Subject fails to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:GNG). I do not see a single reliable, independent secondary source in this article which could support a claim of notability. I tried to identify reliable sources (Google scholar, Google, Google books, Jstore, news) but I found nothing. The earliest version of the wikipedia article was copied from the website of L´Associazione Shengming Shu http://www.dongsheng.it/chi-siamo-2/ (edit history). JimRenge (talk) 23:44, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. This page might be a prank, self-promotion, or something else, but it's definitely cruft. The only possible RS is misquoted. Searching Qu Wanli's Shàngshū jīnzhù jīnyì 尚書今注今譯 on Google Books finds no reference to either 東聖 or 聖玫. Neither of these terms in mentioned by any source in the Chinese Text Project. A Google search for the phrase "東聖玫" finds only five ghits—one from the WP article and four from the dongsheng.it website. Also, does the edit history suggest sock puppetry? Keahapana (talk) 01:44, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete This happens to fall under one of my personal areas of interest, but despite searching pretty hard I can find nothing whatsoever about it in secondary sources. It smacks of a modern organisation trying to invent an impressive history for themselves; none of the claims in the article seem to be supported by valid historical scholarship.

- Comment I think the editors who did most the work to this article are separate people, but likely have conflict of interest. (evidenced by saying they had permission to copy a website into the article, which was a copyvio (see edit history). I cannot conclusively confirm any of this meets WP:V, however since the main source is a 2000 year old book I can't find a translation of, I am undecided on it either way. (although citing a 'Private Edition of a possibly self-published book as a secondary source is suspicious) Additionally the 'organisation' is pretty sketchy, even if the philosophy is genuine there are WP:PROMO issues. A Guy into Books (talk) 20:00, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Delete You are really funny. You are like children. You believe that something is true just because you can find it on the internet or on a book. You look like my grandmother, who believes that one thing is true just because you watch it on television! Do you have any idea how many authentic traditions are not present in any of the official sources? For confidentially reasons, for example, or just because Mao Tze-tung have destroyed almost everything of the China's tradition, first of all books? I am personally in touch with some Taoist ancient schools in Hong Kong and Taiwan, which have their own "Book of Document", handed down from father to son, from generation to generation. Younger have a secular history. Yet you will never find them in books or on the web. Think about it because today there is no space for these traditions on Wikipedia. Anyway, I agree to delete the page. Greetings.
- I agree with the bulk of your comment here, certainly it would be a useful cultural project to reconstruct and publish these traditions, but until this happens, Wikipedia will remain bereft of these matters. A Guy into Books (talk) 11:53, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not need a page on each and every GRB. The only (current) claim to notability is the link with a rumoured gravitational wave detection. However, for the moment there exist no RSs for the GW event, let alone the potential link with this GRB. WP:TOOSOON. TR 21:55, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Events-related deletion discussions. CAPTAIN RAJU(T) 22:20, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Merge with NGC 4993 article. I agree with WP:TOOSOON; WP:CRYSTAL probably also applies. If the GRB actually does represent a new type of gravity wave, then it would definitely deserve its own article, but until then it's probably best to just mention it on the galaxy's page. Cthomas3 (talk) 22:40, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep: Thank you for the notice re the possible deletion of the "GRB 170817A" article and related - "GRB 170817A" is a confirmed event[1] - and seems to have been emitted from the "NGC 4993" galaxy - "GRB 170817A" may be related to a "gravitational wave" event ("GW170817"?), according to "WP:RSs"[2][3][4] - Thanks again - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 19:11, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

- I do not believe anyone is questioning the fact that it is a confirmed event; the question is if the event is notable. It may be, if in fact it actually is related to a gravitational wave event. The problem is that we don't actually know yet whether it is or it isn't, and I don't believe the event is notable enough for a standalone article if it isn't (GRBs are detected all the time). There is no scientific consensus about the event yet because it is so recent, and as such it is my opinion that should wait to create an article about it until there is such a consensus.

- Comment One of my issues with this article (and the others I put up for AfD) is that they contain factual inaccuracies (don't ask how I know). However, without RSs these inaccuracies cannot be corrected, demonstrating a fundamental issue with the existence of this article. Lets wait with the creation of these articles until actual sources exist.TR 07:16, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- I'm very interested in that because we should try hard to avoid that problem. If reliable sources are generally making false claims there is little that can be done and your concerns will be discounted as OR (even if wrongly so). However, if one (or so) reliable sources are outliers from the mainstream, or if not very reliable sources are being used for incorrect claims, then the article can be improved. However, because WP regards secondary sources as being preferable to primary these sorts of conflicts do tend to crop up with science topics. Why not raise the matter on the talk page? Thincat (talk) 07:36, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- The problem here is that the so-called "reliable sources" in this case are openly speculating, as such some the things they say are bound to be wrong. I would actually argue that because the source are speculating they should not be considered reliable (and most certainly not as secondary sources as their speculations are their own synthesis of the information that is currently in the public domain). The situation for these articles is just plain awkward for Wikipedia for as long as the results of the GRB follow up observations (and LIGO's O2 run) are under embargo. Until this is lifted the articles should probably simply not exists since stuff like WP:N and WP:V cannot be properly satisfied. TR 09:14, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- WP:CRYSTAL is policy, and says "Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included, though editors should be aware of creating undue bias to any specific point-of-view." You are correctly pointing out that this policy is not perfect. But we are expected to make decisions based on WP policy. So long as we are clearly relaying RS speculations as such, your objection is that policy is wrong. Take it up on the policy talk page, not here.
- The RS speculation is secondary sourcing. We have not looked at the primary sources (in this case, mostly logs of telescope time, also some tweets, but obviously no observations) and synthesized conclusions, we have let others do so.
- You are correct that until the insiders release definitive information, things are awkward for WP. That's just not relevant. See the essay WP:FLAT. 129.68.81.110 (talk) 14:46, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- The sources mentioned above are NOT "reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in the field" but essentially news reports.TR 15:15, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Nature, Quanta magazine, New Scientist and National Geographic are reliable sources, quoting known experts. I know nothing about WIRED, Forbes, the Independent, the New York Post, or Popular Mechanics regarding their astronomy coverage, but their existence does indicate that interest regarding this event is higher than usual. Of course, the GCN circular is a primary source. 129.68.81.110 (talk) 16:34, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Keep likewise for GW170817. The possible GW candidate rumour got more than enough notice in the press to be notable. I've got no objections to a merge to NGC 4993 however. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:50, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Delete Unfortunately, the primary sources (the actual science reported by scientist) are NOT reporting on this topic, and secondary sources are reporting a rumor. Even if Wikipedia considers the secondary sources to be reliable, they are still reporting a rumor, which we have no way of verifying unless and until it is first reported in primary scientific source(s). The testing protocols are there for good reason: to identify "false" signals and avoid propagating misinformation. Wikipedia should not be in the business of spreading any rumors, let alone rumors of scientific fact, which have not yet been published (and might never be published) in scientific journals. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 17:13, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Keep Re "Wikipedia does not need a page on each and every GRB", that's not an argument for deletion, just an opinion, which I disagree with. They are sufficiently rare and generate a lot of scientific interest. This one seems more notable than others that have their own page, see List of gamma-ray bursts. Tayste (edits) 22:16, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Per NASA: "A GRB is a fleeting blast of high-energy light, often lasting a minute or less, occurring somewhere in the sky every couple of days." (emphasis added) I would not call that sufficiently rare, and they don't all generate a lot of scientific interest unless there is something otherwise noteworthy about them. In the list you just mentioned, there are only 23 entries (with 3 redlinks); in the link I provided, it notes that the Swift spacecraft just found its 1000th almost two years ago. Note that every one on your list has something notable (first ever, closest, first with <x> characteristic, most energetic, etc.). Note also that none are "rumored to have been" anything. If the rumor turns out to be true, I am 100% in agreement that it is at least as, and in most cases far more, notable than those on the list. But if it isn't, it's simply not notable at all. And that's why the recommendation to wait on creating the article. Cthomas3 (talk) 02:43, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

