Per WP:GNG, topic has not received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it is presumed not to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. Thinker78 (talk) 00:44, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete unless significant coverage can be found; my own search yielded only passing mentions. One would expect that, since this is a modern school in Britain, significant coverage would be available on-line if it exists at all. If the article is kept, it must be pruned to include only verifiable information. Pburka (talk) 01:02, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no sign of any coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:06, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Per nom, lacks significant coverage beyond the primary source.--SamHolt6 (talk) 07:51, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • US high schools are considered implicitly notable. Andy Dingley (talk) 08:09, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • That claim directly contradicts WP:ORG, and this isn't a US school. Pburka (talk) 13:20, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • But see WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. The point is that high schools (which actually exist) can't avoid passing GNG, because there are so many official registries, Ofsted reviews etc. that each and every school which exists will implicitly have a footprint which passes GNG. They may not be notable, but they will be WP:NOTABLE. Andy Dingley (talk) 00:37, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES notes the outcome of an RfC, though, including the conclusion that secondary schools are not presumed to be notable simply because they exist. Note also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A.G.R.M Higher Secondary School, where consensus was to merge the article because while the school was demonstrated to exist, sufficient sources for an article could not be found during the AfD. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:03, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Official records are primary sources and don't contribute to notability. If we start considering government and regulator records as evidence of notability then every business and every civil servant would be notable. Pburka (talk) 15:56, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • (I edited your comment because I think that you intended to link to the news articles themselves and not the Wikipedia articles of the sources. If that's not the case simply change it back). Thinker78 (talk) 05:45, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Qwfp linked to both the Wikipedia articles and the sources, Thinker78, which is what I imagine they intended to do. In general, it is not a good idea to edit others' comments unless they are seriously broken and causing technical problems. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:57, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Per WP:GNG, " 'Significant coverage' addresses the topic directly and in detail... Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention", "Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability". One of the articles should then not be taken into account. Regarding Ofsted, context matters, so while it may be a reliable source to check facts, I don't think it is a reliable source to establish notability in this case, otherwise every single mention in government public records would establish notability, so if my house is listed publicly in some government record, it would be notable, and I think that simply is not the case. Basically, as I see it you really presented two instances of arguably significant coverage in a reliable source. Per WP:GNG, "There is no fixed number of sources required..., but multiple sources are generally expected." Please provide more evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources. Thinker78 (talk) 06:20, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Birmingham Mail "article" appears to be autogenerated by scraping government records. There's no editorial content at all. I hardly think it constitutes significant coverage. Pburka (talk) 18:32, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd be surprised if any government records include an 11-page report about your house, Thinker78. I'd consider that to be significant coverage in an independent reliable source, while a mere listing would not be. WP:CONTEXTMATTERS does not mention notability but says "Each source must be carefully weighed to judge whether it is reliable for the statement being made in the Wikipedia article and is an appropriate source for that content." Ofsted is clearly a reliable and appropriate source for statements of fact about a school. --Qwfp (talk) 21:15, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wonder how many court records meet the 11 page threshold, and if you think every published court case accessible to the public that meets said threshold should then be considered notable for Wikipedia standards. Thinker78 (talk) 23:23, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course I don't. Most court cases, even those covered in newspapers, should not have articles per WP:NOTNEWS. I would consider a court report to be reliable source for a case of enough enduring interest for its own article, such as Murder of James Bulger. Unlike the vast majority of court cases, high schools are of enduring interest. Qwfp (talk) 18:45, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as WP:V is a basic policy and thus supersedes WP:GNG (guideline); independent sourcing of any kind is what satisfies WP:V, regardless of whatever objections about it. SwisterTwister talk 04:06, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:DP states, "Reasons for deletion include.... Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline." WP:DP then incorporates as policy WP:GNG, and because it is also basic policy, it can supersede WP:V if this latter has a less stringent criteria in the WP:DP jurisdiction. Thinker78 (talk) 04:52, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't understand your reasoning here, SwisterTwister, unless you are arguing that everything that can be verified can be the subject of an article (I presume not)? Cordless Larry (talk) 07:47, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per long standing practice on secondary schools. Various offline sources definitely exist including government reports showing notability. And (not that this really is a policy reason, but seems to me to be fairly important anyway), this school is at least as significant as the hundreds of other British secondary schools which are not currently subject to a AfD. This long string of school AfDs is getting very repetitive. JMWt (talk) 16:19, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • But do you have arguments based on policy, content or sourcing? Or is it again the classic circular reasoning so popular on wp:schooloutcomes but dismissed by RFC? The Banner talk 10:40, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep unless official community-wide consensus changed the status quo 'incessant' nominating high schools for deletion is at least waste of time at worst disruption. As I said in many AfDs I don't generally consider them notable worthy of being encyclopedic material, but the consensus of the community do. I hope this will be soon close as speedy keep. There are plethora of articles of non notable people, product and spam of companies and musicians that is where we should direct our nominating power to rid Wikipedia of them not educational institutions –Ammarpad (talk) 16:39, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • But do you have arguments based on policy, content or sourcing? Or is it again the classic circular reasoning so popular on wp:schooloutcomes but dismissed by RFC? The Banner talk 10:40, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You know what I think, I know what you think. We're both aware that there is a major difference of opinion on this topic. Let's not fight it out on every AfD.JMWt (talk) 17:20, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you state the same things over and over again, you can expect that I try to rebuke them over and over again. You know that it is only a so-called consensus, flimsy at best. The Banner talk 18:50, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please share the link to the official community-wide consensus. I direct my power in simply looking at the recent changes log and work through the list, and that's how this school came to my attention. Thinker78 (talk) 23:33, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Community consensus is based on outcomes of AfDs though, Ammarpad, so if bringing articles to AfD is treated as disruptive, then consensus can't change. Cordless Larry (talk) 16:45, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Cordless Larry: the reason I said that is, please get time and analyze concluded AfDs for at least 30 days, and skips some days at random. (This is to give some randomness, though not based on any formal statistics method). You'll find amazing pattern. I did it, though it is informal and now don't have the time to put the statistics on my user space. You'll surely find amazing pattern. but here is some gist: 1- 95% of high school resulted in keep (some speedy). 2. Nominators who nominated schools show reluctance to do it again after failed nom. 3. Though majority of the schools at AfD are (stubs, real stubs), people keep voting keep!. 4-In "theory" Schools are organizations and must fulfill WP:ORGDEPTH and WP:GNG while in "reality" at AfD, all that school needs is to exists, having web presence (primary source) is another keep, keep. So that's why I said incessant nomination (not first time) can be disruptuve –Ammarpad (talk) 17:04, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your statement that "nominating high schools for deletion is at least waste of time at worst disruption" seemed to apply to all nominations, Ammarpad. In any case, what tool did you use to do this analysis? Cordless Larry (talk) 17:10, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Cordless Larry: I think that @Ammarpad:may be right about the community's standard practice being to keep high school articles. I went to check closed AfD's and I found that in a random sample of ten high school articles, the finding in eight was to keep and in the other two it was no consensus. So I think that next time I see a high school article I will steer clear from submitting it for AfD. Thinker78 (talk) 20:56, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Cordless Larry:. Thank you, I now modified nominating with 'incessant'. I don't mean All, but certainly I mean many, "many" in every sense. Then you second question, I already said it is just basic Arithmetic, that's going through AfDs and sifting the High schools ones and kept watching them till they close. On majority of them I neither voted nor commented just interested in the outcome. And I am sure this AfD will only substantiate my findings. –Ammarpad (talk) 10:26, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Articles are deleted or kept following consensus or lack thereof, not by voting. WP:CONSENSUS state, "Consensus refers to the primary way decisions are made on Wikipedia... Consensus on Wikipedia does not mean unanimity... nor is it the result of a vote." Thinker78 (talk) 23:48, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep standard practice. Blythwood (talk) 18:38, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • But do you have arguments based on policy, content or sourcing? Or is it again the classic circular reasoning so popular on wp:schooloutcomes but dismissed by RFC? The Banner talk 10:40, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Secondary schools of