Sixth chord (disambiguation)[edit]

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

This was never really needed. All of the linked topics are now discussed in the article sixth chord. This page is the result of a bit of a snafu - over two years ago, major 6th chord redirected to sixth chord, but someone reversed that situation and rather than copying the content of the latter directly to the former, they rewrote it to awkwardly place too much emphasis specifically on the major sixth chord. I saw that at the top of major 6th chord was a massive, clunky hatnote with all of the topics listed on this page given in it. I create disambig pages when I see things like that, which was my only intention here, and in the process I made sixth chord a redirect to this page; I was then reverted by BD2412 because as it turns out this buried a perfectly good article at sixth chord that was emptied and clumsily transplanted for no good reason and entirely without a discussion, let alone consensus. I have since restored the status quo as of two years ago, and I have discovered that all of the topics listed & linked here are discussed in detail at the current sixth chord article (with links to full articles where appropriate). (Addendum 08:57, 2 January 2017 (UTC): It helps that I was distracted by the hat note; usually I'd see "major 6th chord" next to "sixth chord" and assume the latter should be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC whose article would include the former, but I was stuck seeing it as the other way around since "major 6th chord" was where the hat note was and I immediately went into "this is the PRIMARYTOPIC by virtue of having such a hat note" mode.)

Harringay (St Ann's Road) tube station[edit]

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

Contested WP:PROD. Concern was: only two sources, neither reliable, notwithstanding which, neither source actually states that a station was seriously considered. There are now five sources, of which none are exactly reliable: one is a blog, one is either a book, paper or journal published by Hornsey Historical Society; and the third new one is a local newspaper, but there is neither the title of the article, the page, or a URL where the item may be viewed. We still have nothing that verifies that a station was definitely going to be built (compare e.g. North End tube station or Bushey Heath tube station) nor that it would have had this name. Redrose64 (talk) 23:53, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Piccadilly Line Extension - The Diamond Anniversary (1992) notes that there was, "a move to build an additional station at Harringay," and details the justifications against it (pages 8-9). The Piccadilly Tube (2007) also notes an early proposal for a station at St Anne's Lane (page 68). It is notable that while we have Category:Unbuilt London Underground stations, most of them appear to come under the 1902-1905 Central line extension which never got close to happening. In contrast, St Anne's was suggested for a line that did eventually get built. The proposal clearly existed at one point, and was serious enough that active justifications were formulated for not going ahead with it. Nick Cooper (talk) 13:20, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:There is a section in Christian Barman's The Man Who Built London Transport: A Biography of Frank Pick where Barman discusses Pick's rejection of a station between Manor House and Turnpike Lane. The rejection was on functional and economic reasons. Barman does not mention a specific location proposed for a station (p. 94):

"At the northern end, where the new tracks were being built, the wider spacing of the new stations was severely criticised by local interests. A particular cause of complaint was the distance of nearly 1½ miles between Manor House and Turnpike Lane. Pick was obstinate in his refusal to put an intermediate station between these two. A railway line with stations spaced half, or even three-quarters of a mile, apart was bound to be inefficient. And moreover this Line was going to be a perfect model of the functional unification of the various forms of transport. At every stopping point between Cockfosters and Manor House existing bus and tram routes converged on the station from different directions. But between Manor House and Turnpike Lane there were no such points of confluence, the railway trains ran parallel to the road services: if a station were to be built on this stretch it would be of no help in connecting rail and road services together.

According to Eitan Karol's Charles Holden: Architect, when Pick commissioned Charles Holden in August 1929 to produce the designs for stations on the Piccadilly line's northern extension, only the ones we have now were on the list (p. 333). This indicates an outright refusal from Pick to even consider a station in this section as a matter of principle and shows that there was no design work carried out for it.

A review of reporting in The Times of the proposals for the Piccadilly tube extension north from Finsbury Park finds a report from 21 October 1929 (pg. 14; Issue 45339) discussing the urgent need for a bill to be submitted to parliament to meet the November deadline on railway bills. This includes a small map labelled "original scheme" showing station locations in Manor House, Turnpike Lane, Wood Green, Bounds Green and New Southgate, but with nothing between the first two. On 5 November, The Times reports the scheme as being an extension to Cockfosters (diverted to the more northerly route via Arnos Grove).

