Per WP:GNG. Non-substanial notability for a music producer. Being know for a "gifted ear" isn't sufficient enough for a WP page, and neither is inheriting notability from working with Hit-Boy. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 22:50, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Easily. Per WP:NMUSIC#8, which says a person may be notable if the subject "has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy". HazeBanga is Grammy nominated for the 2017 Album of the Year category[1][2][3]; that's quite significant; and in fact is already a winner of the ASCAP awards.[4] Pinging the nominator to check if they'll consider withdrawing the nomination. Thanks. Lourdes 09:19, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentThe "easily" used above is an attempt to make you glance over this. Ask yourself, "who is HazeBanga?" If the answer is "I have no idea" than he/she does not deserve a wp page. "Production" on a hit grammy single is WP:INHERIT at best, and doesn't deserve its own page. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 01:45, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Comatmebro. ""Who is HazeBanga?" If the answer is "I have no idea" than he/she does not deserve a wp page." What was that?! ""Production" on a hit grammy single is WP:INHERIT at best" :D Comatbero. This is the desk for discussing deletion of articles. Guidelines for notability have developed over years of discussion and your not liking WP:NMUSIC cannot wish away the existence of a guideline, for your preference of an WP:INHERIT essay, which is also absolutely misdirected. People don't get Grammy nominations for Album of the Year or win ASCAP awards based on whether you or I know them – and that's absolutely not WP:INHERITED (I really can't get what's your play here). Your not knowing the individual is no reason to nominate the same for Afd. I suggest in good faith that you spruce up your knowledge of our notability guidelines because your response on NMUSIC is not something I've seen in the past on Afds. Please feel free to ask me for any assistance or clarification. Lourdes 02:48, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I seem to have missed the point where wikipedia became a database of all buslines in the world. Why should we be a mirror of all the websites of bus companies in the world? and your quoted guideline doesn't say every such list is suitable. You haven't provided any clear argument why this particular list is suitable.Tvx1 01:47, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please AGF. If the author of the draft provides independent sources demonstrating notability it might be accepted. The user mentioned two other articles of questionable quality/suitability and after realising they were right I instigated the deletion processes.Tvx1 01:23, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am simply pointing out that this is where Afds seemed to originate. As for the rest, I have just issued the nominator a 1st level warning against restoring the speedy delete tag, when I removed it with explanation that I felt it required an Afd -- just as this one does. The restoration of the tag is disruptive. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:35, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The history and present state of buses in a major European capital city is unquestionably a notable topic. If this were just a list of present day route numbers and stopping patterns you might have a case, but it is much more than this. The well-sourced Czech article demonsitrates that there is scope for expansion too (not that this is a requirement). Thryduulf (talk) 16:16, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"The history and present state of buses in a major European capital city is unquestionably a notable topic." Nope, wrong. Just because a city is notable, it doesn't mean a bus system in it is as well. Notability isn't inherited but needs to independently proven. And something being notable enough for the another wiki doesn't mean it automatically is for this one as well.Tvx1 19:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pure opinion. My reason is very valid. Notability isn't inherited or assumed. It has to be demonstrated.Tvx1 19:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly a heavily-noticeable and company-involved paid advertisement or someone emulating the signs quite close to it, which are both mirrorable, because what's here is sourcing of clear paid press, listings, announcements and similar, and searches found nothing better, which is unsurprising since these local publications only focus with what's given to them by payment, especially with heavy PR-emphasis; there's nothing here satisfying our policies and the history shows the unsurprising consistency of SPA accounts and IPs.

This appears to be a hoax, while the website indeed does exist, the articles on it are almost certainly fake reports (I came here while searching Google News, which stupidly has indexed this fake site (see [5]) ).

  • Keep It's a real newspaper and should have an article, but the publication seems to engage in some shady practices. Instead of deleting the article, editors should improve it to report controversies and legal troubles in which it has been involved. Link #7 above, for an article with "Fake News" in the headline, is about "santamonicanews.org," NOT the Santa Monica Observer, which is the subject of the article we're discussing. DonFB (talk) 11:16, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Another source [14] indicating the newspaper's authenticity. DonFB (talk) 11:20, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment DonFB Link #7 above is about both. If you read far enough, the second part is about the SMO and it questions if the reporters listed in its articles are made up. The fact that this is a real newspaper does not automatically make it notable. A weekly paper with a circulation of 1200 is tiny. All such minor publications need to meet GNG if they don't meet WP:NMEDIA, which this one does NOT. The few mentions questioning its reliability are something, but I'm leaning towards not-notable. MB 00:21, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well-noted, and my bad for a hasty scan and not reading thoroughly. As noted here, it's been the subject of negative coverage about its work, but it's not a hoax site. I don't know that its circulation or publication frequency are necessarily factors in its notability (the Village Voice is a weekly) but I'd like to know the source for the 1200 figure. DonFB (talk) 01:51, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The 1200 figure comes from the source you provided (link #10). Circulation/frequency help toward WP:NMEDIA Newspapers#4. A small paper is not going to be "frequently cited by other reliable sources". I don't see any chance of it meeting any of the other criteria (award winning, historic, reliable, or significant). MB 02:42, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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

This article should be deleted as it fails WP:NOTGALLERY because it is a collection of images and sound files. It fails WP:NOTDIR as it is a simple listing of items (in this case bird sounds).

