  • Keep - per fact that this was part of a bigger issue of riots in Swedish suburbs at that time and present. Good sources. --BabbaQ (talk) 07:11, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Sources can obviously be found in abundance in the Swedish press, but this needs to be part of a larger article on social problems and violence in Swedish suburbs (or something like that). In isolation, an article like this has no place in an encyclopaedia. --Hegvald (talk) 08:49, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Crime-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 10:10, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not notable for stand alone article; briefly mentioned in the Rinkeby article already and a sentence or two which is RS cited could be added therein. Kierzek (talk) 13:57, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not really notable outside of just "immigrant-related crime." I don't think it needs its own page, but I agree that it could be briefly mentioned in the Rinkeby article. Kamalthebest (talk) 05:23, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I did a modest expand, source. Riot was widely covered at the time (in 2010 a riot in Sweden was novel and shocking) and widely covered again in the context of the 2017 Rinkeby riots and Trump's remarks.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:54, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • added an empathetic perspective on these riots form recent book by nonviolent social justice advocate George Lakey here: [1].E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:53, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Note that Lakey may be correct about this riot by immigrant youth being the first such riot in Sweden. Certainly it is part a growing series of immigrant neighborhood riots in Sweden, and as the apparant earliest in this series, it gains significance.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:53, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Lakey doesn't say that it was the first in Sweden, not even that it was the first in Stockholm, only that it was "in recent years". This article on the Swedish Wikipedia list a number of riots, though not all are youth riots. The first such that I found was The student riot in Lund 1793 and there have been a number of notable riots in recent years. So, there is no notability for being the first of series.

  • Delete Non-notable event. Sjö (talk) 06:55, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • And, certainly, international news coverage of a riot 7 years after it happened meets an important standard of notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:58, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that WP:NOTNEWS does not apply. Ongoing coverage during rioting in Rinkeby in 2013 and again in 2017 sparked renewed coverage of the 2010 riots by press around the world. The fact that thousands of people were prompted to visit this page at the time of the 2017 Rinkeby riots shows the utility to our users of keeping articles on riots past. In fact, noting that this page was created not in 2010, but in 2013 makes it highly probably that this riot came to creator's attention due to the fact that this 2010 event was widely covered by the media in 2013.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:06, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete A notable riot is something bigger (bigger events, bigger coverage in media) like 2013 Stockholm riots. So, as per "Wikipedia is not news", I think we should delete this page and add the information to "background" of "2013 Stockholm riots". Kavas (talk) 09:18, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • We follow sources in determining notability; in this case, news coverage in English-language searches has been global, with a major wave of coverage of this 2010 even in February 2017. In addition to coverage in sources like the book discussed above.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your suggestion to "delete this page and add the information to" is irregular. Normal procedure would be Redirect and Merge in order to WP:PRESERVE both the usefulness of the search term "2010 Rinkeby riots" , (gSearch: [2]), I continue to think article should be kept on the grounds of coverage that has been global, ongoing and in-depth, but if it is to be merged, a better target might be to a title like: Rinkeby riots, 2010, 2013, 2017 accomplished by merging this article with 2017 Rinkeby riots.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I change my vote to Redirect and Merge after reading this. Kavas (talk) 11:27, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • just a point of etiquette: when changing an iVote at AfD, it is usual to your original iVote. Cheers.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:51, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the time being, but I think this content should be merged with other similar articles under some appropriate title. --Hegvald (talk) 15:21, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note that I have added three blue-linked analysts giving post-game analysis of this riot.E.M.Gregory (talk) 15:27, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- the mention in the book is about one sentence; the other two analysts appear to be discussing the immigrant rioting in general, not this specific event, unless I'm mistaken. I still don't see how this particular riot stands out and why it should have a stand-alone entry. To preserve article history, perhaps it could be redirected to 2017 Rinkeby riots? K.e.coffman (talk) 05:58, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Both Levitt and Quinn cite this riot specifically, and discuss it in the context of immigrant rioting not "in general" but very specifically in Sweden in recent years.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:56, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:HEYMANN Although Nom and the early iVoters above saw a very brief article with 3 sources [3] I have expanded the article significantly. I did not attempt to find Swedisn sources, rather, the article is sourced ot international coverage of this riot the year it occurred, a second round of coverage in 2013, and a third in 2017, in addition to books. I assume that an editor working in Swedish would find more discussion, but I do think that the article as it now stands passes all normal standards, and is, both encyclopedic and useful as documenting an early example of the problems of immigrant integration now confronting Sweden.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:03, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Looks like something sourced and sufficiently notable. This page could be merged with 2017 Rinkeby riots if there are sources covering them as related events. My very best wishes (talk) 00:29, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of flags by number of colors[edit]

List of flags by number of colors (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This list consists of original research, is unencyclopedic, and is not appropriate for Wikipedia per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. No sources are given and the counts seem to be based on the specific images used in Wikipedia. Many of these flags can be rendered with a variable number of colors, especially the ones that include seals. Regardless, this is not a topic covered by reliable sources (other than listing the colors of simple flags), and doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Kaldari (talk) 17:10, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per NOTINDISCRIMINATE. Subject fails WP:GNG and the article fails WP:V. I feel bad, it's a pretty article, quite colorful, and someone obviously put some work into it. But unfortunately it really is non-notable trivia. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:18, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Significant sources have been added. I am not sure they address the subject of the article in sufficient depth to pass GNG, but the article is no longer a glaring WP:V fail. -Ad Orientem (talk) 15:22, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because I think this is just a rehash the already keep'd AfD for the sister article Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of flags by color combination (which is also in the widely used Template:Lists of flags infobox). The complaint that there aren't sources given is fair, but that's just a task for cleanup. This is topic is about as easy to source unambiguously and definitely as they come (although tedious). The reason it doesn't have sources is likely because nobody contributing to it thought something as plainly obvious as how many colors a flag has needed a source. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 17:45, 13 March 2017 (UTC)Note to closing admin: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (talkcontribs) is the creator of the page that is the subject of this XfD. [reply]
    • Edit: As an addition to this. Looking a bit more into the sourcing. If you click through on most of the flags the colors are sourced there, e.g. here, here and here. I did find some articles like e.g. the Hungarian flag which on cursory reading seem to lack a source about the flag being a tricolor flag (even though that's patently obvious, but whatever, I guess nothing's too obvious to cite). But just to note that we don't have some endemic problem where Wikipedia is claiming that certain flags have 2-3 colors and we have *no* source for it. We just don't have it in this particular list, you have to click through to the flag articles. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 19:38, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - In agreement with the foregoing. And when "original research" is really just the rearrangement of material already in well-sourced Wikipedia articles, as is generally the case here, it's really not any more "original research" than illustrating something with a picture originally posted to illustrate a different topic is.. --Haruo (talk) 15:59, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepVexillology typically defines flag colors very precisely, so the nominator's claim that color count may be wrongly based on Wikipedia pictures is irrelevant: if a particular WP picture does not reflect the official color arrangement of a flag, then the picture must be updated, not the color count. There are very precise sources for all flags, and most flag articles already have links to appropriate sources about the flag's design and color composition, including meaning and historicity. Finally, the list is not "indiscriminate" and it does no harm to people uninterested in the topic, while being a useful resource to readers who have a practical need for finding flags by color, or simply being curious. — JFG talk 18:44, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As noted above, not "indiscriminate". Number of colors in a particular flag is generally not vague. Sources can be added. RoCo(talk) 19:12, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Challenge - @Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, JFG, and Rollingcontributor: For all of you claiming that the number of colors is easy to source, please show me a source for our claim that the standard flag of Costa Rica consists of 8 colors (or any number for that matter). Kaldari (talk) 20:34, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not claiming or assuming that the number of colors for any given flag is trivial to source. I was just pointing out that there's certainly a lot of cases where we can 100% get a completely reliable source that there's an exact number of colors in a given flag. What I don't understand about your argument is the assumption that just because we can't get a reliable source on some number of flags that the entire list is worthless and should be deleted in its entirety. It would be like saying that we can't have a List of sovereign states and dependencies by area list just because presently we can't come to a consensus on the exact political status of the Ukraine or Russia because of Crimea, and thus don't know how big those two countries are, and by extension the entire list is worthless and there's no point in having it at all. I entirely reject that argument as silly. It might be the case that the number of colors in a flag like Costa Rica's is uncited or just unknowable, but then it can just be listed as such in the article. I.e. as some fuzzy range of colors, or "these are flags where there's no consensus on the number of colors, but it's at least X and less than Y" or something like that. --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 21:33, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Kaldari: The flag of Costa Rica (used by government for official purposes) has 3 colors.[1][2][3]. Whether the colors of the coat of arms (or any other symbol) should be included as a part of the flag can be sought through community discussion. Costa Rica also makes a peculiar case in this regard as private citizens are forbidden from using the flag with the symbol.[4] According to one award-winning[5] survey[6], the colors in the symbols were excluded from the number of colors in the flags. It is completely possible to mention whatever consensus has been achieved, in the article, and to find sources for the same. Almost every country I've ever heard of has atleast one source mentioning the colors in it, sometimes from the government directly.

