This page is actually a duplication of WISE J224607.57-052635.0. It was likely an honest mistake, because an article describing the phenomenon here uses one name, and links to a second article that uses another name, though it is clearly the same galaxy.

Rice Video[edit]

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

This article fails WP:GNG, as none of the sources provided are secondary, with several merely being promotional forum posts created by the developers of Rice Video. No secondary sources that establish notability could be found after a search of reasonable time and effort. A template requesting that secondary sources be added has gone unanswered for an entire decade(!), because Rice Video has received virtually zero coverage beyond a handful of threads on an emulation forum. Because notability has not been established, and it seems very unlikely that it ever will be, I'm nominating this article for deletion. FlotillaFlotsam (talk) 22:55, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I declined a speedy deletion request, which cited no credible claim of notability. The claim of notability appears to be that the subject will be a candidate in a state primary election in the USA.

  • Delete: The subject's announced candidature for a forthcoming state primary is not sufficient for WP:POLITICIAN criterion 3 and the other coverage is a mix of primary and passing mention which does not demonstrate WP:BASIC notability. AllyD (talk) 08:21, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. People do not get Wikipedia articles just for being candidates in still-pending party primaries — if you cannot make and properly source a credible claim that he already cleared a notability criterion for some other reason, then he has to win the general election to clear WP:NPOL. But there's no other claim of preexisting notability here, and the sourcing is not marking him out as a special case who's somehow more notable than most other candidates in most other primaries. Nominator is correct that being a political candidate is enough of a claim of notability to preclude the speedy process — where any claim of notability at all, even one that would fail an AFD discussion, is still enough to make the article non-speediable — but they're also correct that it's not enough to actually make the article keepable.

  • Merge to Digital audio radio service is my vote, although I will never understand the reason people feel the need to delete Wikipedia articles. It's a big system, it's well-indexed, and it's relevant, but if you really think merging and deleting articles pushes forward some "Greater Good," then go ahead. I just don't see the point. Someone nominated to delete the article on the first direct-broadcast satellite TV service ever, too, which is an equally pointless merge/delete as this one.

  • I am a regular reader of Dynamite News. I landed on this page via Google search result. While going through this discussion, I feel that this user User:GSS-1987 needs to know some important information about the country he hails from, which is India if I am not wrong. While going through the page I saw that the article talks about two reports. One of them being from some blogger, Sanjeev Singh, who supposedly is a reporter at The Times of India, has mentioned about a tweet from Dynamite News in the very first paragraph of his blog which is removed as an unrelated source by Mr. User:GSS-1987. Also the second reference which this guy thinks as unreliable is from a news website of the Qaumi_Awaz which is a sister concern of National_Herald_(India) as per Wikipedia. This user seems to be someone looking to be paid to create this page. I will thus urge Wikipedians to take strict action against this person and restore the Wikipedia ethics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.30.184.244 (talk)
@47.30.184.244: First I removed that link earlier because I was unable to find the name of the subject and blogs are generally not acceptable as reliable source because the blog may not be subject to the news organization's normal fact-checking process. Secondly I never questioned the reliability of Qaumi Awaz and at last this is your first ever edit and the way you are talking and pointing out things I can say you are the same person who created this page and was blocked by checkuser so you must disclose your COI. Thank you – GSS (talk|c|em) 04:23, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@GSS-1987:I have not created an account on wikipedia, as I can not regularly contribute to wikipedia and thus using IP for communication. The only COI is that I am a regular reader of this organisation's news articles, if at all this is a COI. I am just a common man with ethics. I am just worried about the way you have removed and reverted back the links when you were exposed by me. Please make sure that you read the content of any source before making any decision. Instead of being concerned on my way of talking, please evaluate your way of talking as well. You still seem to be a Wikipedian looking for money. Also, when you do reasoning, please paste the complete statement about any guideline. I went through WP:NEWSBLOG and it clearly mentions about blogs that "These may be acceptable sources if the writers are professionals". Your actions seem to be questionable. Also when you mentioned initially that "current sources are either unreliable, primary or self published", this in itself generically questioned the reliability of Qaumi_Awaz.

I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:DGG with the following rationale "needs further check for sources.". Well, I still don't see anything but few mentions in passing: he existed, he was tied to some spy-stuff, but I can't see even as much as a short paragraph / bio dedicated to him.

Why not? Isn't that the usual practice for somewhat notable children? What about Wp:PRESERVE? FloridaArmy (talk) 14:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We could end up with hundreds of similar redirects, of people who are related to indubitably notable people and have had minor cinematic roles, political offices etc because of the rampant corruption and nepotism in India. This, of course, is not a reason to ignore PRESERVE but there is a clash with NOTINHERITED, a guideline that is so set in stone that it might as well be policy. Of course, it is also not for us to pass judgement on whether or not someone did this or that because of nepotism etc. A tricky one. - Sitush (talk) 14:58, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Editorial opinion/discretion and NOTINHERITED supercedes PRESERVE.~ Winged BladesGodric 16:33, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is a horrible practice that in all but one of the cases where I have challenged the concept, it has not been applied to living people for the obvious reason that a living person is not someone else, which means statements in the other person's article are not about them, and could easily confuse the reader and constitute a BLP violation. It's less dangerous when redirecting to a dead person, but that in itself could constitute a BLP violation as this person is very much alive and kicking, and someone who has low English language skills and who doesn't understand how the MediaWiki software works could very well be given the impression that the living subject is his dead father. No, we care about human persons more than precious article history. Deletion is the most safe outcome here. . TonyBallioni (talk) 20:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without redirecting. The problem with a redirect for non notable people is that these redirects are often removed to reinstate the content and have to be reverted numerous times. This person had a very short career as an actor that ended 40 odd years ago if he is not notable now it is unlikely that he will be notable later. If it were for a young actor that is not notable yet why not. Dom from Paris (talk) 15:54, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Not inherited makes no argument about including a few bits about a marginally notable actor in the personal life section of his father where family are noted. And WP:PRESERVE makes clear the importance of preserving article histories and sourcing. If articoe restoration against consensus is a problem a protection of the page would be the appropriate remedy not violating our policies and going against the best interest of the encyclopedia's readers. FloridaArmy (talk) 16:42, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You now seem to bemixing apples and oranges. Did you read what I said above? And, bearing what I said in mind, in what sense is he "marginally" notable? For example, the third assistant cameraman's runner on a film would qualify on the basis of your argument if and only if that person was related to someone who is genuinely notable - it gets a bit ridiculous. - Sitush (talk) 17:08, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article about Randhawa is ok, the others perhaps less so. I did mention this issue on the creator's talk page some days ago. - Sitush (talk) 18:00, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete under no circumstances redirect horrible practice of redirecting living people to other people is dangerous and is just a BLP violation waiting to happen, and in this case might actively be one since the father is a relatively recent death and it could easily confuse readers into thinking the subject himself died 5 years ago (since, you know, it isn't unheard of for someone in their 60s to die). No evidence of notability, and no one seems to be arguing for it. Protecting living people is more important than preserving article histories, and just because we can redirect doesn't mean we should. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tiger versus lion[edit]

