The result was keep. There is no consensus to delete the article. There is significant coverage from third-party sources and the attack has been repeatedly referenced by important figures long after the fact--establishing notability. Several commentators here have pointed out that a redirect is clumsy. Consensus as I read it is to keep the article. Malinaccier (talk) 21:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Another WP:NOTNEWS incident that received a few days of coverage and faded away with no indications of societal impact. Fails WP:GEOSCOPE and falls under WP:ROUTINE media attention as well. Please do not confuse coverage with the 2017 Hurghada attack or passing mentions of this unnotable incident in reports about the 2017 attack as "continued coverage". I would also support a merge to a list like...I don't know this. Gregory has supplied a better redirect option: Terrorism in Egypt.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:57, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • PS - If anyone wants to claim this has WP:DIVERSE coverage -- please actually read the part where it says sources shouldn't just mirror each other. I also recommend WP:PRIMARYNEWS which does not consider news reports as secondary sources since they do not have in-depth analysis of the event. I have covered all the bases here; editors I urge you all to do the same. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 23:33, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Slick, Note that "mirror" does not apply to reported stories, such as those the 2017 stories in CNN, the NYTimes, that have the byline of a journalist; these are reported stories. "mirror" applies to wire service stories that are picked up by multiple newspapers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:00, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Tag for sourcing And Note that this attack did come back into the new cycle at the time of the 2017 Hurghada attack. It may make sense to tag for better sourcing, particularly for sourcing in German, Swedish and Arabic. In fact, it is my habit when I come upon a brief but plausible article that I lack the time, expertise, or inclination to improve, to tag REIMPROVE, for NOTABILITY, and/or for other specific problems. Also, given the growing problem with Terrorism in Egypt, this attack is part of an important picture that we lose some of by deleting an article that could be improved. I suggest that rushing articles with plausible claims to NOTABILITY to deletion - rather than tagging them for improvement, or, you know, making a good faith effort to improve them - is bad for the project. I have a high regard for WP:PRESERVE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:37, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oi, I knew you would falsely claim it is "back in the news cycle" because of the latest, completely unrelated attack. I appreciate how you are insinuating I do not have the expertise to improve a "plausible article". Only problem is this isn't a "plausible article" and I made sure of that. I checked the sourcing available, asked the opinion of another editor, reviewed the souring again, and read the related policies before making this decision.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:15, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And, just to make it clear, do you actually consider AfDing a news-type article that has been in mainspace for over a year as "rushing"? Honestly?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:19, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Er... I had seen that this attack was in the papers again recently, because I stumbled upon the 2017 Hurghada attack while scanning the news; stories about the 2017 attack referenced this attack. I took material I found while building a basic article on the 2017 Hurghada attack and used it to make a very small improvement to Tourism in Egypt, an ADVERT badly in need of editing. I far prefer to spend my limited editing time on that sort of useful contribution to the project. Somewhere along the way I saw Terrorism in Egypt, (which is a potential redirect target.) My goal here is WP:PRESERVE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:50, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Terrorism_in_Egypt#Red_Sea_resort_attacks; the para already present in the suggested target sufficiently covers the subject. It's insufficiently notable for a stand-alone, hence the redirect suggestion. K.e.coffman (talk) 01:24, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or redirect, there is certainly enough coverage to make it notable, and it is one of the 78 attacks listed by Trump as having not had coverage. If Trump is right, that would make it notable, if he is wrong then it is Wiki-notable! All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 20:17, 26 July 2017 (UTC).[reply]
  • Well that is a non sequitur. If Trump is right then there is a lack of coverage; if he is wrong, you need sources beyond a regular news cycle to show otherwise. I've also seen this list used as a part of several failed rationales because, as you describe it, it is a list of 78 attacks briefly mentioning this one incident.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 21:05, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Contrary to assertions made by Nom, this terrorist attack on a beach resort has now had 3 rounds of international coverage 1.) when it occurred, 2.) when Donald Trump asserted that it had been neglected by the news media, and 3.) when the same resort was hit by the 2017 Hurghada attack.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:44, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whoa, that is a total misrepresentation of the sources. Here is what the sources actually are: 1) a brief news cycle 2) A Trump list that passively mentions the attack 3) A completely separate attack that occurred a year, receiving coverage which briefly mentions the existence of the earlier attack. No in-depth coverage and no post-analysis. I'm all for preserving notable information but I'm against deceiving editors by falsely claiming there has been continued coverage.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 00:28, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Here is Al Jazeera's mention of the 2016 attack in the 2017 attack article "A similar attack took place in Hurghada in January 2016 when two attackers armed with a gun, a knife and a suicide belt landed on the beach of a hotel, wounding two foreign tourists, according to security sources." [2].E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:20, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whoa, a whole sentence stating the existence of the 2016 attack happening in the same location? Try reading WP:INDEPTH, particularly this: "The general guideline is that coverage must be significant and not in passing". That article is focused on the 2017 incident. You know what a passing mention is and why it does not count toward significant coverage; I shouldn't have to explain this to you.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:38, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note, of course, that notability under WP:NCRIME, " "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded", has already been established by coverage at the time of the attack that meets WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:INDEPTH, and WP:DIVERSE. This little sub-discussion is about whether WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE, and WP:LASTING have also been met. But Note that all 5 of these indici of notability be met, let alone that each of them be met to the satisfaction of any individual editor or group of editors.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:57, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • This article should be deleted because it has no WP:lasting impact and no significant coverage except contemporary news reports. The Donald Trump mention does not count: as many news articles have emphasized, the list was totally arbitrary and wrong. The events on the list either already had significant coverage (which makes their inclusion in the list nonsensical), or some items on the list were so obscure (some involved no injuries or deaths) that nobody covered them.

    However irritating these kinds of articles are, they keep getting "kept" or "no consensus", and I don't see any real harm in them existing, so I don't bother !voting anymore. Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 10:21, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sentence handed down in December 2016, I have now expanded article to include verdict, including the life sentence in abstentia given to the Egyptian-born ISIS operative who recruited and incited the 2 attackers. Slick, do you want to reconsider this Nomination?E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:40, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • You do realize that every single crime that occurs in a country with at least a marginal court system will have a trial, right? The fact that news agencies are simply doing their job mentioning the outcome is not significant, it's routine.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:19, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. This is more than a "crime". It's a terrorist attack. What I think, editor E.M.Gregory is pointing out here is that he's trying to improve the article. What is the difference between the church bombing news articles and these articles on terrorist knife attacks? Why delete this one but not those? the eloquent peasant (talk) 18:57, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep until we have a suitable better article to redirect it to (see talk page) Redirect to Terrorism in Egypt temporarily ... will work with TGS to to create a better page to redirect it to, (for example an article like Terrorism Directed at Egyptian Tourism Industry - Tourists and Monuments) those !@%$#%@ would blow up the pyramids. Imagine being an Egyptian and having to worry each day that your country's tourism will nosedive because some !@%$#%@ is hell-bent on destroying your nation? Anyway, for now Redirect to Terrorism in Egypt is all we got. Please see talk page. (Previous comment: is a slippery slope Firstly, why is 'this article irritating'? Again, I say Keep because Redirect to Terrorism in Egypt would lead to a slippery slope (<--that's a funny phrase) of deleting other similar articles that I would never want to see merged. Exhibit A: this Palm Sunday Church Bombing, at a church in Egypt. I would never want to see this article deleted and it's just like the 2017 Attack in Hurghada. What's the difference? The public outcry? The reactions? So I don't know much about the details you guys are all presenting (even though my English comprehension is very good).. um.. I guess what I'm trying to say is that. Terrorism in Egypt, an ongoing problem since Sadat was murdered, Muslim Brotherhood came into power, then was removed from power, Sinai killings are happening almost daily, other countries have fallen into civil war because of of it-- sorry.. Well. Would we ever delete the other church bombing article, the Botsoseya Church bombing article? Again I don't understand too much about wiki guidelines, rules, policies, etc. I do notice that more people spent time working on the church bombing articles than on the tourist beach attacks, maybe the article could be named "Hurgada attacks" cause another one just happened two weeks ago - http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/14/middleeast/egypt-hurghada-beach-attack/index.html but should articles that address individual instances of terrorism be kept or deleted? Each instance happens once and is talked about once (Trump talking about it, to me, doesn't constitute a second news cycle). The bigger question is how big does an event have to be to deserve it's own article? It's repercussions? I don't know. KEEP (one of my very first votes on Wikipedia) the eloquent peasant (talk) 16:58, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also this does have lasting societal impact - on Egyptian society, and Tourism in Egypt and tourists who had considered going to Egypt. http://af.reuters.com/article/africaTech/idAFKBN1AC16J-OZATP the eloquent peasant (talk) 17:23, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • LevelC this is truly one of the better votes I have seen in awhile, even from editors who come to these discussions regularly. I can assure you the Sunday Church bombing would never be considered for deletion, nor anything similar. All of the essential information from this 2016 incident would be merged to terrorism in Egypt so nothing important is actually being lost. Wouldn't you agree Wikipedia is not a news agency and should focus on notability? By the way, the source you provided is about the 2017 incident.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:19, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • In fact, the eloquent peasant did read the 2017 Reuters source he provided. 1/5 of this source is about the 2016 attack. It reads: "The incident was the first significant attack on foreign visitors since a similar assault on the same resort more than a year ago, and came as Egypt struggles to revive a tourism industry hurt by security threats and years of political upheaval."E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:44, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oi, WP:BLUDGEON, bludgeon, bludgeon. But thank you for literally asserting the fact it was referring to the mainly to the 2017 incident. That brief paragraph does not connect the struggles to revive tourism directly to the 2016 attack at all; it simply mentions that another attack in the same location occurred a year ago.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 18:55, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@TheGracefulSlick: This news article from The Independent does connect the 2016 Knife Attack to the "struggles to revive tourism". Regards, the eloquent peasant (talk) 02:54, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
the eloquent peasant a brief mention in an article does not constitute as significant post-analysis nor does it weigh how much this incident affected tourism. It merely notes it was tragic but tragedy does not equal notability on Wikipedia. Notice how the writer called the plane crash "high-profile"? That is the kind of article that deserves a standalone page. That incident is covered significantly for its impact -- not just bundled like in the Independent article you found; this 2016 attack has not been. Exactly why it needs to be redirected to terror in Egypt. Unfortunately, it appears XavierItzm's inaccurate and policy-less vote swayed you away from your previous, more thoughtful, decision.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 03:08, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please forgive my stupidity but what does Oi, bludgeon, bludgeon mean (because you're both doing it)? There are a lot of news articles that talk about how terrorism affects tourism in Egypt. So whatever, the problem is - it's that Wikipedia is not a newspaper. Ok. I agree with that. But how do we decide an Event has societal impact... We'd need some time to see // and data analysis to see how this event affected Tourism in Egypt? Keep do not redirect. Have a nice day everyone. Good-bye. I'm hungry. It's supa time. (note to self- so that's what it's like 'participating in a discussion!) the eloquent peasant (talk) 19:03, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@TheGracefulSlick: -- The graceful slick, the eloquent peasant -?? Did you notice the similarities? hm? Thanks for the compliment, before. I think there's no right or wrong answer here. I'm pondering this "events that have a demonstrable long-term impact on a significant region of the world or a significant widespread societal group are presumed to be notable enough for an article". Maybe it wasn't this knife attack that had (or will have) a demonstrable long-term effect on Egyptian Tourism. Maybe it was the revolution. 90 million people + 1 million more every six months- that's a big group of people. But that 1 event? Wikipedia is not a newspaper! I worked at a newspaper. Oh. No wonder I don't get involved in discussions. It's difficult. the eloquent peasant (talk) 19:51, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unchanged (still "Redirect") even in light of HEYMAN. For example, the "Impact" section consists of one sentence:
  • "Due to this and other attacks, 2016 was a "tough year" for the tourism industry in Egypt.[14]"
This is already covered within the larger article Terrorism_in_Egypt#Red_Sea_resort_attacks. Insufficient lasting societal impact as a stand-alone article. K.e.coffman (talk) 00:33, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep . Guys, we have WP:RS (already included on the entry) citing this attack as one of the reasons why tourists in Egypt went from 15 million to 5 million. In a major country which largely depends on tourism. If people are going to consider events such as this as insignificant... well, then maybe about 1/2 of the Wikipedia should be deleted because it's hard to understand what events could possibly be more significant than events such as this. Not to mention that this was an ISIS attack by a (now convicted) operative of the Islamic State, Ahmad Abdel Salam Mansour. Again, if individual ISIS attacks were to all of the sudden be considered moot and not worthy of Wikipedia, then there is a very long list of other ISIS knife attacks to be deleted! It seems to me deleting this one only would be a mark of bias. XavierItzm (talk) 18:47, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ridiculous puffery: Guys, we have WP:RS (already included on the entry) citing this attack as one of the reasons why tourists in Egypt went from 15 million to 5 million. The quoted source actually says: Before the 2011 uprising, nearly 15 million tourists visited Egypt a year. In 2016, the number totalled just 5.3 million, according to chairman of Egypt's Tourism Authority, Hicham al-Demairi.

