Lukumanu iddrisu[edit]

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

Non-notable individual who fails WP:ENT. Sourcing is poor, mostly mentioning the article subject in passing or coming from sources (like his university listing him as an alumni) that are not entirely third party. Iddrisu's main claim to notability is him wining a scholarship (described by the article's sources as an award) to Vaasa University of Applied Sciences in Finland. This in itself does not establish the Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment required by WP:ENT, which Iddrisu must be judged against as he is a blogger and motivation speaker.

- Rebuttal -Lukumanu iddrisu deletion: The article has been re-edited and written in a way that meet the requirement of section 1 of Any biography; because Iddrisu received a significant award. Furthermore, the argument regarding the award received being a scholarship does not hold. An award can come in many forms. Award at certain ceremonies comes in the form of scholarship in cash and certificate. That is what the news cited as well.
  Additionally, his thesis work has contributed to improving the poor study or ill-information of the subject matter which is Thought Leadership. Therefore I suggest it is Kept Sasluk11 (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANYBIO states that individuals can be assumed to be notable if they have received a well-known and significant award or honor. As far as an encyclopedia is concerned, a scholarship to Vaasa University is not a well known (and probably not significant) award. Even if these criteria are judged to be met, the article subject should be judged against WP:ENT as he is now a motivational speaker. See WP:NOT for why this is an issue. SamHolt6 (talk) 19:58, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO due to lack of substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The award for his BS thesis does not establish notability by any stretch of imagination. Rentier (talk) 23:55, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

John Morgan (lawyer)[edit]

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

An immense amount of promotional material added by a paid editor has been removed, along with several promotional supporting articles, and a large number of promotional links from attorneys in his firm, but I do not think there is really any underlying notability. There's evidence he supported the failed Florida marihuana amendment, but not that he was the central figure--the claims are all "one of the..." . The news reports are relatively minor. DGG ( talk ) 22:36, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - He really is a well-known lawyer [3]. Easily meets WP:BASIC and WP:GNG having been covered in numerous sources in a non-trivial fashion.[4][5][6][7][8]. C'mon, he's even a headliner in The Marijuana Times [9]!- MrX 23:02, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep and Close per MrX. MB298 (talk) 23:22, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep or Move- This is the guy who has like 500 commercials on tv everyday and then's there another lawyer who runs commercials saying that he and his law firm aren't legit. Well, whether you think is law firm is good or not, it seems to be a major operation. The firm claims to have over 2000 employees and 370 lawyers. I've just established notability for his firm. His notability would be founding that firm, but since notability is not inherited, that may be a weak argument. His political activity only adds slightly to his claim of notability. It might make more sense to move this to Morgan & Morgan and then change the focus of the article to his law firm (but retain information about him).--Rusf10 (talk) 04:58, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is not the level of reliable source coverage of Morgan as a person that justifies having an article on him.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:52, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If he is not notable, as you assert, then why did Politico ([10], [11], [12], [13], [14]), The New York Times ([15]), The Chicago Tribune ([16], [17]), and many more cover a potential candidacy for governor (he didn't even enter the race!)? MB298 (talk) 02:28, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per MrX and MB298. Sources indicate notability, especially since they covered someone who did not run, so it cannot be dismissed as routine coverage of announced political candidates. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 23:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of prolific songwriters[edit]

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

Indiscriminate list with an ill-defined WP:LSC and an unfortunate WP:GEOBIAS towards Indian authors. "Where is Justin Bieber?", some might ask. Or "where is Leonard Cohen?", others might ask. Personally I'd prefer to ask something slightly more highbrow such as "Where is Goethe?" Or as 78.26 asked in an edit summary: "For instance, how do you not list Johnny Mercer or Irving Berlin?" I have never been a big fan of neither Mercer nor Berlin, but seriously, where are they? This list seems to be a "list of Indian poets I remember" with four North Americans, Bob Dylan, David Foster (!), Alicia Keys (are you kidding me!?) and Bruno Mars spliced into the list. If "prolific" is defined as someone who "has written at least 100 songs", then this list will soon be long.

Keep - I've added Indian artists because statistics about Indian lyricists are easily available in websites like hindigeetmala.net, muvyz.com or atulsongaday, but american lyricists' total song number are counted nowhere.

