The result was speedy keep. This is not a right place to nominate a redirect for deletion. Also, the proposer's rationale is unclear (what does not exist? What should be in all caps?). Vanjagenije (talk) 13:58, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As it does not exist yet, it does not need to exist. Also, it's likely to be all caps. Wakari07 (talk) 16:22, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This AfD has not been set up correctly. In addition this a redirect not an article so its not even using the correct item. This page should redirect to 2014 Jerusalem unrest, which as the first sentence clearly indicates, has been called by this name. - GalatzTalk 17:57, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I'm in agreement with Galatz. This term is used in 2014 Jerusalem unrest and can be a target for the redirect. --Mhhossein talk 19:03, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This person appears not to be notable by our standards. The references in the article appear trivial in the extreme – I don't immediately see even one independent reliable source with in-depth cover of the subject. A G-news search does yield some hits – according to Le Figaro, he was imprisoned for aggravated corruption and aggravated assault of minors in October 2016; however, I don't find any confirmation of this report in any other mainstream news source. Even if the sexual abuse allegation proves to be true and documented, it does not make him notable. I can't see why we need an article on him.

Note: this is not the Benjamin Lemaire who started 'Le vin tout simplement', nor the sixteen-year-old cyclist of the same name. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 22:32, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further note: I removed a number of "publications" from the article as the publisher was Neverland Editions. Until a couple of hours ago, this page read "Neverland est une jeune maison d'édition indépendante créé par Ben Lemaire, Arthur Manderley et Etienne Charles pour défendre des projets engagés de expérimentaux. Bien que nos publications soient principalement orientées sur la poésie, nous sommes ouverts à tout type d'ouvrage à condition qu'ils aient une plume ..." (if you hurry and search for it on Google you may still see that text). It has since been changed, and the publications re-added to the article by MangoZona. It's really, really hard to imagine that could be a co-incidence ... Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:32, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yet another note: I've now also nominated for deletion Lilly Wood and The Prick au Trianon, about a video apparently made by Lemaire (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lilly Wood and The Prick au Trianon). I assume that non-notable video is what MangoZona has referred to below as "1 notable feature accepted in WP"? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:38, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted because it fails notability guidlines per WP:GNG and also fails WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO. There have been other pages, such as for actress Kelly McCormack, which have been deleted for this same reason. Wikipedia does not have pages for actors merely because they exist. Almost all of the sources used are IMDb, YouTube, or WP:BLOGS and zero reliable source coverage that meets the Wikipedia standards… After a Google search of my own, I was not able to find any more significant coverage to assert notability. Reliable source coverage supporting a credible notability claim per WP:NACTOR is necessary for such a page to exist on Wikipedia. Kim Leung (talk) 22:01, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

fails WP:NPOL, mayors of a town of about 40,000 people are not notable. Rusf10 (talk) 21:56, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No there is not a cutoff. However, the guidelines state that they must eithier have 1. Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. This also applies to persons who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them. In this case, No OR 2. Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.- Outside of local news, this is not the case 3. Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".- In this case, that is true, it does not--Rusf10 (talk) 22:14, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The list should not exist because the contents of it are not notable.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:16, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are mayors of Teaneck who are not notable for any other reason:

  • Keep all the GNG says if they have sufficient references they are notable. I have a feeling this is a personal issue. There is also no requirement to be notable for multiple things. --RAN (talk) 22:00, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Lack of sources is not the issue, its notability. Yes, there is plenty of local press coverage here. And I do not have any personal issues with you, so I don't know where that's coming from.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:22, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Significant press coverage" does not exclude statewide or local coverage. Notability is determined by sources. The "personal" was about the city, not about you and me. -- --RAN (talk) 22:24, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
sorry, I misunderstood. But no I don't have anything against Teaneck, its a nice town.--Rusf10 (talk) 22:37, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
also sourcing is an issue in the John Abraham article, there are none. And most of the others the only reliable source is basically an obituary. --Rusf10 (talk) 22:33, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep all and relist separately. This is a train wreck. — MShabazz Talk/Stalk 15:34, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep all - Faulty nomination. Original nom of the list is based on notability for individuals. Addition of individuals is based on "because they are mayors of Teaneck who are not notable for any other reason," which is obviously incorrect even just looking at the leads of the articles. No objection to speedy renomination of individuals. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:53, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- there seems to be objection to the bundling of these nominations. I figure that they were related pages, so I nominated together to avoid clutter. I therefore will withdraw this nomination and renominate each page separately.--Rusf10 (talk) 18:32, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Subject is unencylopedic. Meatsgains (talk) 20:34, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge/Redirect - To Cookie dough. I don't know that the subject is inherently unencyclopedic, but I also don't see a compelling reason that this should be a stand alone article when it could very well help fill out the main article which leaves much to be desired. No prejudice toward spinning off again if the main article eventually become too cumbersome. GMGtalk 20:40, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strike redirect per points raised by User:BD2412 that I should have but didn't consider. GMGtalk 22:05, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: This article could be better obviously, but the topic itself seems completely fine if that's the issue. the topic is notable and in my opinion is different enough from 'Cookie dough' to constitute its own article. I just went to the Cookie dough article and added a see also section with a link to The Safety of Eating Raw Cookie Dough. That hopefully should be fine enough. And for anyone who without reading the article will come to this discussion and claim that the article is bias just because this topic could easily be made into a bias article, I can tell you from reading it that it's not. Grapefruit17 (talk) 21:08, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not against the subject at all. My only concern is that it seems to be a definite subordinate topic to that of cookie dough, and it doesn't seem that the main article is developed enough to warrant a WP:SPINOFF. GMGtalk 21:12, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What we have here is a former member of the National Assembly of Madagascar which would meet NPOLITICIAN if we could verify it but is now an unreferenced BLP. I did, what I consider to be, an exhaustive web search and found nothing but Wiki-mirrors. The original external link no longer works and even checked the Way Back Machine with no luck. If we are going to require that all BLPs have sources this needs to be deleted. I will happily withdraw this nomination if a source is located. J04n(talk page) 20:15, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • He's noted here as part of a delegation. Describes him as an MP representing Morombe which is consistent with what our entry says. FloridaArmy (talk) 20:25, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep This is a huge pass of the notability guidelines for politicians. Madagascar is a major country, and we would keep him even if he was in the legislature of the much less importannt by any measure Mauritius. I am confident more sources exist in either Malagasy or French, actually probably both. One might have to peruse libraries in Madagascar to find such sources. I would like to see the article state which dates he served in the National Assembly, and even who preceded and succeeded him. However Wikipedia is a work in progress, and we do not throw out articles because we cannot currently get them to have a minimal amount of useful information. As long as there is enough sourcing to verify that someone was in fact part of a national assembly, we keep the article. We Even keep the article if an indepth search reveals we will probably only even have their name appearing on one listing of the members of the national assembly of that place. For the same reasons we keep articles on kings for whom we know little more than their name, at least as long as their being real historical figures can be verrified, and in some cases even when the authenticity of the information on them is in dispute.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:01, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I created this to be a redirect because people interested in the subject should find something. Instead, an article was attempted from it that so clearly does not meet WP:GNG that a discussion should not be necessary, but yet here we are. He fails WP:POLITICIAN as an unelected candidate. The only sources that cover him in any depth only address an arrest, so that's a BLP issue. To be clear, I want this to be redirected back to his fathers' article, as I had established it. I'm disappointed this process is necessary for such a clearly non-notable case. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:08, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete- at least for now. Not only has he not won an election, he hasn't even officially announced he is running. Otherwise, he is not notable and notability certainly isn't inherited from his father.--Rusf10 (talk) 21:36, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy redirect - I agree with the OP, but I don't feel a week-long discussion should be necessary. The redirect is to a related topic and to discourage re-creation. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:39, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I didn't want to initiate a week-long discussion on this either, but an editor reverted my redirecting this to his father's article, and there's no better mechanism to have this discussion than AfD, even though deletion isn't what I'm looking for. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:47, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete absolutely no reason to redirect at this point. A redirect might be worthwhile if Conyers wins the primary, but at this point he is a person who is not even for sure going to be on the ballot. I do think this primary will be another that will illustrate why Michigan should have run-off primaries, but we will see. Short of winning the election, Conyers will not be notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:25, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Redirect I agree with the sentiment of Wikipedia:Redirects are cheap, and this is not (yet) notable for a standalone article. cnzx (talk) 03:54, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Restore redirect or delete. This is a plausible search term, but a person does not qualify for a Wikipedia article just for being a prospective candidate in a future congressional primary. Even being a confirmed candidate in the primary still isn't a notability criterion per se, and even winning the primary and thereby getting on the general election ballot still isn't grounds for a standalone Wikipedia article — to pass WP:NPOL, a person has to actually win the general election and thereby hold the office, not just run as a candidate. And until that happens, the only other way a candidate qualifies for an article is to properly demonstrate that he was already notable enough for one for some reason entirely independent of the candidacy, but this makes no other claim of preexisting notability for any other reason. No prejudice against recreation on or after election day 2018 if he wins the seat, but absolutely nothing here already gets him a standalone BLP today.

No harm done keeping this a while and doing another AfD after awhile if it doesn't get any better. I don't consider the personal history of his family, etc. or other currently cited material sufficient for long term notability. SPECIFICO talk 18:13, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • That coverage is awfully thin though.

Er - sorry? The sources I posted are, respectively, 20 paragraphs, 70 paragraphs, 17 paragraphs, 40 paragraphs, 40 paragraphs. The 2 in DHeyward's post are 40 paragraphs and 10 paragraphs. Now they're newspaper paragraphs, not Russian novel paragraphs, but still, most of these are non-trivial indepth sources. And yes, they are local papers, but they are local papers unrelated to each other, and local to half a dozen states spread over half the country, and over 4 years. --GRuban (talk) 04:19, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New York Times has 3 articles.[2], and here's one of a few CNN refs and here's one of a dozen or USAToday pieces. They show notability over many years and different topics.

This and the related article Micromasonry, also nominated here, are both promotional hype about inventions by Javier Fernandez, and are about things that happened 6 years ago that never came to be. Both were created by the IP Special:Contributions/161.116.100.92 and then elaborated on by the SPA User:Alt1979, and both are based on the media going gaga over science press releases. I have merged/redirected the useful content in Shrilk to Chitosan#Bioprinting already. An IP from the university where the person who invented this works now reverted the redirect, and reverted the speedy deletion nomination I did after that, and also left me this message. So here we are. Jytdog (talk) 17:49, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Shrilk is referred, for example, to as “one of the materials that will change the future of manufacturing” (Scientific American), a “Supermaterial” (National Geographic), and has been chosen (with graphene) one of the “five material that could change the word” (The Guardian). It caused all that "hype" because was the first artificial demonstration of the reproduction of the natural synergies in structural biomaterials. A key factor for their generalized use in technology. The "promotional hype" is actually a personal and strongly biased opinion unsupported by any data or reference. Actually there is no such "hype" or interest decrease on the topic. In addition to its scientific and technological relevance, it is recommended to keep this page due to the large number of citations on printed and digital media to Shrilk, included most main media outlets (see "Find sources" links at the heading of this page).
This year this "promotional hype about something that happened 6 years ago that never came to be" as the user Jytdog describes it, was chosen by the Launch foundation (NASA, USAID, the U.S. Department of State, NIKE...) as one of the leading technologies for a sustainable world.
The user Jytdog has been informed through the editions as well as in his user page on the importance of this material in the field of bioinspired engineering, but he seems unreasonable and motivated by a personal opinion on the time required for a technology to transcend the laboratory environment. His argumentation is based on who has collaborated on the article, ignoring the discussion on the actual content of the article. He is repeatedly ignoring that the success of a technology or the lack of practical use of a scientific achievement, are not included as reasons for deletion on Wikipedia's policies. Ignoring also that Shrilk has triggered a transformation of plastic industry and packaging (references are deliberatively chosen among those with less than a year), even if the speed of that transformation seems to be unsatisfactory for the user proposing the deletion of this article.
The user has been informed multiple times, and he has repeatedly vandalized the page redirecting it to a different article. Additionally, he seems confused on the nature of the material, which describes as "bioprinted" on the Chitosan article where he wants to merge this. Shrilk is not bioprinted, is produced by sequential layer deposition by film casting as is described in this article. As a result of the lack of understanding of this user on the topic of this article and those on the same area, there is an unintended damage to Wikipedia's content. Due to the obvious lack of expertise and the biased negative opinion of the user, it is suggest a ban for further vandalism of this page and related topics.