This galaxy currently cannot satisfy WP:N. Being the source of a GRB does not really make a galaxy notable. The GW detection is currently still a rumour, and even if it pans out I do not see how it makes the host galaxy particularly notable. TR 21:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep It does pass WP:NASTRO, specifically requirements 2 (listed in New General Catalogue) and 4 (discovered before 1850). I would suggest merging the content from GRB 170817A here, although the GRB article doesn't appear to have a lot more information than is already on this article. Cthomas3 (talk) 22:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep and it also passes the general notability guidelines. GRB's are not excluded by WP:NOT. Thincat (talk) 06:19, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Obviously meets WP:NASTRO, as you can tell by catalog number alone - but not hard to confirm in the article.
The nominator seems to have a problem with recent research in gamma ray bursts and is trying to delete all relevant articles. Who knows why? Concerns should be raised in talk pages not by (possibly) maliciously nominating articles for deletion (which is against Wikipedia rules).Anyway, regardless, clearly meets notability requirements. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:31, 1 September 2017 (UTC)- I have no problem with any of the research. I have a problem with pages being created of rumours before the actual research that would make them notable has become available in the public domain. In this case, I did not realize that being in the NGC was considered enough for a galaxy to be notable. (This seems like a rather weak bar as there are nearly 8000 objects in there. Do we really feel each of those should have a Wikipedia article? But I'll leave that to WP:ASTRO). I take serious offence at my legitimate concerns about these articles being referred to as malicious.TR 12:09, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- TR has challenged articles related to one particular rumor. He has given some reasons for his viewpoint, others have given reasons for the opposing viewpoint, the discussion has been proceeding with GF all-around. Colapeninsula's comments, however, are so obviously inaccurate and out-of-line, they are essentially a personal attack. I am marking them as struck.

In addition, I note that many other language Wikipedias have this galaxy article and many others not found in the English Wikipedia, for better or worse on either side. Perhaps they have set the bar lower or are in general more interested in such things. Tayste (edits) 22:03, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Since TR, the AfD nominator, agreed that WP:NASTRO clearly covers this article, and no other objection has been made, it seems this is a Speedy Keep. According to WP:NACD, any user who has not commented yet may close this discussion, and so may TR, by following the instructions at the link.

The result was merge to Transport in Cambridge. Opinion is scattered, but no policy-based arguments have been put forth for keeping, so this seems like a good compromise.

Previously deleted, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cambridge South railway station (I did consider WP:CSD#G4 but am giving the benefit of a discussion); history of previous article is at Special:Undelete/Addenbrooke's railway station. I can find no evidence that construction (or even funding) is any more likely than it was eleven months ago. Indeed, an edit earlier today indicates that an application for funding has been declined.

This appears to be a university award without sufficient scope to qualify as notable per WP:GNG; only reference given is to the center issuing the award; Google search turns up no meaningful discussion in published reliable secondary sources; other articles on Wikipedia are probably linking to this article as evidence of their subjects' notability, which is misleading if the award is not itself notable.

There are some good sources given, but I think a good baseline would be, would anybody who doesn't have his books and doesn't do business with him remember who this guy is? I'm not yet convinced the answer is yes. - furrykef (Talk at me) 21:01, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. There might be notability here as an academic, but the article as written isn't showing or sourcing any — apart from one primary source verification of him winning a bronze medal at a high school math competition, which is not a notability criterion, the substance and sourcing here is stacked entirely onto his non-winning candidacies for provincial or federal office. But those aren't notability criteria either — to get a Wikipedia article, his notability would have to be piled and sourced onto the academic work. Which, again, it isn't.

- Comment - The subject was not arrested initially. Documents were seized by the FBI first. This man is(was) a significant political figure in a county just north of New York City and his crimes impact an incredible number of people. He is also very much involved in the deterioration of the East Ramapo school district, which has garnered national attention.
- Not only is this subject significant, there are numerous non significant local politicians with wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnR1948 (talk • contribs) 21:50, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment - Significance does not equal Wikipedia based notability - being called significant is a subjective analysis. The subject fails WP:POLITICIAN, WP:PERPETRATOR, and WP:1EVENT. Concerning your statement, " there are numerous non significant local politicians with wikipedia pages," those other pages have no bearing on this discussion. If those pages do not meet Wikipedia criteria, feel free to nominate them for deletion. reddogsix (talk) 22:37, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. There's no evidence being shown that he would pass WP:NPOL for the position he held — 16 years in office and all you can show for anything prior to the criminal charge is one primary source and one glancing namecheck of his existence in an article that's fundamentally about something else? And if you can't show that he was already notable enough for an article before the FBI came a-knockin', then the arrest itself just makes him a WP:BLP1E rather than a person we should be maintaining an article about. I'd be willing to reconsider this if the sourcing and substance could be beefed way up on his actual work in politics — but criminal charges are not in and of themselves a reason for us to maintain an article about a local politician whose preexisting notability hasn't been properly demonstrated otherwise.

- Delete: A WP:SPA article which came through the AfC process. Its references confirm a firm going about its business, with local coverage of their charitable donations, but neither that nor the exhibition "Best Online Garden Retail Buying Team" awards indicate encyclopaedic notability, nor does the founder's appearance on a Garden Industry Manufacturer’s Association judging panel. My searches are finding passing mention of products which can be purchased from them, but I am not seeing sources to provide notability for GardenSite as a website or Hall’s Garden Supplies as a company.

- Keep - I can't disagree with the fact that there aren't many notable sources regarding GardenSite or Hall's Garden Supplies as a company, but must point out that it does state that this is a family-run independent Partnership business, not a Public limited company - hence it's day to day business aspects and financial information is not publicly shared across news sites, unlike multi-million pound chain stores, and so notable sources are always limited for smaller companies. Although, they have gained industry-specific awards within their niche, been invovled in charitable causes and received thousands of public reviews all within their country of origin, which when comparing to others within the same niche, does make them stand out enough to be 'encyclopaedic notability' in my eyes. On top of that, Hall's Garden Supplies has been active for over 60 years and the GardenSite for 18 years, so have been around for some time and don't seem like some 'fly-by-night' setup. More notable sources would ofcourse be be ideal, especially based on business facts, but I believe there is enough sourced reputation currently to warrant it being kept alive.

Previously deleted at AfD as a potential hoax. Now there are sources that confirm such a project does exist, but they do not name it, and primarily focus on the work of the school. The verifiability of the technical specs here doesn't exist in the sourcing, and what we have is essentially a small project in development. It has been covered by the Hindustan times, but that is still only one source to cover it, and arguably it would be more about the educational institution, so I don't think it cuts past WP:N.

The only claim of significance is that a track from their album topped in Northern India. But this is not supported by the only valid reference which briefly cites them as an example of aspiring groups that have not yet been lucky enough to achieve success. Another issue is that there may be a possible conflict of interest issue, as there is a clear indication that the author may be in charge of digital marketing for the group.

In Hindi media, I could find five articles, which are of either Dainik Bhaskar or Dainik Jagran. This one mentions that they were given Haryana Gaurav award by the state government – the award is non-notable. This one reports their performance at some local cultural event, and this one reports that their album's shooting has completed. The remaining two are about the fake rumors of one of the singers' death – [5] & [6].

