This is a duplication list to include non-notable contestants to non-notable pageants. India's representatives to notable pageants were already listed in the yearly editions of Miss Universe Miss World, Miss Earth, Miss International. Likewise, the national winners and representatives were also listed in the Femina Miss India, Miss Earth India, Miss Diva, Miss India Worldwide articles, and etc. Notable pageants for men have also another lists like the Mister International India, and etc. This article is just an expanded list to include non-notable pageant contestants without sources.

The result was redirect to Higher-Order Perl. Discounting the subject's own views per WP:COI, we have only one "weak keep" and a "keep or merge" on the keep side, plus a "redirect" and four "delete" opinions on the other. A redirect probably accommodates most views as it allows selective merging to the book article, subject to consensus among non-COI editors.  Sandstein  09:22, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Article written by the subject of the article (and heavily edited by them). Subject has marginal notability, all of it stemming from a book he authored and self published sources. Google hits are not an indicator since the subject of the article has done his homework on generating link engine spam. COI edits throughout, and reads like a book advertisement. Article should be deleted or merged and redirected to Higher-Order Perl. Questionable sources. Octoberwoodland (talk) 23:35, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • May in fact be notable, though this article isn't good. If not kept, redirect to Higher-Order Perl, which is actually noteworthy in the field - David Gerard (talk) 10:18, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I am the subject of the article, which has survived three previous deletion discussions with strong consensus for “keep”. The proposal to delete claims that I wrote the article and edited it heavily; both of these claims are easily seen to be false. Wikipedia's policy on notability of authors says “The person has created … a significant or well-known work. Such work must have been the primary subject … of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.” Higher-Order Perl meets this standard. —Mark Dominus (talk) 14:13, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
That aside, the subject may well qualify as noteworthy and the article one to keep. May be a fixer-upper rather than a delete. And COI doesn't mean you can't touch the article about yourself, it means that you shouldn't beyond minor details (a can vs should issue). I mean, Dominus should definitely avoid editing the article, but it's incorrect to say it's forbidden - David Gerard (talk) 00:57, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very constructive and helpful suggestion. It's current sources are not secondary sources, and it still seems to make the most sense to redirect the bio to the article with the book because there is no context for his bio and the content does not meet standards as you pointed out earlier. Octoberwoodland (talk) 04:24, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
David Gerard: I think a review of my edits to the article will show that I have only edited it to make the most minor changes. For example, this is my most recent edit, in March. But if there is a concern about my edits to the article, this is not the correct forum for dealing with them. The procedure at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#How_to_handle_conflicts_of_interest should be followed. —Mark Dominus (talk) 17:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep passes WP:GNG and WP:BASIC, although it would be best if someone else sort of rewrote the article, it is extremely poorly written. I would stay stick to coding, Mark. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnTombs48 (talkcontribs) 18:29, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete computer programming language figure who lacks coverage to pass GNG. The inclusion criteria back in 2005 were a lot more lenient than they are today, which is why Wikipedia is plagued by thousands of articles on non-notable people.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:31, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The nominator seems to be a single purpose account, per WP:SPA, and has made few or no edits unrelated to this particular AfD nomination. Starting an AfD with their third edit to WP (after user page and user talk page creation) is not typical behavior for a new user. --Mark viking (talk) 20:29, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I edit all the time with my IP address, but you have to have an account to list an Afd. Have someone change Wikimedia to allow IP editors to create Afd without an account. At any rate, there is nothing sinister about it. Octoberwoodland (talk) 20:40, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you don't want to be seen as an SPA attack account, then not attacking would probably be a good start - David Gerard (talk) 23:11, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion is now about the notability of Mark Dominus. Motivations of nom are a distraction. Agricola44 (talk) 03:47, 10 October 2016 (UTC).[reply]
I see no justification at all for the accusation of attacking, unless you mean the very mild incivility of "vanity article", which would be best stricken. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:23, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In defense of David's assertion, there were, at the time David wrote that, a couple of passages by Octoberwoodland that could be considered more aggressive. But to Octoberwoodland's credit, they subsequently deleted those passages. At this point, I am content to assume good faith regarding Octoberwoodland's intentions and put the SPA concern to rest. --Mark viking (talk) 20:07, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Again, it's a little distracting to be debating something other than the subject of this debate. Agricola44 (talk) 20:15, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Some basic searching shows lots of web presence (twitter, personal sites, YouTubes, etc), but nothing that would clinch GNG in terms of archival sources. Indeed, the bibliography seems mostly to be web stuff, biosketches, conference presentations (broken link), etc. Awards, like the "Larry Wall Award for Practical Utility" are not notable. As far as I can tell, Mr. Dominus is a peripheral actor within the larger Perl world, rather than a notable computer scientist or language developer per se. The main claim for the article seems to be his book Higher-Order Perl. Most languages have their "Bibles" (like Kernighan and Ritchie for "C"), but Higher-Order Perl does not seem to be one of these for Perl. Noticed nom's mention of redirecting, but the book's notability seems debatable. I think JPL's above assessment is correct: this is a legacy article from the early days of WP when notability considerations were much lower than they are now. Agricola44 (talk) 16:59, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or merge selectively to Higher-Order Perl. MJD's main claim to notability is as the author of Higher order Perl and as a columnist of The Perl Journal. He was a prominent although not central figure in the Perl world. Based on the book, he seems to meet notability per WP:AUTHOR, but reasonable people could disagree on this. What is clear is that there is basic verifiable information out there on the man, and per our WP policies of WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD, it is preferable to preserve verifiable information rather than delete it. Hence if consensus does not develop for keeping the article, merging basic facts relevant to the HOP article, his most notable achievement, would be the best policy-based course of action. --Mark viking (talk) 20:57, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merging to HOP would be fine, unless that article would be at risk too. From what I can tell, Programming Perl is the "Bible" here. Presuming that Perl is like other modern languages in that there are dozens, or probably hundreds of dedicated mass-market books and technical texts, it's not clear to me that HOP itself is even notable. FWIW, I don't think being a columnist at The Perl Journal carries any notability weight. As far as I can tell, that seems to have been a short-lived trade publication/newsletter that went defunct about 15 years ago (all 19 issues seem to be here). I wonder if the following would be better. The main article on Perl is certainly permanent. Many of the people in the "perl box" listed at the bottom of this article are mentioned prominently or cited in that article. Dominus is not (though the HOP book is post-scripted as "further reading"). Perhaps this content should be redirected there, which would certainly satisfy ATD and PRESERVE. Agricola44 (talk) 22:10, 10 October 2016 (UTC).[reply]
  • A book doesn't need to be a "bible" to be notable; it just needs to satisfy the notability thresholds of WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. HOP seems to do that, although folks are welcome to to bring it to AfD if they disagree. The Perl Journal was the main and dominant journal in the Perl world at the time, and being a columnist for the journal definitely contributed to the notability of MJD in the field, if not WP. At any rate, I think we should get not distracted by what-if scenarios and just concentrate on the article at hand. If keep does not become the consensus, a merge or redirect to the Perl article would be OK by me. But from what I have seen of the biographical sources for MJD, every one of them mentions HOP. A merge or redirect to Higher-Order Perl would seem a better fit and it would be easier to manage due weight in the merge. --Mark viking (talk) 23:57, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • HOP probably satisfies WP:NBOOK, though I'm not sure. The point is that, if it were of "Bible status", it might render Dominus himself notable per se. It's not, so it doesn't. In digging a little further, I think it's fair to say he was a very visible advocate/promoter/teacher of Perl and he contributed some important modules, but AUTHOR (probably the best guideline match) would require him to be "regarded as an important figure", which he is not, or for HOP to be "a significant or well-known work", which it is not. BTW: The Perl Journal was not a peer-reviewed archival journal. It was a newsletter/trade-periodical that published a whole 19 issues. I think we're trouble if we feel that being a columnist for this caliber of publication renders notability. Agricola44 (talk) 02:45, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If this discussion had been about a person whose only claim to fame was to have written a minor book about a pretty minor tool used in any other industry then the article would have been laughed out of court. Why do we persist in applying different standards to some topics, such as the software industry, than we do to other topics? Isn't it time for Wikipedia to grow up from its geeky past and take a broader view of what is notable in an encyclopedia about the whole world? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:24, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Saw this at Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#Chef Anton and thought I would take a look. It is easily self promotion and my first thought was to simply rewrite it, but as the IP points out everything is referenced to his own website.

A Google news search [1] revealed four sources (note Chef Anton by itself mainly goes to other Chefs with a first name of Anton[2]). The worldrecordacademy one looked interesting, but I am not sure that it is terribly reliable as it has "UNLIMITED categories. The rest are to the Friday Flyer[3], a small regional Newspaper. There are actually only two articles (one about the trick shot[4] and an article about his appearance on Penn and Teller[5] - the other two are brief mentions on a "looking back" segment[6][7]). The Penn and Teller appearance seems to be his only TV credit [8] to date and is probably his best claim to fame, but I don't think it is enough (especially if we want to write a proper BLP article about them).

