Upgraded to AfD due to PROD removal. This is duplication of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Reserves and Academy and the article isn't needed and doesn't need to be merged. Govvy (talk) 22:06, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support, I had added a Merge proposal to this but it looks like all the info is already in the other article mentioned above, so a Deletion would suffice. It looks like the main reason behind creating the article was simply "but Arsenal have one" (I have also marked that article to be merged into its 'relative' along with a few 'doublers' for other clubs).Crowsus (talk) 22:30, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Reply Because the creator of the article did the same when he straight copied reserve and academy page to Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Reserves which was deleted. And now that just directs back to what I created years before in 2006 was it? the same again happened, he copied parts to a new Academy page these are created in 2014!

Bio that does not assert or show notability. Vihang sarnaik has been deleted previously, and two separate drafts have been declined (Draft:Vihang Sarnaik (2) and Draft:Vihang Pratap Sarnaik, which are essentially identical), and a third draft, Draft:Vihang Sarnaik, also exists but has not been submitted for review. Point is, there seems to be a concerted drive to add an article about this individual to Wikipedia.

As noted in the draft rejections, the individual is however not shown to be notable, as there are no reliable sources supporting notability. The sources are either primary or only mention Vihang Sarnaik in passing (or not at all!) - there is no significant coverage of him. bonadea contributions talk 21:36, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable director of short film. Article lacks non-trivial support reddogsix (talk) 21:24, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete as WP:TOSOON. He did make a single short film Where Is Najeeb that appears to have gained a lot of attention in reliable sources, which might qualify him for notability under criterion #4 of WP:DIRECTOR, but that criterion requires that his works (plural) or "work" (as in "body of work") has gained significant critical attention, and this is just one short film. I cannot tell from the non-English sources, even when translated, that they qualify as "significant critical attention" or are just reviews by non-notable reviewers. There are Google hits on the name but it's hard to find sources that qualify as reliable and independent. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:24, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TOOSOON as this video game company has only produced one game Atlantic306 (talk) 00:35, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not too sure how to respond to an AFD. I believe I did it incorrectly when I edited the Behdad Sami Interactive page last, so my apologies. I don't believe this page should be deleted because every company has to start somewhere, so by saying they only have one game is not a good enough reason to remove their company. Behdad Sami Interactive is an LLC, with its HQ in California. They have enough sources to find credible. This page was also created yesterday, despite this company being around for almost 3 years now, and there are other sources out there. I'm not sure what exactly what you would like we to show you, as far as sources go. I work closely with their CEO, and they have a few products waiting to be launched, and not just video games. Given how young the page is, I don't believe this company should be deleted especially for the reason of only having "one product". Hipster Whale who has one of the biggest games in the world, only has 3 games, so nomination to delete this page based on it only having one product doesn't seem logical or fair, especially when they have other products in the works, in addition to global notoriety.--Hoopindreams (talk) 04:32, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're missing the point of the deletion a little bit. The number of games isn't really the important part here. Its whether or not it meets the WP:GNG - Wikipedia's rule for whether or not something should be able to have its own article or not. This is basically achieved by locating third party sources (so not from Behdad Sami or their press releases) that cover the subject in significant detail. So, for example, if you could show that, a website like IGN or Wired had written an article centered around them, that would be a good argument not to delete the article. See WP:VG/S for a list of commonly accepted or rejected sources for proving this sort of thing. Sergecross73 msg me 16:56, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, looking at the article itself, there's already a source, this one from Vice which would be pretty useful towards showing notability. It's pretty long and centered around the developer. So this is a good example. If you can find more like this, I'd be inclined to !vote keep actually. Sergecross73 msg me 16:59, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Well, aside from this Vice article which is just as big as Wired or IGN, there is also this article from geek.com, which is a very reputable source. There is also this article from the German tech blog Appgefahren, as well as this article from the number 1 Apple web blog in Indonesia. I think the VICE article is the most globally reputable source, however the other three websites are very reputable and cover Behdad Sami Interactive and their first game. There is also a ton of other 3rd party websites, blogs, and youtubers that have covered this game/company, but as far as reputable sources go that I believe Wiki would be looking for, the four articles I have posted here I believe should allow this page to remain, and not be deleted. Not to mention, they could have a few other articles released soon.--Hoopindreams (talk) 03:38, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment' The Vice article is not "intellectually independent" and is a classic advertorial and relies solely on an interview with Behdad. Classic quote in that article which makes me chuckle is "Being the thorough journalist I am, I immediately got onto Google to check out the man behind the missive." so lots of independent fact checking went on for that article. The second article is also not "intellectually independent" and contains this "In his email to me, Sami said he believes Get ‘Em will “revolutionize not just mobile gaming, but gaming as a whole.”