confirmed existence have long been regarded as inherently notable at AfD, much in the same way that rivers, mountains, villages, and professional athletes are regarded as inherently notable. I support this longstanding consensus. Carrite (talk) 05:04, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • But do you have arguments based on policy, content or sourcing? Or is it again the classic circular reasoning so popular on wp:schooloutcomes but dismissed by RFC? The Banner talk 10:40, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Most of us know that these subjects have sourcing, tons of sourcing. It's not always online, but it's there. We (collective of wikipedia editors) could spend hundreds of hours trying to prove this point, and might or might not "win" this particular discussion, but the information is there and it will probably be found, then the article will be written again. In the process, valuable effort is wasted. If we're going to build the encyclopedia, we don't need to spend all our time fighting amongst ourselves on something where the outcome is really already known. That's why Outcomes was written, and although it may have been abused it certainly served us well. We can either respect our traditions or we can devolve into an anarchy of AfD wars. This school certainly exists, and we should keep the article and give it time to improve.Jacona (talk) 12:18, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • User:The Banner,I can't be responsible for fixing every problem, right now. That doesn't mean that everything, created by anyone, that I don't fix this second should be destroyed. Perhaps if you would spend a small percentage of the time you've spent responding to every comment here to improving the article, it would have good article status by now. :) Jacona (talk) 19:28, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a secondary school per longstanding precedent and consensus. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:45, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • But do you have arguments based on policy, content or sourcing? Or is it again the classic circular reasoning so popular on wp:schooloutcomes but dismissed by RFC? The Banner talk 10:40, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep - per precedent pointed out by Ammarpad and others. Also suggest specific direction be provided regarding schools so as to settle the issue. Last attempt appears to be 2007-09 here. Unless specialized criteria is created, I suggest senior high schools meet WP:ORG. Operator873CONNECT 23:01, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Jacona makes a good point as do the others who rightfully call these nominations a waste of time given that schools are very notable places of interest to communities and just because the sources are not there now, does not mean they can't be found , see also WP:HEY. Also schools are places of local interest see WP:local. These nominations seem to be in bad faith. Why would anyone working on a encyclopedia of human knowledge gain pleasure (if the article for deletion passes) at seeing verifiable knowledge of local institutions be sent down the deletion hole? I honestly don't understand it.Egaoblai (talk) 04:08, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not saying that they are the most vandalised articles. Some of the most vandalised articles are on very prominent, important topics, and should obviously be kept, whereas I would argue that time spent keeping school articles free of vandalism is wasted, as those articles are generally of little encyclopedic value. Cordless Larry (talk) 10:36, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really agree to with one part of your comment here, that is High schools have very little encyclopedic value and this is not the first place I am saying this: Don't forget; we met here and I made it clear my personal view is that HS must meet WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH strictly, but Community consensus is strongly against that, only now I understand we met there. –Ammarpad (talk) 11:04, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- meets WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES as discussed above.--Rusf10 (talk) 05:33, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per sources, both from newspapers and the government, which cover the school in-depth. Sure, the recent RFC means we can't just assert an article should be kept without sources, but they exist in this case. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 05:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a person "notable" primarily as president of a political party's local chapter in one city. This is not a claim of notability that gets a person over WP:NPOL in and of itself -- a person has to hold office in a legislature to be considered notable as a politician. But this isn't referenced even close to well enough to get him over WP:GNG in lieu -- it's referenced entirely to primary sources, unsubstantive blurbs and glancing namechecks of his existence in coverage of other things, not to anything like sufficient coverage about him.

Article was DeProdded due to "Notable roles in All My Children and The Sopranos," but how is being in only 31 of the 10,000+ episodes of the former and 5 of the 86 episodes of the latter constitutes as "notable" or "significant?" When WP:NACTOR says "significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, etc.," doesn't that mean a lead or main role in a show for at least one or two whole seasons, which this subject lacks (as her other roles were brief cameos or single episode guest appearances)? She also lacks a fan base (no active social media accounts), significant coverage in entertainment sources (heck, the article's only source does not even mention her), or notable award wins or nominations, so I do not see her meeting WP:NACTOR, WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG.