The sentence in the article is blatant WP:OR as well: the Independent article does not say that 2016 was a "tough year" because of this attack. Indeed, the news article says: Although the country has been troubled, most of the popular tourist spots have remained largely undisturbed and are not listed as off-limits by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). Indeed, the same newspaper actually published an article (linked in the source listed) in August 2016 by their travel correspondent, actually recommending Hurghada.

Please do not puff up the importance of the terrorist attack. If the attack was important, one can defend it at AfD without making up stuff. Kingsindian ♝ ♚ 02:09, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The "Independent" article says " In January 2016 a knife attack at the Bella Vista hotel in Hurghada injured three foreign visitors. Just this Easter, two bombs went off on Palm Sunday, killing 45 Coptic Christians. Incidents like these are both tragic on an individual and community level, and devastating on a national one,..." Egypt, which is a country that depends on tourism saw tourism nosedive during the revolution. Once the country's government began to stabilize and tourism began picking up, terrorists began targeting tourism sites. (and it didn't stop and it continues and I think it's very important. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/06/11/world/middleeast/10egyptattacks_listy.htmlthe eloquent peasant (talk) 02:16, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that this AFD is part of a recent series of terrorism-related AFDs in which Nom attempts to change the usual outcome of articles about terrorist attacks. For at least several years, terrorist attacks have been judged notable underWP:NCRIME, when they meet WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:INDEPTH, and WP:DIVERSE, and if borught to AFD a year or so later, kept if there has been WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE or WP:LASTING. Here, on her talk page, GSlick, persuades a fellow editor that this is the usual outcome [3]. Obviously, Slick and I have differ. But editors coming to this page should know that this is part of a campaign to shift the usual outcome in a category of topics.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:46, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • False premise Editors arguing that merging this article to Terrorism in Egypt or to a list are basing their argument on a false premise, an unrealistic assertion that the information will thereby be WP:PRESERVED. There is no guarantee that merged information will continue to be kept in an article, rather, it can be changed or removed at any time. It is common for lists and articles to be tightened by removing mention of relevant but non-bluelinked incidents as a list or topic grows. redirecting is not a certain means to PRESERVE useful information.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:19, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • E.M. Gregory if you are going to continue to WP:BLUDGEON numerous AfDs, I will report you to ANI. Seriously, this is ridiculous and it disrupts any attempt of having a fruitful discussion. A "campaign" to shift the usual outcome? If the usual outcome neglects policy like you do, than I'd happily be a part of that change.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 22:25, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Level C:. You may be unaware that it is verboten to return and change a comment on a talk page without marking the material as new. (i refer to yuredit above " Imagine being an Egyptian and having to worry each day that your country's tourism will nosedive because some !@%$#%@ is hell-bent on destroying your nation? Anyway, for now Redirect to Terrorism in Egypt is all we got. Please see talk page. (Previous comment: is a slippery slope)"[4]. You may want to review the rules on this. But to respond, what you say is true, tourism has fallen in Paris and in Israel after terrorist attacks. It also falls after other types of crime waves, epidemics, changes of government, and, well, for lots of reasons. It is not an argument for redirecting an article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:26, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I know (sigh). I always do that and I know I'm not supposed to. I've been doing it for years on internet sites. I won't do it anymore. Peace the eloquent peasant (talk) 16:31, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - covered in numerous reliable sources, including TV coverage by CNN. I know it's a chicken and egg argument, but every post-2010 attack in Terrorism in Egypt has its own article. And there's too much detail to add everything - attack, arrest, trial - to that article without it eventually becoming too cumbersome. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 20:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a musician and film director, which makes no actual claim of notability that would pass our inclusion standards for either musicians or film directors -- as written, this just states that he exists and sources the fact only to IMDb, another IMDb-like directory of films and discogs.com. None of these are reliable or notability-conferring sources, but there's no evidence of reliable source coverage about him in media being shown at all. In reality, I would ordinarily have speedied this — it's that bad — but this is the third recreation after it's already been speedied twice before, so escalating it to AFD was necessary and I think so's a dose of WP:SALT.

Well, it's not identical in form to any of those, but then again they're not identical in form to each other either.

WP:BLP of a musician, whose only stated claim of notability is having a hit on iTunes and Spotify. This does not constitute an WP:NMUSIC pass in and of itself -- a song has to hit the Billboard charts to be a "hit" for the purposes of NMUSIC, not the iTunes or Spotify charts -- but the only other claim here is that a publication called him an "artist to watch", and while there are a couple of acceptable reliable sources here most of the references are either unreliable or blurby. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when somebody can write more than three sentences about him and source them better than this, but right now it's WP:TOOSOON.

  • Delete most significant position he held was vicar general of the Archdiocese of Atlanta. If he had been named an auxiliary bishop (which that post gets on occasion), he would most probably meet our inclusion criteria. He was never consecrated a bishop, however, so we need to assess the other sourcing more in depth. The other awards are your typical local stuff. Receiving the honourary title of monsignor is no big deal (some dioceses hand it out like candy once you reach a certain age). Sourcing is run of the mill that most priests of retirement age get: they're beloved local figures so they get ordination jubilee coverage, etc. All of that adds up to him being a beloved local priest, which do not meet our inclusion requirements of WP:N.

  • Comment if there are no other comments, would an admin consider closing this as soft delete? This is a local guy in Atlanta who doesn't have broader societal impact and is unlikely to be historically significant within that archdiocese.

Had they been made while he was an actor instead of when he was a student, this would have been an easy keep. He has had some main roles but consensus as of late is that WP:ENT isn't really enough anymore to establish notability. He seems to have more roles as a TV voice actor and actor, interestingly enough. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 02:22, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a person with no clear notability claim per WP:NPOL; as near as I can suss from how badly the article is written, he's been a political organizer and an as yet non-winning candidate in a future city council election, but has held no political office. The sourcing isn't getting him over WP:GNG for anything, either -- there are two primary sources, two YouTube videos, one source which tangentially verifies the existence of a company named in the article but fails to contain Nybo's name in conjunction with it, and one source which namechecks Nybo in the context of being a local football coach rather than in the context of anything political. There's also a probable conflict of interest here, as the subject edited the article himself just 16 minutes after it was created (and how else could he have known it was here that quickly, but for the article being created by a friend or associate of his?) There's simply nothing here, neither in the substance nor the sourcing, that counts as notability for Wikipedia purposes. Bearcat (talk) 03:42, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia readers love information about death as evidenced in the fact that "list of deaths" by year is always a top-10 Wikipedia article by popularity. At Category:Lists of people by cause of death we have lots of articles which are lists of people dying in various ways, and most of those lists are cited instances of people dying in some odd way without also including any journalism or research overview of the phenomena of death in this manner. There could be a list article for this subject because between this article and the main article we have about 10 citations.