How are the articles in Nat Geo, The Guardian and others not a sign of notability? Egaoblai (talk) 16:25, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There needs to be enduring coverage. The refs are clustered in time; the press sometimes picks up on science press releases and runs with them (we talk about this in WP:MEDREV for example) and so some refs were indeed generated. (Content about this stuff is not subject to MEDRS; health claims about uses would be if there were any.) But this should not really have been created per WP:NOTNEWS and indeed this all it has turned out to be so far - there is a WP:TOOSOON aspect here.
These articles appear to me to have been created in an effort at promotion and we are not here to promote anything or anyone, per WP:PROMO. Jytdog (talk) 18:43, 9 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Quick search of secondary sources playing with the made-up rule of "enduring" coverage (inexistent rule on WP:NOTE). Google search of Shrilk returns more than 72,000 results only in English:
- National Geographic, 2013: (Link)
- The Guardian and CNN. 2014: (Link1) (Link2)
- BBC and Popular Science, 2015: (Link1) (Link2)
- Huffington Post, 2016: (Link)
- The New York Times, 2017: (Link)
All of them across time and on high quality independent secondary sources with specialized editors on the topic of this article. No press releases or picking of press releases included. For more (there are literally thousands of mentions to Shrilk on the media): google.
Additionally those claiming WP:TOOSOON (a rule hardly aplicable for science and technology) seems to be mixing the concepts of notability WP:GNG (which this article pass with flying colors as per WP standards of WP:Secondary) with commercialization. There are many materials which are not commercialized or applied such as graphene or metamaterials, but still are notable because their impact on the field. Also note that age doesn’t change notability, that is why obsolete technologies like the Walkman or LaserDisc have a WP page. Therefore, while this Shrilk has a demonstrated 'endured, coverage, the ad-hoc request of it seems inappropriate for this discussion (Maybe it is for those claiming WP:NOTNEWS) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.24.77.60 (talk) 06:18, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Substantial discussion is of the essence. Do you see how the mentions get more dwindling with time? the 2014 refs are one paragraph, and ditto the 2015 huff-po blog (ahem). listicles really. The 2017 NYT ref is even more passing. Substantial discussion over time, this is not. says yoda (btw, laserdisk and walkman were actual products, and the walkman was very impactful. Shrilk is still very early stage, un-commercialized technology. we do wish you all the best in translating this science to the marketplace, but WP is not a vehicle to help with that) Jytdog (talk) 06:26, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's is what you got wrong all the time. Shrilk is NOT a technology and it is not in early stage. As the article mentions, Shrilk is a material, first of its kind, reproducing the synergies on natural materials with its own molecules. That is why it was impactful. Nobody in the field thinks that Shrilk is a technology as nobody thinks graphene is a technology. Also I believe you still are mixing the concepts of notability and commercialization/application, and the "Do you see how the mentions get more dwindling with time?" has already being demonstrated false the first time you mentioned it with a link to the google searches of the material for the last five years (see above). You are just ignoring the data and supporting subjective arguments at this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.94.70.60 (talk) 06:40, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This is my last reply here. Sure it is a material.... that is unfeasible commercially. As the NYT says "it is not yet cost-competitive." So it is a nifty trick so far with lots of potential, but is not actually good for anything. Yet. It may be one day. Hence the WP:TOOSOON. Jytdog (talk) 15:11, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You still are mixing the concepts of commercialization with notability. The notability of a material is not limited to its commercial success. A material can be notable (and worth of a Nobel prize) because its unexpected and/or outstanding properties. The obvious example of graphene has been given to you multiple times in this discussion, and you still prefer to ignore it. Graphene has all the characteristics you are describing for WP:TOOSOON: It can't be produced in large amounts, doesn't have application, it is not cost competitive. It still is EXTREMELLY relevant in the field, and worth of a Nobel Prize, because its properties. As in the case of Shrilk, Graphene might never be applied, but its notability doesn't depend on that. And it is not the only one, many materials are relevant because what they represent in the field and their rare/unexpected properties, not because the feasibility of its application. Here you have a list of some of them, all fitting in what you consider a unsuitable material to be in WP, all of them with a well deserved WP page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.94.70.60 (talk) 02:15, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Two (really) last replies. Graphene is important scientifically - it was the basis for a Nobel. And the first graphene products are now on the market, admittedly 13 years after it was isolated and characterized (the work that won the Nobel). So there is no comparison, and especially not on the level of basic science. Jytdog (talk) 17:03, 13 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hatting for the same reasons as this was closed. - The Bushranger One ping only 12:51, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Jytdog is purposely ignoring the information that other users are providing. They have already remarked that notability doesn’t go away with time, that is why there are articles about obsolete technologies/achievements. However Jytdog still remarking that the "long" age (6 years) since the laboratory invention of Shrilk makes it suitable for deletion.
Jytdog refers to "clustering references" while ignoring those links provided by other users to Shrilk-related searches on internet, being those constant for the last 5 years. Other users have also provided recent reports from main governmental agencies and articles in NY times from 5 months ago. All of them ignored by Jytdog in his argumentation.
Jytdog talks about promotion of something, but he doesn't specify of what; there is no company or product mentioned in the article. His sole argument to support "promotion" is that someone from the same institution as the inventor is opposing an arbitrary deletion of an article created in 2013 with contributions from +20 people. It is hard to believe that someone needs to promote with couple of paragraphs on Wikipedia a scientific achievement which is covered by National Geographic, Scientific American, The New York Times... and even have several documentaries about it (nothing less than BBC and ARTE). Also it seems that person interested on promoting Shrilk learnt Portuguese to also promote it in other languages.
It has been highlighted that the inference of Jytdog on topics out of his expertise is resulting in destruction of valuable information. His "collaborations" are not different opinions or views on a topic, something that clearly enrich WP, but blatantly erroneous and flawed technical information in technical/scientific articles. One might wonder why Jytdog is doing this and if he is doing it following WP mission or his own personal agenda (see below).
In conclusion Jytdog is neglecting the facts provided by other users, is not backing his personal opinions by any data, and he is trying to force a discussion on COI issues rather than the topic of the article and its notability. In the light of those facts, one might get the idea that the user having a COI with Shrilk is Jytdog and not the user reverting his changes. Even more, a quick check on the user backgorung retuns that Jytdog is banned to edit "other" WP topics. In particular to agricultural chemicals. Considering that Chitosan, the article where Jytdog is trying to merge Shrilk and vandalized including obviously incorrect technical information, it has as main use "agricultural and horticultural" one might argue that he is actually breaking the ban. I believe this should be further investigated and actions taken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.193.226.178 (talk) 07:59, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The nomination for deletion does not provide justification or support from specific citation *within* the article that substantiates the claims of the nomination other than links to WP policy pages. However, these concerns are addressed in detail below:

1) Re: “I cannot find any intellectually independent sources.

-Wall Street Journal, Seattle Times, Sydney Morning Herald, and Chicago Tribune all meet criteria for intellectually independent sources according to WP:ORGIND “Sources used to support a claim of notability include independent, reliable publications in all forms, such as *newspaper articles,* books, television documentaries, websites, and *published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.*”

cf: Wall Street Journal Ref 7: Chen, Stefanos (2017-03-22). "The U.S. Apartment Boom, Measured in Construction Cranes". Wall Street Journal. ISSN 0099-9660. Retrieved 2017-11-30.

cf: Seattle Times Ref 8: ”Seattle has most cranes in the country for 2nd year in a row — and lead is growing". The Seattle Times. 2017-07-11. Retrieved 2017-11-06.

cf: Sydney Morning Herald Ref 23: Cummins, Carolyn (2017-09-29). "There are a lot of cranes in the sky". The Sydney Morning Herald. Retrieved 2017-11-06.

Further, there are *26* other independent sources covering Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) cited in this article. The above also addresses “References fail WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH” as well, but points below expound on this claim to some extent as well.

2) Re: “Article is also promotional, fails WP:SPIP.

- This claim has not been substantiated with any specific references to promotional content. It is possible that the article may seem promotional to those unfamiliar with the role of quantity surveying in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) field; however, there are no skyscrapers, olympics, or major architectural achievements without quantity surveying and cost modeling processes. Rider Levett Bucknall’s major project involvement as quantity surveyor (Olympics, Megatall buildings ((Wuhan CTF Centre, soon to be China’s highest skyscraper)), Atlanta Falcons NFL Stadium, and others), and the research function of its analytics and reporting, have both been considered notable enough to be written about by the above cited sources, and numerous others. Notability in this instance, and detailed exposition of the subject matter, supercedes an implication of promotion.

A detailed article about a firm, which is essential to the existence of some of the highest buildings in the world and major sporting venues among other significant cultural objects, should not be deemed promotional simply because it explores a corporation.

WP:SPIP states, “The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the topic itself (or of its manufacturer, creator, author, inventor, or vendor) have actually considered the topic notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works of their own that focus upon it—without incentive, promotion, or other influence by people connected to the topic matter.” If the article is "overly promotional" then other significant peer articles on Wikipedia in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction industries would fail this test as well. See: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Bechtel, etc.

3) This is speculative, but I am wondering if this article is being nominated for deletion simply because the subject matter seems “boring” on a cursory reading. Or if the nomination is motivated by an idea that: “This is an article about a corporation not widely known, it is therefore promotional.” Further, it seems odd that this page is receiving objection if WP:AUD is considered. WP:AUD states: “The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of significant coverage by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability.” Would argue that the source audiences here are both global and relevant. Certainly any students of AEC would need and seek this information. Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) is a development of trunks within the discourse of AEC and and helps answer the questions:

“What are some notable examples of firms doing quantity surveying work?

“What is the nature of their involvement in the construction and design of significant AEC achievements”?

Thank you to all who have contributed for your service to Wikipedia and for vetting this work.

  • Comment Quick responses to your long post. The requirement for two "intellectually independent" references is not satisfied merely by WP:RS. The reference must also contain independent analysis or optinion and not merely namecheck the company or regurgitate quotations from company officers such as the articles you've mentioned. For example, the WSJ article mentions the company once in conjuction with a quotation from an RLB VP. This is not intellectually independent and fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Your other examples fail for the same reasons. The article fails WP:SPIP because there is nothing within the article to indicate notability - its a simple run-of-the-mill company - and providing lists of "services" and "major projects" is an attempt to use Wikipedia as a free company brochure to advertise the company. You must have missed the part that states very clearly that Publication in a reliable source is not always good evidence of notability. Wikipedia is not a promotional medium. Self-promotion, autobiography, product placement and most paid material are not valid routes to an encyclopedia article. Finally, WP:AUD only comes into play if criteria regarding intellectually independent references has been met - it hasn't. -- HighKing++ 13:42, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Looks like the company paid someone to write the article - it was created ready made with dozens of references. I checked 10 of the references and none of those indicated notability, they were very run of the mill, promotional, lacking depth or similar. I don't have time to check all of the references - I think that quantity of references is intended to pull the wool over my eyes. Szzuk (talk) 19:50, 14 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Szzuk There is no need to go ad hominem, here. I am a PhD candidate at the University of Utah. This is not a paid article. Was created out leftover AEC research for my doctoral dissertation. Deletion of the Services and Sectors sections is probably a good idea. -- HighKing++ makes a valid point on that count. However there is much left unaddressed in my response to the initial argument for deletion post. Will respond more in a few, but I think the supposition that this is paid is offensive and needlessly incendiary. Vincent Wedge (talk) 23:12, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Vincent Wedge[reply]