Poorly sourced article about a recording studio and record label, without adequate reliable source coverage about it to clear WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH: three of the four references here are glancing namechecks of the owner's existence in primary sources, i.e. the self-published websites of things he's been directly affiliated with, while the fourth is a glancing namecheck of the company's existence, in an article that's about a musician who once recorded there, rather than being about the company. This is not the kind of sourcing it takes to make an independent record label notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Bearcat (talk) 20:11, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a company, with no claim of more than local notability and not enough strong reliable source coverage -- this is sourced 50 per cent to primary sources (its own self-published website, the self-published websites of people or organizations that have had some form of direct affiliation with it, etc.) and 50 per cent to purely local media coverage in its own area. To qualify for a Wikipedia article, however, a company has to pass WP:CORPDEPTH requirements, by having wider coverage beyond just its own local area — but this doesn't have that. And for added bonus there's a conflict of interest here, as the creator's username corresponds directly to the name of the PR person for one of the affiliated organizations named in the article body.

  • Keep Sources to satisfy GNG are easily found, as the casino proposal has been a subject of prolific news coverage for over 3 years. Seems like a failure of WP:BEFORE. Some sources found in a cursory search: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] Toohool (talk) 05:46, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • That is coverage and a blog about the proposal.  The topic we are discussing is a 2020 casino that might end up opening in 2023 or never.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:50, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I linked to 10 substantial stories from a variety of reliable sources about the proposed casino. The proposal for the casino is not a distinct, separate topic from the casino. You seem to be arguing that any planned or proposed project is inherently non-notable, and that any articles about such topics are inherently promotional. That is not policy, and there's no promotional content in the article. Toohool (talk) 16:29, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
That which is distinct is the past and the future.  I've replied further below.
With the new material you've added, you use the name "Cordish/Greenwood proposal".  Unscintillating (talk) 06:46, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and salt  Even if there is material for a history article that could avoid failing WP:NOTNEWSPAPER, the article we are discussing is a coatrack for promotion.  I was unable to identify any suitable targets for a salted redirect at this time.  Unscintillating (talk) 15:50, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also support a Merge to Cordish/Greenwood proposal and salt the remaining redirect  There is a new history section that can be moved to create a relevant article.  Unscintillating (talk) 06:46, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You've got to be kidding, I challenge you to find just one sentence in that article that is promotional. Simply stating the a project is planned is NOT a promotion. And I probably could find a hundred articles on here about projects that have not been finished yet, so that is a solid argument either. Given that Pennsylvania only can issue a limited number of licenses for casinos and this was one of them its notable. And since the project has now cleared all legal hurtles, it is more likely than not to be finished.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:47, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article reports in the infobox that the casino has "200+" hotel rooms...that is erroneous.  The article's statement that the casino "will have over 200 hotel rooms" cannot be verifiable in 2017, so is puffery using Wikipedia's voice.  No sources report the day that the casino opened, because the casino doesn't exist.  Writing an article about a non-existent casino and its non-existent hotel rooms reifies the casino.  I looked at the definition of "promotion" and believe that my assertion that this article is promotion is well founded.  Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and we can wait until 2020 or 2021 to report about 2020.  Unscintillating (talk) 06:46, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
According to the Washington Post [11], there will actually be 240 hotel rooms, so 200+ is actually being conservative. Using your same ridiculous definition of promotion, why do you go ahead and nominate every page it this category for deletion: Category:Proposed buildings and structures in the United States --Rusf10 (talk) 04:46, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your arguments for deletion just keep getting more absurd. Original research?????? Everything is cited. You seem to be fixated on the number of hotel rooms. The plan is 240 according to multiple sources: Philadelphia Business JournalWPVI (ABC)New York Times And the doesn't exist yet argument is really getting old. And when I look up definitions, I prefer to use Dictionary.com--Rusf10 (talk) 03:50, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak keep seems to have enough sources to meet WP:N. WP:TOOSOON isn't really on point, but WP:CRYSTAL is. Both accept meeting WP:N as enough to overcome the issues. Weak because the sources aren't great and I'd like to see better for something like this. None of our policies seem to require that the thing in question be certain to happen--they just ask for sources. I can't see the article, so no clue on being overly promotional. Hobit (talk) 05:05, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment  A source dated 15 November 2017 from Poker news Daily states, "It looks like a thirteenth license will be added, as well, as the bill opened the door for the Live! Hotel and Casino Philadelphia to begin construction."  Emphasis on the "it looks like", as this means that construction has not begun, and construction was on hold at the end of October 2017.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:45, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Can you point at some policy or guideline that indicates that matters? Even if it never gets built, I think it would be over the WP:N bar and so might make sense to keep (though under a different name perhaps). But maybe I'm missing something obvious. Hobit (talk) 05:18, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Notability?  What did I say about notability?