Delete per nom/78.26. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 10:49, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The article seems to be quite informative. It has two references that clearly shows Rabindranath Tagore wrote 2,232 songs and Sameer set Guinness record for 3,500+ songs. Moreorver, the article has improved since its creation when most of the entries were Indians, but Important american, UK and korean songwriters' credits have also been added. So, I think now this article is eligible for wikipedia. 8.37.225.63 (talk) 14:38, 10 January 2018 (UTC) — 8.37.225.63 (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD. In fact they have not even edited the article. Sam Sailor 13:03, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What about Ghanian songwriters? Brazilian? Hawaiian? There are no polka musicians listed such as Gene Wisniewski, who recorded hundreds of polkas of his own. (Good luck finding a source on that one, by the way, until a discography of Dana Records is published). I appreciate the efforts, but the focus needs to be narrowed, not broadened. Even if this list were to be pared down to Indian musicians, India is a huge continent with a rich and multi-varied musical culture. Could several lists of Indian musicians be created, focusing on a particular region or genre? I don't want your work to be for naught, but I continue to believe that the humongous scope of this list makes it unsuitable for an encyclopedia. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 15:26, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is a list with fairly arbitrary inclusion criteria. Vorbee (talk) 17:24, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The scope of this could easily be reduced simply by raising the bar and narrowing the definition (does "song" mean a music track, as used by iTunes, or "a vocal composition sung with or without accompaniment", or something that is habitually called a "song" in reliable sources – Bach never wrote one of those, but he scores 954 in the table). But the concept is innately unencyclopaedic, and close to impossible to research, reference and maintain. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 00:23, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly Keep - The article has been improved since its creation. It covers nearly most of the famed songwriters with exact number of songs they written. So, I think this article should stay in Wikipedia. 8.37.225.53 (talk) 06:11, 12 January 2018 (UTC) — 8.37.225.53 (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and AFD.

Delete. Arbitrary and quite low definition of prolific. Full of unreferenced claims of records, suggesting WP:OR. Pburka (talk) 00:07, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete What is a song? That is a really good question, and unless we have a universal answer that all agree on to the question, we cannot have this list. This especially gets tricky because some works were put to music in ways that did not closely connect to their composition. The number 100 is arbitrary. No one has demonstrated that reliable sources ever refer to "prolific songwriters" as an actual group, let alone that there is actual consensus on where the group starts. Beyond this, there is no indication that the work has to have been published. There are people who I could not even say for sure if they should go in here or not. For example Evan Stephens wrote at least 84 hymns and anthems. However that is the number of his works published in one particular hymnbook. It is not clear if there were others published in other works, or songs by him sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and never published in a hymnbook. Also, are song writers only those who create the words, or those who create the music as well. What of cases where one set of music has been used for multiple lyrics? This list is a mess waiting to happen. Total number of songs is hard to reliably source, this is just a huge mess.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:04, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Interdisciplinary Design for the Built Environment[edit]

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

This university course has no notability independent of the college that runs it, the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership. Following discussion (not very extensive), I'd merged it to that page. The page creator has unmerged it, so we're back to square one. This appears to be promotion by a determined and connected editor; we don't tolerate promotion. We don't (fortunately!) have a page on every individual university course of study, and there's no reason that I can see why we should have this one.

Delete and redirect as per Ajf773. Paul W (talk) 09:03, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The notability of the course relates to its interdisciplinary nature and its focus on soft skills such as leadership and teamwork (both of which are relatively unusual since most masters courses promote technical specialism) and its origins and original syllabus in the ideas of the leading structural engineer of his day, Ove Arup. The course was a response to a meeting of the great and the good from the contruction industry professions held at Madingley Hall in 1991, which again differentiates it from most masters courses which lack this broad support and input. Second, the wikipedia entry is simply a factual account of the course and its operation. To call it promotional is a biased and unhelpful criticism. Third, given the nature of wikipedia, I can't actually see why there shouldn't be entries for every university course of study. Why not? They are not forced down everyone's throat - you look at them only if you are interested. The entry does also feature other similar courses at Oxford, Hong Kong etc. A question: are there justifications for separate entries for a musician's albums - or should they all be redirects to the musicians themselves? Fourth, all wikipedia entires are the result of an individual taking an interest in a topic which is clearly notable and writing about it. That's all I've done here. Finally, I can't help wondering whether your actions reflect Britain's anti-intellectualism - maybe you just don't like Cambridge University very much? In which case, I can assure you that the course has been very catholic in its recruitment, and is by no means full of English public-school boys. It's a course for the rest of us, devised to upskill those working in the built environment, not traditionally a sector that attracts high fliers. I am really unhappy at the two of you PaulW and justlettersandnumbers taking it upon yourselves to censor this entry which is informative and factual, supported by references and footnotes, features competitor courses, and, surely, is entirely harmless in the great order of things.

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

The result was keep. This is not a very satisfying debate to close; there's a lot of non-policy being thrown about on both sides of the argument. The results of AfDs on other wikis doesn't have much (if any) bearing here; each wiki develops its own standards. There's also a suggestion that this is the result of undisclosed paid editing, but there's no proof of that. Likewise, I don't put a lot of weight in the previous AfD. While recent, it also didn't see much participation.

In the end, there are plausible looking sources presented here, the strongest of which is the financialtribune article. Many of the other sources appear to be from non WP:RS, but it's really hard for me to judge that based just on the automated translations available to me, since I don't read Farsi.

I almost closed this as No Consensus, but decided to go with Keep mostly on the basis of the Financial Tribute source. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:15, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteI think this article has to be deleted from Wikipedia. This is not a famous or notable messenger. The statistics of the usage of this messenger is no known. There is no any famous web-sites mentioning this messenger. This messenger is not welcomed even in Iran and between Persians. The market share of this messenger is too little and it seems that this messenger is like an internal messenger. Even the claims of the producers has not verified well.

Keep The article deals with a an obviously notable instant messenger covered by multiple independent sources, namely Sputnik, Financial Tribune, Farsnews, Tasnim and Tehranpress.