Completely unreferenced WP:BLP of a voice actress. As always, actors are not handed an automatic free WP:NACTOR pass just because roles have been listed -- to be considered notable just for having been in stuff, she needs to be the subject of media coverage about her performances in stuff. But the closest thing there is to sourcing here is the external links to her own Twitter and her profiles on IMDb and the IMDb equivalent for the anime genre, none of which are notability-supporting sources. Again, we require coverage about her, not just cursory verification in comprehensive "all actors" directories that she exists. Bearcat (talk) 15:32, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For her roles in DBZ Ocean or Sabrina the Teenage Witch to count as notability claims, she has to be the subject of reliable source coverage about those performances — merely asserting that a role was significant or major is not a notability freebie that exempts a person from having to be the subject of coverage about the role. But the source you've provided for Sabrina is the production company's own self-published website about itself, not a reliable or notability-supporting source. And for the local theatre sources, two of the three sources you provided merely namecheck her existence a single time without being about her — and the one article that is about her is from a local community weekly pennysaver in the context of having one role with the local community theatre, which is neither a notability claim in the first place nor a strong enough source to singlehandedly carry her over WP:GNG all by itself if all the rest of the sourcing is junk. Bearcat (talk) 16:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The community one is at least to demonstrate that she has been covered by an independent secondary source. That's not to say her Vancouver theatre work is Wikipedia-notable; it probably isn't. The DBZ shows a starring role in a significant show and the same with the Sabrina film, shows significance not a throwaway background part. But overall this would still be borderline WP:ENT.

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

This stub has been sitting unsourced since its creation in 2006, and tagged as such since 2009. A WP:BEFORE search reveals that "Cerberus Hemisphere" was an informal name given to a mosaic of pictures taken by the Viking 1 orbiter in 1980. It is named after the prominent Cerberus dark area. This picture is referenced in a couple of astronomy books from the 1990s. The earliest mention seems to be a 1988/89 report from the NASA planetary geology program,[1] which names four such picture mosaics as "hemispheres":

The "Valles Marineris Hemisphere" mosaic covers the region from ~30° to 130° longitude, including Valles Marineris, Tharsis Montes, Lunae Planum, and Chryse and Acidalia Planitiae. The "Cerberus Hemisphere" mosaic covers the region from ~140° to 230° longitude, including Elysium, Arcadia and Amazonia Planitiae and ancient cratered highlands. The "Schiaparelli Hemisphere" mosaic covers the region from ~280° to 30° longitude, including Arabia Terra, Syrtis Major Planum, Hellas Planitia and the Oxia Palus area. The "Syrtis Major Hemisphere" mosaic covers the region from ~260° to 350° longitude, including Arabia Terra, Syrtis Major Planum, and Isidis and Hellas Planitiae.

The name "Cerberus Hemisphere" is not included in various modern sources detailing the topography of Mars; it appears to be only an anecdotal name that did not acquire enduring notability independently of this particular picture and mission. Hence my proposal to delete the article as insignificant and potentially misleading. We could possibly quote the book and display the Viking-era pictures in our article about Viking 1.

I believe the previous AfD reached an erroneous conclusion. The journals with which the subject is associated turn out to be predatory open access, and confer no prestige at all. FRSC is not a prestigious award, it is a box-ticking exercise that can be obtained by any practitioner in the field after a few years. There are no independent biographical sources, and the author of the article has no other significant contributions.

You seem to be saying that the subject of the article publishes in unreputable journals, and while that is a concern, it is possible for a influential paper to be published in a crap journal, what you need to show is that the citations are crap.

I hope this dispels the notion that the citations are from predatory open-access journals. "Supports open access" does not mean that all articles are open-access, in fact in many of these journals a large majority of articles use the traditional model (for example Food Engineering Reviews has published 171 articles of which 3 were open-access).

  • Keep. This article has good material in it, and the topic is sufficiently important to warrant representation in Wikipedia. I am satisfied that its appearance in Wikipedia does not violate any copyright based on Harnad's response and the changes to the entry relative to the earlier encyclopedia article on categorical perception. 15:39, 3:50, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Keep. Definitely a legitemate, notable academic topic, based on the sources in the article and through a Google Books search. There's definitely room for cleanup, but I don't think it's necessarily fatal. I've instructed the original contributor to file with OTRS on the copyright issue. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 15:39, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
This article is a work of original research. That is not what Wikipedia is for. How many of the sources in the article mention categorical perception, are the there to verify other subjects which are then bought together by original synthesis to build this article? Which of the books hits are about this categorical perception? Regarding the copyright issue, given that this was published in Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science would we also need permission from them? duffbeerforme (talk) 20:57, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Duffbeerforme: Please don't be too defensive in order to score cheap point of deleting article you misthought is OR. Not talk of "mentioning," which is ubiquitous (if one really searches), below are academic books all published by internationally respected publishers, they all have "Categorical perception" in title and "discuss it" in entire content. The fact that you didn't see or know doesn't meant it doesn't exists. –Ammarpad (talk) 05:00, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is far, far from OR or journal webshosting. In good faith, it seems you forgot to do WP:BEFORE. "Categorical perception" (aka, CP) is well known topic and covered "specifically" in Academic books: Published by Cambridge Press, [12], Published by Standford University [13], Significant discusion [14], Published by Indiana University [15].

