  • Keep Took a quick look at the article. Appears to me it's worth keeping. It has 3 existing references from 2015, also 1 reference from Washington post newspaper.Ngrewal1 (talk) 01:11, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Clearly valid, and referenced list and contained notable people with defined inclusion criteria. Notewirthy is, this is clear revenge nomination after the nominator's articles are AfD'ed. –Ammarpad (talk) 08:50, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Procedural Keep If redirection is an acceptable option for the nominator, then the nominator should not have brought the article to AfD in the first place. (Also, it's a perfectly acceptable topic for a list anyway.) XOR'easter (talk) 21:38, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep This is — and the others are — eminently notable and definitively established by WP:RS. There are a very limited number of potential lists like these (limited, albeit growing, number of countries and winners) and are absolutely bringing readers. ~ Amory (utc) 16:16, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As a procedural note, the nominator is currently blocked and thus unable to participate. ~ Amory (utc) 16:16, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Clearly valid, and referenced list and contained notable people with defined inclusion criteria. Also as I said in the other nominations, this is clear revenge nomination after the nominator's unreferenced articles are AfD'ed. –Ammarpad (talk) 08:54, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

The subject doesn't appear to be notable. Sources are product reviews at best and do not cover the subject in any detail. For example, none of the "History" section's sources mention the history at all. The article also blatantly misrepresents its subject; according to the sources it's a brand, not a company in its own right. Huon (talk) 22:27, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a stub article for a TV series that was ordered in August 2014, but after multiple delays the network dropped it in March 2017. Since then, there haven't been any news regarding the status of production. -- Radiphus 22:15, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's Comment: The article's creator, Billy Hathorn, typically copied content from written sources that aren't online. It's difficult to prove copyvio in such cases, especially since the sources he used are micro-local, but it was his MO, and the reason he was banned from Wikipedia. See Bearcat's comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A. B. George. Marquardtika (talk) 19:39, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep without prejudice to a future renomination if after a reasonable period of time it appears that the subject may fail notability guidelines based on a lack of SUSTAINED coverage and clear evidence of long term significance of this event. Currently it is likely too early to form definitive judgements on whether or not those criteria will be met. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:35, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Post close addendum This close is w/o prejudice to a potential move which was raised by several editors. Just ensure there is consensus, which can be established in a discussion on the article talk page. -Ad Orientem (talk) 21:55, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The death of this fellow was the result of official action by the Iranian government. Arrested for involvement in the recent economic protests, he was transferred to a prison that is well-known as a torture facility and one in which protestors have been murdered previously. This is not an isolated or PR event, this is an historically significant event during which this fellow was murdered. As an on-going event there are unknown elements which may emerge to justify a larger article but this death alone is still significant. Militärwissenschaften (talk) 02:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • In fact, the issue is effectively addressed by editors urging a change in article title. I will add that people not notable in life can and often do become notable when their death draws widespread attention.E.M.Gregory (talk) 21:42, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks to all who have said to keep it. It is a consensus therefore, the page should remain. Many internationally well known sources have reported his death under torture. I do agree with E.M. Gregory. Good point. Grateful. Alex-h (talk) 21:23, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks for the discussions. We are being led to keep the article given the notability of the issue and durable effect this death has left behind. To merge with the suggested articles is minimizing the event particularly when the articles are very long. Therefore I respectfully believe the article should remain. Alex-h (talk) 23:06, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Everything in the world is a "single event". 9/11 was a single event, and so was the boston bombing. What WP:1E means is that if a single event did not have lasting impact, then we should delete the page. Just saying that "this was a single event" is no bueno in my opinion. Now this event has had lasting impact, and therefore it does not fall under one event. The article should be kept, without a merger. Elektricity (talk) 11:42, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete mayors of such a small town are no where near notable. Small town newspaper articles from over half a century ago are just not the things passing GNG is made of. For a local politician to be notable, we need to show that the media coverage is significantly more than is normal for local politicians. Otherwise, we would need to create tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of more articles on small city mayors. Except we are woefully behind in even creating articles on members of US state legislatures, a group that in theory we should have an article on every person who ever was such. Don't even get me started on how we do not have articles on even all the current members of the legisltive body of Ghana.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:44, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep there is enough information in his two obituaries one from New Jersey and one from Schenectady for a stand alone article. the Schenectady is behind a paywall at Genealogy Bank and my subscription has expired. --RAN (talk) 20:39, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Two obituaries in local newspapers do not give someone notability. Having enough information to write an aritcle and establishing notability are two different things.--Rusf10 (talk) 20:50, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
There is no restrictions in WP:GNG on using local media as reliable sources for notability. If you want to change the GNG, lobby for changes on the talk page there. --RAN (talk) 21:04, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's not just an issue of local media, you're relying on obituaries, that's routine coverage. When you, I, or anyone else here passes, we'll have obituaries in the local newspaper too, it doesn't establish notability.--Rusf10 (talk) 23:51, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, here we go again, I will just cut and paste again WP:Routine: "Wedding announcements, sports scores, crime logs, and other items that tend to get an exemption from newsworthiness discussions should be considered routine. Routine events such as sports matches, film premieres, press conferences etc." No mention of obits as you already know ... and please don't bother with "these are just examples" if they meant obits they would have mentioned them. --RAN (talk) 01:08, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, how you love to copy and paste that, everything must be a literal reading. So my grandparents both got obits in local newspapers, can I write articles on them? It's funny though you started with everyone who has a New York Times obit gets an article and now its anyone who has an obit anywhere gets an article. So I guess pretty much all dead people have defacto notability. Your keep argument should be summed up as "Keep- dead people are notable."--Rusf10 (talk) 01:47, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Those are listed as examples of what qualifies as routine coverage, not as the entire list of everything that qualifies. Obituaries are routine, because every single person who exists at all gets one somewhere whether they passed a Wikipedia notability criterion or not. My grandparents would qualify for Wikipedia articles if the existence of an obituary in the local newspaper was all it took. Bearcat (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That would violate the "Wikipedia is not genealogy" rule. Lobby to get WP:GNG and lobby to get WP:Routine changed, then you delete tens of thousands of biographies instead of dozens. --RAN (talk) 02:17, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That says "Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic.". If we want to read that literally, it only applies to listing relatives in subject's article. It says nothing about creating new topics for each person.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:23, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While RAN is correct that WP:GNG doesn't preclude local coverage from being included in the notability pool, we do have a consensus that if a person fails all of our SNGs, and so you're shooting for "still notable just because media coverage exists" instead, then that media coverage does have to extend beyond the purely local and routine. For similar examples, an actress who has had only local stage roles with the local youth theatre company, but has never had a film or television role that might actually get her over WP:NACTOR, does not clear GNG just because she's been profiled in the local newspaper; the owner of a local non-chain restaurant does not clear GNG just because the local newspaper's food critic wrote a restaurant review; and smalltown mayors do not clear GNG just because their death resulted in an obituary in their local newspaper just as could be simply expected for any mayor of anywhere. If a person;s notability claim passes an SNG as a topic of legitimately broad interest, then we don't care how local or non-local the sourcing is (a state legislator doesn't have to get nationalized coverage to qualify for an article, for example) — but if you're going for "doesn't pass any SNG but is still notable under GNG just because press coverage exists", then you do have to show significantly more press coverage than other equivalent people at the same level of significance could also show. But nothing here passes NPOL, and none of the coverage suggests a reason why he could be considered more notable than the norm for an otherwise non-notable role. Bearcat (talk) 17:18, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete for politicians coverage needs to be more than routine local coverage. That is not achieved here. RAN would have us keep the current system where a few places have dedicated local historians mining old nespaper archieves and get articles on people orders of magnitude less notable than we get for any other place. This is not the way to approach creating a world-wide Encyclopedia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:34, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete routine unimportant career with routine unimportant coverage. The only US newspaper om which having a full obit is accepted here as a sufficient indication of notability is the NYTimes.