It certainly was not an approved station that was dropped later, which might have warranted an entry in the list of unopened stations. --DavidCane (talk) 23:43, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This seems more suited to inclusion in the Picadilly Line article than as an article.Charles (talk) 14:16, 22 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Can't find anything in reliable sources that actually verifies a station was going to be built with exactly this specific name, although as David says, the proposed extension is covered. In other words, this article is pure original research as it stands and we cannot have it. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 19:48, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If this article is retained I think the station should be added to the article List of former and unopened London Underground stations. I would also note there are comparable articles on proposed stations eg Heathfield Terrace tube station, which is worth considering when discussing its deletion. That said this article seems limited as it stands. Dunarc (talk) 21:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All of the unbuilt stations on that list such as Heathfield Terrace actually had parliamentary approval for construction, although they were, for various reasons, not subsequently built. From the evidence, a station at St Ann's Road never even got to the stage of being considered by the UERL. If we were to include stations that were just requested or considered, we would need to add, literally, dozens of station sites. Many bills were submitted to parliament for construction or extension of tube lines with station locations identified and large numbers of these bills were withdrawn or failed to get approval. For example, the Piccadilly, City and North East London Railway, the Kearney High-Speed Tube, the Edgware Road and Victoria Railway, the New Cross & Waterloo Railway or the 1902 proposal to turn the Central London Railway into a loop line.--DavidCane (talk) 15:02, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reflecting on this I think that what you say is valid. Looking at the other unbuilt/unopened stations which have article all clearly got much further than a vague proposal which all the evidence seems to point to this 'proposed station' being. On that basis delete seems reasonable and entirely appropriate. Dunarc (talk) 16:46, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Merging and redirecting (presumably to the list of unopened stations) seems to me to be clearly superior to an outright deletion of this article. We should be looking actively for wp:ATD alternatives to deletion. Leaving a redirect behind preserves the edit history in case more content becomes available. And the Talk page would preserve a link to this learned AFD discussion, helping any future editor considering re-starting the article. But I am not familiar enough with this to say whether this should simply be merged vs. kept outright. --do ncr am 00:26, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Doncram: The article's creator has something of a history in creating articles for railway stations and lines that never got off the drawing board (in some cases they never got on to the drawing board). At best, these are WP:CRYSTALballing; but some were wishful thinking on their part - if not outright WP:HOAXing. Their MO seems to be to look for mentions of consultations or feasibility studies, and treat them as if they were firm, fully-funded proposals. --Redrose64 (talk) 11:43, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Doncram:As I said above, all of the unopened stations on List of former and unopened London Underground stations were fully approved. There is no value in adding a speculative station to that list. It's a featured list and the sources provided for Harringay (St Ann's Road) tube station would not satisfy an FL review. The most that should be done is to add a piece into the article on the Piccadilly line about the calls from locals for a station between Manor Road and Turnpike Lane and why Frank Pick rejected these. --DavidCane (talk) 12:07, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Vanderbilt Historical Review[edit]

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

Article PRODded with reason "Non-notable new journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Article creation too soon." DePRODded by anonymous IP with reason "(I added a doi. The journal has been referenced by an art gallery in Argentina (http://proa.org/esp/exhibicion-kazimir-malevich-textos.php). Other pages exist for similar journals (Tufts Historical Review, Dartmouth Undergraduate Journal, Stance)". Having a DOI is standard for any journal (like having an ISSN) and has no bearing on notability. Whether proa.org is a reliable source I don't know, but in any case a translation of an article from this journal does hardly contribute to notability. That other pages exist for similar journals is probably true (I haven't looked at the journals mentioned), but either those have sufficient sources or WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS applies. In short, PROD reason still stands, hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 16:48, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I hardly believe selectivity is a requirement for a Wikipedia page. The purpose of history journals at the undergraduate level is to promote the study of research and spread awareness for such historical events and methodologies. Much like the Tufts Historical Review, Critique (journal), and the Stanford Journal of East Asian Affairs, this journal helps to expand opportunities for learning. The Wikipedia page simply stands as a biography of what the journal is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historywriter23 (talk • contribs)

Would this be a consideration?: "Many journals are non-notable by themselves, but are published by notable organizations. While a journal may not be worthy of having its own article, it can be helpful to include some information about the journal in the publisher's article. For instance the Nepali Mathematical Sciences Report is one of the publications of the Nepal Mathematical Society, and while the society is notable own its own, this journal is not. But since the journal is an important part of the society's activity, the article on the society should mention the journal."[3] I think that this journal has significance for the history department at Vanderbilt (http://as.vanderbilt.edu/history/undergraduate/vhr.php). Historywriter23.
Merge and redirect to Vanderbilt University#Student life. As you'd expect with a recently founded undergrad journal, this doesn't independently meet WP:NJOURNAL. But per Historywriter23's comment above, it's worth including a (greatly trimmed down) mention in the university's article. – Joe (talk) 19:28, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, what if I create a department of history page and put it under its own heading? (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornell_University_Department_of_History). I can trim it down as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Historywriter23 (talk • contribs) 19:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I'm not sure that merging is a good idea. AT this point, this periodical has produced a grand total of 2 issues. Suppose it tanks after 4 issues, would we then still think that it would be worth while to devote a section of the article on the school/student life/department to it? Remember: we have no deadline. Some patience may be at its place here. If this still exists after a couple of years, it might either be notable enough for its own article or for a section elsewhere. But at this point, I don't think it is even certain yet that this will survive and merit any mention anywhere... --Randykitty (talk) 22:14, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Historywriter23: The way these discussions work is that we wait a while (typically a week) for a consensus to emerge on what to do with the article, then they are formally closed by an administrator and we act on that decision – so it's best to hold off doing anything major (i.e. merging) until that happens. Having an article on individual university departments is the exception rather than the rule, so if you did want to create that article you would have to ensure there were sufficient sources that discuss the Vanderbilt history department specifically, and are independent of the university. – Joe (talk) 19:10, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There are around 40 novels in the Xanth series and many characters in this family tree have been major characters in the novels. I was not around to save Goblin family of Xanth which should have been kept for the same reason.

Keeping track of the relationships in the Xanth series is easier with family trees. LA (T) @ 19:44, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep More than a "mistake" and something which, as the article makes clear, has had a profound effect of pharmacies in the UK. As the article says, "The case has been used since that time in pharmacy education." This is not "tabloid news" - just look at the sources. My criticism would be that the article is too long, but that is an argument for editing, not deleting. Emeraude (talk) 12:03, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any references for that statement anywhere in the article. I've found this, however: "A national effort to decriminalize dispensing errors was catalyzed by the case. One report said of Elizabeth Lee, "It’s up to us to complete the job and ensure her legacy is as the pharmacist who brought an end to criminal prosecutions for dispensing errors."[26] Attempts to change the law are still ongoing as of 2016." (As an aside, the linked "report" is not signed, contains spelling errors, and appears to me to be written in far too familiar language to be official.) I would read this as saying that this event had no lasting consequences in the past 6-9 years. No law was changed and no other progress has been alleged, sourced or not. And even if there was, it should not be summarised at Elizabeth Lee (pharmacist), but at something in the vein of 2010 UK pharmacy reform (or, more probably, as a sentence or two in Pharmacies in the United Kingdom or the like, since laws, edicts and training materials aren't inherently notable).