Tiger versus lion (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I'll come right out and say it, this is a silly page on a silly topic. "Tiger vs Lion" is a debate like "Pirate vs Ninja" or "Cats vs Dogs" that is rather subjective. Now, I could maybe see this being an article looking at the scientific relevance of lions and tigers living together (which even as I type it sounds like an OR issue), but as it stands it needs to be nuked from orbit. The sections are (in order)

  • random quotes from people choosing one or the other
  • random examples of "tigers beating lions" or vice versa
  • a semi-valid section about their coexistence (though there's a lot of speculation involved)
  • a physical comparison between the two
  • a "temperament" comparison
  • random examples of the animals in the Arts

There's just way too much OR and it pretty much bombs the NOTCATALOG NOTANY2CATEGORIES guide (as well as NOTCASE from the next section as well). Primefac (talk) 17:31, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Wikipedia is not a place for synthesis of comparisons of animals. That is pure original research, and eligible for deletion under WP:DEL6. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:09, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The article has 205 citations and so the claim that this is OR is absurd. Andrew D. (talk) 18:27, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:VAGUEWAVE. Please state the supposed synthetic proposition and why this can only be addressed by deletion of the entire page and its history. Andrew D. (talk) 18:48, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • The entire article is a synthesis of sourcing to create a topic that is more suited for Wiktversity than it is for Wikipedia. We literally could create an infinite number of similar articles such as Apples versus oranges, Day versus night, Hot versus cold, Humans versus pigs, etc. You could find more than enough sourcing to write each and every one of these articles, but they would intrinsically be a synthesis and that is what any comparison article must be by definition. TonyBallioni (talk) 18:59, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks like three additional AfDs that should be started. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:20, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In this page, you have supported someone whose main reason for nominating this adequately referenced[1][2][3][4][5] and hence WP:notable article for deletion is either WP:personal opinion or a lack of proper research. This is in contrast to when you declined another user's request to be unblocked, over the issue of personal opinion. Leo1pard (talk) 10:22, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, you know this means dropping OTHERSTUFF (since we're throwing essays around). Primefac (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • You have your work cut out for you as there's a large tree of such pages – see category:Comparisons. These clearly demonstrate the acceptability of such content. Primefac has yet to produce a single valid policy issue here. Essays don't count and WP:NOTCATALOG is a joke because that's a prohibition of sales catalogs. Perhaps there's some confusion about the nature of big cats? :) Andrew D. (talk) 19:29, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I was actually referring to point #6 of that section, Non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations. I've amended my link above. Thanks.
Also, if you want to talk about "vague waving", pointing to a huge category is doing just that. I'm sure I could find a half-dozen pages in that cat that should be deleted, and a half-dozen that absolutely make perfect sense to compare. Tony making up examples might not be valid, but neither is your counterargument. Primefac (talk) 19:33, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Primefac seems to have missed the word "unless". As noted above, we have lots of articles where categories are brought together. For example, another page I worked on was the list of women aviators. That covers the cross-categorisation of women and aviators and that's fine because the combination is notable, just as lions vs tigers is notable too. Andrew D. (talk) 19:44, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you, Andrew D., because the 6th rule in the link that Primefac provided says "Cross-categories ... are not considered sufficient basis to create an article, unless the intersection of those categories is in some way a culturally significant phenomenon ..." and there are so many references in the article that deal with the issue of the lion versus the tiger, including the ones that I mentioned below,[1][2][3][4][5] which obviously means that the issue is dealt with heavily even outside Wikipedia, that this topic should be considered culturally significant or WP:notable, that this is not original research or synthesis, and that the main reason for this being nominated for deletion is WP:personal opinion, or a lack of proper research into this article. Leo1pard (talk) 06:48, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Although the title will suggests a not too serious article, but actually the references are strong. Any other problem of this article can be solved by editing but the topic is notable and backed by reliable sources. –Ammarpad (talk) 23:12, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is not OR, and is adeqautely referenced, take the initial sentence for instance, which is detailed to the extent that I would trim it down for this discussion, especially as it has no less than a dozen references which actually are related to the topic of the lion versus the tiger, and therefore renders the argument of those who say that this is a synthesis as invalid:
"Historically, the comparative merits of the tiger (Panthera tigris) versus the lion (Panthera leo) ... have been a popular topic of discussion by hunters,[1][2] naturalists,[3] artists and poets, and continue to inspire the popular imagination in the present day.[4] ... [5]" Leo1pard (talk) 03:02, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Not exactly Wikibollocks, more of a ridiculously over-referenced and poorly constructed article, shittily named. If this is a notable topic (and I haven't time to assess that right now), it definitely shouldn't be hyped as if it were an Aliens versus Predator film. A neutral encyclopaedia doesn't aim to get you to read certain topics by a clever over-emotive title. It should by a steady and perhaps historic assessment of two interacting, notable species, rather like Interaction between monetary and fiscal policies. So, Interaction between lions and tigers, with a redirect from Interaction between tigers and lions, plus a 'See also' at Interspecific competition seems the very least we should do to stop people laughing at us. Seeing some of the names of their other AFD-ed articles, the article creator really needs to get a sense of perspective and academic realism in the pages they put together. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 01:18, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You said "I haven't time to assess that right now," which suggests that you have not researched this properly, especially the references that have been provided in the article, or even the few ones that I have provided here.[1][2][3][4][5] If you are not going to access the references, then there is no point in calling this article "ridiculously over-referenced and poorly constructed article ... named," or arguing for it to be changed the way that you have suggested, or that "the article creator (whose account is not active on Wikipedia nowadays) really needs to get a sense of perspective and academic realism in the pages they put together," and suggests that you are merely expressing WP:personal opinion, and by using that S-word, you have done something WP:Wrong. Leo1pard (talk) 04:15, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • grudging Keep - this article is a singular magnet for bad writing, bad research, and - excuse my Klatchian - fanboy wanking, and I wouldn't get stuck in there editing if you paid me. Nevertheless, it is a topic that has been very popular across the ages, and the references are there to prove it. How long this can survive tottering on the border to trivia list/obsessive essay territory is anyone's guess, but nuke-worthy it is not, and I don't think one can make a real case for deletion. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 12:45, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. In terms of notability, this may in fact pass WP:PROF. (Here is a link to the Scholar search that Agricola is asking for above.) However, I believe that the article in its current form is unsalvageable. It is essentially a promotional piece, and all of the information given is unreferenced and fails WP:V. I did a bit of google searching, both in Russian and in English, but did not find anything substantive, except for the subject's CV[3]. I don't see how this article can be improved to a reasonable state unless somebody is willing to completely rewrite it from scratch and to produce a stub that would still have to be entirely sourced to the subject's CV and his own publications. Nsk92 (talk) 19:57, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It was a WP:TNT case but XOR'easter fixed that. And I was about to !vote a weak delete (on the basis that borderline citation counts and no sources with in-depth detail about the subject don't provide us enough content for an actual article) but then I found his curriculum vitae [4] where it says that he was president of the "Georgian Academy of Natural Sciences". Then I was about to !vote keep on the basis of WP:PROF#C3 until with a little more digging I realized that this was not a proper major national academy, but what appears to be a made-up title for a made-up organization [5]. All the other impressive looking titles on the cv led to similarly sketchy results when I ran searches for them. So I think that this casts enough doubt on the cv that it cannot be taken a a factual and reliable source.