  • @Rollingcontributor and Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: Having seals in flags is pretty common. It looks like about a third of the flags in the current list have seals or other complicated graphics. How do you propose that those flags be dealt with (in a way that conforms with WP:V)? It seems that RoCo is suggesting that the seals be ignored (or sometimes ignored?). Any thoughts on that? Kaldari (talk) 22:58, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Kaldari: Didn't know proposing community discussion meant suggesting the seals be ignored. Coming to WP:V, reiterating what I told right above, flags of almost all countries have at least one source mentioning the colors in it. I believe members of WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology will be better able to propose and proceed with the manner of classification of flags with seals and other symbols.RoCo(talk) 06:58, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Rollingcontributor: Mentioning colors is not the same thing as stating how many colors a flag contains. Without a plan to address this problem, I still favor deleting the article, as it seems unlikely to actually get fixed. Looking at the talk page, the discussions are full of original research; not a single source has ever been mentioned in the article's 13 year history. Instead of meeting my challenge, you just chose a different version of the flag. How about Nicaragua, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala? There are no sources stating how many colors those flags contain because the number is variable depending on how the seal is rendered. Doesn't that seem like a major problem with this list (that is potentially unresolvable)? Kaldari (talk) 18:08, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Right now this article is completely unsourced and fails WP:V. Sources are not optional and the article cannot be kept if none are added. Also there is no evidence of notability for this subject. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:45, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as WP:LISTCRUFT. Ajf773 (talk) 19:11, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Why do we care what colors each flag has? Or how many? Or whether the green in Equatorial Guinea's flag is light or dark? (Or "tree" -- really? What color is a tree? Which tree?) Why is it encyclopedic to compile such a list? How many readers will consult WP to find out how many colors the Mexican flag has, when they can simply look at the flag? This is an exercise in keenly observing the obvious. We all have a finite amount of editing time; every minute spent on this is a minute that could have been spent improving the encyclopedia. Surely the editors in question can find something more useful to work on. DoctorJoeE review transgressions/talk to me! 18:40, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @DoctorJoeE: Not sure if you know about Vexillology, but flag colors are defined precisely according to it. Also, how many readers would want to google 200 flags to check the colors in each one for mere curiosity, let alone a project? Not many I presume. RoCo(talk) 20:16, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • With all due respect, why would someone need to check the colors in 200 flags? I'm not a vexillologist (obviously), nor am I familiar with what those folks do on a daily basis -- or how this article could help them do it. DoctorJoeE review transgressions/talk to me! 03:26, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • As it is the study of flags, the reasons could be many. For instance, the number of colors could be related to the history of a nation and how it was symbolically represented in a flag. The number of colors could also be used in observation of trends (See 'Vexistats' pdf below). It is certainly significant for the study. RoCo(talk) 08:12, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
          • This all seems rather academic since the article STILL does not cite a single independent reliable secondary source. WP:V is not optional and there is zero evidence of notability. Every word above is neither here nor there as long as this remains the situation. If the article remains unsourced it can't be kept. -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:45, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Exactly. There is a much more meaningful and encyclopedic article that exists, List of flags by color combination which specifies colour combinations. The number of colours per flag is just indiscriminate fluff. Ajf773 (talk)
  • Keep The main problem seems to be the lack of verification. Well, surely the verification is a picture of the flag itself? As long as the picture is accurate according to the country's criteria for their own flag, then that verifies the colours (and hence the number of colours). If there are problems with any images, causing innacuracies in this list, then that means that the image needs to be corrected. PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 08:07, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • The main problem is suitability, ie whether it qualifies for WP:LISTN and does not appear to be in violation of WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Just because a list is verifiable doesn't make it encyclopedic. Ajf773 (talk) 09:39, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Actually what is being described by Phantomsteve is pretty much a definition of Original Research and it is a big no no on here. Beyond which we STILL have no indication of notability. The bottom line is that completely unsourced articles are not allowed here. Period. This is not complicated folks. -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:29, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • So now we have some RS, from which we learn that the number of colors per flag appears to be on the rise, perhaps due to improvements in flag manufacturing technology and changing cultural preferences. With all due respect, so what? And there are still the problems of notability and original research. My vote remains unchanged.

  • Delete Just because we can [organize a list of something according to some characteristic] doesn't mean we should, [especially if that characteristic is not categorically discrete such as color, weight, attractiveness, odor, etc.). Neither can I see any useful reason for having this list— who would want to read it? Why? (Or how about "List of flags by last name of person credited with being president of the corresponding nation when that flag was first used at a football game"? "Reductio ad absurdum"). KDS4444 (talk) 09:52, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is a close call, but the strongest argument advanced upthread is that the article fails WP:LISTN and has original research concerns. Neither of these substantial issues in the article can be resolved easily, even if you threw 500 sources at it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:23, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: As mentioned by Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason, this seems to be pretty similar to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_flags_by_color_combination, which was kept. This article is fairly straightforward, and it seems that sources could likely be found for most flags, beyond just looking at them. Lists like List of flags by color combination and List of flags by color seem to generally be accepted, so I don't see why this article wouldn't, and that also makes me disagree with the notion that no one would ever want to read this list. If those lists would have a reader base, I imagine this article would as well. This list is straightforward and presents accurate information in a useful way. bojo | talk 23:02, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I voted keep above, but for those that voted delete I think something that would clarify this whole thing is: Could you please clarify whether you think your arguments to delete this also applies to deleting List_of_flags_by_color_combination (which as noted was already discussed before), and if it doesn't, what you think the critical difference is between the two? Furthermore Template:Lists of flags has (excluding per-country lists) 20 additional lists, e.g. lists of flags by aspect ratio, date of adoption etc. To what extent does your deletion argument apply / not apply to some of those other lists? --Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 12:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I nominated this article for deletion for two reasons: Original research and unencyclopedic content. List of flags by color combination also suffers from those issues, but not as much as this article does. I think the other lists are mostly OK. Kaldari (talk) 14:34, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: At least some of the concern regards the question of WP:OR. The other article being compared here did not have those concerns. Just because one article is similar does not mean we keep another like it for the same reasons. WP:OSE. I've not decided yet, but if there is OR, then it should be deleted. If you want it kept, clean up the article, provide WP:reliable sources to prove WP:GNG. SW3 5DL (talk) 15:30, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I'm really not that strong on list notability policies, but this seems like a (oh-no, he's going to say that word that you're not supposed to say in AfDs) useful and (oh-no, again) interesting way to present this information. WP:IAR, maybe, but I think this is a keeper. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:27, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but redefine the scope so it's national flags (for example). This is currently just a mess of any old flags with no (clear) inclusion criteria. Lugnuts Precious bodily fluids 07:24, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Proposing deletion for a promotional page. Searches for 'Nathan Kelly composer' online yield little, let alone good evidence of notability. The sources given on the page are lacking. Most are to the Kelly's own personal website or to dead links. One source is to a 'DuckDuckGo' internet search for Kelly, which, funnily, does not give much more than this Wikipedia page. His IMDb page has, similarly, been used for promotional purposes. The linked IBDB page describes two positions: a 'special keyboard arrangement' and a 'music department assistant'.

Triptothecottage (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to CBC Radio 2. Full disclosure, I'm the original creator of this, about a decade ago when the mere verifiability of its existence as a networked radio show was all that was actually required. But the notability rules for radio content have been considerably (and wisely) tightened up since, and indeed this simply isn't the subject of any real coverage in its own right — while the initial coverage of R2's programming shift made it sound like there was going to be more substance to this show, all it's really turned out to be is the radio equivalent of an iPod on shuffle: an automated, hostless stream of continuous music through the overnight hours until R2 Morning kicks in again the next morning. So there's really just no substance that can be written about what it's actually turned out to be. But it should still be retained as a redirect to the network, if for no other reason than the fact that it's mentioned there and linked in a few other articles. Bearcat (talk) 20:46, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that information, Bearcat. Is there any article this could be merged with (or mentioned in), or will the redirect suffice? RoCo(talk) 21:00, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, just a redirect to the network. Maybe with an anchor to the "CBC Radio 2 schedule" section, though, since the network's article is long and that's the part where the show name actually comes up. Bearcat (talk) 21:49, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete - The article does not meet Wikipedia's credibility standards whatsoever. There are no references at all. I'm not active anywhere other than the English wiki but still will have a look at the German wiki. Also, the page is one of the oldest pending review from a new page reviewer. The article is a complete stub regardless of this discussion. If not deletion, the article will need considerable improvement to survive. Yashovardhan (talk) 20:42, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Articles do not meet or fail to meet notability standards; subjects do. A poor article on a notable subject should usually be improved, rather than deleted. I encourage you to more thoroughly review WP:BEFORE, which, among other things, advises users to check versions of the article in non-English languages. Machine translation (you should be using Google Chrome anyway) is usually sufficient to tell whether it is a substantial and sourced article. You pretty evidently didn't follow the BEFORE steps with this one. It's not a terrible mistake to make, and it's pretty common for editors to confuse the state of the article with the notability of the subject, but that's just part of getting used to the whole process.

Twice examined before at AfD, both of which (2nd and 3rd) had confessed signs of unconvincing significance and notability, and the subsidiary articles have also been deleted, Bristol + and Mike Bennett (businessman), so because this is still unimproved, there's nothing to suggest satisfied policies; to examine the sources at last AfD; 1-8 are a local business story ("[company] astonishing"), ("E3 enjoys a number of clients, these [are]:"), "[they] praise their team with helping them win awards, including a "of the year"), "They said, other customers include", "They announced, they said, their employees", "They hope, investors have already slapped", "They said", "[company] aims to give young people deciding on a university the lowdown from current students", 9 is a few-sentences quotes. So to quote, WP:GNG, "Articles may be notable (not guaranteed) and coverage must not be primary or connected to the subject" which fits the above given our policy WP:What Wikipedia is not then applies, which states: Wikipedia is not a sales catalogue, altogether a policy older than WP:GNG itself and one that supports any deletion without exceptions (something WP:GNG has not attained).

      E3 MEDIA is now one of the UK's leading independent digital agencies: an astonishing success for a company launched in the cellar of a student house while the joint managing directors were busy taking their finals at Bristol University.

      That was seven years ago. Last year the agency made the first ten in Design Week's Top 20 UK Digital League Table, with a turnover of Pounds 2.2 million.

      Mike Bennett, the joint founder with Stuart Avery, said: "We found Bristol was a vibrant, cosmopolitan student city. I don't think we would have been as successful so quickly if we had launched in any other place."

      E3 Media specialises in web, internet, extranet and CD-Rom development. It is also in the forefront of viral campaigning: gathering information via internet games.

      Few would equate undergraduate student digs with business acumen.