  • Comment: I had originally closed this as a clear keep. However, after being requested to look into this by the nominator, I got curious and ran a check using Earwig's tool...and given the results I'm struggling to come up with a good reason not to speedy delete, or at least blank, this as WP:COPYVIO, and have accordingly relisted it in case somebody can supply a good reason why it isn't. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @The Bushranger:, I will try to rewrite it. The sheer volume of resources about this topic is what made me to missed that problem, which is also unbeknown to me, since the article wasn't tagged as such. Nonetheless, we don't normally brought copyvio in AfD (in my knowledge), when I read his nom statement, it is clear to me he meant this is not place to host what one journal published i.e OR, and I searched for sources and find quite opposite. If it were clear CV he should have G11'd it, or take it to appropriate noticeboard if bit hesitant. –Ammarpad (talk) 09:32, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ammarpad'a dismissive and insulting claims aside, Wikipedia is not a host of primary articles on the topic. Wikipedia is not here to help researchers promote their personal take on a topic. If there is a valid encyclopaedia article to be written on this topic, this is not it. Copying what I wrote on The Bushrangers talk when asking for rethinking, 1, claiming that it is not original research shows a misunderstanding about how science research works. People are meant to do research. That's what gets published. A straight out copy of that research is still that research. 2, claiming that it is not just rehosting when the link provided in the nomination Cleary proves that it is just rehosting. duffbeerforme (talk)
@Duffbeerforme: Please can you show me that specific "insulting remark" towards you so that I strike it? And I apologize for it in advance. Thanks –Ammarpad (talk) 23:23, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As I explained before, I wrote the Wiley encyclopedia entry in 2006 (originally in 2003, for Nature/Macmillan, who then transferred it to Wiley in 2006); I only granted Nature/Macmillan/Wiley the non-exclusive right to publish it, but did not transfer copyright to Nature/Macmillan/Wiley (I am an open access advocate): I retained copyright and also posted the article on WP in 2006[1]. Then, when asked recently by Patar knight this December 2017 to put the original text in the pulic domain to make sure WP is not violating copyright, I did that too: Ticket#2017120110008571] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorical_perception to Alfred Neumann, followed by a link to a copy of the original[2]. Now the WP page has changed a lot across the years since 2006; that's why the WP entry is no longer identical to the verbatim 2006 encyclopedia entry -- but that is what happens with WP entries: they keep getting edited and updated. And an encyclopedia entry, whether in Wiley's Enyclopedia of Cognitive Science[3] or in Wikipedia is just that: an encylopedia entry, not original research. --User:Harnad (talk) 20:45, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • KeepThe article in discussion seams to have been last updated in 2013 and the article already contains many valuable references. After that there have been many news articles that have appeared on the person subject of the article, and therefore this article should be valid and should continue to exist in Wikipedia. The artist is relevant to the music scene, particularly in the Italian language indie-music community. Here are some articles that have appeared in independent reputable websites and blogs after 2013:

  • Delete per nom as artist seems to be too trivial. Ernestchuajiasheng (talk) 13:39, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as the artist is relevant in the independent rock community in Italy and has also appearances on websites in English speaking countries and Spain. Non of the references are trivial. For example, the artist has mentions in Rockit.it website, which is the 3rd most important music website in Italy (In terms of Alexa traffic and Facebook followers). There are articles in the very busy and exclusive Vice magazine on the artist. There are 16,100 results in a Google Search for the artists. In addition to the references in the main article and the references mentioned in previous points of this article, you can find even more articles on the artist:

- Spain music journal example (In Spanish): https://mirolloeselindie.wordpress.com/2017/01/02/things-that-are-ok-about-me-el-nuevo-trabajo-de-dario-margeli/ http://muzikalia.com/la-playlist-emergente-la-semana-2/

The artist is relevant in these regions. Editors should be aware that there is a music community beyond the English-language media. The artist also has mentions in English language media as described earlier in the earlier points of this dicussion.

Mmm. well this is difficult. At present I've been trying to verify that it even exists, and the best I can find is [25] - which is a Punjab government document which has the address as "Gulshan Saeed Colony Mullan Wala Road Near Al-Kamal Boys High School Jampur". This is thin, but it does at least give a little hope that other sources may exist to show that the school exists. JMWt (talk) 09:13, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - on balance I think that relevant sources might exist, but it doesn't seem possible to verify that they're actually talking about the subject of this page. If someone is local to the school, one would think that they could find local sources to clarify the name and show it exists. But in the absence of those arguments, the evidence is too thin IMO.

  • Delete. While this does indeed have more sourceability than is present in the article as written, companies have the added burden of having to pass WP:AUD — which requires the coverage to expand beyond the strictly local — before they're actually considered notable. But none of the additional sources shown above actually do that — even the one that has the appearance of being from a national news organization, Global News, is from the network's local news bureau in Toronto and not from the national news division, so it's not a source that assists a CORPDEPTH pass.