Could potentially redirect to Penn & Teller: Fool Us as a plausible search term. AIRcorn (talk) 21:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC) Actually there are two many other, probably more notable, chef Antons to target for this to be feasible --AIRcorn (talk) 22:07, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Merge as consensus once again shows there's no inherited notability simply because of what information there may be about the subject, and this is also another case where the character is unsurprisingly best known for that series. Anything essential to merge is now available in the history and it's the obligations of the users here to merge it (NAC). SwisterTwister talk 01:53, 21 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as most everything in Crocotta#Popular culture derives from this instantiation of the mythological beast. Furthermore, in addition to the Geek.com source, we have Geek Dad, and more importantly than that, we have a number of sources occurring after the publication of D&D stats for the monster which have clearly been influenced by this fictional portrayal of the mythological element: [10], [11], etc. Jclemens (talk) 04:43, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Index of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition monsters. I honestly don't know why people are claiming that this creature, or even the spelling they used, originated in D&D. It did not. This is a real mythological creature. Leucrotta is an actual spelling of said mythological creature that did not originate with D&D. Those books that Jclemens brought up are talking about the mythological creature as it existed in folklore, not the D&D creature. The fact that the books happened to be published after the monster's introduction in D&D does not somehow automatically mean that those books were basing their information from D&D. I actually own one of those two books (the one by Carol Rose), and I can assure you that there are no D&D sourcebooks listed as one of its citations, so unless there is some sort of evidence proving that these sources were "clearly influenced" by the D&D version, this is a non-argument. As for this article itself, there are no sources about the creature that are not official D&D publications outside of the one top ten list, which alone is not enough to establish notability. This particular creature is not even a particularly well known or notable monster within the D&D multiverse, let alone in a real world context.64.183.45.226 (talk) 18:21, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This page has been repeatedly created and speedy-deleted—see this thread on my talkpage for some background. Rather than keep playing whack-a-mole, bringing it here to either decide it's worth keeping, or decide once-and-for-all that it's not what we want and delete it (in which case I strongly recommend that the deleting admin salt it). For the duration of this discussion, I've restored the entire history of all the deleted versions (note that most of the claims of notability on previous versions, such as "first ambassador of India to the United States", are demonstrably untruethis version of the article is the one from which every outright lie has been removed.)  ‑ Iridescent 19:09, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete and salt. You do not "reference" an article by uploading primary source private documents to Commons while claiming them as "CC/own work" — reliable sourcing for a Wikipedia article is coverage about him in newspapers, books and/or magazines, and nothing else. Wikipedia is not a place where a person gets an article just because "try to understand feelings of person" (which makes no sense, as the person in question is dead); it's a place where an article is earned on the basis of reliable source coverage which verifies passage of a specific notability criterion, but nothing here satisfies either of those conditions.

Or, it would be that the infobox coding was malformatted which I've now fixed.

I was never informed about the problem with the first one (seems obvious that there was a problem but I kinda just posted and forgot).

  • Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2016 October 6. —cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Offline 18:33, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The article was tagged for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A7, but as a mobile application (i.e. a software product), it does not qualify under A7. The author of the article himself has brought it here to AFD, with the explanation that he does not have time to properly complete the article. That, in itself, qualifies for deletion under WP:CSD#G7, but I feel that the author was merely frustrated by the speedy deletion process. However, as the article author is also the author of the software, and the claims of significance are likely inflated (the app has not yet left beta stage, and has been removed from the Google Play Store due to its instabilities), I feel it is too soon to create a valid article about this application. Also, product's creator himself appears confused about whether or not it is a dating app (the first paragraph of the article says it is a social and dating app while later text says that it is not a dating app!), so until the app is cleaned up and the author figures out what he wants the app to be, we probably shouldn't have a Wikipedia article about it.

Minor Character in both the books and the series. This page is completely unnessecary because he is such a minor character. This page has even been deleted twice before, and his character hasn't developed that much (only two extra Game of Thrones' episodes he appeared in) since the last nomination.TedEdwards (talk) 18:16, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Appearing for the most of the time Game of Thrones has been airing does not mean he should have and article e.g Pycelle does not have an article, nor does Hodor. Despite all the sources, he is still a minor character and the article is almost about nothing. TedEdwards (talk) 19:34, 6 October 2016 (UTC) In fact, he doesn't even appear in over three quarters of the Game of Thrones episodes from seasons 1-6, his tenure on Game of Thrones. And why does him being still alive in the books mean anything, several characters are still alive in the books, doesn't mean they've all got articles. TedEdwards (talk) 19:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article has a lot of information(Nothing is wrong with it and since he is still alive in the books, the article will continue to grow).. If you want to delete this. then you should also delete all the much much worst character articles from Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Doctor Who and The Walking Dead. This is well sourced and contains a lot of information. And the character and actor has recived a lot of coverage from this show/books. - AffeL (talk) 19:43, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The article has been improved significantly since it got nominated for deletion by user TedEdwards, due to edits by myself, and it will keep improving. How come no one is deleting any of the characters from the franchises i mentioned above. Many character articles from those are barely even sourced at all and are also very short. - AffeL (talk) 20:51, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if there a minor characters which barely affect the plot in a franchise, these articles are pointless and should be deleted, and maybe I will personally nominate them. Rickon is not a major character in any major plotlines in either the book or series. You are completely wrong that Rickon recieved a lot of coverage from Game of Thrones. I'm fairly sure he didn't have a single line in Season 6, and didn't have many other lines in any other seasons. And I've just noticed half the sources on Rickon's page are from tertiary sources and therefore will have to be removed as they are unreliable. TedEdwards (talk) 16:43, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And, by the way, what makes you think Rickon will suddenly become a major character in the books? TedEdwards (talk) 16:56, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Well I fixed those so called "issues" you hade. The article is now more than perfect!.. I might even nominated it for a Good Article later when you are done trying(for some unknown reason) to delete this perfectly fine article. - AffeL (talk) 19:11, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Book chapters are pointless sources, it is implied that all the info in those sections comes from the books. Just saying. And the only reason why you're trying to save the article is because you've done so much work, in your view, to make the article "perfect" (which is impossible, there will always be faults). And I appreciate that, it is hard for someone who spent so much time working so hard on something to seen their work thrown away as such. But you have to realise that if Wikipedia has articles of such minor things such as this article, Wikipedia would be littered with pointless articles, and that's why I think the article, unfortunately, has to go. And why do I think that this character is minor? Well, if you removed Rickon's character from the storyline of ASoIaF or Got, the plot would change negliably, and therefore, the character is minor. And I do agree with you that there are some character articles in Star Wars and LotR at least that should be removed. And could you answer my question, why do you think Rickon will suddenly become a major character in the books? TedEdwards (talk) 21:36, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Never said for a fact that he will become a, what you call "major" character in the books. Just that the article will get even bigger with time, being that he's still alive in the books. And don't lie. This article is perfect. no doubt about that. - AffeL (talk) 14:29, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
AffeL Perfection is where the article can be improved no further, this article could always be improved more, as could every single other article on Wikipedia. However, if I fail in getting this page deleted, I see no reason for me to try to stop you nominating this page for a good article, I just don't think this page will meet the criteria. TedEdwards (talk) 19:56, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, not trying to rude or anything. But I will have to stop commenting here. For the reason that you clearly have some kind of grudge or hate against the character or the actor that plays him. And also for the hostile behavior towards me. For that I will say, "In case I don't see you... good afternoon, good evening, and good night". - AffeL (talk) 20:23, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Multiple independent, non-trivial RS in the current article. The Wrap and International Business Times posted significant commentary just about Rickon. There are scads of other Battle of the Bastards reviews (Winning an Emmy is pretty strongly correlated with that, you know) which deal with his death, but those two are sufficient by themselves to establish that the GNG is met. Sure, he was merged or redirected twice before, but independent coverage and commentary of this fictional element fundamentally changed after he died in the show.

  • Keep - plenty of sources already provided to prove the notability of Rickon Spiderone 14:36, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Could I point out that most of the sources on this page point towards a single scene in the entire 60 episodes in Game of Thrones. Not really what makes a character major; major characters would have several sources refering to many different episodes, not just one scene. Rickon Stark is NOT a major character. TedEdwards (talk) 19:50, 8 October 2016 (UTC) By the way, you can't say this article will grow because there is no certainty he will appear in any future ASoIaF books, he might just be ignored or found dead. TedEdwards (talk) 19:53, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • The reason I listed my two sources above is because they do not. Your statement here, that Rickon Stark is not a major character, while arguably correct is irrelevant to whether the article is kept as a standalone or merged. Do multiple independent reliable sources cover Rickon Stark in a non-trivial manner? Yes, they do. As such, his status as a minor character or not is irrelevant. As fictional franchises grow in size and popularity, the minor characters get more coverage, sometimes more coverage than major characters in other fictional franchises. Rickon now has more coverage than Mortimer Folchart, for instance. Jclemens (talk) 20:51, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Changed my mind, since I can trust the page will become very well sourced if suitable edits are made.-TedEdwards (talk) 09:38, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 08:52, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Has played 1 game in Austrian Football First League, according to worldfootball.net, which is accounted as a widely used reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnTombs48 (talkcontribs) 13:29, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The worldfootball.net site is generally treated as reliable, but it looks like they've got themselves confused on this one.

