  • Delete. Just a shop. nn. Szzuk (talk) 21:29, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm hesitant, as there is plenty in the section on Rupert Lycett Green. But I think it really fits well on Green's page, and doesn't need it's own article. = paul2520 (talk) 04:09, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Green himself is notable, the shop isn't. The citations are dead/empty but for one to a book that I can't verify as I don't have the book of course. But, none of the provide cites nor searches of the web turn up anything of note about the shop other than it was owned/operated by Green. Nothing in the article speaks to the shop's notability, and nothing in it is of use to the Green article that isn't already on the Green article, except for the picture. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:25, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. The picture would work well in the section on Green's page, especially since there is not yet a photo in that article. = paul2520 (talk) 15:26, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I wouldn't be against userfying this, as I am sure some of the content is salvageable and usable in existing articles with a bit of editing. Unfortunately both this WikiEd participant and their course leader seem not to understand the difference between an encyclopedia article and an essay. As the nom says this falls foul of WP:NOTESSAY, and imo also WP:CRYSTAL (especially point 3). – filelakeshoe (t / c) 22:33, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There may be some salvageable content, but this particular article isn't where to put it. I'd question the merits of userfication for the same reason, to be honest. I do share the concerns regarding the confusion about articles versus essays, too. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 23:38, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this is clearly against WP:NOTESSAY and WP:CRYSTAL as already shown above. Though I don't actually care to know how WikiEd project works but the project management has more problem that needs addressing than the newbie creators. For instance Data Politics, Racial Identity/Class in Colombia (Post-Abolition), Digital Divide in Colombia, The Digital Divide in Myanmar and many more are created in similar essay style from WikiEd Project and basically not conforming with many Wikipedia guidelines. These and many I know of have been either deleted or draftified in few hours of their creation this will only discourage the newbies creator when they understand there Adticles are deleted sooner than they thought of.  — Ammarpad (talk) 00:06, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. Most of the people arguing to keep simply make assertions that WP:GNG is met, without explaining how. The strongest argument is from User:Fenix down, who gives a detailed analysis of why the suggested sources are insufficient.

There's a side-thread here about how WP:NFOOTY handles women, but that's something that should get hashed out in another forum. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:29, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't notable: doesn't pass WP:NFOOTY as she hasn't played in a fully-pro league and hasn't represented a senior international team. Doesn't pass WP:GNG and sources referenced are WP:ROUTINE.

The C of E removed PROD, saying the forign language sources adequately cover GNG [sic]. However looking through those sources, the three first ones ([1], [2], [3]) are WP:ROUTINE (when the player joined/left a club) and are about a paragraph long. The last one (from Morgunblaðið) might be a relevant source, but as far as I know one source doesn't satisfy WP:GNG --SuperJew (talk) 21:16, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete' per NFOOTY failure. Can be recreated if she makes an international appearance or plays in the WSL when it becomes fully-professional next season(?). Number 57 14:09, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Number 57: Could you please expand regarding if the article passes or fails WP:GNG? --SuperJew (talk) 17:40, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As per my comments here, I don't think GNG is usefully applicable to football bios due the blanket coverage the sport gets – if we went solely on GNG then we'd have articles on hundreds if not thousands of semi-pro players in England alone (a case could probably be quite easily made for most National League players given the BBC Sport coverage of the league and local newspapers), so IMO we have to draw a line in the sand somewhere, and playing internationally or in a fully-pro league is a fair place to draw that line. Of course there will be some players who do fail WP:NFOOTY but are notable in reality, but generally they would need to have some kind of seriously special claim to notability to get an article – i.e. long-standing recognition of their name (Sonny Pike – a player famous as a child who never made it, but still gets national newspaper coverage years after he disappeared from football would be an example). Number 57 21:55, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:GNG and the fact she plays in a top-flight women's league. NFOOTY fails women athletes in the vast majority of top leagues as it only includes two one active league in the entire world - when in the real world there are more than 70 top leagues. Why aren't those leagues listed anywhere on WP:FPL? One would need to look at the edit history of the essay as well as who makes the additions and deletions. As for the WP:GNG guideline which takes precedence over sport-specific notability essays, I'm seeing more than routine coverage. Hmlarson (talk) 15:36, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Hmlarson: Could you please expand in how you see the sources as more than routine coverage? --SuperJew (talk) 15:45, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@SuperJew: Sure, would you be willing to acknowledge that WP:FOOTY fails the majority of women's players in your rationale up top (as you have in the past)? Why not just say GNG if that's your rationale - because clearly WP:FOOTY is irrelevant here. The Washington Post considers her notable enough to include in their weekly reports about American soccer players playing abroad. ref Yes, that's routine coverage of the The Washington Post considering the FA WSL notable. The BBC, too. The Wikipedia Football Project notability essay? "Eww girls" is my interpretation.
Examples of non-routine coverage currently included in the article for this specific player are: the Kieran Thievam piece, She Kicks Magazine, and the mbl.is article. Looks like she also has French nationality. I'll add that to the article or did you want to? Hmlarson (talk)
I mentioned both WP:NFOOTY and GNG as they are both applicable here per our current notability guidelines. I agree with you that WP:NFOOTY doesn't service women soccer correctly, but that is a different discussion. That's an interesting point about the Washington Post's routine coverage, but it should be brought up in a discussion about FAWSL notability and inclusion in WP:NFOOTY.
As I mentioned above I also included the mbl.is in non-routine. Regarding the other two, they seem to me routine new player coverages at the beginning of the season when there's not much else to write about. Maybe I'm misunderstanding WP:ROUTINE and anyways would like to hear more opinions here. --SuperJew (talk) 16:32, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ROUTINE is part of the Notability criteria for Events guideline. This is a biography. WP:GNG doesn't mention it. Hmlarson (talk) 18:16, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@GiantSnowman: Could you please expand on why you think it fails WP:GNG? --SuperJew (talk) 17:40, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
SuperJew, be careful of WP:VOTESTACK/WP:CANVASS. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 18:02, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@The C of E: This is not at all either of those. Just creating a more thorough discussion with actual arguments. As you can see above I also asked Hmlarson to expand on the keep viewpoint, so hardly swaying the discussion. --SuperJew (talk) 18:26, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Hmlarson Passes WP:GNG.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 10:59, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Fails NFOOTY as has not played or managed senior international football nor played or managed in a fully professional league. No indication that subject has garnered significant reliable coverage for any other achievements to satisfy GNG. Keep votes above seem to be confusing the number of references in an article with an indication of GNG. If we look at these sources individually:
  1. ksi.is - the Icelandic football federation, a clear primary source and nothing more than a stat summary anyway
  2. UEFA - again a clear primary source an nothing more than a stat summary
  3. Sunderland Echo - Routine transfer talk from local media dealing with a number of signings, not significant coverage
  4. OCRegister - one mention by name, no discussion. Absolutely not significant coverage of the player in any way shape or form
  5. MaxPreps - nothing more than a stat summary
  6. Equalizer Soccer - brief pen pic in a wider article outlining players to watch out for. Minimal coverage and useable encyclopedic content
  7. Palloliitto - essentially no coverage, 25 word article. Cannot conceivably indicate GNG
  8. Visir.is - very brief match summary. Does not discuss the player in detail. Not suitable for GNG.
  9. Thorsport.is - Routine transfer coverage, very short article, essentially confirmation of signing and one brief quote from her manager. Little to support GNG.
  10. shekicks.net - actual interview with the player. Suitable source for GNG but needs more
  11. Times Free Press - Routine match reporting. Mentions she scored a goal. No other coverage. Clearly not significant coverage.
  12. Guardian - article about a completely different subject, very brief mention at end of her signing for Sunderland
  13. Kaffid.is - very brief routine mention of her move away from Iceland. Almost no encyclopedic content
  14. MBL.is - essentially a duplication of the previous source. Slightly longer but only because it includes a brief discussion on her new team's season. No additional encyclopedic content
  15. MBL.is - brief interview with the player on her departure from Iceland.
  16. Soccerway - stat site
TL;DR - This is a nice looking article full of references. Unfortunately bar two brief interviews with the player, all the references are very brief mentions of the player either in routine transfer talk and match reporting, or worse simply stat sites. There is simply no indication that this player has generated significant coverage, namely, per WP:SIGCOV: coverage that addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content [and] is more than a trivial mention. It is a simple statement of fact that individuals claiming they see more than routine coverage are fundamentally mistaken. Fenix down (talk) 13:22, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I located this which would satisfy WP:GNG. Additionally, WP:FPL indicates the Women's league she belongs to will become fully professional in 2018 which would satisfy WP:NFOOTY. I don't see the point of deleting the article and waiting a very short period of time until it could be created again. Operator873CONNECT 07:48, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Firstly how on earth does that link indicate GNG, there's almost no content on her at all, it's just a match summary across a number of leagues and as far as I can see she is covered in precisely one sentence. This is the very definition of trivial coverage noted by WP:SIGCOV as not supporting GNG. Furthermore the league she plays in will become fully professional according to plans next season, not at the turn of the year. We don't create articles in anticipation of notability. Fenix down (talk) 08:48, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Domdeparis: Per WP:MULTIAFD, bundling AfDs should occur only at the start or near the start of the debate, ideally before any substantive discussion. Since we're already about midway through the 7-day listing period for Winking (company) and several editors have already made comments here related solely to the Winking (company) article, I don't think bundling a new article in at this point is appropriate. Do you think you could start a new AfD for the Print&Share article instead of bundling it into this one? Thanks, Mz7 (talk) 02:07, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Notability is beyond providing the reliable sources for each statement. (I have no comment on whether this has actually happened or not.) The narrative of this article seems like kebob without meat; it delivers basic info that are necessary for every article about a company (analogous to a skewer of a kebob). But nothing beyond that. —Codename Lisa (talk) 15:28, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral. The company's long history and their presence at the start of PC computing in Belgium in 1990s seem to offer sufficient significance for the article to be kept. On the other hand, poor outcome of Google test, their website's Alexa rank only at 1.5 million, and apparent shortage of online mentions raise eyebrows when talking about IT business. Mabye someone from the Belgium IT world could share their opinion? — kashmiri TALK 12:58, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I would say that the WP:ALEXA ranking is not an indicator of their notability as we are not considering the notability of a website but a company and the website that you are talking about is that of the product print&share and not the company's site which is rated at 12 million. The problem is that the print&share website makes almost no mention of winking just at the very bottom of the page where it says "Winking 2017 . Designed by Winking for Ricoh . Contact us". I looked at their website and I believe that it is only aimed at Dutch speakers as the English and French versions are very very poorly translated (very shoddy machine translations) and for a company that has been around for nearly 20 years with international products I think this is also a reason to raise eyebrows.