  • Keep In order for a topic to meet the criteria for establishing notability, there must be two references that are published in reliable sources and which are intellectually independent (as per WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Of the 5 references posted above by Patar above, at least two meet these criteria. The torontoist.com article, while relying on some quotes from the owner in relation to the announcement on shutting down, also provides a history of the store with plenty of independent analysis and commentary. This one meets the criteria for establishing notability. In my opinion, this nowtoronto.com reference also meets the criteria. Even though it is full of quotations from various former employees, they are not current employees spouting the latest marketing department-produced soundbite but are voicing their own independent opinions. Finally, I also believe that this thestar.com reference also meets the criteria. -- HighKing++ 16:58, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The Powerhouse Museum holds his archive and states "The strength of the collection lies in the comprehensive selection of posters, original artwork and other material for the Hardie Rubber Company Ltd and (a smaller selection) for Rega, and in Porter's representative 1930s graphic style. Although Porter was not amongst the most innovative or cutting-edge of his generation; he appears not to have travelled overseas for experience or training and he never broke away from a conventional and fairly static approach to graphic design, he is interesting as his work expressed the basic design tenets of its day." Castlemate (talk) 22:05, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is a potential claim to notability, but that entire section is completely unsourced as opposed to the trivia about his high school, and Google doesn't bear out any other sources. The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:29, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- "Original [gouche] artwork (1) for 'Hardie Garden Hose signed 'Porter' in lower left corner"
- "Letterhead (1), 'Hardie Rubber Company Limited/​ Tyre Department"
- " Catalogues (3) including one for rubber footwear range for 1933-34, printed both sides and folds out to poster format;"
- "Price lists (2) for footwear and rubber footwear;"
- "Pamphlets (4) for tennis shoes, raincoats and tyres and tubes, n.d.;"
- "Leaflet (1) for Rabbit Poison 'Rabbo-Phos' stocked by James Hardie Trading Coy Ltd, n.d.;"
- "Posters (5), small, for tennis, bowls and leather casual shoes, garden hoses, kiddies shoes;"
- "Posters (14), large, two for 'Hardie Garden Hose', one with two kookaburras catching a hose (rather than a worm) which adopts imagery first used by May Gibbs in the 1920s, the second depicts a glamorous woman using a Hardie hose in a garden setting, annotated with 'Brings beauty to the Garden', c. 1939; remaining 12 are for 'Hardie North British Rubber Footwear' and are catalogue-type displays for seamless backed sportshoes, date range 1934-39"
- "Another small collection of leaflets (9) relate to Rega Products Ltd - possibly based in Marrickville, NSW between the years 1943-8, when Porter was doing this work."
- "'Oil Can Catalogue', 'Oil fillers and syringes', 'Bucket Spray Pumps', Agricultural Catalogue', 'Engineers' oil cans', 'Valve connectors', 'Motor trade catalogue', Pneumatic sprayer' and 'Valves and cocks', none are dated.
- "A miscellaneous (gouache) artwork for the magazine 'The World. Your Story Must be Told. Use the World', n.d., may relate to the first Rega leaflet listed above as the image but not the lettering is reproduced." 104.163.154.101 (talk) 00:10, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And to top that off, the entry for the archives above actually discusses his notability, saying he's very average: "Although Porter was not amongst the most innovative or cutting-edge of his generation; he appears not to have travelled overseas for experience or training and he never broke away from a conventional and fairly static approach to graphic design, he is interesting as his work expressed the basic design tenets of its day."104.163.154.101 (talk) 00:16, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Subject is notable as the intro notes ... "an Australian engineer who managed the design and construction of the Australian National Library and the Royal Australian Mint. As principal engineer in charge of the Canberra water supply, he was instrumental in the fluoridation of the national capital's water supply in 1964." References require updating but please note that this AfD on a distinguished Australian engineer is part of an attack by a user with a highly suspicious eding record. Castlemate (talk) 22:23, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Nothing to suggest notability: the only sources cited are a dead link to the Planning and Land Authority, birth and death records that apply to everyone, and his old school's Register of Past Students. The Drover's Wife (talk) 23:26, 2 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. No less an authority than the ACT Goverment not only names a road after this subject but quotes his son in detailing his life. Maybe not independent in the minds of Wikipedians but I'll go with the governments view of Porter' notability. While others are busy deleting I have taken the time to update a reference. Castlemate (talk) 16:58, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • That would indicate that only his son really knows about him, and no 3rd party people actually do. Adsfvdf54gbb (talk) 06:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • Local road naming, even in the ACT, signifies only necessarily local notability: there are millions of streets named after Joe Bloggs who had a farm in the area once or sat on a local council in 1862. Not one of the streets I lived on in the ACT was named after someone notable for Wikipedia purposes (and hell, even on your own argument - they named a lane after him, not a freeway). The Drover's Wife (talk) 08:33, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete naming roads is a dime a dozen. I can name 20 people who have roads named after them in Detroit, Michigan alone who are no where near notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:21, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The following might help to explain how a street name is gazetted in the ACT: Public places in the ACT are named in accordance with the provisions of the Public Place Names Act 1989. This link to the Public Place Names Guidelines (NI20140643) explains some of the processes relating to street names in the ACT.[34] I have found a link to the disallowable instrument (DI2009- 33) and explanatory statement which determined the name Bym Porter Lane: [35] The instrument was notified on the ACT Legislation Register on 26 March 2009 and tabled in the ACT Legislative Assembly for 6 sitting days. Attached is an extract from the official publication of the Works Department social club (Action) recording Porter’s retirement in 1969 and also enclosed an example of the sources used to research Bym Porter’s career: [36] SPECIAL GAZETTE UNDER THE “PUBLIC SERVICE ACT, 1902.” (1929, January 18). [37] Department of Works and Local Government RESIGNATIONS. Government Gazette of the State of New South Wales (Sydney, NSW : 1901 - 2001) Thursday 24 December 1936 [Issue No.211 (SUPPLEMENT)] p 5284 … Mr. Alan James Porter,, Engineering Draftsman [30th December, 1936]. [38] Commonwealth of Australia Gazette (National : 1901 - 1957) Thursday 4 June 1953 [Issue No.35] p 1565 Department of Works. Castlemate (talk) 05:48, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The ACT Government itself says it is looking for notable Australians for commemoration: "ACT Place Names welcomes nominations of names of notable Australians for inclusion in the ACT's nomenclature database to be used to help research names for future suburbs, streets and parks."[39] Castlemate (talk) 06:01, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. Upon reviewing the page/ article as requested, it seems no action can be taken until whomever is principally responsible for it can fix its broken refs. If this is not done in a reasonable time frame, say 14 days it should be deleted not on basis of notability or lack of, but for lack of reliable genuine refs. Robertwhyteus (talk) 12:16, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response. The links do not appear to have been repaired. The fact that this article is included in a list concerning educators is not a problem. Wikipedia editors generally are competent to evaluate articles for deletion regardless of their appearance in various lists and anyway that is not the only way one might happen upon this one. This article replies too much on one single reference which it resembles, ACT place names. The Ryerson Index goes to a search, not a result. The BD&Ms links don’t work, and the Canberra Times article is a tiny fragment. The Newington College Register of Past Students 1863-1998 (Syd, 1999) has no publication details. Bym Porter may be notable but Wikipedia cannot recognise notability without high quality references demonstrating this. The normal suggestion in cases like this would be to advise you to fix the broken references and find others demonstrating notability, such as inclusion in the Australian Dictionary of Biography. The bar is raised when the notability issue is raised, as it is a matter of evidence, not opinion. If the notability case cannot be made to the satisfaction of other editors the page will have to be deleted. This should not be taken as an attack or disrespect of the author/s of the article, it is simply the burden of proof called for when questions arise.Robertwhyteus (talk) 00:00, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response If a bar is raised due to an AfD then I would like to see a link to that curious policy. A person is surely notable or they are not. This person is not listed by the ADB nor are many others who are notable. While I'm a great fan of this notable publication I am well aware that it has many gaps. I'm pleased to hear that Wikipedia editors are generally competent. If that is the case I would like to see this debate competently listed under engineers rather than rather than educators. I accept your good faith and thank you for you for its reciprocity. As you can see the only references are now the ACT Government and the Canberra Times. I am disappointed to find that "an Australian engineer who managed the design and construction of the Australian National Library and the Royal Australian Mint and was principal engineer in charge of the Canberra water supply as well as instrumental in the fluoridation of the national capital's water supply in 1964" is not notable. Wikipedia and Australia is the poorer for that proclamation. Castlemate (talk) 02:37, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Response Personally I agree with you. There’s no reason why a principal engineer of a major Australian city shouldn’t be considered notable. Especially a city which was built more or less as a demonstration of best practice design. The article is more than a stub and it's very well written, not too long and admirably encyclopedic in tone. It’s not controversial and not about a living person. If we could just turn up a couple of references I would not hesitate in voting KEEP. It’s frustrating there aren't refs other the streetnames citing his head of the river win, his first XV position and role, his representative rugby union career, army service, association with Royal Australian Mint, National Library building, fluoridation, ACT rugby union judiciary, Anzac Parade in web searches, in results other than versions of the wikipedia article. However I did find his mention in the Nominal Roll of WWII veterans, so there are records, perhaps not as accessible as they could be http://nominal-rolls.dva.gov.au/veteran?id=290148&c=WW2#R I hardly think Wikipedia is going to be overcrowded because of principal engineers and my leaning would be towards KEEP. Certainly there would seem to be enough discussion and it would be good if some person way above my pay grade (joke) made a decision. PS the bar raised due to an AfD is not policy, it just happens, human psychology. It’s akin to “if all you’ve got is a hammer, all you can see is a nail”. If all you’ve got is an afD, all you can see...
  • Keep: Clearly meets GNG. The nomantor's ad hominem attack against the artile's creator is not only false (none of the articles constitute spam) and is certainly not a basis for deletion, but is indicative that the remainder of the rationale offered is weak.