Keep@Shawn in Montreal: Hi Shawn, what do you still need to know about him to make a decision? He has published in the globally highest ranked journal of his discipline (the Journal of Marketing, see http://journals.ama.org/doi/abs/10.1509/jm.10.0537?code=amma-site). Most scholars in this field do not reach Andre’s current level of achievement in this regard in their entire careers. His remaining publications are in journals that are also highly regarded. And here is another source from Springer about his research: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-45596-9_58 and another one (see page 22) https://www.epi.media/download.f59095f4c61f67c63a42a700ecf9332e_1/ --Wiwigald32 (talk) 18:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)- I have added the respective URLs for the selected publications to the article itself. --Wiwigald32 (talk) 19:05, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- A final note from me for today: The University of Cologne is the largest university in Germany and clearly one of the most prestigous German universities. In addition, the Journal of Marketing (in which Professor Marchand has published) is the international number one scientific journal in the marketing discipline. See for example: https://www.ama.org/academics/Pages/AMA-Journal-Impact-Factor-Rise.aspx and http://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?category=1406&year=2015. --Wiwigald32 (talk) 20:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)— Wiwigald32 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
- Wiwigald32, I have struck out your "keep" because you already indicated the same opinion earlier. You should only provide a recommended outcome a single time in any AfD. —David Eppstein (talk) 09:12, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Citation record [54] is inadequate to pass WP:Prof. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:32, 31 August 2017 (UTC).
- Delete. Citation counts too low to pass WP:PROF#C1, no other notability evident. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:44, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- According to [55] "Criterion 1 can also be satisfied if the person has pioneered or developed a significant new concept, technique or idea, made a significant discovery or solved a major problem in their academic discipline." With the publication in Journal of Marketing, which is the highest ranked journal in the Marketing discipline, Prof. Marchand has developed and evaluated a ground-breaking new concept of a automated recommendation system for groups. Websites such as amazon.com will use this system probably in the future and the numbers of citation will strongly increase. One should also keep in mind that the citation count alone is not an appropriate measure for the impact a scientific breakthrough has. Usually, less innovative articles such as literature reviews get much more citations than a significant new concept. Moreover, he is a professor at the University of Cologne, which is ranked number 41 by a recent report: http://www.scmlist.com/home/university-rankings/analytical-report/ — unsigned, but from User:Wiwigald32
- For the specific criterion you just described, "in this case it is necessary to explicitly demonstrate, by a substantial number of references to academic publications of researchers other than the person in question, that this contribution is indeed widely considered to be significant and is widely attributed to the person in question." If you can indeed do that, please modify the article such that it fulfills this requirement. -- Pingumeister(talk) 09:05, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- As I've already stated on your talk page, Wikipedia's purpose is to collate reliable information from existing secondary sources. The aim is to be as objective as possible. That is why these policies exist. -- Pingumeister(talk) 09:06, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Probably most scholars agree that it is a lifetime achievement to publish in the globally highest ranked journal of a discipline (with rejection rates higher than 90%) and clearly much more important than many citations from lower ranked journals. Quality matters more than quantity in academia today. Of course it may slightly vary over disciplines, but it is definitely the case in the marketing research discipline. Are there any actual marketing scholars in this discussion who are able to judge this? Please help. --Wiwigald32 (talk) 09:38, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Sure, let's judge the spammers by what other spammers have to say about them. What could go wrong with such an idea? Or instead we could, you know, actually apply the standards we have developed here that you seem to be unfamiliar with (a hint: you are required to declare your conflicts of interest.) —David Eppstein (talk) 09:47, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. If WP:PROF#C1 is applied, this site should be kept because the person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline.

- I have added further information and references to the article. That's all I add here. I hope that better qualified scholars from the Marketing research discipline and not even more laity will add more information and comment on this article. I also kindly ask you to stop accusing me for personally knowing this person, using other accounts, or other things because it is untrue. By the way, this is my first self-created article in Wikipedia, before that I just have worked on existing articles, so please excuse my inexperience with the whole process. I have ideas for several more articles about other related topics to the Marketing research discipline, but first will wait for the final judgment of this case.--Wiwigald32 (talk) 08:39, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete No PROF, no GNG, some CRYSTAL here on this page. EEng 11:38, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- Strong delete nothing indicates his work has reached the point of having a significant impact, so he does not pass notability for academics. 1 paper is almost never enough to establish notability. There are exceptions, but unless people want to argue Marchand published a paper that to digital marketing (is that a fancy way to say spamming?) is the same as Watson and associates contribution in one publication was to biology, I do not see 1 article as enough to put Marchand into being notable. If you look at how someone fulfills academic notability requirement 1, we have indications such as "has had a book of articles by other schoolars written as a furtherance of the subjects work" as one level of probably passing notability. You will not see 1 article in a top rated journal. It is general multiple articles that are widely cited by others in multiple journals.

- Though I agree, we should refrain from disparaging the field of digital marketing; it is not a scientific subject per se, but it does include peer-reviewed journals and is probably therefore worth Wikipedia's attention in general. -- Pingumeister(talk) 13:05, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- The academic study of digital marketing could in principle be non-spammy and completely respectable, despite the unsavory nature of its subject. After all, we don't think of researchers on cancer as being necessarily cancerous themselves. But I don't think it's a coincidence that, in practice, many of these articles are quite promotional. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:19, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

I might be persuaded if someone could demonstrate that there are such works in Portuguese, but just saying that they might exist without in any way indicating what they are, or in fact indicating that they even exist, just suggesting that they might exist, is not enough to avoid deletion.

Wikipedia is not a tabloid. We are not in the business of publishing rumours. Whatever this is/was, it may still just go away and turn out to be nothing. For the moment, all potential reliable sources on the matter are under embargo. Consequently, reliable sources on the subject simply cannot exist. If something was seen, we can be sure there will be official announcements and this page can be recreated. However, if nothing was seen no reliable sources may ever appear.