    Last season, SC Austria-Lustenau had two young Brazilian amateur players with Alves as part of their name: the club website speaks of "Verteidiger Filipe Alves Viana (22 Jahre), der auch schon in Testspielen der ersten Mannschaft von Cheftrainer Lassaad Chabbi eingesetzt wurde und der offensive Mittelfeldspieler Victor Alves (22 Jahre)." (Defender Filipe Alves Viana (22 years old), who has already played in first team friendlies under headcoach Lassaad Chabbi, and the attacking midfielder Victor Alves (22).)

    As the Austrian Bundesliga page cited by the nominator shows, the #25 who made his debut against Kapfenberger SV on 22 April 2016 was Victor Alves. The match report on the club website confirms it explicitly: "Victor Alves gibt sein Debüt im Austria-Dress" (Victor Alves makes his debut in Austria colours). cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:31, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I'm not going to lie, I didn't look at this article (which I bet needs work!) nor did I do my own search for sources. But this has survived two previous AFDs, both with their nomination withdrawn after reliable sources were presented amidst unanimous keep !votes. Now, consensus can change, but given the deletion history of this article, it's going to take a somewhat more verbose nomination for me to consider it.

Pure advertisement. Would have to be rewritten from scratch--I don't think there is a single usable sentence. And very dubious notability. The only good refs re about health records in general, not this company specifically. Otherwise, refs are notices , or trivial awards.

No evidence of notability. This is only one of very many software packages approved by USDA and there is no evidence it has any notability. Fails WP:GNG. I and Mean as custard have made this a redirect to its parent company, but a concerted effort by one editor(COI?) has necessitated this AfD.  Velella  Velella Talk   17:21, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • leaning Delete the two RSes are better than nothing, but an article sourced to them would be two sentences - David Gerard (talk) 10:28, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Cybersoft. Ok, it exists and is in use by about 11% of school children in the U.S., but there's little in the way of independent coverage. We have 7 references in the article. The first is basically just a listing of approved packages. Not particularly revealing. The second is a press release from the company itself, thus a primary source, not what we really need. The third is virtually identical to the first. The fourth and fifth references are the same article from two different news outlets. I.e., it's really just one reference to a secondary source. Ok, that's one. The sixth isn't a secondary source; it's a customer. The seventh is, once again, a press release, thus a primary source. So in the shake out of all this we have.... ONE, reliable secondary source. That's precious little to support a stand alone article. Recommend to merge useful content back to Cybersoft and leave this as a redirect to same. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:53, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't think it would be a good idea to merge into Cybersoft as I think that article is also suitable for deletion. This particualr program in any case has `no demonstrable notability DGG ( talk ) 01:39, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as the concerns here are clear, advertising intents and information and then also nothing for actual convincing notability; as is expected with these, the history shows noticeable SPAs focusing with this one article and these accounts consist of restoring then-removed advertising (therefore suggesting the uncompromising and unequivocal concerns especially in that this is being manipulated as an advertisement, and it's enough to also then say it's a company involving itself with schools, therefore it's not a school itself. As such, that also affects the sensibility of "merging" therefore it shows the concerns outweigh any generous considerations of keeping this, article or in history.

  • Delete Concerted effort by an editor to create stubs for every single Ali fight but really the ones listed above can make no claim to notability t justify their own article. They are already listed in the main article.Peter Rehse (talk) 18:24, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep for all articles on Muhammed Ali fights. Most of Ali's fights were major news and major box-office at the time whether or not they were title fights. Those few fights that were not considered especially important at the time have grown to be so with the immensity of Ali's reputation. Ali is now considered by many not just the greatest sportsman of the 20th century, but one of its most prominent world figures. Is there policy against non-title fights? It shouldn't apply to Ali.

    The articles are stubs but are well sourced and well edited and should be given a chance to grow. Spicemix (talk) 18:45, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The articles seem to be well-sourced, and I don't think you can judge notability only on whether a fight involves a title. Ali's fights were generally well-covered, at the time and later on. I don't think the AfD submitter has made a thorough and thus convincing argument. I'm going to put the burden more on the AfD submitter to prove his case on each individual match. Stevie is the man! TalkWork 19:05, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep per Spicemix and Stevietheman, and the fact that the editor working on these pages, Soham321, has given a much-needed and much appreciated expansion to Wikipedia's collection on this legendary fighters career. Each article can and should be expanded, yet there is plenty of material to add to each page thanks to Soham321's extensive list of sourced material. Ali, who died recently, is one of the most honored men of his lifetime, not only in his home nation but throughout the world, and is honored for many reasons. I've been following the creation of this collection of pages on the Ali template, and have continued to be impressed by the dedication of the initial editor and the extent that Wikipedia's Ali collection has now grown. Instead of deleting these starter articles maybe we should all be designing those star-thank you templates to give to Soham321 for the work and research involved. And this nomination gives me another chance to thank him (Thanks!). Floatin' like a butterfly, Randy Kryn 19:17, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all. Just as every book by a historically very significant author is considered notable per WP:NBOOK, so should every fight by the boxer almost universally agreed to be the greatest of all time and to be one of the greatest sportspeople of all time be considered notable. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:11, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

    • We don't decide notability by degree of reverence/importance. These are events well-covered by reliable sources. Not every subject has the same degree of greatness per our own or even the whole of culture's perspective. If we decide your way, then half (maybe more) of the Wikipedia would be up for deletion. Stevie is the man! TalkWork 21:49, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      • I repeat, Wikipedia is WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Football games are also "well-covered by reliable sources". By your line of reasoning, we should have an article on every Cleveland Browns game, which would be a crime against humanity. This fight lacks WP:PERSISTENCE. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:07, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        Comment: I would like Clarityfiend and others who voted to delete the Ali fight articles to take a look at the WP articles about boxing fights featuring Mike Tyson: {{Mike Tyson}}. I would suggest that even the least notable of the Ali fights are more notable than most of the Tyson fights which have their own WP pages, at least with respect to the coverage of these fights in RS including books and articles. To give an example, the Ali vs Blin fight is being nominated for deletion, but an entire chapter is dedicated to Blin and the Ali-Blin fight in the book "Facing Ali". The Ali-Blin fight is also covered in a RS like the New York Times. In the Muhammad Ali vs. Oscar Bonavena article, the proding editor deleted three separate references i had given to articles from the New York Times pertaining to this fight. For two of these references he claimed in the edit history that they were irrelevant since they were published before the fight took place. (The third NY Times article, which actually reviewed the fight, was deleted by him on the ground of citation overkill.) But in my opinion the basic structure of a boxing fight article necessarily includes sections like "Background" and/or "Buildup" for the purpose of completeness.For the Ali fight articles, my vote is for Keep. Soham321 (talk) 02:26, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am the creator of all the stubs for these Ali fights. Now as you can see i have actually expanded on the stubs for some of the fights. For example, Muhammad Ali vs. Henry Cooper and Muhammad Ali vs. Chuck Wepner. This shows that the stubs can be expanded into full articles. I started creating stubs for the fights while giving sufficient RS (from books and articles) because i hoped to arouse sufficient interest in others to expand on the stubs and save myself the trouble of writing up all the articles.Soham321 (talk) 18:02, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: After putting up five of the Ali fights for deletion in this page, the prodding editor WilliamJE has now started nominating other Ali fight for deletion through separate (individual) AfD pages. I would suggest that for efficiency each Ali fight which the prodding editor would like to nominate for deletion should be put up in this page so that this issue can be resolved in a holistic and efficient manner. I would also suggest that the prodding editor risks exhausting the community's patience if he goes around nominating individual Ali fights for deletion on separate pages instead of on a single page (this page). If an Admin is reading this, i would like them to intervene at this juncture. We are here to create an encyclopedia, and any argument about whether a WP article(s) is suitable for deletion or not must be settled as efficiently as possible. I suggest that the AfD notices on the other Ali fights which the prodding editor has made be deleted immediately and those fights be included in this page. I am aware of WP:BLUDGEON, but the prodding editor's behavior necessitates that i remind everyone that WP articles on Mike Tyson's boxing fights already exist. See {{Mike Tyson}}.Soham321 (talk) 20:59, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • 1- Get an administrator if you want. I've broken no Wikipedia policy

      I do know the difference between a PROD and an AfD. I accept my mistake in calling you the prodding editor.WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is an unofficial user essay, and not official WP policy. The official WP policy which is applicable here is WP:IGNORE in my opinion for reasons given by other editors on this page. Soham321 (talk) 21:33, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Adding further articles to AfDs that have existed for a few days is problematic for a number of reasons especially if there have been a number of comments offered. In the past when I did that in the name of efficiency I was rightly called on it. It would not have been a problem if Soham321 had suspended his blanket inclusion of all fights to see how this AfD turned out.Peter Rehse (talk) 21:26, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    On the contrary i am now going to finish writing up the stubs for all the remaining Ali fights by today itself. Since this issue must be resolved as efficiently as possible. We are here to create an encyclopedia and not to keep arguing endlessly about whether certain WP pages need to be preserved or deleted. Soham321 (talk) 21:35, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment WP pages have now been created for all the Ali fights. So any proposed deletions can be discussed in an efficient and holistic manner on this page itself, rather than conducting this exercise over multiple AfD pages (discussing AfDs for individual Ali fights on separate AfD pages). Soham321 (talk) 01:08, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep All The sources all seem to pass WP:RS and significant coverage has been met per WP:NOTABILITY. ReusGang (talk) 13:14, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. The fundamental point of WP's array of inclusion guidelines is to ask the question, "Can an encyclopedic article be written about this subject?" When the subject is a fight that includes Muhammad Ali, one of the most written-about figures of the 20th century, the answer to that question will invariably be "Yes". A Traintalk 16:47, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and object to this bundling - I'm sure that there are some fights involving Ali that aren't really historical in the grand scheme of things. However, right now, we have a bunch of different fights bundled together. It seems that at least a few of them have received notable news coverage, particularly in terms of changes in boxing culture being noticed.