. The last two are blogs which are usually excluded from assessing notability. -- HighKing++ 10:48, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As per nominator and SW3 5DL, WP:TOOSOON. Most references consists of reviews about the only game they made, little about the company itself. One game isn't enough for notability. TheDeviantPro (talk) 10:37, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - well seeing what Sergecross73 said, "I think you're missing the point of the deletion a little bit. The number of games isn't really the important part here", your arguement about his "one game" not being enough shouldn't matter too much. Vice is covering his company and game, as well as other tech/app websites/blogs, regardless of it being a review, they are still talking about this company and it's game. I'd say with Vice covering it alone, it gives this tons of credibility, but in addition to that there is geek.com and the other blogs in Europe and Indonesia. That makes this company global in my opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.87.39.17 (talk) 04:23, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep - I stand very confident in what I said above. The Vice article, geek.com, and both articles in Europe and Indonesia, more than qualify this page from remaining. This game developer is known worldwide and has someone as major and credible as Vice discussing their game/developer. This is in my opinion enough reason to keep them, in addition to the other sources listed above. It's not too soon.Hoopindreams (talk) 18:56, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect - Per K.e.coffman's suggestion above. Lack of independent notability is the key issue here. So long as the company has only one game of note, it makes no sense to have separate articles for the game and the company. The suggested Behdad_Sami#Behdad_Sami_Interactive is the logical redirect target, since it already covers the article subject.--Martin IIIa (talk) 12:03, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete a non-notable actor. We need actual indepth mention of people, not just mentions in passing to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:28, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Author has added several more references since the discussion period began, but they're still passing mentions or do not mention the subject at all. My assessment hasn't changed. --Finngall talk 20:04, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - First, even if it were his own Twitter account that had 900k followers, it would be irrelevant--the accounts of these others mean even less. The article on the Turkish Wiki means nothing, as different wikis operate independently and can have widely varying standards for inclusion.
Looking at the first several listed references in detail:
  1. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and the article in question does not mention the subject.
  2. Does not mention the subject.
  3. Does not mention the subject.
  4. Does not mention the subject.
  5. Does not mention the subject.
  6. Does not mention the subject.
  7. Passing mention.
  8. Does not mention the subject.
  9. Does not mention the subject.
  10. Passing mention.
I haven't looked closely at the most recent batch of additions, but when I looked at the first couple of sets of references, there was nothing but irrelevant links, mentions in cast lists, other passing mentions, and nothing more substantial than a sentence or two about his performance as part of a larger theater review. There are no articles specifically about him, and nowhere is there the depth of coverage about him and his career which is required for the sourcing of a proper encyclopedia article about him. You could include a hundred more references like the ones provided so far, and it still would not add up to satisfy the standard of substantial coverage in reliable sources which we normally ask for. --Finngall talk 22:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • DELETE - Fails WP:NACTOR, WP:BASIC and WP:GNG. Since this article has been listed at AFD, it has been reference-bombed WP:BOMBARD with over 50 new sources. Always a "red-flag". Very doubtful any editor is going to spend 1 - 2 hours to check all of them, (which i will do if there are 20 or less) nor should we have to. I have checked 10 random sources as follows:
  • "Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality City Theaters Official web site"- subject not mentioned
  • Jump up^ "Istanbul City Theatres celebrate 100th anniversary"- subject not mentioned
  • "5th International Cyprus Theater Festival" - subject not mentioned
  • Turkishdrama.com subject not mentioned and was sourced from Wikipedia and IMBD both of which are not reliable for sourcing per WP:RS/IMDB and WP:USERG
  • "Intekam Drama On Geo Kahani" - TV type listing- pretty much a press release- not useful for notability, Not "Independent" per WP:GNG and WP:QS)
  • "Vasfi Rıza Zobu Theater Awards, "Actor of the year -notes subject won best actor award given by a youth foundation to reward a young theater artist who makes a difference with the performance he has shown in the city / municipality / private theater in the past year.
  • "Theater reviewer, Gülşen Bilge Kaya's article, "Psychologists suggest betrayal! - Review of a Harold Pinter's play"Deception". Trival mention in Turkish "Art" website, arsizsanat.com. Subject is mentioned twice in Turkish article. Strangely, if translated to English by Google it appears that he is mentioned 11 times, the exact same sentence repeated 10 time.
  • "Koliba Film" - Link returns "Web Sitesi Yapım Aşamasında" (under construction) -useless
  • "International İstanbul Theater Festival" - Annoucment of performance times of play at Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality City Theaters. Not useful to establish notability. subject not mentioned
  • "Nov. 2016 87th issue of Yeni Tiyatro Dergisi (New Theater Magazine) has been released! - PR announcement for magazine and list places one can buy it. once again, subject not mentioned
That's all I am willing to check particularly because over half of the "sources" don't even mention the subject. Since the creator has spent a lot of time on this article as well as this AFD I am willing to amend my vote if any of the keep votes can provide 3 sources that meet the requirements of WP:BASIC and WP:GNG -
"Significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject" and "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."