  • Delete for the following reasons - firstly, WP:NOTGALLERY as mentioned in the nomination. Secondly, it's a list with no stated inclusion criteria - does the page creator intend to spend their entire life adding images and recorded birdsong for every single bird species that exists? Thirdly, as the nominator states, the information in this list should be added instead to the articles for each relevant species of bird. Exemplo347 (talk) 22:13, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and per Exemplo347; this is the kind of page that should exist only on Commons, to organize media files found there. I don't see this as capable of being developed into more than that. postdlf (talk) 22:18, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Nice stuff in there, but unless this is planned to contain all bird recordings available (which would break any list), the reader should expect to find a sample in the species article. There is no reason to go looking for an incomplete list.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:04, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (hesitantly) - Because its fun to play a bunch of them at the same time. But in all seriousness, if these aren't yet incorporated into the corresponding articles, it should stay, at least as a reference for future incorporation. Yes, a delete is completely reasonable, as per the previous policies, however, it serves as a valuable resource. Andrew. Z. Colvin • Talk 04:41, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete User Azcolvin429 is right actually. It's nice to hear the bird voices. It's almost like a collection I'd love to have. It's unfortunate that all the work editors have done on this article will go down the drain. But there's nothing much that can be done. Wikipedia is not a repository site, as said above. Lourdes 10:09, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe this qualifies as notable per WP:NSPORTS. Doesn't appear to be a championship or other top-level event. There is routine yearly coverage in the college papers of the two participating colleges, but no other mentions of the race in sources independent of the participants. Other appearances of "Olympic axe" online appear to refer to sports in danger of being cut from the Olympics, as in "sport X to face Olympic axe?", rather than this race. No book mentions that I can see in Google Books. Google News and Google News archive also return no results aside from "sport X to face Olympic axe" type headlines. ♠PMC(talk) 19:58, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I could find coverage in college publications only in a relatively fast google search.

  • Redirect or partial merge in accordance with Light2021's merge recommendation last October. Glancing through the press, I think there may be a chance this topic is notable [16], [17], [18], but the content verges more on a CEO/staff focus than the company itself, and so I still hesitate to just say keep. The merge or redirect wipes out the poorly written buzz-word content, but leaves the location open to guide readers or allow expansion in the future from more neutral or experienced parties.

  • What started as one of the major dance labels in the world in 2013 has become a minor dance label that Hardwell uses to promote talent. I think deletion is the best option. Stillnix (talk) 08:47, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Promoting talent is what record labels do, so that's not a reason to delete. When I do a Google news search, I see plenty of items about this label, but I can't tell which if any are editorially controlled independent sources. Wikipedia:Notability (music) doesn't cover labels, which are either companies and brands, so I'm not sure charting is the criteria. Note that the article says that its "parent" is Cloud 9 Music, but there is no article about Cloud 9. Many of the articles about artists listed on the page don't mention Revealed Recordings. Stillnix, why do you say that the label used to be major?—Anne Delong (talk) 03:14, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Delong, Promoting talent is indeed what labels do, what i meant is that revealed nowadays releases lots of music of artist that are yet not very widely known (with the exception of Hardwell of course). Your argument that the notability of a record label correlates with its brand value, is valid. However, it's hard for me to determine Revealed's brand value. What I see on google news is, that the label is mostly mentioned on (independent) EDM-related sites. This is fine, but doesn't prove to me that the brand is strong enough for a wikipedia page. If someone else can prove this, it's end of discussion of course. For me, the notability of a music label also strongly correlates with the released music. In 2016, out of 68 releases, only 5 tracks have charted in the beatport top 10 (selling platform for EDM tracks)[1] and only 1 has charted on national charts (Hardwell - Thinking About You). In 2013, 21 out of 34 releases reached the top 10 in the beatport top 100 and 5 entered a national chart. Revealed dropped from being the label with the second most points in the beatport top 100 in 2014 [2] to #9 in 2016. This indicates that the notability of the label has decreased significally in comparison with 2013 and 2014. Furthermore, major artists on the label Dyro (#27 DJmag top 100 2014) and Dannic (#30 DJmag top 100 2014) have started their own label independent from Revealed (Wolv and Fonk respectively), making Hardwell the only DJ in the DJmag top 100 that is signed to the label. Finally, Revealed is indeed a sublabel of Cloud 9 (Dutch music label). In conclusion, I highly doubt it that Revealed Recordings is relevent enough for a wikipedia page. Stillnix (talk) 12:10, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Stillnix, it seems that if the article is to be kept, it will be because it passes WP:GNG. This depends on multiple reliable independent sources writing about the subject. If you indicate which ones these are, it will help others (like me) to judge and !vote to keep or delete. About declining prominence: it's not only a company or brand's current activities that determine whether there is an article. Plenty of well-known organizations are no longer even in existence, but we don't delete the articles about them because they later declined. If you don't believe that the 2013 releases and chart performance warrant an article, is that because they were mainly related to Hardwell himself? If so, maybe the information about Revealed should be summarized in Hartwell's article and the Reveled article redirected there. Otherwise, I'm not sure why you point are both advocating deletion and pointing out notable activities from a few years ago.—Anne Delong (talk) 17:08, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Anne Delong, To begin with, it's just a point of view that the article is not relevant enough (anymore). You bring up a lot of good reasons why it still is and who am I to not adjust my opinion if they make sense. Above all, I am no expert in wikipedia deletion policies. I am 100% sure that the label was relevant in 2013, not only because of Hardwell, but also because of other artists and tracks that were popular. However, I think that the article in its current form doesn't reflect this in any way.Stillnix (talk) 16:11, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I think what Anne Delong was trying to point out is that notability is not temporary. If this was once one of the major dance labels in the world, then its current meager state is irrelevant. If it can be demonstrated through reliable sources that it was once one of the major dance labels, then I would vote to keep the article as on a topic of significant cultural relevance, however I'm not familiar with the genre, and like others don't feel qualified to judge the journalistic integrity of the several sources that might be used. If I were forced to make a choice, I'm inclined to !vote keep per SoWhy below, but hope those with expertise far exceeding my own (wouldn't take much) will participate here. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 14:35, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References