Keep WP:BLP1E is not met; it requires all three conditions to be satisfied. WP:BLP1E "If reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event" is not met; a Department of Health Impact Assessment proposing the decriminalization of inadvertent dispensing errors referred to the case [31] and it was referred to in December 2016 following a similar error, again in the context of the call to change to UK law (i.e. not just in relation to the error itself). ^[1] ^[2]. It was also referred to in relation to workplace stress in a University of Manchester research paper in 2013 [5]. WP:BLP1E "If that person otherwise remains, and is likely to remain, a low-profile individual" is not met, as evidenced by the number and breadth of references. WP:BLP1E "If the event is not significant or the individual's role was either not substantial or not well documented" is not met because the event was significant (as demonstrated by the number of references) and the individual's role was substantial and well documented - the event reached the Royal Court of Appeal and catalyzed and/or was referred to by the name of the individual in circa 10 years of subsequent discussions about preventing pharmacists being subject to criminal prosecution for inadvertent dispensing errors (for the significance of this, consider the number of medicines dispensed in the UK each year and the need for pharmacists to be able to openly report dispensing errors in order to learn from them). Coverage is persistent (see references in this comment above) and [4] from 21st March 2016. The user nominating for deletion did not detail what was negatively written or what was an attack. Sources include national newspapers, trade press including a well established journal, University presentations and research papers and a determination from the Royal Court of Appeal.Rok2thedrop 23:12, 24 December 2016 (UTC) — Rok2thedrop (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I still don't think BLP1E has been accounted for here. With respect to the first condition, the sources you provided indeed cover the person, but they cover her only in the context of the court case, therefore meeting this condition of BLP1E. Condition #2 remains likely for a similar reason -- there is almost no information about Elizabeth Lee available beyond the matters of the court case. The only other piece of info I could find about her was her age. Condition #3, I agree that this event is probably notable and likely deserves its own article, but it's not nearly notable enough to warrant an article about Elizabeth Lee. To compare with the example in WP:BLP1E, the article on John Hinckley Jr. has a good 1,500 words of content not concerning the Reagan assassination attempt, and would have no trouble standing on its own two feet if the assassination info were removed. This article, on the other hand, would remain a one-sentence stub. Daß Wölf 00:55, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The first two elements of WP:BLP1E are clearly met. The subject is covered only in the context of the single inadvertent dispensing error. The subject remains, is likely to remain, and apparently wants to remain, a low-profile individual. The third element is likely also met because, standing alone, the underlying event is not significant. As stated in WP:ARTN, "Notability is a property of a subject and not of a Wikipedia article." The potential exists that much of the content could be merged into another article (e.g., Pharmacy#Issues_in_pharmacy) or an article that covers decriminalization of dispensing errors, but the fact that none have been referenced so far (and I could not find any), suggests that such is not a notable subject either.--Rpclod (talk) 15:48, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement.

Delete yes I would agree that it's the very textbook definition of WP:NEO, so far. A Google Books search, tellingly, reveals nothing. It's been discussed on a few blog posts because the Dilbert creator used it to defend Donald Trump and in a way his own perspicacity in supporting Trump, I guess -- and the article is referenced with a couple of non-notable blogs now discussing this concept as a way to assess the true merits of Donald Trump. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 13:56, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We should not be celebrating Donald Trump or any of his supporters. Scott Adams may have helped create the term and get people using it, but this seems like a forced attempt to get pro-Trump propaganda onto Wikipedia and I cannot stand for it.

I don't understand, it seems like the only argument for deleting this is that a couple of motivated individuals don't like the political views of the person who invented the concept, so it should be deleted. Isn't that the definition of a severe bias? This is a term used by a number of different sites describing a fairly original concept, it's far from some one-offed neologism. If a few overly-zealous contributors don't like the political views of the man who invented the concept, that's a personal problem. They shouldn't be projecting their biases onto what is supposed to be an unbiased encyclopedia.148.74.131.25 (talk) 20:23, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Let's look at WP:NEO for a sec. We've got cited usage by many secondary sources, including news media. Right there, boom, we're done, that policy hurdle was just passed. That being said, I think this would do better as a dictionary entry, since the opening paragraph is pretty much all there is, and this article will never be anything but a stub. K_arunamon ^Talk 01:48, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't see how this passes WP:NEO. At least four of the sources are self published (and I'm not sure if The Hip Pocket is RS), and with only one (maybe two) reliable sources using the term, it seems to fall squarely in the category of "little or no usage in reliable sources". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torven (talk • contribs) 04:11, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge into a related article - I think it's worth noting that the term is describing a similar concept to a technology/solution stack, just as an applicable term to a person's skillset. If 'talent stack' is too small for its own page, perhaps merge it with Solution stack. Personally I feel the difference is appreciable enough for it to stand on its own.