I'm inclined to agree with User:Bluerasberry that these are probably too trivial to mention in Russian roulette, but I would challenge the idea that it's worth a standalone article just because folks would want to see it. By that logic there would be a lot more articles about individual Pokemons, porn stars, etc. A Traintalk 18:07, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A Train You make a good comparison with pokemon and I had that in mind also. I am not sure if you are aware of Wikipedia:Pokémon test but I think that applies here. There are 700+ pokemon and Wikipedia lists them all in various articles at List of Pokémon. Discussion around pokemon established the idea that Wikipedia can feature lists of items which individually are non-notable. I do not think that these individual deaths should have their own articles, but putting all deaths in one list article aside from the main article seems fine to me. Consider for comparison List of killings by law enforcement officers in the United States. Those also get managed based on the Pokemon precedent. Blue Rasberry (talk) 18:30, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Bluerasberry, I do indeed remember the great debate around Pokemon articles -- I was one of the editors arguing against individual articles for them back in the day. I would argue that there's a fundamental difference here between police shootings and Russian roulette deaths. Police shootings are in themselves an important social phenomenon and a lot of ink is spilled discussing them -- which makes for an encyclopedic topic. Russian roulette deaths are a (ghoulish) curiousity, and fairly rare at that. If we could find some articles that talk about the social impact of Russian roulette deaths (as we could about police shootings and Pokemon), then I'd change my tune. A Traintalk 18:52, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A Train I think that is a fair counterpoint and will say that I am not sure how important Russian roulette deaths are to log. Police shootings are more important. Russian roulette at least is a notable topic, so it merits an article more than some method which is not notable. I can agree that having sociological papers would contribute to establishing notability and that we do not have those. So far as I know this concept is more of a plot device in fiction than anything else. I still say "keep" but you have good points which prevent me from being totally convinced that my position is correct. I think that deletion is justifiable.

I appreciated the thought-provoking discussion, Bluerasberry. Cheers, A Traintalk 19:12, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Deaths are not individually notable, but that is not the issue here. The issue is whether a single article with a list of such deaths is notable. We can have notable lists of non-notable things when the general topic is notable but individual items too trivial for their own articles, and, like the Pokémon, that seems to be the case here.

Secondly, your account will never be deleted; only the article is being considered for deletion. Thirdly, having a Wikipedia article is not necessarily a good thing.

  • Delete as per nomination. Blatant advertising and COI. -- P 1 9 9  ✉ 17:25, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this wikipedia page does not do justice to the Tamarack Institute. The Tamarack Institute won a UN award for their work in 2014. [1][2]. Yes it is true that the news articles that are related to this award are no longer on site. An issue with a organization in a small media market. It is also a core contributor to the CENTRE FOR PEACE ADVANCEMENT at the University of Waterloo [3]. It is apart of the centre along with christian peacemaker teams .

Tamarack has created a "Vibrant Communities: Cities Reducing Poverty" network of more than 100 municipalities across Canada working to reduce poverty for over a million individuals. Here is a list of some of the members

  • City of Edmonton
  • City of Grande Prairie
  • City of London
  • City of Medicine Hat
  • City of Moncton
  • City of Ottawa
  • City of Peterborough
  • City of Toronto
  • City of Windsor
  • City of Hamilton
  • District of Stewart
  • Niagara Region
  • Peel Region

Tamarack also has Engage! which is an award winning e-magazine [4]

Tamarack is also working to create stronger communities including places like Grey county and bruce county, which are referred to as Grey Bruce as many of their programs are in both counties, and delburne [5].

- It is an important Non Governmental Organization in the Kitchener Waterloo Region and in Social Planning across Canada. The question was asked how to make the page last, or removed from deletion. Sure the question could have been worded differently, but there should be an education process rather than just stating it is advertising. There are many aspects to this organization that are not on the wiki page.

There is actually a lot that could be done to make this wikipedia page represent what work they are doing. Just cause the original wikipedia page writer is not up on how to make a good wiki page does not mean that it should be deleted @Jasper Deng:

    • @65.93.177.106: These do not meet the requirements of being reliable, independent, and significant (particularly the two boldened ones) that WP:GNG dictates for inclusion on Wikipedia. To be more explicit, we can't use a source from the organization itself to establish notability (even though we can use it to verify some statements in the article, see WP:PRIMARY), and a source on a significant person in the organization is not the same as a source on the organization itself.--Jasper Deng (talk) 05:42, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I realized that I had to log in for my input to matter more. I do realize that you need independent and significant. So I have found some additional sources that are hopefully up to your standards

Since 2002, the Tamarack Institute has been guiding Canada’s approach to fighting poverty through the Vibrant Communities initiative in a dozen Canadian cities. The Tamarack Institute refers to their strategic action frameworks as “frameworksfor-change,” and cogently describes their value as follows: “A strong framework for change, based on strong research and input from local players, shapes the strategic thinking of the group, helps them make tough choices about where to spend their time and energy, and guides their efforts at monitoring and evaluating their work. Ask anyone involved in the effort about where they are going and their road map for getting there, and they will tell you. [1] That quote is from a paper Channeling Change:called Making Collective Impact Work By Fay Hanleybrown, John Kania, & Mark Kramer published by Stanford University.

Biosphere Reserves in Canada: Exploring ideals and experience [2] by Sally Lerner is a retired Associate Professor who at the time held an Adjunct position in the Department of Environment and Resource Studies at the University of Waterloo. Printed in ENVIRONMENTS a journal of interdisciplinary studies connected to the University of Toronto. The article discusses how the best practices developed by Tamarack can be adapted into use for building and protecting Biosphere Reserves. The discussion is on page 92-93

An Article written for the Horizon Policy Research Institute[3] Comprehensive Community Initiatives: Promising Directions for “Wicked” Problems? by Bob Gardner uses the research and work that the Tamarack Institute does to find solutions to social problems. "In May 2010, Tamarack - An Institute for Community Engagement and the J.W. McConnell family Foundation jointly sponsored a Strategic Dialogue to consider these kinds of questions, in relation to their Vibrant Communities and other comprehensive collaborative community initiatives directed towards poverty reduction. This article is based upon background research commissioned for this conference.1" [4]

There was a international study on 'knowledge to action' (KTA) done in relation to chronic diseases and public health. In their student of global work in KTA they focused on the work of the Tamarack Institute and Vibrant Communities Initiative. See: Health Promot Chronic Dis Prev Can. 2015 May; 35(3): 47–53.[5]

Here are additional news articles about their work CBC Article about their work with homelessness in the Kitchener Waterloo Area[6] Rockford_Register_Star About their work in Rockford to create meaning full changes in Rockford, by the newspaper's editorial board [7] Two stories about their work in The_Hamilton_Spectator , one where Maple Leaf Foods CEO is presenting at their conference [8] 

Another where the mayor of Hamilton is inviting Tamarack to hold their conference in Hamilton because of what was inspired from previous years [9].

Story about their work in Prince George [10]. Another story about poverty reduction projects in Sault_Ste._Marie,_Ontario [11]

True I did use a lot of 'inside' sources the last time. I hope that these sources are reliable, independent, and significant enough

"least one regional, statewide, provincial, national, or international source is necessary." - there is a sources from the US Government and Canadian Government sponsored research. The universities of Stanford University, University of Waterloo, and University of Toronto. News Articles about their work in Illinois, Hamilton, Kitchener/Waterloo and Sault Ste Marie in Ontario, Prince George in British Columbia.

Unfortunately, this is still insufficient. The first two articles (the PDF's) are not more than passing mention, and do not count as "significant". Only two of the articles you linked are on the institute itself and overall this does not qualify as "significant".--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:56, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: blatantly promotional, wholly unencyclopedic. DrStrauss talk 08:45, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I went through each of the sources like Jasper Deng did and have to come to the same conclusion. Before I write an article, I ask myself if independent reliable coverage provides enough information with which to build the narrative. Any experienced editor should be able to extract enough meat so as to not have to go to the entity's website for anything except the address, if even that. There's very little history to be found in the sources I could find and those above, except for a mention of its founding year. I don't know who the founder is even - maybe I missed it but it should be easier to find. The majority of the media coverage seems to be about a few hosted Institute initiatives, i.e. their work fighting poverty, but there's not enough in my opinion to pass the general notability threshold WP:GNG. I recommend you wait for more media coverage, including more in-depth profiles, and reach out to an experienced editor who has done similar articles. Also, Tamarack Institute should be the title - I think the current title is too promotional. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 00:33, 2 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

CYN (singer)[edit]

WP:BLP of a musician, who has no strong claim to notability per WP:NMUSIC and lacks adequate reliable source support. Getting signed to a label is not an automatic NMUSIC pass in and of itself — being signed to a label counts toward notability under NMUSIC #5, in which two full albums have to be released on the label, but so far all she's got is one single that just came out ten days ago and thus can't be sourced as meeting NMUSIC #2 yet either. One of the two footnotes, further, is her own self-published website, which is not support for notability -- and while the other reference is an article that's surprisingly longer and more detailed than I was expecting, and thus counts for something, it doesn't count for enough by itself as we require multiple reliable sources to pass NMUSIC #1. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when she has a stronger claim of notability and better sourcing for it, but right now it's WP:TOOSOON. Bearcat (talk) 17:50, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't delete CYN! She's an up and coming artist whose debut EP is expected before the end of this year. She has multiple stories published of her, including in Billboard twice, once here and another here, The Fader and The Chicago Tribune. I think she deserves to remain on Wiki as more and more people will be seeking information on her and her debut single, Together, which is already making gains in popularity. Update: I have filled in more information on CYN's page. There are now 4 published sources referenced in her article.

Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which someone gets an article for being an "up and coming artist whose debut EP is expected before the end of this year" — we're an encyclopedia, on which somebody gets an article for having already released two full albums, having already had a Top 40 hit, or some other marker which suggests that they've already arrived. Making it big comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not vice versa. Bearcat (talk) 15:15, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't about publicity, I'm not this girl's publicist - and don't misuse my quote, I was explaining to you that she is relevant. In any case, before it was about sources, and now it's about your marker of whether or not a pop singer has "arrived". Billboard, the music industry standard, has recognized CYN twice, in two different articles by two different writers. And I would argue that having one of the world's biggest pop stars recognize her talent, sign her to their label, and promote her song is a marker that she has arrived. Besides, her name is on other articles, so why wouldn't you want to make Wikipedia more cohesive and have her name be linked to an actual page? CYN should to stay.