WP:BLP of a person with no strong notability claim and no strong sourcing to support passage of WP:GNG. His "notability" as a musician is that he's a member of a band that competed in but did not win a reality show; his "notability" as a politician is that he's an as yet unelected candidate in a forthcoming election. And of the three sources here, one is a primary source, one is a blog and one is a purely WP:ROUTINE piece of local coverage of his candidacy announcement. As always, a person is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because one piece of local media coverage verifies that they exist — to be considered notable as a musician, a person has to actually clear WP:NMUSIC for something, and to be notable as a politician they have to clear WP:NPOL, but nothing shown or sourced here does either of those things.

Comment. What about NMUSIC criterion #10, since his performance was used in a notable album? N I H I L I S T I C (talk) 16:06, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That criterion refers to the person being the primary credited performer of a track on a compilation album or soundtrack, not to being a session musician on another artist's studio album. And even if Shields did meet that criterion, the criterion still wouldn't be passed just for being asserted — it would still have to be reliably sourced to media coverage about the criterion getting passed.

Advertorially pitched article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no strong WP:RS reliable sourcing to carry it. This is sourced entirely to unacceptable sources, namely the band's own self-published Facebook page, the Amazon.com sales pages of their singles and the IMDb profiles of film industry workers involved in the creation of the band's music videos -- there's not even one acceptable reliable source here, let alone the several reliable sources that it would take to pass WP:GNG. And for an actual notability claim all we really have here, once the advertorial bumf is stripped away, is that they exist. As always, existing is not enough in and of itself to get a band a Wikipedia article -- they must have actually achieved something that passes NMUSIC, and they must be reliably sourceable to media coverage about them, for an article to become earned.

WP:BLP of a writer, not sourced to sufficient reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. This is based almost entirely on primary sources, mostly content he wrote for various publications, and the only two sources that clear that bar are a namecheck of his existence as a provider of soundbite in an article about a concept and a Q&A interview -- both of which would be acceptable if the rest of the sourcing around them were more solid, but neither of which carry a GNG pass in and of themselves. A writer does not get a Wikipedia article just because directories of his writing on the publications he wrote for show that he exists; he must be the subject of coverage in reliable sources, not the author of it, for a Wikipedia article to become earned.