Due to the restrictions of Telegram (the most popular messenger in Iran) as an aftermath of the recent unrest in January 2018, there has been a wave of migration to new instant messengers and iGap seems to be on the verge of being the lead. That is the reason for significant coverage of this software in media. The fact that Farsi Wikipedia did not like to keep the article (which IMHO is more a political than a professional decision) does not necessarily vouch for deletion a legitimate piece of writing with correct format and referencing here in English Wikipedia.--Charkhin (talk) 21:48, 10 January 2018 (U۱TC)

Could you explain what you mean by "Conservative cabinet minister support is enough to warrant significant coverage"? The only relevant guidelines as far as I can tell are WP:N and WP:ORG, neither of which relate to Conservative cabinet minister support, which isn't really "coverage".— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ralbegen (talk • contribs)

Sure thing Ralbegen, it means that it has governmental authority if it is an active Prganisation set up by a cabinet minister and endorsed by them (which CV is!). Hope that helps. (Thepoliticsexpert 11:46, 5 January 2018 (UTC))[reply]

@Thepoliticsexpert: I'm struggling to see how that relates to the inclusion criterion of notability and why you think it's significant coverage. Ralbegen (talk) 17:29, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message @Ralbegen:. We should keep this article because of its notability, which does not stem per se from cabinet authority but also from the fact that, as the article does say and give evidence by citations/references (#8) for, Conservative Voice has a "follower base of just under 10,000".

According to WP:ORG, the only relevant notability guideline that considers size: "The organization’s longevity, size of membership, major achievements, prominent scandals, or other factors specific to the organization should be considered to the extent that these factors have been reported by independent sources". Size is not sufficient, and the source used here is not independent. And again: support from cabinet ministers is not inherited. Ralbegen (talk) 21:02, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, as the existence of the group doesn't automatically confer notability. Neither, despite a rather hopeful (if non-policy-based) claim to the contrary, does the fact that cabinet ministers support the group. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 00:22, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The ariticle/organization has reliable sources such a The Telegraph[30] and The Independent[31]. In addition, right-wing political parties are rapidly gaining more and more power in Europe so it would be shortsighted to delete this article. Knox490 (talk) 04:49, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Telegraph and the Independent are reliable soruces, but I don't think that these articles constitute significant coverage, as rquired by WP:N and WP:ORG. From WP:ORG, these articles both seem to be largely based on press releases and so don't contribute towards notability. Beside that, routine reporting [...] like announcmenets [...] is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia per WP:NOTNEWSPAPER. Separately, notable topics have attracted attention over a sufficiently significant period of time per WP:SUSTAINED. These articles do not demonstrate sustained attention, and when I looked for more sources to do so I couldn't find anything more than passing mentions.

I think that the lack of sufficiency of the articles in the Independent and the Telegraph to meet the GNG is also highlighted by how little of the content can be drawn from them, and how much of the article has to be drawn from non-reliable, non-independent and primary sources.

Cansino was a bit part actor. It is not clear he ever had a significant role at all. It is a bit hard to tell because for example the plot summary of Miss Sadie Thompson is so bland and formulaic, but Cansino is not even listed among the 12 identified roles. The same problem occurs for The Mississippi Gambler, no listing of Cansino. He is listed for The Great Adventures of William Kidd, but this was a low budget production, Cansino's role is "native", and without fuller plot summary I cannot tell if Cansino was present in just one episode, or most of the 15 chapters. So we have nothing that appears to be a significant role. The only source listed is IMDb, and this may well have been the only source since 2007 when this article was created. This article seems to be a legacy of a time when some editors thought Wikipedia should have alrticles on everyone who ever had a credited role in a film produced within the Hollywood System. Fortunantly we have moved beyond this goal. A google search turned up only mentions in non-reliable sources, like an entry at Find a Grave. So the one source here is not reliable, and not meant to limit its scope to notable people, there is no indication of significant roles, and no sources to come even close to the general notability guidelines.

So, after a little WP:BEFORE I thought maybe she was notable but nearly every source is a passing mention or quoting her about her name being Alexa and Amazon's Alexa ruining the lives of women named Alexa. Simply, fails GNG at this time and all sources are primary/fluff pieces and many claims in this article are greatly exaggerated. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:29, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the given sources look impressive at first glance but in part are not independent and in part do not cover Curtis in any detail; many of those I checked are blatantly misrepresented, having little or nothing to do with the content they're cited for. Unsalvageable without rewriting it from scratch (if better sources can be found), and written with a clear intent to promote Curtis. Borderline G11 speedy deletion candidate.

Comment/Observation

To the admin that will judge this. I'm quite discouraged about what I see the nominator and other editors post on their DELETE votes.

Perhaps, they are very much in a haste when looking at the topic.

I keep crying as a lone voice here!

I spent some time reading the notability guidelines here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

I strongly believe that Alexa Curtis passes the WP:GNG. One of the lines there says

""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material."

Alexa Curtis is featured in-depth in the following news-related references that were used.

Check it, the topic is fully referenced and scores high mark in notability than thousands of pages I see being created by many editors here.

Let the Admin take a look before taking the final decision.