  • Delete References fail the criteria for establishing notability. While the references might appear in reliable source, they are not intellectually independent.

This largely unsourced contribution of WP:OR fails GNG. Article is sourced to a personal blog.

  • Keep You kindly found a second source for the article, and I have found four further Arabic sources, including a very good one from the website of the Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq. I think you will agree that the article now has ample sources to evidence notability. I have added three further sources for a total of 9 separate sources clearly establishing the subjects notability. Kuching7102 (talk) 22:20, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've nominated a lot of pages you've created for deletion so I'm not going to go through this with each one, however, once again - simply finding any mention of a person somewhere on the web and slapping up a link to it in the article does not count as sourcing and notability is not established by volume of mentions. I'm not going to go through each of these one by one as a pattern is emerging that you're just shotgunning websites into an article once it's AfD'ed; for instancee, your Newsweek "source" doesn't even mention the subject of the article once. Your other "sources" - like Al-Rased - do not appear to be RS, which may be why they're not currently used on any of WP's 5.5 million articles except ones you've authored [7]. Drowning an article in websites to make it look well-referenced and to exhaust anyone trying to verify them is, at best, disruptive. Chetsford (talk) 00:43, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Chetsford, if you nominate a page for deletion, you DO have to go through everything. That is the whole point of this process.
Now I pointed to the Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq source, which is an eulogy for the subject, and establishes notability because this is a major organisation in Iraq, indeed it has its own Wikipedia page here.
Now, The newsweek article DOES mention the subject "One neighbor says al-Baghdadi was supervised by two prominent clerics (now deceased): Sheikh Subhi al-Saarai and Sheikh Adnan al-Ameen." Now I'll be generous and say you missed it because of their typo, but his name, Subhi al-Samarai, is there.
Further, the al-rased.net source is a fairly extensive history of Subhi al-Samarai.
As indeed is http://assalamu-alayka.tv/ar/detail/425 a biography of the subject
I have found the solid sourcing for this page you wanted, and instead of accepting it, you are trying your best to slander perfectly good sources
The newsweek article is actually vitally important, because in addition to the profile of the subject by the american academic, this is an English source that points out the subject taught Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. So he is the teacher of the leader of ISIS, and very influential upon him in his religious ideas actually, and he is not notable?! Of course Subhi al-Samarai is notable
Kuching7102 (talk) 03:37, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Great, I've now gone through them all and your additions are not RS. The exception is a one-sentence mention in Newsweek. As Johnpacklambert notes in another one of the many AfDs of your articles active now, "The notion of notavbility is that a person is widely studied." [8]. A one-sentence mention does not rise to that level. Chetsford (talk) 04:11, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How is an eulogy by the Association of Muslim Scholars in Iraq official website not a reliable source?
How are al-rased.net and albasrah.net, which both provide biographies of the subject, not reliable sources?
Why is http://assalamu-alayka.tv/ar/detail/425, not a reliable source, yet another biography of the subject?
These are all reliable sources covering the subject extensively. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuching7102 (talkcontribs) 04:34, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This is notable figure in Iraqi Salafi movement and has received wide coverage enough to establish WP:GNG. Most sources are really to be found in Arabic in Mideast Arab channels programs. Even now the article is well referenced. Plus, any article that contain sources from Newsweek and icct.nl we can not really make generalization that the article is sourced to personal blog even if some source appears new to us.

  • Delete Keep -- and please note that the claim of notability is not that Humble Hearts is the first school for the deaf, but the first bilingual school for the deaf, a stretch for notability in my view. The page, unreferenced and short, nevertheless has conflicting assertions (date of establishment for example). The school is covered just fine in Deaf education in Kenya, which itself is a pluperfect copypasta mess. Rhadow (talk)
  • Weak delete. Notability has nothing to do with being the first of something. Instead, we determine notability by significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. I found this but couldn't find any additional independent coverage. I'll happily change to a keep if more coverage can be found. Pburka (talk) 00:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • What? -- Being first at something is not notable? Chuck Yeager was the first to break the sound barrier. Now, quick, tell me who the second was. The Wright Brothers were the first to fly.

  • Redirect. I find enough to indicate that Humble Hearts School at least exists (or existed), and there may be more information in regional print publications that are not available online. It's hard to imagine there isn't more out there, especially considering the accidental bulldozing. A redirect to Deaf education in Kenya would help channel editors to improve the more general article, and Humble Hearts can later be split off if reliable sources are found. Jack N.

The result was redirect to Search for extraterrestrial intelligence. OK, consensus appears to be that the sources in the article are not sufficient to justify an article and that other sources also don't. Secondly, one or two merge targets have been proposed but there is apparently little material worth merging.

No reason to believe that this individual wasn't involved in a notable SETI program at the level of acting director. However, per WP:NOTINHERITED we need more evidence that he himself is notable. The statement that he was "one of the first people to be shown the Wow! signal" is typical of this syndrome. He clearly wasn't the inventor of Kanade–Lucas–Tomasi feature tracker (KLT) either but is he a notable implementor according to our definition of notability?

  • Delete While he may have done some academic work, for now he didn't met criteria for inclusion. And even WP:ACADEMIC acknowledges "Many scientists, researchers, philosophers and other scholars (collectively referred to as "academics" for convenience) are notably influential in the world of ideas without their biographies being the subject of secondary sources." This is the case here. For instance; ref 1 and 2 are both used to show he merely attended a university. Refs 3,4,5 and 6 all are about the SETI program not Dixon. Ref 1 is again called in writing section twice, ref 2 one time. The remaining sections upto writing section are clearly talking of SETI programs not biographical content of certain director. WP:ACADEMIC not met. The refs in the writing section showed he published some articles in newspapers (Glasgow Daily Time, The Beaver County Times and Journal; Sun Journal). He also contributed 3 chapters to two books in 1997 and 2011. This didn't meet any criterion of WP:AUTHOR.  — Ammarpad (talk) 22:57, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not inherited from Oxford, and we are not an indiscriminate collection of statistics. Admissions statistics may belong at other articles (University of Oxford#Admission, college pages etc.) but we do not need them in such inordinate detail. Additionally, the text is entirely non-neutral and the article has been used as a coatrack to write about the lack of diversity and institutionalised prejudice in the university (which I agree exists, but is not limited to Oxford, and WP is not here to right great wrongs).

