source for anything other than the opinion of Caroline Glick. The Telegraph peace never once describes any Palestinian locality as a settlement. Bab al-Shams has been covered by Huldra and has an article. The Times of Israel attributes the idea that Palestinians are building settlements to Regavim (NGO), a pro-settler group that is not a reliable source. In sum, none of your articles support your claim. Not a single one. nableezy - 16:35, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I urge editors to read the articles I cite; where I put "quotation marks" it is because I am quoting material that is in these articles. The phrase is in use by major news agencies (replace with media: the phrase is in use by major news media). The fact that you dislike Caroline Glick does not alter the fact that she is a notable figure in the IP conversation; her use of this term is therefore significant. WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT is not a valid argument.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:43, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It is not in use by major news agencies, and you shouldnt mislead people like that. When an opinion writer says something its not a news article, sorry to tell you. When a news article quotes Regavim as calling something a Palestinian settlement, that is the news agency attributing that phrase to Regavim.

  • Delete: There's already an article for Rawabi, so most of the above links are useless; anyway they do not have anything to do with the subject of the article. "Settlements" in English can simply refer to a place where people live. Rawabi is simply a planned city in the West Bank - there's nothing really special about it. "Israeli settlement", on the other hand, is typically used for a specific kind of settlement, namely on occupied territories. This page is simply a not-too-subtle attempt at false equivalence with Israeli settlement. Some of the links above can potentially be used on the Rawabi page. There are some people who derisively call Rawabi a "Palestinian settlement" but that's simply a criticism connecting the two concepts and not a literal description. Kingsindian   18:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, because reading the article or the sources above shows that the term has been applied to a number of settlements built by and for Palestinian settlement, including, but not limited to, Bab al-Shams, and sources above describe these settlements and failed attempts to build settlements as a political response by Palestinian activists to the Israeli settlement movement. In other words, the use of this term in RS goes well beyond Rawabi.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:36, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The sources do not do that. You take a single mention of a "settlement" from a caption in an article that repeatedly calls it a "suburb" and never once in the prose of the article says anything about a Palestinian "settlement". I really do not understand why bluster when anybody can check the links and see you are not being honest about their contents. nableezy - 18:53, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The Bab al-Shams stuff has nothing in common with Rawabi. The former was a temporary tent encampment, which lasted all of two days. The latter is a big planned city. The fact that you're Googling "Palestinian settlement" which returns results for two totally unrelated things is an indication of the uselessness of this page. Rawabi is not a "resistance village" set up by activists - its sponsors include Qatar and was promoted by Tony Blair. Kingsindian   19:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What Rawabi has in common with the several "resistance villages," beyond the shared label "Palestinian settlement," is reliably sourced goal of building new settlements as a direct, political response to the the building of Israeli settlements.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:51, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
2 articles linked below from a guy at the University of Oslo say it does. Kingsindian, Nableezy, you need to run some searches, because there is a lot out there - much of it from anti-Israel activists and academics, some from Palestinian sources, but you won't find it unless you look.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:15, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Interesting pro-Palestinian source (now added to article) describing these Palestinian settlements as resistance villages. "The resistance villages are a kind of Palestinian 'settlement' on Palestinian land occupied by Israel. Activists arrive in an area of the West Bank controlled by Israel and set up a tent camp and then start renovating the area and building simple infrastructure, such as paths, , latrines and sheds. They also set up a village council and assert their right to do this because the land is recognized to be Palestinian according to international law and UN resolutions. These villages are a way of asserting ownership of the land. The first one, Bab al-Shams, the Gate of the Sun, was established in an area east of Jerusalem that is slated for extensive illegal Israeli settlement building. The initiative was widely covered in the media and very popular, since it meant taking the initiative away from the Israeli state and turning the practice of settlements against them. Bab al-Shams in turn inspired four similar initiatives across the West Bank, including Ein Hijleh village outside Jericho in January–February 2014, where the activists managed to stay on the land for one week before they were forcibly evicted by the Israeli military. In all of these initiatives, political and ideological differences were put aside in order to concentrate on the common enemy. Several young Fatah activists participated in the planning and execution of both Bab al-Shams and Ein Hijleh. Important features of these villages are...."

Again, please read what you cite. The only time it says anything about a Palestinian settlement is:

The independent youth are certainly well attuned to the culture around them. Their activism is simple, concrete and popular among Palestinians. One example is the recent ”settlements,” like Bab al-Shams, that establish Palestinian ”facts on the ground”. Another is the ”Open Shuhada Street” campaign, run by the Youth Against Settlements group, which each year gathers thousands of demonstrators to protest against the permanent closure of Shuhada Street in central Hebron as a result of the presence of Israeli settlers in the center of the city.

Notice how it has "settlement" in quotes? Compare to when it discusses Israeli settlements:

On January 11, 2013, a group of about 200 Palestinian activists, most of them youths in their 20s and 30s, erected tents on a piece of land between Jerusalem and the West Bank settlement of Maale Adummim.

Notice how there are not any quotes around "settlement" there? nableezy - 20:37, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly I saw that; I cited it with precision. The use of quotations marks in this manner is a familiar style in academic articles. It does not negate the fact that this young scholar discusses the phenomenon of Palestinian settlements in detail in two longish articles.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:43, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It doesnt actually, it uses the term once, and through quotes shows this is not a typical way of discussing the topic. Quotes are used to say this is not my word by the author. nableezy - 20:55, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In your nomination, you assert that "this is not" "well-covered by reliable sources," a not implausible nomination rationale. Now you are arguing that... what, precisely are you arguing? I have brought academic article that discuss this phenomenon in detail, and so many sources from RS media that I had actually begun to think that over sourcing would make this discussion so long that it would be off-putting to editors coming to the page, although, certainly, there are more RS I have not yet brought.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:11, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Youve done no such thing, the academic article does not in any way discuss this phenomenon in detail, please dont distort things. It is quite off-putting. nableezy - 21:27, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"The academic article"? As though I had brought only 1 article? There are are in fact 2 articles by Høigilt alone, both with substantive consideration of this phenomenon are 2 articles. In addition to an interesting parsing of the concept by Arpan Roy in City Journal and a the detailed consideration in Foreign Policy all linked above. That's quite a lot of scholarly consideration for a relatively new phenomenon. I hope that editors will look at these, in addition to the numerous articles in the daily press linked above, to which I would like ot add an intelligent, reported article in the Daily Mail (yes, I know it prints lots of nude women - British papers do that) here: [22] Now I suggest that we both back off, and allow time for other editors to look at the sources.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:59, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Except they dont do that. The Foreign Policy article says that opponents to a specific localaity call it a Palestinian settlement. That is not in any way a detailed consideration of the supposed topic of this article. You cant take a throw-away mention or an article quoting somebody as something being a settlement and pretend that this is a "detailed consideration". That is quite dishonest. nableezy - 22:32, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Your perspective. I read it too, it goes into great detail detail about the construction of a new city that, switching out "Israeli" for "Palestinian" could describe any of the larger Israeli settlements, right down to the internecine politics: "Fellow Palestinians have denounced it as a pet project of the Israelis and Americans. Some even describe it derisively as a 'Palestinian settlement'..."E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:03, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to closing editor. I now see that this article has been here since January 2103, but was only brought to AFD on the first day of Rosh Hashanah. I wish to point out that many Israeli and Jewish editors do not log in for 48 hours over Rosh Hashanah, and that many will be too busy to log in between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which comes exactly 7 days later. This is, in other words, probably the precise period when editors likely to do the work necessary to source and improve this page, editors with the local knowledge useful to assessing notability, and editors with the ability to search and bring Hebrew sources are least likely to be editing.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:16, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete in its current form. There is in fact a phenomenon that could be the subject of a useful article, but it would not be called "Palestinian settlement" (an entirely phoney attempt at parallel with "Israeli settlement") and it won't include localities like Rawabi that are 100% different in size, in support, and legality under Palestinian, Israeli and international law. Some of the sources in the article, such as Høigilt's paper, could be used to create a small but useful article on the topic of Palestinian protest outposts, but this isn't it.