The individual represented in this article received a brief burst of attention due to her age, which tapered off after her death. All three sources in this article, as well as nearly all the others that I could find in a good-faith search, are obituaries, which does not suggest that the subject meets the level of coverage that would satisfy the requirements of WP:N. There's no Wikipedia policy or consensus that states that the oldest anything is automatically notable by the encyclopedia's standards; numerous AfDs on the "oldest" individuals have been kept or deleted based on their individual merits. Thus we default to the general notability guidelines and, in this case, any material of encyclopedic merit can be included on the many longevity-related lists on Wikipedia Canadian Paul 15:13, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: world's longest-serving nun, coverage across the other side other big pond; quietly notable. PamD 10:48, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Why is it a problem if nearly all the available sources are obituaries? I can't find any guidance suggesting so. I've found more recent (and non-obituary) coverage but what I found there was briefer and did not add anything to what had already been reported. And the "event" is not solely that she lived a long time, or that she was in the monastery a long time – what is covered, briefly, is her quiet life. For me, a nice little biography. I'd have no interest in her name being included in a list of longest anything or a list of people who met the pope in strange circumstances. Thincat (talk) 11:54, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep In my view, this bio does meet our general notability guidelines.

@Szzuk: I'm a bit confused as well... it seems that Jean Jay would probably pass WP:N, so I could probably withdraw in that case, but I must be missing where the proof is that Charlotte Francis and Jean Jay are the same person.

While linked and amplified in some Western reporting (in particular calls for her freedom and whereabouts) this is actually not connected. This protest took place a day+ before the Iranian protests erupted (and in a city, Teharan, that was not the initial outbreak) and we are seeing copycat protests after the Iranian protests are over - this was an issue regarding coverage of this event in 2017–18 Iranian protests. This event (and shows of support, memes, and copycats) is standalone notable - she has become the poster woman of the anti hijab coercion movement in Iran.Icewhiz (talk) 00:03, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pirsharafshah (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

*Delete - Pointless content fork. She isn't notable outside the event and Wikipedia is not news.

  • Keep: I guess it's too soon to make decision about deletion of this article. We still need to wait and observe the the consequence and future effects of her action. If it turns to a continuing movement of similar actions among other people (which apparently it has already started) or becomes a large scale campaign, then she will meet the notability criteria, as was the case for Mohamed Bouazizi, the Tunisian street vendor who set himself on fire, which became a catalyst for the Tunisian Revolution as well as the Arab Spring. Therefore, I believe this nomination should be postponed for the next 6-12 months to see the results of her action. FaraM 04:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @TheGracefulSlick:, Then, we can possibly move the content into the other article (perhaps there should be an article on "The Resistance Movement of Iranian Women Against Islamic Hijab"); Meanwhile and for the time being, I think we should keep the page and title and redirect the page to the new section of the second article.

Mirraw is not a "run of the mill" company - it is one of the biggest online retailers in the world's fastest growing online retail market (india) and to this day is a bootstrapped company (another "novel" aspect about Mirraw - to have raised funding would have made them "run of the mill"). The sources are not all Press Releases either - the first 3 references are absolutely bonafide from some of India's biggest media companies, and the last one, though not from a "media" source (but still not a press release) - it is a website that is run by Franchise owners association of India and they feature their artices about promising companies. Its not a news-media socurce in the traditional sense but it is no press release either. user:Subho2017 —Preceding undated comment added 17:07, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The first two references are (slightly) rewritten press releases, also known as churnalism. The other two are straight press releases with no attempt made to make them look like real articles. It is really rather unmistakeable. --bonadea contributions talk 17:53, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please wait - I have found other authentic articles to replace the last 2. Thanks for teaching me what "churnalism" is - but regardless the first two are from reputed sources, at least very reputed in India user:Subho2017

I think when Wikipedia alleges that some entity is not famous, they probably mean "not globally famous". But I hope they realize, that India is a highly populous country and one of the fasting growing economies in the world. It is entirely possible for an Indian company to have more users (all within India) than some "international" app or website. It s entirely possible for some Indian book or film to sell more copies/views than some book/film from France or Italy. Please note that most of the references for this article are from very reputable sources - again sources that may not be well known in the outside world but which most likely have more viewership in India than The Guardian of the UK or La Figaro of France. Also being that India is one of the fastest growing economies, often "unknown" companies of India are actually poised to become some of the biggest in the world - for eg - each of the "e-tailers" of India (fastest growing ecommerce market, now that China has topped out), though not well known to the outside world, are actually on their way to becoming among the biggest in the world. Same with Mirraw - it does not have to be popular outside India.