Keep: Thank you for the notice re the possible deletion of the "GW170817" article and related - as OA of the article, please understand that I have no objection whatsoever to the final decision (ie, "WP:CONSENSUS"?) - to maintain - or remove the article - for my part, however, this article (and the closely related "GRB 170817A" article) seemed sufficiently worthy (based on cited references[1][2][3][4][5]) to include and update with the latest relevant news from "WP:RSs" - in any regards - Thanks again for the notice - and - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 13:12, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- FWIW: Also worth considering? - other unconfirmed (but perhaps still worthy nonetheless?) astronomy-related articles => seems "the majority of "KOIs" are as yet not confirmed transiting planet systems" (as noted in the KOI article, see => "Kepler object of interest") - apparently, however, there are several example articles (albeit some tagged) of unconfirmed (rumored?) KOIs, including (after a casual search) => "KOI-2124.01", "KOI-7296.01", "KOI-7599.01", "KOI-7617.01", more? - as before - maybe also worth considering? - iac - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 21:11, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Merge: Multiple RS picked up on the story. That there is a gravitational wave generated by a binary neutron star collision is indeed a rumor. That numerous telescopes suddenly targeted, under a priority interrupt protocol, galaxy NGC 4993, including at least one for the sake of a gravitational wave alert, is not a rumor. It's also very interesting that such a multi-telescope observation took place. The information can moved to the galaxy article, or to GRB 170817A. 129.68.81.173 (talk) 13:54, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
delete: as per WP:TOOSOON (Mandot) 15:15, 31 August 2017 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mandot (talk • contribs)
Delete for now - really, anything that is at the "rumour" stage has no business having an article of its own. Once confirmed, might be incorporated into Gravitational_wave#LIGO_observations, and could then always be spun off into separate article if it turns out to be of importance. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:15, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
Delete per WP:TOOSOON and WP:CRYSTALBALL. At this point it merits mention only on the NGC 4993 article; the GRB 170817A article is also tagged for the same reason (if the rumor turns out to be false, there isn't anything particularly notable about that GRB). Cthomas3 (talk) 00:57, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Whether this has to be a real event or not in order to be notable is incorrect. Most scientific false alarms that have spilled over into the popular press, while disappointing in the end, will still be of interest as to what went wrong. The excitement here is comparable to BICEP2 B-modes and the 750 Gev anomaly.
- A known real event is that numerous big-time telescopes allowed a priority interrupt of their normally very tightly limited observing schedules. Non-involved experts were cited in top-level scientific RSs about this known real event regarding conclusions that could be drawn from such an unusual occurence. We have reproduced what these experts have said about this known real event. 129.68.81.110 (talk) 14:06, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- I completely agree that it deserves mention for exactly the reasons you describe, but everything we currently know about the event is already on the GRB and galaxy page. If the rumors turn out to be false, a year from now no one will care about the now-stricken GW (or the associated GRB), but it would still be an interesting and notable fact about the galaxy. All I am saying is let's wait to create the article until we know more. Cthomas3 (talk) 14:31, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- The two examples that you give are interesting: I agree with your assessment that there are some similarities here. For BICEP2, there is no standalone article on the B-mode detection event, but the BICEP and CMB article both make mention of it, as they should. There is a standalone article on the 750 GeV diphoton excess, but that one dragged on for many months and received continued press coverage over that time (and even some after). If this rumor persists for a similar amount of time and continues to receive press coverage as a result, I would agree that it deserves its own article as well. But right now we are still too early in the game to make that determination. Cthomas3 (talk) 15:11, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- I supported Merge above, but I believe in giving precise arguments with regards to policy. Here are some more precise data points: Harry Collins has written entire books about LIGO blind injections. We have an article about the 750 GeV diphoton excess anomaly. We have an article about the disputed exoplanet Gliese 581g. The most interesting false alarms do have WP articles.
- My point is that per WP policy, the discussion should be whether this event has passed an appropriate threshhold, and not about waiting to find out whether this event turns out to be exciting or boring in the long-run.
- Irrelevant aside: I quickly skimmed through the just-released LIGO Magazine 11. Apparently no easter eggs, unlike LIGO Magazine 8. 129.68.81.110 (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Keep CRYSTAL/RUMOUR says "Predictions, speculation, forecasts and theories stated by reliable, expert sources or recognized entities in a field may be included, though editors should be aware of creating undue bias to any specific point-of-view." so an article is nor precluded a priori It seems to be there are sources appropriate for passing the general notability guidelines. Thincat (talk) 06:25, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- I agree with you that the coverage has been significant enough to raise the profile of the event, but the issue here is going to be WP:SUSTAINED. The reason this event is receiving any coverage at all is because of the possibility that it is notable, not because of any known facts about it. If the rumors aren't true, the will be one last round of "oops, false alarm" in the press and that will be that. There is certainly a chance that this is truly notable, but right now we just don't know. News organizations have to pick this up even if it's speculation, because for them speculation is enough to generate views. For an encyclopedia, significant news coverage on a disproved rumor generally doesn't belong in its own article unless the hoax itself gains significant coverage after the fact. Cthomas3 (talk) 14:44, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
Keep likewise for GRB 170817A. The possible GW candidate rumour got more than enough notice in the press to be notable. I've got no objections to a merge to NGC 4993 however. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 11:49, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Rumours about new flagship phones tend to get lots of press coverage. Yet, for very good reasons we do not go making articles about them before they are announced. Those same reasons apply here. The fact that even the name of this article is completely made up by the creator (based on an educated guess but nothing more than that), is a clear indication that this article should probably not exist (yet). TR 12:02, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Technology device rumors are part and parcel of marketing campaigns. There is no comparison, and the same reasons do not apply. The name is not made up: GW names follow a precisely known pattern. 129.68.81.110 (talk) 14:06, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Although we know the pattern of previous names, this does not guarantee the same will be used here. The name therefore is a case of WP:SYNTH. Furthermore, we do not know enough about the event (if it even exists) to establish the name properly. For example, if the events ends up with a low significance, it could be classed an "LVT" OR in the event that more than one GW event was detected on the same day it could end up as GW170817B OR LIGO may go with something else entirely. The point is we don't know (cant know). In fact, currently the only google hits for "GW170817" are on Wikipedia. We should not be making shit up.TR 15:04, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Naming conventions are very conservative. I'm not concerned about different names: SS433 has perhaps two dozen names, any of which can be a redirect. I agree the name is problematic, and if the article is to be kept, a hokier name would be appropriate or, as I recommended above, merging with a non-problematic name. 129.68.81.110 (talk) 15:39, 1 September 2017 (UTC)

Delete per Cthomas3 and TR. LIGO has well-known verification protocols, and publication of this rumor by RS does not justify including it in Wikipedia. LIGO has not published it, and we don't publish rumors. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 16:57, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Changing !vote to Move to Draft space, as I am persuaded by Mark viking's reasoning below. It just makes more sense to park the article in Draft space since it is WP:TOOSOON to verify whether the rumors are true. Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 00:40, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - "Rumors" reported in multiple reliable sources are not subject to deletion per WP:CRYSTAL. ~Kvng (talk) 14:47, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- Move to Draft space. While there are indeed reliable sources, they are reporting rumours or breaking news, making them in effect primary sources. That there is an active investigation into something is a fact, but the core event of this article has no independent reliable sources. Hence WP:TOOSOON applies. If this does turn out to be real, then the early sources will be part of the story and it would be a shame to have to recreate content. Hence I suggest this is really a developing article that should be in Draft space. If confirmed reports and publications of the core event do appear, then the article can be amended and put back in mainspace. --Mark viking (talk) 20:53, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a single-market local radio personality, with no properly sourced indication of passing WP:CREATIVE for anything. The only references present here at all are a blurb on a non-notable radio hobbyist's own website, his own website about himself, and a biographical blurb on a directory of every broadcast personality who ever worked in one particular city -- so none of these represent substantive coverage about him in reliable sources, and nothing claimed in the article entitles him to a free presumption of notability in the absence of substantive coverage about him in reliable sources.

Poorly sourced article about a defunct single-market local radio show, along with poorly sourced standalone WP:BLPs of its former hosts. There's no evidence that the show passes WP:NMEDIA, or that either of the hosts pass WP:CREATIVE -- both of those notability standards depend on the depth of sourceability, not just the basic fact of existence. But Michaels' sole reference is a trademarks database verifying the "Mad Dog" nickname, not reliable source coverage in media; Holiday's sole reference is an article which is about her but is barely more than a blurb in length, so it doesn't represent enough coverage about her by itself; and the show is referenced 40 per cent to its own press releases about itself on Canadian media press release platforms (and furthermore, one of those is a deadlink and the other is behind a paywall), 40 per cent to glancing namechecks of its existence in articles that are not substantively about it, and 20 per cent to a non-notable blog. Which means that none of these three articles is sourced well enough to pass WP:GNG, and none of them claims anything that would confer a presumption of notability just for existing in the absence of enough sourcing to pass GNG.

Completely unsourced WP:BLP of a retired single-market local radio personality, with no notability claim strong enough to hand him an automatic presumption of notability in the absence of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG. As so often happens, this is written very much like somebody just copied his staff biography from the station he was working for at the time, rewrote it just enough to avoid WP:COPYVIO issues, and called that an article. Note that while this was kept at AFD in 2005, Wikipedia's notability and sourcing standards have been considerably tightened up over the intervening 12 years, and this no longer meets the requirements that apply today.