Delete - Politics is indeed a poor reason for deletion, and I'm confident such reasoning will be ignored by the closing admin, but politics is also a poor reason to keep. This article falls squarely under WP:Neologism, and the current sourcing is either primary or unreliable blogs. I searched around and couldn't find any commentary, not even brief mentions, from reliable secondary sources. A phrase that's just a few months old isn't ready for prime time. If it has staying power and picks up some actual coverage and analysis, it could be revisited later. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 18:50, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The sources may not ALL be absolutely flawless, but they are adequate for article retention. "Talent stack" is not a neologism, it's already being used enough to have its own article. Also, it appears that some of the people that want this deleted seem to want it deleted because it has to do with Donald Trump.Wikinium (talk) 00:46, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
CNN has also covered this (screenshot). Wikinium (talk) 00:53, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, looking at the seven sources in this version: both the Medium ones don't qualify, as they're essentially self-published. The Danger and Play and Barrie Bramley ones are personal blogs. Based on its about page, The Hip Pocket doesn't look to have any editorial staff. As stated above, the Inc. source is the best one. The Adams blog post is primary, so can't establish notability, unless the suggestion is that he didn't coin the phrase, but he mentioned it previously way back in January. But in my experience it's tough to support a keep with only a single qualifying source. If there were more information on the CNN coverage, that might help. The only thing I could find was this, which is just a passing mention. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 06:53, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The phrase was recently created and appears to be classic neologism. While the phrase may be helpful, it is too soon to know if it will become an accepted and sustained part of lexicon.

Delete per WP:NEO, WP:TOOSOON, via Rpclod, et al. The sources stink, to be politically incorrect. FWIW, I am a fan of Dilbert, and I actually think this term is useful, but it hasn't gained widespread use. In fact, most managers think one's strengths are all that matter (see StrengthsQuest), while the HR department thinks that it takes only one weak link to bring the whole organization down (see Taylorism) -- therefore we're not going to hire you. An encyclopedia is not prescriptive; we are descriptive. Bearian (talk) 13:55, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/Transwiki - WP:N established in the sources, WP:V established (and WP:NEO hurdle cleared) per Inc article, which is a reliable source. However, this probably belongs at Wiktionary, since there's no way this article will ever amount to anything but a definition. Simply merging with Scott Adams wouldn't be appropriate since the term has taken on usage outside his coining of the phrase. Karunamon ^✉ 16:40, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Satine[edit]

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

The subject of the article does not meet the notability guidelines, which require in depth coverage in multiple reliable sources. While the article currently contains a lot of references, they're not actually reliable: most of them link directly to the subject's Youtube page, some to other videos that violate copyright, and the others to pages related to her that mention her in passing.

The article's author, Romeo-00k, also uploaded a portrait of the subject, piping in their username into "Miss Satine" so I suspect they are affiliated with the subject of the article. The sourcing is poor for a biography of a living person and the tone is close to being an advertisement.

The creator of this program kept a collection of reviews here. Most are offline; some wouldn't meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources independent of the subject; the only one I could look up is this German article from computing magazine c't. That is a good source, but it shares with all other references that it's old. Newer sources are extremely scarce, and I do not think the flurry of 2002 publications documented on the program's website (good luck to anybody trying to assess the quality of the offline ones!) suffices to establish notability in the absence of any significant coverage in the fourteen years since. Huon (talk) 18:21, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per our policies and guidelines, notability is not temporary, and there is no requirement that reliable sources be available online.

Delete a non-notable actress.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:17, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia definition of notability does not fit well in your statement as regards this article. This is probably because you're unfamiliar with the Nigerian film industry or didn't do a thorough research on her before voting. The article does not only pass WP:GNG by virtue of the independent significant coverage in reliable sources, it also passes WP:ENT, WP:ACTORBIO and WP:ANYBIO. I will explain how it passes each one of these criteria, it roughly passes WP:ANYBIO by winning an award; passes WP:ENT, by starring in multiple notable films, even though she has starred in more than 10 films and it's difficult getting reliable references on many Nigerian films, her films has been able to make headlines on certain occasions. Her role in Itohan (a film directed by Chico Ejiro and stars many other popular Nollywood actors) was further popularized because of a scene she had with a dog. The film is well documented on the internet, you can view it. She also starred in a biographical film, Anini alongside Bimbo Akintola, This film was based on the life on Lawrence Anini. Lastly, another film Ara Saraphina (which also features many notable Nollywood actors with articles on Wikipedia), and so on. WP:ANYBIO also talks about cult following, which is very evident in her career. She is seen as a pioneer of nudity in Nigerian entertainment scene (alongside Maheeda and Afrocandy).

Comment: @ reddogsix ; What do you imply by the phrase "non-trivial support"? If you mean "significant", then it doesnt apply here. Inasmuch as I am not a fan of the subject, I just deem it necessary to do the right thing especially regarding articles written on Wikipedia for the purpose of providing information to readers from all walks of life. The subject has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and most of these sources range from established national newspapers to magazines. What else is required to confirm her notability?