Having a little bit of media coverage doesn't assist notability all by itself, if it doesn't support that she's accomplished anything that constitutes a pass of a notability criterion. A musician needs to satisfy both conditions, not just one or the other, to qualify for an article on here — if you're aiming for "she's notable just because media coverage exists", then she needs quite a lot more media coverage than just a couple of articles, because many musicians who've accomplished nothing that passes a notability criterion could still show two or three pieces of media coverage from somewhere.
And no, merely signing to a label — regardless of whether that label is owned by a major pop star or not — is not an NMUSIC criterion in and of itself: as I already noted, being signed to a label isn't a notability claim in and of itself until there are two full albums out on the market. It's still possible for a musician to get an article with less than two albums if she passes another NMUSIC criterion instead, but she still has to actually pass an NMUSIC criterion and is not exempted from that just because the article has a couple of sources in it that are covering her only in the context of "emerging up and comer that we just saw a press release about" rather than "person who has had a hit single" or "person who has released albums".

  • Weak Delete WP:TOOSOON. If the debut single gets enough popularity to appear on any notable charts this may change, but the promotional campaign isn't sufficient coverage for notability. Power~enwiki (talk) 00:39, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Agree with above comment that this is WP: TOOSOON. But it is a weak delete because the subject is getting coverage in some fairly heavy-hitting sources, bearing in mind any artist with the promotional muscle of a Katy Perry connection is going to get the obligatory column inches. But user Bearcat is making persuasive observations. Despite the hype, it is equally possible this artist may fail in her aspirations and have little accomplishment other than mere existence. As I write this her debut single has been out almost 2 weeks, and there is yet to be any indication of how to measure its success (e.g. Chart activity; Sales numbers; non-promotional third party reportage, etc.) It needs more time.

  • Delete I PRODed this when it was first posted about a single robber, other incidents of robberies with a knife were added to make it seem more credible. I left it for a bit to see if it would be fleshed out but it hasn't. There's nothing inherently significant in robbing a bank with a common weapon, none of the crimes or perpetrators are notable in & of themselves (per WP:PERPETRATOR as I cited in the PROD), and throwing a bunch of non-notable things together doesn't make them notable.

Draft:Aung Soe Min submission declined on 5 September 2016.

@ Article creator Domslice, Negative, the sources fail to satisfy Wikipedia:Notability (people). According to given references, he is not notable artist, author, or activist. Most of the sources only indicate that he is an owner of a (marginally notable) gallery, and a gentle and kind man. Some sources just mention it in passing. Citation overkill to sources containing mere passing mentions of the topic is not added up notability. Phyo WP (message) 12:43, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]


  • Strong Keep per WP:GNG: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list.". A few examples of independent, reliable sources which have given significant coverage:
These are just three examples showing that the subject of this article satisfies the General Notability Guideline and the article should not be deleted. — Hebrides (talk) 10:42, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Hebrides, in this case, we are discussing about notability of a person as an artist, poet or activist, etc., not about his gallery.
  • BBC News: the first one-third (not half) is about his gallery and politics of the country, excluding his narratives. Please take a deep look to the article. It shows that the gallery may be (marginally) notable, but not himself. This article does not support that he is a notable artist or activist.
  • The Guardian: only support that he is an owner of a gallery, not as an artist or poet. Please take second look to the articles. There are many names (interviews) in the articles including Aung Soe Min.
IMO, it is difficult to say that the article (not his gallery) has received significant coverage. In this BBC & Guardian articles, journalists interviewed many people, including Aung Soe Min. These references do not adequately show the subject's notability although BBC and The Guardians are reliable sources. The article is not an improvement compared to declined submission Draft:Aung Soe Min. Thank you. Phyo WP (message) 12:43, 17 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Phyo WP & supporting ::@Hebrides
  • Source 1. Thukuma: "he has for many years been a leading figure in Myanmar’s contemporary art world." Directly supports that he is a notable artist.
  • 'Source 4, Future Cities: "The book-binder’s became a meeting place for dissidents in his village. At night, they read the books they bound during the day, then discussed human rights and politics. From the shop, pamphlets and manifestos were sent out expressing support for Aung San Suu Kyi’s opposition party. When the secret service again arrived to arrest him, his answer was always the same. ‘We want education and the freedom to express ourselves"
  • 'Source 7, Myanmar Times:"Magazine editor and film director U Aung Soe Min decided a way had to be found to help local artists recover and flourish again. He bought and curated as many works, especially paintings, as he could.He has been publishing Pansodan Art and Culture weekly since 2013, but is now re-launching it as a quarterly magazine. “It’s all about building an art culture for our future, for new generations. It’s not just about money,” he said."
  • 'Source 8, The Gakushin Journal of International Studies: "His purpose is not only to sell paintings, but to awaken the Burmese people’s interest in the arts" (p 63)
  • 'Source 10 Irawaddy. Your criticism of him only being discussed as a "gentle and kind man" seems both highly selective and biased. The last line in the article explicitly highlights his role as an important cultural figure and promotor of Burmese cultural and artistic life. Quote: "Faced with the neglect of the government, the conservation of the visual legacy of the country, as well as the promotion of the Burmese cultural and artistic life, depends almost exclusively on the enthusiastic work of people like Aung Soe Min."
  • 'Source 15, The Kite tales:"Aung Soe Min breathed life into Myanmar’s contemporary arts scene when censorship was at its height and mentored a new generation of creative talent. He was regularly hauled in by the authorities for questioning over his work, particularly as the junta launch sweeping crackdowns on expression following the 1988 mass uprising against the government, although he managed to escape prison.Now he is on a one-man mission to awaken an interest in arts and history that was deadened ding decades of military rule, when soldiers trained their guns on the history books and museums echoed with the self-justifying shouts of propaganda."
These sources directly supports that he was a 'cultural activist', as the article does not ever use the word activist, saying that he uses "artistic advocacy and attempts to fight against censorship and freedom of expression" and pro-democracy movement in Burma through his engagement with the arts. This is thoroughly supported by NY article, futurecities, and most of the other articles, and your distinction that the articles primarily refer to the gallery and not Aung Soe Min is an artificial one, as he is the founder and organises the cultural acticities these articles are discussing as being important to the arts scene in Myanmar. The very title of the MM Times article (source 20) answers your criticism of him as lacking notabilty as an activist "Art association to encourage free expression"
In reply, IMO, previously declined submission was wrongly declined. Sources already demonstrated extensive notability and @Phyo WP seems to ignore that notability in the art world includes contribution to fostering creative spaces, events and encouraging artistic expression, of which most of the sources highlight (other sources with passing mention are used to support other elements of the article, not merely notability).

  • Comment: re Phyo WP's reply to my "Strong Keep" above:
    Thank you, Phyo WP, for your efforts to ensure that articles satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria. We need people like you to ensure that Wikipedia does not become a platform for self-promotion or puffery. However, I disagree with your interpretation of the notability criteria in this case. Consider, for example, the BBC article we were discussing ("Myanmar: The art of doing business in a country in transition - BBC News". bbc.co.uk. Retrieved 2017-07-17.) with regard to the general notability guideline. You claim that the subject of this source is the gallery, not Aung Soe Min. However, WP:GNG clearly states that "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material." I do not regard the BBC article as a "trivial mention" of the man, and the question as to whether he is the main topic of the article is not a WP criterion. (Incidentally, I also think that trying to draw a distinction between a person and their work is also questionable – to imply that what they have created may be notable, but the person who created it is not.) The abundance of other sources quoted above that are more than a "trivial mention" lead me to the conclusion that, despite the points you make in your reply, I maintain my original conclusion of "Strong Keep". I should add that I have no connection with Aung Soe Min, the Pansodan Gallery, Domslice or anyone else associated with this article. I simply stumbled across it when tidying up new articles. — Hebrides (talk) 15:43, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, usually this works the other way. A player does not meet Tennis Project Guidelines so we reject him. But someone points out with proper sourcing that he does meet GNG, so he gets an article but no Tennis Project tag on the talk page because the player has done nothing tennis related to be notable for. You can certainly bring up at the project that we need to be more strict, but this guy played in the US Open! I don't think anyone at the project would want to throw out his eligibility if he's played in one of the 4 Majors. And as I looked he actually played in two US Opens. But besides all that, there's a reason we have included players who have made the main draw in any ATP world tour event... they usually wind up being GNG notable.
In the old days we'd argue a player didn't do enough to merit including in our tennis guidelines. One editor would argue that they meet GNG and they'd pull out 5 newspaper articles about the guy. Bang, he's in every time. After this happens over and over, to make things go smoother and to put our time to better use, we simply included any ATP world tour main draw as assuming notability. This guy played in 10 ATP main draws including two US Opens. He played against Pete Sampras. He has articles in the Los Angeles Times here and here. ESPN did a story on him also. He won the US Nationals as a Jr twice and was the No. 1 ranking jr in the US. When that happens you get writeups. We saw this over and over and realized we were wasting our time contesting these players. Almost all met GNG by the time they played in a main draw of the ATP or WTA. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:40, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, he was allowed into his home grand slam twice with a Wild Card and lost in straight sets in the first round on both occasions. Home players routinely get Wild Cards to play at their domestic Grand Slam tournaments. It happens at all four of them. So do go blowing up the importance and notability of his US Open appearances. He didn't get any more wildcards after that and there is a reason for that. I really can't understand why you are so desperate to keep an unencyclopedic article on a tennis player who hasn't achieved anything of importance.Tvx1 13:08, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are probably quite a few players that, in my own mind, do not belong... GNG or not. I didn't make all the rules but I do tend to follow them when we reach consensus. Heck, I was against all players that win a Major getting a seasonal article. But I was crushed in that consensus and I now follow that decision with no reservations at all.