Ethanolic extract of mango peel[edit]

Ethanolic extract of mango peel (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Not notable. I tried to redirect this to mango previously, but it was reverted on the ground that ethanolic peel extract wasn't mentioned there. Trying deletion now. There's no good way to mention ethanolic peel extract in the mango article, as the sources that talk about it aren't WP:MEDRS compliant. There are also non MEDRS sources that talk about acetone extracts ([17]) and 7 different solvent systems ([18]). There are may well be studies on mango seed/leaf/bark/pulp extracts with water/hexane/acetone/ethanol/methanol as solvents.

Aside from the now removed medical claims, we're left with a indiscriminate list of secondary compounds in mango peel ethanol extracts. Mango#Phytochemicals does mention some secondary compounds, but there's no reason to think that an extract of a particular part of the plant with a particular solvent is notable. Plantdrew (talk) 15:18, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just any random part. The peel and perhaps also the seed are parts most likely to contain agents of interest. As far as medicinal extracts are concerned, an ethanolic extract is probably the most common type. It may be okay to delete the article, but not on the basis of faulty assertions. --Hyperforin (talk) 16:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as a content fork of Mango#Phytochemicals.

Delete:- This page should be deleted because in the original epic this character was never mentioned. Karna have only one wife. This character is a later edition. It is created by novelist Shivaji Sawant in his book Mirtunjaya. Before this book her character was never mentioned not even in the folkfore. At 7th century Sudra was allowed to marry once that is why it was impossible for Karna to marry twice. In the article we can see a quoto by queen Gandhari where she mention at the frst sentence that Behold, the wife of Karna and mother of Vrishasena look carefully in the sentence it mention wife of Karna not wive of Karna this is another prove that Karna have only one wife. In this view this character is a pure later edition thus this article should be deleted. Ishi2345 (talkcontribs) 05:20, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete:- I agree with Ishi2345 (talkcontribs) 05:20, 4 October 2016 (UTC). At the original epic there was no Supriya. Karna have only one wife whose name never mentioned in the epic. As Karna's birth name was Vrisha for that his wife would be called Vrishali or Vrushali. For more information check the wikipedia page of Vrushali. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vividha22 (talkcontribs) 10:00, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, non-notable character. I know absolutely nothing about this subject, but I found this article because of this edit to another article, which appeared to me to be promoting a novelist called Siwaji Savant. I then went to investigate and undid a similar edit to Supriya, which also seemed fishy to me, so it's been on my watchlist ever since. I have no reason not to trust the opinions above, so I'm voting delete. I've also standardised the format of this AFD and am about to link it in today's log, so more people can find it.

We must not discuss whether the character did exist or not (that is not our work, we don't do original research), but whether it is notable or not. Anup [Talk] 07:51, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Aren't all these fictional works, including Sawant's? Vrushali herself finds little mention in the original Mahabharata. So how do you gauge extended fictional characters of mythology? I would say that if they find significant mentions in historic texts then they should be considered notable. Supriya doesn't seem to get to that level yet. Maybe more and more fanfiction would churn around her and then few centuries ahead she could be notable. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 08:59, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Dharmadhyaksha: What about "merge" with Karna article? I do not mean to corrupt historical beliefs held by followers of the religion based on epic Mahabharata. I'm just saying that this thing has received some coverage in multiple publications and we should summarize those information in our encyclopedia article. We will make it explicit in there that, Supriya has no mention in ancient texts and found only in works of A, B, C, ..D writers. Anup [Talk] 09:16, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed that a discussion is already started by you for merge of Vrushali article to Karna. Include this one in on-going discussion? There are many versions of Mahabharata, and I've read none of them (minutes before downloaded Vyas's one translated by K. M. Ganguly, ctrl+f found no mention of both wives). Anup [Talk] 09:25, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Am against mentioning anything in Karna based on fanfictions. Do we have any historic book mentioning Supriya anywhere? What are you going to write? That Karna who is a mythological character of a 400 BCE text has a wife who is mentioned in 21st century AD fictional books? That will be a joke!
I myself have no knowledge of where else has Supriya been mentioned. Pining @Redtigerxyz: for that.§§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:38, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we are writing here a replica of historical epic (that we will consider only epic and contents within discussed by others). I want it to be "sum of all available knowledge" including all prevalent major view-points. And that will not be a "joke" but "knowledge" on a topic from 400 B.C up to present. Anup [Talk] 10:14, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree with your way of handling mythological characters. Notable and academic view-points should be mentioned. Rest all should stay out of an encyclopaedia. For example, recent depictions of Shiva in soap operas show him to be a six-packed hunky figure. Until that becomes a standard depictions few centuries ahead I don't think it should find mention in his attributes. A lot of mythological characters on WP get edited based on these soap operas, what screenplay is added to such shows to get TRP and get female audiences weeping eventually finds it way on WP. You may check out histories of some minor characters of Ramayana, wives of Laxman, Bharata and Shatrughna for such editing trends. These wives have not been getting any attention historically in literature from academics. But maybe they are being played by hot chicks on some tv show and hence their narratives on WP have changed from "is a character from Ramayana" to "is an important character from Ramayana". Cheers to the PR strategies of media houses. I won't be surprised if Supriya also has started just like that based on some melodrama that’s being aired somewhere on some channel. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:48, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I welcome your disagreement. I disagree with your analogy of "Supriya" subject of multiple publications with characters appearing in TV soap-operas. Wikipedia is based on published reliable sources (not any other kinds).
If you believe all these publications are a work of fiction; it still need to be summarized in our article. Will you agree for a "In popular culture" section? Where we could summarize these knowledge from various publications.
I do not intend to invoke 'otherstuffsexist', but your stand here and at Vrushali article is complete opposite to each-other. Both are a similar topic and not mentioned by name in Mahabharata, and quality of sources for them are almost equivalent. Anup [Talk] 14:56, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I will comment on the content related to Supriya when the exact content is proposed. Karna is always subject to fans and the article keeps fluctuating a lot. I have given up keeping that article clean as it never happens. So I will most probably not object to any kind of crappy stuff also written on that article.
I accept the contradiction in both stands. But that has been because Vrushali's emergence as karna's wife predates that of Supriya or Urvi. Frankly I have never read anything about Urvi. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 10:38, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest, I never heard of any of the wives of Karna. As far as the topic of Hindu religion goes, my knowledge is very much limited to the glorious DD National's Mahabharata and Ramayana. My comments in here are totally based on what I get out of our policies and guidelines.
I think, we at the very least are able to write that the name of Vrushali, Supriya and Urvi emerged as wives of Karna only in XX century (or X,Y,Z year respectively) in works of XXX, YYY, and ZZZ. If sources are not 'academic' research, we can push all these stuffs in popular culture where I believe we can write more than any other character of Mahabharata. Anup [Talk] 15:21, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Karna: The epic Mahabharata does not name Karna's wives; though his sons are named. The Stri Parva does record her sorrow, she is unnamed. Even the name Vrushali is a recent invention; like Supriya or Urvi. We can state these three names in the Karna article. I am not against having articles on recent mythological inventions. We do have an article on a recent Hindu goddess who emerged in the last century, but developed cult status and notability. However, IMO Supriya does not have that notability currently to have a standalone article. --Redtigerxyz Talk 12:44, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Karna: There are not enough verifiable contents to justify a standalone piece for subject under discussion. There are some coverage in multiple publications listed above (should be some more what I was unable to find), but they provide the almost identical contents in them for this topic which doesn't go beyond 4-5 sentences. It should better be merged with the related existing article, Karna per MERGEREASON#3. Anup [Talk] 06:42, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete:- I completely agree with the nominator. There is no reason to merge this article to Karna because she was not wife of Karna. As Mahabharata clearly state Karna have only one wife.For verification we can take Gandhari's lamentation as a prove. In Stri parva Queen Gandhari must record his wife's sorrow without mentioning her name.

Behold, the wife of Karna and mother of Vrishasena, is indulging in piteous lamentations and crying and weeping and falling upon the ground! Even now she exclaims, "Without doubt, thy preceptor’s curse hath pursued thee! When the wheel of thy car was swallowed up by the Earth, the cruel Dhananjaya cut off thy head with an arrow! Alas, fie (on the heroism and skill)!" That lady, the mother of Sushena, exceedingly afflicted and uttering cries of woe, is falling down, deprived of her senses, at the sight of the mighty-armed and brave Karna prostrated on the earth, with his waist still encircled with a belt of gold. Carnivorous creatures, feeding on the body of that illustrious hero, have reduced it to very small dimensions. The sight is not gladdening, like that of the moon on the fourteenth night of the dark fortnight. Falling down on the earth, the cheerless dame is rising up again. Burning with grief on account of the death of her son also, she cometh and smelleth the face of her lord!