      Yet, in 1997, Bristol students Mike Bennett and Stuart Avery defied everyone's expectations when, while revising for their final exams, they started digital communications company E3 Media from their bedsit.

      Since then, the two men have turned 30 and their company has matured into a diversified business offering everything from website design and CD-Roms, to marketing campaigns and computer-based presentations.

      Marching steadily through the late 1990s bursting of the dotcom bubble, today E3 enjoys a number of bluechip clients.

      These range from mobile phone giant Orange, to clothing firm French Connection, car care products and bike shop Halfords, and the National Express bus company.

      Growing digital agency e3's story parallels - or perhaps leads - that trend. Founded in 1997 by Mike Bennett (who went on to found the See No Evil street art festival) and Stuart Avery, it began life as a web design business.

      TWO West graduates are poised to launch the region's first Internet 'incubator' start-up firm.

      Mike Bennett and Stuart Avery, of Bedminster, Bristol-based e3 Media, are looking to help set up websites for fledgling Internet firms by providing start-up funding, business strategy advice and securing investment from venture capital firms.

      By acting as an incubator for seedling companies, they hope online entrepreneurs will flourish across the region instead of turning to the City for support.

      Investors have already slapped a GBP20 million price tag on the firm should it choose to go public but e3 Media plan instead to expand privately.

      The new firm will draw on the technical expertise of three-year-old multimedia and Internet firm New Generation Productions, also set up by Bennett and Avery.

      By bringing on board the entrepreneurial skills of Bristol City football club chairman Scott Davidson and Dougal Temperton, publisher of Venue magazine, e3 Media plans to nurture creative talent from across the region and turn it into potential Internet businesses - hand-in-hand with jobs and growth.

    10. E3 Media has had a significant impact on society. That E3 Media worked with the National Trust to create the "50 Things To Do Before You're 11 3/4" campaign shows they have had a significant effect on society. The campaign received significant coverage in Design Week (link), which discusses E3 Media's involvement in the campaign:

      Bristol based consultancy e3 has produced the interactive website for the National Trust’s new ‘50 Things To Do Before You’re 11 ¾’ campaign.

      Launching today, the site is aimed at 8-10 year olds. It challenges children to complete 50 activities like catching a butterfly, going abseiling and cooking on a campfire.

      ...

      e3 also researched popular children’s websites like Club Penguin and considered the tastes of their own children to develop a site that it hopes is fun and interactive. Users can change the backgrounds and the characters’ clothes.

      The consultancy has worked with the National Trust for nearly five years and this site is the first of three new projects it is working on.

      The project started in December 2011 when the Trust approached e3 to design the website to accompany a ’50 Things’ scrapbook. The consultancy says that as the project developed the digital side became the focus because children like to play computer games. Now the campaign and scrapbook are based around the online content.

      It also received coverage in the Daily Mirror (link), the Daily Express link), The Guardian (commentary by journalist Ally Fogg), and The Telegraph (link). There are other sources about the campaign here.

      In this article, a National Trust assistant director wrote on the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's website:

      Over 90,000 children have logged their adventures on the 50 things to do before you’re 11¾ website and app.

      ...

      Two years ago our Natural Childhood report painted a bleak picture of children become more and more disconnected from nature and the outdoors. The number of kids who regularly go to their local ‘patch of nature’ has halved in a generation. 9 in 10 kids can spot a Dalek when they see one. Yet a third of kids can’t identify a Magpie.

      I think getting 90,000 children to participate in a campaign that encourages them to explore the outdoors shows they have had a significant effect on society.
    There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow E3 Media to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

  • Delete the sources in the article and above are not convincing for notability; this is still an unremarkable private agency going about its business. The coverage strikes me as routine as in "local company does well" or "here's a new client". Notability is not inherited from notable clients, and there's literally nothing else there. Despite the best efforts since the last AfD, this is non encyclopedically relevant content. It belongs on the company web site, not here. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:01, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete. Graph Database Technology is sill relatively new and there just isn't a whole lot of information about it. Having said that however, it is among the fastest growing and there will be a lot of content written on it. Moreover, some of the references used in the AgensGraph article are the same references used by some of the leading companies in the industry. For example, db-engines was used as a reference for Neo4j and github was used as a reference for both ArrangoDB and Neo4j. Again, this article does indeed need quite a bit of improvement and I am working hard each day to make those improvements. Thank you everyone for taking the time to comment on this article.

  • Comment – You want to delete the article for the guy who created The Tribe (TV series)?!... I'm highly inclined to vote keep on this. The key is somebody who can find New Zealand sources for this one – I'm sure this guy has gotten coverage in New Zealand entertainment media circles. --IJBall (contribstalk) 03:25, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • While The Tribe has a lot of coverage, it looks like Raymond Thompson himself doesn't. The press usually focuses more on the stars of the shows and the shows themselves rather than the creators; it may be worth noting that The Tribe's co-creator, Harry Duffin, doesn't have a Wikipedia article. Maybe you're right that somebody in New Zealand has sources. All I can say is that I didn't have much luck finding source material. Youngodin (talk) 06:00, 24 March 2017 (UTC) blocked sockpuppet[reply]
  • I'll try and look into this over the weekend. But I find it implausible (not impossible, mind you, just implausible) that a prolific children's show producer/creator hasn't gotten coverage. The trick may be to search for articles that cover Cloud 9 Screen Entertainment Group. The issue, though, is that I suspect a lot of that coverage is New Zealand-based, and not necessarily internet-available, which is why it'll help if one of our New Zealand editors sees this, and is able to help out from that angle. --IJBall (contribstalk) 12:25, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note also that another editor has added some inline sourcing to this one, so it's getting close to passing based on that – the Variety and The Dominion Post refs, especially, are quite helpful. --IJBall (contribstalk) 12:34, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as he is covered in reliable sources such as Variety and The Dominion Post, passes WP:BASIC Atlantic306 (talk) 17:25, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – haven't gotten to checking for more sourcing on my own for this one yet. But the fact that it was nom'ed by a sockpuppet is enough for me to err on the side of "keep", esp. in light of the recently added sourcing to the article... --IJBall (contribstalk) 05:41, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

National Indian Students Union UK[edit]

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. I took into account the arguments and input that were from non-involved and non-invested users that were not using multiple accounts, and did not significantly contribute to the article's creation or arguments/disputes during the process. These users established that notability is not met (per WP:GNG), and that the majority of the reliable sources cited or found were not covering this article subject as it's main topic of material, but notable people that made mention of the article subject instead. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:35, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is a promo just written by the said organization and their representatives in a promotional way to big their own causes. Lack of notability for a small student group. --Rd897 (talk) 08:36, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The user rd897 seems to have some sort of personal problem against the said organisation, which as you are aware has not spared them sharing private details of individuals on wikipedia, causing potential harm to them (specifically, user Mohanish Borana and Sanam Arora). This is made all the more concerning by the fact that they are using wikipedia to delete only two pages - National Indian Students Union UK and Sanam Arora, and that is their only contribution to Wikipedia. Should they be allowed to use a platform such as Wikipedia to take out what seems are personal issues?

Regarding the actual notability of the organisation, please note the below:

1. There are 5 patrons of this organisation, including a former United Nations Secretary General (Dr Shashi Tharoor), a member of UK parliament (Rt Hon Virendra Sharma MP), Former Deputy High Commissioner of India to UK (Dr Virander Paul) and an Indian Education Minister (Mr Ram Bilas Sharma). These senior figures have joined the organisation to support its good work and further its vision.

2. There are multiple high profile supporters of this organisation, including its Honorary Fellows - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar (international peace-maker and spiritual guru), Dr SY Quraishi (former Chief Election Commissioner of India), Mr Javed Akhtar (Member of Parliament, India and Indian cinema legendary figure) and Mrs Shabana Azmi (Social activist and Indian cinema legendary figure).

3. This organisation is the only such organisation which is repeatedly engaged in advisory services by the Indian Government on matters relating to young Indian students and youth in the UK. All of this is made evident by various links to Indian government owned websites such as https://pbdindia.gov.in/session-report-5 - you will note that NISAU's president is the only UK student/alumni representative.

4. This organisation has been engaged by the Mayor of London to conduct exclusive research into experiences of Indian students in the UK.

5. This organisation to show some examples, has been called upon by: - UK Parliament's All Party Parliamentary Groups (see http://www.appgmigration.org.uk/sites/default/files/APPG_PSW_Inquiry_Report-FINAL.pdf) - Westminster Policymaking forums (see http://www.westminsterforumprojects.co.uk/forums/slides/Sanam_Arora_International_Students.pdf) - Scottish Government (see http://news.gov.scot/news/scotlands-colleges-back-return-of-post-study-work-visa) - Indian High Commission in UK (see https://www.hcilondon.in/gallery.php?album=1794)

6. This organisation is featured in top Indian and UK newspapers for its work. Some recent examples include: - http://indianexpress.com/article/india/uk-must-remove-obstacles-faced-by-indian-students-shashi-tharoor/ - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/britain-indian-students-easier-uk-post-brexit-india-visa-relations-shashi-tharoor-kerala-mp-diplomat-a7623551.html - http://www.hindustantimes.com/education/visa-policies-for-indians-in-the-uk-must-focus-on-post-study-work-opportunities/story-MTGpTgoYvgSE8mTeBORoXJ.html

7. The President of the organisation was recently awarded the India UK thought leadership award for her work with the organisation. Please note that a fellow recipient of the same award was the Deputy Mayor of London. See some coverage by the Times: - https://www.timeshighereducation.com/news/uk-india-relationship-at-risk-as-student-numbers-slide - https://www.timeshighereducation.com/opinion/anglo-indian-ties-strained-student-visa-policy

I hope the few points above are enough to prove the claims made by user rd897 that accompany their deletion request, as baseless:

" The article is regarding an organization which is not really notable, and the article is biased " - a. User Mohanish explained (that rd897 later deleted), the presence of the organisation in more than 25 universities covering all 4 countries of the United Kingdom. In fact, the Northern Ireland wing of the organisation was launched by the Mayor of Belfast and the British Council. See - https://asianlite.com/news/uk-news/nisu-floats-n-ireland-chapter/

b. Notability is very explicit given the points above and, note most of these are stated on the wikipedia page for the organisation anyway This is a promo just written by the said organization and their representatives in a promotional way to big their own causes. Lack of notability for a small student group

a. This seems like a personal attack on the representatives of the organisation. Wikipedia should not allow its wonderful platform to be used to propagate such negativity

b. I don't agree that the article is written like a promo, but if rd897 feels that way, their view was respected and taking that into account user mohanish modified the text accordingly. rd897 reversed these changes instead of acknowledging that their views had been respected. Also note they didn't help in the first place by editing the page such that their views were taken into account. They simply want it deleted and are not helping either the cause of the organisation nor that of Wikipedia

c. A "small student group" is just factually incorrect. Small groups don't have presence in 5 countries - i.e. all 4 of the UK, and India. nor are they called upon by governments and supported by such senior figures. Even if the organisation was indeed "small", there is no reason for the great work being done by the organisation to not be shared with current, past and future Indian students who greatly appreciate all the work the organisation does to help and represent them. Note this is all done for free (as noted on the NISAU website). Not sure what "own causes" rd897 seems to be alluding to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Histbp1234 (talkcontribs) 13:11, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]


@Rd897: The UK-wide presence of the organisation is described explicitly to remove contention of its notability. NISAU has its presence in 25 major universities of the UK including LSE, King's, Westminster, Warwick, SOAS, Manchester, Belfast, Edinburgh and prominent figures including members of parliament of both UK and India, Ministers, CBEs, Global icons in arts and spirituality are associated with it. What bias is seen in the content? Being an apolitical and non-religious organisation, no ideology is biasedly presented nor it only talked about the UK or India. When the issues that Indian students face was listed in the article, it was accompanied by the condemnation of visa-abuses.

@Imalawyer: Proper referencing is done and a lot of external sources are listed now. Language is altered too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MohanishB (talkcontribs) 07:16, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • STRONG KEEP

Organisation meets all criteria for Non Commercial Organisation i.e.

  • Would recommend nominator be banned for vandalism per WP:VAN. Nominator has made no other contribution to Wikipedia other than personal attacks on President and Secretary of the organisation, they have even been warned for privacy breaches per WP:PA. Instead of helping meet the goal of Wikipedia by editing and improving the page, they keep nominating it under baseless grounds for deletion. See WP:ATD. Wikipedia is not a platform for personal attacks per WP:PA.
  • It is to be noted that the nominator reversed improvements made to the article following their own comments. This makes their negative intentions explicit.
  • If any concerns remain about advertising / promotion, then contributors are recommended to edit.

Will not indulge in pointless accusations. My account is not a sock of User:MohanishB. I find it hypocritical user rd897 is indulging in personal attacks on my contributions, when their own account is publicly evident to have only been created to vandalise this organisation and its office bearers. Their own contributions are only to repeatedly attack the organisation, see rd897 contributions here.
  • Ajf773 please may I draw your attention here? Can you see the conflict of interest with user rd897? If their sole motive (as is evident by their contributions) is to defame an organisation, then how can their accusations and justifications hold any merit? Really welcome your guidance here.

  • Wikipedia is a wonderful platform, and we should seek to improve what we can on it, not fight pointless wars. I also notice that despite two different editors removing your multiple votes, neither of which are allowed given you nominated the page for deletion in the first place, you have reversed User:Bbb23's comments and voted again.

  • Delete. Nothing in this article suggests the subject meets all the notability requirements. Sources are hardly independent (ie Youtube) and the whole article is written in a promotional tone. Ajf773 (talk) 03:48, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I will like to defend the page on WP:GNG requirements.
  • Reliable: 1. There are a lots of secondary references including prominent news dailies of India and the UK, Westminster forum projects (ref 26-29), Scottish government (ref 32-33).
  • Significant coverage: Official Consulate General of India website lists NISAU at top of all students association.
  • This is a very important point. Official Government agencies are listing this organsation and inviting them to international events to deliver addresses. This should be enough on its own merit to justify notability.Histbp1234 (talk) 13:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources: Yes the high profile people takes major share of the news coverage for obvious reason but comment from Winged Blades Godric clearly acknowledge many high profile people are part of the organisation in various capacity (Patrons, Advisors or Honorary Fellows) which indirectly proves its notability because why would otherwise MPs, Baroness, CBE, former Ministers, Former UN Under secretary etc will link to a organisation?
  • Independent of the subject: Presence on Westminster Forum and Scottish Government or CGI is because of its work and are not produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it.
  • Ajf773 (talk) if you find the article of promotional language, the article can be amended accordingly as per Wiki policy but that should not entitle to its deletion given it is a notable organisation in the UK. MohanishB (talk) 20:24, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • MohanishB. But can it be rewritten to satisfy the notability requirements? I think not. Ajf773 (talk) 05:36, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ajf773 the page has been re-written. Any guidance on any further improvements needed would be most welcome.Histbp1234 (talk) 13:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Local coverage of local elections always exists, so it falls under WP:ROUTINE and an unelected candidate for political office does not permanently clear WP:GNG just because of that coverage alone — to attain notability on the campaign coverage itself, it would have to be shown that her campaign coverage had exploded far out of proportion to what any candidate for office could always show, such as what happened to Christine O'Donnell in 2010. Absent that, the only other way to get her in the door is to show that she already cleared a Wikipedia notability standard for some other reason independent of her candidacy itself — but nothing here demonstrates that either.

  • Keep. Seems to be more commonly referred to as "Baba Jitto". Under that name, it's not hard to find some sources:
The article is weak because it is written from a believer's standpoint and retells a legend as fact, without the caveat that this is the story. It needs lines like "Both of these divine souls are worshiped in the form of total God today" rewritten entirely. But, the subject seems like a notable one.

  • Redirect to Ahmadiyya Muslim Peace Prize (no merge please) The prize itself has questionable notability and the significant coverage about the subject doesn't exist. I am against a merge as the information is already there in the target article and adjusted for WP:WEIGHT. Closing this as a merge essentially forcibly leaves a messy attribution redirect.

No evidence of notability. The papers authored by the subject have received too few citations according to Google Scholar. She won the Ashden Award as a member of a group (in fact, the award was given to "Appropriate Rural Technology Institute"). Other awards and honors that the subject received don't seem to be notable.

  • Keep as the venue for the highly notable Toronto Blessing, the church was certainly notable then; and notability is not temporary. Peterkingiron (talk) 23:33, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"Highly notable" is a stretch for the Toronto Blessing. The Toronto Blessing was a '90s fad experienced by a few thousand people. The Macarena was a much more significant '90s fad (experienced by millions of people), but we don't need an article about the birth place of the Macarena. Jrheller1 (talk) 00:14, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The Toronto Blessing was certainly a 90's fad, but experienced by millions, not "a few thousand". And even a cursory glance at Google Scholar, for example, reveals that yes, it's "highly notable". StAnselm (talk) 02:36, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Where do you get the "millions" from? According to the article, the size of the congregation was only 1000. Obviously, there are millions of Pentecostals throughout the world who claim to experience similar things, but not in the context of the "Toronto Blessing". Jrheller1 (talk) 04:54, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
From Toronto Blessing: At the time of the revival, Dr. James Beverley, a critic of the Toronto Blessing and a professor at Toronto-based Tyndale Seminary, stated that these events were a "mixed blessing" but was later quoted in 2014 as saying "Whatever the weaknesses are, they are more than compensated for by thousands and thousands of people having had tremendous encounters with God, receiving inner healings, and being renewed." So according to Beverley, "thousands and thousands" experienced the "Toronto Blessing", not "millions". Jrheller1 (talk) 05:07, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"To date, around two million visitors or "pilgrims" have journeyed to Toronto to experience the Blessing for themselves." StAnselm (talk) 07:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The author of that book section just states the number two million without any proof. As a seminary professor who lives in Toronto, Beverley is a more reliable source. For two million people to have visited the church, there would have needed to be 1000 different people at the church every day for almost five and a half years. Even if there were two million unique visitors, the Macarena is still far more significant (with more than 11 million copies sold and far more than 11 million listeners or participants).

  • Comment: The subject really does pass WP:GNG quite easily. Although the coverage is closely connected to the Toronto Blessing, there is lots about how the church coped with it, and relationships to other churches: see, for example, this entry in the Encyclopedia of Evangelicalism as well as this book. StAnselm (talk) 03:14, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the church became notable in the 1990s due to the Toronto Blessing, and remains one of the best-known and influential churches in the global charismatic movement. It therefore has a status of its own and requires a separate article. I am sure it would be straightforward to find numerous references to it in reliable sources.

  • Strong Keep This debate are evidence of our endemic problem with presentism and paywalls. I ran a quick proquest news archive (paywalled) search on "Toronto Airport Vineyard" and up came many, in-depth articles about this church. I added the first one as a source, it is about the split from the Vineyard denomination. and is in the Ottawa Citizen, a non-local big-city daily. There was lots more, certaily enough to create a good article. The catch is that much of the in-depth coverage was back in the 90s - only 20 years ago but its paywalled.

If you actually look at the citations, you will see that they are to essentially a WP:Walled garden. WP:PROF is not supposed to be a suicide pact.

I think you are not looking at his papers here but rather a book.