        I assume that I could write a proper and neutral article about this plan.  But the title of the article would identify that it is a plan (or project or proposal).  It would all be in past tense.  It would not have an infobox.  Readers would like it because it would tell them something they can verify and rely on, not a science fiction story about 2020.  An article about the plan will be timeless, rather than being subject to being rewritten in 2020.
        The point of the recent news story from which I quoted, is to show just how far away from reality the reified view of 2020 is.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:05, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to be arguing for a rename and some changes to the article content, rather than a deletion (though I can't understand exactly what content changes you would like to see). Your arguments about the name are simply not consistent with how other articles about proposed or canceled buildings are titled. See Category:Proposed buildings and structures and Category:Unbuilt buildings and structures. They are almost universally titled simply by the proposed building's name, not as a "plan" or "proposal". Toohool (talk) 03:25, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sentences written three years in the future in future tense are guaranteed to not be timeless.  You concede that sources from 2020 are not available, and that WP:DEL6 applies to articles that "cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources.".  Nor do you deny that reifying a commercial property that doesn't exist is promotional puffery.  And your defense is that we would have to add the word "plan" or "proposal" or "project" to the title of the article?
As for having separate articles for the planning and post-opening phases, see the Lewis and Clark Bridge (Ohio River), which opened in December 2016, and the Ohio River Bridges Project, which dates back to before 2004.  Unscintillating (talk) 00:22, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument is not based in reality. Can you point to a single sentence in the article that is "written three years in the future in future tense"? Can you point to a single thing in the article that is not "attributed to reliable sources"? Can you point to anything in the article that is "promotional puffery"? Toohool (talk) 00:37, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Those might be difficult questions for him, so I'll answer. The answer to all three questions is no.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:49, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The article already makes clear that the building doesn't exist yet (at least to anyone with half a brain). There's no need to put it in the article title. There are already plenty of reliable sources for the project. But if it would make you feel better, I'll fire up my flux capacitor to 2020 and report back to you with new sources.--Rusf10 (talk) 00:47, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment  With this edit, Rusf10 has removed the report that the current number of rooms in the hotel is 240.  The future tense is also gone.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:00, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, basically per nom. Not enough here to pass WP:NSPORT. Nsk92 (talk) 19:56, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I believe the most important fact is that there's no indication that WP:GNG is met. All of the coverage concerns one event, her 500th win as coach, and appears to fall under WP:BLP1E. That fact alone doesn't meet any notability criteria. As far as local coverage goes, the section for high school athletes (no mention of coaches) at WP:NSPORT says "excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications...especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability." As far as coaching success and awards go, I don't see anything encyclopedic. She is one of 1717 coaches in the New Jersey high school coaches hall of fame [17] and never won even a New Jersey regional championship, much less a state title[18]. I'm just don't see her meeting any WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 02:06, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for numerous reasons. Failing WP:GNG for lack of independent significant coverage. Failing WP:MUSICBIO completely; even the article admit he is wannabe musician not signed to any major label. External links in reference to download Mp3 file directly is covert pamming. The SPA creator is either fawning fan or narcissistic autobiographer; 2 years after account creation he never edited any page (his viewable edits) except this one and their G11 deleted user page. This is professional subtle promotion so as to game G11. With these and many more reasons above this page should be deleted. –Ammarpad (talk) 09:42, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. There are some sources (although not particularly spectacular ones) cited in the article, and GoogleBooks searching shows that there is some additional coverage available. In particular, a GoogleBooks search returns a hit to this book(unfortunately no preview is available), as well as to something from Time [19], to this book [20], and a few other things.