No indication why this would be a notable villa, all that is left after sources not about this villa have been removed is a doctoral thesis (i.e. an unpublished sourced) and a passing mention in a book. Looking for sources reveals other sources stating that Vernon Lee lived in a villa called Il Palmerino, and that's it. Fram (talk) 14:09, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well there's a lot out there in Italian, which doesn't do me much good since I can barely speak English sometimes. But if it's primarily known for being the home of Vernon Lee, why should we ever want to delete it instead of redirecting, and using what sources we have on the currently unsourced paragraph there talking about the villa?

Purely fancruft which fails GNG. Article has sources but mainly point to manufacturers websites or standard press releases created either by the metro company or local news outlets.

  • Keep. Fleet expansions are covered by The Seattle Times (example) and other local news outlets. The historic fleet has also been covered (example), even listing the models and year of manufacture. If anything, the Fleet section of the main KCM article should be moved to this list, as it is quite detailed and should be in summary form there. SounderBruce 09:27, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. WP:FANCRUFT. Generally these long arduous lists of every type of bus in a transit company's fleet (right down to the series number) come with a lack of depth of sources which still does not provide indication of notability. In this instance most of the sources are primary from King Country Metro, many others are from self-publishes sites such as busdude, plus a few other trivial mentions here and there. Ajf773 (talk) 09:44, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Major American bus fleet, meeting GNG as the subject of substantial coverage in multiple independently-published sources of presumed reliability.

  • Keep - One of the largest transit systems in North America. Wikipedia has several pages like this (many that are not as well maintained) for bus fleets, rail fleets, and airliner fleets. A core concept on Wikipedia is to write in summary style and that means that some readers only need a quick summary (the lede), some need a moderate amount of information (a set of multiparagraph sections), and some readers need a lot of details (links to full-sized separate subarticles). For that reason, this subarticle is an important part of the King County Metro article, letting some readers do a "deep-dive" and get lots of details without cluttering the main page. While the page may need improvements, it's a good and notible article and should be kept. --RickyCourtney (talk) 20:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • This isn't a summary style article. It's a exhaustive list of bus enthusiast cruft. Wikipedia has only a few articles for bus fleets and plenty have been removed during AfD as of recent. Summary content should remain in the parent article. Ajf773 (talk) 19:24, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cruft verging on advertising. Most sources link to news reports/planning permission reports etc, no need for this on Wikipedia. Rather than have its own article, most of this can be summarised in KCM's own article. Nightfury 09:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Plenty of secondary newspaper sources for most of these facilities, which could be added in an expansion; some are even notable enough to pass GNG as independent articles. Even the maintenance bases have well-documented coverage in The Seattle Times from the time of their construction (with considerable neighborhood opposition) that could be incorporated. The tables are kept out of the main article to keep clutter down, since they take up a lot of space. SounderBruce 09:24, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As it is, SounderBruce, to me it looks like a bunch of buildings with addresses, most of them don't show how they are important. If you think they are through the sources, can you expand them? As is however, like I said in the main summary the most notable ones can be mentioned in the same article. Regarding your term "clutter", there is no such thing in my eyes, if it is properly sourced. I will agree however that tables on the main subject page are inappropriate. Thanks Nightfury 10:45, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I will look into adding more content, but trying to save two articles from AfD at once is a hard ask. Next time, can you space out related nominations? SounderBruce 00:06, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - What is this advertising? The existence of a bus depot? Thank you for trying to improve the encyclopedia, but this isn't doing so. JesseW, the juggling janitor 17:02, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
  • Delete. Most (if not all) of the bases are not inherently notable and use routine coverage or primary sources merely to prove they exist. Any salvageable content should be merged to the parent article King County Metro. Ajf773 (talk) 08:10, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Counter point: there's news coverage beyond mere mentions, not to mention the articles from the planning process (which is well covered in this city). Most of the content (tables with images) cannot be placed in the main article without going beyond reasonable length (of the page). SounderBruce 08:18, 29 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural nomination; this was proposed for deletion with a rationale of "Unsourced fancruft, no out-of-world notability". I've declined the PROD, as the four other-language versions, particularly the lengthy Polish one, makes me think this is potentially a genuine cultural phenomenon that just isn't well-covered in English-language sources.

  • Delete, do not redirect I agree that the sourcing doesn't qualify for notability. I oppose redirects from a BLP to another BLP on my standard grounds that it is a nightmare of a BLP violation waiting to happen. Living people are different, and they have control over their articles in a way because they are in control of the actions that they take. By redirecting to another BLP, we are making it so that the things that are associated with their name on the 5th largest website in the world are things that are completely beyond their control, even if it is a relative. Most people don't know how the MediaWiki software works, and redirects of this kind are confusing to readers. The BLP policy ranks above PRESERVE, and since there seems to be agreement that this is borderline notable at best, and likely shouldn't be an independent article, deletion is the best outcome and in order to protect the subject.

WP:BLP of a musician with no strong claim of notability per WP:NMUSIC and no quality reliable source coverage to support it. The only discernible notability claim present here is that he exists, as the article states nothing about him that would actually pass any NMUSIC criterion at all -- and the sourcing is parked almost entirely on primary sources and Twitter tweets and blogs, with the article's only acceptable source being a mere blurb about him posting a Jimi Hendrix cover to Soundcloud. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim and better sourcing for it than this, but nothing here entitles him to already have an article today.