I rest my caseAlbaubamkpo (talk) 18:42, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Albaubamkpo Rest away. None of these establish notability, they're all passing mentions, fluff pieces or primary sources.CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 21:25, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"CHRISSYMAD"

"Rest away" is an offensive and discouraging word. I only stated facts.

My thesis is addressed to the wiki admin not you pls.

You nominated the page for AFD and you've been watching and commenting on the "Keeps" vote. Are you the only one who has the right to comment?

Is this how the AFD process work on WP Eng. That's discouraging ....Albaubamkpo (talk) 03:23, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep The topic passes the notability guidelines stated in WP:GNG and also in line with WP:BLP.

I just read the piece on written by CNN corresponded, Jacqueline Howard here. To be candid, the writer Howard featured Miss Alexa Curtis very richly. He address her mostly as "Curtis". It's a rare privilege to be featured on CNN.

I also read through those other references as listed by the article creator. for eg, this, Miss Curtis is well featured. Curtis as a lifestyle or fashion blogger also scores several hits on GoogleNews.

However, I agree, some of the references especially the ones on interviews look primary and some only mentioned her in passing. for eg this That notwithstanding, the refs that featured her richly are far more greater in number that those that merely mentioned her. Hence, I guess, the topic should be kept.Canadihot (talk) 09:01, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notability is established in accordance with [General notability guideline] although the page has too many references both secondary and primary. But yet the page needs more improvement.

comment I checked all the references, and had to remove plenty, sadly. Other parts contained blp information that were only sourced to blogs. Still other refs were there, but Alexix was not mentioned in them. She does not pass WP:GNG and this article will likely get deleted. Lacypaperclip (talk) 10:18, 16 January 2018 (UTC)¡[reply]

Clarification

Thanks "Lacypaperclip" for cleaning up the page and removing non-suitable refs as one of the editors suggested above.

Just to clarify u. Her name in those refs is not "Alexix". Her name is " Alexa Curtis". In most of the refs, the writers used mostly "Curtis" her surname. The CNN ref is a good example. So, I guess she passed the Notability requirements as some editors already pointed out.Albaubamkpo (talk) 12:17, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

comment - Albaubamkpo I just miss typed Alexa. I know her name. She does not pass notability because many refs left are just brief mentions which cannot be used toward notability, Neither can interviews which do not support the article text. Short videos where she is promoting companies and their merchandise do not give any notability. Lacypaperclip (talk) 13:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because the given sources are reliable like CNN, FOX etc. but not in very detail but bit rewriting can make it better as per references so I would suggest Strongly KEEP the articale :)

Randomlike (talk) 15:44, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A source can be reliable but not WP:COVERAGE. That's the case here - this isn't coverage of her, it's not independent and at best, are passing mentions or primary. An interview doesn't equate to notability. CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 16:16, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Wikipedians,

the section A7 forsees the deletion of an article about a real person that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, therefore widely known, even in a specific demographic group, for instance: classic Italian super-mini car collectors. The article in question regards Andreas Fakis, the lead curator of the biennial Public Art Festival and the founder of the independent cultural foundation Studio 4. Andreas Fakis is perhaps the only curator in Greece that specialises in the public art genre, so the deletion of his page would not only be outside the criteria of the section A7, but could "pose in question" the articles of other well-respected curators that have not achieved a "museum-director" status, within and beyond Greece. The information I have provided is not backed only by web articles, but also by conferences that have been recorded, tv and radio interviews, newspaper articles and some web articles. Since wikipedia is such a collective place, I would find it kind enough if articles like this were not nominated for deletion, but instead were improved by the community according to wikipedia's standards, for instance non-web sources could be a good fit for this article.

Marie Grice Young[edit]

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

Not even remotely notable. There were THOUSANDS of people on the Titanic, to the point that it would be very unlikely if there weren't LGBT passengers, (openly or not); hence being an LGBT passenger on the Titanic is not notable. She doesn't seem to have been otherwise heavily involved with the incident, (if she became a maritime safety advocate then would be notable), but nothing about her is really that notable. She is not a current prisoner of conscience, officeholder, activist or in anyway notable and media that mentions her mostly consists of brief statements or is from incredibly niche sources, and there is/was no undue censorship of her from such media to account for such lack of mention. She was not famous before the incident nor did she become famous afterwards (ex Dorothy Gibson), nor was she an engineer or decision-maker that had a role in the disaster (ex, J. Bruce Ismay). She did not take charge of a lifeboat to return to the scene of the accident and rescue more people (ex Harold Lowe), nor was her survival the subject of a film/musical/book/etc (ex Edith Rosenbaum) She ends up as just one of many people who survived the Titanic, (who could have been an LGBT person among a group of thousands of people) and that itself is not worth an article. PlanespotterA320 (talk) 18:58, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: she was famous before the Titanic as a sought after piano teacher in Washington (the references in the article are just a few of those you can find in newspaper of the time) and moreover at least two of your motivations (she did not take charge of a lifeboat and media that mentions her mostly consists of brief statements) are false: these article said exactly the opposite, [57] and [58]. She was by the way the last First Class women passenger to leave the Titanic (another thing that is more than once reported in newspapers) and she is often cited in books about the Titanic, for one reason or the other: 10 results as "Marie G. Young" and 290 books as "Marie Grice Young". If you search newspapers.com during her lifetime, "Marie G. Young" return 66 articles: [59] and "Marie Grice Young" 31 articles: [60], without considering "Miss Marie Young" (the name she went for) in New York and Washington, 93 article: [61]. I think this is more than enough to prove notability. Elisa.rolle (talk) 19:08, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A mention in a newspaper is not much for this scenario considering that newspapers would want to interview Titanic survivors, especially. Being a good piano teacher is not notable unless said person is Beethoven, Mozart, etc. After the titanic sank lists of survivors and deaths with descriptions of the person were posted everywhere to help families find there loved ones. She is not the subject of a major work of popular culture, and like I said, it doesn't matter if she was just in charge of a lifeboat, but if she went against orders from higher-up or used force to get the boat to return it would be notable (see Margaret Brown). Assisting a lifeboat wouldn't have been unusual, lifeboats required many people to operate. A niche research compilation about Titantic would turn up some biography of nearly every passenger, that doesn't mean every passenger was important. She didn't cause the accident, she wasn't the subject of popular media adaptions, she was nothing more than a passenger with a sightly above-average life. Doesn't merit whole article.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 20:16, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