Unless someone can find a source that gives that kind of information, I'd get rid of it.

There are no reliable sources on this article, only IMDb which is not reliable, and seeks to cover everyone ever appearing in film, while we have a much higher limit, 2 significant roles in notable producetions, or a few other guidelines. None of which Wood meets. Additionally my search for more sources came up totally blank on sources on this Yolanda Wood. There is another Yolanda Wood who is a Cuban born professor of Latin American art, even she is probably not notable, but I get lots more hits on that Yolanda Wood than this one. The article has been tagged for improvment for over 8 years, and nothing has improved. Wood is generally a bit part actress, this is not the sort of thing that notability is made of.

Non-notable piece of software, written by a COI editor. The article was declined at AfC, then moved to mainspace by Nihonjoe despite a fairly damning critique of the article on the talk page. Although the article has references, most (if not all) of them are press releases or self-published content. A search for other sources returns pretty much the same thing. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:19, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

COI drafter here. :) I can attest to the objectivity of the references. There are no press releases or self-published content in references in 1 - 6 or 12. The self-posted listings of ZipBooks integration pages were removed by this editor but added back by a different editor. I'm not sure the claims against the references bear up against closer scrutiny. For example, the WSJ clearly meets to notability standard. The second reference is n in a local newspaper. The third reference is a statement issued by the State of Utah Governor's Office. The 4 - 6 references are reporters for tech or accounting news and aren't advertorials. I think if you read the story it's pretty clear that these reporters are in some instances skeptics about the need for another accounting software program. Reference 12 is a review from PC Mag which also is pretty clear we wouldn't pay for. @Nihonjoe:Thoughts on the references mentioned? JustaZBguy (talk) 03:34, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Nihonjoe's analysis on the talk page clearly indicates problematic sources, but also clearly shows significant coverage by multiple sources that are independent of the subject, including the wsj.com reference behind a paywall (to which I have access, and it's a good source). The question is, should the article be about the company or the software? It is possible for the software to be notable (by virtue of independent reviews) without the company being notable. If the software is notable, the article could easily be re-cast to be about that. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:51, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As I showed on Talk:ZipBooks, the article very clearly meets WP:N and WP:V, so there is no valid reason for deletion. The article was completely rewritten by me before it was moved, so the "damning critique" is irrelevant. I agree with Anachronist regarding the need to perhaps make the article about the software or the company instead of both. Right now, they are really pretty much the same thing as they only have this one software as far as I can tell. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 20:39, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looking at this editor's edit history, we see rapid fire !voting in AfDs sorted alphabetically, typically spending one minute per AfD.  When I studied this pattern a couple of months ago, I noticed that the editor never brings sources to the AfD.  This means to me that this is evidence that the editor is not looking for sources.  The !vote here is especially transparent as the nomination is not based on notability, nor does the !vote claim that the topic fails GNG.  The editor completed this !vote in 1 minute 12 seconds. 
    It is my opinion that this !vote is not a valid argument for deletion, so if the nominator withdraws under the advice of WP:BEFORE, the AfD can be closed under the authority of WP:SK.  Unscintillating (talk) 13:36, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - The nomination was made in good faith, but I could find no sources (in any language which I could understand) to convince me that there were reliable sources. I realise that sources not in English are acceptable, but it needs to be left to those who understand the languages concerned to assess the acceptability of the sources. Obviously the article has changed out of all recognition since the nomination, and it is good that a number of apparently erroneous statements which seemed to be the main claims to notability in the version which existed at that time have now been removed. --David Biddulph (talk) 00:56, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Anytime! All sources I added are reliable. Most also count to Mitic's significance, others just for referencing info in the article. Information that I could not confirm, I have removed. I kindly requested an anonymous contributor not to add speculative data. There is no question of bad faith here, just a recommendation to check better before AfD-ing.