"No Better Than This" is a major credit on Jeong Sewoon's new album. He is an A list Korean artist as well as LUNA, another person he has a credit for. These are in fact major publications that justify a page for him. His credit on LUNA reached the number one spot on the Bilboard charts and his big writer/arranger credit on Jeong Sewoon's album is most likely going to chart in the coming days. Wouldn't be shocked if it was a top ten. I keep a close eye on the music charts.

[1]

[2] This article shows the legitimacy of the Sewoon album. It is a major publication, it has just been recently released and I am sure it will chart in the coming days. Propellerhead4 (talk) 22:01, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rabin is not mentioned in either of those articles, however. —C.Fred (talk) 22:34, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The fact that Jeong Sewoon's album was successful doesn't have any bearing on Spencer Rabin's notability. Notability is not inherited, so Spencer Rabin doesn't get an automatic notability freebie just for working with Jeong Sewoon, unless and until Spencer Rabin is the subject of reliable source coverage about Spencer Rabin. Which you haven't shown any of. Bearcat (talk) 22:39, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rabin is in fact mentioned in the soompi article. Note the photo under January 17th where he is credited for "No Better Than This"

Additionally, I did find a couple articles that are exclusively about him.

I also read many articles about his album "Apollo II" however, Apollo II never charted, unlike some of the K-Pop projects Rabin has been involved in.

"Mentioned in a photo" is irrelevant. He must be the subject of coverage that is substantively about him, not just have his existence namechecked in coverage of other people, and Soompi is not a reliable source in the first place. Bearcat (talk) 23:06, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note WP:COMPOSER


NOTE "Recordings"

"Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, "

Luna's Galaxy Sewoon's "No Better Than This" , and his other credits were all released by major Korean Labels: SM Entertianment, and Starship Entertainment.

That criterion means "is the subject of media coverage", not "has credits on other people's albums". Albums are not media coverage about a person, so they are not "publications" for the purposes of getting a person over a Wikipedia notability criterion. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Note "The single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart."

Galaxy hit #1 in the K-Pop Charts in Billboard, Sewoons Album will probably chart as well, i will post in here in the coming days to update you. The Lydia Lee songs also charted on Spotify. Rabin is more than qualified.

That criterion refers to the performer of a song, not its writer, and even then the performer still has to be the subject of media coverage. It is entirely possible for a person to have a single hit a pop chart but not receive media coverage for that, and that person still does not get a Wikipedia article until the media coverage kicks in. It's the media coverage that gets them in or out, not the song itself. And charting on Spotify counts for exactly nothing on Wikipedia, either, as we only accept IFPI-certified national charts on the order of Billboard.

"Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition." Is mentioned in the WP:BLP guidelines. Rabin has many of these.

Has received media coverage about their writing or cowriting of a notable composition. It's not the claim to passing an NMUSIC criterion that passes NMUSIC — the determining factor is the quality and depth of reliable source coverage in media that can or cannot be shown to verify the claim. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While there may be a few sources that would be "unreliable" I would argue that some of these sources are, in fact, reliable. In the days following the Sewoon release, there will undoubtedly be more sources regarding Rabin's Credits. I will be sure to update you and add them to the article. In the meantime, I will be sure to additionally remove some of the more obsolete sources and replace them with the reliable ones.

The Sewoon Album has been released. When I checked the itunes charts yesterday, it was at #6. I'm sure the numbers for Gaon and Billboard will come in the following days and I will update the page accordingly to the chart numbers. I have also added a source directly from the record label to the article, and will continue to add more as they come out. This credit meets the criteria for composers in WP:COMPOSER. In addition to these charting credits, he also seems to have a decent following for a songwriter. I don't often see songwriters who have a "verified" badge on their facebook page.

I believe this page should remain in the mainspace. I will be more than happy to keep a close eye on the young mans career and re-evaluate his notability if he was to not have more notable compositions in the coming years.


The topic of musicians, and especially songwriters, who work behind the scene, can be subjective when talking about notability. I believe that Rabin's credits are indeed notable enough to be on the mainspace.


Propellerhead4 (talk) 17:41, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is demonstrated by reliable source coverage about a person in media. Nothing that can be claimed about any person ever hands them an automatic notability freebie in the absence of any proper media coverage, because media coverage is the notability test. We do not keep an article just because somebody makes unverifiable claims that the subject has a "decent" following, and we do not keep an article just because their social media profile has a "verified" badge on it. (That badge is not a mark of notability, as such, but is a thing that's granted to anybody who undertakes the process required to get it.) And charting on iTunes is not an NMUSIC pass, either — again, we require IFPI-certified charts on the order of Billboard, not single-vendor charts from online music stores. And even if the song does eventually the Billboard charts, that still won't exempt Rabin from having to be substantively the subject of media coverage in reliable sources before he qualifies for a Wikipedia article — no number of credits, even on charting songs, exempts a musician from having to have media coverage about him. Bearcat (talk) 19:08, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Rabin meets the criteria for composers in WP:COMPOSER. He has credits notable compositions such as "No Better Than This" and coverage in the mainstream media such as "Guitar World." His other non-charting credits have been picked up by reliable sources such as AllMusic. Propellerhead4 (talk) 18:59, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We require multiple reliable sources, not just one — and the Guitar World piece is a mere blurb. And AllMusic assists in supporting notability if AllMusic writes some editorial content about him, such as a biographical profile and/or actual critical reviews of his releases — however, since AllMusic tries to the best of its ability to maintain at least a basic "list of credits" page for every musician who exists as any participating credit on any album, having that kind of page does not assist in supporting a musician's notability if there's no editorial content added to it. You're simply not getting what's required, and please also note that while you're allowed to comment more than once in an AFD discussion you're not allowed to vote more than once.

This is a classic case of songwriters not getting the credit they deserve. Happens all the time. Spencer Rabin is not an artist. He is a songwriters/producer who has notable compositions. This means his notability should be jugged by his credits first and media coverage, which he still has, second. Even the biggest songwriters don't have huge mainstream media coverage, and Spencer Rabin still has coverage in notable sites like guitar world. After being resisted, No Better Than this, (one of his compositions) was 3# on the Gaon charts. (South Korean Charts) If it wasn't notable enough a week ago, it is now, and it most certainly puts him in the criteria for WP:COMPOSER. I have already updated the article with the proper sourcing for that.