  • Keep and rename - certainly passing WP:NOTABLE, though under current title the article is a stub, because there is only a minor organized "settler movement" among Palestinian Arabs. The phenomenon of land takeover and squatting is however an integral part of the Arab-Islamic culture in the region for centuries and took an organized style across the Arab League throughout the 20th century. We should consider a wider scope for the Palestinian land takeover under a slightly different title.GreyShark (dibra) 10:51, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per Kingsindian or delete in current form as per Zero. E. M.Gregory just tried to define Rawabi, a newtown built in Area A, as a settlement built by Palestinians (sometimes with external support) in areas of the West Bank under Israeli rule and in violation of Israeli military or civilian law,' when in fact Rawabi is in Palestinian territory, built with a Palestinian permit, and Israel has no authority there. Worse, he had Regavim in mind, because he referred to Rawabi as Regavim (NGO), an organization dedicated to the destruction of any Palestinian housing that does not have an Israeli building permit. which is in Area C means virtually the whole of the Palestinian infrastructure. The article is clearly manipulating an encyclopedia to create a propaganda parity between Israeli settlement (moving from the state of Israel into an occupied territory to settle it) and Palestinian housing development (building on one's traditional land, without moving anywhere).

  • Keep as per E.M.Gregory.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:26, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Are we in a far-right Israeli bizarro world where Palestinians build "illegal outposts" and "settlements" on land that's not theirs? Even the heading of the article's only section ("Illegal Palestinian settlements") is pure propaganda. But while the article could be made more neutral in tone, it still lacks notability. What are "Palestinian settlements"? Protest-camps that get demolished in a week's time? Or Rawabi, which is a city being built on land that even Israel considers Palestinian, i.e. Area A of the West Bank?
I don't understand Greyshark's argument about the "phenomenon of land takeover and squatting" that's been an "integral part of the Arab-Islamic culture in the region for centuries" and which "took an organized style across the Arab League throughout the 20th century", or how that argument is relevant to this article; it looks like a political statement trying to link the medieval Arab-Muslim conquests and 20th-century Baathist Arabizaton efforts to a form of Palestinian non-violent activism. Meanwhile, E. M. Gregory's efforts to find whatever source containing the words "Palestinian" and "settlement" amounts to grasping at straws and border-line OR. If someone wants to create an article (or section) about the building of makeshift protest camps in the West Bank, which is apparently an embryonic form of non-violent Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation and settlement building in that territory, that's another story. --Al Ameer (talk) 03:47, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Let's be clear - PLO's Palestinian nationalism and Ba'thism are pretty close ideologies, though of course differ among various branches. However, symbolism (flag etc.) and ideology are almost the same. Finally, when i created the article Palestinian settlement, the idea was to describe "building of makeshift protest camps in the West Bank", named "Palestinian settlements" by some, which is a sidelined but still notable phenomenon. If you have a better idea for proper naming i'm sure i will consider to support it (maybe Palestinian protest camps?).GreyShark (dibra) 08:34, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that article is now strongly sourced and tightly focused on what the According to the leftist, anti-settlement, aggressively British newspaper Peace News, describes as a movement "to create ‘facts on the ground’ by founding a Palestinian settlement on privately-owned Palestinian land." Palestinian settlement was a term used and apparently coined by the Palestinian anti-Israel activists who created ththe Palestinian settlement settlement movement as a means of anti-Zionist activism.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note. Booth's article on Susya nowhere calls it a Palestinian settlement, and will have to be removed. All you need to do is read the page on it: it has been settled since the 1880s, Ruth Kark Israel's foremost authority on these issues, recognized their legal title to the land on which their dwellings were located, before they were blown up, bulldozed and destroyed by the IDF on several occasions. So this is Regavim POV pushing and WP:SYNTH. By the way, that nonsense that building in Area C violates the Oslo Accords is a pure fiction. Nishidani (talk) 19:25, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
EMG, please desist from making sections all over this page. Put all your comments in one place, except replies to others. This article has nothing to do with reality. Also you keep misrepresenting sources: the Peace News source (not an WP:RS by any stretch of the imagination, but let's leave that aside) says the following. The purpose of the Bab al-Shams (‘gate of the sun’) occupation was to create ‘facts on the ground’ by founding a Palestinian settlement on privately-owned Palestinian land (my emphasis). The sense of "settlement" here is the dictionary sense: "a place where people live". This is not equivalent to Israeli settlements in occupied territory. It is absurd to compare the two and blatantly violates WP:NPOV. If you want to describe construction in Area C, there is already an article for that: Area C (West Bank). There's also Regavim (NGO). Do it in those places in an encyclopedic manner, not like this. There's also no connection between Bab al-Shams (which was a tent encampment lasting two days) and Susya. It is pure WP:SYNTH. Kingsindian   06:01, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That is a possible solution, but not a good one, imo. Firstly, the topic of the article is ill-defined: it keeps changing on whatever EMG manages to come up with using Google. Secondly, there are already articles on Susya and Bab al-Shams - the latter should be deleted, but oh well. Thirdly, the topic is WP:SYNTH. Mercifully, Rawabi has been removed from the article, but for some random reason Susya has been added. There is little connection between Bab al-Shams and Susya. The former was a protest camp lasting two days, while the latter is an already existing community. The whole framework is flawed and WP:TNT is the way to go. Kingsindian   10:58, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I could go with "Palestinian protest camps" if Bab al-Shams is merged into it, since otherwise I don't think there would be enough material for an article. The topic would not include al-Bustan, or Susya, certainly not Rawabi, nor random houses built without permits. Zerotalk 12:47, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed Susya, which is patently absurd. That article was unbalanced by a sock assuming the role of spokesman for Regavim (it should re reverted to the state prior to his interference). The record is clear. It has been in continuous habitation since at least the 1880s, with title. They lived in the archaeological ruins, underground; they lived in local shepherd dwellings and caves; they have lived in tents and huts, and refused to budge, despite endless demolitions and being trucked at gunpoint away. Since I'm working north West Australian aboriginal articles, it would be the same as calling aboriginal dwelings 'settlements' because they were driven, shot, and harassed off their native land for a century by 'settlers'. In any case, some of the sources there, Booth, do not speak of 'Palestinian settlement' and had to go.Nishidani (talk) 13:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Getting people to agree with the deletion is what I want to see. That justifies my reasons, and makes deleting the page worthwhile. It's a sense of fulfillment. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 01:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And might I add, that if anyone deleted your proposed deletion tag, nobody could post the same tag again? You never know who might do that. According to the PROD page, "Any editor (including the article's creator) may object to the deletion by simply removing the tag; this action permanently cancels the proposed deletion via PROD."
That means even trolls could remove it if they so desire, leaving AFD as the only option for deletion. AFD is a much better way of handling this, so that nobody could trample with the proper deletion process. By the sounds of it, you honestly sound like you're in a hurry to get rid of this article. What's the big rush? I could wait three more days to see it get shut down, and I'm pretty sure those that were and will get involved in this AFD could make reasonable, strong points to explain why this article deserves to be deleted. --Sk8erPrince (talk) 03:49, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No indication that this organization is notable. I had intended to clean up the largely unreferenced article based on reliable third-party sources but had to conclude that those sources simply do not cover the organization in any detail, causing severe verifiability issues with possible BLP concerns (especially since this article apparently was used to target specific individuals without reliable sources backing up the allegations). The best sources are two pieces of local news, neither of which provide much information on the group itself. Note that this book took its content from us and is not an independent source.

Delete - In Mahabharata her name was never mentioned there she refered as vaishya women. Thus there is no need of a article in her name. The name here is used it is taken from folkfore. It is not the only name what folkfore state about her. There are other name also like: Suvali,Sukhda etc. Sukhda is most popular among this name.