If there were a huge amount of coverage in these few days such that we could assume it would continue, that would be one thing, but this seems like it's more likely that it won't be lasting. No opinion on a merge target. Don't know that 4chan would be right for WP:WEIGHT purposes though. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:40, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update: Given there has continued to be coverage, I've struck my delete vote. Still not clear whether we would look back a year from now and call it "lasting coverage" but it's trending that way sufficiently that I don't see a reason to support deleting. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:03, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge: to 4chan#Internet memes. 4chan seems apt at making memes which attract transient media attention due to their controversial nature. I doubt any lasting notability independent of 4chan will be available, and at any rate it's too soon to tell. For now, best just to merge; Wikipedia isn't a meme database.

You are misusing that guideline. WP:ONEEVENT deals with articles about people - this is a protest or event as far as I can tell. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1] 21:25, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Or you could try to be a little less pedantic and look at the spirit of the guideline. In any case, the exact same principle applies to events. So WP:LASTING then. jps (talk) 22:19, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
They're different incidents, in different, widely separated locations (by the width of a continent!), with different people involved. But even so, we've got thousands of articles about single events, see Category:Events_by_month for example. Some of the events became Wikipedia:Featured articles, such as Stephen Colbert at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner after it survived its nomination for deletion. This series of events seems to have plenty of lasting impact, as you can see by the news articles that keep being written about it throughout the course of this AFD, even. --GRuban (talk) 23:21, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:LASTING: "It may take weeks or months to determine whether or not an event has a lasting effect. This does not, however, mean recent events with unproven lasting effect are automatically non-notable."E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:38, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Per WP:EVENTCRIT which says "Routine kinds of news events (including most crimes, accidents, deaths, celebrity or political news, "shock" news, stories lacking lasting value such as "water cooler stories," and viral phenomena) – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance."

Such a list is problematic from many different angles. First of all, it is not referenced, which is a particular problem when listing living people in combination with a potential crime. Secondly, the inclusion criteria "famous" is too ambiguous. Thirdly, in legal terms we have the presumption of innocence. If someone is just accused and later cleared, his personality rights should be preserved. Just being accused effectively means nothing. Fourth, legal definitions change. In the past, any form of homosexuality was sexual misconduct, it is not any more. Would we include anyone accused of something in the past that no longer is considered such? pseudonym Jake Brockman talk 09:51, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. A reasonable amount of coverage found from multiple sources, but generally fairly brief items: Exclaim!, Decibel, Worcester Magazine, Allmusic, (again). Much coverage of metal bands tends to be in print sources that are not found online, so it seems likely more will exist (e.g. in Kerrang/Metal Hammer/Terrorizer etc,).

  • Keep per WP:BAND #5 - has released two albums on Victory Records. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 18:39, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep In addition to the WP:NBAND#5 argument posited by Lugnuts, the sources that Michig has found show significant coverage, though I am unsure whether those consist of reliable sources. I was considering erring on the side of caution here, but the probability of the SNG/SSG and multiple reviews found in and outside of the article push me over here. I'm not an expert here, so to some extent relying on Michig's note that 'much coverage of metal bands tends to be in print sources that are not found online, so it seems likely more will exist (e.g. in Kerrang/Metal Hammer/Terrorizer etc,)' (Italics not mine). Again unsure on reliability however. Analysis by more experts in this field would be definitely a big plus. J947 (cm) 21:28, 24 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In: Metal Hammer. September 2010, S. 99. and 2. Thomas Strater: Wretched. Son of Perdition. In: Metal Hammer. Mai 2012, S. 105..

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: The nomination is actually slightly vague (not the extent of WP:SKCRIT#1, I think), but the questions here are whether the place exists, and if so, does it pass WP:GEOFEAT? Even the discussion linked to has an editor seemingly saying both; that on the one hand that they don't think it exists, but that, on the other, it's "just a locality/area of Raisinghnagar." I was tempted to close this as keep, per the vague nomination, and the fact that even (what can be taken as) the co-nominator's uncertainty as to whether it doesn't exist. But, it is better for the community to enjoy this one I think.