Wikipedia has to realize that the bulk of their viewership now comes from emerging economies like India, rather than a UK or Australia - and the trend will keep growing for decades to come. user:Subho2017 —Preceding undated comment added 09:28, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While you are right about the need to cater to a global readership, and Wikipedia policy agrees with you about that, there are a couple of misunderstandings in the post above.
  • First, Wikipedia does not care about an entity being famous. "Famous" is never a criterion for inclusion, and nor is "popular" - "notable" is the criterion, and that is something rather different. Especially since Wikipedia has a particular definition of notability. Most famous people and things are probably notable, but many notable people and things are very far from being famous. The criteria a company needs to meet are presented here and here.
  • Second, it is indeed quite possible to be locally or regionally notable. Flipkart and Myntra cater to the Indian market only and most people outside India have never heard of them, but they are very obviously notable. So that would also not be a valid reason to remove an article, and it is not the issue here.
  • Third, as has already been explained, sources have to be independent. A press release is never going to be an indication of notability even if it is published in The Hindu or The Times or The Washington Post or any other of the world's major publications. A feature article in a major national newspaper is going to carry more weight than a feature article in a small local newspaper, but that is not the concern in this case. Have a look at WP:SPIP which says "Publication in a reliable source is not always good evidence of notability" and goes on to explain why that is not the case.
One press release source has been removed from the article but it was replaced with another one, so there are still no independent sources in the article. --bonadea contributions talk 10:44, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. This is an article from the earlier days of WP that no longer satisfies existence requirements and has likely survived this long because of its obscurity (ORPHAN, low page views). It's basically a CV, having no RS. Awards are obscure. Book holdings are very low, for example WorldCat shows that Quick Guide is held by 4 and Creativity and Personality Type by 25 institutions. Notability claims, e.g. that she is recognized for contributions to the fields of creativity and psychology, and for founding World Creativity and Innovation Day, April 21 seem to be unsubstantiated PUFF.

  • I am not sure that redirecting The Not-So-Great Moments in Sports to an article about a living person without explanation is a good idea. It is only mentioned briefly in reference to something he said, which is not sourced:
On July 4, 1976, McCarver hit what is known as a "Grand Slam Single" when, after hitting a grand slam, he passed his teammate Garry Maddox on the basepath. While hosting the HBO special The Not-so-Great Moments in Sports, McCarver later claimed to have said to the umpire, "I didn't pass him, he lapped me." Asked how Maddox could have done that, McCarver replied, "Sheer speed." The event was commemorated in the book The Baseball Hall of Shame 3 as "Tim McCarver's Grand Sob." (no ref)
Otherwise, I would say it's not notable and should be deleted. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 11:47, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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

David Sams has recently been in the news extensively for the Google Assistant Jesus Christ incident [11], however, outside of that (which would be BLP1E) doesn't seem to have a footprint in RS. The article makes a number of extraordinary claims like he's personally won 9 Emmy Awards (I'm assuming the implication is national, not local, Emmys), helped launch Oprah Winfrey, and sold $125 million in direct TV systems, however, I am unable to find RS to support any of these claims after searching Google News, Google Books, newspapers.com, and JSTOR. At present, the article is sourced to two YouTube videos and David Sams' personal website. The article was previously deleted via AfD but later recreated.