    I didn't say you made a mistake in bringing this here. That's your prerogative. But you said it fails WP:NTENNIS and it does not. It passes WP:NTENNIS by him playing in the main draw of an ATP tournament which includes the US Open. And GNG is also a guideline.

  • Keep per WP:BIAS and WP:DEADLINE. As said above, WP:NTENNIS is just a guideline and not an iron rule. I give the guideline more weight in two cases - non-English-based subject and older subject. Here, the subjects prime was about 15-20 years ago. Not much online out there, my cut off point is about 5 years. Most sources are probably in physical newspapers and magazines and I don't see volunteer editors doing a lot to check those out and as the FAQs state in WP:NSPORT, there is no time limit to force sources to be found. Plus, this subject well exceeds the guidelines - not just one appearance in an ATP 250 event, but two appearances in Grand Slams. Surely those appearances would have gained coverage, such as in local newspapers. Also, this is singles and not doubles and singles is well covered. Many articles exist for 2013-2017 recent Grand Slam competitors and they are typically well sources. No reason to believe there would not be equivalent sources for this subject if people took the time to look at hard copies. In view of all this, keep. RonSigPi (talk) 16:29, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are you really claiming that there was not much internet 15 years ago?? That's nonsense. The internet was already omnipresent in by the turn of the millennium. All the grand slam tournaments had their websites already back then. And why would these grand slam appearances have gotten special coverages. They were two Wild Card entries for a home grand slam and both of them ended with a straight set loss in the first round. There are 128 players in the first round of each grand slam and there are four of them per year. Do you genuinely believe that every single one of them gets some special coverage?Tvx1 18:23, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Far as the Internet comment, of course there was "much internet" 15 years ago. I just don't think much of it is accessible today and what is accessible by way of something like Internet Archive is hard to search - plus not everything is archived. So in other words, we presume sources were available, but has since been taken down. And yes, I do believe every one of them gets special coverage. Its not like its 128x4 - a lot of the players repeat. RonSigPi (talk) 18:59, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

BLP of a police officer, created by a COI editor (who claims to have taken the picture of the subject - nothing wrong with that as such, but it does indicate that there is a conflict of interest).

The comments above about google.co.in not being used are presumably based on the auto generated links that were created by the AfD template - again, the appropriate searches were made using the relevant search engine, not the one suggested in the template. Not saying I couldn't have missed something, of course, but since nothing has come up in the discussion to satisfy notability claims, it looks like I'm not the only one who fails to find it.

Article about a band, who have valid potential notability claims (touring, a six-episode radio variety show) but aren't reliably sourcing them to media coverage: apart from a couple of directory entries, this is otherwise referenced entirely to their self-published album liner notes and tour posters. WP:NMUSIC, however, requires reliable source coverage: touring is not a notability claim if the sourcing for it is the tour posters or routine concert listings, but requires editorial content to have been written by media outlets about the tour; radio programs are not a notability claim until media have written about the show, and on and so forth. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better than this, but this is not the sourcing that it takes to make any of this suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia.

The band were active in the 1980's, prior to the internet era, and therefore there is little, easy available, recorded details about the activities of the band during that time. Information has been obtained in the article from independent sources such as media listings & television program listings. Bearcat points out that these are not necessarily a definitive point for accuracy, but to ensure that mistakes have not been made, all of the recorded information has been checked in interviews with some of the original band members to ensure its validity. Wikipedia is a global sharing space for information and it is important, as a historical reference for the future, that such details are not lost forever. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nigel654 (talk • contribs)

Note that Wikipedia does not have a requirement that our sources be web-accessible — if they actually got real newspaper and magazine coverage in the 1980s, then you can use that for sourcing regardless of whether it's possible to link to a convenience copy on a website or not. But what we do have is a requirement that the references represent reliable source media coverage and not just a band's own album liner notes and tour posters — so if they got real media coverage, you have to show it. It is not Wikipedia's responsibility to be about "everything"; it is our responsibility to maintain and publish articles about things that satisfy our notability and sourcing standards, and not to help preserve the details of things that don't satisfy our notability and sourcing standards. Bearcat (talk) 17:23, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

But just looking at the Times archive I found some press including a 1986 live review and several other mentions. Archive searches of other British newspapers should provide further opportunities for sourcing. Their 1987 album with Simon Rattle and the London Sinfonietta attracted some reviews too (jazz and classical reviews seem to stick around online longer than pop/rock). My research also indicates that the group has 2 notable members, Brough and Purves, meeting WP:NBAND #6; many of the sources on these men also discuss the Wallbangers. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:56, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To quote from WP:NTV, In either case, however, the presence or absence of reliable sources is more definitive than the geographic range of the program's audience alone.

  • From the Bluff source posted below:

    He also won back-to-back events at the WPT’s Fiesta Al Lago stop last year for just over $200,000, and he’s even made a huge splash at the World Series of Poker the last two years, finishing second in the 2008 No Limit Hold‘em heads-up championship for $336,000 losing to poker superstar Kenny Tran), then final-tabling the prestigous $40,000 buy-in event at this year’s WSOP, where he finished sixth for $329,000.

    Doesn't this meet Wikipedia:WikiProject Poker#Biography article notability criteria? From the link:

    For purposes of notability, Wikiproject Poker does not consider the Additional Criteria for Athletes to be valid for poker players. The project considers a poker player generally notable only by:

    • Winning a WSOP/WPT/EPT/SBOP event.
    • Winning a million dollars in a single event at an established tournament.
    • Induction into the Poker Hall of Fame

    1. Hoffman, Bobby (2015). Motivation for Learning and Performance. San Diego: Academic Press. p. 251. ISBN 0128011254. Retrieved 2017-07-31.

      The book notes:

      Motivational Leader—Alec Torelli

      On the surface, Alec Torelli seems just like any other friendly guy; he is bright, talkative, and sincere, with a cheery disposition and an affable approach to life’s challenges and obstacles. In other words, in many ways he exemplifies the type of person described by the “broaden and build” view of motivation. However, Alec Torelli is no “ordinary” guy. Hailing from Orange County, California, he attended Southern Methodist University, but at the age of only 19 years, he decided to change his life and pursue his dream of financial and personal independence by becoming a professional poker player.

      Alec has played over 2,000,000 hands of poker, winning tournaments around the world while cashed out at nine final tables, including twice at the World Series of Poker and twice at the World Poker Tournament. Today, he is considered a world-class poker champion, who, by age of 27 years, had collected over $3,000,000 in tournament winnings. Alec, however, is not like the slick, commercialized, and animated characters portrayed on television; instead, he is an anomaly—he does not play poker for fame or notoriety.

      Alec’s goals are far greater than being a top-notch player. For Alec success is not just about being a winner in poker but being a winner in life. Winning means feeling adequate, loved, healthy, and financially free to live the life he wants—a life filled with freedom, excitement, and choices. Alec craves the independence of being his own boss, free to follow his passions and dreams. At the apex of his poker career, when he was cashing in on every tournament, he had a catharsis; there is more to one’s success than what happens at the poker table.

      He took a hiatus from poker and started to work toward realizing some of his dreams. He gave speeches at universities, competed in an Olympic triathlon, visited 30 countries, learned Italian, trained in yoga in Bali, studied at the Gelato University, met his future wife, and began coaching other poker players. He now thrives on sharing what he has learned with others through his coaching activities, and ironically, helping others allowed Alec to increase his own motivation to play and challenge himself to reach new heights. He has been a coach for over 6 years now and is taking on bigger challenges every day, playing against the heavy hitters at Macau, China, where the best global contenders compete in the largest cash games on the planet.

      The author of the book is an Associate Professor in the School of Teaching, Learning & Leadership at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, Florida. Although the content has a very positive tone, I could find no incentive for this professor to promote Alec Torelli, so I consider this source independent of the subject.

      The article notes:

      The first player signed was Orange County, CA native Alec Torelli. Torelli is 22 and goes by the name “Traheho” online, though he will use “alectorelli” when The Brunson 10 becomes a reality the first of the year. Aside from having earnings of just over $2 million between online and live play since taking up the game six years ago, Torelli has already made two final tables on the World Poker Tour – the Bellagio Cup V in January earlier this year, finishing fourth for $271,000, and most recently the WPT stop in Bratislava, where he again finished fourth. He also won back-to-back events at the WPT’s Fiesta Al Lago stop last year for just over $200,000, and he’s even made a huge splash at the World Series of Poker the last two years, finishing second in the 2008 No Limit Hold‘em heads-up championship for $336,000 losing to poker superstar Kenny Tran), then final-tabling the prestigous $40,000 buy-in event at this year’s WSOP, where he finished sixth for $329,000.

      Brunson said he first met Torelli in the Bellagio’s famed “Bobby’s Room” one night after stumbling onto a game with some Chinese investors and finding they needed a fifth player. Coincidentally, Torelli just happened to be walking by whe Brunson suddenly called out to him.

      The article notes:

      Other times, it’s a ballsy dare that involves potential pain and suffering. One year, during a poker tournament at Atlantis Resort & Casino in the Bahamas, a group of bored poker pros put up a stake for a guy to swim across a shark tank. Online poker legend Ilari “Zigmund” Shamies snorted rails of salt. Alec Torelli, another online poker wizard, stripped to his skivvies, swam across the water surrounding the Mirage’s famous volcano, and scaled the volcano. Torelli escaped with $1,000 earned, lost pride, and a gash on his foot.

      Once, the physically fit Torelli made a $200,000 bet with poker player Ashton Griffin: whoever finishes a triathlon in a shorter time takes the money. “Alec was training hard when Ashton went on a $1.5 million poker downswing,” remembers mutual friend Andrew Robl. “Suddenly the prop bet seemed less important to Ashton. He stopped training and bought out for $100,000. It was the easiest money that Alec has ever made.”