Fails WP:GNG. The entire article is about the history of Saint Thomas Christians in India. Part of a plethora of family articles on Wikipedia which uses the same strategy of highlighting the actual family history at the end using their family websites.

  • Comment - Parts of it seem to be decently referenced and encyclopedia-worthy. However, these are not the parts that have anything to do with the namespace. If we already have have an article on this India Syriac Christian community, then I would suggest merging the relevant material into that article and delete the rest, because I see no indication the family is notable. If we don't, then rename this article to something having to do with the religious community and pare down the references to this one family. Either way, I don't see much need for the redirect from the current namespace.Agricolae (talk) 15:56, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Changed mind to Delete - If as Jupitus says the good (general, non-family) parts were taken from existing articles, then there is nothing here worth preserving. I don't see anything about the family themselves that makes them notable. Agricolae (talk) 02:44, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For the fact there are detailed articles on Christianity in Kerala and its various sub branches. The current article in question is however not a community but a family, who happen to be Christians. Merging/Redirecting/Changing the name of the article into one of the sub sects of Christianity in Kerala (probably Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, the sub sect of the church followed by the said family, based on my reading) is not required as the article in question has copied and re-worded the encyclopedia worthy parts from the articles on Christianity in Kerala and its various sub sects.Jupitus Smart 05:01, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete -- The parts of the article that are adequately referenced are about Mar Thomas Christians generally. There is little in this about the family, of which little shows them notable.

As a railfan myself I feel a certain reluctance in this, but what we have here is pretty much a textbook case of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Given the enormous numbers of stations constructed over the years, it is unsurprising that lots of them go beyond the classical terminal or through stations, and so what we get here is a long list of anything that someone or another found "interesting", and again, given the numbers, it's hardly surprising that the various expedients for odd cases got used more than once. But there's no system to it, and what system we see here didn't come from some authority; it's just what people made up on the spot. A (long) list of oddities is not an article on how stations are laid out. Mangoe (talk) 12:16, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I would agree with the comments above that a worthwhile article could be developed on railway station layouts, but this just reads like a random list with no logic to it and as such is of very little use. Dunarc (talk) 23:00, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This article does have useful information. It also has a lot of unnecessary examples, and other useless stuff. I would edit out most or all of the examples, and the sections about station naming, longest platforms and largest stations, but keep the rest. I would also try to find some references for what remains. The de.wiki article de:Bahnhof has some references for its equivalents of the parts that I would keep (but those references are in German), and there are further possible references in Station building#References (an article I have been translating from pl.wiki) (but I don't have easy access to those references). If it is regarded as acceptable to use German language references as at least a stopgap, I will modify this article as I have suggested and add some German language references to it.