List of YouTubers[edit]

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

Reasons I stated on the Article's talk page. Basically, we should make a list of popular YT channels, arranged by subscribers, and include who runs them, what the do, and skips cites completely. I would like to know where the conversation is going to take place, here, on this article's talk page, or on the WP:AFD. L3X1 (talk) 17:28, 31 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I completed the nomination. More text is available on the article talk. @L3X1: discussion should be here, please. ansh 666 01:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2017 January 1. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 02:12, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose: In my honest opinion, I see it that this article should be kept, though it needs work. I saw your comment, and I believe you're putting too much thought into the matter. This is an informal list in need of absolutely complete reworking from my perspective. And I disagree, if we base off of sub count, then basically anyone gets an article if they "have a lot of subscribers". At this point, there are 1,000 youtubers with 1,000,000 subscribers, should every single one get an article? CGPGrey, a youtuber with less subscribers is an article and likely on the list because of his 3rd party notability. Sorry for the tangent. It's weak because this list is basically useless and has too many people, List of Popular YouTubers should be there instead.JerrySa1 (talk) 02:56, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- "Popular" would make the list arbitrary and POV. See, e.g., Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#List naming ("Note that the word "famous" is considered an unnecessary "peacock" embellishment and should not be used.") postdlf (talk) 22:49, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For: How bad can it to be to make an article"List of YouTube Channels by subs >200K" and "List of YT Channels by Subs 100-200K"? Not every single channel has to get an article, its being in a Wiki listing instead. Or, based on soemthing I read of Quora, it could be Channels with More than 513k subs". — Preceding unsigned comment added by L3X1 (talk • contribs) 16:02, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For: Also, on my user page, I made a small chart demonstrating what it could be. Perhaps these two ideas could exist at the same time, without any deletion? The policy should still be revised, though IMO. L3X1 (talk) 16:36, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Not sure about the proposal, but I don't think WP:AfD is the place for such a proposal. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:42, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: first of all @L3X1: the deletion discussion takes place here so please move any content related to it (your talk page entry) to here. Then for what I've read on the talk page you're not actually asking it to be deleted but changed instead. So I'm not sure why you created a deletion discussion for it.
I'd agree that the table needs a new column for number of subscribers and that many entries are missing. This is why people like you need to come in and help with such articles by simply adding such missing info or discussing the addition of said on the talk page. For the number of subscribers-column: that's problematic as the numbers change all the time - however I don't see a problem with it if somebody or some bot maintains it (e.g. updating it every 6 months or so). Then for the criteria of notability: that's currently existing WP:RS about the youtuber - if you think it should be changed you need to discuss that on the talk page and potentially some other policy-related page (I don't know where - you might ask about this in your talk page entry). There are good reasons for the current Wikipedia policies, however they're not always the best possible or appropriate for some exceptions etc so don't feel shun off by them and make your case for changes with proper arguments and you may effect a needed change.

--Fixuture (talk) 13:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

response: Here is what I wrote on the List of YouTubers talk page: "This article should be deleted, do to the nature of its listing policy. The policies (from nearly a DECADE ago, before YT became big enough for many big corporations to realise it power in advertising, communication, and creating original content) are flawed. Not counting subs? Really? So, Smarter Every Day has >4Million subscribers, more than 31 states of the Union, yet he isn't on the list. HAVING SUBS IN NOTABLE. That's why YT give out multi-colored play buttons as awards. PDK productions (makers of Nerf Wars) isn't on the list, yet he has 1 Million + subs. McJuggerNuggets has >400K subs, is capable of bringing in more than a million views on select videos in a few days, yet was added yesterday. Violette 1st has >100K subs, is capable of grabbing up to 200K views on some videos, and is unlisted. The criteria is confusing and having to have 3rd party references serves what purpose? We can all go to YT and see how many subs are displayed, unless the creator has turned off public display. It's time the criteria was revisited and revised. Also, why are they alphabetized by FIRST NAME???? Should be by last name, not first. tldr; Having subs should get you on the list. This list needs to be greatly expanded, or the project should be deemed beyond the scope of Wikipedia, and deleted." L3X1 (talk) 16:00, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
response: I would submit there is a difference between a List of YT Channels by Sub, and a list of Notable YTers. Note how many one hit wonders that received millions of views on a video, because they are one-hit, they don’t receive a sizable subscriber boost. Also note, due to the lousy existing policies, any YouTuber who gains enough external cites can be added to the List. Case in point: Allie Knight. 77k subs, will probably hit 100k sometime this year. I was able to prove and defend notability by showing how she ended up in 4 news accounts, was an industry specialist, and had enough subs to not be too big of a nobody. But still, she is a nobody, I bet none of you have heard of her. Because of the above reasons, I do not think combining and expanding the articles is a good idea. The chart on my user page? I made it in 30 minutes with simple YouTube searches. Now suppose I had to go dig up cites which meet WP policy for each and every channel? I’d still being do so to this minute! I mean, C-SPAN, CNN, Ford, they don’t need cites! Everyone (in America at least) knows who they are, what the do. Emma Blackery, she has millions of subs and a is a well known YTer. Having to dig around for a credible website that mentions her name is a waste of time and effort. As for effecting changes on the existing policies that define Notable YouTubers, the only change I think will work is removing every policy for notability except 2: Subscription count, and cites for 1HWs. That is: revolution. That is why I WP:AFD this. Perhaps rather than revolution, we can agree on making a list of YT Channels by sub, and letting the 2 pages coexist. Perhaps in 6 months or so we can come back and determine which one is more popular, more helpful, and better organized, and then WP:AFD the loser.

As the other existing YouTube articles and my User chart show, the top 20 is unhelpful, as that is mostly YouTube collective channels, and Top Musicians Vevo. We have to do at the top 200, which will get down to about ~500mil subs channels. L3X1 (talk) 22:08, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That you want this article deleted is clear due to you having nominated it. You are not supposed to vote, since this is akin to you voting more than once.