(Like the sentence "As epitomised by the Laura Spence Affair, the admissions policies of the University of Oxford and its constituent colleges have over the years been frequently criticized for a number of different reasons, including the overrepresentation of students educated at fee-paying private schools and the underrepresentation of students from minority ethnicity groups" and its attached references.

This term absolutely warrants a definition (and is defined on Wiktionary), and because of controversy and coverage in articles (that should be referenced), it's worthy of inclusion. = paul2520 (talk) 04:36, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete non notable artist and didn't meet basic WP:GNG for lack of wide coverage and neither meet specific WP:MUSICBIO.

  • Hi, During the most of his life Vince Gordon primary use his band name: The Jime - if you google that, you will find a lost of hits on Google. When he had his first blotshot at the age of 42 he had to cancel tours to Japan, Australia, UK, Italy among others. Doing he last 9 years he really became an expert on rockabillyguitars and is cited in many books. For the moment his page: Vince-Gordon is under reconstruction with timelines and other things about Vince Gordon. You can also look at gretsch-talk.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosdahl-2017 (talkcontribs) 15:59, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Followed Vince Gordon and his career since he made the first Rockabilly band in Denmark. He is a legend within Rockabilly and everyone in the Rockabilly environment who really cares for the genre knows about him and respects his unique work. Google The Jime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesper77 (talkcontribs) 21:10, 17 November 2017 (UTC) Jesper77 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • RE. per nom: Vince mostly used his band name: The Jime. He never used his given name as an artist. RE. Wide coverage: As a beginner I have to start one place, and the text is also based on interviews and other things as there is a coming website in the name of the artist. When I look at other musicians at WIKIPIDIA I can see, that I have more external sources in many situations. But what I realy thing is an issue here is, What do you do here on WIKIPIDIA, when you have such an artist, who had an exceptional knowledge on e.g. rockabilly guitars, that his knowledge and work is cited in books, among other authours, among the “old guys” in rockabilly because of his knowledge and uniq guitarplay. So here you have a person who also is quoted as an expert. If any of you know the multiartist Fred Sokolow – he had also written a lot of books – and is used as a source: he said (is also in the bio) that Vince Gordon is the next generation of rockabilly. Even on the Brian Setzer forum, other people write about Vince Gordon. And I can continue. I will not do so. I think you got my view now. I also thing you should list Vince Gordon on the rockabilly list. Thank you for that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosdahl-2017 (talkcontribs) 09:20, 18 November 2017 (UTC) Rosdahl-2017 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • If you doubt the influence of Lasse Rosdahl Larsen, who have the artist name Vince Gordon, had on Rockabilly Music, look in to the foreword of Hal Leonards book called "Hal Leonard Rockabilly Guitar Method". Look after the chapter called "The Next Generation", and here is "Vince Gordon with his band The Jime" mentioned as a great player to listen to. Hal Leonard make the mistake to address Vince Gordon and The Jime as a Holland band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23Gesta (talkcontribs) 22:08, 21 November 2017 (UTC) 23Gesta (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

This athlete has never competed on international senior level. In addition to what the article says, she finished 11th at the European Juniors in 1993. Won the national championship with a decent enough result, but nowhere near international competitiveness. With 14.52 metres she was probably not in the top 100 in Europe that year (this year the list cuts off at 87th with 15.17 metres. As such does not meet the general notability guideline either.

Delete Off what Geschichte said, the IAAF list for 1999, the earliest year available, cut off at top 50 with 17.51. That is 3 meters off the subject's mark winning the national title - or over a 20% increase needed. Results for the 1993 World Championships, 1995 World Championships, and 1996 Summer Olympics show that the international standard for that time period was about 16-17 meters (only high 20s for # of competitors, but competitors don't always have their best throws at the major meets). Still well off the 14.52 meters she threw. No compelling reason to think she was ever in the top 60 and therefore was never elite. If never elite, then we cannot presume sources exist. So unless we actually see the sources, delete. RonSigPi (talk) 22:55, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Shalor (Wiki Ed), would you be fine with moving this to draft space instead of a sandbox? I ask because I'm highly doubtful this will ever be mainspace ready and once the course is over it will just sit in the sandbox unless it is MfD'd. If we send it to draft it can be G13'd six months after the course is over if there is no progress (which given my interactions with WikiEd courses in the past, I suspect is highly likely). TonyBallioni (talk) 15:46, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm fine with that - I think that's a reasonable compromise. Also on a side note, I've contacted the professor for this course and asked that the students not move more work into the mainspace because there have been some NOTESSAY issues. I'm going to spend the next few hours/rest of the day looking at the rest of the work and potentially moving it back to their userspace or to the draftspace.

For the article Tricomplex numbers, this a well documented subject and you may find many references, e.g. G.B. Price "An Introduction to Multicomplex numbers and functions". For the article Tetrabrot, the results come mainly from the two following research papers: "A Generalized Mandelbrot Set for Bicomplex Numbers" from D. Rochon in 2000 and "On a Bicomplex Distance Estimation for the Tetrabrot" from É. Martineau and D. Rochon in 2004. These scientific articles are not my personal research. I would appreciate that some solutions are proposed to improve the articles or some solutions that may help to save them.