-Stri parva: chapter 21. (For more information check this: http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/m11/m11020.htm.)

Queen Gandhari's statement is a clear prove that Karna has only one wife. As Mahabharata did not mention her name scholar called her as Vrishali . The name Vrishali makes sense because Karna's original name of was Vrisha or Brisha as per original epic, hence his wife would be called as Vrishali also called as Brishali or Vrushali. At this point we can say that whatever mention in this article of being Supriya mentioned in Mahabharata as second wife of Karna is completely wrong. Now we should think why we can not call Karna's wife as Supriya. Now we have to anlyse what Mahabharat sate about Karna's wife ( the original wife). The Mahabharata state that the wife of Karna was from suta clan and their marriage was arranged by Karna's father. But this article state that she was friend of Bhanumati. She expressed her desire to marry Karna on seeing him at Bhanumati's swayamvara ( self choice ceremony). But at the time of self choice ceremony of Bhanumati there is no reference of her any friend. Let alone her that friend who want to marry Karna.

Now at last we can say that this article provide only wrong information about the largest poem of the world that's why it should be deleted.Tupur16 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:17, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You should open and read WP:Notability guideline (it'd help you to formulate more convincing arguments). The "wrong information" in your comment is open multiple interpretations. Do you think Wikipedia should not have an article on Flat Earth (because it is proven to be untrue)? Wikipedia doesn't write anything new.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: This is an interesting discussion. The older printed versions of AFL stat books will remain reliable sources despite being superseded by new versions, no? So is there an argument for updating the Wikipedia article with a mention of the errata? What if the article is recreated in the future by someone using an older stat book as the reference?

  • Comment Could we redirect Bill McNabb to List of St Kilda Football Club players, with a note in the latter mentioning this discrepancy? (that article is referenced from afltables.com so as it stands he's not listed). As User:Coolabahapple said he may hold notability as a historical aberration and that may solve the issue raised by User:A Train of someone recreating the article using an older source. Jevansen (talk) 01:21, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect – I support this as a redirect to List of St Kilda Football Club players as AFL tables is generally pretty reliable, but completely deleting it does not sit comfortable with me until there is an update from an official source, which will most likely be the next edition of the book.

The subject fails WP:NBIO - as an earlier AfD concluded anyway. This is just a media industry person doing his job, which occasionally involves appearing on TV, but being in the big box does not make one notable - not unless one is discussed by other independent sources, and this person is not. The best source here is an interview related to "In 2009 he was chosen as one of the 25 most successful young entrepreneurs of the Netherlands." This not a major award, not enough to estabilish him notable, and the interview is not a quality source (see WP:INTERVIEW). This nomination follows up on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vladislav Yakovlev (television executive), where his predecessor's bio was deleted, with closing admin concluding "Being a television producer or being on a show isn't notable by itself; that isn't our criteria."

  • Keep this person is not just a former executive supervisor, but was actually an entrepreneur who created the website ESCToday before his role as an exec. Internet searches verify that Bakker quit his role as exec supervisor for the EBU earlier this year. He is also an author of 2 books, How To Live Wow!? (2011) and The Sparkle (2016). So if we are going to delete an author, then will the nominator start AfDing other authors such as Stephen King, Beatrix Potter, and many thousands of authors? The nom's rationale that the "subject fails WP:NBIO" can also be debunked, per WP:AUTHOR which is permissible. Wes Mouse  T@lk 12:35, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I did not realise that we had to play "show and tell" in these kind of debates. The WP:BURDEN is not with me, Piotrus, it is with you to demonstrate the works are not significant. This person is not a TV Executive, to which you are using as a claim for deletion. In fact Bakker was an entrepreneur first, just like Richard Branson. He was then recruited by a broadcasting organisation, and quit that job to become an author and recently the CEO of Scrn - a digital agency. All of which is detailed and verified in his official website. And let's just remind you of something too. You should stop with the discouraging towards others comments for the reasons to keep. You are turning things into a WP:BATTLEGROUND which is suppose to be avoidable, and it is not helpful that your actions come across as intimidation. People are entitled to voice their opinion to keep, just like you are to voice your opinion in your nomination. But to intimidate other's by basically knocking down their reasons is unacceptable. Read their comments, yes. Attack them, no. Wes Mouse  T@lk 13:35, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Assume good faith, Wesley, there was no overt hostility from Piotrus. Attack the argument, not the person. I fail to see how one rebuttal is enough to make this discussion a "battleground."
Also, on the contrary, the burden of proof of your argument, that Bakker is notable because his books are notable, lies on you.
Documentation about Bakker's life taken from his own website is NOT an acceptable argument, and it certainly does not constitute proof of notability. Anybody can write about their own life on their own website.
Your arguments regarding other authors and entrepreneurs are also invalid, as there are tons of authors and entrepreneurs who are not notable. It's not exactly convincing to compare Bakker to Stephen King or Richard Branson. They are household names with a long list of third-party, independent sources that discuss their work and life in detail. Mr. Gerbear|Talk 01:17, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Firstly I don't see enough sources and secondly this is a BIO1E. Notability cannot be inherited. The coverage of the subject is specifically about the Eurovision context. In fact the quality of coverage is like the one a spokesperson gets - covered in context of the company, not in context of themself. There is nothing to show that the subject is independently notable. (The references in the article consist of 1 source to the Eurovision site which is not independent, second - link to an interview on a potentially unreliable site, third - which doesn't work and fourth - to a directory listing of a book. None of this is significant coverage and doesn't justify a separate article. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:40, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The subject fails WP:NBIO. This is just a media industry person doing his job, which occasionally involves appearing on TV, but being in the big box does not make one notable - not unless one is discussed by other independent sources, and this person is not. He had been interviewed twice, but per WP:INTERVIEW, interviews are not high-quality sources as they are significantly self-published (subject talks about himself). I cannot comment on the 404 Swedish interview, but I looked at the English one in the Internet Archive and I am not impressed: it is short, it focuses not on him but on the EuroVision, and I do not believe such a short piece that's almost off-topic on him in a minor outlet approaches anywhere near making him notable.

There was even a Lulu author page that stated this as well. The article had a mild promotional tone to it (not enough to warrant speedying it, but enough to notice) but this makes it seem that much more promotional.

I did, however, find evidence that shows that there is an undisclosed COI here and that the book was published through a company that the author founded himself. Neither of these two things are issues that would necessarily make a book non-notable, but in this case it does seem to make it less likely that coverage does not exist, as it's never really a heartening sign when an author has to not only publish their own book, but write their own article.

I came across this page as an A7 speedy, but it doesn't cleanly apply here since he does have a minor role in a notable upcoming film.

That said, the role is "Hong Kong Office Worker" so it's not the type that would make him notable enough to keep on that basis alone or even mention in the main article for the film. A search brings up nothing that would establish notability, as he doesn't seem to have gained any sort of coverage for his work as a whole. The guy exists, but existing and working in a specific career is not in itself inherently notable. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:55, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What about his 100K twitter followers? Surely that's a notable amount of fans. Also in August 2014, his current published book was the #1 bestseller Seanismuk (talk) 19:10, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Fan counts do not count for notability on Wikipedia, partially due to sites where you can purchase a substantial amount of followers. I'm not saying that this is what happened with Ridder, but it's common enough to where popularity does not make someone notable. Also, Amazon sales rankings do not count towards notability on Wikipedia. This is for a number of reasons such as it being difficult to track rankings and because there are so many different "lists" on there - after a while the categories grow so specific that achieving a good sales rank isn't a hugely monumental task, especially if the work is given out for free - which is the case here. Additional reasons for this stem from the same issue as buying Twitter followers - people can and have found ways to artificially alter their sales rankings on Amazon. Again, not saying that he's doing it, just that people have and it's a pretty visible and well known issue on there. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:11, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Notability must be established by sourcing in the here and now and there just isn't anything out there to show that he's notable as an actor or an author. As far as the existence of articles on other self-published authors goes, per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS pointing out these other articles is not an argument for inclusion. Some of those authors might fail notability guidelines and should have their articles deleted while others would pass. The existence of those articles doesn't mean that an article on someone who fails WP:NAUTHOR or other criteria should remain. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:35, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let's get ridder him. His book is a "#1 bestseller" ... according to him, and him alone. (On the other hand, Goodreads says it was downloaded "over 5000 times".

  • Strong delete His one work to date, a short story, is not enough to pass notability as a writer. I agree there are lots of other articles on non-notable writers, but this is not a reason to keep this one. His upcoming novel may at some point be key to his notability, but not at this point. For that matter, since it is upcoming, we do not know it will be published. That he has some role in a film with a 2018 release date may be verifiable, but the role does not look to be significant, and even if it was he would need two such roles to count as notable as an actor, but they need to be significant, and his role in the 2018 film does not look to be.

  • Draft Further research shows subject is of relatively younger year- is probably going to get more roles in the future.