Keep as index of articles per WP:LISTPURP and as complement to Category:YouTubers per WP:CLN. If the inclusion criteria needs to be changed, that's a matter for normal editing and discussion. Not liking the current state of an article is not a valid reason for deletion. If the list is too long, then it can be split into sublists, just as the category has subcategories. Again, a matter for normal editing and discussion to resolve; see policy at WP:ATD. What is not in question is that there are enough notable people who verifiably fit the list's concept to merit a standalone list. postdlf (talk) 17:37, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – If the issue is length, the list should simply be split. This could be done alphabetically. If the issue is that the list doesn't add anything to the Youtubers category, then that would be a good complaint. I disagree, though, and believe that there is a unique value to this list. List of most subscribed users on YouTube already exists, and has an entirely different purpose and approach from the list of Youtubers. One recommendation I do want to make is to add a section on what being a "Youtuber" is about, and the kind of work ethic and income the profession deals with. After all, "Youtuber" redirects here. That's not really related to the AfD, though. ~Mable (chat) 17:52, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it seems to have some coverage: [10] from Destructoid and [11] from GamesRadar. But it's tough to find something other than "hey, check out this band that does VG covers". NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:34, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that the extant web coverage is weak—little depth from that alone. But there are several magazine publications in Portuguese from our current article, though they are hosted on the band's website and for one of us to verify. The classic issue is "AfD is not cleanup": whether the offline Portuguese articles will realistically ever make it into the page. As typical for these discussions, the page will continue unsourced and inaccessible, and we will be left with garbage English-language coverage. Can we write a short article with the Portuguese magazine sources and the weak English-language coverage? Possibly. But I would sooner look to a list of video game culture musicians to hold those sources rather than leaving this to rot on its own. czar 19:35, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. While I agree with Czar that it's possible to write an article using the offline sources, these would be difficult to verify and even then it would be a pretty thin article. I like the suggestion of VG culture musicians too, if enough sources could be found. But for these guys, I don't think we have enough. — sparklism ^hey! 11:53, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Italian historical period television films and TV programs are neither indiscriminate, unverifiable, unlimited and/or unmaintainable, and the works listed are relevant to the topic. The list author goes into some detail to explain what eras are depicted. It needs improvement not deletion. It's a valid list to accompany Category:Italian historical films (of the television films variety) -- though unfortunately we don't seem to have Category:Italian historical works to group film, TV as well as the preexisting Italian historical novel category. But it's a step in the right narration. It just needs a rename. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:21, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Using the contents Category:Lists of historical period drama films as a model, maybe List of Italian historical films and television programs? I do see other lists use "set in," but that's not something I would suggest. We never use "movies," we don't title case common nouns, etc. Anything's better than the current title, pretty much. You'll see there's also List of Movies and TV Series Related to the History of England in that category, created by an apparently unrelated editor, that needs a rename too, imo.

Delete. The topic is way too broad and the criterion "related" is far too vague. Two Women is included because it is "based on actual events". That's a real red flag when referring to movies in general. I haven't seen it, but the only thing historical about Rome, Open City appears to be the setting. And since Italy didn't exist as a country until 1861, the earlier entries don't make a lot of sense. Also, delete List of Movies and TV Series Related to the History of England.

Comment Some delete !votes focus on criteria for inclusion/broadness/maintainability. I agree that is an issue, but it applies to lots of lists, probably including everything in Category:Lists of historical period drama films and List of historical novels#Italy. I think we should really be looking at WP:LISTN, which basically says that lists are notable if they pass GNG. Italian historical film is certainly notable, and frequently lists of historical films are presented in popular journalism and in scholarship. For one example, Sorlin, Pierre. Historical films as tools for historians (Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies 18, no. 1 (1988): 2-15) discusses a number of films, not exactly as a list, but almost so, and focuses on Italian examples. Italian historical films are frequently studied as a collection, and work in this area would also lend itself well to a list. For instance, a list of crime films and television shows set in historic Italy could be based in part on Pezzotti, Barbara. Investigating Italy's Past through Historical Crime Fiction, Films, and TV Series: Murder in the Age of Chaos (Springer, 2016), to take a recent book-length example. Smmurphy^(Talk) 19:01, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You haven't addressed the issue about the criteria. What does "related" mean? How far in the past do you have to go to be "historical"? Clarityfiend (talk) 09:51, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what related to means, which is why I asked what other titles should be used. As for criteria, what criteria do you mean? Are you talking about the WP:LISTCRUFT criteria? Smmurphy^(Talk) 03:35, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another, related objection. The Category:Lists of historical period drama films Shawn in Montreal proposed as a model looks a bit dubious too. For one thing, it includes lists of films about the Bible and King Arthur. More seriously, it encompasses a large majority of film lists. Consider what could be excluded: science fiction, some fantasies and a few other genres. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:57, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ATMIA[edit]

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

Locally-based association of which the listed sources are still only PR, announcements, listings and trivial mentions, none of them genuinely amount to substance needed by our notaiblity policies and there's concerns as it is of this only existing as a business listing of which we are not. When an article closely focuses with "ATMIa and members are", "ATMIA and members can", "ATMIA's chief aim is to provide a forum for common issues among members including technical matters such as coordinating the global adoption of operating systems", "ATMIA has advocated", etc, that's PR speak, regardless of whatever or whoever, and that's also explicitly what our policies are against. We never accept articles simply by the sheer fact they are "informative and sourced" because our policies are far important compared to that. As such, this shouldn't have been accepted at all. SwisterTwister talk 17:39, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe TwistedSister has taken it against this entry. He/she has never been supportive and has not allowed to any reasoning nor discussion. The entry moved forward thanks to the help and support of other editors. So that I know of, at least three editors have seen this entry. So not a thing that it was approved without having it fully vetted.