  • Delete all – (a) lack of notability; (b) lack of merit
    • The name "tricomplex numbers" seems to be more commonly used for the three-dimensional algebra over the reals (as in https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0008120) than for CCCC, which appears to be the topic of the article. All algebraic constructions over a direct sum of rings decompose, allowing each part to be analyzed in isolation, and are uninteresting mathematically. Price only briefly mentions them. Only the simplest examples of such direct sums, such as the bicomplex numbers and split-complex numbers, seem to have any notability or instructive value.
    • The tricomplex multibrot set should accordingly decompose as the Cartesian product of threefour Mandelbrot sets, making it uninteresting.
    • The tetrabrot article does not seem to give enough to even understand exactly what it is talking about, or why it might be interesting.
    Quondum 04:35, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • It looks to be the direct sum of four copies, CCCC — which is still not interesting, and so the "tricomplex multibrot set" is the Cartesian product of four Mandelbrot sets — which is, also, still not interesting. XOR'easter (talk) 20:34, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete all. I had considered nominating one or other of these myself when it appeared in the list of recently created maths articles, but did not have time to look into it. I did find a previous AfD, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tricomplex number, which may or may not be on the same topic. But on their own merits these do not belong on WP.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 11:01, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I nominated that other one, but I don't remember it well enough to tell how similar they are. Reyk YO! 11:41, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • That article was apparently about an algebra isomorphic to RC, and this one to CCCC. —Quondum 12:53, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Save. As a programmer, I'd like to thank the author (Mathopo) of the "Tetrabrot" and the "Tricomplex numbers" pages. The current work is indeed an excellent basis for fractal exploration. If I understand well, tricomplex numbers are a particular case of multicomplex numbers, for wich the Wikipida page is already accepted since 10 years ago. I disagree that the "Tricomplex numbers" page is unuseful and redundant, because it shows a detailed multiplication tables for tricomplex numbers, which is usefull for a non multicomplex expert. --ComputedMathArts (talk) 03:42, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Save. Some users seem to evaluate the merit of these articles solely based on their lack of personal interest, which can never be considered as an objective argument. Moreover, the tricomplex numbers and their use in generating tridimensional fractals like the "Tetrabrot" have been studied and results have been published in credible peer-reviewed scientific journals as Fractals (World Scientific) and the like. As mentioned above, these articles include no content which contravene WP's NOR policy.66.130.133.22 (talk) 03:58, 18 November 2017 (UTC) 66.130.133.22 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment. As there are several new faces here, a few comments on the way we operate is in order. An AfD discussion such as this is intended to determine whether or not an article meets the Wikipedia guidelines and how the article should be dealt with. Any action should be determined by a consensus of the contributors to this discussion. These discussions normally take a minimum of seven days to ensure that enough various viewpoints are presented. Calls for closure by one side of a disputed discussion after just two days of being listed are quite uncalled for. Other comments, such as threatening legal action or criticizing other editors expressions are not considered to be good faith efforts to achieve consensus and actually work against it. The discussion needs to be centered on the Wikipedia guidelines and not on our personal opinions of the value of the article, so the comments that are of most value are those that reference those guidelines.--Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 18:22, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment First of all, personal interest can't motivate a decision of that importance. If we follow the logic behind the comment above, we should also delete the bicomplex wikipedia page and the multicomplex wikipedia page since these concepts are not interesting... But my goal is not not go there. Also, as it was mentioned above, those articles are based on scientific reliable ressources. Finally, if some suggestions can be made to correct the articles so we can save those articles, you are welcomed to apply your suggestion. Mathopo (talk) 20:25, 18 novembre 2017 (HAE)
No comment on what can or can't be done to save the article/s in question, but "personal interest" has precisely nothing to do with the deletion or otherwise of an article, as the comment to which you are responding makes very clear. Best practice is to respond to the concerns which are being raised, rather than your favourite strawmen instead. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 04:45, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Save The blame is especially related to the use of Original Research (OR). However, on the page where the concept of OR is explained, we can read the following: "Rewriting source material in your own words, while substantially retaining the meaning of the references, is not considered to be original research". That is exactly what is done in the article Tricomplex numbers and so the allegation are more or less valid. As a consequence, this is the same for the other two articles Tetrabrot and Tricomplex Multibrot set. Mathopo (talk) 20:35, 18 novembre 2017 (HAE)
Please, read WP:OR further. In the section WP:PSTS, a paragraph "Policy" contains "Do not base an entire article on primary sources". In other words, an article for which no secondary source exists is considered, by Wikipedia, as original research, and therefore not acceptable. Here, this is enforced by a WP:Conflict of interest: author(s) of the Wikipedia articles are also authors of the primary sources. D.Lazard (talk) 10:09, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Here, I just want to understand with a concrete situation. For example, if someone from around the world that write a Wikipedia article on a subject that has no secondary reference (like a book) excepted the primary sources (like the paper from the creator of the concepts or the theory), his article will be clasified, by Wikipedia, as WP:OR? Mathopo (talk) 22:25, 19 november 2017 (HAE)
  • Delete all A pile of OR -- and unremarkable OR at that. The legal threat makes it even sillier. EEng 05:53, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A quick check of Mathscinet for "tricomplex" (anywhere) indicates that the commutative and associative 8-dimensonal tricomplex algebra has been studied and books/articles published which treat the subject. It is true that the algebra of tricomplex numbers is less notable and far less studied than the non-commutative non-associative 8-dimensional algebra of octonions or Cayley numbers, which plays a significant role in mathematics (particularly the theory of Jordan algebras). Writing that the subject of tricomplex numbers is WP:OR, however, is simply wrong: the subject may be dull and/or uninteresting, but it is certainly not original research. The other neologisms above, invented by researchers from the University of Quebec—puns on Mandelbrot, etc—appear in published works but have not been more widely adopted and as such are unnotable: the label WP:OR is inappropriate. Mathsci (talk) 07:20, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is not the topic that is OR. The article does have sourcing problems, which are addressed at WP:OR, and which should not be ignored. —Quondum 15:42, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
In mathematics, WP:OR would mean that a wikipedia editor is creating mathematical content which cannot be sourced to published articles or textbooks. Of course it is preferable to have content drawn from textbooks, but many times that is not possible. Systoles of surfaces is an example of an article where a mathematician (Katzmik) has summarised his own research in an article based on published papers. There could possibly have been a conflict of interest (I don't think so), but Katzmik was not guilty of creating original research on wikipedia. Mathsci (talk) 18:01, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment The editing history statistics of Tetrabrot shows a large number of edits by IPs located either in the Universite du Quebec a Trois-Rivieres or nearby (Laval) as well as edits by Mathopo. All the research originates in exactly these localities. The nature of the editing suggests that all these contributions were made by the same user. Regardless of the merits of what has been added—it unfortunately seems unnotable—the manner of editing and the appearance of similar IPs at the AfD (one of which has been blocked) suggests that Mathopo is very closely related to one or more authors of the papers on multicomplex dynamical systems involved in this AfD. As such there seems to be a conflict of interest. Mathsci (talk) 12:48, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all, possibly salt, and possibly refer to the board of ethics at the relevant university for the sock/meat-puppetry. This is self-promotion and publication of original research which is not otherwise notable. There is obvious quacking in many of the "Save" votes. The tri-complex articles are clearly not notable and serve only a promotional purpose; the tetrabrot article might be on something notable, but is WP:TNT worthy in its current state, and I can't easily find any reliable sources that could repair the article (both Google search and EBSCOHost have nothing useful). power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:39, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hindwiki are you withdrawing your nomination? L3X1 (distænt write) 14:39, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The initial nomination was actually for a different earlier version of the article, which was created a few hours after HINDWIKI created Jahnavi Kapoor. But both had unique content, so I declined a WP:A10 delete request and merged them under what appears to be the most appropriate name. Since then, other commentators have turned to examining the current Janhvi Kapoor article for notability standards. Bureaucratically it might perhaps be correct to withdraw this one and start a new discussion (I don't really know - I'm not much of a wikilawyer), but that would surely only waste time. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:00, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Were it withdrawn, I would just renominate for the WP:NACTOR problems that most of the others commenting have been reflecting (I had prodded the subject under its other spelling for just that reason.) So yes, it would only waste time; we should just recognize the OP's change of !vote and move along. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:13, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment @L3X1: I am withdrawn my nomination because article has notability per WP:Notability guidelines. Please don't open any other discussion and keep it on Wikipedia and @NatGertler: this time the article has WP:NACTOR but in future (at least 5-10 days or more to go) when film's trailer and Film will release then the user waste their time in creation of this. Please close the discussion and Sorry for wasting your time. Thanks HINDWIKICHAT 15:25, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Even when the film comes out, she doesn't meet WP:NACTOR, as that calls for multiple significant roles. We don't avoid editing Wikipedia because it will have meant that someone will have wasted their time; that would leave the place a pile of junk. You can ask for the article to be draftified into your user space, so should the subject actually meet our guidelines, you will have something to work off of... but we tend to allow drafts to only hang around so long. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:29, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete subject does not pass the notability guidelines for actors, which for people known only as actors, overcome a possibly scape by pass of GNG. Nominators can switch to thinking an article should be kept, but when others have supported deletion, they should not be able to withdraw the deletion request. Wikipedia has too many AfD procedures that make it possible to keep articles on procedural grounds, none to delete them on procedural grounds.

    (A perhaps obsolete expression: "my mother must have been scared by ...", say, a lacrosse stick or a Penzoil race car; i was told that's a "birth defects due to emotional trauma" meme, which i recall from at least one cartoon when TV and i were young).

  •    But wait: Keep, after all; get serious about seeking reliable documentation of the football usage; and REPURPOSE the nominated page after renaming (if only to preserve the edit history pending adequate research), by renaming to Matriculation (misnomers):
       I thot i had no dog in this discussion, but Aha: indeed, here is major-league documentation for the term's as yet unmentioned but now third mode of usage: i.e., college status, the contributor's sense, & "matriculating while in college" (which is documented along with a batch of other misnomers, said to have been intentionally committed for deception and/or a few belly laughs).
       It's plausible that there may be some unconscious or unconscious folk etymology involved: if the football story is verifiable, it raises the question of possible logic that may underlie the odd usage: an adolescent's analogy between the ball rolling lackadaisically down the out-of-bounds line and a juvenile visual analog). Matriculation may well find annual discussion by coaching staff, due to the various conferences' eligibility rules, and evoking it as an intentional double entendre may be a documentable inside joke.

The result was keep.

After reviewing the arguments on both sides and weighing their relevance, strengths, and how they address the arguments stated in opposition - I find that the consensus reached is to keep the article.

The central parts of the discussion by those in favor of deletion were that the article would introduce and host BLP violations, would add an unnecessary POV fork to the article subject as a whole, and that the article subject is about events that aren't notable enough or have lasting significance or significant coverage required for these events to have its own article.

The arguments in favor of keeping the article address the arguments by those in favor of deletion. The central discussion in regards to keeping it state that BLP violations apply to revisions, and not the article itself - and that any violations should be removed and shouldn't factor into whether or not the article should be deleted. They also asserted that the article passes WP:GNG, has significant coverage by numerous reliable sources, and that the significance is lasting due to the media coverage and the person's status as a United States politician. They also cited WP:SPINOFF and that the POV forking is fine here, and that other articles about BLPs that have recently been the subject of the same allegations - also have separate articles with content about the events.