  • G11 - Not entirely sure why User: Liz only seems to have addressed the G3 nomination (which yes, shouldn't have been there). But this is G11 pretty loud and clear. The current version, which actually seems to be the more toned down version, doesn't have really anything here that someone would obviously need or want if the subject was in fact notable and they sat down to write a quality article. That's... G11. GMGtalk 17:31, 15 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know what is G11, I have read just now. Some admins may decline because article is around for a long time, maybe AFD is only way. Raymond3023 (talk) 03:57, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete India has one of the largest, liveliest media scenes in the world, yet this orgganization got 7 hits, the sole hit in India was echoed, so make that 6 hits, total in a proquest news archive search on "National Human Rights Council of India." But that hit is a doozy. NGO misusing its identity, warns rights panel, 2 December 2010 Hindustan Times. Here's the text: "India's apex human rights authority, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Thursday alerted state governments on the misuse of its identity by an NGO with a similar name. The organisation in question is the National Human Rights Council of India (NHRCI). "The National Human Rights Commission has asked all concerned state governments to take action against the National Human Rights Council of India (NHRCI) for misusing the name of NHRC. The concerned organisation's email address also resembles the NHRC's," a statement said here. "It has been observed that some NGOs give false impression to the public that they are working on behalf of the NHRC. Some of them also wrongly claim to be either members of the NHRC or being associated with it," it added. The commission said that the NHRC had no branches in states, and it neither registers nor authorises any NGO to carry out work on its behalf. "Any institution or NGO claiming to be functioning on behalf of the NHRC or having affiliation with it is liable for action against it by the concerned state authorities as per the law," it added."E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:17, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note The AfD seems to have been created incorrectly, it is redlinked in the template on National Human Rights Council of India.E.M.Gregory (talk) 19:17, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Partly because there's not a whole lot of discussion here, but mostly (and perhaps related) because of the redlink issue found by E.M.Gregory. Let's give this another week to make sure everybody who should be notified gets a chance to comment.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, -- RoySmith (talk) 00:06, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for finding that, but let's just let this run anyway. It's not like there was a huge amount of disucssion, and the world isn't going to end if we talk about it for another week. -- RoySmith (talk) 04:19, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I am not opposed to relisting, was just clarifying that I had properly created the AfD. Raymond3023 (talk) 04:24, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: The original 2009 article linked to the website of what now describes itself as National Human Rights Community India ([22]) whereas the article, after being stripped down by IP edits in 2010-11, links to the website of Human Rights Council of India (Protection of Human Rights) [23], with the article text a close paraphrase of the latter organisation's website. It claims to have been founded in 2012, 2 years after the NHRC warning (alternative link) which may have referred to the first organisation. I suspect there's been repurposing along the convoluting article history. But anyway, the wording is promotional (and possibly falling under Copyvio) and I am seeing no evidence that either of these organisations meets WP:ORGDEPTH.

  • Delete: This "article" is literally a short paragraph with an empty external links section. First person pronouns were used making it totally informal, the writing is just poor all around, and the oddly placed link and author being related to the organization makes it seem like advertising of some sort. Not meeting WP:V, is however meeting WP:NOTPROMO which is also bad. Grapefruit17 (talk) 16:28, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article created in 2006 and still it fails WP:ORG and WP:CORPDEPTH. Raymond3023 (talk) 04:07, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Hi Raymond3023, if you are going to nominate an article for deletion then you are going to need to explain how and why an article fails a standard.You cannot simply say it does without explanation. A brief search on the internet reveals that this exchange certainly did/does exist[1] and its clear the page needs updating, this is not a reason for deletion.Egaoblai (talk) 04:49, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Egaoblai it seems that I bad results from the Bing search at the time I nominated. Now I am finding a few descriptions on reliable sources in form books as well. I withdraw this. Raymond3023 (talk) 05:19, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