- Delete Interestingly enough the nominator here worte a long and reasoned keep vote back in the 2005 discussion. This is actually an even better argument for deletion. In the intervening 12 years we have learned several things. 1-we need to set standards of inclusion that reflect that Wikipedia is a global project. The standards in 2005 almost seem to have been built on the notion it was a UK/Canada/US project. 2-our vision in 2005 was of an unsustainable number of contributors, combined with a hope of contributors focusing more time and energy on the project than they generally have. We cannot keep an article with its only source being IMDb, since IMDb is not a reliable source. While we once had a vision of being a very broad directory, we have realized this makes quality control too hard, and undermines creating articles on actually notable subjects. So we need to delete articles such as this one so we can focus on articles on notable peopel such as Ebenezer Joshua, the first chief minister in post-indepdence St. Vincent and the Grenadines. When national leaders in the Caribbean get less coverage than many less important people by any measure in the US, we have a problem.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:35, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Subject is a fictional character from a 1970's era TV program that fails WP:GNG. I have been unable to find anything approaching the in depth coverage from multiple RS sources required to ring the WP:N bell. A Prod was removed when three sources were added none of which do more than establish that the character existed. The article appears to be a substantially unsourced WP:OR fan page failing WP:V.

Completely unsourced article about a film, for which the few reliable sources I can find about it on a Google search reveal that it's only just now going into production -- meaning that it's too soon for us to have an article about it yet. As always, we do not start an article about a film the moment it's been announced as being in development, because any number of things can happen during the production to cause it to be delayed or never actually finish production at all -- with exceedingly rare hypernotable and hypersourceable exceptions on the order of the Star Wars franchise, we don't start an article about a film until its public premiere in a theatre has been formally announced. So no prejudice against recreation if and when there's an announcement that it's getting screened somewhere, but nothing qualifies it to already have an article today.

- Also No one said social media followers were the main reason. That obviously wouldn't qualify him.

Nothing here passes a notability criterion, and the sourcing isn't cutting it in the least — he has to be the subject of the coverage, not just glancingly namechecked in coverage of other things, to pass GNG. Wikipedia also does not owe anybody an article, as the creator seems to think. Also, I share the view expressed above that there's a fairly obvious conflict of interest here. Bearcat (talk) 06:11, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I am not very convinced this article makes any coherent claims to notability. Lets see, he wrote an editorial for The Hill in favor of candidate Donald J. Trump, in 2016. While I would suspect most editorials on the presidential election published in 2016 in The Hill especially if we take the year as a whole, were not in favor of Trump, I am sure that Brown's was not the only one, nor is The Hill a paper of the level that one editorial there makes you notable. Even the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and New York Times are not prominent enough to make regular reporters for them default notable, let alone one time editorial contributors. Let us see what else. Brown criticized H. R. Clinton's nomination acceptance speech, but our main source on that issue speaks of such criticisms in the plural, and mainly focuses on Brown's and a few associated as a form of political action to try to discredit the oposition to their views. Clearly not enough for notability. Brown ran for a schoolboard and got just over 30 votes as a write-in candidate. Even if he had won that would not make him notable. Even the race-rhetoric to oppose schools of choice spewing member of the school board of my local district of 16,000 students does not rate an article. Technically he did not mention race, but in metro-Detroit when people attack "out of district students" it is code for speaking ill against African-Americans. Never mind lots of African-Americans live in our district boundaries, it is still much lower than in parts of South Warren, and way below the level of Detroit. Although to be truthful, some of these students live in Detroit and use the address of an auntie, cousin or some other relative to go to Warren Consolidated Schools. And some are honor role students who then get killed by a drive-by shooter while visiting their grandma's in Detroit. Although the last example I believe did actually live in my fair city of Sterling Heights. So she probably could stay if we unwisely ended schools of choice, but that does not mean the school board member wants her to feel welcome. I am still outraged that my neighbors are so uncaring as to vote in the school board someone who is not only racist but clearly does not get how Michigan's school funding operates. It is a major drawback to free-for-all voting, where a person can influenced the results by plunking, that controversial figures can get elected more easily. Back to Brown, being elected to the school board not only would not gaurantee his notability, there are very, very few people notable for being on a school board. If Brown had been a nomination holder in a race for US congress, he would not even be default notable. The menion of what he says on his twitter account is even less of a show of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:29, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
- Comment on the twitter issue, there are twitter accounts that tweet maybe once a month and have 188,000 followers. So the notion that having about 30,000 followers makes someone notable is hard to justify.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:48, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

- Keep I have found this page very useful in the past, and although there may be arguments to be had about countries which should be included, I do not believe it is unencyclopedic. The nomination states that there is not enough variation, but that is precisely the point - to show readers the subtle differences between each country on each sign. I'm sure notability can be easily verified by taking a quick look around the Internet; road signage is hardly a minor topic. Rcsprinter123 (indicate) 11:05, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
leaningdelete I don't see what English-speaking has to do with this, given that (after all) these are for the most part graphic images where language is irrelevant— that's the point behind them. We do have a European comparison which makes more sense due to the geographic commonality, but I don't see why comparing the US to the UK is any more apropos than comparing the US to Germany. Mangoe (talk) 17:46, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the more I look at this the more I think that the commonality of English is irrelevant. One can immediately see that most of the differences arise from (a) the US tending to retain signs in words as opposed to pictures, and (b) the Europeans and East Asians having different standards bodies. Eliminate (a), and English becomes almost entirely irrelevant. Mangoe (talk) 15:23, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Delete I'm seriously avoiding looking at this article anymore because it is completely uncited and so I don't trust it. The notability argument as stated is profoundly weak (although it could be improved), since roads are topics of enormous interest in Western civilization, this topic attracts the attention of drivers, and notability is understood as those topics for which evidence exists that they have attracted the attention of the world at large over a period of time. Unscintillating (talk) 00:53, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep, or at a minimum merge to Traffic sign main article. The graphical comparison is interesting, and probably provides good illustration to some statements which probably have been made in sources (e.g. it has probably been said somewhere that for the most part, traffic signs are similar in English-speaking countries). Seriously there must exist U.N. treaties or deliberations of international bodies, and there must be academic/engineering studies about this kind of stuff, though I personally am not interested enough to seek it out at university libraries or wherever. This is stuff which could totally be within the main Traffic sign article, but has in effect been split out. It is valid material, therefore, and it is an editorial matter at the main article about whether this is split out or not. If the main article is long, it is okay to split out. It certainly would be nice/preferred for it to include some sourced discussion of the issue(s) and references about the accuracy of the signs themselves. At a minimum the material should be preserved by alternatives to deletion such as redirecting. --doncram 21:05, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment i must say that as a UK resident, i have never seen 4 of the signs listed here (they do exist, they are just really rare). The relevance of English speaking countries is peculiar to say the least. all British signage is standarised with a set of pictographs and the same font (new transport). it might be more productive to compare the design methods of national signage systems rather than this. see: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/58170307ed915d61c5000000/the-highway-code-traffic-signs.pdf and note this article needs to be much longer. A Guy into Books (talk) 20:36, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete - while interesting, in a factual junkie way like most of us here are, this is not very useful. I can't think of a use case that someone would say for example "I need to see the difference in yield signs between the US and Jamaica", and that's regardless of the fact that most of the items are identical. An article of road signs of a single country would be more useful. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 00:50, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. This may not be useful for road travelers crossing from one region to the next, but surely it is of aesthetic interest to people who want to see how countries that ostensibly share a language use that language on their traffic signage. (I am disappointed, however, that the Canadian stop sign doesn't say, "Sorry to bother you, but please come to a STOP, eh?"). bd2412 T 02:35, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep per RoySmith. Even a stickler to the rules like me thinks such articles should be kept because they are extremely interesting and useful and Wikipedia would be worse off by deleting it. I'm certain someone has already discussed the (subtle) differences between such roadsigns before Wikipedia was invented and that it is thus not OR because it contains no new ideas. I also think comparing English-speaking countries is a good idea because they are likely all being influenced due to the shared language. Regards SoWhy 07:35, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sandstein 07:38, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete since a division of traffic signs by national language is a rather random denominator, as opposed to geographical lines. Just think if we had to choose between Comparison of traffic signs in Spanish-speaking countries and Comparison of traffic signs in Latin-American countries. The first one would be with Spain, but without Brazil, which is less logical than the second one. And the same goes in the case of the nominated article. Best regards,Jeff5102 (talk) 07:46, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- If we had to choose? We don't - we have many instances where different articles present different organizations of information in the same field. We absolutely could have both Comparison of traffic signs in Spanish-speaking countries and Comparison of traffic signs in Latin-American countries, with one being useful to travelers who may be wending through Latin America, and another useful to linguists studying the difference in wording across the language, and with each pointing to the other in the "See also" section. bd2412 T 12:36, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete Not a notable topic. Are there any sources comparing traffic signs in English-speaking countries in detail? Additionally regarding the table, if completed there would be 100+ road signs for each of 54+ countries. With many entries lacking equivalents in certain jurisdictions the final table size would be so large as to be practically unuseful and therefore unencyclopedic.--Pontificalibus (talk) 10:06, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