She is not "A mention in a newspaper", she is in the headlines: "Miss Young, Passenger on Titanic, Taught Music to Roosevelt" [62]; “Miss Marie G. Young, An Interesting Piano Recital by Her Pupils” [63]; “Last Pupils’ Recitals Given by Miss Young’s Students” [64]; “Miss Young’s Pupils, The President Attended Their Recital Saturday Afternoon [65]; “The Misses Young Safe” [66]; “Last Good Bye” [67]; “Miss Young to Give Reading in Slaterville” [68]; “Lives Saved by Woman’s Insistence” [69] “Miss Marie G. Young, Former Music Teacher at the White House, Rescued From the Titanic, Describes the Sufferings of Some of the Survivors” [70]; “103 years later, OutSmart dives into the lives of LGBT passengers aboard the Titanic” [71]; “New Musical Reading of Enoch Arden” [72]; “Miss Marie Young Dies” [73]; "She Saw Maj. Butt with Col. Astor Go Down to Death” [74] Elisa.rolle (talk) 20:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This book: "Titanic: women and children first" [75] has a chapter about her and White and a photo of the both of them... among thousand of women (and men) they chose to talk about her. Again notability proven

Keep: looks like enough reliable sources to me. I feel like the argument "niche sources" needs to be better explained; I would argue that plenty of niche topics are present on Wikipedia - wouldn't Star Wars lore count as niche? Regardless, what guidelines do we have on niche-ness of sources and avoiding such sources?

I agree with Elisa.rolle that there are plenty of books mentioning Young; this one mentions that she was a former music teacher at the White House (the article should perhaps feature this detail more prominently). = paul2520 (talk) 20:21, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Plenty of sourcing. Not all sourcing comes in big write-ups; sometimes you have to pick the information out of numerous sources to form the whole. At least one of the sources I saw above described her as "the White House music teacher". Plus, she helped save lives during the Titanic sinking - she was a public hero during an historic tragedy. Just so happens that all of this occurred before the era of radio and television talk shows, otherwise the Titanic and White House associations would have her making the rounds. — Maile (talk) 21:46, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: There were "THOUSANDS of people" is slightly misleading; there were 324 passengers in the First Class. Reading through these headline coverage from the Washington Post and the Evening World at the time, it would be unfair to call these coverage "trivial mention"; significant coverage does not need to the main topic. One argument may be that these newspaper are trying to cover the narrative of survival, but I wouldn't imagine a non-notable person could receive interview from several major publishers; the Evening World source presumably describes Young's connection to the Roosevelt family to establish her credibility.

Delete Appears to be a case of WP:BLP1E since the only independent coverage is of her single MMA fight (an exhibition) because it was against a male. The notability claim is based on her being the first woman to ever defeat a man in MMA, but there's no overall governing body to show that's true. Even the Asianet coverage says "she has allegedly become the first ...", so it's a claim without real proof of being true. As far as relevent SNGs go, nothing to show she meets the notability criteria for MMA fighters or martial artists. Papaursa (talk) 20:40, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:AUTHOR. It took a collaboration of editors a while to sift through what could be verified and what couldn't as the article before the investigation sat as a hallmark WP:SOAP, but it has become clear to me that outside of the WP:FRINGE communities, this person is not well-known. To that end, she also fails WP:FRINGEBLP since there does not seem to be notice of her writings by those not taken in by the New Age flights-of-fancy she entertains. jps (talk) 18:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is mostly "referenced" to her own website (which no longer exists, although an older one still does) and it fails to make much of a claim of notability anyway. One of her books ("Mysteries of the Bridechamber: The Initiation of Jesus and the Temple of Solomon") is published through Simon and Schuster, which is at least a mainstream publisher, but the other ("Shambhala: The Fascinating Truth behind the Myth of Shangri-la") is through Quest Books which seems to be something to do with the Theosophical Society or maybe just not a notable publisher at all. Discounting the second and focusing on the first: Does it get any Google News or Scholar coverage? A professional review? Anything RS at all? Um, no. In fact I don't see anything to suggest that she is very widely known of even within the fringe interest circles that these sorts of books are aimed at, which is even less than what the nomination credits her with.--DanielRigal (talk) 20:34, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Robin Stuart-Kotze[edit]