Self-promotion. A previous version was speedied at Zhanglijun. The first sentence says he's the concurrent chairman of 5-7 organizations, ranging from a video game company to TV station to a bank, is this really believable? So I googled "Bank of Asia", nothing comes up. Googled "Dubai China and Asia TV", nothing comes up. "Capital Internet Association", nothing. "China Travel Entertainment Group", ditto. The third paragraph claims "Zhang Lijun was also well known as the first person of “introducing to be listed” of China.", what does that mean? The fourth paragraph then talks about the achievement of his company. In any case, the article is badly written and requires WP:TNT even if the person is found notable.

  • Delete The sources for the information are a mixture of routine corporate filings, press releases, and a site that started as an illegal (non-GFDL) fork of Chinese Wikipedia. No RSs at all. A couple of specific indicators of WP:PROMO:
  • The original claim that he's chair of Bank of Asia (which is not actually a bank according to the source) has somehow become chair of Bank of China (by some measures the largest bank in the world).
  • Mr Zhang is said to have been 'general manager' of several Chinese firms. This is translating a term used for middle managers. To compare an equivalently trumped-up term in English, 'sales executives' are not notable corporate leaders. Matt's talk 08:22, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation. While certainly it's possible in principle for a First Nation and the Indian reserve it lives on to qualify for two separate articles as two separate topics, since one is a group of people and the other is a geographic entity, in actual practice it's somewhere between extremely hard and virtually impossible to actually write anything genuinely substantive about the reserve beyond a boilerplate statement that it exists and is occupied by the First Nation, the end. If we could write and source anything genuinely substantive about the reserve as a geographic entity beyond simply reduplicating content from the nation article, or if there were an WP:XY problem because the reserve was shared by multiple distinct First Nations groups, then there would be a case for separate articles — but neither of those situations applies here. If all we can really write or source is a boilerplate statement that the reserve exists, then it should simply be addressed as part of the nation article instead of standing alone as a separate permastub. By the same token, we don't maintain separate articles about Toronto as a geographic entity and "Torontonians" as a cultural one; we address both aspects in tandem in the same article. Bearcat (talk) 17:46, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, even as a permastub. It is a distinct geographic entity, delineated by INAC, and separate from the municipalities and even the province surrounding it. I created this, and many other reserve stubs, in an effort to address Wiki's lack of indigenous content. It invites others to add content specific to the reserve. Also, Chippewa Island is a shared reserve, b/w Chippewas of Georgina Island, Chippewas of Rama and Beausoleil. FUNgus guy (talk) 06:21, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Distinct geographic entity...separate from the municipalities and even the province surrounding it" is not a claim that applies differently to a First Nations reserve than it does to a town or city: the exact same thing could be said of Toronto, Mississauga, St. Thomas, Greater Sudbury, Ottawa, Cobden and Hearst, which are all distinct geographic entities with defined boundaries that exist separately from other entities at that level of geography too. And the problem with reserve stubs is there's rarely if ever anything that can be said about the reserve beyond "it exists and is occupied by a First Nation", for the same reason that we don't keep one article about a city as a geographic entity and a separate article about the culture and history of the people who live in it: we discuss both aspects in one article. Bearcat (talk) 15:44, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A First Nation is an entity that differs from a municipally-delineated population. It encompasses the band government (or equivalent), all of its traditional territory and its off-reserve population as well. As such, I see this in a nation-to-nation sense: X First Nation and Y Reserve as separate pages in the same vein as Canadians and Canada are. FUNgus guy (talk) 06:15, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The difference being that there's actual substance that can be written about "Canada" and "Canadians" as separate topics from each other, beyond just "Canada is a place that exists and is populated by Canadians, the end" — but that latter is all that can be written here. We have a lot of names of First Nations reserves that exist solely as redirects to the article about the First Nation that populates them, rather than as separate permastubs that add nothing of substance about the reserve as a separate topic in its own right. Bearcat (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are numerous examples of unincorporated white settlements that have pages, many of which are nothing more than permastubs. So why call out the indigenous lands as being 'not-noteworthy'? FUNgus guy (talk) 02:17, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Because that's not what I'm doing — those unincorporated "white" settlements you're talking about don't pass WP:GEOLAND either, and should properly be redirected to a parent topic (i.e. the municipality that they're located in) rather than standing alone as separate permastubs that aren't demonstrating or sourcing any proper notability. Per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, the existence of bad content about one thing does not reify into an exemption from our sourcing and notability standards for other comparable things just because you falsely accuse another Wikipedia editor of racism — it means the bad content about the first thing should be redirected or deleted too, and just hasn't been noticed yet. In actual fact, when I come across an unreferenced or minimally referenced one-line permastub about a "white" hamlet or neighbourhood, I regularly redirect it to its parent municipality in accordance with WP:GEOLAND. But I can only do that with articles that I come across — I do not have a responsibility to go on a comprehensive safari to track down every redirectable stub that might exist anywhere in the entire country, but only to address the notability and sourcing prospects of articles that are brought to my attention.
The unincorporated "white" settlements aren't supposed to be handled differently than my initial response to the nomination — this is not here because Wikipedia policy, or any Wikipedia editor, is treating First Nations reserves differently than what "white" settlements get. Both types of settlements are supposed to be handled in the same way I've proposed here, namely by redirecting the geographic permastub to a larger parent topic if they're not sourceable or substanceable as more than just "this exists, the end", and this just happens to be the particular instance that Cactus noticed at this particular time. Bearcat (talk) 16:02, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize, I did not mean to suggest racial bias. And you make a good point, perhaps this particular article is better served as a redirect to the FN page until more substance can be written. Nobody brought up GEOLAND in the discussion Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Canada-related articles#Naming conventions for First Nations reserves, so thank you. FUNgus guy (talk) 06:22, 18 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose my only opposition is the fact that First Nations reserves are not seen by Wiki-policy to be equivalent to other municipal-level entities. So Neutral. I can see the argument against poor-quality stubs. But if I can reference INAC, describe its geography, and give you the link to an official government map, is that much different from a railroad stop in the middle of nowhere, like Armstrong, Thunder Bay District, Ontario (mentioned in WP:CANSTYLE)? FUNgus guy (talk) 07:44, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Armstrong isn't a railroad whistle stop, but an actual community with an actual population and a governing body that gets it past WP:GEOLAND — and even if its article isn't actually spectacularly good, there is some genuine substance present about a former Canadian Forces station. And there's no potential redirect target for it — it's not part of any larger municipal entity and we don't have a separate article about the society and culture and history of the people who live in it, which means it's not closely related to any other article we could even consider merging the content into. Bearcat (talk) 15:59, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
My biggest issue is that FN reserves are not seen in the same light as municipalities or municipal-level entities. Even Unorganized South East Algoma District got a pass. FUNgus guy (talk) 05:19, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Question: How far does one have to go to get proper notability? I can see your argument that "This reserve exists, is occupied by X FN, the end." is not the most thrilling Wiki page. But how much more does one need? How about Obadjiwan 15E? Two extra sentences with a ref. Does that satisfy notability requirements? Or how about Goulais Bay 15A? One extra paragraph with refs. IMO all reserves deserve a page as a municipal-equivalent, but that discussion is not yet complete. FUNgus guy (talk) 23:51, 30 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Also keep in mind that reserves are de jure federal exclaves within the prov/terr, where prov/terr laws do not apply. FUNgus guy (talk) 06:25, 12 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Which is completely irrelevant to my point. Bearcat (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since the institution is still young, it may not be widely known yet, further references to be added along the way. --Vision2030 (talk) 20:17, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment:--Please consider the context. The Wikipedia page is about a public service institution in Namibia and the referenced articles are published by newspapers that are locally accepted as leading, (largely) independent media. No doubt that there is a very evident lack of journalistic quality, but this does not change the fact that the De-bushing Advisory Service is a notable institution (locally). Must a Namibian institution be mentioned on Western media before it is considered relevant? --Vision2030 (talk) 16:52, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and Redirect content into Bush encroachment in Namibia. There are a number of issues here. I'm about to NPR I have NPRed the new bush encroachment page. I think the latter is probably notable, but that the article is currently poorly written with insufficient sources, and probably by an editor using a corporate account in a well-meaning manner on Namibian environmental issues. I recommend the redirect/merge and I will work with the editor to enhance that article. (Addendum: I tried to leave detailed advice and extra urls on the article creator's talk page, but a glitch in Page Curtation Tool appears to have lost that content.)

The result was no consensus. Certainly there is no consensus to delete- and the longer this goes on, the longer the production, with a concomitant growth in notability. In any case, as was pointed in the course of the discussion, AfD is not required or a pre-requisite for a merge / redirect to be discussed.

Contested PROD (removed by creator with no rationale). This is an upcoming play which is written and directed by notable people, starring a notable person and based on a notable film. However, there's not much in the way of notability for the play itself as yet beyond the sorts of coverage that these things get when announced. I therefore question its independent notability.