Given the arguments on both sides, I find that the arguments for keeping the article address the arguments for deleting the article - and that the consensus here is to keep it. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:11, 27 November 2017 (UTC) & Nihlus 19:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Way, way too soon. There is discussion going on right now at Talk:Roy Moore about whether to split off the allegations into a separate article, and the consensus appears to be, to wait and see if it has lasting significance, which is not yet clear. (Right now it's a sensational but unproven story about one notable politician; if it turns out to affect the partisan balance in the Senate, for example, that could qualify as lasting significance.) In any case, this article is a BLP disaster, going into minute detail on the allegations, and often stating them in Wikipedia's voice. I wish we didn't have to have to wait the usual week for discussion before it can get deleted. MelanieN (talk) 02:17, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete mainly because whatever is salvageable is redundant to what’s already in the Roy Moore article. Anythingyouwant (talk) 02:23, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I also support deletion because this article is a gross WP:BLP violation due to edits like this which portray Moore’s non-violent dalliances with girls over age fifteen as potential crimes, whereas the reliable sources report that they were not crimes on account of the age of consent being 16. Moore’s behavior is still yucky IMHO, but much yuckier is Wikipedians’ attempt to exaggerate the matter by excluding extremely pertinent facts. Anythingyouwant (talk) 21:25, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete; although it is noteworthy, right now there is overlapping content between this and the main article on Roy Moore, so it's twice as much work to maintain, and consensus should have been obtained first, given the heavy updating on the main article. However, if there is a consensus to keep, I urge that we remove nearly all discussion of this topic from the main Roy Moore article, again because of the difficulty in maintaining two overlapping articles that are heavily edited as events unfold. If another accuser emerges or new details on existing accusation emerge, we shouldn't be updating two articles with the same facts. —Anomalocaris (talk) 02:33, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It should overlap with that article and the special election article. The right answer is to cut the content in the Moore article and link.Casprings (talk) 02:36, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Ideally we'd have a very short paragraph in the Roy Moore lede, a couple of longer paragraphs in the body and this article can go fully in depth with timelines, reactions and implications etc... it'll be a bit of a wrangle to sort out the balance but it's entirely normal and doable and solves a lot of potential problems with overwhelming the parent article. Artw (talk) 02:42, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Unneccessary content fork. Wikipedia is not news and it appears a few editors here have fallen victim to a bad case of recentism. At this point, this is a BLP disaster fueled by speculation. I am baffled that lasting impact can supposedly be determined when the story is ongoing and a crystal ball hasn't been brought here for us all to see any future repercussions.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 02:39, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Must admit I am a little confused here - didn't you spend a significant portion of last week arguing that the Roy Moore article was too crowded with negative material that was drowning out the rest.

By questionable I mean it;s fair to see the allegations as a pattern of stalking and harassment, including many things that could be considered as levels of abuse and with the physical contacts and rape attempt as their pinnacle, and that also I'm not sure why we should go out of our way to mininimisse that or pass a portion of it off as "dating" or whatever.

I will admit that by all indications, more and more young girls are coming forward about Moore's predatory conduct. It would warrant it's own article if some criminal charges were expected, but this material is from a long time ago and it may be hard to either verify it, or refute it from a legal perspective. I believe the women here making the allegations and by all accounts it meets WP:V and WP:N and they are being taken by just about all the stakeholders within the GOP as credible.

  • Keep for now and move to "Roy Moore sexual misconduct allegations", since the allegations here range from dating teenagers and serving them alcohol to sexual assault, which are arguably not as severe as the allegations leveled against Harvey Weinstein, and more along the lines of Bill Clinton or Donald Trump's allegations articles. I'm worried this doesn't comply with WP:BLPNAME because it includes lots of the names of living people. Nevertheless, this is a useful article so the Roy Moore article doesn't get bogged down in the details of the scandal. If, for some reason, this doesn't have a lasting effect, it could always be merged back into Moore's article. FallingGravity 09:17, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. As long as these are "allegations" and not a specific court case or Senate proceedings (e.g. expelling him from the senate should he be elected) - this belongs in Roy Moore and/or United States Senate special election in Alabama, 2017 (where these allegations surfaced and play an important role) and not as a standalone article. We have an article on the campaign itself which should amply be able to cover these - as well as their political impact.Icewhiz (talk) 13:47, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – As a content fork, this makes a lot of sense, just like with Harvey Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, etc. There is simply too much information here for it to be contained in the main article; it was taking up an inordinate amount of space, and splitting is how we deal with that.
As for lasting impact, we can only crystal ball it at this point, but I see two possible outcomes: he wins the election or he doesn't. If he doesn't (either by withdrawing or losing the vote), it will be because of these accusations – he was a shoo-in before all of this. And if he does win in spite of this, these accusations will almost certainly hang over him and his party, unless the Senate refuses to seat him or something else similarly drastic happens. In either situation, I don't see how we get away from this having lasting impact.
But beyond that, the information in this article is relevant to Roy Moore, and I think everyone agrees that these allegations are notable and belong in the encyclopedia. (I will concede that others think this article goes into too much detail.) The question is whether it needs to be a stand-alone article. As such, NOTNEWS doesn't apply. And for a stand-alone article, I think this clearly meets the basic requirement of WP:EVENT: it has received significant, non-routine coverage that persists over a period of time.
Finally, I think this is exactly what an encyclopedia is for: a thorough and neutral accounting of what has been reported in reliable sources. If someone wants to know what's going on with all these accusations against Roy Moore, they shouldn't need to read through dozens of reports from different newspapers but rather should be able to turn to one source for an in-depth and neutral accounting, and that is exactly what an encyclopedia ought to do. -- irn (talk) 15:29, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Per Irn. Agree w/ him that that's what an encylopaedia is for. There are so many allegations, similar to that of harvey weinstein. Considering how much coverage there has been of it, it doesn't make sense to only have ~4 paragraphs at-most that can be exist in Roy Moore. Even if a lot of the content is removed as being too detailed - some of which I see has already happened - there still is enough for a separate article.

  • Strong keep. Very lengthy article with 50 citations. I'd hardly say that it'd be a great idea to merge what is a very notable topic in American politics with a large article with another even larger article about a notable American politician. I'm assuming the only reason this article was created in the first place was to relieve the Roy Moore article of an exhaustive topic, so that it can be neatly summarised on the article as a single section, while the Roy Moore sexual abuse allegations article goes into greater detail. No point attempting to merge again; the topic will overgrow the Roy Moore article again and will be split off again because of how extensive and notable the topic is. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · contribs · count) 14:06, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - WP:POVFORK, and the chances of keeping it from becoming an attack page are slim to none.

    What makes this a POV fork and not a content fork? -- irn (talk) 19:39, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You can start with the lede - they're politicizing the allegations of sexual misconduct. I seriously doubt the man behaved that way thinking it would advance or hinder his political career. While the allegations surfaced at the time he was leading against his opponent, to make politics the focus makes it POV. Think about how our female readers see it. Atsme📞📧 19:51, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That's not a POV fork. You're complaining about the POV of the article, which is something to be discussed on the article's talk page. A POV fork is when a new article is deliberately created to avoid a neutral point of view. That's not the case here. The same point of view is reflected on the main Roy Moore article, just in less detail. Exactly as it should be with a content fork. -- irn (talk) 21:08, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How do you see that as not the case here? Your explanation actually supports my position. How can you not see that? Atsme📞📧 21:16, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You're completely missing his point. The same "POV" (actually neutral text based on reliable sources - you're mistaking your own WP:IJUSTDONTLIKEIT for POV) is present on both the main Roy Moore article and this one. So it cannot be a POV fork. For it to be a POV fork it would have to say something completely different than the main article. It doesn't. Please actually read and learn the relevant policies before citing them. Volunteer Marek  07:42, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I personally wish that we would not have these types of detail-laden articles per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER and WP:NOTSCANDAL, but since this is the norm that has been embraced by the Wikipedia community for years, it would be very strange to delete this article. The subject has been covered internationally for ten days with no signs of diminishing.

  • Comment = Since I got involved in this article, it has troubled me greatly. As you can see by reading the comments above, some treat all nine of Roy Moore's accusers as sexual assault victims. Yet, if you read the RS, with the exception of the three women who are charging sexual abuse, all the others have claimed that his behavior never went beyond dating and kissing. And all of those six were of the age of consent. The overall tone of the article is very negative rather than neutral. I have argued repeatedly that the tone should be changed by putting the charges in the mouths of RS rather than directly stating that Moore is this or that or did this or that. My arguments are constantly met with "it's RS", which strikes me as a copout to avoid the hard work of remaining neutral. However, I don't see that deleting the article will do any good. The same people will move over to the Roy Moore article and continue the same behavior. I think what is needed is someone with the authority to review the article, make decisions about BLP and NPOV and make them stick. Txantimedia (talk) 02:54, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvious keep Even if the allegations were all proven to be false tomorrow, this would still be a notable topic. Thus, there is no rational argument for deletion. It seems like the main problem is the sub-optimal title, which is a reason to change the title, not delete the content, or force people to plow through Moore's entire biography just to find out more about his inclinations to pedarasty. I thought Wikipedia was not censored. Was I wrong?Eternal return of the same (talk) 04:00, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You're certainly wrong about charging Moore with pederasty. I will assume, in good faith, you don't know the definition of pederasty. What Moore is guilty of, if he's guilty of anything, is Ephebophilia not Pederasty and possibly sexual assault. Asd so far, none of the charges have been proven, so it's a bit premature to judge him. But your comment points to the problem with this issue in both pages. There is a lot of heat and not much light going on, and we really need an experienced admin to resolve the issue. Txantimedia (talk) 04:48, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So... Harvey Weinstein sexual abuse allegations should be deleted too? And of course the United States Senate special election in Alabama, 2017 article too, since that's also "recent".