Deletion is not a substitute for cleanup. To delete instead of improving an article on a notable subject is contrary to the Wikipedia's ethos of steady, collaborative improvement that builds on previous work. It makes no sense to start over from scratch instead of on improving on what has already been written. —Lowellian (reply) 08:53, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but having said that, I can understand the delete argument completely... It needs work, if someone puts the work in, it is worth keeping. As it stands I understand the argument to delete JarrahTree 10:24, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:TNT A discussion of the various types of railway stations, platform layouts, etc. is definitely encyclopedic. We have side platform, island platform, Spanish solution, balloon loop, etc. An article by this name should just briefly describe, include a {{main}} tag, and maybe a couple examples for each type. There could also be a section on notable exceptions. But the current list of examples is too massive and too random to be useful. Some of the sections (platform numbering, joint/disjoint stations) are pure WP:SYNTH which should be removed. I could go on. – Train2104 (t • c) 18:46, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Article requires improvement, not deletion. Remember, folks, AFD is not cleanup. And it's a notable topic, so the quality of the article is irrelevant. Smartyllama (talk) 17:06, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SOFIXIT. If you can't actually turn it into a decent article, you don't actually have an argument for keeping this. Personally, I think that for the most part what needs to be said about layout can be said in a short section in the main article, but even so, if there is to be an article here, I'm for WP:TNT. Mangoe (talk) 13:32, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Re: "If you can't actually turn it into a decent article, you don't actually have an argument for keeping this." That's not in Wikipedia rules at all, and it's an absurd argument, as it would mean that no one could ever vote keep on any AFD unless they were expert enough in the subject to improve it to a good article. Again, AFD is not cleanup. —Lowellian (reply) 13:46, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nonsense: WP:TNT would not exist if this were so, and your argument is exaggerated. If you aren't knowledgeable enough on the subject to be able to tell whether the article is bosh or not, even if that knowledge is acquired-on-the-spot, then you shouldn't be a participant in the discussion. The only improvement good enough for this article is to erase it and, if someone is up to the task, re-create it. My reasonably-informed opinion is that what is already said about station layouts in the main article is sufficient, and that this trivia list needs to go away entirely and not be merged back into the main article. People who are addressing the content of the article, thus far, have agreed with me, though some of them think a worthwhile article could be written instead. If someone manages to do so, I'm OK with that. But the argument that we have to keep the current crap around while we wait for someone to write a different article in its place is not policy and not a guideline. Mangoe (talk) 14:40, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You're constructing a strawman in changing your argument to "if you aren't knowledgeable enough on the subject to be able to tell whether the article is bosh or not, even if that knowledge is acquired-on-the-spot, then you shouldn't be a participant in the discussion", since that is not what you were originally claiming at all, which was that one cannot be in favor of keeping the article unless one can personally improve it to a decent one. That is not policy and not a guideline. —Lowellian (reply) 21:51, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The problem with "keep the current crap around" is that if someone does rewrite it properly, at some point they will delete that crap. And immediately afterwards, someone will restore it and they give them a {{uw-v1}} template and a {{welcome-idiot}} "welcome", just to rub in the point that pointlessly keeping totally worthless crap is the preservationist approach.
This is crap. It can't bee "fixed". Andy Dingley (talk) 22:19, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is exactly why I keep going back to "sofixit" arguments. When the argument is that what we have is unsalvageable, the counter-argument is to salvage it; mere procedure and appeals to a poorly-named essay section will not cut it. AFD is, in the end, precisely about arguing for "clean-up". Mangoe (talk) 11:46, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. It should be possible to write something useful about this subject (e.g., the advantages and disadvantages of stub-end terminals, loops, and so on), but the current article is a rag-bag of indiscriminate examples, unrelated trivia ("Naming of stations far from served town" has nothing to do with "layout"), and the eye-poppingly obvious (sometimes stations are on curves!). Since the material in the "Configurations of stations" and "Terminus" sections of the current train station article would make a far better basis for an article on railway station layout than current article content, WP:TNT should be invoked. Choess (talk) 23:52, 14 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don't think WP:SOFIXIT or WP:TNT really apply here; anyway, the existence of an essay is no proof of its validity in a deletion argument. My !vote is based on the nom's application of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. If any article were to attempt to catalogue this information, it would have to take an entirely different approach of summarising rather than randomly listing. In my view, that's deleting without prejudice to readdressing the subject, though you could call it TNT if you were that way inclined. Triptothecottage (talk) 09:32, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The page simply doesn't pass notability guidelines. ProgrammingGeek talktome 15:39, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Still Keep: This school is over 90 years old and has notable alumni. By the way, source 2 and 3 refer to Tracy Chapman who has won numerous awards for her music, including 4 Grammy Awards; as a result, she certainly qualifies as notable. This article was already nominated for deletion in 2007; the response was 7 Keeps and only 2 Comments against keeping. - Xenxax (talk) 17:03, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Xenxax, can you unbold one of your keep comments? You're only supposed to "vote" once. Tracy Chapman is of course notable, but notability isn't inherited (by the school). Also, the outcome of a previous AfD doesn't bind a current AfD - especially if it was 10 years ago. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:08, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a secondary school per longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:26, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Necrothesp this isn't really an argument, though. The outcome of a ten-year-old AFD doesn't affect this, this discussion is about the notability of this institution. Article should be deleted per actual arguments above.
      • It's entirely an argument and has nothing to do with the previous AfD. Our consensus has long been that secondary schools are notable. It's a secondary school, ergo it's notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:45, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • It's an invalid argument, and that supposed consensus, which contradicted the longstanding schools guideline, was officially rejected by the community earlier this year: "Secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist." Rebbing 14:05, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • I think this discussion has already been had and largely rejected as a (deliberate) misinterpretation by the deletionists of what the discussion you cite was actually about. The result was not to formalise the consensus, not to deny it. The consensus has been come to over countless AfDs; one discussion does not completely destroy it, especially when that was not the issue under discussion. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:32, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for lack of notability. Per recently-reaffirmed community consensus, schools are held to the same standards as other organizations, see NSCHOOLS, and, per longstanding precedent and consensus, significant coverage in reliable, independent sources—not age, association with notable subjects, or passing media mentions—is the touchstone of notability. Rebbing 14:23, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is a a distinguished, highly rated secondary school with a raft of notable alumni and oft-mentioned "self-help" and diversity policies that enable some of those distinguished students to attend.[6][7][8] Multiple coverage in sources like the New York Times [9] and elsewhere [10][11][12][13] This is exactly the kind of school article that the RfC indicated should not start sucking up editor energies at AfD. Passes GNG and emphatically notable. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:18, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - per Arxiloxos and TonyBallioni. I also agree that some of the delete voters are misrepresenting the outcome of the recent RfC. A read of the paragraph on schools under WP:CORP would also be beneficial to those voting delete. I find it hard to imagine a legit school in the US or Britain not meeting that standard, which is the official standard for notability on schools, not the paragraph in the school article guidelines on notability. John from Idegon (talk) 19:43, 10 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this is a 90-year-old institution amongst independent schools. As DGG argued in the first AfD, ten years ago, a school can be considered notable in part by the notability of its alumni, since the whole purpose of a school is to educate and send out its graduates into the community and the larger world. FWIW, I have been a teacher at a proprietary college and am a public school teaching fellow. Bearian (talk) 00:44, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I find it understandable that because of the recent confusion about school notability , a school or really borderline importance might be listed at AfD, but this is a major US Independent school with a long history and notable alumni. The only explanation I can find for the nomination os the exceptionally gushy prose, which I am about to tone it down substantially DGG ( talk ) 02:35, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - When somebody is related to somebody else more famous there is a often a rush to delete.