  • Keep While Sams is probably very good at self promotion and has some despicable political ideas, he clearly has a history as a TV producer. One of his shows is named in WP:TVSHOW as an example of a show suitable enough to be named as content carried by local TV stations. He is obviously much higher up the food chain. He has done what good producers do, get his name attached to a lot of successful projects. He has managed to get his position as creator of Oprah's talk show and 9 Emmy awards mentioned in a lot of press, including reliable sources like the LA Times. Clearly there are a lot of sources talking about a lot of different stages of his career at varying points in time. Somehow the NOM's google search didn't seem to find the ones I have already added to the article. If nothing else he has achieved WP:GNG. And further, if his name is in the news currently (as stated by the NOM), it would be irresponsible of wikipedia to delete his article with his lengthy history specifically at the time people will be searching to find out who this guy is no matter how we feel about his religious or political activities. Trackinfo (talk) 05:32, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Somehow the NOM's google search didn't seem to find the ones I have already added to the article." While I appreciate your effort in adding press releases [12], Blogspot posts [13], Wordpress.com blog posts [14], and something called constantinereport.com [15] to the Sams BLP, just to be clear, David Sams did not create the Oprah Winfrey Show or win nine Emmy Awards.
  • The only WP:RS that mentions any involvement by Sams in Oprah in any context at all is this one LA Times candidate profile [16] when he was one of 135 candidates running in the California gubernatorial recall election and it says he was "involved in launching" Oprah as a syndication staffer at King World Television. This is the careful wording a publicist uses in crafting a biography for his client; the cameraman of the pilot episode was also "involved in launching" Oprah.
  • I've just checked the Emmys database [17] and they return no results showing Sams winning "9 Emmy Awards" (or even one Emmy Award).
"if his name is in the news currently (as stated by the NOM), it would be irresponsible of wikipedia to delete his article" - see WP:NOTNEWS and WP:BLP1E
Chetsford (talk) 07:03, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sams has sources talking about his history going back to the 1980's. Clearly this is not a case where WP:BLP1E applies. I am specifically questioning the timing of this AfD to correspond with his appearance in the current news, which you as the NOM brought up. The sources I added did not even address whatever is putting him in the current news. Trackinfo (talk) 17:28, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding the other points, I agree, he or his publicist (possibly the same person) have done an effective job of placing his claims of 9 Emmy awards into various media, including the LA Times and other legitimate newspapers. I suspect, in his role with the distribution company for Oprah, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, he has assumed the awards for those shows to be his own. Clearly he was high up the food chain at King World. I'm adding a source that defines his title at the company. If you think the multiple sources repeating the claims posted by his publicist are still inadequate, I would not contest removing of the awards or better, refining of the wording to say "he claims." Independent of that, he did co-produce and was on camera host of RollerGames, also sourced. And his current involvements in religious broadcasting that have evolved over the last two decades. There are a lot of things this guy has done over a long career, a lot of it behind the scenes and more difficult to articulate if you aren't sitting in those offices while decisions are being made. Was he important to the decisions that made these things happen, or was he just occupying a seat at the table? But he was there. He keeps getting asked to be there. The main point is you are improperly using the AfD process to try to delete the entire article, rather than using your skills as an editor to place proper words into the article to more accurately describe what is known about this subject.Trackinfo (talk) 17:54, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We're in dangerous territory here. This guy obviously has a relationship with Oprah, among others. Removing him from here would be as bad a Google removing Jesus from Google Home. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Misterhit (talkcontribs)
Blogspot posts, press releases, YouTube videos, and constantinereport.com aren't real sources, though. Especially for a BLP. Chetsford (talk) 18:17, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