  • I don't have any huge issue with drafting the content, but the problem with this is that there's no way to predict that he will gain future roles. Sometimes people can and do go on to bigger and better things, but in most cases a creative professional will never gain that foothold and will never have the ability to sink into obscurity because they never became all that well known. Ridder has apparently only had one role, a background character without a name (and likely non-speaking), and has self-published books that has never received any sort of coverage in independent RS. My concern is that cultivating a draftspace article will just result in an article that will likely remain in the draftspace for years, if not forever. As far as the Spielberg role goes, notability is not automatically inherited (WP:NOTINHERITED) by Spielberg directing the film. The average blockbuster film will have dozens, possibly even hundreds of extras that are named things like "Office Worker #5" or "Girl in coffeeshop". Even the role being on IMDb isn't an indication of the size or importance of the role, since roles of this nature are typically added by the extra rather than the production company, as the company has nothing to gain by adding them while the extra can use it to bolster their resume. Now what would make the role notable is if news outlets or other independent RS were to cover the actor and their role, which doesn't seem to have happened here. To put this in perspective, my father was an extra in the Emmy award nominated Delbert Mann film Ironsides and he was even visible in one scene (my sisters and I were uncredited extras only visible in the distance during a later scene), but he is not automatically notable because he was part of the movie.

This appears to be an WP:INDISCRIMINATE list of people who are Filipino, with no real inclusion criteria. I don't know what "in international fame" actually means in the real world. The whole list is a BLP nightmare, supported by one "source". And I don't know what to make of the random picture gallery that takes up the last part of the article. I'm amazed this page has existed for more than 13 years too! Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 07:54, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The list seems to be an indiscriminate list of Filipino people with Wikipedia articles. "international fame" is subjective and many people in the list just happened to have a career outside the Philippines but may not be famous internationally. Manny Pacquiao may be one of the people who achieved international fame but players in the national team may not be internationally famous except the star players (but even this is not a guarantee).

    • Comment @Thincat: That is a category page, not an article. It was automatically-created to list pages related to universities/university ranks because the individual pages were tagged with that category. It's part of how Wikipedia works. It simply lists the articles of that category, and is fine. However, this article is a list of every university rank, which goes against WP:NOTDIRECTORY as it doesn't add extra to our understanding of anything related to universities or university rankings, is just information that was aggregated and pasted from various sites online, and is frankly a waste of Wikipedia server space.

      The article notes:

      When Ruben Garcia Jr. was a young FBI agent in Miami in the 1980s, he chased down Colombian drug traffickers and organized crime thugs.

      ...

      Today, the 23-year FBI veteran continues to distinguish himself in Washington, D.C., as the bureau's newly appointed executive assistant director for criminal investigations.

      ...

      A native of Brownfield, Garcia was born to Mexican immigrant parents who worked in the cotton fields. Ortiz characterizes Garcia's modest roots as "poor but always honorable."

      A natural athlete, Garcia attended Texas Tech University where he "helped put the Red Raiders in the spotlight with a legendary 1971 pitching duel" against University of Texas' famed pitcher Burt Hooton, according to a 1996 Express-News article.

      ...

      He joined the FBI in 1978 and first was assigned to the San Diego Division, where he investigated bank robberies, kidnappings and other violent crimes. In Miami, Garcia would eventually head up the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, but Ortiz - now the assistant special agent in charge of the San Antonio Division - remembered their days there as "regular gumshoe investigators" on the trail of drug dealers.

      The article notes:

      Ruben Garcia Jr., named Wednesday to head the FBI's investigation of anthrax exposure in Palm Beach County, has been the agency's out-front figure on some of its highest-profile cases in recent years.

      ...

      As the FBI's assistant director in charge of the criminal investigative division, Garcia is the agency's third highest ranking officer and its highest ranking Hispanic.

      ...

      A graduate of Texas Tech University with a bachelor's degree in business administration, Garcia joined the FBI in 1978 and spent his first assignment in the San Diego division.

      In October 1982, he joined the FBI office in Miami, where he worked for six years, primarily on drug-related investigations.

      He returned to San Diego in 1988 as supervisor of that office. Three years later, he was assigned to the FBI headquarters in Washington, where as a supervisor he managed national investigations into organized crime, drugs and violent crimes.

      In 1994, he transferred to the FBI's San Antonio division, first as assistant special agent in charge and then as special agent in charge. His duties included oversight of investigations involving white-collar crimes, national security, domestic terrorism and civil rights.

      ...

      He once wanted to be a professional baseball player. As a pitcher, he posted the second-best earned run average at Texas Tech and signed a contract with the Kansas City Royals organization. His career peaked in Class AAA, one step below the majors.

      The article notes:

      As he readied to leave San Antonio, the first Hispanic to lead the local FBI office said his most noteworthy accomplishments here have been to promote communication within the office and partnerships with other law enforcement groups.

      In about two weeks, FBI Special Agent-in-Charge Ruben Garcia will leave the Alamo City for Washington, D.C., where he will take over as the FBI's assistant director for the personnel division, which oversees the agency's 25,000 employees.

      ...

      Garcia was assistant special agent-in-charge in San Antonio from June 1994 until he was named to the top management slot July 26, 1996.

      ...

      One of Garcia's priorities when he took charge was to boost morale in the San Antonio office, which in the early 1990s was rocked by a lawsuit local Hispanic agents filed claiming discrimination and retaliation.

      ...

      The native of Brownfield said he is looking forward to a new challenge at FBI headquarters, but added it is hard to leave San Antonio.

      The article notes:

      Garcia, a Brownfield native, served as assistant and then as special agent in charge of FBI's San Antonio field office from June 1994 until June 1998. He was responsible for combating domestic terrorism, national-security threats, civil-rights violations and white-collar crimes.

      During his 21 years with the FBI, Garcia has also worked in the agency's San Diego and Miami field offices, where he primarily investigated drug crimes. In addition, he served at FBI headquarters from 1991 to 1994 as a supervisor in the Organized Crime/Drug Section and the Violent Crimes and Major Offenders Section in the Criminal Investigative Division.

      Garcia, 48, has a bachelor's degree in business administration from Texas Tech University.

      The article notes:

      Mr. Garcia's road to the FBI's upper echelon began on Aug. 15, 1951, in Brownfield, Texas. He describes his hometown as a place "where the wind blows and the dust is everywhere. A great spot. I love it."

      He grew up wanting to play major league baseball and he was a good enough pitcher to win a scholarship to nearby Texas Tech University.

      After posting a 21-10 record with an earned run average of 2.06 - second best in Red Raider history - Mr. Garcia signed a contract with the Kansas City Royals organization. He made it all the way to AAA ball, one step away from the major leagues.

      "As I say, I went from a prospect to a suspect in baseball," Mr. Garcia said. "I looked toward other things."

      A relative worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, so he applied. The bureau hired Mr. Garcia in 1978, assigning him first to its San Diego office.

      The article notes:

      With little fanfare, Ruben Garcia on Monday is to become the first Hispanic special agent-in-charge of the local FBI office.

      ...

      Born in Brownfield, he is a former Texas Tech Hall of Fame baseball player who spent four years in the Kansas City Royals minor league organization.

      A 1971 All-American left-handed pitcher who has been described as having a buggy-whip delivery, Garcia spent a couple of years in retail management before moving on to the FBI in 1978.

      He was a street agent for 10 years handling violent crimes in California and drug cases in Florida.

      ...

      He and his wife, Virginia, have been married 13 years.

    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Ruben Garcia Jr. to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Because the article sinply goes to such specifics about hin, it's clear he was the one supplying it.

The magazine Valhalla (citation number 13 and 17) is also independently generated. Erikputz (talk) 09:41, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You can't go with two independent sources and 17 primary ones, and say that WP:GNG has been met. While primary sources can be used sparingly for additional confirmation of stray facts not covered by an RS — e.g. in a BLP you can cite the subject's own primary website for basic biographical details, like where they were born or what university they attended, that might not make it into the media coverage — but the reliable, independent sources have to be more than half, ideally as close as possible to 80 or 90 per cent, of all the sourcing.
That said, we actually don't have any rule that the sources have to be web-published, such that it would be necessary to directly upload a scanned image of a newspaper or magazine article anywhere — while we certainly like to provide a convenience link to a web-published copy of the content when possible, you can cite print-only sources, such as newspaper or magazine articles or books, without linking to a web copy. I don't know whether there's enough print-only coverage out there to make the difference between an NMUSIC pass or fail here, but if some more print-only coverage does exist you are allowed to cite it.

  • Delete unless sources are included in the article, the claim that they exist is not enough to keep the article. Especially since "sources exist" in no way gaurantees that they are reliable, 3rd party secondary sources that give substantive coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:00, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Johnpacklambert, sources never need to be included in the article if we are evaluating it for notability standards at AfD. We need only show that they exist at all, see WP:NEXIST. Best practice would be to add found sources to the article, or lacking the time/inclination to do so, link them in the AfD discussion. If we haven't found any sources when doing WP:BEFORE, then absolutely, we can say the article should be deleted since no RS have turned up.

According to the Danish Wikipedia article on Mayor, da:Borgmester in Copenhagen a mayor is the head of a specific management area , not necessarily the head of the city government. In his case, the succession of positions indicates he is just the director of various city departments, and therefore there is no presumption of notability.