  • Speedy Delete Absolutely no evidence of notability. His website mentions that he has received some awards from some organizations, but doesn't mention the name of those awards or why he received them. His Google Scholar profiles lists some publications, none of which seem to be his own (Sagar Pradhan is not an uncommon name in India, and Google Scholar has attached the publications of his namesakes to his profile). Also, from the username of the creator of the article, this looks like a WP:AUTOBIO. — Stringy Acid (talk) 11:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete Per previous comments. Fails WP:GNG. His awards are a scholarship and an alleged internal company award. Google scholar mentions somebody else. It would also appear that the majority of edits are made by the subject of the article, a violation per WP:COI and using multiple IP's (from work and home), which is considered abuse per WP:SOCK. Here he is adding himself to the March 1st page. Should have been speedily deleted when it was first tagged, but he removed the tag (the IP geolocates to Bhubaneswar, Odisha). Page should be salted as it was previously deleted on 16 January 2015. David.moreno72 11:29, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The criteria for A7 is pretty low overall. My thought with taking this to AfD rather than fudging things a little is that if it goes through AfD then that's pretty much it for the article barring anything exceedingly major coming up in the future. It's more of a solid delete than A7 would be by itself. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 12:51, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Basically, when it comes to A7 they have far more leeway to recreate an article than they do with AfD. After it's deleted at AfD that's pretty much it. Salting from A7 tends to usually happen more when there are 2-4 attempts to create an article in a very short amount of time, to prevent the same person (or group of people) from being disruptive. When the page was deleted in 2015 it didn't have any mention of the awards, which was the only reason I'd declined the speedy and taken it to AfD. It was a weak assertion, but enough to where they might have been able to contest the speedy if it went to DRV. Basically, A7 only handles cases where there's nothing there that could hint at possible coverage out there. The award mention was vague and I definitely don't think that any of them would give notability on Wikipedia, but you can pass A7 on pretty weak assertions. I figured that since there were two new accounts that signed up, there was a higher possibility that they would argue to get the article restored, making an AfD probably inevitable and making the process go longer.

This is an entirely subjective list, reflecting the article creator's ideas of which Unicode symbols are useful. All Unicode symbols are useful to somebody or they would not have been added to the Unicode Standard, and there are no reliable sources for deciding which symbols are useful enough to be included in a list of useful characters.

  • Delete It's a subjective selection that duplicates material already covered in the encyclopedia. Wikipedia already has a lot of coverage of Unicode, as well as links to all the codepages in Wikibooks. Homoglyphs are already covered, e.g. Duplicate characters in Unicode. Essays and personal picks don't belong in what's supposed to be an NPOV encyclopedia.
As mentioned, the definition of "useful" is unclear - is this any more useful than the content it duplicates? If it means useful to everybody in the world, then the selection is suspect. If it's specifically useful to Wikipedia editors, then in theory it could be moved to the Help namespace, but pages like Help:Special characters already exist and are more relevant. It maybe also falls foul of WP:NOTHOWTO, as a manual on how to create confusing user names. Colapeninsula (talk) 10:59, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps merge this with Unicode symbols to List of Unicode symbols. Unicode symbols are a subset of Unicode characters; see Universal Character Set characters § Categories.

I note that this article has now been expanded to include not only Unicode symbols but also any random characters that the editor thinks are interesting, including various ligatured Latin letters and CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideographs that coincidentally vaguely resemble Latin letters. So the article is no longer a list of symbols, but is an arbitrary list of Unicode characters that one particular editor finds interesting.

  • Keep: Hi. I can see some users given complain on using the "useful", then please change page title to what it should be renamed into. My objectives are to include many LIGATURES & HOMOGLYPHS & frequently used Unicodes under one page, which looks like latin/english characters, so its easy to find quickly, and if needed use (copy-paste) in various other pages, articles, apps, messaging, mobile-devices, etc. So page title can have such WORDs, it can be "List of latin look-alike Unicode ligatures, homoglyphs". It will include more related Unicode glyphs, so page title can/need-to/may reflect those aspects.

This article has been bugging me for weeks; we have no criteria at NHORSERACING that covers assessment of notability of the bloodstock agents (basically, they are skilled horsemen familiar with the market who advise others on racehorses to purchase), and this just feels like a purely promotional piece to me. I am not entirely sure it meets GNG, though if the consensus is that this individual is notable, I'm willing to reconsider this nomination and withdraw it. But it feels very commercial in tone, so I need other eyes than mine to look at the notability issue. Montanabw(talk) 07:36, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I appreciate the input and thought I put in enough sources to provide notability. I am open to suggestions and edits....especially so it does not sound like its "promotional". There are 15 different sources from 13 different authors, i thought that was enough. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. :( Im open ears!! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladyngetal (talkcontribs) 17:04, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]


I put in an explanation at my talkpage, but in short, it’s the quality of the sources, not the quantity; while TDN, Daily Racing Form and Blood-Horse ARE reliable sources and can be used to establish notability, most of the articles cited basically say, “Some rich person bought an expensive horse on the advice of bloodstock agent Justin Casse. Then the horse won some races and a bunch of money.” But that’s his job. What about him as an individual is different from other bloodstock agents? With trainers or jockeys, our criteria is relatively straightforward, we assess things like the number of Grade I wins to show they are the best in their field. Here, we need sources to show that Casse is somehow better at what he does than the others. You have one or two sources that hint at this, but mostly they emphasize that he’s pretty young and off to a fast start, not that he has actually done BETTER than others. Examples of info to look for: Has he won industry awards? Is he closely associated with clients who won industry awards? (Such as Eclipse awards) Are there statistics that show that he has had some sort of better return on investment for his clients than most? The list of famous horses is of some help, except it’s way too long, for one thing, I would chop any horse that is not a GI winner or an Eclipse award winner or a record-holding champion of some sort. Montanabw(talk) 17:18, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Montana, The Casse Family is very prominent in the business and articles about Justin Casse have flooded the above mentioned publications over the last 5 years. His list of clients that were mentioned on the page are some of the most notable in the industry and some have won eclipse awards. I know the page is littered with G1 winners sold, purchased and pinhooked, but of course as most of this is suitable within the professional world maybe it is of note on Wikipedia. I know somewhere Casse boasted about having transacted in $80+million in bloodstock sales on 4 different continents, and a 40+% ROI when pinhooking which seems lofty, and if you put those numbers up against the ones you would find on Bloodhorse databases, it seems to hold up, but that type of stuff also seems very promotional. Also, Ive google searched all other bloodstock agents and cannot find half as many articles as there are about Justin Casse. I believe I may not be able to fully fix this article on my own, would you mind helping me? Obviously your experience speaks for itself and I am more than willing to learn by example. Thank you so much for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladyngetal (talkcontribs) 17:46, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep per the quality of horses he's dealing in. I'm not really familiar with bloodstock agents being separate from trainers and the racehorse people notability thing is kind of vague for non-trainers/jockeys (which could be fixed--remember when the equestrian one made it sound like nobody could be notable without an Olympic medal, leaving out all the people like Bud Dunn?). I don't think Ladyngetal is a single purpose account, either. White Arabian Filly Neigh 21:18, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep because he is becoming fairly well known in the US industry. Might suggest adding a paragraph or two explaining his job in a bit more detail, since we don't have a general article on the topic of bloodstock agent. Jlvsclrk (talk) 19:48, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable relatively new journal. No major changes since previous AfD, although the article now contains several "references" (mostly negligible announcements or listings and at least one "reference" that doesn't mention the journal at all). Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. On the talk page a handful of citations to articles in the journal is mentioned, but this is far too less to indicate any notability. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 06:47, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What dictates how many citations are "too less"? Several reputable books have referenced the journal:

  1. Book1
  2. Book2
  3. Book3
  4. Book4

Further, I find journals that have their own page with far less support than the GroJIL. What of this, or this, or this? What qualifies their work but not the GroJIL's? Kind regards, User9228 (talk) 07:34, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looking at the sources given, I find no evidence of notability in the sense of either WP:GNG or WP:NJOURNALS. Calls to paper are routine, and the rest are at best an in-passing mention of the journal. Being cited ~120 times in GS is also well below the threshold for most law journals. By comparison African Journal of International and Comparative Law gets ~3000 googles cites, American Journal of International Law 81,000 cites, European Journal of International Law has 24,000 cites.

Comment - Could this perhaps meet the requirements for keeping, because of the educational institution link? PaleoNeonate (talk) 11:38, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Pink Grand Prix is a readers' poll conducted by "PG" (perhaps "P*G") magazine, a publication of no established notability. According to this news article [19], cited as a reliable source in the article on the award itself, "PG" is a "fanzine," or fan magazine. Reader polls, whether for print or online publications, generally aren't seen as establishing notability unless the publication is clearly notable (if then), and when they are, only the first place finisher is generally seen as having its own notability established by the poll. The film's article is sourced only to a comprehensive listing of produced films, which establishes only existence but not notability, and to the fanzine's own website, which lacks the independence required to establish notability".

    • I appreciate the difficulty of handling sources in a foreign language, but let me suggest that most of those are less than meets the eye. (I know Romanian, and I checked a couple dozen.) This, for instance. Strike one is that it's in Click!, a tabloid, the kind of publication we probably shouldn't be citing. Strike two is that it mainly revolves around the "sacrifice" Nerra had to make in order to leave Germany, travel to her native country, and try out for Eurovision.

    Cunard (talk) 07:41, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I respectfully disagree with your analysis. The sources above don't appear to meet the requirements of being "independent of the subject" as previously discussed. To elaborate on your examples-
1 (in addition to being primarily an interview) and 2 show clear signs of information from press releases. The coverage provides the same information and some of the verbiage is exactly the same. Some of the same information:
... graduated from high school in Craiova and has a diploma in theater and film, completed in Bucharest.
... now a singer and lives in Dusseldorf (Germany).
... was persuaded to join in the "Voice of Germany" by her husband
... more important than his music career are twins around.
3. Clearly from a press release. Same exact language can be found in "star-gossip.com"., "EVZ.RO". and "1music.ro"..
4. Another article where the majority of the article is quotes from the subject. The non-quoted material shows signs of being provided by the subject-
... She was afraid...
... Now she is happy ...
... she wants ...
... I am so much on the road...
  • Per WP:GNG "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by the article's subject or someone affiliated with it. For example, advertising, press releases, autobiographies, and the subject's website are not considered independent." CBS527Talk 15:47, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not consider bylined articles from reputable news organizations to be non-independent of the subject. The articles contain overlapping biographical material but they also have different content.

    http://www.evz.ro/de-la-vocea-germaniei-la-eurovision-romania-povestea-ramonei-ner.html notes that the article was written by Alin Pătru, so it is likely the other websites, which do not have author information, are copying from it.