NY Times, LA Times (multiple mentions in different decades), Chico News & Review are legitimate newspapers, The Washington Times is a biased conservative newspaper. There are multiple trade publications in the sources. The other sources just supplement. I added an LA Times to supplement what a previous user had added from youtube. I freely admit there is garbage in the article. Feel free to edit. You have no case for removal. Trackinfo (talk) 18:47, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The NY Times article you added is a 4,663 word article that mentions David Sams once in a short quote. The others are similarly incidental. It seems the only substantive references are to the non-RS sources you've added like Blogspot, Wordpress, constantinereport.com, etc. If we remove those we have no biographical detail on Sams other than the fact he is a living human. Chetsford (talk) 19:15, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A textbook example of puffery, using youtube as a source, and press releases as sources, and articles which do not even mention the person as sources. A huge NYT article on King World mentions Sams once - as a former employee. Sorry - the person is not individually notable, and the puffery used is distasteful. Collect (talk) 18:55, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Did you look further at the source for RollerGames? That was his creation, with Mike Miller, and he was on camera host. In addition, he certainly had some association with Oprah and other King World products, he was quoted in the NYT about that. The puffery can get edited, removing the entire subject is not appropriate. Trackinfo (talk) 19:32, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes -- and all the other puffery which has been restored in its entirety by an editor with few if any outside edits. I am iterating the Delete vote, and note the use of youtube and other absolutely unusable sources place back into the BLP. Collect (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
He has been quoted in numerous places (press releases, YouTube videos, blogspot posts, etc.) declaring he is responsible for launching Oprah. What we don't have is any WP:INDEPENDENT source affirming this, nor is there any evidence of Oprah herself acknowledging she even knows who he is. Chetsford (talk) 20:40, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am assuming this new editor Misterhit to be Sams himself. WP:COI aside, he knows where the bodies are buried. He has provided the youtube video (hosted on David Sams' account) of himself, on camera, representing King World, hawking Oprah's then untested show in 1986. Unless you want to contend that he made himself look 30 years younger in order to fake that video to keep his article on wikipedia, that gives pretty clear evidence of his association to the national distribution of that show, backing up all the other articles where he is talked about having been involved with the show. So the New York Times quoting him about his past association with selling the Oprah show is not a fake or them succumbing to a publicity shill job. Two other videos show him, on camera, selling (credited as Executive Producer) and hosting RollerGames again backing up the LA Times article giving him similar credit in their write up about the series. Or do you think they too were deceived in 1989? Broadcasting and Cable is an industry publication, another reliable source, talking about his lawsuit against Verisign in 2003. I also restored the Chico News & Review sourcing to his "Economic terrorism" quote from his 2003 run for governor. WP:BLP1E? Seriously? So trying to dissect his claim of 9 Emmys, Oprah won for talk show host in 1987, 1991-5, her show won 1987-9 1991-2, 1994-7, Alex Trebek won game show host for Jeopardy in 1989-90, Pat Sajak won the same in 1993 and 98, Jeopardy won as game show six times 1990-5. Of those, how deep would the credits show for the VP of the distribution company? The Oprah Winfrey Show ultimately won 46 Emmys, the most of any show. Did he get or assume a pseudo producer credit to take credit for any of those during the extended tenure following his sales efforts to bring the show into national distribution? Grandiose claims? We have already established he is a salesman. See Donald Trump. Most of these sources were already in the article through its many evolutions over the last few days. So the delete votes below obviously failed to read, or to trust, notable major daily news sources. I will never understand your zealous blindness in order to delete content, but in every AfD we always seem to line up an echo chamber of lemmings. Trackinfo (talk) 07:30, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you look at my AfD history then. I am as far from a "lemming" as you might desire. The problem is that many people have created their own BLPs - and the use of SPS material and the like is usually a dead giveaway. Wikipedia policy requires that such be deleted, alas. This is not the voice of a "lemming" as you will find out from my stats. Collect (talk) 14:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Trackinfo, would you mind not calling other editors in this discussion names like "lemmings"? It helps to keep the discussion focused. Thanks very much. Chetsford (talk) 15:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable as an encyclopedic article. The second source mentions "He said they had nothing to do with the survey except compiling the opinion sent through e-mail and post." An opinion poll conducted by a local branch of a British media outlet in an area that did not have much internet penetration in 2004. The first source says 12 out of 250 million people were listeners back then, with the number of people polled being questionable. This at best is POV of a subset in a larger group of people.