  • Comment All the sources are of a decent nature and don't promote him in a celebrity sense. They merely state who he is and what he does. I think someone with almost 3 million subscribers is "notable" according to common sense and wikipedia's guidelines. It's reasonably well sourced and, as mentioned above, if a source about his age and date of birth arise in the near future, this article should not be deleted.

  • Comment; I take no position on the bill's notability, but the article says it passed. The lede includes "(H.R. 767; Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 113–69 (text) (PDF))"; the cite to "Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 113–69 (text) (PDF)" means it became Public Law no. 113-69 (i.e., 113th Congress, 69th public law). And the congress.gov page at H.R. 767 says "Latest Action: 12/26/2013 Became Public Law No: 113-69."
That being said, Congress enacts a lot of laws; this is just number 69 in a series of 295 statutes enacted by the 113th Congress. Not all enacted laws are WikiWorthy; the overwhelming majority of them are not. All of them get at least some media coverage, so it's easy to be misled into a sense of notability, just from searching. I have no particular position of whether this particular bill and statute is notable. TJRC (talk) 23:29, 11 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Okay, I just took a look at the bill, and it's remarkably trivial. All it does is amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to replace the names of the field offices taking part in a pilot with more complete versions of the field office's names: "Rawlins, Wyoming" becomes "Rawlins Field Office, Wyoming"; "Buffalo, Wyoming" becomes "High Plains District Office, Wyoming"; and so forth. It also apparently changed one field office, from Miles City, Montana to the Montana/Dakotas State Office, Montana (which is in Billings, a much larger city), apparently because it was a busier field office. That's it; that's the entire content of the bill and statute. See the text at Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 113–69 (text) (PDF) and compare with the § 365(d) it replaced in Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 109–58 (text) (PDF), if you want to check. It's not even worth rolling up into Energy Policy Act of 2005.