  • Delete Unable to find any significant, independent coverage in WP:RS, and doesn't appear to qualify as a company under any SNG. Only significant mentions are in articles about founder's music being released on his label. Appears to be a vanity label more than anything else. New artist development efforts, to whatever extent they exist, are not generating significant coverage. Only reference I found was to a couple of remix contests of Hardwell's music. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 22:04, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep While most sources seem to be limited to mention new albums being released under this label (and there are more than 1,800+ GNews-hits to choose from), there are some sources that actually mention the label itself, such as [19] (mentions 5 year anniversary and its great support for NL artists as well as label-specific events at Miami Music Week). This combined with the ton of sources that mention a number of other artists besides Hardwell is sufficient for inclusion. Btw, per WP:ATD deletion is not a valid option anyway, since the content can be merged / the article redirected to Hardwell's entry. Regards SoWhy 18:27, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moving to AfD after the article creator attempted to remove the PROD tag. Concerns were raised at WP:BLPN [20] that the page was a largely promotional orphaned article that had been around for over a year without improvement and no indication that it might meet our inclusion standards. Upon reviewing the article and the artists discography, I do not think he passes WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. He is credited on albums from major labels, but always as a part of a group and never independently. There is no independent media coverage of him to satisfy GNG and combined with the article's promotional tone, it should be deleted. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:41, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete massive - I followed WP:BEFORE and found nothing to support this biography. There are no independent reporting sources, in violation of WP:PRIMARY - it's a vanity promotional article. Govindaharihari (talk) 19:04, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is something to be said for the fact that the WP:MUSICBIO requirements favor musicians living in communities that receive a large amount of media coverage and are accessed by commercial music institutions. Cuba, where David Bradish has spent much of his career, is not such a place, and even its clearly genuine leading musicians receive little authenticated coverage. For example, the David Bradish page refers to Pucho Lopez. A google search of Pucho Lopez returns this hit in Spanish: https://www.cibercuba.com/noticias/2012/09/15/muere-pucho-lopez-uno-de-los-arreglistas-mas-famosos-de-cuba, indicated that Mr. Lopez is real and quite well known. Yet he has no Wikipedia page. If there were a Pucho Lopez page, it would potentially link to a David Bradish page, making that page no longer an orphan. I agree that the vast majority of this page does not satisfy GNG, however I would encourage the creator to attempt to modify it and edit down the content in a way that might meet those standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.0.236.248 (talk) 20:01, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - the problem is not that it's an orphan, but that the subject doesn't meet notability guidelines, despite what appears to be a long and varied career. I'm sure there's some place for this type of biography, but I don't think it's here. The is certainly an argument that Pucho López might be notable enough for an article, but that's not really the issue here. Shritwod (talk) 20:09, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe it would be best if the creator made pages for the bands Fred's Laundry and Sad Motion and artists who had played with David Bradish, such as Pucho Lopez, which would meet notability guidelines, and David Bradish could be mentioned in those articles. This might be the most appropriate way to publish this content on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.0.236.248 (talk) 20:01, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • David has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published: Aftonbladet is a Swedish tabloid published in Stockholm, Sweden. It is one of the larger daily newspapers in the Nordic countries.Expressen is one of two nationwide evening tabloid newspapers in Sweden, the other being Aftonbladet. Both on Wikipedia. Both newspapers have mentioned David separately many times on different occasions as David Bradish himself or as Mr Bradish when he worked as an independent artist - musician and also several mentions as a member of a band (main leader / singer of a band / bands). Articles don't report performance dates, release information or track listings. All of them underline David's achievements and engagement into social actions and projects (together with the Red Cross, national radio, public schools in Sweden and more). Some of the archives show private and officially signed letters e.g. from editors-in-chief or presidents of mentioned above newspapers and institutions / organizations. There is also a mention about David who was called publicly as the first King of Karaoke in a history of Sweden, when the country hadn't known yet what Karaoke is, back to 80s and 90s. If that's too little we can start gathering more press and media archives when David comes back from Cuba.
He was invited there another year in a row as a representative from Sweden to take part in the biggest and well known Havana Jazz Festival. I truly recommend to read a part concerning his engagement in Cuba.
I also disagree with the suggestion that the article has a promotional tone. If so, we can delete all links to all his personal platforms. Wikipedia article on David is nothing more than a life story told by a man who remembers 50s and the change of the world. He witnessed all social, political and economical changes through all these years. His struggle with American and Swedish system concerning private life and music. It is not a self promotion nor product placement and for sure not a paid material. I decided to write about David after seeing him on a stage and listen to many stories told by his friends, band members and so on. I am a journalist and writer and it is easy to check me up on Linkedin without any problem - you are more than welcome.
I disagree with the mark that "He is credited on albums from major labels, but always as a part of a group and never independently".
David released 3 albums on a major record labels (CBS, Sir Lancelot) both as a single artist under the name Mr. Bradish (there is a story on this in the article) and together with bands he established or was invited to perform with.
Has became one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city. As the only musician in Sweden he brought closer Karaoke to the swedish audience. He released first ever rap single. Sweden was too rural for rap music back to 70s and 80s. ”The Bureaucratic Boogie" was released in 1984 and was the Swedish first ever rap single. Mentioned by Aftonbladet press. He made a huge impact on rising awareness among Swedish students and society, while teaming up with the Red Cross, Save the children, Swedish Tv stations (Youtube still keeps this video) and Swedish radio, creating two huge projects - Dancers Who care and People Who Care - as a response to the Catastrophe in Ethiopia.
Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio in Sweden and Sky Channel in London (long before MTV had appeared).
On his website you can find all voice overs he did for big companies such as Carlsberg, MTV, Panasonic and more. Recordings these companies have sent are uploaded to his website. That's why I made this website as a main source of information.
I would like to receive clear and simple answers what I should submit to keep this article. If you still think that it has promotional tone, please show me which parts and we can calm the tone a bit if needed. Please take a note that this musician is 72 and some evidence such as private contracts with Labels etc. might be provided after his death.
As I mentioned earlier, everything requires time. Especially when the artist is alive, still active and hard to reach due to his age and travels. I started creating this article, linking up names believing that someone will start continuing my work. Some names I bolded out in red to encourage others to extend it and create other profiles of great artists that worked their fingers off through their whole lives without being addicted to flash lights and cameras. Real, talented artist not those puppets created by agencies. Agata Mayer (talk) 20:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)Agata Mayer[reply]