Notability is always dependent on having reliable source coverage in media — even a President of the United States would be non-notable if he somehow managed to hold the role without getting media coverage for it. The reason for this is partly to protect our article subjects from harm — because we're an encyclopedia that anybody can edit, we cannot guarantee that everybody is editing responsibly, and our articles regularly have false or libellous or contentious information added to them. As well, if we exempted people from having to have reliable source coverage just because the article made impressive-sounding claims, then publicity-seeking wannabes could get into Wikipedia by lying about what they'd actually accomplished. So no, notability cannot be judged "the list of credits itself is paramount and reliable source coverage is only secondary" — the reliable source coverage has to be paramount, because being able to properly verify an article's content in reliable sources is the only tool we have to keep our articles accurate. The bottom line is, we're not a free publicity venue on which people are automatically entitled to have articles, but an encyclopedia which has to be referenced properly — so a person who cannot meet our reliable sourcing rules on their face does not get a special exemption from them just because the article says things that sound impressive. Bearcat (talk) 21:56, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]


There are myriad reliable sources in this article. There is the Guitar World article, There is the Sompi article, there are official discographies and references galore. There are 14 sources in that article, that is much more than the typical songwriter/producer on wikipedia. There is reliable media coverage about Spencer Rabin. This is especially impressive given the fact that he is a songwriter and producer. These people never get as much coverage in the media because they work behind the scenes. The fact of the matter is, there is more than enough coverage in the media to qualify him for an article, and his compositions meet the criteria for WP:COMPOSER. He had a #3 on Gaon this week. This qualifies the recording as notable "the single or album has appeared on any country's national music chart." As well as another requirement for musicians: "Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network." Additionally in notability for musicians, Rabin meets "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." He has met this multiple times. Propellerhead4 (talk) 22:38, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are not myriad reliable sources in this article — what you're failing to understand is the difference between a reliable source and an unreliable one. A reliable source is not just any random web page that happens to contain the statement you want to support — a reliable source is media coverage about him, and nothing else. For example, a person does not get a Wikipedia article by self-publishing a website on Wix.com, or by having a Twitter or Facebook or YouTube profile, that "supports" the notability claims, a person does not get a Wikipedia article by getting blogged about, and a person does not get a Wikipedia article by having his own label issue press releases — a person gets a Wikipedia article when real, independent and unaffiliated media have taken notice of his achievements, and written their own editorial content about him. Which means that Sompi is not a reliable source, his "official discography" is not a reliable source, a press release from the record label is not a reliable source, and on and so forth: they are not media coverage about him. There is only one reliable source in this article — Guitar World — and that is not enough all by itself. We require multiple reliable sources, not just one, and you have not shown multiple reliable sources.
And again, there is no notability claim that any person can make which exempts them from having to have reliable source coverage just because the claim has been asserted. Charting single? Has to be supported by reliable source coverage before it counts. "Placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network"? Has to be supported by reliable source coverage before it counts. Nothing in NMEDIA can be passed just by stating it, and a person can technically pass any NMUSIC criteria and still not get an article if reliable source coverage is not available to support one. It's not the claim itself that gets them into Wikipedia, it's the depth and volume of reliable source coverage that can be shown to support it.
Please note, as well, that if I have to respond to you one more time in this discussion with a rehash of stuff that has already been explained to you above, I'll be forced to consider editblocking you for being disruptive. The only way you can get this article saved is to find better referencing, namely media coverage, which counts as reliable sourcing — you are not going to get this saved by simply bludgeoning it over and over again with the persistent refusal to understand what's already been said to you multiple times about why the sources present here are not what Wikipedia requires.

Propellerhead4 (talk) 01:56, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]


There are some reliable sources in the article that you are not recognizing.


Rabin is recognized as a “Fender Artist” by the brotherhood of guitar--an organization that seeks out and recognizes talented young musicians. They did a piece on him.


Additionally, his charting single is backed by the official Gaon charts as well as on official release by the record label starship entertainment that credits him by name.


These are reliable sources.


This source comes directly from the label which Rabin is unaffiliated from as a songwriter and is reliable:


http://www.starship-ent.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=newrelease&wr_id=57&page=710


Here is the piece that Brotherhood Of Guitar did:

http://brotherhoodoftheguitar.com/?team=spencer-rabin


And here is the Gaon Chart again: http://gaonchart.co.kr/main/section/chart/album.gaon


These are "real, independent and unaffiliated reliable sources that support and credit the evidence in this article.

Propellerhead4 (talk) 02:04, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All the Starship press release shows is that he was the arranger on a song. Being one of four arrangers does not, in and of itself, rise to the level required by WP:NMUSIC, nor does his name being mentioned once as an arranger constitute substantial coverage for WP:GNG. —C.Fred (talk) 02:07, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Brotherhood of Guitar is not independent. Quoting its about page: "I reached back out to Fender, and asked if they would support me in putting together a web site of young Fender unsigned guitar players, giving them a window to show who they were, and what they wanted to do."[emphasis added] Thus, all BoG is doing is hosting text written by or for Rabin. —C.Fred (talk) 02:09, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The Gaon chart does not mention Rabin by name. And again, being an arranger on an album that charted is not the same as being an artist. Rabin is not notable. Based on this level of grasping at straws, I'm ready to change my !vote to strong delete. —C.Fred (talk) 02:10, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Okay, I understand.

This wikipedia article needs some work. Rabin is young and I'm sure there will be reliable sources that come out in the future or with future credits. May we move this back over to my draft space, and I'll keep an eye out and continue working on it/improving until it is ready to be on the mainspace?

Propellerhead4 (talk) 02:13, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No objection if the discussion is closed as a delete but the page history is moved to Draft:Spencer Rabin. @Bearcat and Bonadea: Does that sound like a good idea to y'all? —C.Fred (talk) 02:19, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That would be acceptable as well, though to be honest I think Propeller's user sandbox might be preferable to draft space.