Like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Monday Night War: WWE vs. WCW, this is a web-only, paywalled series that only airs on the WWE Network. It's essentially a chat series featuring pro wrestlers and, sometimes, other celebrities. It lacks substantial coverage outside of primary sources (e.g. WWE). The article as it stands is a list of episodes with an infobox, woefully limited, and like most Network programming it doesn't justify an individual article.

The relevant section on page 864 consists of Mr. Arens asking Mr. Saidenberg, "Do you know a person by the name of Anita Short Metz?", and after conferring with his counsel, Mr. Saidenberg said "No." Clearly the index mention does not establish notability and I think that the question mention, by itself, does not help to establish notability either.

  • Delete I'm stunned by the "keep" votes. What am I missing? All I am seeing are references that are apparently local press mentions over a lifetime, many of them trivial, and a book that she self-published. This appears to be mostly original research by a SPA author. Surprised, too, editors are arguing "keep" based on being mentioned in a HUAC report. Is merely the accusation of being a communist a "notable" achievement? Anyway, I only came here because of the BANDS AND MUSICIANS criteria, which the subject clearly does not meet.

I am affiliated with Symantec, who publishes CIO Digest (the subject of the article). The article does not seem fit for an encyclopedia (promotional), especially the last two paragraphs.

  • Comment - I can't read Farsi, but here, here, and here are three news articles about/reviews of the book. Smmurphy(Talk) 03:49, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The first two links are copies of the same report. One of these sites is Tasnim News Agency. The third link is a copy of this report [20] by the Fars News Agency. Both seem to be too closely affiliated with the Iranian government to count as RSs. Eperoton (talk) 04:37, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I posted that last night without having much of a chance to think it over. I agree with you. To go a bit further, freedom of the press in Iran is not great, and there is not too much guidance on understanding RS in such cases. My feeling is that it is up to us to make such a call. That is, government-influenced press in Iran can be used to satisfy V, but probably not to satisfy NPOV, but editors should use their judgement (I think using judgement to handle Irani government-influenced sources is better than out-of-hand dismissal, for what it is worth). In this case, without an independent source in-depth about the book, I agree that this article has issues with WP:ARTSPAM/WP:COATRACK and should be deleted. Smmurphy(Talk) 16:30, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would suggest further that if all the independent (of the author) coverage we have for a book are from outlets that can be considered mouthpieces of a government -- any government -- then having an article on it is rather close to channeling government propaganda. So, barring additional coverage, I would also go with delete. Eperoton (talk) 23:05, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
keep Hi. before of anything I have to tell something about the importance of book from international law. Regardless of the content of the book , which is arbitrary for readers to whether see it as a propaganda or not, I think if we have see the book from political view and its importance then there is no POV.Also we know that according to Wikipedia:Notability#Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article there is no challenge between quality of sources and notability of subject--m,sharaf (talk) 12:03, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If we can find RSs to demonstrate the book's importance, then we can keep it. I've commented on what I see as insufficiency of the sources presented so far, and I haven't seen evidence that better sources exist. Eperoton (talk) 10:50, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising, non-notable software product. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 00:56, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - poorly constructed page could simply be explained by a new editor, but I had no success finding news coverage. I did find some reviews, and while I think PC Advisor looks legitimate [21], the others don't entirely convince me of their reliability: [22], [23], [24], and [25]. If those sources are more reliable than I realize, I'd of course be happy to change my vote to Keep. Yvarta (talk) 01:33, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - "Advertising". SyMenu is not searching for advertising because it's a freeware software, its web site has not advertising at all, it is a software that serves the community. Please read here to understand what the real SyMenu approach is.
    "Non-notable software product". We are talking about the USB launcher with the largest freeware program collection in the world (more than 1.200). Isn't it enough to classified the software as relevant in Wikipedia? Moreover SyMenu won a lot of awards from several web site.
    "No success finding news coverage". Please note that PortableApps.com, the main SyMenu competitor, doesn't mention a lot of external references outside of self references to its web site (http://portableapps.com). So what's the point? Is it better to remove the real external links and to add new links to the SyMenu own web site to be reliable at the same level? Epikarma (talk) 6:37, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
References based on reliable sources (eg. reviews in published/online magazines) are needed to estabilish notability. That other article has bad sources too, is not good argument for AfD - quite otherwise... Pavlor (talk) 09:38, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pavlor is right. So let's speak about the external sources reliability.
Yvarta asserts that PC Advisor looks legitimate and the other web sites are not. Let's try to define this concept through a measurable principle and not through a personal feeling.
Let's see the web sites global ranks thanks to http://www.alexa.com:
  • PC Advisor 2034 [26]
  • BetaNews 11771 [27]
  • cnet.com 154 [28]
  • softpedia.com 1441 [29]
  • pcauthority.com.au 80091 [30]
According to Alexa except for PC Authority and BetaNews the other sources are more popular/reliable than PC Advisor. Epikarma (talk) 9:30, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