The books of photos might be notable, but there is no substantive coverage of this author at all. This article appears to be brought here from Memory Alpha. That's where it belongs. Guy (Help!) 11:18, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Given the statement that the book series itself might be considered notable; it seems to logically follow that the author of a notable work would then be considered notable as well by virtue of being the creator of the titles. However, a Google search on the author's name does reveal mention and/or quotes in a number of well recognized media sites/news sources including The Telegraph here, USA Today here, the pair of io9.gizmodo.com articles cited in the proposed Gerald Gurian Wikipedia article itself, and the IMDb website reference where the personality is noted to have made an appearance in a recent Smithsonian documentary on Star Trek here. As well, there is further significant coverage of the author and his works (including a Bibliography that lists 8 separate published bodies of work to which this individual contributed) on Memory Alpha here as noted by JzG. It might be favorably argued that this person is well known within the large Star Trek memorabilia collecting community and some portion of the fanbase.
It should also be noted that Gerald Gurian, aside from being listed hundreds of times in the pages of author Marc Cushman's These Are The Voyages - TOS trilogy for his rare photo contributions to that book series, Gurian is also referred to as 'Star Trek historian and archivist' (Volume 3, pg. 104), 'Star Trek archivist and curator of startrekpropauthority.com' (Volume 3, pg. 126), 'Star Trek archivist and prop curator' (Volume 3, pg. 147), and 'Star Trek archivist' (Volume 3, pg. 298 & 424 & 587)within the work and quoted extensively on pages 104, 126, 147, 298, 424, and 587 of the third volume in the series. The entire approx. 2,100 page trilogy is regarded by many as the definitive historical work on the making of the '60s era Star Trek television series.
Additionally, in the Foreword to the second season book authored by Gurian, which was written by Academy Award and Emmy Award winning production artist Doug Drexler, Mr. Drexler refers to Gurian as "the Library of Congress for on stage Star Trek" on page x.
So, given that this multiple book author has been quoted/reported on multiple times in international media, included in a Smithsonian television documentary on Star Trek, interviewed and referenced on multiple occasions in an award-winning history book series on the '60s show, and discussed in exemplary terms by a very prominent Star Trek production artist - could this not cumulatively be considered as "substantive" coverage.

Notability is not inherited. You added sources like PR Newswire, which is not independent. This looks more and more like an autobiography. Guy (Help!) 22:19, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The PR Newswire article documented a press release issued by General Motors Corporation - which is a multinational, automobile manufacturer and an independent entity not under the control or influence of Star Trek author Gerald Gurian. A google search employing the same title of the PR Newswire story resulted in numerous matches from other sources. So, in consideration of your concern, the citation in this Wikipedia article has been changed to the story found on www.autoblog.com; in the hopes that it will appropriately be regarded as an independent source. Concerning the comment that Notability is not inherited, does that not assume the notable source is pre-existing or independent and unrelated to the person/object seeking association with it; as opposed to this situation where the individual is the creator of the notable work. It is agreed that simply befriending someone famous or of royal heritage does not confer that status on the new individual, if he/she possesses no other meritorious qualifications. Tosresearcher (talk) 23:43, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So you changed a poress release to a blog? OK. you don't get this Wikipedia thing, do you? What's your connection to the subject? It's rare for someone with so little experience of Wikipedia to create such a long article. Guy (Help!) 06:41, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you could kindly provide a more meaningful elaboration on your remarks / apparent objections to the subject matter contained in this proposed article; that would sincerely be helpful. You initially charged that Mr. Gurian was not the focus of substantive coverage at all; and so I expanded the article to include multiple newspaper and book references to him, as well as writings by a highly celebrated Star Trek production artist. This was done purely to show evidence of greater notability. Your response seems to entirely dismiss this, and focus on an assertion that one press release which was cited is not "independent". This seems particularly perplexing ... are you suggesting that Mr. Gurian controls the press releases of General Motors, or do you doubt the historical accuracy of the citation that this individual received an engineering award from the automotive company? My intent in listing the citation was merely the desire to fact check some of the biographical information entered in the Career section of this proposed article - that I copied from the biography on a book cover; rather than replicate the content from the book cover entirely without any attempt to fact check. A more detailed explanation of your dismissal of the significance of the added newspaper coverage, as well as the meaning of your "not independent" concern with a corporate press release, would be appreciated. You've also honestly ignored my "transfer of notability" query. To rephrase it, you seem to suggest that an artist can not be considered notable based on the notability of his creations. So, for example, does this mean that you feel the Wikipedia article on Ludwig van Beethoven should be deleted since, none of the significance or notability of any of his musical compositions can be transferred to him personally? I do admit that I am a newcomer to editing Wikipedia; and am anxious for a more meaningful elaboration on your objections, as opposed to just additional unflattering statements or suggestions of inappropriateness. It was not my intent to pollute Wikipedia with undeserving content. If an individial is considered by the Smithsonian institute as being worthy of inclusion in a documentary, and is quoted extensively in a highly regarded history book on Star Trek as well as by international media, I truly do not comprehend the grounds for your persistent objections to an article on someone you say has authored a book series that might be considered noteworthy. Tosresearcher (talk) 07:52, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Read WP:BLP1E. Writing a marginally notable book (if it is indeed such, I remain unconvinced) does not confer notability on the writer. This is, bluntly, fancruft. Guy (Help!) 23:33, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Regarding BLP1E, which single event are you asserting that this individual's claim on notability is being based upon? Is it:
- his inclusion as a Star Trek rare memorabilia collector in the Smithsonian television documentary, or
- his creation of large 600+ article fan site that documents the Art and Production history of the Star Trek franchise, or
- his contributions to a half-dozen notable published works on Star Trek (listed at memory-alpha) in an editorial/photo contributor capacity, or
- his identification as a Star Trek historian/archivist and multiple references/interviews included in the pages of the Saturn-Award winning Star Trek history book by Marc Cushman, or
- his authorship of the Season One volume of 'To Boldly Go', or
- his authorship of the Season Two volume of 'To Boldly Go', or
- his multiple mentions/quotes in major international newsmedia such as The Telegraph and USA Today, or
- the fact that he is the recipient of a prestigious engineering award from General Motors Corporation (which you seem to be unconvinced actually took place.)?

Also, classifying 'Star Trek' as "an obscure branch of popular culture" that is "of importance only to a small population of fans", as you seem to be attempting to assert with your use of the term fancruft, seems to "just not get this Star Trek thing" using your own phraseology. In response to the question "How many fans does Star Trek have?", which I just googled, Answers.com has the response "To Date Star Trek has over 40 million fans worldwide (40% recorded from America)". I can not attest to the accuracy of this figure; but I am confident that someone who believes it to be "an obscure branch" is clearly in error. Perhaps you might enjoy reading this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_influence_of_Star_Trek or you could use your cellphone to confer with a friend who is more literate on the Star Trek phenomenon (and you might thank Star Trek for helping to inspire that device). There appears to be many, many pages within this Wikipedia devoted to Star Trek content, and just this single page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek appears to have about 10,000 views per day - which might give you some impression of the popularity of the subject matter. (Extrapolating, that's 3.65 million views annually.)

Finally, you do realize that we are engaging in this discussion in a non-twitter environment, so you should feel free to exceed 140 characters when generating your responses. It seems as if your personal entertainment tastes or lack of affection for Star Trek and/or science fiction might be clouding your judgement here. Tosresearcher (talk) 01:49, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, I've discovered that, after doing a bit of research within Wikipedia, every single episode produced during every season of filming for all the different years that the 5 Star Trek television series were broadcast (= a total of 28 years/seasons of programming) has its own separate Wikipedia page. That means over 700 different pages dedicated to summarizing just the episodes themselves ... not including prominent actors pages or other pages somehow associated with different aspect of the franchise. Wouldn't this establish beyond any doubt that user JzG's assertion of fancruft could not be more incorrect and inappropriate? Tosresearcher (talk) 03:52, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Tosresearcher, Your major hurdle here is that currently Gurian doesn´t seem to be WP:NOTABLE in the WP-sense, so take a hard look at WP:GNG. Now, forget wikis/usergenerated (Memory Alpha), for this discussion all blogs, his own websites, and also, passing mentions like [23]. IF the article survives some of this could be of use, but right now it´s irrelevant. The book may be WP:notable or not, but per WP-logic, that doesn´t mean the author is automatically notable in himself. Of the sources currently in the article, [24] is the one that helps your case, but far from enough. You need stuff like that, only more and better. Until that happens, this article shouldn´t be on Wikipedia. You could try asking for input at the talkpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Trek.