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

Unsourced and moderately advertorialized article about a writer who has no genuinely strong claim to passing WP:AUTHOR besides the fact that he and his work exist. This reads more like the kind of author profile one might expect to find on his own self-published website than like an encyclopedia article -- and the context of the books listed in "further reading" is unclear, as at least two of them were published before he or his work could possibly have been addressed as a subject in them (a management book published in 1954, for example, cannot possibly be relevant to the notability of a person who was only 15 years old at the time and didn't even start working as a management consultant for another decade-plus). And a third is the PhD thesis of a person with whom the subject directly coauthored other works -- so even if he's cited in or the subject of any content in that thesis, it would fail our requirement that sources have to be independent of the subject to support notability. As always, Wikipedia is not LinkedIn -- he's not entitled to have an article on here just because he exists, but his notability isn't being properly demonstrated or sourced by this article.

Kinky boots[edit]

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

merge to thigh-high boots (!vote changed after discussion) Unreferenced for 10 years. There is no such specific model of boots. This is just a word collocation: boots that are kinky. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:33, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kinky boots a.k.a. fetish boots are a real thing discussed in the encyclopedia entry here. FloridaArmy (talk) 00:12, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, two sentences. Very encyclopedic. Staszek Lem (talk) 01:57, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Three sentences actually and they debunk your argument that the terminolgy is simply word collocation. You are correct that it's not a particular model of boots. An entry in an independent and reliable encyclopedia should be enough to confirm this subject's notability. FloridaArmy (talk) 02:05, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If you read your encyclopedia carefully, you would notice that the encyclopedic term described is fetish boots. The text also says that there was lots of other kinky things: kinky shoes, kinky accesories, etc., in other words, yes, it is just a word collocation, one of many. Staszek Lem (talk) 03:02, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Lavish boots for day and evening were a specialty of the house, which also created some of the most extravagant fetish boots ever made with heels up to ten and a half inches high. (The fetish models included high, rhinestoned platforms, a precursor to the styles so fashionable in the late 1930s.) " -- i.e., the expression "fetish boots" was already known in 1920s. Staszek Lem (talk) 02:07, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Very interesting. Is fetish boots a better title fpr the article? FloridaArmy (talk) 02:48, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing I can say is that someone has to work diligently with sources, to write a correct wikipedia article. The current one is untrustworthy. Staszek Lem (talk) 03:04, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You will also find the article Thigh-high boots highly instructive. And IMO it would be a good merge/redirect target. Staszek Lem (talk) 03:11, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to thigh-high boots. The nominated article would be an appropriate section of the merge target, and this way a permastub is avoided. The disambiguation page should be moved to this page. Many of the disambiguated items are well-known, leading to no primary topic. James (^talk/_contribs) 10:26, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of songs censored or banned in Malaysia[edit]

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

Almost all songs on the list are unsourced, as is the lead section. Most of the reasons, and possibly the inclusion of the songs, are likely WP:OR and/or WP:SPECULATION. It is tagged as possibly failing WP:LISTN; preliminary Google search turns up no reliable lists. In fact, there are few lists at all, only news reports about "Despacito" being banned. The list is self-declared incomplete, consisting entirely of hit pop songs. There is no explanation for the cutoff date of 2010; this just seems to be arbitrarily chosen. Note that we have no similar lists for other countries, just List of songs banned by the BBC. All three amboxes applied to the article date to June 2011.

Delete there is no evidence at all that Blanco is notable. Even if the red dress issue could be sourced (I am still not sure how wearing a red dress could approach notability), it would have major one-event and not news issues. The article has exactly Zero reliable sources, and is a prime example of why we do not source article to Wikipedia.

Ripple pictures[edit]

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

I can find no evidence that this term is widely (or even occasionally) used in English to describe this type of image. Just translating a German word into English doesn't make it "a thing". In contrast, the term "ripple image" is used in a number of other contexts including graphical and scientific representations. Lithopsian (talk) 19:46, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: now moved to "Turning picture", a term found in literature about this type of image (see source links in article). Although the terminology is somewhat unclear and not very common, the actual technique it describes has been quite common for some centuries. Redirecting to Lenticular printing#Ripple pictures and expanding that section would clutter up the Lenticular printing article, while it is only a predecessor of that subject and not a form of lenticular printing. I hope to find more relevant content from useful sources soon. Possibly better terminology can be found. Joortje1