But to make the case deletion

1) About notoriety,

An initial issue with this article was that it relied too much on ATMmarketplace, Business Wire and Finextra. Many of these were indeed PR notes, in no small measure thanks to my naivete as this is the first full article contribution. As mentioned above, thanks to the assistance of other wiki editors, these sources were diversified. These include a statement in the New York Times, on "the leading trade group" (ref 6), discussion within the future of Windows XP and 10 (ref 8), as well as evidence from parliamentary depositions by ATMIA members in the USA, Canada, Australia and Sweden (refs 21 to 26) among others.

In brief, I did took care and went at lengths to show independent notoriety while avoiding PR notes. So I do believe TwistedSister's view is based on an old version of the article rather than on the current and approved version.

2) ATM Industry Association has been referenced in the following wiki articles

cash machine / Automated Teller Machine (twice)

Windows XP (which corroborates footnote 8 in the current ATMIA article page)

KAL Software

MegaLink

Oberthur Cash Protection

So it is not orphan but, in my view, validated by other wiki articles.

Raoul III of Valois[edit]

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

Article about a 11th century noble that appears to fail WP:GNG. There is currently not a consensus that noble status confers notability, and the sources that I could find are about genealogy and heirs or land he acquired by marriage. While I'm aware of recentism and try to avoid it, especially considering how difficult sources from this time period are to find, I believe that a 18th or 19th or 20th century noble with similar sources would likely fail the general notability guideline, and as such we shouldn't make an exception for an 11th century noble. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:15, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am curious if this article fails to meet notability, then should Renaud II, Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis which contains nothing but genealogical information(which was originally sourced by an unreliable website), also be deleted? --Kansas Bear (talk) 00:41, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability aside, we also have WP:NOTGENEALOGY which Renaud II arguably falls under Raoul III very well could as well. I think one of my larger concerns with medieval nobles is that a lot of what we have are mainly genealogy and property records, which I don't think rises to the level of meriting inclusion on its own. Again, understand the recentism concerns, but I'm also not convinced that being 1000 years old and being mentioned in a family tree merits inclusion. TonyBallioni (talk) 01:20, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for answering my question. --Kansas Bear (talk) 03:43, 1 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While I generally agree about the genealogy issue, I think the more important point is that this article suffers from poor research and writing. A little bit of searching turned up some interesting facts including that this fellow was excommunicated because he repudiated his wife and married Anne of Kiev, widow of Henry I of France (and daughter of Yaroslav the Wise), and headed a resistance effort to the King of France. He and his son also warranted an mention in the Cambridge Medieval History, Volume 3. I think that an alternative to deletion would be to label it a stub and give interested readers a chance to fix it. Alternately, replace it with a translation of the associated French Wikipedia article, which is much better. Wolverine74 (talk) 15:15, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the Cambridge source and the remarriage source, and both looked to be passing mentions to me more about the son and his second wife than about him. My concerns here are not just about the genealogy but also WP:GNG. This is an individual who we do have multiple passing mentions to in reliable sources. Do these mentions amount to what is needed to satisfy WP:BIO or GNG? I don't think so. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:31, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well I guess you've made your mind up on this, so let's move on. First, we need to delete Herbert IV, Count of Vermandois, Raoul's son-in-law, since that article clearly doesn't meet the standards. And the article on Raoul's son Simon should also be deleted since he didn't do anything but inherit property and become a monk. As I'm looking at the Counts and Dukes of Valois, Drogo can also be deleted as can Adelaide. So the first 14 counts of Valois can be discounted, saving a lot of space. A great way to look at history.

Keep. I think counts in medieval Europe are certainly notable enough individuals to have articles on. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:40, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - NOTGENEALOGY says, "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic.", which doesn't really apply here as parents and children are generally considered a useful part of a biography and genealogy beyond that is not included. In general, though, counts and earls who controlled a significant amount of land (basically, all counts and earls during feudalism, I think), so a case could be made for notability based on WP:NPOL. But more seriously, counts and earls and people of higher royal and noble ranks are almost always going to satisfy GNG. In this case, note that he was also "Raoul IV of Vexin" and in English he is also called "Ralph". Searching google books for '(ralph OR raoul) (vexin OR valois OR crepy) 1074' (1074 was the year of his death) as here gives a number of additional reliable in-depth sources. I think a creative search for Herbert of Vermandois and most counts and earls (and higher) would find them to be GNG as well. Smmurphy^(Talk) 17:42, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. He is mentioned in The Cambridge Medieval History, Volume 3, p. 111. One of the difficulties in researching an 11th-century figure is the variety of names he may go by. This Raoul may also be called Ralph, Radulf and Rodulf. Likewise, he was count of not only Valois, but also the Véxin, Crépy, Bar-sur-Aube, Vitry and other places.