  • Delete There are 2 women that called it sexual abuse. This article is a WP:COATRACK for accusations unrelated to sexual abuse. For example, this initial WaPo piece makes it clear that there was no sexual contact with 3 of the 4 that came forward. None of the three women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact. and Of the four women, the youngest at the time was Corfman (14 y/o at the time), who is the only one who says she had sexual contact with Moore that went beyond kissing. Creepy dating but not sexual abuse as this COATRACK article implies. I believe there are 2 accusations that would be deemed sexual abuse and they can be handled in the Roy Moore biography. --DHeyward (talk) 17:55, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep this isn't a POVFORK, it is routine practice for sections of articles which become too long to be split out into sub-articles, and this is not considered forking. Similar pages have been created for a number of allegations against influential people. The topic has gained a huge amount of media attention and it is distinctly possible that it will continue to do so for some time to come, so it's far too premature to argue that this must be deleted for recentism. BLP issues can be dealt with through editing and I don't think that Wikipedia should shy away from covering this type of topic for BLP reasons. The question of whether this should be a standalone article or a section of the main article is debatable, but either way the content is not going to be deleted.

  • Delete. One editor, Cayla Mackey at Unicorn Goods, created the page vegan design without use of sources, and edited veganism here with information defining/promoting vegan design according to only her interpretation. Given that Unicorn Goods is a "vegan design" company and the editor is the founder/owner (WP user name is part of company name), this is clear conflict of interest and promotional, a violation of Wikipedia policy per WP:PROMO. The editor's additional sources are themselves promotional and WP:PEA. Further discussion here. --Zefr (talk) 17:49, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    @Zefr: It is possible for COI editors to write objectively. As the article stands now, it isn't promotional, and doesn't seem to bear any connection to the author's employer except by subject area. What we need to determine is whether the subject is notable. At the moment, given the sources currently in the article, maybe, but I'm on the fence. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:03, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Anachronist: let's be clear about a few things concerning COI on this topic. 1) the article was created by a user who created a username identifying her employer, Unicorn Goods, a vegan design company; 2) the same user has attempted, and failed by your own response, to create an article about Unicorn Goods, here; 3) in earlier edits here, the user includes references which center around PETA, a soapbox organization promoting veganism, therefore revealing WP:PROMO and WP:SOAP. Reviewing WP:COI, there are numerous areas of concern, not least of which how misleading this article would be if we were not contesting it based on objectivity and propriety. --Zefr (talk) 01:33, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And all of those points have exactly zero relevance to the basic question to be answered in an AFD discussion: Is the topic notable? I think it might be, as there are valid references (which you have repeatedly removed) covering the topic. Coverage of a PETA event by a reliable source like the Los Angeles Times is still coverage by a reliable source. You haven't yet offered any reasons grounded in Wikipedia policy why the topic isn't notable. COI isn't valid grounds to delete, particularly if the article isn't promotional (which it isn't). ~Anachronist (talk) 22:15, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I disputed the quality of references here and here, with edit explanations that they contain blog, soapbox and/or commercially promotional content. As for notability, edits were made to this section of the Veganism article to accommodate content on vegan personal items. The article name, "Vegan design", is rare or absent from secondary sources, and appears to be a novel term the article creator wishes to use as unique for her own company's marketing, contested here. --Zefr (talk) 22:59, 8 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect/merge to Veganism#Personal_items. At best this is a neologism and certainly too soon. A sentence or two to the effect that fashion and other products are being designed with vegan philosophies in mind should suffice at this stage. If and when "vegan design" becomes a real thing, a separate article might be appropriate, but not now. Derek Andrews (talk) 22:20, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Derek Andrews that a minor edit can be made to Veganism, so I added to the content here. In reviewing the several references offered in one edit yesterday, nearly all references were promotional, and the term "vegan design" was not used. I sense the creator of this article is trying to establish a business advantage and marketing term through this page. The COI revealed on her Talk page should disqualify further edits until the COI is resolved as it applies to the article, "Vegan design". --Zefr (talk) 03:35, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is an essay, not an encyclopedia article. It largely consists of an editor's extrapolation from the practices among one Jewish community to "Jewish etiquette". Large amounts of original research. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 02:38, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I have since addressed the issue that you mentioned, renaming the article to "Yemenite Jewish etiquette," instead of the more general title of "Jewish etiquette." As for the "essay-like" style, I am correcting that too, so that it does not read like an essay.Davidbena (talk) 16:08, 12 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Malik Shabazz Malik, is there anything usable here that would make a viable article? The concept seems worthy of an article at first glance. Irondome (talk) 02:45, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The subject of Jewish etiquette (דרך ארץ, derech eretz) is definitely notable, and some of what's in this article might be suitable for a section of an article that was based on general sources on that subject. As written, however, most of this article is almost a sociological study of etiquette among the Jewish community in Yemen that's extrapolated, as if what was true about the Yemenite Jews in one period is true of all Jews in all lands throughout history. That may or may not be the case—I'm skeptical, but I don't claim to be an expert in the history of Jewish manners—but books about the history of Jewish etiquette would be appropriate sources, not almost exclusively books about Yemenite Jews. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:11, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Malik Shabazz, shalom. I think the article makes it very clear in the beginning that Jews were exiled and that etiquette has changed from country to country. With that said, the author of the work that I cited in the lead paragraph alleges that Yemenite Jewish customs of etiquette were once pervasive among all Jewish communities, which view is also supported by the Minor Tractate "Derech Eretz" and whose list of mannerisms of Jews (when that work was first compiled) mirrors those of Yemenite Jews. It is no secret that the Jews of Yemen are held to have preserved the ancient-most traditions in Israel.Davidbena (talk) 04:25, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I brought this editor to WP:ANI for overindulgence in WP:OR, a ban was in the making but for some strange reason it did not get decided/applied. My view is that this editor overindulges in WP:PRIMARY religious sources, sometimes he quotes WP:SECONDARY sources, mostly in Hebrew, which I don't read and I cannot check if they verify the added information, as pointed by others at Talk:Intelligent design he cannot be trusted to render the view of the secondary sources he does quote, engaging instead in WP:SYNTH and WP:Editorializing. I guess WP:TNT would apply. Tgeorgescu (talk) 03:02, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidbena: Your efforts are worthy, your persistence is admirable, it is just that Wikipedia is not the venue for such articles. See WP:NOTESSAY. Tgeorgescu (talk) 12:40, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you say this work infringes upon WP:NOTESSAY, may God forbid, when the vast majority of the sources quoted here, except where otherwise stated, have been drawn from Yosef Qafih's seminal work, "Jewish Life in Sana (Halichot Teman)", and where he devotes an entire chapter (pp. 260–263) to the topic of "Common Blessings and Etiquette"? Furthermore, as for the Hebrew language preserved by Yemenite Jewry, Israeli linguist Hanoch Yelon, in Lĕšonénu: A Journal for the Study of the Hebrew Language and Cognate Subjects (issue 3) (1931), has already noted how the Yemenite Jewish modes of speech are a common heritage of all of Israel, the Jewish nation of old. In the cases that I have specifically mentioned in this article, I have cited reliable sources that state explicitly that such language as noted in the article was used in the form of good manners and etiquette.Davidbena (talk) 14:13, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. The current situation is a bit of a mess. Derekh eretz already exists as a disambiguation page with links to four articles. Torah im Derech Eretz, in particular, has a lenghty editing history that suggests it was initially conceived and developed as an article about at least some aspects of the concept, including etiquette. The current lead of that article seems to focus the article more narrowly on the views of R. Samson Raphael Hirsch but the content of the article is broader than that. The topic discussion as a whole could stand to see some rationalization and reorganization but exactly what that should look like would require discussion. As it currently stands, I agree with the majority here that the current Jewish etiquette article smacks of WP:OR and, under that title, at least, is misfocused, and it's not clear a separate article solely on the topic of "Jewish etiquette", in the limited sense of social courtesy, can stand up. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:15, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:NOTESSAY. The page is completely misnamed; this is a case study of Yemenite Jewish customs, certainly not "derech eretz" or the mistranslated "Jewish etiquette". Anything that's not OR or SYNTH could be summarized under Yemenite Jews, where the page creator is already active. Yoninah (talk) 22:07, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
So, do you think with minor changes per style (so as not to read like an essay), the title of the article should be changed to "Yemenite Jewish etiquette"? I could agree to that.Davidbena (talk) 23:08, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No, not "etiquette"! Yemenite Jewish customs, maybe. (Some of your sources specify Ancient Yemenite Jewish customs–we can't assume that any modern-day Yemenite Jews follow these customs.) But reading more closely, you have a lot of SYNTH here that must be removed before making a Yemen-specific article. SYNTH means that you're familiar with some customs so you wrote them up for an article and then went looking for sources to back them up. The article is cobbled together rather than flows naturally. Most of the "Table etiquette" section isn't Yemen-specific. The third paragraph under "Personal hygiene and conduct in the toilet" is only quoting the Rambam and the Gemara, showing that this custom isn't unique to Yemen and, without Yemenite sources, might not have even been practiced there. I think you should stick to your Yemen-specific sources for your research and paraphrase what they say to make a new article. Ideally, every sentence should be cited to a source (that will help cut down on the essay-like tone). And please get rid of all those references to "derech eretz" and Derekh Eretz Rabbah, which is a product of original research–trying to make connections between two disparate subjects.