    There is sufficient biographical information in the non-quoted sections of the article to provide significant coverage.

    Cunard (talk) 05:19, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What we are talking about is far more than "overlapping biographical material", as in the cases of star-gossip.com, evz.ro,1music.ro and topromanesc.ro as well as a number of other sources available online, the exact same wording. Unless all the articles are plagiarized from some source, which, would automatically disqualify those as reliable sources, it is more likely from a press release which doesn't need attribution.
Since several of the aforementioned articles, including star-gossip.com(tabloid) and topromanesc.ro(blogul/blog) were published several weeks before Alin Pătru's evz.ro article it's very doubtful that they were copied from it. A byline in an article doesn't demonstrated that an article original material - this is a perfect example of that.
When the majority of an article is quotations from the subject it is very likely that the unquoted material was also supplied by the subject. The language in the unquoted sources you listed indicates this as well. Information such as where she was born or went to school, that her twins are more important than her career or who she has been on stage with may be interesting and may be used to support content in an article, but they do not contribute toward establishing the notability of a subject. CBS527Talk 16:00, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the third source were excluded, I consider the fourth source from the German publication to be a strong source. It is an international source (Ramona Nerra is Romanian) and it contains significant biographical information about her. That the source includes substantial quotes from her does not mean the rest of the article was not independently researched and verified. Cunard (talk) 03:22, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Except for Lakeshore East and Milton (which could be easily added), they do have station lists, actually. See Lakeshore West line#Station list; this is a wikitable format I developed and has been subsequently added to some of the other line articles. This already covers interchanges, and could easily be expanded to include the other items you rattled off. I'm interested in hearing your argument as to why it would be more appropriate to expand List of GO Transit stations to do this, instead of creating/expanding the tables in the line articles, or expanding GO Transit rail services. As for bus services, the tables in GO Transit bus services#Terminals, stations and carpool/park and ride lots already include type, parking spots, address location, coordinates, and other notes. Again, that table can be easily expanded to include the other items you mentioned, and I feel it is inappropriate to have a second, inferior and duplicate location for that info. --Natural RX 15:29, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Natural RX: All the information could be sorted in the same table if the list were to be kept and expanded, which could be useful (especially for opening dates and fare zones).

Well then we will have to agree to disagree that one table has much added value. I do not see how rail stations and bus terminals/stations/parking lots can be integrated well into one table.

  • Keep and expand. Like List of Metrolink (California) stations or List of London Underground stations and many others (un-collapse "Extended content" above), as oknazevad wrote there is a standard with station lists that has long been valued by the community as a convenient encyclopedic summery of key information on stations in a particular system. --Oakshade (talk) 04:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per above commenters. The difference between this and the Metrolink or London Underground lists isn't that GO Transit is inherently less valid in principle; it's that the Metrolink and London Underground lists both contain substantive content beyond just listing the stations' names — they both contain actual substantive introductions that go well beyond just restating the page title; they both contain system maps and photographs; they both list the stations in expanded tables that also include columns for supplementary details such as intermodal connections, opening dates and ridership statistics; they both contain reliable source references to support the content. I'd be perfectly okay with keeping this if it could be Heymanned up to the quality standard displayed by those lists — but in this form it's not even close to substantive or keepable. Bearcat (talk) 15:31, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Metrolink is an excellent comparison. They're both heavyweight diesel hub and spoke commuter systems with push-pull operations serving similarly sized metropolitan areas. That this article doesn't have the substantial content you're desiring is simply a matter of regular editing, not deletion. While we'd love to have all perfect articles now, not all articles are going to be top-notch quickly. There's no hurry. It's impossible to add that content to a deleted article. AFD is not a sub for article improvement. --Oakshade (talk) 05:38, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Lengthy station lists like this one should be kept independent from the main article about the system. What's been done with the list at GO Transit rail services is good - but it's the wrong place for that information. GO Transit rail services should contain a high-level overview of the rail system, including geography, history, operations, rolling stock, future, etc. The lengthy, complex list of individual stations is not appropriate for a high-level overview - it's appropriate for a standalone list. That's precisely why we have hundreds of standalone lists. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 20:26, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because I don't see any valid reason for deletion. The list is well populated with notable contents. The list of lists hatted above shows that it is not uncommon to group stations by provider. I also don't see why this would be merged, apart from making the main article longer. Laurdecl talk 03:06, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
What you're seeing now is a copying of content from GO Transit rail services to List of GO Transit stations. Some valid arguments against deletion have been raised, but this copy of content now makes it an ideal candidate for merging ("Duplicate: There are two or more pages on exactly the same subject, with the same scope."), and I was hoping this AfD could explore that. --Natural RX 13:53, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Circular reasoning. “The list should be expanded with more content”, but now that it has adequate content it should be merged back into the article it’s supposed to replace? Useddenim (talk) 21:04, 31 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I never advocated for this list being expanded. I had created the rail and bus articles and thought those were more appropriate, you're the one that expanded it and have advocated for keeping it. --Natural RX 00:52, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The assertion that simply because you are mentioned or written about externally from Wikipedia means that this on its own creates notability is something I do not agree with. The key elements to this article seem to be statements of two things. Firstly that the subject of the article is a comedian in Pakistan. Secondly that the comedian has received media coverage. Neither of those two components in of themselves appear to establish notability. Summarily, the articles core information to the reader attests that this is a man who is a comedian and has media coverage. Neither being a comedian or receiving news coverage seems to demonstrate notability of a living person in my mind. ὦiki-Coffee(talk to me!) (contributions) 22:25, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The presence of media coverage about subjects is a long-term, widespread norm on Wikipedia to establish notability. If you don't agree with notability guidelines, it comes across that you're basing notability on subjective, personal criteria. North America1000 22:27, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Northamerica1000: I dispute your assertion that Wikipedia's guidelines and or policies stipulate that the notability of a living person can be determined solely on news coverage. One would first have to ascertain the credibility and objectivity of the news sources themselves. Moreover, you would have to move to assess the WP:NPOV of news coverage, which is very rarely the N part of POV. Summarily, basing the notion of notability for a living person on News coverage is not only dangerous but is factually erroneous. This gives control to News outlets so that they may establish a persons notability merely on the basis of writing about that person rather than having a burden of proof on them to credibly establish notability. In my opinion, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and Not News. Merely being referenced by news agencies does not solely establish notability, it establishes coverage. ὦiki-Coffee(talk to me!)

  • Comment, as a comedian Shaikh's 'works' are his jokes, if these have been discussed/analysed by the newspaper articles then he is notable under WP:CREATIVE ie. "3.The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews."

That doesn't change that this must be closed as a merge, because that content is not in the current version of the parent article (and we want to make sure that it is); it just makes the merge easier to perform. And it's all the more reason this should have been fixed through normal editing; undoing WP:SPLITs by merging back and redirecting is not a function of deletion. postdlf (talk) 14:35, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. She's had two roles that were "significant" enough to potentially be the expected redirect target — Frontier is in an WP:XY competition with Blackstone, so redirecting to Frontier would be a POV violation. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when there's more solid reliable source coverage about her than has been shown here, but an actress doesn't clear WP:NACTOR just because multiple roles are listed — she clears NACTOR when she's properly shown to have garnered significant non-trivial media coverage for those roles, and she just hasn't gotten there yet.

As per WP:TVSHOW: "...a television series is not eligible for an article until its scheduling as an ongoing series has been formally confirmed by a television network." The subject of this article makes no mention of an airing network, let alone a premiere date! In other words, this series may actually be in pre-production, and thus does not qualify for an article. In addition, the lone "sourcing" used for this article is a sparse (and relatively new) IMDb entry – no other sourcing, to verify the notability of this series, is used. Finally, created by an editor that may have a WP:COI. Needs deleting. --IJBall (contribstalk) 17:54, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There seems to be a real phenomenon to be covered, and I think there should be a Wikipedia article about it, but I don't find it yet. Let's find or create that article now. Then the AFD can be concluded by mentioning the proposed-or-whatever TV series about it, and redirecting to the article about the phenom itself.

  • Strong keep. Manohar Shetty is absolutely notable per Wikipedia guidelines. Normally with non-Western poets the issue is finding reliable citations in English proving their notability. That is not an issue with Shetty. For example, he has an entry in the Encyclopedia of Post-Colonial Literatures in English along with being covered in The English Language Poetry of South Asians, A History of Indian Poetry in English, and many other books. I added some of these citations to the article but there are still many more to be added.

I chopped and cleaned up the article a bit, and added three new refs. Over the years he has won many industry awards. See this Adweek mention of an award for his directing, for example. He has also won awards from the Japan Media Arts Festival, which is highly prestigious. I think it's clear a keeper, but that the CV awards listing has to be chopped down so that this article is not merely a CV.104.163.144.60 (talk) 04:18, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

These are not just "some awards", but D&AD Wood and Graphite Pencils (yes, unusual names for awards), a Clio Gold Award, an Epica Gold Award, two Cannes Lions Gold Awards, and LIA Gold and Bronze Awards.

  • Comment After having done some fairly intensive searching, I'm still not sure about this. It is apparently an autobiography, having been started by user:Jocray and then further edited by User:Jojocray, both SPA's. Beyond the expected usual event listings and blog coverage and PR sources, there are numerous passing mentions to his work as a film composer in New Zealand films (see, e.g., [20]) and a PhD thesis also discusses him in this context. I am placing this information here for the closing admin to evaluate, as I am not convinced that this rises to the level of significant coverage in WP:RS but neither am I convinced that this is so lacking as to !vote delete.