Thanks for your thoughts, Grabergs Graa Sang, but my initial goodwill and esteem for this website has been greatly diminished by my opening encounters with small minded, arrogant admins and their mean-spirited cohorts. For example, just Google the userid JzG who started this deletion request, and see the hatred on the web for him at the website Encyclopedia Dramatica (which lists his long history of profane behavior on Wikipedia, indeed along with its own profanity). And you'll be amazed and ask yourself how in the world could this environment be allowed to exist with no meaningful oversight.

  • Userfy for the time being. I'll readily acknowledge I was canvassed but believe my opinion shouldn't be discounted for that. Agree with Gråbergs Gråa Sång - the canvas exposure was very well written BTW - great care should be taken with COI if applicable. While at first blush we have an obvious fail of notability, hence no keep from me, the new editor should have some time to determine this for him/herself. Allowing a userfication would allow for that at minimal risk. It may be userfied into my userspace if there are any concerns about allowing it as a backdoor article / not allowing its' presence forever, or to the editor's if not. I'd work with the editor (Tosresearcher willing) and we'll see if we can polish it to Notablility or take it down. As to the other, JzG is sometimes perceived as less than a huggable cuddly, and I myself sometimes wonder if his two heads conflict with each other.... but he's one of the best Admins WP has IMO. There are other Dispute Resolution mechanisms available for the user conflict and it doesn't change the listing here as I'm sure it was done without malice by JzG. Who knows, though, I might be biased to both Trek and HHGG grounds on the article, the admin, and everything. LaughingVulcan Grok Page! 12:22, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Looking carefully at the article's reference, I do not believe that the criteria for notability is met. Sources are thin and do not amount to significant independent coverage in reliable sources. Gnome de plume (talk) 12:57, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep is what I say, tentatively, although open to a merge suggestion, say merge to something like List of StarTrek fan authors. I'd like some StarTrekkers to give some insight on how Gerald Gurian ranks among StarTrek authors/fans, but it sounds like GG is up there and the StarTrek world is big and even "important". I would think top 10 authors in the area, say, should be individually notable, and that anyone in top 50 would be list-item-notable. Of course the sources are going to be within the StarTrek fan world; I don't expect they would be New York Times articles.
FYI, I saw notice of this AFD by Tosresearcher's complaint post at User talk:Jimbo Wales. I bow to new editors generally, and I tend to sympathize with new editors' perceptions of unfairness in Wikipedia's processes (it is in fact _reasonable_ to complain, in general, about being hauled to AFD), and I think we should not let the fact of their complaining be held against this editor and this article. I wish they would tone it down though and not trumpet what some website says negatively about one editor.
Per some comment(s) above, one or more of Gerald Gurian's books is agreed to be notable. If so, then consider the article to be a combo article about the book and the author (or require it to be adapted a bit to cover the book more), and then it would seem peevish to insist on deleting this. Adapt it, keep it, rather than seem to be punishing. Can some editors help adapt the article to cover more about the book(s) by this author? And comment about what is required for the book(s) to be considered notable. The book(s) have multiple reviews. --doncram 13:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. I reworked the article into this version featuring the photography book series first and the author second, which I think works better. So "Keep" although a rename/move is appropriate. --doncram 13:42, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate your efforts Doncram, but trying to hang an article about the author on a claim that one of his works was notable just seems really awkward. If a book is notable, then we should have an article on the book rather than trying to shoehorn that into an article about an otherwise non-notable person. Fyddlestix (talk) 14:44, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming that several legitimate, mainstream reviews can be mustered, a rewrite from this angle which also includes author information might get us all where we need to go, with notable content added and the encyclopedia expanded. As an aside, I found the whinging about this AfD nomination at Jimbotalk to be more than a little ridiculous. Carrite (talk) 15:42, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Carrite, I do appreciate your good faith insights in this discussion, but I must stress that I don't feel my "whining", as you suggest, could be termed "ridiculous". I sincerely believed I'd given multiple independent reasons/events why Gurian might be considered noteworthy in my proposed article (and even submitted a list I composed with eight points at the top of this discussion); which, in all honestly, Usr JzG dismissed out of hand without the courtesy of an explanation and insisted Gurian might be notable for a Single Event (I believe he referenced BLP1E). To me, there are truly eight, as multiple book authorship or a television appearance or multiple newspaper appearances or quotes in highly respected history book series on Trek or a prestigious engineering award, etc. are not negligible things. I think it's quite uncommon for a person to be the recipient of all these things. Plus, I was concerned with JzG's attempt to trivialize or negate the validity of my citations without any decent explanation why. For example, I still don't understand why a Press Release from a multi-billion dollar corporation like General Motors attesting to the fact that it bestowed a significant internal engineering award on Gurian can not be considered a valid reference/citation. Do people here believe that Gurian - who was/is obviously a lower level employee, not an executive at GM - controls the content of the Press Releases of that company? I can certainly understand how if Gurian himself had issued a Press Release claiming he'd received such an award; then that would not seem independent. When I attempted to change the citation from the GM Press release to an article on some general autoblog I googled, which was posted on the net by some automotive enthusiast that could not possibly (I imagined) be associated with Gurian or GM; JzG again immediately dismissed this action with some snide remark that clearly implied ... oh, you've substituted garbage for more garbage and you don't understand anything about Wikipedia. Thus, I sincerely feel I am not being "ridiculous" to suggest that my initial good faith attempts to compose an article here were not met with civility. Regarding JzG, I thought "who is this individual, to be so dismissive and uncivil like this and be an apparently powerful admin?". So I Googled his username and found an amazingly hated-filled, profanely ranting page about him on the net. So, if his actions have so enraged someone to go through the bother of producing such an article, that certainly can't speak to a universal affection for this particular admin, can it? And the hate page claimed JzG used excessive profanity in his discussions at Wikipedia and posted links. I admit that I just clicked on a single link, not all, and indeed found a rather offensive outburst by JzG on some talk/discussion page. Which seemed to suggest to me that perhaps my initial unfavorable view of JzG might be warranted. And I note that immediately after I "whined" about JzG, as you suggest, the very next person to make a post on Jimbo's talk page issued a more severe complaint about this same admin. I'm certainly not perfect, but I honestly never spout profanity / curse words when I write or even in my spoken conversation. There is never a situation where someone need resort to spewing filth to make his argument. That is how I was raised. So I honestly don't feel my initial vocal protests over JzG are entirely unwarranted. However, I do see that, based on the multiple, clear Delete assessments posted about my article in these discussions by other seemingly unbiased, good faith members here -- that I truly must have underestimated the notability threshold that the subject of a new article here must surpass. (It does amaze me that someone who appeared on TV, international media, quoted in books and an author of multiple books, and is the focus of multiple articles on the memory-alpha wiki etc. is so hastily termed completely irrelevant here. That just boggles my mind. I would not have composed this proposed article if I had not sincerely felt the subject matter was appropriate.) Thanks again for sharing your insights, and if JzG blocks me for sharing my honest perceptions, that is fine. As I've said previously, I have sadly lost considerable esteem for this place by virtue of such a truly uncivil welcome. Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 18:31, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if my assessment of your escalation rubbed you wrong. Perhaps this is cultural, Wikipedians do not like (and frequently refuse to have) the same debate in multiple venues. From a new article to an Articles for Deletion debate to Jimbotalk to rail against a "corrupt" (your word) administrator to the Foundergod is an all too neat, very tiresome escalation. But let us let that be. Newcomers to WP misunderstand the deletion process, which is actually one of the more rational, reliable, and predictable aspects of Wikipedia. Consider AfD a sort of traffic court, in which the most common verdicts are being released unscathed, largely immunized against future prosecutions — or the death penalty. It is a tough neighborhood. Essentially, once challenged, defenders of an article must demonstrate the existence of multiple, independent, published sources of presumed reliability dealing substantially with the subject of the article. Press releases? Not published. Most blog posts? Unable to demonstrate presumed reliability. What we are all looking for here — and I say this without hostility and with a desire to preserve what is preservable and to defend what is defendable — are mainstream newspaper articles or significant book mentions or academic journal articles dealing substantially with Mr. Gurian.
Come up with 3 of these, and life is golden, because "notability is not temporary" as we say, and the subject will have run the gauntlet and emerged unscathed. Short of that, we are in damage mitigation mode. It doesn't look to me, in a cursory glimpse at the internets, that such sources exist. What I advocate is that the article be kicked back to you to see if you can get to the place where notability requirements are satisfied approaching the matter from another angle. If Mr. Gurian's BOOKS are covered substantially in multiple, independent, published, presumably reliable sources, that's the way out of the maze. If they aren't, chalk it up to a fair cop by the traffic officer on the beat and move along to your next topic. Carrite (talk) 02:34, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your valuable insights, Carrite! Just a question now, with regard to the notability of Mr. Gurian and specifically dealing with significant book mentions. As I noted earlier, Gurian is quoted extensively in the Season Three volume of Marc Cushman's These Are The Voyages: TOS history books on Star Trek. Both Marc Cushman and each of the first two Books in the trilogy have separate pages here at Wikipedia, however, I don't believe a page for the Season Three book has yet been created. FYI, here's a link to the Season Two volume ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/These_Are_The_Voyages:_TOS,_Season_Two. Would any of the Gurian book mentions in the 6 different episode chapters that Cushman refers to him be able to qualify as a "significant book mentions or academic journal articles" source you said was required to establish notability. One such mention of Gurian takes place on Page 298 of the book in the Chapter dedicated to the episode "For The World Is Hollow and I Have Touched The Sky". The mention spans about 12 lines and roughly a couple of hundred words. It begins "Star Trek archivist Gerald Gurian said, 'For The World .... is yet another outstanding episode, based on the quite interesting concept of a multi-generational ship disguised as an asteroid. And it was wonderful to have an episode focus so prominently on Dr. McCoy" ... etc. etc. for the remainder of a fairly lengthy quote that discusses some interesting aspects of the show. So, Carrite, is that something that might be considered a significant book mention? There are about 6 of those in total spread out in different chapters of the book, and some are longer quotes, some are shorter. One immediate problem that I can see, even if the quotes are considered significant, is that they are to be found in the physical pages of the hard copy book and not displayed online, as far as I know, anywhere on the internet. But they are quite real mentions and lengthy quotes of Gurian's impressions of different episodes. Thanks for your thoughts in response to this. Kind Regards. Tosresearcher (talk) 06:29, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also, when I clicked the "Scholar" link at the very top of this page in the Find Sources: "Gerald Gurian" region, this new citation emerges, apparently in a book/paper authored by a L Geraghty ...