  • Delete as still nothing satisfying our standards and policies as there's no automatic inherited notability and what's here is simply too trivial to establish his own notability, the current source is only an announcement and searches found mirrors of this, so since there's no significant sourcing, there's not the substance needed in articles. There being only announcements so far, including what he plans in his career, suggests it's far too soon. This also violates our pillar policy WP:NOT as the listed source is a clear paid press, since it focuses with only his own republished words and thus also violating WP:RS, since sourcing must be independent of the subject.

Tagged for notability for six months now; no noticeable improvements. A single layoff event carries half of the article's sourcing [21]. The other half pretty much covers startup funding and their bare existence. So: what makes this a notable Internet startup in any way and why should it be part of the encyclopedia?

An article on this subject was deleted by AfD in April 2012. The comments in that AfD look applicable to this new instance too. However, the 3 minute feature from 2015 on CBS News probably makes this worthy of a new discussion.

This seems to me to fail WP:GNG. Leaving aside the fact that the article "forgot" to mention that White is known solely for terrible evangelical Christian films, the only source that is not one of his own websites is an interview. There is no independent commentary establishing notability or anything other than credulous promotion. Guy (Help!) 22:16, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have added citations from IMDB and Fox News to the article to improve its compliance with GNG.

To remove the article would significantly undermine Wikipedia's coverage of this industry. davemackey (talk) 23:46, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The nominator exemplifies total failure of neautral point of view by expressing hateful attacks on Fox News. Such hateful rhetoric needs to be given no place in a balanced encyclopedia, and Thus needs to disqualify the unjustified attacks it is used to support.

Was looking at this article to tag it for clean up, but looking at the sources and google results, I'm not sure this person meets WP:BASIC, as there just isn't that much out there for reliable secondary sources about why this person is notable.

  • KEEP. Notable BC journalist as per WP:JOURNALIST multiple citing by reporters, multiple authoring articles, has won significant attention sometimes, For example: he filed 1,913 about 40% of all provincial Freedom of Information requests by media 2009-2014 seanholman ref so is called FOI Warrior that may have cost taxpayers $3.85 million tyee and often raised criticism of government.Mackin in Georgia Straight headline
I do Agree that current content of biography needs improvement. Currently sounds too much like a resume and needs more third-party reliable sources. Canuckle (talk) 20:32, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A person gets a Wikipedia article by being the subject of media coverage written by other people, not by being the author of media coverage about other subjects. The sources can't be blogs, so "seanholman ref" does nothing to assist; The Georgia Straight is a local alt-weekly and The Tyee is a webmedia venture, so while they would be valid for supplementary confirmation of facts after the article had already been Vancouver Sunned and Provinced and Globe and Mailed and CBCed over WP:GNG, they're not references that count toward the basic question of whether GNG has been passed in the first place. And as for the references present in the article, two are primary sources and one is another blog — CKNW is the only legitimate source at all, but (a) as a local radio station it doesn't bring GNG by itself for the same reason that The Georgia Straight and The Tyee can't bring GNG by themselves, and (b) it's a dead link, which means we can't even verify what it said. So no, you're not showing any of the kind of sourcing that it takes. Bearcat (talk) 19:56, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. While there's enough here in theory that he would probably pass WP:JOURNALIST if the article were sourced properly, there's nothing here that entitles him to an exemption from having to be sourced over WP:GNG. If he had won a Governor General's Award or the RBC Taylor Prize or the Hilary Weston Award for his book, for example, then one proper source for that fact would make it a must-keep — but if you're going for "notable because he exists", then the article has to be supported by a lot more reliable source coverage about him than has been shown here.