  • Merge and redirect as Metropolitan 90 says. (And please note that a merge/redirect could have been done, or at least proposed, without requiring an AfD.) The content is relevant to the article about the movie but there's no need for a separate article about the play until it starts to receive more substantive coverage. While a play with these highly notable elements will almost certainly get that coverage around the time it opens, there's also the possibility it could be cancelled or delayed, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:36, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • If the play goes kaput, the Wiki article can be removed at that time. Keeping the article up offers the opportunity to track the production apart from general Internet news. I would never have heard of this upcoming production had it not been for this article. A 2018 film with Dwayne Johnson has a Wiki page that no one is talking about taking down. --Hifrommike65 14:32 p.m., 26 July 2017 (CDT)
  • Keep It is being produced by the National Theatre rather than being a commercial production. Therefore the chances of it being cancelled or delayed are negligible, and WP:CRYSTALBALL says to include if an event is almost certain to take place. There is already a reasonable amount of coverage of the announcement of the premiere season in independent sources, like here. Boneymau (talk) 06:21, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. The problem here- in terms of assessing consensus- is that GEOLAND does not require a place to be populated, only to have at some time been populated. There has been enough material presented- pace the GNIS and its definition of 'locale'- to suggest that the requirements of GEOLAND are thus fulfilled. However, although there is clearly no absolte consensus to delte this article, there is still an issue in clarifying these definitions and how a locale or ghost town are inter-compatible. That discussion, of course, is for another place. (non-admin closure) — fortunavelut luna 15:50, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. An initial search for sources doesn't yield much. The USGS calls this place a locale, not a populated place,(1535322) but other GNIS entries note a former school and a former church located nearby along with a former post office at an unknown location. The supplied references are not substantial, but this looks like a possible ghost town. • Gene93k (talk) 05:38, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If it is not populated, it does not pass GEOLAND. Simple. There are no WP:RSes that indicate it was populated, so we cannot assume that it was. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:16, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi there, thank you! I asked for help on the talk page, please also suggest improvements due to which you thought it should be here, so I can fix those particular issues. I researched the topic and read that book and articles. It is widely used in business and academics. I delivered a lecture to my students, so during a discussion, I thought this should be here so people could search and get a basic info about Category Design as it is now being used in Universities and among business people. Anyway, I have other resources I didn't include in the article. Should I do now? They are from reliable sources like Forbes and INC. Please suggest Prof.Marlin (talk) 18:13, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have added those two resources Prof.Marlin (talk) 18:43, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Article is well sourced and easily passes WP:GNG. "Category Design" is a viable business strategy to create a market category for a product where the market category may not have existed before. Facebook and Uber are two well known businesses that have used this strategy. CBS527Talk 12:16, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Delete - I don't know what "business discipline" is supposed to mean. The article appears to be regurgitation from a book by Dave Peterson, I don't think any of the other references use this term. Power~enwiki (talk) 00:52, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- I think this should be reviewed by academic professionals. The term is academic and business related as Facebook, Uber, Airbnb along with many successful businesses have used it already, universities and academic institutions welcomed this and students are seeking info about it. To me, this is academically important. I have added new info including references from the Entrepreneur, Harvard business review journal, INC, Forbes, and also found that Steve Jobs and Marc Benioff also emphasized on category design. Different businesses and business related people are focussing and writing about category design as a successful strategy for a business growth and some of the most successful business have used it, so this should be on Wikipedia as it passes WP:GNG and have enough reliable sources Prof.Marlin (talk) 10:51, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is a misunderstanding about Wikipedia in this article's creation. If this is to be kept (1) delete all cited sources which are not using the term "Category Design" then (2) delete all content in the article which is not backed with a citation. WP:GNG is not established for the subject. It is not apparent that the sources cited have a relationship to the subject of the article. Wikipedia is a place to summarize what has been published, and not a place for the first publication of ideas. It does not take an academic professional to determine that this article fails intro to research English 102, "writer failed to cite sources". Blue Rasberry (talk) 17:43, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I respect your opinion but 'Category Designing' is an evolution of 'Creating a category' for a product or company. The point is to let people know about this market and business strategy. I tried to add as much info as possible related to the subject after this discussion is launched. Maybe we can create something about it as it is/was being used by popular and successful businesses Prof.Marlin (talk) 20:22, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep After reading and checking the references, I think it has enough references to pass from reliable sources (Books, Magazines, News, Industries, academics, Harvard) and is a business terminology adopted by start-ups and entrepreneurs. Chrisswill (talk) 21:54, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep My indication is to keep this article because I feel it meets notability requirements and it's terminology that is used by the business community. I am a member of the Business WikiProject and the WikiProject Companies and find it infuriating that so many business articles tend to be deleted or poorly written. I will make a point to keep my eye on this article and work to make it better.Whoisjohngalt (talk) 00:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment the AfD appears to be leaning towards keep, but the article quality is getting significantly worse from its already bad state. Sentences like "Steve jobs was a Category King becasue of the way he categorized his Apple products, Marc Benoiff also emphasized on category desiging as a business growth strategy" have no place in this article. Power~enwiki (talk) 02:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Simply googling got me nothing but Wikipedia mirrors. Heck, I have had to turn Facebook upside down just to find the village in which this run-of-the-mill South Asian saint was buried. I was lucky enough that someone posted a G-Earth screenshot, saying it was Chajjar Syedna, so after some searching, lo and behold: 34°30′45″N 73°03′09″E / 34.512403°N 73.052362°E / 34.512403; 73.052362 actually has a marker in G-Maps with مزارشریف (حضرت ولاڑبابا جی) or "Mazār Sharīf (Ḥaḍrat Wallaṛ Bābā Jī)". Considering that the village is so small that Google does not even name it and that I get zero unique non-wiki-related hits, even for the Urdu-script variant, I'd say that this "saint" fails WP:GNG by a mile. --HyperGaruda (talk) 06:15, 8 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Prod was removed by creator with no edit summary or discussion. Notability is not inherited, and the only claims to notability here are being the son of a notable person and the friend of a notable person. Boleyn (talk) 06:32, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Boleyn, as explained in the Talk Page (I did not remove the deletion tag without discussing it), the article meet the WP:BIO John Hoyle is extensively present in the writing of Aphra Behn, one of the first women playwright in England, but he is also discussed in writing about LGBTQ History, due to his trial for Sodomy.
Boleyn and Kudpung, moreover when I tagged John Hoyle from the Aphra Behn page, the link from the Aphra Behn page was point to a "wrong" John Hoyle, lived almost 100 years after the right one. It's confusing to researcher, who, without the right page, could be mislead.

  • Delete - 1 letter from Behn and a trial for sodomy is not sufficient to make him notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:23, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Peterkingiron, It's not just one letter, one letter is what I have used as quoted text cause it was referring to the homosexuality of Hoyle. Hoyle is more present in Behn's writings, only that I do not think is the case to quote all of them. It has also being said that Hoyle was one of Behn's lovers, but that is all interpretation from their letters. We are talking of people from 400 years ago, it's difficult to discern what is true and what is implied.--Elisa.rolle (talk) 20:02, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Aphra Behn per notability WP:NOTINHERITED; he seems mainly notable for his relationship to her and his influence on her work. Besides that, his crimes and lawsuits don't meet WP:CRIME, and his political career was described in the only source about him as "not a particularly prominent member of the York corporation" and as "[leaving] little trace on the parliamentary records." His most notable personal achievement seems to have been obtaining the office of Lord Mayor of York, but going from List of Lord Mayors of York that doesn't seem notable enough in an of itself and fails WP:POLITICIAN.

  • Actually, his father was Lord Mayor. However, consider how much is known about this 17th century person. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:54, 20 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
.I was confused and didn't realize so much of the article content and sources were about his father and not him. That makes him even less wiki-notable in my eyes per WP:NOTINHERITED. Being merely documented is not sufficient for notability. He just seems like an average well-off 17th century guy who had legal problems and an association with a wiki-notable writer.

  • Delete, but with caveats. I agree that the topic of players spending their entire career with one team is notable (at least, I know it is in other sports, and would be surprised if it's not in hockey). My concern at present is a lack of sourcing specifically saying that 10 years is the "right" cutoff point - it's an appreciably long time, sure, but unless there's a general sense among extant sources that spending your career in the one place for a decade rather than 8 years or 12 (for example), then it's an arbitrary number. As a secondary issue - and probably more of a cleanup one than anything else - I'm puzzled by some of the ways the years are listed, in that you have Bob Armstrong (listed second) reading "1950-1951, 1952-1962", which implies a break for some reason, while another name (Bill Barber, both cases selected randomly) reads "1972-1984", implying no break.

  • Keep - As others have stated, this is a notable topic within hockey at least. I recognize issues around setting a cutoff, but I don't have a problem with 10 as it represents a substantial career and fits the cultural affection for round numbers. That said, I would have no objection if a discussion results in a consensus that the appropriate cutoff should be 8 years or 12 years or some other non-trivial duration.

This is actually an interesting piece of history (for Turtles fans like me anyways) but the album doesn't have any coverage nor was it originally released on a major label -- or any label for that matter. I would say merge what little info is here but The Turtles article sufficiently covers the Crossfires. TheGracefulSlick (talk) 09:32, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tceqli (formerly Ceqli) is an artificial language which lacks notability. There are no citations on the page except to websites maintained by the language's creator. Google searches for "Tceqli" and "Ceqli" does not turn up any coverage except for a handful of personal websites and Wikipedia mirrors. A previous AfD nomination also linked to its appearance in a list of conlangs in a magazine article: link (Russian). There were claims that the language has an ISO 639-3 code, but that does not appear to be the case. Besides the ISO claim previous arguments against deletion were mostly based on WP:WAX and WP:IKNOWIT. Delete per WP:NN.

Edit: the language's creator has changed its name since the previous AfD discussions. They can be found here: 2004, 2005, 2007. Hermione is a dude (talk) 21:15, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Source 1 is a wordpress blog with no indication of editorial oversight or policy. Source 2 is authored by BIGJIM (experienced user), which implies it is not written by staff member. These two don't seem like reliable sources. The ComputerBild article seems useful and reliable, however one reliable source isn't enough. --The1337gamer (talk) 09:58, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Source 1 uses wordpress as an engine, but seems to be a legitimate game journalism site. The second source is a review by an 'experienced user' (whatever that title means), yes, but the site does not seem to allow self publishing so it must have been approved by the editorial team (i.e. editorial oversight), borderline but acceptable for a non-controversial article like this. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 10:23, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Source 1 is not a legitimate game journalism site. Their About Us page says that it is a community gaming site: https://inthegame.nl/wie-zijn-wij/. There is no indication that they have professional writers or an editorial team. User generated content is generally unacceptable. I don't agree that we should be accepting user generated articles as reliable sources to bolster a game's notability.

In any case, here are two additional sources[31] [32]. I'll remove the disputed ones if you like as we have better. Edit: although please note that source 2 does not count as user generated content unless the site allows reviews to be posted without passing by the editorial board (i.e. like a forum), which does not seem to be the case at that particular site. Though I could be wrong as I am relying on G translate. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 10:36, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. There's a clear consensus here to not keep this as a stand-alone article. Normally, I would be willing to stretch things to go with the suggested merge, with a nod to WP:ATD. But from some of the comments here, this is more of a WP:V issue than it is WP:N, and WP:V really is a bright line requirement, so I'm going with the straight delete.