“A Reason to Live”: Utopia and Social Change in Star Trek Fan Letters L Geraghty - Popular Media Cultures, 2015 - Springer ... he provided the world with “a glimpse of the future”, implying that it will happen, and that future utopia will be “one where mankind didn't fight over land and money, where there was no hunger, and it didn't matter what color, race, or gender you were”.11 Gerald Gurian goes one ...

and another L Geraghty work, looks like a Book also shows up, which I imagine indicates Geraghty mentions Gurian somewhere in the pages of this work ...

[BOOK] Living with Star Trek: American Culture and the Star Trek Universe L Geraghty - 2007 - books.google.com Page 1. LINCOLN GERAGHTY LIVING WITH STAR TREK AMERICAN CULTURE AND THE STAR TREK UNIVERSE Page 2. Page 3. UVINCj wiTH STAR TRGiK Thls One Page 4. Page 5. UVINCj wiTH STAR TREK AMERICAN ...

There is also this citation listed, apparently related to Gurian's engineering work ...

and of course there was the somewhat lengthy mention of Gurian in the Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/film/10652413/Oscars-the-award-for-the-most-valuable-prop-goes-to....html

  • First off, I'm a HUGE Star Trek nerd. I've been to conventions. I own autographs & on-set paraphernalia. My oldest child could recite the opening monologue at the age of 3. So this is not an unbiased opinion: Delete this article. It reeks of WP:COI, lacks any appreciable indication of notability, and is patently about a book, despite being titled after the author. To be clear: I own and regularly read this book. I truly enjoy it. I still think it doesn't deserve an article, however the sources given are certainly good enough to include this in Cultural influence of Star Trek. MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 20:46, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

this is exactly what i meant about low-quality, bloggy sources. ack. Jytdog (talk) 09:35, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jytdog, do you know that Gizmodo is one of the biggest technology/pop culture/media sites around? Over the last 30 days, its various pages attracted 38.9 million unique global visitors. Well over a million people a day. https://www.quantcast.com/gizmodo.com#trafficCard May I say that I'm getting the feeling some folks here might just be predisposed to belittle whatever evidence I submit in good faith to support my cause. Please, Jytdog, tell my why Gizmodo is so very low quality and unacceptable? And what are some examples of more substantial/pop culturally significant sites to cover a Star Trek book release? Tosresearcher (talk) 10:13, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yep there are two gizmodos there; both already cited in the article and not great. and the other six low-quality bloggy sites you posted? Look, the book isn't Das Kapital or even Everything and More (book). It is for fans of a TV show; the sources are going to be low quality blogs, not the NYT Book Review or the London Review of Books. Don't have a cow. Jytdog (talk) 10:26, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, the two Gizmodos are dedicated entirely to the books written by Gurian; they do not merely mention the books in passing and they speak very positively (although, briefly) of the works and also display large galleries of imagery from them. So I certainly wouldn't condemn these mentions as inferior as you seem to be doing. It seems to me that many here are being overly dismissive of this proposed article because they cannot see the forest for the trees. On one hand, you seem to be critical of the books for not having NYT Book Reviews and then in the same breath admit that one shouldn't expect such huge interest because they are, as you say, books "for fans of a TV show". I propose that they have indeed drawn notable praise from the correct sources that one would normally hope for in this case ... a tremendously popular media site like Gizmodo, multiple Trek/scifi blogs, certainly significant people in the Star Trek universe like Academy and Emmy Award winning artist Doug Drexler who is overflowing in his praise, and Star Trek historian Marc Cushman who authored the foreword to the first book. And another example of not seeing the forest for the trees is this continually frowned upon -- for no intelligently explained reason -- Press Release from General Motors about Gurian receiving an award. It should be obvious to even the most addle brained members here that the huge multibillion dollar corporation GM is not the mouthpiece of Gurian. So a press release from them confirming that they did indeed bestow a prestigious award on him should be regarded as legitimate, should it not? Yet multiple individuals here have indicated that PRs are strictly forbidden!!! Without, it seems, considering the circumstances of this situation in the least. It is obvious to me that if it is Gurian himself issuing the release then the fact could certainly be in doubt and require verification. Yet a huge corporate press statement listing Gurian along with a few dozen other award recipients should be accepted in good faith, should it not? When a lawyer attempts to prove a fact in a court of law, does he not prefer reliable first hand testimony as opposed to hearsay? Why, on this PR issue, is the word of GM considered untrustworthy while the word of some unrelated newspaper journalist (who, by the way, guess what!!! ... would have composed his article UPON RECEIVING the previously discussed GM press release) be so highly sought after here? This place defies common sense. Tosresearcher (talk) 18:37, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And has no one any response/insights to the "Scholar" search links / citations, new book mentions of Gurian I discuss above on Gurian himself, and my inquiry on the lengthy Cushman book quotes/references to Gurian -- that Carrite seemed to suggest was the type of thing we are looking for? Please see my remarks a few paragraphs above. I am still proceeding to forward my case with a good faith presentation of facts/thoughts, anxiously awaiting the next dismissive observation.

Here is yet another new book review that appears to have been published just today on the second Gurian book. It actually is quite lengthy and is still another enthusiastic endorsement of these works. Here's a particularly favorable quote: "The final line: Without question, this is a must own publication for every Star Trek fan. This is the Star Trek celebration that fans have been looking for. It’s extremely rare to find anything new for a show fifty years old, but Gerald Gurian has done it. If you know any Star Trek fan, this is what to give them for the upcoming holiday season. Highest possible recommendation. Overall grade: A+"

Thanks, Bob K31416.

Best. Tosresearcher (talk) 19:48, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at your message of 06:29, 8 October, which I thought was what you were referring to, and I had the impression there wasn't much information about Gurian himself in the Cushman book. If there was such information about Gurian himself, you can provide the excerpts here for discussion. --Bob K31416 (talk) 20:21, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for your reply. Those book passages were not about Gurian, they are lengthy quotes (200 to 300 words) from Gurian regarding his impressions about the various Star Trek episodes. So I'll assume they are also irrelevant for Wikipedia purposes. Tosresearcher (talk) 20:52, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(As I mentioned, I am bad at football and might have got this wrong). Lourdes 13:28, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, tier one means a match between the senior national teams of two FIFA members.

Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:32, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Sir Sputnik and thanks. Is there some site that shows which matches are classified at what Tier? The FIFA link in the guideline only provides a summary statement (e.g. representative A teams), but does not clearly differentiate. Lourdes 02:44, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MbahGondrong, which is the RS that confirms this? And the FIFA link also says that even scratch teams can be playing Tier 1 matches.

Lourdes 01:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What is a scratch team if I may ask?

The Quinnipiac Chronicle is a university student newspaper, so it's deprecated as unable to carry notability for the same reason that q30television can't. Sportzedge is "powered by News8" — but "News8", WTNH, is a local television station in Quinnipiac University's own local media market, so it's not a source that can carry WP:GNG all by itself. And because she's played in CONCACAF league events, CONCACAF's own website is a primary source that cannot aid in showing notability. Bearcat (talk) 19:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Quinnipiac Chronicle - semms like a relatively local source, but nonetheless is a significant article on the career of the player so far
  2. News 8 - lengthy interview with player from website run by Connecticut news station. State-level coverage
  3. CONCACAF - dedicated article on player from continental football association

  • Delete. The sources being bruited about here do not confer passage of WP:GNG. One (Quchronicle) is the student newspaper at her own university, which is a class of sourcing that is specifically deprecated as not able to carry notability at all (which Lourdes already knows, because they did deprecate another piece of student media sourcing as not assisting the case — they just maybe didn't realize that this source was also student media); one (Sportsedge) is the local television station in her university's local media market, and is thus not enough to carry notability as an article's only GNG-eligible source; CONCACAF is a primary source since she's in CONCACAF. So no, BASIC and GNG have not been met by those sources. Bearcat (talk) 19:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
CONCACAF, is not of close affiliation to her nor "directly involved" - much like if FIFA has an article about a player. If it was her team, that would be another story. Hmlarson (talk) 20:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's what's known as a distinction without a difference. It's neither unprecedented, nor even particularly unusual, for CONCACAF to publish press releases to its own website about the ongoing career development of people who've played on CONCACAF member teams — so it's not "unaffiliated" just because she's one step removed from direct personal membership in the organization.

So who is she "directly involved" with at CONCACAF? For editors who may not be familiar with the hierarchy:
  • It doesn't matter how many in-between steps there are in the tree of association. If she's had any form of association with CONCACAF at all, then CONCACAF is still an affiliated primary source regardless of how many intermediaries you can add to the relationship diagram. And even if you ignore that fact, it's also the case that CONCACAF isn't media, but an organization, and thus still wouldn't count as a notability-conferring source anyway. Bearcat (talk) 17:01, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved. They offer an insider's view of an event, a period of history, a work of art, a political decision, and so on. Primary sources may or may not be independent or third-party sources." WP:PRIMARY Your interpretation is a bit different than other editors here. Hmlarson (talk) 20:30, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obviously, I need to rephrase myself, because that isn't actually in conflict with what I said. If she's had any form of association with CONCACAF at all, then CONCACAF is still directly involved. Bearcat (talk) 17:48, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete Obviously fails WP:NFOOTBALL, and I don't think that twiddly student newspapers and a couple of local blogs read by a collective audience of 17 are enough to carry through WP:GNG — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnTombs48 (talkcontribs) 13:24, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I initially thought of WP:TOOSOON, but there is enough here for GNG. This discussion seems to be following the usual pattern whereby sources are demanded, then when they're provided there is the pretence that they're not good enough sources! Bring back Daz Sampson (talk) 15:47, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a "pretense". All possible sources are not created equal — some kinds of potential sources (student media, the subject's own self-published social media presence, community weekly newspapers, purely local media coverage of a person whose notability claim doesn't actually exceed the purely local, iTunes/Amazon, etc.) do not count as satisfying GNG, and people frequently try to bolster notability by leaning on the existence of that kind of "sourceability". So it's not a "pretense" to point out why a potential new source doesn't pass muster: it's an objective analysis of that source. Bearcat (talk) 17:43, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Objective to you perhaps; not to other editors. It is somewhat common for some editors to set the requirements higher for articles about women and women-related topics than a guideline advises. Whether this is done in an attempt to keep articles about women excluded from Wikipedia is obviously debatable. Hmlarson (talk) 19:10, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I most certainly do not have different, artificially inflated notability standards for women than I do for men; a man at the same level of achievement wouldn't get an article on the basis of this kind of sourcing either. Bearcat (talk) 07:33, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly meets WP:GNG as per sources quoted above. Nfitz (talk) 16:34, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What sources quoted above meet GNG? It's certainly not the student newspaper, because student newspapers don't count toward notability. It's not the primary source, because primary sources don't count toward notability. And all that's left is a single local news report on the local television station covering the area where the university she attends is located, which is not enough. Bearcat (talk) 07:33, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article makes no claims for notability per WP:NASTRO and I can't find any myself. It is one of millions of red dwarfs, very faint, relatively close to the sun but not notably so. It is listed in tables or catalogues in a number of research papers, but none are specific to this star. Lithopsian (talk) 13:37, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. My searches didn't turn up additional sources on this. Fails WP:NASTRO. In particular I note this line from NASTRO: Being mentioned alongside other similar objects, such as in a table of properties of 200 newly discovered supernovae, does not constitute non-trivial coverage. The two sources in the article are titled Trigonometric Parallaxes for 1507 Nearby Mid-to-late M Dwarfs and Wide field search for nearby faint stars, both of which address bulk groups of stars rather than focusing on individually noteworthy objects.

  • Delete or move to Draft space. This journal has been around a few years and is headed by Judea Pearl, a Turing award winner who wrote the book on causality. None of that confers notability, but does confer respectability. This journal isn't indexed in the indices mentioned in WP:NJournals, but it is part of the Thomson Reuters - Emerging Sources Citation Index which does seem somewhat selective. I don't think I could convincingly argue that the ESCI by itself is enough to pass notability, but it is enough to park this in Draft space until indexing in our preferred databases becomes available. --Mark viking (talk) 23:56, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Ambassadors to such significant countries as China and Japan should always be considered notable, despite what the deletionists will no doubt claim. This is common sense. He is also a permanent secretary (i.e. the professional head of a government department). We usually consider them to be notable too. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:13, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There is absolutely zero inherent notability in being head of government department nor being an ambassador to China or Japan. LibStar (talk) 14:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You continue to have a strange definition of notability. The head of a government department isn't notable? Really? You genuinely stand by that statement, do you? -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:18, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. There is no inherent notability in such positions. Please state actual notability guideline which gives automatic notability. LibStar (talk) 16:37, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, you confuse Wikipedia with a bureaucracy where imaginary rules trump common sense and nothing is determined by discussion or opinion. See the second entry at WP:POLOUTCOMES. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:46, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You mix up "common sense" which is really your opinion with established consensus . You invent criteria first that all ambassadors are notable to all ambassadors to major countries are notable , now it's all heads of government departments are notable. What's more surprising is not once on any AfD concerning ambassadors have you ever bothered to search for evidence of sources which is actually the best way to establish notability. The fact you spend time arguing non established inherent notability instead of finding sources says it all. LibStar (talk) 22:22, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You're getting confused, I'm afraid. I'm not inventing criteria. I'm expressing an opinion. That's what AfD discussion is all about. If it was just about quoting policies then we wouldn't bother having these discussions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Diplomats and heads of government departments can get articles if those articles are substantive enough to be more than just a mere statement that they exist, and sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG. But neither diplomats nor bureaucrats get an automatic presumption of notability just for existing, if the sourcing is as minimal as it is here. Bearcat (talk) 18:10, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
agreed. Necrothesp has a habit of assigning inherent notability rather than actually making the effort to find sources to support a keep !vote. It's bordering on lazy that he never looks for sources in AfDs instead using the failed non consensus that position X gets a free pass keep. LibStar (talk) 23:36, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. A diplomat can get an article if he can be sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG, but does not get any automatic presumption of notability just for the fact of existing as a diplomat. I'm certainly willing to reconsider this if somebody can beef the sourceability up well enough to satisfy WP:GNG, but nothing here gives him an automatic "keep because he exists, who needs sourcing?" pass.