The result was keep. Consensus. The consensus here is in accord with our almost invariable practice: We do not normally keep places identified only as dots on a map, as many of them indicate individual structures or the like, but we do if there is any confirmation that it is a populated place, now or in the past.

  • It is mentioned here in this 1921 book, more numerously in this 1927 agricultural journal. I wonder why there are no more recent book cites? Has it changed names? Anyway, this would seem to meet WP:GEOLAND, which covers "even abandoned places." Keep. And once again, the nominator needs to be clear if he's going to start nominating in this area. Read GEOLAND if you haven't already. Named populated places do not have to meet GNG. Therefore even "trivial" mentions, if from acceptable sources, are sufficient to WP:Verify. We have a different benchmark for legally recognized populated places. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:48, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into Kasaï-Central. We have no sources that give more than the location, the name, and the province it is in. Only trivial mentions here... not enough for a standalone article. WP:ITEXISTS is not enough, because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and this article is a dictionary entry with no good material for expansion.Burning Pillar (talk) 17:10, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Burning Pillar: I don't think I will vote in this AfD, but I just wanted to point out that as per WP:5P, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but it is a gazetteer. The distinction is important for geographic locations. --NoGhost (talk) 20:33, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but we don't have basic info like population, or other statistics... Currently, the article only contains location and name. That's not enough material for a standalone article. It is possible that more information exists, especially primary sources, but... most of the small places will likely be a stub for a long time, or forever(WP:PERMASTUB); there is mostly local interest about those.Burning Pillar (talk) 23:42, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Merging this content into Kasaï-Central, which currently does not cover constituent villages and towns, would lead to coverage that is out of WP:PROPORTION in that article. It's what's kept me from inserting even a wikilink in the province article to resolve the "orphan" tag currently on display; creating a section, or even a paragraph, to call out this one village would look utterly bizarre. Besides which, maintaining a separate article encourages expansion; if you want to permanently limit the information contained on this subject, a good way to do it would be to hide it away in some other article. Other benefits of a separate article for geographic subjects include easier interfacing with m:WikiMiniAtlas, WikiData, and foreign-language wikis. At the end of the day, WP:PERMASTUB is an essay, WP:GEOLAND is a guideline, and I think I'll stick with the latter. Antepenultimate (talk) 00:19, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