Comment: I've carried out a Google Book search and a Google Scholar search for "turning pictures": the only relevant results all trace back to an essay by Alan Shuckman in the Art Bulletin. While this publication appears to be a wholly reputable source, I'm still not convinced that a single is essay enough to prove that the phrase passes GNG criteria. I'm open to persuasion, though, so I've changed my !vote to reflect this. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 14:07, 7 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: While I think I can see where the original editor is coming from, I don't agree (as it says in the article) that Anamorphosis is an imprecise term for the thing on the 1-pound coin (just to use the most familiar example in the article). Rather, I think the thing on the coin is one type of anamorphosis, in its sense as a general term for perspective-based optical illusions. The turning pictures described in Shickman's article are elsewhere called “channel anamorphosis," after the appearance of the image slices in ridges or channels. 1 2 With that said, the Wikipedia anamorphosis article is very scattered. It looks like it started as an article about anamorphosis in European painting and gradually turned into a grab bag of 2-dimensional, 3-dimensional and lens-based perspective illusions, without a thesis that pulls them together. I'm not confident that adding Ripple pictures to that article will immediately strengthen an understanding of either anamorphosis or turning/ripple pictures. But I do think putting it there will get it to the right place for when someone tries to clean up the anamorphosis article. KR26740 (talk) 17:30, 8 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I agree that this can be regarded as a type of anamorphosis, although it arguably is slightly different in that it conceals more images and these images are not really distorted in the way that other types of anamorphosis are - it is more like they are scattered and reassembled when viewed from the correct angle. "Channel anamorphosis" would be a more precise term, but also seems very uncommon. I found the term "tabula scalata" which seems to be much more common, and moved the article again. I also put a few lines about it in the Anamorphosis article, but don't believe merging would work. I'll check more sources now I've found the right term and I intend to keep expanding and editing the article.Joortje1 (talk)

Update from the original proposer. In case anyone is struggling to know where everything went and now is. Following this AfD, Ripple pictures was moved to Turning picture. Then Turning picture was moved to Tabula scalata. Then the Ripple pictures redirect was retargeted to Lenticular printing#Ripple pictures (the article exists but that section does not). Tabula scalata was briefly turned into a redirect to Lenticular printing#Ripple pictures and the double-redirect bot edited Turning picture to match. Tabula scalata has now been returned to a standalone article, although as of right now there are no redirects to it. Lithopsian (talk) 15:37, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are 3 main article links in the history section of Lenticular printing which give pages with further information, one of them for the article being discussed here. The article under AFD offers useful encyclopedic information and the refs look ok. The article creator appears to have been involved in adding substantial new content to many pages in this field, a valuable commodity, and rearranged pages accordingly. Szzuk (talk) 23:31, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK I did some more digging around to see what is going on here...first off this is a separate entity to anything else on wikipedia that I can find. It isn't Lenticular printing because that requires a) a lenticular lens and b) printing, neither of which is satisfied. It isn't anamorphosis because that requires a distorted image and a real one, once again not satisfied. Second the phenomenon is historical and goes by a few different names hence the confusing article moves around the time of this AFD. Based upon a reading of the refs and googling I think the article should be left where it is at Tabula scalata and Ripple pictures and Turning pictures should redirect to Tabula scalata. This may not end up being the final name, whichever the case I don't think the project is improved by deletion. Szzuk (talk) 17:24, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are plenty of major media coverage on this company from credible sources such as Bloomberg, TechCrunch, thestreet and more.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  The article notes:
  
  A start-up called Robinhood Markets is taking on the big brokerage firms with its commission-free trading app, and appears to be making headway. Since its introduction in December 2014, the app has attracted a million users and executed more than $30 billion in trades, up from $2 billion in 2015.
  Despite the app’s hype and surging popularity, some industry experts question if the free-trades business model can survive, or if it will wind up joining other start-ups that have crashed and burned. The company currently makes money primarily from interest on customer cash balances.
  At Robinhood, there is no minimum deposit to register an account, and there are no trading fees for customers who buy and sell United States-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds. To keep costs down, the company, in Palo Alto, Calif., takes a no-frills approach. It has no storefront offices. It does not provide research reports, analytical tools, stock screening gizmos or options trading on its platform.

  The article notes:
  
  Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt are betting there’s a big, untapped market of millennials curious about buying stocks.
  Their waiting list of more than 700,000 people would suggest they are right.
  Tenev and Bhatt launched pick-up-and-go brokerage app Robinhood (no connection to the charity foundation of Paul Tudor Jones) late last year, and began with an invite-only beta. Word-of-mouth buzz built the app’s waitlist up to more than 700,000 people. Today, Robinhood has announced it is letting in everyone on the list, and its service will now be available without a wait. The company also suggested to Fortune that it has plans for an app catered to the Apple Watch. It has raised $16 million to date, from investors that include Index Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz.
  Robinhood’s selling point is that it allows for quick buying and selling of stocks—for now, only U.S. stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq—with no commission per trade and no minimum balance required.

  It was during the Occupy Wall Street movement of 2011 that Baiju Bhatt decided to democratise finance.
  Today, as he wraps himself in a blue blanket against the chill of the air conditioning at the Palo Alto offices of his $1.3bn start-up, Mr Bhatt says Thomas Piketty’s study of wealth inequality also inspires his mission.
  That explains the company’s name: Robinhood, whose last funding round in April sent its value above $1bn, crowning it as one of the newest “unicorns”. As for the means of social change? Free stock trading for millennials.