User:Yoninah, The word "customs" is far too broad of a term, and would incorporate far more than what I am willing to undertake. The whole point here is to mention "etiquette," just as there are articles on Japanese etiquette, etc. The vast majority of sources deal specifically with etiquette. Since the original idea was to show "Jewish etiquette" it explains my citation as a source of "Tractate Derech Eretz" and of Rambam, many of which mannerisms recorded there mirror those of Yemenite Jews. To show that there are similar areas of etiquette, is this an infringement of WP:OR? After all, Yemenites belong to the family of Jews and have actually followed to the letter many of the same codes of etiquette. Am I only allowed to mention Yemenite Jewish sources, without referencing the Talmud, let's say with a sign of direction "cf." (compare)? Since we say in Hebrew, "No man sees his own disabilities" (אין אדם רואה נגעי עצמו), do you think that you could help me remove those places in the article which you said appears to be from WP:SYNTH? Davidbena (talk) 01:13, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have already begun to make the necessary changes in this article to make it conform to Wikipedia standards. Much work still needs to be done. I am working on the assumption that I will be allowed to change the name of this article to the more appropriate title of "Yemenite Jewish etiquette," and to make it conform strictly to Yemenite Jewish mannerisms and codes of etiquette. To that end, I will make a new sub-section entitled "Tractate Derech Eretz" in which I will amass all the references cited in that tractate and which are not directly connected, per se, to Yemenite Jewish custom, although they might be. In this manner, I will avoid what appears to be an infringement of WP:SYNTH. All that I ask here is patience from my fellow co-editors.Davidbena (talk) 14:32, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To whom it may concern: This morning, I began to incorporate the changes in the article, which User:Yoninah and I agreed upon in the article's Talk-Page (new title, rewrite of lead paragraph, adding a sub-section entitled "Background"). I still have more to do, but I'll have to wait till this afternoon to resume the work.

  • delete per WP:NOTMANUAL. This is not an encyclopedia article, sourced to anthropology books and describing actual Yemeni etiquette. It is more of an instruction manual and in that spirit is actually sourced to things like the Talmud and other very, very old texts that can only be sources for content about behavior at the times they were written. (people may find explanations or justifications for current behavior in such books, but a source would be needed for that). This is instruction not anthropological description. Doesn't belong in WP.

Quite a breach of etiquette to attack another person this way. :) But also irrelevant in AfD. Just take as an example the section on Yemenite_Jewish_etiquette#The_Evil_eye. Lovely writing but unsourced, actually. The "sources" there are to Rashi (irrelevant to support content discussing contemporary behavior/beliefs) and something described as "Journal Teima, [...]". Looking at the 77 sources, about half of them are to the Talmud, Rashi, something called Aleph-Be, United Torath Avoth: Bnei-Barak, dictionaries, etc. Ref 55 is an unsourced essay all of it own. There is no sense of time here either. Are all of these customs in 2017? ISBN 965-235-011-7 is the kind of source to be using but that is from 1983, an entire generation ago.

Right, the sources for the Middle East article are a joke. But please try to keep the sifrei kodesh out of everything except the Background section. Yoninah (talk) 21:39, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Yoninah, the way that I have dealt with the issue of referring to "sifrei kodesh" is to merely cite "Compare" (cf.), without saying specifically that the practice dates back to the older source.Davidbena (talk) 06:19, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Maybe the best thing here would be to draftify this and then put it through AfC after davidbena dramatically revises it? davidbena if you would agree to that, we can simply withdraw the AfD and you can fix this in peace, if User:Malik Shabazz agrees.... Jytdog (talk) 21:47, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
First, you, indeed, raised a good point that there "is no sense of time" in the article, which I will do my best to incorporate the matter into this article at your request. To briefly answer, though, older Yemenite Jews still practice this etiquette, and it is taught in Yemenite Jewish seminaries and "Talmud Torah" throughout the country. So, yes, the etiquette is still applicable in 2017, except where otherwise the article notes that the practice has become obsolete. As for the secondary sources used, none are "very, very old texts" as you alleged, but have been written and published in our generation. Since I am doing my very best to satisfactorily address all the issues that you have raised here, and since there is some merit in keeping this article in "main space," while the minor idiosyncrasies that do exist do not justify its deletion, I would be against putting it in draftspace until an AfC be made on it. I am willing to let the judges of AFD judge the merits of this article, for good or for bad, and if worse comes to worse, I can only say that I tried my best to do what I humbly saw as right to do. BTW: One of the sources cited by me, namely, "Aleph-Be," is published and distributed by a Yemenite "Talmud Torah" in Bnei Barak, and has therein a specific chart on etiquette.Davidbena (talk) 06:00, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Glad you are hearing the issue with putting things into time.
You need sources to state in the page, that older Yemeni Jews still follow this.
In general the page is way too much coming out of your mind and experience, with refs thrown in behind that. This is not OK, and therefore this page is very, very likely to be deleted per TNT as it is fundamentally flawed. I guess that is the road we are going down. Jytdog (talk) 19:38, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
As for what you said about providing a source that the "older Yemeni Jews still follow this," those who know the community, know that this is the case, just like saying that the Lakota Indians of North and South Dakota, most of them no longer dwell in Tipis, but in regular box houses. There is no infringement on WP:OR when the subject matter is WP:SKYBLUE, even if it had not been supported by a source. Besides, this source: Yehuda Ratzaby, Dictionary of the Hebrew Language used by Yemenite Jews (אוצר לשון הקדש שלבני תימן), Tel-Aviv 1978, Preface (p. ט"ז) [Hebrew], says explicitly that the "writing etiquette" is practised to this very day! As a former seminary student in Jerusalem, I was also taught the same Yemenite Jewish etiquette, and have seen it practised between Yemenites themselves. Had I written an article in which I tried to prove a certain scientific point of view, using my own inferences, and one that could easily be disproven, that would be tantamount to WP:OR. Here, the obvious is the obvious, to those who know the community. Moreover, it is taught in the curriculum of the Yemenite "Talmud Torah" in Bnei Barak, as shown by its published text book.Davidbena (talk) 22:09, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Most of what you write there is demonstrating that this is an essay reflecting your personal knowledge, which means it doesn't belong in WP. A source from 1978 that says "to this very day" is relevant as of 1978 and not a day beyond that. Jytdog (talk) 02:11, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If the article reflects an "essay-like style," it is my own short-coming. If you see places that sound like as essay, please feel free to change the style. We are permitted here to work on the article while undergoing this review. I will also continue to improve the style, so that it sounds more "encyclopedic."Davidbena (talk) 02:31, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

An advertorially toned page on an unremarkable private company. Significant RS coverage not found; what comes up is PR-driven and / or WP:SPIP. The talk page includes a list of sources, but they are passing mentions, quotes from the company executives, or PR driven. The company raised $3M in funding and has 10-50(?) employees, strongly suggesting that it's WP:TOOSOON for an encyclopedia entry. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:NCORP. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:59, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Companies-related deletion discussions. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:59, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

While K.e.coffman cites the tone of the page and claims no RS coverage was found, K.e.coffman did not flag the article for notability, tone or source citation before proposing deletion, when in fact all of these can be improved by editing the article.