Delete. While consensus formerly allowed city councillors in Winnipeg to be considered notable per WP:NPOL #3, that consensus has now been deprecated as no longer applicable. Nothing here constitutes a strong claim that she's more notable than the norm for a city councillor, however; there are just two sources here, and they're both WP:ROUTINE coverage of her election results. Full disclosure, I'm actually the original creator here, back when consensus permitted them — but as I'm not the only substantive editor since then, I can't just speedy it as "creator requests deletion".

  • Keep, I have had a look at her coverage in media and there seems to be more that adequate coverage other than her winning . Quite a bit of coverage on a range of issues and events. Karl Twist (talk) 11:35, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You can't just say that coverage exists; you have to show your work. Firstly, city councillors always generate coverage in their local media, by virtue of the fact that covering local politics is what local media is for — so local coverage of a city councillor is WP:ROUTINE, with GNG not met until the coverage is expanding beyond the local media into nationalized sources like The Globe and Mail. And secondly, people often just count up the raw text-string matches on a person's name, without adequately assessing which ones constitute substantive coverage about her and which ones just constitute glancing namechecks of her existence — we have to evaluate the quality of the references, not just the number of text matches.
And no, the new sources you've added to the article aren't cutting the mustard. "ChrisD.ca" is a blog, not a reliable source — and The Uniter is a student newspaper at one of Winnipeg's universities, which is a class of sourcing that's deprecated as not able to carry notability. And even if we discount those facts and take all of the sources at face value, they're all still local media where coverage of a city councillor is routinely expected to exist, when city councillors only get articles if and when their coverage nationalizes well beyond the purely local.

  • Keep - I can't find any scholarly sources that are about the paper, just sources that quote from the paper. So I don't, myself, see a great GNG argument here, which I would prefer. It does seem to meet WP:BOOKCRIT 3, 4, and 5. 3 because White's and to some extent Loughborough's writings in the paper are of some influence. Also, looking at some google books mentions, the paper played a role more recently in discussions within Adventism about female ordination. 4 and 5 again based in part on White's, Loughborough's, and Jaeger's writings in the journal, the study of which would entail reading the journal. I'm not an expert on Adventism, but White was a key founder (according to her wikipedia page, the Smithsonian magazine named her among the 100 Most Significant Americans) and I think the Recorder seems to be a key publication for her and thus is notable in its historic period. WP:OLDBOOK does mention taking into account a book's value as a historical source. More recently, it is a paper for the Pacific Union Conference of the church and has a very large circulation (admittedly, this is currently cited to an old link on the paper's website).

Chemical compounds must meet the general notability guideline to be included in Wikipedia. This is simply not a notable chemical compound. Although there a couple of passing mentions in the scientific literature and apparently a listing in a book about the etymology of some chemical names, none of these sources are about the subject of this article. The only report that I can find where kairine gets even moderate attention (Antipyretics of the tetrahydroquinoline series, Bockmuhl, M.; Dorzbach, E. Med. u. Chem. (1942), 4, 179-212) is 75 years old and claims kairine has a different chemical structure than what is described in the article (ethylhydroxytetrahydroquinoline rather than methylhydroxytetrahydroquinoline). None of the references I could find have an author named Fischer, the supposed discoverer of this chemical according to our article. Overall, the subject of this article fails WP:Notability and the content fails WP:Verifiability and therefore this article should be deleted. ChemNerd (talk) 12:35, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep on "once notable, always notable" grounds. In the late 19th century, kairine say use as an antipyretic. In the literature of the day, the methyl derivative was referred to as kainine m and the ethyl form as kairine a or kainine e; the latter apparently the more widely used in pharmacology. It has substantial side effects, and evidently was primarily used to treat typhoid fever, before being largely supplanted by antipyrine (phenazone) and then, of course, aspirin. Nevertheless, it was discussed fairly widely in the medical literature of the time:
  • Likely the best of the references, clarifying the methyl/ethyl issue and detailing side effects: Fruitnight, J. Henry (1886). "Kairine and Antipyrine". Medical Record. 29 (23): 646–648.
  • Providing details of its development, including the scientist responsible (Otto Fischer at the University of Munich): Fischer, Wilhelm (1883). "On Kairine and Kairoline". New Remedies. 12 (2): 41.
  • And, although it's a relatively trivial mention, one modern source describing kairine as "one of the first planned synthesis of a drug": Slater, Leo Barney (2009). War and Disease: Biomedical Research on Malaria in the Twentieth Century. Rutgers University Press. p. 26. ISBN 978-0-8135-4438-0.
Considerable other options from 19th century literature are available, as well as a few mentions in the literature of the past, say, 30 years. The stub needs cleaned up, clarified, and improved, but I think there's adequate material to warrant retention. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 14:42, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Squeamish Ossifrage: That's great! I guess my literature search failed to extend back to the 1800s. I think this certainly addresses the notability issue. Can you please update the article with what you have found to address the verifiability issues and possible confusion over the identity of the chemical structure? ChemNerd (talk) 13:11, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Plan to. I'm going to take another spin through searches to see if I can find anything else before jumping into a rewrite, but it's on my to-do list. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 13:21, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Squeamish Ossifrage. Worth noting that many drugs considered outdated and obsolete in rich western countries often continue to be used in parts of the third world, so if this has validated medical use as an antipyretic it is certainly notable.

Delete. WP:BLP of a musician whose only discernible notability claim is that he's been a supporting member of several bands of varying notability. But that's not an automatic WP:NMUSIC pass for a person who isn't himself the subject of enough reliable source coverage to have attained independent notability as an individual -- and the referencing here is entirely to primary sources like the (deadlinked) sales page for an album on an online music store, his (deadlinked) bio on the webpage of an organization he's a member of, and his band's (deadlinked) profile in CBC Music's "artist streaming" section (which does not represent coverage being conferred on him by the CBC, as it's a section of that site where all qualifying artists get to put themselves on the site, and write self-published EPK bios of themselves.) So nothing here demonstrates that he's notable enough to have a standalone BLP. Bearcat (talk) 19:08, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a person whose strongest claims of notability are being chief of staff to a U.S. senator and being a non-winning candidate in a party primary. Neither of these constitutes an WP:NPOL pass, so it's "pass WP:GNG on the sourcing or bust" -- but what we have for sourcing here is two local news articles about the primary race, two local news articles about non-notable distinctions like being named to his high school's alumni hall of fame or serving as interim athletic director of a university, a raw table of primary election results, a deadlink on a blog, and his own primary source website about himself. This is not a WP:GNG pass. First discussion was far too strongly influenced by the "notable because the campaign is currently underway" argument, which consensus has much more unequivocally quashed in the 2010s.

Whitney was the second counselor in two different Relief Society presidencies. The Women of Character reference is a secondary reference, and I added another (the book In Their Own Words). Would you consider these two sources enough to establish notability? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:32, 29 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • undecided I created this article 12 years ago, but I'm on the fence about whether or not she meets the current standard of notability. The Woman of Character book might not be enough, because she is apparently just one of 100 featured Mormon women. I don't have access to In Their Own Words, but from its description on Amazon, it seems that the book uses statements by at least 10 women, including Whitney, as primary source material to convey a female perspective on the story of Mormons in Nauvoo. So the book doesn't necessarily establish Whitney's notability in her own right. It seems like the author is mainly interested in what she has to say about an otherwise male-centric story. We need more articles featuring women, so I dislike the idea of merging this material into her husband's article unless we have to, but we're fighting against the hard reality that women like Whitney are from highly patriarchal cultures where they, and their contributions, have tended to fade into the background of male stories.

  • delete. Thought about this a while; the presentation is so different from anything else in WP that I had a kneejerk reaction to delete. Then I thought about it. I have concerns about copyvio from UptoDate (I don't have access to the subscription so cannot tell). Figures are unsourced, a problem in itself, and are maybe (?) copyvio from the university of washington copyrighted vizhub site. There appears to pure WP:OR like " Despite stroke being the leading cause of death (and increasing with time), there are few references specific to stroke prevention or treatment efforts. Generally speaking, focus on non-communicable disease does not appear at the top of priority lists. One reason for this may be the quality of health services".... Not to mention stuff like "Indonesia 1 is the largest economy in Southeast Asia with nearly 260 million people, but like so many other countries, it has passed into the third stage of the Epidemiological Transition[Transition]: The Age of Man-made Diseases. Indonesians must recognize non-communicable diseases as their largest health burden and ensure their health infrastructure can meet the unique and increasing demands resulting from these types of diseases." which is WP:SOAPBOX.

WP:TNT implies that a better version can be created, but would I like to see a wikified article under the same title? No, because there are no reliable sources that specifically describe the concept of a "top 3 disease burden" in Indonesia.

This AFD was requested via OTRS ticket:2016092010011869, by a person who wishes to remain anonymous. I am not taking any position in this AFD, merely posting this on his or her behalf. The nominator's statement follows:

Tony C Miller has been working as a cinematographer for at best 6 -7 years. In the film industry, (especially as a cinematographer) that is a very very short time to garner the notability and professional acumen that your site insists on as a requirement.

His Wiki page states he has been active since 1998 which is inaccurate and misleading. He worked previously at a different job, as a gaffer. He did his first job as a cinematographer in 2009 and did not start working full time in that profession until 2012. All his credits/references are post 2009.