  • Comment. The A1/A3 tagging here was off: with {{Infobox musical artist}} looking like this {{Infobox musical artist | name = Seneed | background = solo_singer | birth_name = Seneed(Deenes) Acharya | birth_date = 09 December 1999 | birth_place = [[Dharan]], [[Nepal]], | occupation = [[Playback singer]] | years_active = 2015-present | website = https://facebook.com/seneed | instruments = vocals, guitar }} there was enough info to identify the page as a BLP. The sock removed the speedy, and nom then added BLPPROD. But BLPPROD only applies when the article contains no sources in any form. Adam9007 correctly removed the BLPPROD but then added a PROD saying "No evidence of notability." Nom then endorsed the PROD with {{proposed deletion endorsed|1=article is a [[WP:BLPPROD|biography of a living person with no sources]]}} using Twinkle, but it should just have been the bare {{proposed deletion endorsed}}. Three minutes later, the endorsed PROD gets overwritten with this nomination. The article is typical autobio stuff probably written in good faith by a young person who knows Wikipedia is free to edit for everyone, but knows nothing about our inclusion criteria.

@Sam I'll note that the A1/A3 tagging was when the article did not have anything more than a mostly blank infobox. It was removed after the user added info that made the A1/A3 tagging irrelevant, which I do not object to, I agree with you that A7 would also have been appropriate and I should have added it. The BLP prod of mine was I admit a mistake, as I did not see the facebook reference in the infobox until afterwards, and I decided to bring it here once I did notice the mistake. Apologies for the confusion, and I'll write a note explaining on the creator's talk page. InsertCleverPhraseHere 02:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about an event that (according to the article) is not certain to occur. It also fails other tests in the policy about what Wikipedia is not, for example, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. There are plenty of other articles about Protests against Donald Trump. I don't yet see the need for a standalone article for a march that both is not certain to occur, and has not yet met the notability criteria for an event.

Clear advertising regardless of the supposed "Criticism" section because it's all still what they themselves would advertise and the history shows come-and-go accounts all suggesting it was clear advertising, nothing genuinely better has been found and there's nothing suggesting this isn't anything else but a business listing, hence violating our policies alone. Also, it's clear advertising when an article cares to go in such specifics as "profiling the company executives and their plans". Also, it's troubling when the only controversy that can be offered is mere "licensing concerns and acting against licensing regulations" (nearly any company will have such concerns, especially when involved in the specific field for it) and such, since that's an easy attempt to mirror a "controversy" section yet still counter it with the other existing PR, and elusive PR is one of the main things our policies never accept, because it's a blatant misuse. This is the article now and that's exactly what's stayed in the same since these accounts here started involving themselves, including with logged-out IPs, a presumption of making it "heavily involved by several". For example, before anyone asks, I'll examine the current sources:

  • 1-14 are all clear business announcements and this is unsurprising considering the company is the sole author here
  • (Now, from the newly added sources): 1 is a clear business announcement about new plans, including name-drops
  • 2 is an unconvincing "consumers are concerned"
  • 3 is another one of the "company legal concerns"
  • 4 is involving another company, and comparing it, complete with clear company quotes
  • 5 is the same
  • 6 is another company announcement with clear quotes, including its beginning headline statements
  • 7 is again about licensing legalities
  • 8 is a clear announcement, complete with republishings of the company's plans for its own business

If this is the best we offer for improvements, there's not only still nothing for our basic standards as they themselves cite business announcements, interviews, quotes, company finances and plans as all unacceptable, and worse, when we involve WP:What Wikipedia is not.