No attempt was made by K.e.coffman to salvage a viable article, not even by alerting others who read the article that improvements should be made. Instead it was immediately nominated for deletion.

Simply because Skymind appears obscure to K.e.coffman doesn't mean its page should be deleted. In fact, in the field of artificial intelligence, the company is well known.

In addition, significant RS coverage does exist, some of it included on the article page and some of it yet to be included.

For example, the AI software written by Skymind, Deeplearning4j, has been cited 411 times in Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=deeplearning4j&btnG=

This shows Skymind has had a significant or demonstrable effect on technology and research in an important field.

The Wikipedia page lists articles that have mentioned Skymind which have appeared in the New York Times, The Washington Post, Bloomberg News, WIRED, Forbes and Buzzfeed, as well as tech publications such as TechCrunch, VentureBeat and others. Some of those articles simply quote Skymind executives. Others, such as this profile in the tech magazine WIRED, below, are exclusively devoted to describing the company and its significance.

https://www.wired.com/2014/06/skymind-deep-learning/

  • the company has attracted the notice of multiple, independent, reliable sources over several years

--Therefore WP:TOOSOON does not apply.

  • while not all RS have been cited in the Wikipedia article, those sources have been published

--Skymind comes up over 940 times in Google News

https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS713US713&biw=1092&bih=573&tbm=nws&ei=3ygEWtPhFcaN0gKen4SYAw&q=skymind+ai&oq=skymind+ai&gs_l=psy-ab.3...5524.6461.0.6680.3.3.0.0.0.0.133.335.1j2.3.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.n3CexKRWElo

These are more than routine communiques or announcements. Many of them are devoted to the company and its technology. Most are neither press releases, material substantially based on press releases nor self-published material (the PR-driven announcements by other companies about Skymind are the minority).

The media coverage is national and international. Gartner Consulting named Skymind a Cool Vendor in 2017. CB Insights, a well known tech news publication, named Skymind to its list of the top 100 companies working in AI. TechCrunch named Skymind as one of the top seven startup to come out of Y Combinator's Winter 2016 demo day.

Skymind has been noticed by people outside the organization, and they have seen fit to tell their readers about it, and to give it awards.

Taken together, the media coverage of Skymind, and the wide citation of its technology by researchers, meet the criteria of notability and depth of coverage.

Some claims that K.e.coffman makes factually incorrect, and contradict both the page and external sources. For example, the company has raised double the funds cited, or $6.3 million, not 3 million, as cited on the article's talk page.

As pointed out on the talk page, software companies are not like traditional manufacturers. They don't rely on headcount to attain significance. Google had 20 employees in 1999. Valve, one of the most important gaming companies in America, has a mere 360 employees.

Skymind has 24 employees according to LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/3793671/

Like.liberation 10:54, 9 November 2017 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Like.liberation (talkcontribs)

The concerns with WP:CORPDEPTH are mitigated by the strong presence of Skymind outside of journalistic publication, and has been cited multiple times by financial analysts.

- Goldman Sachs has cited Skymind in a key industry report http://www.goldmansachs.com/our-thinking/pages/artificial-intelligence.html - Skymind is listed alongside Microsoft, NVIDIA, Google, and IBM in this financial analyst report as a key player https://www.newsmaker.com.au/news/227641/deep-learning-market-key-players-active-networks-are-google-ibm-microsoft-skymind-baidu-hewlett-packard-enterprise-sensory-inc-intel-general-vision-inc-nvidia-corp-#.WgTCYLaZNE4 - Capgemini has cited Skymind in their own A.I. industry report https://www.capgemini.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/dti-ai-report_final1.pdf

Additionally, large/significant companies who do meet this criteria are found alongside Skymind in materials published by them.

- See page 2 of a joint paper between Skymind, Huawei, and Softbank http://www.gtigroup.org/d/file/Resources/rep/2017-06-23/d2235d29625e7811f57d73fad279af7a.pdf

  • Keep Sufficient in-depth coverage in reliable sources to satisfy WP:GNG e.g. 1, 2, 3.--Pontificalibus (talk) 08:10, 16 November 2017 (UTC
1 is a funding announcement based on company's words, 2 is a guide (WP:Not guide) and 3 is yet another announcement based on company's words. Your link to WP:GNG says we need significant independent coverage independent of the subject therefore a repaste somewhere is still within grounds of being primary.

Pontificalibus, a press release issued by a company and published verbatim by The Times could still meet the criteria you posted of "in-depth coverage in reliable sources" but would still fail the criteria for establishing notability since the article must also be intellectually independent. None of the three references mentioned by you above, although published by reliable sources, are intellectually independent. The wired.com article relies exclusively on information and quotations provided by Gibson and therefore fails as a PRIMARY source and fails WP:ORGIND and/or WP:CORPDEPTH. The techcrunch article is an announcement of funding raised and relies on information provided by the company and/or the investors and does not contain and independent analysis or opinion, therefore fails WP:ORGIND. The final reference relies exclusively on an interview with Nicholson and fails WP:ORGIND. -- HighKing++ 20:11, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to this, he has appeared in games for the Punjab Warriors, which, as a member of Hockey India League, appears to be a top-level competition and thus satifying notability requirements. In addition, playing for the India men's national field hockey team may also count towards notability requirements. That said this isn't my area of expertise, and the article is so poor it may be a WP:TNT candidate.

I checked out the links again and he is not in the India senior mens probables squad here, None of the sources attest to him having played 39 times for India. All of the links in the info box are piped links to other competitions. Of the sources there are only the match reports and the list of players sold that mention his name.

The result was keep. After two relistings, the arguments for 'keep' are more convincing than those for 'delete', particularly the fact that the CBE is, by consensus, considered an automatic pass of ANYBIO #1. Whether or not it should be, as argued by DGG, may or may not be so, but that is not a discussion that is in-venue at AfD.

My error: CBE and above are generally considered notable, MBE and OBE are not..-- [20] This may need revison, considering that the UK does not presently regard it as a "high award" [21], and a UK official statement at[22] "This is awarded for having a prominent but lesser role at national level, or a leading role at regional level" and I see that the UK does not presently regard it as a "high award" [23].

Wikipedia consensus is that recipients of these awards are notable, and rightly so. It is, for instance, the level of award given to very prominent actors and musicians who may fall slightly below the level required for a knighthood/damehood. Before appointment to her present post, Tacon spent twelve years as managing director of Co-operative Farms. She is now a senior civil servant. She holds the CBE. She has an entry in Who's Who.

  • Delete He has never even been all-conference, much less meeting any of the notability criteria at WP:NHOCKEY. In addition, coverage of him all seems to be routine sports reporting. I don't see anything to show WP:GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 18:21, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete a non-notable hockey player.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:57, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I am unable to find a reference, but this previously was listed for AfD and a decision was made to retain the article. Although I don't think the argument is a slam dunk, I think the subject has sufficient coverage to be notable and that the article has encyclopedic value.--Rpclod (talk) 11:53, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Rpclod: When was this article ever previously listed for AfD? I don't believe it was. Joeykai (talk) 06:09, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I just recall cleaning up the article when it was in bad shape and thought that it was under AFD. I also looked for an AFD reference and did not find one. So maybe my recollection is faulty or perhaps the article name changed? I don't have any personal connection to the subject or to the University of Michigan or to ice hockey (I see ice as a concussion waiting to happen). My 2¢ is that the subject has enough coverage and the article has enough encyclopedic interest to warrant keeping under GNG if not the latest revision of NHOCKEY, but I understand arguments to the contrary.--Rpclod (talk) 13:04, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - even if this was previously listed as a keep in a past AfD, WP:NHOCKEY has gone through quite a drastic change. Mostly, it made the presumption standards higher. Since we cannot see it, even under WP:GF, I don't think the previous AfD carries much weight. The sources for GNG just aren't there. RonSigPi (talk) 23:02, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No sources that allow for it to meet GNG. And it doesn't meet NHOCKEY. -DJSasso (talk) 16:12, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete He doesn't meet anything at WP:NHOCKEY and coverage consists of routine sports reporting, the local paper, and/or U. of Michigan websites--nothing to show WP:GNG is met. Papaursa (talk) 18:24, 20 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