Typically, cinematographers start by shooting music videos, commercials and short films and move on to drama and fiction as their skill base grows.

He has not won any awards in his own name. The ones he sites are awards for the productions he has worked on. Awards and ratings for music videos are usually based on the music artist. The success of the music track is down to the band and the publicity associated with it and the videos creative director. It is not associated with the 20 technicians (including the cinematographer) who worked on the video. This is self evidently misleading in his Wiki bio.

To illustrate my point, “The Great British Bake Off” is viewed by 14 million people and has won awards as a reality show. Its success is not associated with its cinematography. To claim so as a cinematographer would be in accurate.

In category ‘Notable’ – his work is misleading. As previously stated, the success of these videos was largely due to the artist/band involved.

He is not a member of the British Society of Cinematographers. This, like the Royal Society and is by invitation only. It indicates a level of professional skill. All the top UK cinematographers are members and it is consequently an international bench mark of professional acumen as a cinematographer.

He has not personally been nominated or won an award from Bafta, (British Academy of Film and Television), RTS (Royal Television Society) or any respected body in the film industry in the UK. In fact, he has won no awards at all for his cinematography.

I understand from Wikipedia, that a Rwandan volunteer editor has admitted to being paid to submit this Wikipedia page about Tony C Miller.

  • As I have a WP:COI in this article I've tried to avoid providing input in this debate, but the subject of the article (Tony C. Miller) has asked me to post the following message to the nominator on here:

In regards to the illustrated points, to disregard this cinematographers work: "To illustrate my point, “The Great British Bake Off” is viewed by 14 million people and has won awards as a reality show. Its success is not associated with its cinematography. To claim so as a cinematographer would be in accurate."

“The Great British Bake Off” is a reality entertainment television show, the show's point is to entertain with people meeting the challenges of baking. Music videos on the other hand, (which this cinematographer has worked on many that have won awards), are not a show to entertain on the challenges of doing anything, their sole purpose is a vehicle of creative visuals to work in conjunction with the music, therefore the appearance of said videos is their main criteria. The music itself wins awards unassociated with the videos (the billboard awards – American music awards) therefore trying to discredit the input of the cinematographers work on notable music videos by comparing it to a reality entertainment television show isn't valid.

The point raised that the cinematographer is tying to mislead with time in the industry: "His Wiki page states he has been active since 1998 which is inaccurate and misleading. He worked previously at a different job, as a gaffer. He did his first job as a cinematographer in 2009 and did not start working full time in that profession until 2012. All his credits/references are post 2009."

This is also inaccurate being posed as “misleading” as the websites and information sited on Wikipedia clearly states that his rise in the industry was through the ranks and dates are clearly stated to that fact.

Trying to group the Cinematographer with the 20 other “technicians” on a music video set: "The success of the music track is down to the band and the publicity associated with it and the videos creative director. It is not associated with the 20 technicians (including the cinematographer) who worked on the video."

This is also inaccurate, as the cinematographer’s artistic input on a majority solely visual based art form (music videos) is important more so than other “technicians” or crew members, you can't belittle the cinematography role as the input to the look of the video is his by definition – Director of photography.

Also due to another cinematographer going by a similar name, clarification between the two cinematographers is a useful function for both parties.

  • As said before, being one of hundreds or possibly even thousands of characters directly imported under an open license is not a measure of notability.

          • You keep conflating the character with the mythology. Fictional characters, no matter how directly or loosely based on a real world topic, are their own entities within the fiction from which they originate. Discussion of those topics belongs solely in articles based upon that fiction. What belongs in the real world topic's article is a section including examples of such fictionalized versions in a properly weighted manner. If there is no discussion on the fictional renditions impact on the real world topic, the status of the real world topic is entirely irrelevant. TTN (talk) 21:48, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Jclemens. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 18:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • These keep arguments are not very convincing. Are there actual reliable sources that discuss this creature outside of in-universe game manuals? If not, I'm thinking it should be merged. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:12, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • The arguments have been made elsewhere, more thoroughly, but when you have a 'borrowed' fictional element that clearly existed before D&D adopted/borrowed/instantiated/adapted it, then you have a complex relationship: When the fictional element is then re-re-used after D&D has, and is influenced by the D&D descriptions thereof, what does that affect? The notability of the original mythological element, or that of the derivative fictional element? Does it need to mention D&D in order for it to count? I contend not.
    • Further, there is a further element akin to WP:MUSICBIO point 6: we often keep NN things because there are two merge targets--do we upmerge what's here to a D&D page, or to the page for Charon the fictional boatman? Either is unsatisfactory. Thus, a separate article remains a good idea even if it does not currently demonstrate meeting the GNG. Jclemens (talk) 02:24, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge per NinjaRobotPirate. Aoba47 (talk) 17:53, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Yugoloth. Keep arguments seem to boil down to WP:ITEXISTS, and I don't see significant coverage in reliable sources – ie, not game manuals. We would need out-of-universe details about the creation of the character, discussion of its place in popular culture, and how it influenced the creation of spinoff monsters/characters. Stuff like this is very easy to find for Vecna, Orcus (Dungeons & Dragons), and Beholder (Dungeons & Dragons), for example. You could probably write an entire GA about how D&D influenced the portrayal of elves, dwarves, and orcs in every work of high fantasy since 1980. If all we've got for this are the fact that this character appeared in a few game manuals, it's not notable enough for its own article. D&D is a popular subject in the press, and the truly notable characters don't need to strain to establish notability. All I see on Google Books are novels and game manuals.

No WP:RS to attest to its origin. Both of the links are to recipes for lemon pie and happen to be written in Ukrainian, and neither lay claim to the origin. In fact, 'limon' is the Russian word for lemon; 'tsytryna' is the Ukrainian word. The recipe could have originated anywhere, and probably did. It's WP:OR. The only half-way reliable mention is through Google books in Classic Russian Cooking: Elena Molokhovets' a Gift to Young Housewives first printed in the mid-19th century, but the work actually notes that there were non-Russian borrowings in the cuisine, plus the entry for 'Lymonnyk' is not available in the online version. Two other pieces found via Google scholar (here) are unclear. The one in English is an interview with a woman of Russian descent born in America in 1925 who mentions making lymonnyk: her parents were Russians from Ukraine. The other lists English loan words from Ukrainian, Russian, and Polish. 'Lymonka' is listed as a loan word from Ukrainian. It's as clear as mud, and there's no way of establishing that it's an old recipe, nor where it came from. It's lemon pie. Iryna Harpy (talk) 00:56, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge to Lemon tart. I too find no reliable sources. Perhaps there is an issue of translated articles from Russian or Ukranian sources, but even those that did turn up did not appear to be significant - mere word lists, mostly, to my (admittedly) limited ability to read those languages. At best, merge the one line article and its image to the lemon tart article. Geoff | Who, me? 17:58, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge elsewhere. I checked a couple of books on Ukrainian cuisine. This dish is mentioned in one book as "lemon pie" in section "Modern Ukrainian pastries" between "apple pie" and "chocolate pie". It seems to be nothing special/historical. If good reasons are found to keep this article, a reference would be: Л. М. Безусенко, Українська національна кухня. Сталкер, 2002. p. 219, ISBN 966-596-462-3 (in Ukrainian). The recipe in this book looks like what is shown in the pictures on the page (two layers of dough, and a lemon layer in between): Замішують тісто і розділяють його на дві частини. Лимони ошпарюють окропом, охолоджують і разом зі шкіркою натирають на тертці з великими вічками. Одну частину тіста розкачують і кладуть на лист, змащений маслом. На тісто рівним шаром розкладають натерті лимони, посипають цукром і накривають другим шаром тіста, проколюють у чотирьох місцях, змащують яйцем і випікають. BTW, Irina, the Ukrainian cookery books use the word "лимон". --Off-shell (talk) 19:49, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, apologies for not clarifying this further, Off-shell. The word "limon" was brought into the Ukrainian language officially sometime in the mid-20th century. Ukrainian dictionaries replaced "цитрина" during the Russification/standardisation of the Ukrainian language during the Soviet period (interchangeability was eliminated prior 1974 [per Podvezko & Balla; "Radyanska shkola", Kiev, 1974). Naturally, dialects nearer Russia may have adopted or used 'limon' far earlier (but as 'lymon' rather 'limon'?), but it was essentially a loan word in both languages (as with all European languages), with Ukrainian using the same loan word as the Polish "cytryna". "Tsytryna" is still used in my Ukrainian cookery books, plus can be found online at Ukrainian cookery sites (i.e., "цитринова цедра" for 'lemon zest'; "цитринова есенція" for 'lemon essence', +++). If anything, that makes the issue even more confusing. If it has truly been around for a long time, did the Russian name become the favoured name and usurp the Ukrainian naming convention within Ukrainian/Ruthenian regions at some point? If we don't have reasonably reliable sources, we could speculate until the cows come home, but it would still be OR. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:34, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- an unremarkable dish. Ru.wiki has an entry for "лимо́нник" but it's about a shrub (Schisandra). Add to that the funky name, and it appears that there's nothing there, or highly dubious. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:25, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