Simply being quoted in a couple of places is not enough and the website cannot inherit notability from these mentions. The NYTimes mention for example, is a pretty trivial mention. All of these show that it exists, but there is hardly any reliable secondary coverage about the website itself. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 00:26, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect, there is no significant information here beyond the founding date.

  • Redirect to FastMail Over here the product looks like it has received more coverage than the company. Per WP:INHERITORG, I would go for a redirect here. I don't think a merge is necessary (given that the content in the article isn't particularly useful) and in any case a redirect preserves the article history, so any useful information can be selectively merged later. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 00:16, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: There is substantial coverage of this company in highly reliable sources such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others. Article should likely be moved/renamed to Cox Digital Solutions, as sources say the Adify name hasn't been used since 2011 after a buy-out/merger. If nominator believes an article is blatantly promotional, they should prod it under WP:G11. But if an article is AFD'd and meets WP:GNG, like this one, the fact that it may be promotional in tone isn't a reason to delete it. In any event, this article isn't blatantly promotional.

News covered by popular media NyTimes and Washington post is for Press only. They both are writing only one thing The Merging of two companies. Company merge evrery day, and definitely it is written on newspaper daily. Nothing makes them significant for this part. Merely coverd by popular media is not important. What is covered is more important. I have read those articles. Nothing is there except press. Light2021 (talk) 07:06, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Redirect as it's clearly by far best known for that, and nothing else is suggesting otherwise, what's listed is simply repeating that and then what the company information was about and there's simply nothing else actually suggestive of a convincing independent article.

  • Keep. and move to Cox Digitalon the basis of the NTarticle. This is significant coverage. DGG ( talk ) 01:27, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Besides WaPo and NYT, there's Business Week, Mercury News. I think it might be less confusing to readers, and less wordy to write, to keep Adify where it is and instead redirect Cox Digital Solutions to Cox Media Group. You can first read that Adify did X, Y, and Z, then click through to the Cox article to read what took place after it became a subsidiary under a new name. Keeping and moving as DDG suggests is acceptable too, but requires more disambiguation in the text to keep track of what was done under one name/ownership and under the other. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 18:49, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Cox Media Group. This topic is not historically significant. It is another startup or youngish company that was bought by a larger company. This is business as usual. Also, just because there is coverage in publications like The New York Times and The Washington Post does not mean this topic is notable. Both of these published articles are small business announcements and do not qualify as WP:CORPDEPTH sources. The coverage is routine business announcements with a quote from a company source - a senior vice president . The other sources mentioned do the same. Coverage in these so-called "news" articles rely only on company executives for information. This is not independent coverage as required when using reliable sources to determine notability. Steve Quinn (talk)
  • Merge/Redirect to Cox Media Group so that the business can be discussed in the particularly helpful, broader context. This addresses as well the sourcing concerns since it's not that notable on its own. Issues with promotional-type wording and the like can be solved in the merging process. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 06:28, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Upper ontology#DOLCE, where it is briefly discussed. A Gbooks search reveals that DOLCE has brief mentions in some ontology guides. A Comparison of Upper Ontologies discusses DOLCE in some depth, seems independent, and as an academic technical report, is semi-reliable. These sources aren't enough to reach notability threshold per WP:GNG, but they are enough sourcing to support a brief section on the upper ontology at Upper ontology#DOLCE. As this is a plausible search term, a redirect is warranted. I agree with W Nowicki that transferring some of the sources, or the tech report above, to the target article would strengthe the section, but a full merge would expand the section to one of undue weight. Hence, redirect now and selectively merge as desired seems best. --Mark viking (talk) 22:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I added a citation to a non-Lincoln version of the obituary, the one I added was from Arkansas and was the next one I found at newspapers.com. I also added some material about Sherman's role in Western League Baseball (Class A minor league, I think), which he helped restart after WWII and of which he was a franchise owner. I don't mean to overstep, but I wanted to point out another addition which speaks to the issue of the local obituary (I've added a non-local printing of the obituary and can add more if requested) and the issue of being notable for only one thing. I count four things: coined the cornhusker nickname for the team which was then adopted by the state, played a roll in the creation of the AP college football poll, franchise owner and league treasurer of a Class A minor league team, co-owned and edited the Red Lodge Pickett in Red Lodge, Montana - all cited to Lincoln newspapers and to newspapers outside of the state.

  • Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources linked by WikiOriginal-9 (talk · contribs). WP:BLP1E/WP:BIO1E does not apply because the subject died in 1951 and because he is notable for being a newspaperman for nearly 60 years. The obituary in The Lincoln Star provides very substantial coverage about him. The obituary demonstrates Cy Sherman's national impact as a sports editor and sports write:

    In 1936, Cy advanced the idea for the Associated Press members' national poll of top ten college football teams — the poll generally accepted today as designating the national champion.

    He has received coverage in other sources like this article in the Omaha Bee and this article from the Lincoln Evening Journal ("Nationally Known Sports Editor Named to 'Sports Hall of Fame'"). Sherman clearly meets Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline.

    I oppose a merge to Nebraska Cornhuskers because the sources demonstrate that Cy Sherman's notability is not solely tied to the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

  • Not only are the listed sources above simply local news stories, they actually emphasize the fact (as the comments earlier have also noted), it's still not enough for an actually convincing article of his own, and not something that would be confident for meaningful improvements. Simply that he was "known in his work" is not alone enough to actually save this article, therefore the comments earlier have shown the one local story obituary of his death is not alone inherited notability or any other means of automatic acceptance. Also, as for merging, any meaningful information can simply be mentioned at the other article with a limited amount, since that other article is about the entire subject, not the man himself alone.

This really is a trivial topic. There's nothing fundamental about a cylinder with a hole down the middle.

The 'level' of an international badminton tournament depends on the amount of money it offers in prize – lower money means lower 'level'. It has nothing to do with the notability. It just shows that the country's organizing association isn't that rich. What matters here is that it's the only BWF-sanctioned international badminton tournament organised in Uganda.

  • Keep There are enough sources here to pass GNG. ~EDDY (talk/contribs)~ 00:03, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weakest Keep. All opinions that refer to GNG are using the wrong standard for our discussion. When we look at WP:N(E) and specifically WP:Routine, the standard is clearer: "Wedding announcements, sports scores, crime logs, and other items that tend to get an exemption from newsworthiness discussions should be considered routine. Routine events such as sports matches, film premieres, press conferences etc. may be better covered as part of another article, if at all." Thus, news reports of the type--"Olga Siamupangila and Chongo Mulenga have won a bronze medal in the mixed doubles of the Uganda International Badminton"--do not help us ascertain 'significant coverage' for notability. So, with that in mind, most of the sources provided do not pass WP:N(E). We need sources that go beyond routine sports coverage. Lexis had 31 hits, Newsbank had 49 hits. Of those, with some duplicates, four sources go beyond routine coverage at any point. What passed for me is that they come from diverse geographic areas (Africa and Asia) which is a positive sign of notability, see: WP:GEOSCOPE. This was difficult, but passes by the thinnest margin. AbstractIllusions (talk) 16:10, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
1) Re: "Routine events such as sports matches...may be better covered as part of another article..."
Actually, we are discussing the "another article" here. The discussion is about a tournament article, which keeps record of its 'routine events'. Had it been the AfD for a particular annual event of the above tournament, let's say 2016 Uganda International, then the above quote would've been suitable. But here we are discussing the notability of a tournament as a whole, instead of its individual matches.
2) As per WP:GNG, 'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. Around ten sources provided by me are solely dedicated to the tournament and they are discussing its various issues/details in a non-trivial way.
Finally, one should remember that the above tournament is sanctioned by the BWF & it provides world ranking points. In badminton, the Olympic qualification is based on the world rankings. So, as far as badminton is concerned, the above tournament is inherently notable. - NitinMlk (talk) 22:05, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I thought about this and don't find any of this convincing. I see the logic behind the points and won't push it, but for me the routine coverage standard is this: Is there details about the event itself (notable) or just about the matches in the event (non-notable)? For example, the Olympics we get coverage about the politics of selecting the location, the construction, the drug testing, the pageantry, etc. Also, the Olympics get re-reported afterward with profiles and books about the matches (hence they have lasting significance). As I noted above: only a few articles even have anything about the hosting of the event. In the end, we got to the same point just in very different ways. Skoal. AbstractIllusions (talk) 23:37, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - looking at some of the winners (Carolina Marín, for instance), this tournament clearly attracts some very good players - if not those at the peak of their career.