  • Comment and analysis - It's important to note that half of the sources listed above are the same ones analyzed above so, with the concerns listed in they being only published and republished business announcements, they're not valid for our policies. The few different ones here are still clear similar mirrors, such as the particular ones that still only focus with the same events, such as licensing or employee concerns or legalities, none of which bestow a company notability, or else any company's mere legal cases would inherit them an article. One, in particular, the TheGuardian, is simply a simple news story part of their business column, and that's natural given any newspaper will publish any other relevant stories, that's not an automatic notability factor at all. Given, this finishes what ever else sourcing was offered, it still emphasizes the fact there exists no convincing substance. In fact, WP:CORPDEPTH itself states sources must be independent, significant, substantial and not simply based from primary sources, which these still are, so not only are they not valid for a simple guideline, they're certainly no match for our policy WP:NOT, which explicitly allows deletion of any company webhosting. Not only was WP:NOT the first policy explicitly targeted for such company webhosting, WP:CORPDEPTH itself states that such articles can in fact be negotiated for deletion instead, if it best serves Wikipedia, which in this case, the clear company-motivated advertising seals it. Next, WP:NOT itself states articles shall not be copyedited if such is outweighed by excessive advertising, which in this case, is, because of the unconfessed COI, but then also because the sources are only announcements and mere news stories, none of it amounted to substance, hence such copyediting would only amount to shoehorning advertising. For example, "The company enjoys pleasing its customers" cannot be changed into anything else because the message is still clear advertising as is the case here, given the advertising far outweighed anything "controversial" their employees added here. The fact the article was still unconvincing after a few improvements is enough for deletion alone. SwisterTwister talk 06:15, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Which policy of ours automatically sets GNG as a confirmed guarantee of notability? Our policies currently state GNG is never such a compromise against our pillar policies. SwisterTwister talk 19:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment and analysis - Examining the sources above are still clear business announcements, complete with the DailyNews which is focusing with their pricing for customers automatically unacceptable in our policies given the sheer non-independence, and our policies set these examples clearly as they always have. The other source above that link is a clear business announcements focusing with their company activities, so the fact this is still all existing shows there's nothing but the "motivating their own attention" plans. Next, the Entrepreneur is a clear "Story of a new business" and it's complete with company life stories and quotes, something as simple as WP:CORPDEPTH is clear about not accepting as sourcing.
  • For example take this from the CNN link suggested above as "significant": It has about 150,000 drivers (or captains as Careem likes to call them) and expects the latest investment will allow it to create one million jobs by 2018....Sheikha says the company is not profitable yet but hopes to be in the next two years.... (This itself violates WP:CORPDEPTH because such trivial business information has no place in this encyclopedia, as it is, only about 20% of the news article ever actually mentions the company, and what I quoted here is nearly over half of it)
  • The DailyNewsEgypt especially still violates WP:CORPDEPTH because it focuses with pricing, something else WP:NOT explicitly states that violates our policies. With this, all of the sources explicitly focus with routine announcements and notices, something both WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:NOT confirm as unacceptable
  • Similar violates are then in the VoiceofAmerica which states Uber and Careem require their drivers to use cars that are less than 3 years old. Uber works with financing companies in Saudi Arabia to help its drivers buy cars....The use of the app for booking a car also allows a passenger to select a particular driver, and some believe that the use of smartphone technology brings a better class of driver....difference in price between a journey with Uber or Careem....employ more than the 65,000 nationals....Careem, however, is developing a subsidized rides program for low-income working Saudi women....both Careem and Uber say most drivers work part time, keeping government jobs.... None of this satisfies our policies because it's clear announcements and mentions
  • Now take the DailyNews Careem offers, like advance and pre-scheduled rides, weekly pickups, and better cash/card integration....Careem offers, like advance and pre-scheduled rides, weekly pickups, and better cash/card integration to Careem....Careem offers, like advance and pre-scheduled rides, weekly pickups, and better cash/card integration.... The article itself not only has this as supposed 'information', it then says it came from a local tech blog (thus not satisfying WP:CORPDEPTH either)
  • Now take DAWN, which says Careem cites the total cost of the trip, which you can either book immediately (base rate Rs150) or schedule for a later time (base rate Rs250) in the day....The app instantly sends a profile and photograph of the driver — called the 'Captain' — who is on his way to pick you up....Details include the model, colour and license plate of the car so you can keep an eye out for him. Customers are also given an option to track the ride, presumably in an effort to make users feel secure.... charging Rs220 for a one-way ride between 11am and 4pm during the weekdays and Rs320 after 4pm. However, the promotion applies to a 12km ride and those who want to travel further pay Rs25/km....got an email detailing the distance and bill, explaining what the original bill would have been without this deal (hold for company photo)....the service was offering a promo code and flat rate of Rs200 for a ride to the festival. The car, a latest Toyota Corolla model....Careem was founded in 2012 in Dubai, with the simple mission to provide convenient, reliable and comfortable transport services to customers. It has since grown to cover 26 cities - currently operational....It expects to - claims its dedicated efforts to.... (As it is, the article's bottom states the company can be asked to review anything, thus overall still violating WP:CORPDEPTH, because the publication or author could've been enticed for such specifics, since no one else knows the company finances better than the company itself)

Our encyclopedia is specifically targeted for genuine subjects with genuine news, not something the company influenced and paid for itself since only their own websites is suitable for that. Another common sign showing this is the blatant fact all of the news above are still, as earlier, in clear times the company's financials quarters we're starting, see "January 2016, "March 2016" and then "January 2016" and we've established that as a clear attempt to still start their own attention given it's not naturally occurring, and this itself violates WP:CORPDEPTH. Simply because the Entrepreneur Middle East News Chief listed his name is not automatically making it acceptable as WP:CORPDEPTH itself still makes it clear there's never such compromising, and examining this exact source carefully shows the label "Source: Careem" (especially conveniently located next to each large paragraph), sealing the case it's still not independent.

What are your solutions for improving then? Because the history shows improvements were made but advertising still stayed, that alone suggests there's no hopes for our policies.

GNG is indeed a guideline, not policy. Guidelines are by their very nature intended to interpreted flexibly. See the headnote for WP:N "best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." The actual text of that page is if read in detail incoherent and contradictory "notable or worthy of notice" does not actually require any subtantial sources, just that the subject would be worth someone writing a source somewhere--but over the years we have agreed not to interpret it in that extremely loose manner. . The language is obsolete for the usual reason at WP:no matter how bad it is, we would never agree just how to change it. And also the GNG says "presumed to be notable:" any presumption can be defeated by showing that any other consideration makes it not notable.
What's more, the next sentence on the guideline says "and it is not excluded under the What Wikipedia is not policy." NOT, unlike the GNG, is policy, and NOT DIRECTORY and NOT INDISCRIMINATE and NOT PROMOTION are the 3 key policies in most of the debates here. (as for this particular article, I haven't yet decided. DGG ( talk ) 04:45, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We have what ... 5 million articles here ? .... so we're not gonna be able to spot promotional content in them all, GNG may well be a guideline however its something that is heavily followed here –Davey2010Talk 08:30, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My point is that when quoting content about guideline pages using quotation marks, such as stating "...and it states it in the first words "GNG is a suggestive guideline, not policy"" as above, this is misleading, because this phrase is not on the page at all. Content within quotation marks when citing a page should be verbatim. North America1000 15:52, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Meets WP:CORPDEPTH.