A minor Polish celebrity, and possibly on the wrong side of borderline when it comes to notability. Article created by WP:SPA (likely, paid-for promo). The subject is an expert in promotion, motivation speeches, etc., and the article is primarily a list of minor awards or nominations, but not a single one appears to establish notability. Neither is it clear from his very minor appearances in few music vidoes / voice roles in video games etc. He has two Internet (YouTube) talk shows. A bunch of passing coverage and mentions, and only one decently reliable and in dept-source: [21] - from a recently established Polish magazine pl:Pierwszy Milion, related to the Polish edition of Forbes. Still, WP:NBIO requires that the subject is shown to have received coverage from numerous sources, and that I don't see: lot of minor PR/etc. awards, mentions in passing, single reliable in-depth source. I think it's not enough (WP:TOOSOON? Maybe in few years he will get some more serious awards, or his shows will get on TV and he will become notable as a creator, etc.). Thoughts?

  • Comment - "Spending more time" makes the assumption that I did not spend time to find the sources that you did. In fact, I saw each reference you listed above. If you note view the nomination again, you will see that it is not about being sources, but the depth of those sources. Most of what you presented are advertisements and the rest are brief mentions. We need more than brief mentions that verify the existence in order to show notability. --CNMall41 (talk) 17:25, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Plenty of sources out there that establish notability. Article is poor though. I reviewed every one of the links posted by Gab4gab above. It looks like the links were the result of a search for "Avon Inflatables". Some of the sources listed fail the criteria (an Ad!) but, that said, a number that meet the criteria such as the BBC news link and the multiple magazine articles. Thank you for putting in the work. -- HighKing++ 11:53, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - The article in its current state does not pass GNG. There are very little sources cited. Class455 (talk|stand clear of the doors!) 23:28, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment & more sources The reason for deletion given was notability. Notability is determined by existing sources, not the current state of the article. The company produced products for consumer, comercial and miltary uses. There is a depth of coverage making it possible to write more than the brief stub that exists today. There are sources with more than brief mentions. The BBC article in particular is rather lengthy. Brief mentions should not be ignored. Articles written about inflatable boats during this company's years of production will frequently mention Avon Inflatables. That is an indication of notability. I suppose there will be differing views regarding whether a source is an ad. For example this [34] Great Gear article discusses inflatables in general and then goes into details about design distinctions of several competing brands including Avon. Doesn't look like an ad to me but I understand that opinions may differ. When I say that “searching turns up a large number of sources... spending more time could easily turn up more” I mean that by spending more time I could easily turn up more. Here are more sources:

This book contains a great deal of material on Avon including contributions to improved design features over the years. This book has a paragraph and more on Avon. This Crusing World has articles on RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) that includes coverage of Avon. This Crusing World Guide To Inflatable Tenders article includes coverage of Avon. This book covers Avon Inflatables. This book mentions Avon Inflables in coverage of Materials for Inflatables and Hovercraft Designs. An article on factory expansion. Air polution article. US Navy inflatables order article. Dafen Park expansion article. Sources exist to expand the article. I believe there is more significant coverage not yet found. Gab4gab (talk) 16:36, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I added some content to the article today using additional sources. Gab4gab (talk) 16:52, 20 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Gab4gab: My main issue is with difference between the amount of sources and the depth of those sources. There are many sources and there is no denying that fact. The problem is that these sources are mainly mentions of the company and not about the company itself. However, the criteria also says that if the depth is not substantial (which it isn't), then using multiple independent sources can establish notability. Based on your cleanup, those sources are now evident. Thanks for taking the time to do so.--CNMall41 (talk) 16:30, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable person. No evidence of the significant coverage in reliable, independent sources that the General Notability Guideline demands. WP:BEFORE results were a mix of routine business announcements (PR) and biographical entries on corporate websites. Exemplo347 (talk) 01:35, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Bloomberg article is just a Bio and the SMH article is a re-printed Bloomberg press release.

There are so many things wrong with this article it is hard to know where to start.

The entire article consists of copy and pasted from this source. Appears to be properly licensed so cannot simply be deleted as a copyright violation.

We do have some articles that are almost entirely a copy of a source in the public domain, notably copies of articles from An earlier version of Encyclopaedia Britannica. However, by definition those were articles created to be standalone coverage of some subject. This is not such an example. While some of the material in this article may be a useful source for a general article, merely copying a few paragraphs from the middle of an article is really going to create a standalone article.

We expect a decent article to start with a well-defined subject. This one does not. The purported subject is globalization and education, but the first sentence suggests that the subject matter is the relationship between these two. However it doesn't contain a proper definition of the subject.

The tone of the article is intensely political. While that we should not negate the value of this document as a contribution to a neutral discussion, by using the text from this source and no other source, the reader is not presented with a balance neutral discussion of issues. While one might argue that this could be a starting point for an article, it should be developed off-line and much more extensively before even being considered as an article.

The tone is all wrong. Statements such as "The changes taking place have implications for education and signal the emergence of a new global context for learning." are political conclusions, which have a place in an intergovernmental advocacy document, but have no place in an encyclopedia.


As an aside, please note that the issues are broader than this single article. The sole editor of this article has been copying and pasting other sections of this report into a number of other articles. In some cases, that might be fully appropriate, as an added relevant piece of information in the context of the larger discussion but I think all of these addition should be scrutinized closely.

  • The article creator is "a consultant currently working with the Wikimedian in Residence at UNESCO, @John Cummings: I've alerted him. If there is a problem -- here and/or elsewhere -- with how passages from this report are being used to create articles, as the nominator suggests, John should be made aware. I also think it's incumbent upon John, in his role, to comment, one way or another -- as new articles such as Inclusive education in Latin America are continuing to be created, on his watch. thanks, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:52, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I don't see John making any case to keep this particular article and I think the nominator has offered a persuasive rationale why these passages picked from a UNESCO article about the future of education don't amount to an encyclopedic treatment of the article topic. This isn't an individual editor creating a shaky stub about a topic, it's a UN agency doing so, and so I guess I have a slightly higher expectation. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:07, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The article does not fit into any of the deletion criteria, as Nev1 has said the tone needs some work but this is not a reason to delete the page. We are trying a new process so there are going to be some less than perfect results as we refine the mechanism of copying and altering text from external sources so its fits with the style of Wikipedia.

  • Delete. Fails WP:GNG. There is no entity called "Globalization and education," as a program, getting widespread, in-depth coverage. This is simply an essay based on a pamphlet. See WP:WWIS. SW3 5DL (talk) 18:18, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • In fairness, I guess it doesn't have to be a program. There is also currently Globalization and disease, which examines the impact of x on y. But I agree that this never rises above a short, somewhat disjointed essay based on a pamphlet. Globalization does touch on education. Has there been referenced content added there, where the larger community might be able to judge its applicability? I hope the goal here is not to spawn a lot of spinoff or fork articles using UNESCO's content, as opposed to integrating into the existing article structure. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:50, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To be even more fair, Globalization and disease is synthetic. They've cobbled together sources on diseases like smallpox, and created an 'article' with a longer essay. Reads like a high school paper. These are promotional pieces, not genuine encyclopedia articles. There's nothing specific, it's just another globalization advert. SW3 5DL (talk) 23:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks
--John Cummings (talk) 22:06, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, John, point taken, but it's still an essay based on a book, (of essays), that is intended to promote a viewpoint. This is an encyclopedia, not a free advert, 'post your notice here' website. And that's what the 'article' reads like. What it really is, is the UN promoting itself. They know better than to use WP for that. Doesn't stop them because they're looking out for their agenda. But it's our job to look out for WP's agenda, and essays and promotional material, even from the UN, does not belong here. SW3 5DL (talk) 23:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Noted. And what do you think of the idea of starting by adding relevant referenced material to main articles such as globalization, which does touch on education, as opposed to immediately forking off to spin off articles like this? (My !vote remains as is). Shawn in Montreal (talk) 22:47, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

queried speedy delete. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:35, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

* Strong Keep - While this page is currently nominated for delation due to the fact a similar article had been posted months prior, upon reviewing the previous deletion discussion which came to an end on May 17th, 2016, one can see the reasoning behind the deletion was arguably a case of WP:TOOSOON due to the fact the articles about this subject were not as reputable as they needed to be in order for the page to remain in the database and the largest reason for keeping the page in the last discussion was to help establish a differentiation between two artists who both were going by the same name (it was established that neither were notable and therefore it was not Wikipedia's job to help differentiate the two). Yet, upon further observation the revised (and now current) version of this page does not mention that dispute, and instead stands on it's own, with a firm backing of reputable sources such as Billboard, Alternative Press (music magazine), and The Fader; therefore showing it no longer qualifies for deletion under the case of WP:TOOSOON. With the information stated above, as well of proof of two nationwide tours, features in prominent publications, and multiple musical appearances on TV shows airing on prime time networks (see: Fox, The CW, Showtime), it is obvious to see the previous reason for the deletion no longer applies and thus WRENN arguably should stay in the Wikipedia database.

  • Delete WP:TOOSOON, article subject needs patience, so far the references indicate existence rather than notability. The appearances in Billboard, Alternative Press, Fader, etc. are merely announcements of releases with linked video--pretty standard stuff these days. It does not represent significant coverage that would convey notability at the present time. I agree that at this point a wikipedia page for this subject is essentially promotional.

  • Weak Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Bands often get a keep with more spurious coverage than this, but I don't think there's enough yet. The WP:NMUSIC guidelines are outdated for new artists, and only people with a major understanding of the nuances of music publicity are really likely to understand that almost anybody willing to pay for a PR representative will be covered by some notable sites, maybe even the odd newspaper. For me, if an artist isn't being interviewed and given features, the press isn't enough. This is just new video/stream spam, par for the course as Shelby above points out.