He is mentioned once in the CMH. The CMH is a general history covering all of Europe and 1000 years. You would not expect most "genealogical placeholders" to get mentioned at all. I am going to expand the article later today. I have several sources to add. The most extensive are David Bates, "Lord Sudeley's ancestors: the family of the counts of Amiens, Valois and the Vexin in France and England during the 11th century", in The Sudeleys – Lords of Toddington (Manorial Record Soc. of Great Britain, 1987), pp. 34–48, and P. Feuchère, "Une tentative manquée de concentration territoriale entre Somme et Seine: la principauté d'Amiens-Valois au XI^e siècle", in Le Moyen Âge, 40 (1954), pp. 1–37. Also, note that the sources are not in agreement on the numbering of the counts of Valois. The count in question, who died in 1074, is more often called Ralph IV. Srnec (talk) 21:31, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Srnec, If the sources can be added to expand, I'm fine withdrawing the AfD after it is done. The sources I saw up until this point did not convince me it met GNG (including Cambridge), but it looks like you have multiple pages of information on him in several books. That meets GNG if it is correct, and I'd be happy to withdraw because of that if K.e.coffman changes his redirect !vote. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:40, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CMH is an extremely passing mention, and does not indicate if the subject has done anything significant to warrant a stand-alone article. Notability is not inherited from a notable spouse (Anne of Kiev) or a better known offspring (Simon de Crépy, who is covered in a lot more detail in CMH). I'd be happy to re-evaluate my ivote if the article improves beyond "Raoul immediately begins pillaging Joigny's county" which seems like a fairly routine activity for a count of that time period.

Yes, same, my offer to withdraw was based on seeing what could be added to the article from the RS. Sorry if not clear. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:13, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have expanded the article. And I haven't even touched the Feuchère source yet. My point about CMH was that a passing mention in such a work is probably the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Part of the problem is a lack of a standard way of referring to somebody like Ralph. You could also call him Radulf or Rodulf. Or Raoul, as we currently do, although I think we should move the page to Ralph IV of Valois. The numbering varies between III and IV and he may be called a count of Valois, Crépy, Amiens or Montdidier, since he was all of those (and more). Srnec (talk) 03:55, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jessica Pray[edit]

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

Pray's only present claim to notability is being Miss Iowa. This is not a title that confers default notability, and there is not enough coverage to pass the GNG. the coverage is all concentrated in eastern Iowa. Other coverage of her is largely from publications within her college community. Her role as a musician has not yet reached the level to make her notable for that. She may go on at some point in the future to become notable as a singer, but she has not done so yet. John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:45, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added nothing to this article. There are plenty of reinforcing sources available. The facts are already before him but he chose to ignore; Pray won Miss Iowa on June 11, 2011. She had a title reign as that title holder. She then competed for and was a top ten finisher in Miss America 2012 culminating on January 14, 2012.

Keep A check of WP:BEFORE D1 shows that the community has received less than the information from a minimum search expected in a deletion nomination. For example, the first link in Google News is from New Haven, Connecticut; and in the sixth snippet, the NYTimes states, "The songs, expressively conveyed by the soprano Jessica Pray..." If notability was an issue here, in the 14 minutes the nominator spent in preparing the deletion nomination, a policy-compliant merge to Miss Iowa could have created a mini-bio there. The fact is that given a choice, members of Wikiproject Beauty Pageants have preferred to create standalone articles rather than group mini-bios on state-level pageants. So notability is a minor point, that picks between a standalone article and a merged mini-bio. But AfD is not cleanup, and one of the bottom lines in a volunteer organization is "who is willing to do the work". Unscintillating (talk) 19:30, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- A one sentance mention in an article about other people is not enough to create notability. This [22] is the New York Times article mentioned. It is 8 paragraphs long. It mentions the 5 people whose work it is actually focusing on at the start of paragraph 2. Jessica Pray is mentioned at the start of Paragraph 4. Although they are actually mentioning Pray performing some of the works of Charles Ives. This is a trivial not a substantial mention. The first link in Google News comes from New Haven Connecticut because that is where Pray now lives. It highlights Pray performing a solo with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra when they performed Handel's Messiah. I do not think this is enough to establish a musicians notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:04, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the 2 Keep votes themselves state that mere participation is notability but yet we've established at nearly all of the AfDs that sole participating is not notability and this article itself only hangs by that specific information hence not in fact notable, regardless of what someone else thinks is "Notable for participation". SwisterTwister talk 00:54, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that you agree that WP:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion and WP:Deletion policy#CONTENT are widely accepted policies that all editors should normally follow. In that context, how do you explain giving priority to WP:DEL8 over the alternatives to deletion that WP:PRESERVE our content contributions? Or is this a "secret" IAR !vote? Unscintillating (talk) 02:36, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The Miss Iowa crown alone doesn't merit an individual wikipedia entry so it is irrelevant; this is an argument if the subject meets notability standards per WP:MUSICAN. In that regards it fails. The cited sources are of the school/hometown "local-makes-good" variety and can hardly be considered significant evidence of notability in the world of music. Independent searches not cited in this article find a few trivial mentions that convey existence. Existence does not equal notability. ShelbyMarion (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since notability is a minor point for this topic; even with all you've said, you haven't explained why the topic should be deleted. Why are you !voting to delete? Unscintillating (talk) 21:18, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

delete. Hard to tell if there’s a notable topic in there, with no refs, links, or concrete examples. Searching with a variety of search terms turns up nothing.

Delete Searches turn up nothing and as it is written now it should not be included in the encyclopedia. I'm aware AfD is not cleanup, but when we can't ascertain if it is a notable term, it should be deleted. Would be open to keeping if there are Chinese-language sources that show it is notable.

Merge Romance novel as effectively a generic romance novel trope. Grognard Extraordinaire Chess (talk) Ping when replying 17:50, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing to merge though. I mean Romance novel is a properly written, properly sourced article. I doubt adding any of this badly written and unsourced content would improve it or be welcomed. Taiwanese literature might be more appropriate target, except for the same issues with this content. I looked at Taiwanese literature to see if mentioned "President fiction" when trying to find references to it, but there’s nothing on that or any Taiwan-specific romance genre.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 18:01, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