  • That makes it kind of difficult because now even if the award can give notability, it's an award that was given to one of its founders. The frustrating thing here is that there is some mention of the book here and there, but I'm running into situations like this one where the coverage that could be used has been put out by people who know the author, making it a primary source since they know her and have an interest in making sure people know about and read/listen to the book. I'm leaning towards just redirecting this to the author's page. The only independent RS I'm finding only mention the work in passing. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 22:39, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – @Layla, the remover: Note that per WP:GNG, "Sources do not have to be available online or written in English". North America1000 09:56, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course sources in German are just as good as ones in English, and giving that as a reason for deletion is absurd. However, a check of a sample of the sources, both in the current version of the article and in the October 2010 version linked by the IP editor, suggest that they are all either dead links or sources which mention Hossein Sabet, but do not give substantial coverage. For example, the New York Times article is not a "profile" of October 2010: it is an article about the island of Kish; it includes a little coverage of a hotel owned by Hossein Sabet, and in the course of doing so mentions him several times, but it is not substantially about him, which calling it a "profile" might suggest. Since I have not checked all of the references, I am not committing myself to either "keep" or "delete", but on the basis of the sample of references which I have looked at, it looks unlikely that there is sufficient evidence of notability. I hope to come back when I have time to check more thoroughly. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 10:07, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The SK comment has no policy-backed basis and nothing else to suggest there's a genuine speedy need. This article has clear signs of WP:NOT violations because it's only business-focused, including such specifics as business plans. As it is, the comments about the sourcing above themselves show no one has been able to find suitable sourcing hence nothing to suggest an accepted article, and in this, it violates our non-negotiable policies, these exact which maintain Wikipedia itself.

Somewhat promotional article not based on reliable secondary sources. A Google News search for coverage of Gilman is complicated by the numerous false positives due to articles written by Gilman herself; the best I found was this piece of local news (it originally appeared "in the New York edition" of the NYT), plus this book review that provides quotes, but scant details about either Gilman or her work.

It is emphatically not true that "anyone can pay and ask for" a wedding announcement in the New York Times.In days of yore, these announcements were restricted to the social register. In our slightly more democratic age, any couple can pitch the Times in what is now a highly selective process. The rich, famous, and well-connected are still selected, but so are up-and-comers form non-notable families (20-somethings with Rhodes scholarships or appellate court clerkships), and some people with particularly interesting backstories are also selected.

  • Delete. This is named as a secondary school, which is usually a high school. However, the article states it includes "lower school and middle school." I could find zero independent sources to indicate that this school exists. This is odd for a school that is claimed to have a thousand students. There also don't seem to be any notable former students. Jack N. Stock (talk) 02:15, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Jacknstock, in India, secondary school ranks lower to a high school (which is referred to as "higher secondary school"). Secondary school is usually from grade 7-10 and high school (or higher secondary) for grade 11 and 12. Nepal follows the same as far as I know, so it isn't actually a high school. Secondary school is an equivalent of a middle school.  — Yash talk stalk 03:58, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as a secondary school per longstanding precedent and consensus. Not sure where the claims that this is not a "high school" come from. Of course it is. Any school that educates at secondary level (generally, up to 16, which is the school-leaving age in many countries) is a secondary school. The definition of "high school" claimed above is purely an American one. We have always considered any school that educates up to 16 to meet the criteria. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:28, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Necrothesp, where I studied, secondary school was an equivalent of middle school - an intermediate between primary and higher secondary school (also known as high school). Although the defination of "high school" varies from region to region. But education in Nepal states that "Grades 11 and 12 are considered as higher secondary level" - the same as it was where I studied and I saw a similar pattern.

  • Keep. First of all, subject is a member of a notable band, and has a solo release, thus he does not fall clearly into a case of deletion pursuant to WP:MUSICOUTCOMES, so if no sources were available to merit a standalone article, a possible alternative to deletion - part of our deletion policy - would be to boldly WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT per WP:ATD-R as a categorized {{R from member}}. Uncontroversial deletion via ProD was out of the question, at least. Nominator says that "no independent third party reviews [are present]", but that is not correct. We have
  1. Bylined article by notable Bob Boilen published by notable NPR: Boilen, Bob (August 18, 2016). "On A Break From San Fermin, Allen Tate Sings His Own Song". npr.org. NPR.
  2. and we have a long, bylined article in Paste: Zimmerman, Lee (October 28, 2016). "A Satisfying Sleepwalk: Allen Tate on Life Within and Without San Fermin". Paste. pastemagazine.com.
and both were present at the time of nomination.
WP:BEFORE asks us to be sure to perform as the minimum search expected, a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search. Searching for "Allen Tate" sleepwalker brings up multiple hits, e.g.
  1. Bylined article in Village Voice: Schuh, Becca (12 January 2017). "San Fermin's Allen Tate on Solitude and His Solo Debut 'Sleepwalker'". Village Voice. Retrieved 29 January 2017.
  2. Bylined article in USA Today: Scott, Nate (24 October 2016). "Album Stream: Allen Tate (of San Fermin) gives us his debut solo LP, 'Sleepwalker' - For The Win". For The Win.
Sorry, but WP:VAGUEWAVE is not a valid argument for deletion, especially since there's little suggesting that the sources were vetted. The sources provided and the further existence of suitable sources are what we use to determine if notability is met, and WP:GNG/WP:BASIC is met here. . — Sam Sailor 16:10, 30 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This has been nominated before. I don't know what the standards were for games then, but this has very, very poor coverage, none of which is really in-depth anyway; the "deepest" thing is a few paragraphs of review on IGN. So, delete for lack of notability; no reliable sources with in-depth discussion. Drmies (talk) 02:44, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While I loved reading the review from IGN, and the fact that the game appears to be about as relevant as a bad smelling fart, and about as well liked, it does have significant third party sources referencing the game, which would appear to make it meet the GNG.