Kiehn served honorably but without meeting WP:SOLDIER or WP:GNG. He does not appear in the index of Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose. There is no credit for a role in the television series in IMDb (problems with that site acknowledged). Kiehn was killed in action in February 1945.

  • Weak keep - Kiehn's role in the company and especially his death is frequently discussed in books, but his name is usually given as "Bill Kiehn" (see Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL). This is one in a series of AfDs about members of the Band of Brothers, and I'm unclear how to think about notability in these cases. The individuals feature in a number of historical and fictionalized accounts, and short profiles of their lives seem to exist in reliable sources. I understand that they are mostly notable for one thing and few/none meet NSOLDIER, but it seems to me their notability has persisted for a long time, especially since the movie Saving Private Ryan in 1998 and Band of Brothers (the book in 1993, the miniseries in 2001). That said, Google Books results suggest Kiehn only receives in depth coverage in the two Brotherton books currently cited in the article. I don't see in depth discussion of him elsewhere (but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist). Smmurphy(Talk) 19:53, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I am the nominator on the recent AfDs; Evans and Haney were not mine although I was on the side of deleting in both cases. I'm working from the Band of Brothers miniseries, which appears on every Easy Company related page. In one sense, that template is a guide to the ten episodes of TV and nothing more. If we're only talking about the TV production, we should delete all the references to Ambrose, Brotherton, Ooms, Alexander and Kingseed (authors/co-authors all) and work on describing only the characters. I don't spend a lot of time on TV-oriented pages, most it would seem most of the characters barely qualify because they're largely forgettable. If we're talking about real people, no one one the list qualifies under WP:SOLDIER except Robert Sink and he only because he was later promoted to brigadier general (and eventually to lieutenant general) after the events in Ambrose's book. Some of those who don't qualify under SOLDIER may well qualify under WP:GNG because of what came after WW II or other factors. Richard Winters was an inspiration to his men after the War. Some of the men worked for the CIA and were involved in the Vietnam War. I think Norman Dike was originally a hatchet job by Ambrose and the men of Easy. I'm beginning to wonder about Herbert Sobel. There are more AfDs to come.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 22:56, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you for your reply. I bring up the book, movie, and miniseries in order to contextualize the rise in popularity of material on the company. In my opinion, these figures might not have articles on them without that popularity. In a sense, they are a sort of fancruft, but maybe that is the wrong word. However, given the popularity is there, the articles do not seem to fail the three core policies of WP:V, WP:OR, or WP:POV, so the issue is GNG and the best interest of our readers. Further, the sources seem to me to be basically reliable, so the GNG question has to do with depth. I agree that not every member of Easy Company is automatically suitable for inclusion on wikipedia. I'm not sure where the line is, but for me, this individual seems to have been a substantial character in a number of different tellings of the story of the company. Smmurphy(Talk) 01:55, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Fancruft" may be a good word. Without the series and, before it, the book we wouldn't be having this conversation because many of these guys were no better soldiers than men we've never heard of. They're also a lot better than some. I don't know if we have a page about the criminal enterprises in Paris operated by Americans who had deserted; that casts a whole new light on the "greatest generation." <sigh> I really think the (non-existent) "BoB Project" can be improved by saying less. After all, people who want to read about the series can go to the Wikia project, which is actually pretty good as wikis go.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 17:03, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I'm striking my !vote. I've been thinking about this a bit more and looking over the other members of the company, and I think a possible alternative is to treat BoB as a "franchise". We have lists of characters of other franchises, such as List of characters in the Garfield franchise or whatever similar franchise list you like, but it turns out that having an especially long article, E Company, 506th Infantry Regiment (United States) pretty much covers most of what one might want to know from such a list. A link to a roster could someday be added to that page, and a list of non-notable individuals isn't really necessary (and is against policies and consensuses). Many individuals would still have their own page, though, and be listed at that page. Here are my guesses at what my criteria would be if more BoB individuals were sent to AfD:
    • An individual may be of enough historical significance that they would meet GNG even without the BoB "franchise" publications. For instance, Donald Malarkey may be borderline notable due to having a local political career, being a public speaker, and having numerous profiles of him as one of the last surviving members of the group. I don't think there are many of these individuals, but a few, probably all of them make for suitable pages.
    • An individual may just miss SOLDIER #1, but arguably meet SOLDIER #4 or #5, such as Richard Winters, William Guarnere, and possibly some of the company commanders. They might not be known about without the BoB franchise, but BoB is reliable enough and gives quite a bit of depth about their military actions as well as some personal life background. I think most of these could make for suitable pages.
    • An individual may be included as a character and be mentioned in non-BoB franchise materials and have had a somewhat public career. An example is David Kenyon Webster, who published some writings and his diary was posthumously published. Because this extra information passes V, and their presence in "franchise" publications is in depth, I think these can make for suitable pages.
    • A related group to the previous two are individuals who are only mentioned in non-BoB franchise materials because they are one of the last surviving members of the group. An example is the now deleted Leo Boyle. For these, I would !vote weak keep for at least some, but am not sure.
    • It could be argued that the rest are notable only as characters in the "franchise", and thus would fit in a list of characters. Such lists is a bit crufty, but that can be ok. I will not be creating one, and if one were created, it would have to be done with care given the consensus at the E Company talk page and at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Easy Company (506 PIR) veterans. I would probably not !vote delete for these, as I couldn't be sure that they do not pass on one of the above criteria in an offline capacity, but I would understand why they were up at AfD and I would not, generally, oppose their deletion. Kiehn seems to fit into this group.
  • This is just an explanation of why I am striking my !vote and an attempt to express my feelings in advance of anticipated related AfDs. I hope it is understood that I feel these criteria are within the spirit and letter of existing Wikipedia:Deletion policy, is meant to be helpful, and is not an attempt to create new deletion criteria. I am also adding a related comment at Jim in Georgia/GAArmyVet's talk page. Thanks. Smmurphy(Talk) 18:29, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: If we are to treat BoB as a franchise, then we need to edit all the pages and strike all references to the biographies of the men involved. Anything that happened before or after the war, except for things mentioned in the voiceovers at the end of the tenth episode, becomes moot. Even the reminiscences of the real men are historical rather than the historical fiction of the series, which compressed characters, created characters (the Belgian nurse), and reassigned tasks performed from one character to another. Then we can selectively created pages for the men who rate them under general notability (Sink is the only person who qualifies under WP:SOLDIER (and, yes, I know it's an essay). Winters may be arguable).--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 00:46, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Kiehn doesn't appear by name in the series, so we can do a speedy delete on his page.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 00:49, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • [Sorry in advance for the long reply] By franchise, I mean that while the books are more or less reliable sources for the historical individuals, they can be treated as a something more akin to a single thing. N is built on three parts, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, and WP:V. V is satisfied when WP:RS are used. I think these books and their authors are more or less RS. NOR is satisfied when coverage is in depth and not primary (being in depth enough to write with sufficiently detail also allows an article to avoid WP:NOT/WP:INDISCRIMINATE), which is satisfied for many of these individuals on the basis of these books. NPOV might be trickier. These individuals are well known because one author thought their story was a good case to show the general point of what life was like for WWII soldiers (or something like that). To say that their case is representative is, then, the POV of that author. If another author agrees, then there is a question whether we have multiple points of view. If we treat all of the books as a "franchise", that is think of subsequent books are retellings/sequels/spin-offs, some by different authors, then all we have is the POV of the initial author and POVs that are somewhat derivative. Thus, an independent source would help to show the individual is well known, even if they are still only known for being a part of the franchise. Of course, if an individual played an important role in a historic event, then while we must take care in how we present the POV of the author on that event, the individual's notability can be established within the franchise, or even within a single book (NB, if they played a significant role in a battle, something like a silver star could be akin to a second POV on their importance).
I don't think this is the same as treating them as a single source, nor do I think that the collection should be treated as fictional. Rather, I would say that the contribution to the notability of a figure which has in depth coverage in a BoB related non-fiction book must be dealt with in a nuanced way. Smmurphy(Talk) 02:26, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think we're arguing policy over notability when we should be asking whether we need a page on a soldier who enlisted, served, and died in an artillery barrage whose probable highest award was a Good Conduct Medal. There were some interesting people in Easy Company who went on to serve in Korea and Vietnam, helped develop our special operations capability, and worked for the CIA. It's just that Kiehn isn't one of them.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 20:48, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep You tried deletion on this article already once, and I don't see anything that's changed. Political scandals can be extremely graphic, or as seen here, benign and clean reading for the whole family; this is well-sourced and outside of three edits since the first was closed, the nominator has become a WP:SPA pushing for deletion of this article.

  • Comment 2: It seems that Moxie Media (currently a redlink) is in the news enough to warrant an article; i am not sure though as it is my impression that PR firms' articles are a general problem area. I would imagine the firm doesn't like this Wikipedia article existing, but it is factual AFAICT, and the Wikipedia article doesn't appear in the first few page of Google search results on "Moxie Media". I suspect the firm could have put effort into ensuring that. Some more eyeballs on this from regular Wikipedia editors who are knowledgeable about PR firm issues and paid editing and the like would be helpful, but offhand I don't know who to invite to take a look here. --doncram 03:13, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I assume that an editor working in Swedish would find more discussion, but I do think that the article as it now stands passes all normal standards, and is, both encyclopedic and useful as documenting an early example of the problems of immigrant integration now confronting Sweden.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:03, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Looks like something sourced and sufficiently notable. This page could be merged with 2017 Rinkeby riots if there are sources covering them as related events. My very best wishes (talk) 00:29, 26 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: per nom. I oppose a redirect, which would just get knocked down on WP:XY grounds; how would this plausibly be a more appropriate redirect term than to Hootie and the Blowfish? Ravenswing 03:23, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect to Blowfish (disambiguation), and change the entry for the publication there to link to the University. The dsiambiguation page would seem the most appropriate target. --Michig (talk) 08:03, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