Hzh lists a number of references and states that there appears to be significant coverage but fails to mention that the references rely extensively on interviews with company officers or a VC that invested in the company, company announcements and even a passing mention in relation to discouraging people from eating shark-fin soup. None of the references are intellectually independent, all fail WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. Topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 14:05, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You appear to have misunderstood WP:CORPDEPTH and WP:ORGIND. Nowhere do they say no interviews, independent means independent sources, and that include interviews conducted by the independent sources. WP:ORGIND covers press releases and other work published by the company itself or promotional material done on behalf on the company, while WP:CORPDEPTH cover trivial coverage based on brief, routine or simple reports of the company, or mere quotations from the company's personnel. If they read those sources, they are nothing of the sort, this Sin Chew article [20] (try Google translate if you cannot read it) for example is quite an extensive article of which any quotation forms only a part of article. The "shark fin" thing is a campaign partly organized by the company, hardly a passing mention (there are sources in 3 different languages). They are different kinds of sources, some cover various aspects of the company, others mention it as one of the significant new online companies in Malaysia. Hzh (talk) 16:29, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Seems it is you who appears to misunderstand the meaning of "independent" in the context of "independent sources". "Independence of sources" is interpreted to mean that people, independent of the company, published a non-trivial non-routine work that focuses on the subject. WP:ORGIND does a good job explaining how GNG is to be interpreted in the context of notability of companies/organizations. Another useful interpretation is that a source must be "intellectually independent", not just corporately independent. Determining whether a reference is non-trivial and non-routine requires examining the article for non-trivial and independent opinions/interpretations in relation to the company. The references you've provided show none. The references simply repeat what they've been told and assign facts and opinons to the company or their officers or related partners. You may be of the opinion that "interviews by unconnected publishers" meets the criteria for establishing notability, but ORGIND specifically excludes "any material written by the organization, its members, or sources closely associated with it", "any material written or published by the organization, directly or indirectly", "other works in which the company, corporation, organization, or group talks about itself—whether published by the company, corporation, organization, or group itself, or re-printed by other people" and WP:CORPDEPTH excludes "quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources". Hard to see how a "story" (such as the sinchew reference) which is based on a study performed by the Nuren Group and which relies on Nuren Group personel to rely and interpret the facts can be considered "intellectually independent". The reference is chock full of "facts" attributed to Nuren Group and nothing to demonstrate any independence. The entire article references Nuren Group data and peppered with their message. All this reference (and the others for that matter) demonstrates is that Nuren has a marketing department. HighKing++ 20:45, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea what you mean by a source must be "intellectually independent", given that the term you put in quote "intellectually independent" is nowhere to be found WP:ORGIND. It looks to be your interpretation of what is not written there, whatever it is that you may mean. I am not sure how you can misunderstand what is meant by any material written by the organization, its members, or sources closely associated with it or any material written or published by the organization, directly or indirectly, something written by an independent journalist is none of these things. It is not for you to make random claim about the lack of independence of what a journalist writes. Presumably you also want to claim that a journalist in China (in addition to others) is not independent by putting the company as one of the noteworthy new companies. The point about using quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources is about the triviality of the coverage (spinning a few quotes into a story) which is clear from the examples given of routine and trivial report, not applicable when the coverage is extensive. Hzh (talk) 21:34, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lets just agree to disagree. I provided a comprehensive explanation of the meaning of "intellectually independent". Nowhere did I state that it is contained in WP:ORGIND (although recent discussions indicate it may find its way in there shortly) but you've chosen to create a strawman argument on the issue of it not appearing in ORGIND rather than debate why the phrase "intellectually independent" consisely encompasses what is intended by ORGIND. Similarly, your interpretations of those guidelines are different to mine (and also different to the interpretations expressed on multiple AfDs by multiple other editors) - but hey, that's fine, that's why we have an AfD process, everyone gets to have their say. All I can do is provide clear explanations for my interpretations when asked and that is what I've done. HighKing++ 11:47, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We cannot discuss this based on a vague idea that you have invented rather than something specifically stated in the notability criteria. Anyone can make claim as to what WP:ORGIND means, but if it is not actually stated, then it is a pointless argument. (BTW, when something appears within quotation marks, it may mean it is something quoted from somewhere else. Unless you are using it as a scare quote, which would make what you said very nonsensical, or a personal special usage, which makes the reference to WP:ORGIND odd as you are admitting it is something you made up yourself. Read quotation mark on its use so you can avoid making groundless accusation of straw man.) Hzh (talk) 12:37, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Lol - as I said, we'll agree to disagree, but I don't accept your attempts to put your words in my mouth or to create disputes based on your attempts to re-interpret something that is written in clear English and easily understood by native English speakers. I love your assertion that there's apparently only two reasons to use quotation marks as a way of starting another strawman argument, I found it amusing and it made me laugh. For clarity, in that situation I used it to "extract" the phrase so that my explanation was clear - obviously a failure on my part as I made assumptions on comprehension levels of readers. If you have the inclination, you might check the Talk page on WP:NCORP or historical AfDs - you'll find that the term "intellectually independent" is not my invention and is used by made editors - especially those that are experienced AfD editors. I also *love* that you then try to tell me that somehow I admitted "intellectually independent" was something I made up myself. Sure ... probably more groundless accusations of straw man though. Anyway, lets wait to see what other editors have to say on the sinchew story and the other references - who knows, maybe the phrase "intellectually independent" might even pop up again? At least this time you'll know what it means! HighKing++ 14:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We don't argue based on what someone else had said, we argued based on notability guidelines and deletion criteria. If you are assuming others might understand what you write based on what other people had written somewhere else you'd be mistaken, particularly when you were referring specifically to WP:ORGIND and nowhere else. If your argument is actually based on other people's usage and argument, then that is worse, because you are admitting you are not arguing based on WP:ORGIND and WP:NCORP themselves, but on other people's interpretation and argument. It may explain why you put forward arguments such as interviews being invalid and "intellectually independent" which are not actually found in notability and deletion criteria. Hzh (talk) 14:46, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Aaaaannnnnddddd ... here we go again. Nope, not going to engage with you if you keep puting words in my mouth and tell me this is what I said/meant. I've explained clearly the reasoning for my !vote.

  • Delete -- just a directory listing for a nn company. Raised $2M which is an insignificant amount. Sources offered above are not convincing: passing mentions, routine news, etc. Fails WP:CORPDEPTH / WP:NCORP. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:07, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Money raised is not one of the criteria in WP:CORPDEPTH / WP:NCORP. WP:CORPDEPTH clearly describes what kind of works might be considered "routine", and multiple non-trivial sources have been given that does not fit these descriptions in WP:CORPDEPTH. Better explanations of what you said to be "routine news" might be in terms of the criteria set out in WP:CORPDEPTH and how the sources would fit those "routine" descriptions would be helpful. It is otherwise just a random claim not supported by WP:CORPDEPTH. Hzh (talk) 19:57, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Although I agree with Störm that the existing article has a promotional tone. Actually, I am amused myself after discovering probably along with many others, that online shopping and delivery (Amazon type) is also catching on in Pakistan. Anyway, 5 listed references out of 7 worked, when I last checked. One reference is from Dawn (newspaper) and one other reference is from Business Recorder business newspaper. My best guess is that the original article creator has not yet learned how to give inline citations and correct references on a Wikipedia page.