Non notable lawyer. Most of the references are primary references or blogs.

  • Improve the page - Deleting is not a solution. His works have been consistently covered by leading newspapers including The Hindu , the most reliable and prestigious news agency of India. This 23 year old guy had successfully fought a legal battle against the government board wherein Rights of 5 Million examinees, who take the exams conducted by board every year, were at stake. Calling him a 'run of the mill activist lawyer' is not justified. Considering the poor state of affairs of Judiciary and executive in India things like this are almost impossible. He had also got the Right to Information Rules framed by the the mighty Chief Justice amended for the sake of people falling below poverty line. The editors should have atleast basic knowledge about things in India before terming this guy not notable. More references need to be added by editing the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rahul Kumar Si (talkcontribs) 05:56, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article previously WP:PRODed in June 2014 (note that the PROD was endorsed by a second editor, before being WP:DEPRODed later). Not notable former child actress: fails WP:NACTOR (if we're generous Step by Step and Undercover Angel gets her to "two notable roles", but not "multiple notable roles"). Also, clear WP:GNG fail: only single barest possible passing mentions in Variety, LA Times and EW, so no "significant" coverage of her.

Per WP:NMUSIC, and specifically the part where it says that "members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases." This person is not independently notable and the page should be replaced with a redirect to Mindless Self Indulgence. Fyddlestix (talk) 18:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage seems universally very short. I think the main primary source is the "Maratha Chronicles", which I don't know anything about, but is referenced in the discussions I see about Hambirrao and his death. However, the battle is described as bloody and being a part of a large invasion and the leaders (Hambirrao for the Maratha's and Sarja Khan for the Mughal's) were major military leaders, so the battle was almost certainly a large affair involving thousands of fighters. While the case for GNG is not very strong, the case for an event with a significant lasting effect is, given the role Hambirrao's death played in the future of Sambhaji's rule.

  • Comment: @Soman: I do know that AfD isn't the place to request a clean-up, and I wasn't doing so. The initial creator created the article with little context. I was unsure if the battle was even real. If it wasn't, a clean-up would serve no purpose, therefore the nomination. Also, the lack of content wasn't the primary reason for the nomination. The discussion can be closed as keep if you're confident the article can be improved and/or is properly referenced now. RoCo(talk) 23:04, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable person. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 22:22, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

--This article has been well referenced, notable citations and meets the requirements of Wikipedia. The entry is of a prominent internet entrepreneur and IMHO, I feel when so many entrepreneurs are listed on Wikipedia, we need more from India too.--
Besides the debate of non-notable person is irrelevant as celebrities are now not just abt Sports and Entertainment but in all spheres of life.
I would like to close this debate. it's been well settled in the past. Akumar124 (talk)
- I disagree with what Sportsfan 1234 has said. Though Faisal Farooqui is a notable person, this article is not well referenced, and has been written in a very partisan manner. Some citations are dead links and MouthShut.com links cannot be counted as verifiable sources.
- And Its not about India vs the World, the articles should be of encyclopedic quality, this article fails the test for it — Preceding unsigned comment added by Akumar124 (talkcontribs) 17:17, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As far as deletion request for this page is concerned; it doesn't hold any substance. Faisal Farooqui is one of the pioneers of the startup culture in India. There have been many entrepreneurs who have been inspired by him. With India witnessing the growth of the digital age people like Faisal hold importance.
All the points are well referenced.
I think the deletion request for this page should be removed. divineturtle (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Divineturtle (talkcontribs) 13:18, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A promotional article that is attempting to masquerade as a biography, this article really should be deleted. The sources provided are very unreliable and my own search has found nothing better. I'd suggest that someone starts this article from scratch, using the Article Creation wizard, and then submits it for a review. Also, what's with the crazy sockpuppet action in this AfD?

Semi-promotional article on non-notable person. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sammy Porter--the version that was deleted was infinitely superior to this version in tone, content, and references. This is a different version and thus does not qualify for WP:G4, nor is it promotional enough for WP:G11 (if you disagree, go for it, with my blessing), and since it makes some sort of valid claim of importance I don't think WP:A7 applies. So here we are--delete for lack of notability per GNG and et cetera. Drmies (talk) 18:04, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: It is challenging to find English-language refs for this show, but with a few minutes of WP:BEFORE, I have found four three not very good sources and one pretty good one. The show's Facebook page has 4,525 followers, for what it's worth. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:50, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then if there's no references, then perhaps the article shouldn't be created. It's not necessary to create an article for every topic. Alex|The|Whovian? 03:57, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't follow your logic. There are references. Since there are English-language references, it seems likely that there are Urdu-language references that I am unable to find. I would rather give this article some time to develop with the help of any Pakistani Urdu-speaking editors we have here on en.WP. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:01, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Then if we should give time for the article to develop, it should be in the draft space, not the main space. Alex|The|Whovian? 04:04, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