- Keep: while unconventional, I don't see any policies or guidelines this article violates. It offers no advice on these symbols, so it doesn't fail WP:NOTMANUAL. At the end of the day Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and encyclopedias are meant to provide interesting information. This information is both useful and interesting and therefore encyclopedic. It doesn't fail WP:GNG and it seems to pass WP:NOPAGE which are the classic policies/guidelines applied in AfDs like this one. DrStrauss talk 16:01, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Delete While appreciating the effort and good faith, I believe these articles should probably remain based on continental connections, like Comparison of European road signs. Considering the Schengen Agreement and open borders, that article actually serves a educational purpose for cross-continental drivers. We can make similar tables to compare signs in the Americas, Asia, and Africa as well. More distant and subjective connections such as a bunch of countries sharing a language, I see as stretching pretty thin. Fry1989 eh? 01:30, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep Doesn't appear to violate any policy and is a useful take on the subject. might need a little cleanup but not enough to warrant deletion. Gateman1997 (talk) 19:59, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- Violating core content policies is a reason for deletion. For WP:V, see WP:DEL7. As stated at WP:Deletion policy#Editing and discussion, "If an article on a notable topic severely fails the verifiability or neutral point of view policies, it may be reduced to a stub, or completely deleted by consensus at WP:AfD." Unscintillating (talk) 21:40, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- There is no WP:V issue here, the signs are correct according to governmental sources. A Guy into Books (talk) 21:42, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
- If you don't agree that zero sources "severely fails the WP:Verifiability policy", then you don't need any sources at all in an article to consider it verifiable. As per WP:V, "...any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed." So 100% of the material in this article is lacking inline citations and is subject to removal. There is no point to saving an article that requires a 100% rewrite. Unscintillating (talk) 01:05, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Actually, WP:DEL7 only allows deletion if sources can't be found, not if they clearly exist but are not yet added (see also WP:PRESERVE). A lack of inline citations is not a reason for deletion if the addition of inline citations is clearly possible. Regards SoWhy 09:05, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- I see your point in DEL7, which has always been a bit of a puzzle to me, but you are dismissing both the quote I provided from WP:Deletion policy and the quote I provided from WP:BURDEN. And I would specifically disagree that those sources have been found, because in point of fact they have not been found. We knew all along in this AfD that most of those signs would be sourceable. The problem is that if there are errors they will mislead readers. The means to make this material verifiable is in-line citations, and this requires a 100% rewrite of the article. Without verifiability, the article is worthless. Unlike notability issues, which require no changes to the article content, content issues require immediate attention at AfD. Unscintillating (talk) 15:08, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- So if you agree that sources can be found, how does WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM not apply? Also, how is it a 100% rewrite to just add sources without removing anything? Regards SoWhy 16:28, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- The way to remove any signs that are not sourceable is to add citations to 100% of the sourceable signs. Since AfD is not cleanup, perhaps you are implying that we save this article for the table structure, leave it to other editors to perhaps apply WP:BURDEN to remove all of the pictures, and hope that someone will research it someday?

- Keep as Dr. Strauss states Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and the visual representation should be useful for readers, albeit uninteresting. Burroughs'10 (talk) 04:58, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Question - Is there a reason not to have a single comparison of traffic signs that covers every country. It would be cumbersome, but if too much so it may be easier to split (once combined) into, say, types of signs rather than basing it on countries, continents, or languages. It would make for an impossible table format, but since sortability isn't really an issue, there's not really a big reason for the table aside from snappy presentation. Also, this seems like a pretty good use for a Commons gallery (though don't construe this comment as a !vote to transwiki). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:43, 10 September 2017 (UTC)
- Keep. Look in any encyclopedia or perhaps even your state driver's manual, and there will probably be a comparison of traffic signs. The article is a list, and is relevant to the project as a list.

- Replace with a redirect to Abz Love. I'm not convinced of her notability, much of which derives from Abz Love and Smoke 2 Seven (who may be notable, having had a UK #26 single). People aren't notable on the basis of either people they're in a relationship with or bands they are in, so a redirect to Abz Love might be more appropriate (well-cited material might be merged there, or an article on Smoke 2 Seven might be created). Sources cited are generally tabloid gossip-style coverage, which isn't a good source per WP:RS. She doesn't meet WP:NACTOR or WP:NMUSICIAN in her own right, and hasn't done much as a songwriter (a Sugababes b-side and the occasional other release but no big hits, as far as I can tell). --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:26, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
- Based on WP:COMPOSER item 1. Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition, does she not meet the criteria? I feel as a co-writer on 2 songs with Smoke 2 seven that have charted would qualify.

- As historian, I know the journal quite well. It is a well known history journal of an institute of one of the most important world university. You can find it, among the others, in the Infona portal (administered by the Interdisciplinary Centre of Computational and Mathematical Modelling of the University of Warsaw): [57] and the European Reference Index for the Humanities (Norwegian Centre for Research Data) [58]... Mts-Lisboa (talk) 15:19, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: Neither of those indices is selective in the sense of NJournals. But if the journal is this important, it should be possible to find independent reliable sources for that. --Randykitty (talk) 15:50, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- R: "A journal can be considered notable if it can be demonstrated to have significant coverage in the media, or demonstrated to have a significant impact in its field. This is usually verified through the journal's inclusion in selective bibliographic databases and selective indexing and abstracting services, or by being the subject of significant commentary in independent scholarly publications, news media, books, theses, and other sources."Notability (academic journals). The journal is indexed in the ERIH PLUS, a selective index of the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (agency owned by the Ministry of Education and Research of Norway). In addition to this index, I think that the Czech index can be considered at the same level because of this (although I don't know Czech, you could read it through google translator). Maybe some Czech friends and colleagues could help us. Greetings, Mts-Lisboa (talk) 16:16, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Just added: Since January 7, 2015 the journal has been indexed in the Academic Search Complete (EBSCO Information Services)(although I don't know exactly how this particular index works... I know the previous one...). P.S. sometimes the journal is found as "Prague Papers on History of International Relations" and not as "Prague Papers on the History of International Relations" (the latter is the correct one, but very often you can find it indicated in bibliographies with the other form). Mts-Lisboa (talk) 21:12, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
- Sorry, but none of those indexes is very selective, they all try to cover everything within their remit. ERIH really just has a minimal list of requirements designed to keep out predatory journals. When checking databases for inclusion, it generally is best to use just a distinctive word from the title (e.g., "Prague" in this case) and go through the list of results and/or to use the ISSN. --Randykitty (talk) 21:27, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Weak keep The main issue I have with making a strong call here (being an RS / published by a University press counts for diddly squat) is that prior for 1997–2010 it was published as a series of books.