It's possible a new article (or a new section of L. Ron Hubbard) could be written on this topic, but it would need better sourcing, and possibly a change in slant as proposed by User:Icewhiz. If somebody wants to try doing that, my suggestion (and it's only a suggestion) would be to write it in draft space and ping the participants in this AfD for their input. -- RoySmith (talk) 23:39, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have to admit I hate nominating this article for deletion. I created this article, and in the past I helped it survive a speedy deletion (or maybe prod deletion) attempt. Wikipedia lacks adequate numbers of article on women involved in writing, adequate number of articles on African-American women, especially African-American Mormon women. The fact that my fiancee is an African-American Mormon woman makes me not want to delete any articles on people who are such. However I also firmly believe that we need to limit our coverage to people who meet notability guidelines. While when I created this article I though Trusty met notability guidelines, I have come to have a better understanding of the guidelines since then. The article is too dependent on staff bios from her employers, which are not independent, reliable 3rd party sources. My search for more sources turned up nothing helpful. I did find an interview on the blog podcast SistasinZion, but that probably does not rise to the level of a reliable source. There is just not enough to show that Trusty is notable.

    • Not everyone who works for the Deseret News is a Mormon. Until about a year ago the editor of their general religion section was a Seventh Day Adventist.

  • I apologize for my hasty generalization but my point being Mr. Lambert that the Deseret News is partially owned by the LDS Church and whose publications mostly fall in line with their teachings. There is nothing notable at all with being an journalist (Mormon or not) with Deseret News by itself. If she was involved with the publication a noteworthy story or had any articles written about her than she would be notable. Inter&anthro (talk) 16:35, 29 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. Almost all the references are just mentions of the company i The NYTimes article barely mentions it,i n an article about the line of business. Forbes ditto, and also /Entrepreneur m, judging by the title--I could not identify the article. GeekWire is a classic promotional article, and reads just like a press release.

  • Keep we almost always find that any head college football coach who has coached for a few seasons achieves notability through WP:GNG. You can see reasoning at WP:CFBCOACH.

  • Nomination withdrawn - At the time of nomination the article looked like this, with no indication it passed NFOOTY, since there was no mention of having played in the national cup. NFOOTY is pretty clear on the distinction for inclusion as having played in the national cup, not simply being eligible to play in the cup. Any of the clubs in the amateur league which have actually played in the cup are notable as per NFOOTY, those that haven't, aren't. Am glad to see the effort Gidonb has now put into the article. Since it is now clear that the club has played in the national cup, which was nowhere mentioned prior to the nomination, I withdraw that nomination. Onel5969 TT me 12:16, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep RKSV Nuenen is a Dutch Hoofdklasse club that easily meets WP:FOOTYN. Under the section club notability FOOTYN states with the bold in the source: All teams that have played in the national cup (or the national level of the league structure in countries where no cup exists) are assumed to meet WP:N criteria. Teams that are not eligible for national cups must be shown to meet broader WP:N criteria. As RKSV Nuenen and all teams in its league participate in the national cup, the serial deletion of such football clubs, without any warnings or discussion, is unacceptable. The last discussion of this sort ended in speedy keep and this one should as well. The club is notable also under WP:GNG and WP:ORG but the fact that that the relevant policy is so clear should be sufficient to again speedy keep. In fact players at these amateur clubs get paid. Netherlands is among many nations that keep paid players amateurs so they could play as amateurs in international venues. These clubs participate and succeed in the national cup, including, specifically RKSV Nuenen. Just linked one of these cups back to the club! I suggest that deletor undoes all his deletions given our policy and withdraws the nomination given the clear conflict with our clear policy, there to overcome widespread problems of sports fraud (i.e. nominal amateurist leagues where players and staff are professionals). BTW the Hoofdklasse is also a national league, would one disregard the national cup, however, since the Netherlands does have a national cup structure, WP:FOOTYN is clear that this is what matters. gidonb (talk) 04:13, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to List of breakfast cereals per ATD-R. Clear consensus that at this point it has not been established that the subject is sufficiently notable for its own entry. The only argument against the redirect was that the search engine will find it anyway, however, redirects are not only for searching but also for linking and it's doubtful that any user will find the list when trying to link to the cereal. Also, leaving the history in place allows interested editors to try and create a better article that might actually pass GNG. SoWhy 09:18, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • On the fence at the moment. obviously this is notable in theory as a commercial product whose name and advertising many people readily recognize, but the sourcing here isn't actually helping us to say anything substantive about it to make the article much more than a WP:NOTDIRECTORY fail: of the four "references" present, three are primary sources (an "ingredients and nutritional information" page on the website of its own parent company, and two YouTube copies of its advertisements), and the only thing here that actually represents reliable source coverage about it in media is a blurb so unsubstantive that nothing else could have gotten into Wikipedia if that was its only source. Now, obviously in principle it should be possible to make the sourcing better than this — but that isn't an automatic notability freebie until someone does show that better sourcing does exist, and "I've heard of it" can and must never hand any topic an exemption from having to meet certain standards of sourcing. So I'm not a clear delete yet, as I believe it's entirely possible that better sourcing may exist somewhere — but I can't and won't say keep either, until somebody does the work to show that better sourcing does exist somewhere.

  • Comment - If you're going to go down that road, you'll have to include all the rest: List of Breakfast Cereals that have their own page for less importance than Golden Grahams here on WP. It is a cereal still in circulation since 1970; and there are dozens of cereals discontinued that have pages. If WP allows Golden Nuggets, Golden Crisp, et al under just the G's ... I suggest the nominator get busy in their mission to rid the WP shelves of all the boxes they deem empty of content for this subject. Maineartists (talk) 21:42, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The problem isn't whether it's still on the shelves or not; things that went defunct a thousand years ago or more still get Wikipedia articles if they can be sourced as significant — Pangaea, for example, does not still exist today and is about 300 million years older than any breakfast cereal, but it's still sourceable as noteworthy. The key issue, which no article ever gets an exemption from for any reason whatsoever, is reliable sourcing that properly supports the notability claim. Bearcat (talk) 21:59, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Changed my "keep" to mere "comment" - agree with Bearcat. So ... get busy, fellas. I see a lot articles out there on tons of stale old cereal needing a good deleting. Cheers! Maineartists (talk) 22:05, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I did a search of my library database and found literally hundreds of articles on the Golden Grahams brand, including articles in AdWeek, Marketing Week, The Commercial Appeal, Marketing, Food Management, the Wall Street Journal, etc. A lot of the coverage focuses on how the cereal is marketed, but it's coverage that supports notability nonetheless.

User:BU Rob13 you can consider yourself double-dog dared to create an encyclopedia article that people could actually learn something from, and not just a string of commercial dreck that adds up to a steaming pile of "INNOVATION IS LIMITED TO BRAND EXTENSIONS" nothingness. And don't forget to Circle 108! Or is it 203. Oh drat I forget. Jytdog (talk) 06:22, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There certainly is a lot of dreck. I waded through it, as one is meant to do when doing a WP:BEFORE search. For an example of what coverage I found significant:
  • 3 General Mills roster agencies pitch Golden Grahams account, Michael McCarthy and Trevor Jensen, ADWEEK Eastern Edition. 38.34 (Aug. 25, 1997): p3.
  • General Mills Moving Golden Grahams Back to DDB Needham, Trevor Jensen and Michael McCarthy, ADWEEK Midwest Edition. 38.44 (Nov. 3, 1997): p5.
  • Golden Grahams to relaunch with spoof cult campaign, Marketing Week; London23.29 (Aug 31, 2000): P. 6.
  • Kellogg Goes Crackers; Kellogg Faces Battle Over Breakfast Table as Cereal Partners Launches Golden Grahams, Hoggan, Karen. Marketing; London (May 2, 1991): 4.
All articles focus on the business and marketing aspects of Golden Grahams specifically, not all cereals under one company umbrella like the articles you quoted. The last one is probably the most significant. It takes up about 1.5 full pages in a newspaper and covers the brand's entry into the UK quite extensively as well as the success of the brand in the US. It could definitely be used to expand this article. Your "people could actually learn something from" standard is extremely subjective. You appear to think cereal is trivial and therefore doesn't get an article. That's just not true. Notability is determined by available sources, not the state of the article, and definitely not your opinion of what's encyclopedic (see WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC). I may circle back to improve this article, but I'm not going to do a huge rewrite two weeks before a major exam that will determine whether or not I stay in my PhD program... ~ Rob13Talk 06:39, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No that is not what I think. And I expect an admin to do better than making assumptions about other people think, much less write that. In any case I am sorry that you think our mission is not to generate articles that people learn from.... and I wonder what you think this is all for. You can give that some thought in breaks from your PhD work. Good luck with that work! (and I mean that.) And you can pick up my dare and re-create this when you get time.

I said the criterion you're going by is subjective, not wrong. We're obviously here to compile information so people can learn. The article as it stands already compiles information people can learn from in my opinion - that there is a brand of cereal with certain characteristics and a particular history. Based on your comments, you don't think learning that is "learning", which is why I said what I did. The article could have more information, but Wikipedia is a work in progress. Not all articles are going to yield the answers to life's great mysteries (though world hunger ... you never know). Documenting a significant brand is worthwhile in the opinions of many. ~ Rob13Talk 07:02, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Really? This page in WP has been a steaming pile of advertising shit since it was created in 2005 with the words "good stuff". I would say that is 12 years of evidence that nobody (yet) thinks it is worthwhile to document the history of this particular brand. In my own BEFORE (and yes I did a search, I write as I spit on your shoes), what I found was "INNOVATION IS LIMITED TO BRAND EXTENSIONS" nothingness. This is going to be deleted, and if you decide to give several hours of your own precious life to culling through sources and rehearsing a history of mundane marketing strategies to re-create this, your claim of "worthwhile"-ness might have been proven true. Of course you might find it to have been a complete waste of your time.
I will not be responding here further, as I have already given too much time to this. Jytdog (talk) 07:22, 25 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