Comment I am somewhat puzzled by the above comment by Samee about notability? In my edit of the above article 3 or 4 days ago, I had tried my best to remove the promotional material and had made it a very short stub and 'factual type' Wikipedia article. Since then, User:Störm has further edited it on 2 February 2018 and has removed some external links that he thought were not RS except for Business Recorder business newspaper which he left alone. Now the article has 2 references to Dawn (newspaper) and The Express Tribune newspapers. The Express Tribune article from 2016 is a fairly long in-depth article on online shopping in Pakistan where TazaMart's company business is compared with all its competitors. Just now checked article's Wikipedia 'Revision history' and I saw only one editor's name crossed out with a black line but he is NOT the article creator. It's someone who later edited the article. Ngrewal1 (talk) 20:07, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. It would be WP:TOOSOON for a standalone entry. The listed references don't specifically compare TazaMart with her competitors. I'm more inclined towards Online grocery shopping in Pakistan or List of online grocery shops in Pakistan etc. for the time being.  samee  talk 07:51, 6 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep There are two references that, in my opinion, just about meet the criteria for establishing notability. This tribune.com.ok article just about meets the criteria as there is sufficient independent analysis/optinion on aspects of Tazamart's business. This dawn.com reference also just about meets the criteria and although it doesn't contain a lot of in-depth information, it has enough and it also provides independent opinion. But the others fail. This dawn.com article provides no in-depth information on the company and relies on information provided by the companies and others in the sector and does not provide any independent analysis or opinion, fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND. This brecorder.com reference only namechecks the company, fails WP:CORPDEPTH. I cannot find any other decent references. HighKing++ 15:24, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The article has all the hallmarks of paid editing and has had a UPE (undisclosed paid editing) template at the top (not added by me) in consideration of extensive editing by socks, until the same IP who removed my PROD also removed the paid editing template. See history. The same IP has also removed my PROD, again with no attempt at explanation, from Yogeshwar DeviDayal Mahadev and Yogeshwar Mulakh Raj Bhagwan, which articles I will also put on AfD in a minute.

The result was delete. I don't see very much in the way of bright-line policy-based arguments on either side. Most of this is WP:ILIKEIT vs WP:IDONTLIKEIT. I was tempted to close this as NC, with a note that people should work on cleaning up the specific issues pointed out here, but it's been tagged for cleanup for 8 years now, so that doesn't seem useful. I'm also taking into consideration that if the closer of the previous AfD had a a crystal ball and knew to ignore all the users who would eventually be shown to be socks, it would have been unanimous to delete.

I'd be happy to userfy this for somebody if they want to mine it for data to merge somewhere. But, please, only ask if you really want to do this, not just to warehouse it.

Full disclosure: I'm not entirely uninvolved here.

Since its creation this has been a repository for WP:OR. Article consists almost entirely of extensive tables reporting the results of original research using on-line unreliable genealogical databases. Previous closing admin found convincing an argument based on it being interesting (not a criterion for notability) and that the tables took a lot of work (also not a basis for notability, and passing unnoticed the fact that all of this work was Original Research). While every time there is a royal marriage, some people try to cash in on the publicity by reporting how they have found the couple are related, but unlike, for example, the Iberian royalty of the early middle ages, I am unaware of any scholarly study of endogamy in the British royalty, nor of popular press reporting of the broad topic (as opposed to individual instances). This indicates a lack of Notability that means the article can't be fixed by simply removing the extensive OR and stubifying it. Agricolae (talk) 16:39, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - This article could be seen as a sub-article of List of coupled cousins - I don't like grouping AfDs and don't recommend that here, but I do want to point this out. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:24, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete - My impression is that a list of couples who are very closely related may be notable, but including people whose relationship is more distant seems OR. Further, this article basically comes down to adding how closely related a monarch and consort is to the lists at Monarchs of the British Isles. Such an addition seems a bit WP:INDISCRIMINATE. In the previous AfD, one argument is that endogamy in the British monarchy is notable. I agree that it is, but as an article with notable examples discussed and not as a list with no context. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:24, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - This article's subject could be seen as notable, but the article as it stands looks like it could be partly based on original research and I share the concern that it is tending towards WP:INDISCRIMINATE. I think something could be written on this, with proper sources that make clear that specific royal marriages to relatives were notable (William III and Mary II is an obvious one) and that there is a notable trend, but I think the list format here is not really suitable for Wikipedia. Dunarc (talk) 19:49, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As I said in the last deletion discussion, the content that can be cited here is already covered in articles such as Royal intermarriage, and where the relationship is individually significant, in the individuals' articles, but there aren't any citations that draw together all of the relationships in a list like this and most of them cannot be cited anyway because they are original research. I also note that all of the accounts who voted to keep the article in the last discussion are now blocked, two of them for sock puppetry. Celia Homeford (talk) 10:12, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is not a useful thing to devote a whole article too.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:39, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- This is an interesting subject (to some). It is surprising how many British monarchs where within what the medieval church regarded as prohibited degrees. I note that it is heavily tagged, including for further referencing, but I do not think that this is a case where it is particularly useful to show the full workings. I think this is a case where the info is verifiable, rather than verified. This is partly because monarchs were marrying into a limited pool of foreign royal and noble families; in the case of Scotland often into Scottish nobility. The non-monarch section at the end is limited to those through whom the throne was inherited and those who might inherit it in coming decades. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:29, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm not feeling it. Sure, it is possibly of interest to some reader, but that's never a good argument. Is it a topic? It doesn't seem to be, or it doesn't seem to want to be--it is merely a set of lists; there is no lead that explains what the topic is. Is it a list? Well, yeah, but a list of what? "(1st, 2nd, 3rd, ...)" indicates that there isn't a well-defined criterion here, and toward the bottom it seems to be getting really random. It is possible to have an article on this topic (for Spain one can easily imagine it), but this isn't it. Drmies (talk) 17:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The nomination says "I am unaware of any scholarly study of endogamy in the British royalty" but a quick search soon turns up book-length works such as Monarchy and Incest in Renaissance England and Royal Kinship. Anglo-German Family Networks 1815-1918. Andrew D. (talk) 18:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Books that focus on a single limited period do not justify blanket coverage of all of English and Scottish royal history based on Original Research. There may be room for a article on this generic topic, but this isn't it nor is the current article an avenue to get to that generic article. It would need to start from scratch anyhow, so TNT.