- @Randykitty: Why is it smth else? I mean CU Press is notable if only because this university itself is notable (just as Oxford University Press in Great Britain or Harvard University Press in the USA). Of course, CU Press is a small publishing house just because the Czech Republic is a very small country. But this doesn't undermine its WP:Notability. I see you're an expert in the field of academic journals. And yet I can't agree that CU Press is "minor" in the sense that it isn't notable. --CityCat (talk) 16:04, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- No, the press is not notable because the university is. Please see WP:NOTINHERITED. Not every professor or lecturer at CU is notable because the university is, either. CU Press may very well meet WP:GNG (and hence be notable), but that doesn't take away that in the field of academic publishing it is a very minor player. --Randykitty (talk) 16:27, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Randykitty: The point raised by CityCat is related, I think, to the adjective "minor". A publishing house can be "small", but not necessarily "minor". If a publishing house of one of the most important universities in the world is "minor", how do we call a local publishing house that publishes few books by local writers? As pointed by CityCat small doesn't mean minor. The (small) publishing house of a glorious university has the full dignity of any other "big" publishing houses of another glorious university. Mts-Lisboa (talk) 19:11, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- If you have reliable sources that back up that this is an important publishing house, fine. If not, I respectfully disagree. Notability is not inherited. --Randykitty (talk) 20:59, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Randykitty: "published by a minor university press"? Nothing of the sort. Charles University is the leading university in the country, albeit small. --CityCat (talk) 13:21, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Probably keep -- It is useful to have articles on peer-reviewed academic journals. The problem is usually with providing sources on it that are independent of it. However peer-review ensures that it should qualify as a WP RS and citation indices should demonstrated that other academics this this is its status. Nevertheless, this is an area where WP guidelines as to independent sources do not work well. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:01, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Peterkingiron, every predatory journal claims to be peer-reviewed. We check that by looking, for example, at inclusion in selective databases that actually investigate the quality of this peer-review. We do not take a journal's own words for this, not even if they're published by a university press. And using the recommendations in NJournals, we often succeed in finding sources (see this for example, and that journal did so badly that it folded after 10 years...). --Randykitty (talk) 14:53, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- Randykitty: "every predatory journal claims to be peer-reviewed": but this is not a predatory journal, so in our discussion we should consider it as a real peer-reviewed journal. Best, Mts-Lisboa (talk) 15:29, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- I didn't say this is a predatory journal. I'm just saying that it is not up to us to decide which journal is notable and which isn't based on our personal preferences (or the journal's own website). Instead, we need to decide on notability based on sources. --Randykitty (talk) 16:27, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
- CityCat, agree with you. CityCat and Peterkingiron, then, we should consider the field. History of International Relations is an important field of studies in Continental Europe, Latin America and Far East. It is not the sub-branch of "history" or of "international relations" (this view is not so "popular" in the Anglo-Saxon world, where scholars are considered as "historians" or "political scientists", focusing on theories of international relations). And in history of international relations this journal is a prominent one. Mts-Lisboa (talk) 14:19, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

I originally listed this page for deletion as I felt it was all about self promotion. When I went onto Google I saw the majority of initial choices as the promoters of the therapy around thge world. I have not delved deep to see if they coined the term but it's a good guess. As they promote hot and cold therapy it doesn't just fit one but my feeling is that it should be mentioned in therapies for both hot and cold but does not warrant it own page. To do that just validates the therapy providers, and frankly the evidence does not say it's worth the money people would spend. I do accept that it does appear to have some benefit. I still say it should go. HaraldW1954 (talk) 10:46, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

- There's enough detail in the two reviews for a specialist article too large to fit in cold compression therapy per WP:DUE: in a separate page, we could discuss the facial device's design, its higher cost relative to standard treatment, its higher patient tolerability, hypotheses about its mechanism of action (neutrophil inhibition, vasodilation), and so on. GNG permits this regardless of what we "generally" do in similar cases.
- However, the article's history doesn't make me optimistic that anyone is likely to step up and write such an article soon, so I'm okay with a merge for now, without prejudice against thoughtful recreation in accordance with WP:PROMO. FourViolas (talk) 21:13, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. Only 634 results on Google, and no substantial coverage of the stadium itself found in Google News searches. Both "keep" votes provide no arguments for keeping. One claims the stadium is mentioned in the news often. That's probably true, but isn't relevant to WP:GNG; trivial mentions in connection with specific sports teams/events do not support notability. The other claims some type of presumptive notability with no backing from any sources, and that's just not supported by any guideline. ~ Rob13Talk 17:40, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

The result was no consensus. I'm conflicted how to close this. There is a claim that this fails WP:V, which is a requirement that needs to be interpreted strictly. On the other hand, nobody is claiming that "South Bengal" doesn't exist. Just that the name hasn't reached a level of acceptance as an official place name. From the arguments here, I can't convince myself that either camp is completely correct.
So, going to call this No Consensus. It seems clear that this needs editing, and better sourcing, but for now I don't see a strong enough argument here to delete it. My recommendation is for people to work on the article and perhaps re-evaluate it in a few months if there's no improvement. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:46, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Not verifiable. Has cited no sources since created in 2011. Not a legally recognized place. Anyone can stick "south" on the name of a region, but that doesn't create a notable topic. The ngram hardly registers in Google Books (42 uses since 1995). As often as not it's not capitalized, indicating that it is at most an informal term that has not attained proper-name status. In no case is it used to mean what the article defines it as - a cross-border region including parts of Bangladesh and parts of the state of West Bengal in India.

Note that this issue crops up in the main Bengal article, which spells out regions without any sourcing, in the same manner. Mangoe (talk) 17:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- It would be great if someone could supply a definition from a gazetteer, atlas, or other reliable source; I couldn't find one. Raw Google hits alone are an unconvincing argument for inclusion. There are plenty of Ghits for "east Carolina" and "west Carolina", for example, but Wikipedia wisely doesn't have articles on those terms. Thanks for pointing out the repetition in the Bengal article, I've tagged it there. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:24, 15 August 2017 (UTC)
- Strong keep --- The river Ganges (Padma) forms the boundary between North and South Bengal and this concept is way older than modern Indian republic and Bangladesh.#
"Anyone can stick "south" on the name of a region"--- OH YA! almost every Bangladeshi and indian, especially indian bengali news agencies have editing section for "South Bengal". More:

- Delete This is a conjectural name. While sometimes used informally in the media, there is no specific definition or academic usage.