    • Except it still has no independent source except an obit by his son. Adsfvdf54gbb (talk) 21:53, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment. As the subject's name is Alan James Pawley Porter who was known by his nickname, Bym, and is variously T.P.Porter and T.P.P.Porter further research is taking time. Between his arrival in Canberra in 1936 and his departure for Adelaide in 1948 Porter is mentioned in the Canberra Times, the paper of record for the national capital, no less than 78 times. Theses mentions are not just in lists as indeed even the newspaper thought him sufficiently important enough to discus his departure from Canberra in 1948. Given the attacks on the quality of the ACT Government reference used and reliance on that for biogrphical details, I haven't even bothered to mention all his rugby notability. If this entry is given a stay of execution I will include this, his war career, his involvement in engineers professional bodies and public service appointments. As many of those calling for deletion of public servants in this barbarous mass execution of bios created by me will tell you ... public service isn't sexy. Even less sexy is engineering. Consequently Wikipedia is full of non-notable self promoting reality TV stars. Castlemate (talk) 23:34, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Although written by his son, the source is fine - it's a government body, that both commissioned the piece (an act which itself indicates notability) and exercised editorial oversight. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:19, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The perils of a lack of independent source can be seen when you look at the National Library of Australia website which states that it was designed by Walter Bunning not this person. Other searches indicate the same. When you have a source by a family member or other associates, you get the danger of falsely inflating achievements that were done by other people Adsfvdf54gbb (talk) 20:54, 10 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Searching for Porter, under various versions of his name (including his nickname and the various initialisms mentioned above), brings up very few relevant results. Although he appears to have enjoyed a successful career, there is no indication from the information we do have that the subject meets WP:GNG or made a significant/notable impact in the field of engineering. The fact that a road has been named after someone does not, in itself, demonstrate that the honouree is inherently notable for encyclopaedic purposes. Eloquai (talk) 00:50, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment This is a worldwide Wikipedia, not a specialized project for the advancement of the specialized interests of a Australians. As I said before, having a road named after someone is in no wise a sign of notability. Further, this is past of the spamming of Wikipedia with useless articles on varoius Newington College alumni, a spamming that needs to stop.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:26, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Notability according to some government is not the same as notability according to Wikipedia guidelines.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:27, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I have not been able to find any sources whatsoever apart from the two in the article, one of which is a very minor routine obit in the Canberra Times, and the other of which is a bio written by his son because he had a street named after him. Neither is remotely sufficient for WP:GNG. I've had a look in Trove (which has the Canberra Times fully digitised) and haven't been able to find anything.

Clear failure of WP:EVENT and WP:V, searches turn up absolutely no sourcing. For what it's worth, most of the results on Google seem to have been copied from Wikipedia. - CHAMPION (talk) (contributions) (logs) 02:17, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:NOTSTATSBOOK. This is a hopelessly broad list; "former NASCAR drvier" would...well, include every driver who has ever competed in NASCAR but no longer does. This is thousands of drivers. We don't have List of former MLB players, List of former NFL players, or so on; there is no reason why this is a suitable list. Category:NASCAR drivers is sufficient.