How ironic, you quote a guideline but fail to offer any argument. You should try and explain how the guideline applies. NOTCATALOGUE warns against articles that include "product pricing or availability information" - but there is none here. A list of films from a film studio or production company is a valid Wikipedia article, and BFI has produced many films. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:04, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge with American Arena League (or just a weak keep). Upon a search for sources, the APF gets several passing mentions but mostly in regards to the merger to create the AAL or as standard coverage of the former APF teams (primarily the Richmond Roughriders with their proposals to controversial football players). But as there does not seem to be any feature news articles on the league itself (such as independent coverage of its championship game), a merger, like the league itself, seems to to be in order for this one season low level league. (Perhaps @Ringerfan23: should also nom the Can-Am Indoor Football League for the same reason.) Yosemiter (talk) 14:39, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for notability since 2012, WP:ORPHAN since it was written in 2009 by Dswink. I can find very little online coverage (no news hits, for example), and not enough to meet WP:GNG. No charting songs or albums. The article notes two songwriting competitions he won, one Mid-Atlantic and one in Philadelphia. That's something, but we don't have articles for either award and I don't think they meet WP:MUSICBIO #9 (this is the point I'm least sure on). From digging around, I think he's been with the band "Our Vintage Film" since 2011. I can't find much about them either, but it's easier to find simple mentions. If there's significant coverage of them that I've missed, I'd suggest merging this article into a new one about them. I volunteer to write it if someone gives me the sources. But from what I could find, I don't think they're yet wiki-notable either. Mortee (talk) 03:10, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. While I can quite see why this nomination has been made, I still think that deletion would be the wrong decision - the NFER is a distinctly reputable (and quasi-official) producer and publisher of educational research, whose work tends to be on matters of current interest to British educational policymakers and is highly likely to inform their decisions. However, for the general public, this work is not exactly bedtime reading. This puts the NFER in pretty much the situation for which (admittedly for individuals rather than organisations) we have WP:NSCHOLAR#1 - it far more often gets passing mentions (which are likely to generate reader traffic to Wikipedia looking for further information) citing the work it produces than substantial coverage of the organisation itself. In this kind of situation, notability can be fairly safely assumed, though we do need at least some reliable (if not necessarily detailed) sources to support the content of the article. And, while I hope that more and better can be found, the following, while not ideal, look at least adequate for this purpose: [21], [22], [23], [24], [25] (for the last of these, a snippet suggests that the best information may be on page 94, which is unfortunately not part of the preview).

There can’t be 4 series for a TV show created in 2017. The sources are:
  1. The production company’s main site;
  2. A June 2016 Animation Magazine article about the upcoming series;
  3. An Animation Scoop article about the same topic and from the same time period (note the lack of an article); and
  4. The show’s page at IMDB.

Another motive of creating this page was adding it to the listings of Web Analytics tools and Tag Manager which are fundamental parts of this Piwik PRO Marketing Suite to improve those listings and provide more information to the Wikipedia readers. I will be happy if you will be able to prepare some strict instructions how to improve this article to respect all the Wikipedia guidlines. Thank you in advance!

  • Delete - For Wikipedia it all comes down to the depth of coverage in reliable sources. There is no WP:CORPDEPTH here so the topic would not meet notability requirements. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:55, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've added some additional resources from the couple of reliable and established websites. Please review. Thanks! User:Szymongrzesiak (talk) 08:50, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No indications of notability, a run-of-the-mill technology company. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion or marketing. References fail the criteria for establishing notability, fails WP:CORPDEPTH and/or WP:ORGIND, topic fails GNG and WP:NCORP. HighKing++ 15:25, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. In the early television serials in which he acted, Arduç had indeed minor roles, as is to be expected from an actor in the beginning of their career. But in two of the three films in which he played (Deliha and Mutluluk Zamanı) he had main roles, as well in his most recent television serials, Racon: Ailem İçin and Kiralık Aşk. For his role as Ömer İplikçi he received an astounding array of awards, testifying to a level of recognition far beyond being a "minor actor".  --Lambiam 19:07, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment What awards? If your going mention awards, you need to list them. Some awards tend to be more notable than others, and for every high end award, like the Oscars or the Bafta, there is 20, 30 or 50 minor awards. So lets quantify exactly what is the best award he has won. scope_creep (talk) 20:40, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    The awards mentioned in the article, in the section Awards and recognition.  --Lambiam 17:11, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Doing a translation of the 2015 and 2016. All the awards seem to be fairly minor, and indicative of an actor at the beginning of his career. scope_creep (talk) 20:58, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Best Actor (Series) (2 ×); Most Suitable Couple; Best Liked Series Actor; Inspiring Actor of the Year; Best Series Actor (3 ×); Best Actor (3 ×); Best Sequence Double; Best Advertising Film Awards; Best Youth Series Actor; Best Scolding Actor of the Year; Best Romantic and Comedy Series Actor; Most Ideal Couple; Best Comedy Series Actor; Most Spoken-of Man of the Year: I agree that these rewards, limited to Turkish film and television as they are, do not reach the level of importance of the Academy Awards or the BAFTA; still, it doesn't sound that minor to me. Several of these rewards were reported on in major Turkish newspapers with national circulation, such as Hürriyet and Milliyet, as well as in established magazines with wide circulation (the Turkish editions of Cosmopolitan [27] and GQ [28]). This also suggests they are not completely inconsequential. Disclaimer: I've never seen the actor on any screen; my understanding of the topic and assessments are purely based on the content of the article.  --Lambiam 17:11, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The first is Best Series Actor and the GQ award is Mostly Spoken Man of the Year not best actor. There is coverage per WP:SIGCOV but I think it is a case of WP:TOOSOON. scope_creep (talk) 18:07, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Isn't meeting WP:SIGCOV already sufficient to merit an article? WP:TOOSOON is about the situation when the topic does not meet any of the various notability criteria as set out by our guidelines. It is essentially a restatement of WP:CRYSTALBALL focusing specifically on entertainment topics.  --Lambiam 21:40, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no evidence he has had multiple significant roles in notable productions. The source section seems much larger than it is since many of the sources are unreliable ones such as IMDb.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:01, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep has significant coverage in reliable sources so passes WP:GNG, also prominent roles although only one major TV series has an article so WP:NACTOR is not proven. Atlantic306 (talk) 15:46, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    The film Sadece Sen also has an article, although it is a mere stub. On the Turkish Wikipedia it is a slightly more substantial article; see tr:Sadece Sen.  --Lambiam 18:30, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - there's a lot to sort out here, and the Turkish text isn't helping, but for me, being on the cover of Turkey's Cosmopolitan[[29]], GQ [[30]] and Vogue[[31]] certainly demonstrates notability in Turkey. The other info - film and TV - will have to be sorted out by others more familiar with Turkish media. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 00:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