- Rewrite or Delete - The article is mostly original research; however the term South Bengal is not neologism either. This puts us in a dilemma. If you ask about North Bengal, my position would be strong keep, since 'North Bengal' has well defined meaning and has wide official, academic and casual use. In contrast, 'South Bengal' is seldom used in official or academic literature and is sometimes casually used to refer to southern divisions (Khulna Division and Barisal Division) in Bangladesh and most of the southern parts of West Bengal. (Note: In Bangladesh, southern parts of West Bengal is never referred to as South Bengal but almost always as West Bengal.) The geographic area which this term refers to is vague and wildly varies. If the article exists, it should be totally rewritten just covering the use of this term and not a geographic region itself. --nafSadh did say 19:13, 22 August 2017 (UTC)

Since nominator User:JimKrause is an SPA, and delete voter User:Sandals1 had only five edits to his name before !voting here, their participation must be given less weight than that of more experienced editors. However, this is an unsourced borderline article. If the article can be improved with sources, it can be proposed for restoration to mainspace. If it is not, it will automatically be deleted after a certain period of inattention. bd2412 T 04:05, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

The prominence of his roles in theatre productions as well as the relevancy of the plays themselves and the theatres is dubious. It should also be noted that a google search reveals bleak results (aside from actor sites such as IMDB, his agency and the school he works for) and an image search yields only a few results. Not that google results should be a determining factor, but even with his plethora of work, it gives you an indication as to the level of prominence and amount of recognition he has gained as an actor. --2607:FEA8:1160:4FD:4D58:B6CE:670A:BFDC (talk) 18:22, 18 August 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. An actor does not get an automatic free pass over WP:NACTOR just because roles are listed in the article — he gets over NACTOR when a satisfactory degree of reliable source coverage about him can be added to support the claim that any given role was noteworthy enough to count as an NACTOR pass. This is completely unsourced, however — but no actor ever gets to keep an unsourced article for any reason, and neither Google or ProQuest is turning up the depth or volume of reliable source coverage required to salvage it.

The result was No action. I'm closing this AfD without prejudice as the filer is topic banned from LGBT-articles, broadly construed ([60]) and thus the AfD itself was improperly started. EvergreenFir (talk) 04:25, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

Fails WP:LISTN and violates WP:DIRECTORY. The main Southern Poverty Law Center already discusses the list in detail. It's not Wikipedia's job to promote the views of a single organization. And the list simply changes too much to maintain it properly on an encyclopedia. I am also nominating the following related pages because it makes even less sense to have a separate article for a sub-list:
- List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as anti-LGBT hate groups (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
Instaurare (talk) 02:35, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep as per the numerous arguments about sourcing and notability made less than 10 months ago when this article was previously nominated for deletion by the same user. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 02:31, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- That discussion led to no consensus, and I believe it's ripe for discussion again per CNN's example: "Editor's Note: The headline on this story has been changed to more closely align with the content of the piece, which clearly indicates that the data on hate groups is from the Southern Poverty Law Center. This story has also been updated to provide direct links to the full list from the SPLC as opposed to publishing the entire list here, and context has been added regarding some groups who oppose their inclusion on the SPLC list." Instaurare (talk) 02:36, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Less than ten months ago, you nominated this article, and there was not even remotely consensus to delete it. Nothing has substantively changed. The list also does not "promote the views" of the SPLC. (That's like saying having the List of organisations banned by the Government of India endorses the Indian government's views. It's nonsense. It also ignores the fact that groups' objections to being designated as hate groups appears prominently in the list). Neutralitytalk 02:40, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Moreover, this clearly meets WP:LISTN because "it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources." See, e.g.:
- Niraj Chokshi, "The year of 'enormous rage': Number of hate groups rose by 14 percent in 2015" (Washington Post, 2016) - article extensively discussing list
- Kim Severson, "Number of U.S. Hate Groups Is Rising, Report Says" (New York Times, 2012) - article extensively discussing list
- Mike McPhate, "Law Center Finds Surge in Extremist Groups in U.S. Last Year" (New York Times, 2016) - article extensively discussing list
- Phillip Lucas, Critics: SPLC targets, demonizes conservative groups (Associated Press, 2016): ("Many consider The Southern Poverty Law Center's annual list of U.S. extremist groups an authoritative glimpse into racist and anti-government activity")
- Carol M. Swain, The New White Nationalism in America: Its Challenge to Integration (Cambridge University Press, 2002), pp. 75-78 (extensively discussing SPLC's list).
- Chen 2006 (SPLC and ADL are authoritative sources for identifying domestic extremists and hate groups")
- Perry 2001 (SPLC provides "invaluable service for the public")
- Neiwert 2013 ("the Southern Poverty Law Center ... remains the most assidous, detailed, and dependently factual of all the organizations that gather and publish information on the radical right in America")
- Spitzer 2001 (SPLC is "a nationally respected organization devoted to tracking domestic terrorist and racist groups").
- The bottom line is that some people don't like the SPLC. That's not a reason for deletion. Neutralitytalk 02:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Keep - Easily meets WP:LISTN and WP:GNG as demonstrated by the sources listed by Neutrality, and just about every major news organization in the United States. The article has been viewed by more than 375 people per day over the past year which suggests that it's a subject of interest to readers. The SPLC is a highly-cited, well-respected source that tracks hate groups, and has worked to expose them for decades. WP:NOTDIRECTORY is inapplicable because this list article is unlike any of the seven examples listed. This article has context, is organized into categories, is well-sourced, and contains numerous links to articles about other notable subjects. Complaints about the quality of the article or the need to keep it updated do not hold sway in a deletion discussion. All that matters is notability, and suitability for inclusion in this encyclopedia, both of which are strongly evident.- MrX 02:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

- Keep. Trout for the AfD proposer, as this widely discussed list topic resoundingly meets the very low notability requirement at WP:LISTN. This list article is helpful as it conveys the prominent (and manifold) reactions to the list, and the list article can document its changes over time, encyclopedic facts which would not be found at the SPLC list itself.

- Speedy Keep - Applicability:section 3. This Does not fail WP:LISTN: One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources - This list is frequently cited and mentioned in reliable sources.

ParuchuriGopalakrishna did not contain anything which was not also included in either present or past versions of Paruchuri Gopala Krishna, so there was nothing to merge. As for the suggestion of merging Paruchuri Gopala Krishna with Paruchuri Brothers, that is a separate issue, and can be discussed on the relevant talk pages: it does not need a deletion discussion.

There are 3 different articles on this same person, ParuchuriGopalakrishna, Paruchuri Gopala Krishna and Paruchuri Brothers. First two are the same person, third includes same person + brother. Suggest merge into one & delete two, all lack citations to RS. Atsme📞📧 01:09, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

- Speedy delete ParuchuriGopalakrishna, as it is a 100% recreation of Paruchuri Gopala Krishna after the move. Paruchuri Brothers contains the same list under filmography as Paruchuri Gopala Krishna. Given the sheer number of works they have and that many of them don't seem distinctly not notable, I lean towards a selective merge of Paruchuri Gopala Krishna to the Paruchuri Brothers -(similar to The Wachowskis). menaechmi (talk) 13:45, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

An adequately-sourced and seemingly accurate article, although clearly and inevitably negative. Per WP:BLP1E, should it be here? Does it pass WP:BLPN? Is this what we're here to do?
Also see recent removals at Lord Grey School. Merge to that article would be a possibility.

- leaning delete What I'm seeing is all news coverage, connected to a few events a decade to seven years ago. After that, the GHits cease, so I see no lasting notoriety. Mangoe (talk) 17:16, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Strong delete this is the case of a head teacher getting in legal trouble for alleged criminal actions. Nothing of note here. This is just a passing news event, not at all encyclopedic in nature. One way to judge this is to ask "if this event had occured in 1917, would we have any chance of finding any source mentioning it?" The answer is no, so it is a non-notable event, so it does not make the person notable, so we delete the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 06:24, 4 September 2017 (UTC)

Ran a department at a minor university, which is probably not sufficient grounds to consider this academic notable. Salimfadhley (talk) 00:52, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- Speedy delete G5 as one of the slew of poor articles created by socks of banned editor Novonium. But apart from that ... QUB as a Russell Group university is not "minor" so the nomination is misleading. PamD 02:37, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
- His books look solid, lots of holdings in Worldcat, though the original article creator never bothers with little details like publisher, date, isbn. I could probably improve this article but don't want to spend my time to give a sockpuppet the satisfaction of seeing "their" article survive in the encyclopedia. Delete for now, without prejudice to future recreation by an editor with better article-creation habits. PamD 11:59, 31 August 2017 (UTC)