Any flaws in the poll, such as those put forward by the nom, should be discussed in the article if reliable sources cover them; they do not make the poll an inappropriate topic for an encyclopedia. It may not be "as notable" or popular as Time 100 or Time Person of the Year, but the poll meets WP:GNG. Not sure if the same can be said about some other members of Category:Greatest Nationals, such as Belg der Belgen or Velikite Balgari, both of which are unsourced, but both were nominated for deletion and kept.
If a radio countdown poll is considered a major work, the title should be italicized as Greatest Bengali of All Time. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:03, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This may be a notable topic, but as the tags at the top - unaddressed since 2014 - indicate, this article has lots of verifiability and neutrality problems, and is in part written like an advertisement, down to the use of the term "Ayres Sensory Integration®" in parts. Until this is evaluated and totally rewritten by an expert, perhaps it is better covered more succinctly at Anna Jean Ayres. Sandstein 15:11, 20 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article needs a lot of work, but the subject itself seems notable. A quick google reveals it's treated as an established therapy by information for patients (webMD, NHS website), professional organizations; it's covered in journals and taught in university courses. Instead of deleting the article, maybe the right approach is to cut overly detailed and overly positive sections and start over from a reduced core. Cyrej (talk) 11:18, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Well, it's frightful, somewhat promotional (I've cut some of the worst of it), dreadfully written, and (shh!) doesn't seem to work despite vigorous but largely unscientific attempts to demonstrate that it has any kind of benefit. It thus seems very close to WP:FRINGE and WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE, not to mention WP:ADV and WP:COI if we're into policy acronyms. However, this flaky stuff does exist out there in the world, including in numerous NHS trusts (local health bodies in the UK), which may have accepted it more or less uncritically. I think we should deal with it sceptically, citing reliable sources, as we do with topics like Astrology. The current article needs to behas been extensively rewrittencut down, so we have the choice of WP:TNT (delete, start over) ormight as well keeping it and reroofing the house from the inside.