I've added GNIS sourcing and Native American etymology to the article, and some information about a walkway that's admittedly small fry but demonstrates the subject's potential coverage in regional news sources (which are rarely freely available online). It should also be noted that the Folklore section seems verifiable based on results of a Google Books search, however the relevant sources offer only snippets; nevertheless this indicates offline sources exist and there is no requirement that references must be accessible online. WP:GEOLAND also reads: Named natural features are often notable, provided information beyond statistics and coordinates is known to exist. This requirement has been met, and searches seem to indicate that more exists beyond the low-hanging fruit of Google. Antepenultimate (talk) 06:23, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment clearly promotional, and with conveniently unclickable refs, but the claim of notability makes this one not an instant dismiss under WP:PROMO - anyone want to go dredging the refs? - David Gerard (talk) 07:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what I found:
  1. Is behind a paywall at https://www.irishnewsarchive.com/, but this is probably similar
  2. Found here
  3. Can't find this via Google, the Irish News Archives, or the Irish Times archives. The name of the reference looks mangled. Might be similar to this article, which is paywalled but available via Google cache
  4. If this is anywhere, it's behind a members-only login at the Public Affairs Ireland website
  5. Is behind a paywall here. From the Google cache, looks like only a passing mention
  6. Online here. The text doesn't mention Norton; the video is a 30-second speech by Norton advertising the new buildings
  7. No idea where this is supposed to be from. "Astronomy Today" is a blog that doesn't mention Norton anywhere. There's a primary source here covering the announcement, but no media coverage I can find
  8. The link is broken, this looks like the proper link. Confirms Norton's membership, but has no further detail
  9. Is here
The rest look like things Norton himself wrote, so I won't bother to look them up. Google News turns up lots of articles quoting Norton, but none seem to cover him in substantial detail. If you ask me, I'd say that he fails WP:GNG, but probably qualifies under WP:NACADEMIC by virtue of being a university president and RIA member. 2602:306:3A29:9B90:608C:C2F8:2526:C3A4 (talk) 08:30, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The principal argument for keeping this page was that a consensus should first be sought whether having multiple subpages for individual nations was an acceptable way of organising the material, and then either keep, or delete them all together. I sympathise with this position, but the fact is that it has no support in policy. The current policy position is that every page must stand or fall on its own merits. Subpages are not recognised in mainspace. In fact, the technical ability to create subpages in mainspace has been disabled because of the community's desire not to have them. This means that every page must individually establish notability, regardless of whatever other article it is associated with.

The delete camp therefore has a policy based argument whereas the keep camp does not. It is not for the delete camp to call for an RFC first on the whole group of articles. Far from it. Rather, it is for the keep camp to start a policy discussion to change the current subpage/subarticle policies. As the policy currently stands, it is perfectly possible that some <country> at <games> articles will be established as notable and others will not. SpinningSpark 18:30, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Instead there should be some kind of community discussion about what to do with articles like that and action should be decided there for all articles of this kind. Otherwise AFD will get spammed with articles like that. I also want to add that I am very sure that Indonesian media covered the countries participation in this major sporting event, therefore I dont think this article would necessary fail WP:GNG if looked up in Indonesian media.

  • Delete instead as the TIME "article" is simply a few mere sentences and is certainly not substance, or anything close to it, the VancouverSun article is then simply focusing with what the company said and then repeated businesspeople, hence the information came from the company itself in not 1 path, but 2, none of this is amounting to an actual substantial article with substantial sourcing. The same can be said about the GlobalandMail article which then also simply focuses with what the company is saying itself and then also simply repeating company and businessman quotes, none of it amounts to substance, and that's another that was clearly influenced by the company itself, therefore not independent or substance. The article currently still looks like an advertisement and, although informative and sourced, looking closer suggests otherwise since it simply boiling to an advertisement and what there to show and say about the company, instead of establishing an encyclopedia-material article. Once we start accepting mere trivial coverage as sourcing without thinking of the consequences and damages it can take, we are damned as an encyclopedia.

Yeah, looking at the other articles involved, they are really bad and I can't find any sources establishing that Eric Karjaluoto or Design Can Change meet WP:GNG.

I created the article in 2007 in response to the launch of the products. Unfortunately the company has since stopped manufacturing the drinks, and the company has closed down.

The article only had one reference from a news source about its advertisements being tampered with. Other than that, there has been no further claim on its notability from any third-party source, except primary sources. Due to the discontinuation of the product, there is no chance of any further progress on the notability of the subject itself. All in all, a product of an extremely narrow geographical scope of interest and two mentions in third-party news outlets.

Therefore, this article fails WP:GNG, and may also fail WP:COMPANY. Optakeover(U)(T)(C) 07:47, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:BLP, based entirely on primary sources with no evidence of reliable source coverage shown at all, of a film director with no particularly strong claim to passing WP:CREATIVE. The Cannes Young Director Award is not, as one might think at first, connected to the Cannes Film Festival, but to the separate Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity -- so it's an award that could be enough to get a Wikipedia article if the sourcing were solid enough to pass WP:GNG, but not one that confers an automatic WP:CREATIVE pass all by itself. As always, a film director is not automatically entitled to an article just because his own self-published primary source presence on the web technically verifies his existence -- it takes RS coverage verifying a claim that would pass CREATIVE for an article to become earned, but there's just nothing here to satisfy either part of that equation.

I still confirm my PROD which not only listed the concerns but what I found, which was in fact nothing, so unless there's so buried news coverage from the 1970s somehow online, there's nothing to suggest actual independent notability and substance, let alone any manageable improvements. The basis of "current sources" is quite thin in that none of the sources are actually convincing or substantial. At best, all I'm still finding a few indie websites.

  • Weak keep. There's a trivial mention (as having found musical inspiration in the California serial killings of 1977–78) in a book about the Dead Kennedys. There's one paragraph of coverage of the 2004 Alternative Tentacles issue in Maximumrocknroll #256 that serves as a review, more or less. There's another review of sorts in Perfect Sound Forever, in the context of the Killed by Death punk bootleg records. The 2004 release also got a brief (and not entirely positive) review in online zine/label/etc. In Music We Trust; that's bylined, and they actually have acknowledged staff writers, but I'm still not confident they meet RS. I feel like there had to have been coverage somewhere between 1979 and 2004, based on how the 2004+ sources talk about the band, but I can't find any of it. Whether the material that seems available is sufficient to demonstrate notability is very much an open question, and my weak keep vote is largely predicated on the idea that we're probably missing some print-only sources. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:39, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not soure I'd count MRR as evidence of notability - they literally try to review everything that's vaguely punk-related.

  • Keep does have an allmusicbio, and album review which the vast majority of wikipedia music articles do not have, especially those that are prodded. ( only having a listing or not even that).

  • Weak keep. The Allmusic review is probably one of several reviews of the album, and the band get a few other mentions, e.g. [61], [62], [63], but quite brief ones. It's a bit thin, but enough for a decently-sourced stub. --Michig (talk) 07:39, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep per above. If outcome isn't that, it should be redirected to mental disorder. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 03:17, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete per nom - the one new source is a profile on Graham Lee, and might be evidence of his personal notability (though not enough alone to swing it), but certainly isn't of the company - David Gerard (talk) 10:30, 30 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete -- corporate spam. A "multinational corporation" with 150 employees? :-) I requested a speedy deletion. Also: the creator's Talk page (User talk:Wikimakerrs) contains several speedy / PROD notices, and these articles have been deleted. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:46, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning delete - I can find a few reviews [64][65][66] that indicate they're a reasonably respectable guitar company, but nothing at all else in RSes actually about the company, and that's not enough to sustain an article on the company - David Gerard (talk) 07:55, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