  • Delete Fails to meet WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:SIGCOV. By searching "Gay Fuel energy drink," I found passing mentions here; here; and, an even more passing mention, when searching "Gay Fuel" in gScholar, here. I couldn't find, in a current search using the term "Gay Fuel", articles cited in the first AFD, including [http://www.wnd.com/2004/07/25409/ this] and this, which still come up when launching the old links in AFD No.1. Even so, the sum and breadth of the coverage is not enough to meet notability requirements in general (WP:GNG). Geoff | Who, me? 20:47, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm..did you miss significant coverage?! And WP ain't wiki-source either!Winged BladesGodric 11:52, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Winged Blades of Godric: I’m not part of your ongoing personal dispute with Necrothesp, so you are going to have to explain your cryptic comments above, preferably in a civil manner. Dan arndt (talk) 14:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
GNG states If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. And, please don't dump every GHit retrieved by the school into the article.We aren't into indiscriminately collecting sources about the subject.
And, what led you to infer that I’m a part of an ongoing personal dispute with Necrothesp? Please avoid making such accusations, with ill-considered words.Winged BladesGodric 14:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
From an outsiders point of view based on some of the earlier comments it appeared to me that you may have had some sort of history on these issues, my apologies if I misinterpreted that. In respect to your comments the last time I checked national newspapers, government websites and independently published books were all generally considered reliable sources. The sources that I have provided specifically relate to individual comments provided in the article and are not indiscriminate GHits. Dan arndt (talk) 14:52, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks.Anyways, I will re-emphasise the part. word:--significant.If you wish, I can provide an analysis of the sources and their failing GNG.Just to note, alumni biographies noting their school in the most-trivial manner and directory-mentions do not lead to an increase in the notability-quotient of the subject.Winged BladesGodric 14:56, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That was really in response to the first editors comments that “Google search and alumni search bring nil“, so I was proving that statement was false - nothing more. The reason that I feel the school is notable is because it is over 120years old. It is essentially a catholic school in a very historical and traditional Buddhist city. Frankly it’s really surprising that it survived the national Sinhalese movement in the late 1960s. Dan arndt (talk) 15:14, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly notable, but this is fundamentally an advertisement, and the promotional tone is so pervasive that it does not seem fixable.