  The article notes:
  
  A venture fund run by Josh Kushner, brother of the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, has joined a new funding round for Robinhood, afree stock-trading app that has forced a fierce price war in America’s online brokerage industry.
  Robinhood said on Wednesday it had sealed a $110m Series C funding round that valued it at $1.3bn, putting it in the exclusive club of so-called unicorns worth more than nine figures.
  The Palo Alto-based company, which offers commission-free trading for all US stocks and exchange traded funds, did not disclose a valuation at its last equity injection in early 2015.
  ...
  Robinhood’s new funding round also features Yuri Milner, the Russian tech investor who runs DST, best known for its pre-IPO investments in companies including Facebook, Twitter, Groupon and Zynga. Existing investors Index Ventures, NEA and Ribbit Capital also participated in the round, which brings Robinhood’s total funding to date to $176m.

  The article notes:
  
  Robinhood, a Silicon Valley upstart, launched on Apple Inc.’s App Store in December and is courting young investors with as little as a few dollars to invest. The year-old company, based in Palo Alto, Calif., promises to let investors trade without a fee or commission.
  Robinhood, which is backed by venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and celebrities Snoop Dogg and Jared Leto, has already invited roughly 150 thousand people to create an account. The company had over a half million prospective customers who signed up to be contacted about joining.
  But beneath the buzz lurks questions about the company’s profit potential.
  The company says it plans to make money through margin lending, a feature in which customers are charged for loans they take on to make trades. There’s also interest revenue, which the company will gather from the idle cash balances that customers put in their accounts.

  The article notes:
  
  You can now trade stocks for free.
  As implausible as that sounds, the new Robinhood app allows you to trade stocks for no commission. That's a fat discount to the $7.99 or more that other online brokers such as E*Trade (ETFC) charge when you buy and sell stocks.
  The app officially launched Thursday after having amassed a list of 800,000 people on a waitlist. It can be dowloaded for free on the iPhone (an Android version is in the works).
  Besides offering free trading, the app also doesn't require a minimum balance to open an account. So someone could put in as little as $50 to $100 and start trading.

  The article notes:
  
  With the investing app Robinhood, customers can buy full shares of individual stocks and ETFs but they don’t receive any advice on which investments might be a good fit for them. Because investors are not buying fractional shares, the app requires users to have enough money to buy full shares of a stock or ETF. However, owning full shares also means having more direct exposure to individual companies. Take someone who wants to buy a share of Disney, which was recently trading at $96 a share. That investor will need at least $96 in their account to buy that share and the value of their investment would change directly with the price of the stock. So if that stock sinks to $80 a share, investors would lose $16 for every share they own.
  It’s possible to use the app to build and manage a diversified portfolio using individual stocks. But investors who want that kind of diversification may need to have more cash to invest through Robinhood than they do through Acorns and Stash. Another option is to diversify by buying shares of an ETF, which already invest in a group of stocks or bonds. Robinhood customers don’t have to pay trading fees, but they are left on their own to decide which investments to buy.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Robinhood Markets to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Speedy Keep. I've added a couple of refs to bulk the page up a bit, but even a cursory search will reveal that he is one of Britain's foremost classical music journalists.

Delete. A person's notability as a radio host cannot be supported by his own staff profiles on the websites of the radio stations he works for, and his notability as a writer cannot be supported by his author bio on the website of his own publisher or his staff profile on the website of the newspaper he wrote for — his notability for either endeavour has to be supported by reliable source coverage about him and independent of him: namely, media outlets he doesn't work for publishing news content in which he and his work are the subjects of coverage and analysis. But that's not the type of sourcing being shown here. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can source him better than this, but none of the sourcing Mcewan added cuts the mustard at all and nothing claimed in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to cut mustard.

I agree with the above comment, he is one of Britain’s most highly regarded classical music journalists and presenters, although perhaps this isn’t known outside classical music or maybe even outside the UK. And with respect to Bearcat, as I didn’t make it clear, the links I posted were intended to show he “Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment” without me actually having to go through listing citations for everything mentioned.

Wikipedia times were very different a decade ago, and we didn't insist on sourcing to the same degree that we do now or have such strongly defined criteria for the notability of radio personalities.

Delete. Nothing notable for secondary coverage on the term, nor is it a phrase really useful for a redirect or a merge with respect to plant breeding topics. Seems like an attempt at a WP:NEOLOGISM, and deletion is usually better in those cases. Kingofaces43 (talk) 03:09, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a few keep votes below that actually further justify the rationale for deleting, so it's worthwhile to flesh out those issues since there seems to be some confusion I was already concerned about happening:

1. The term is not encyclopedic and violates WP:RECENTISM and WP:NEOLOGISM. Even this source outlines it is not a scientific or regulatory-based term and is pretty ambiguous (i.e., neologism). Instead, plant breeding is an area to outline additional plant breeding techniques or else genetic engineering, gene editing, etc. with individual techniques like Zinc finger nuclease and TALENs getting content on their own pages.

2. New is just a qualifier. As seen in discussions below, one can google the term and get many results, but that's why deletion should occur. In most cases, "new" is just referring to current generation breeding techniques, which is a level of nuance that often is glossed over in AfD discussions. In some cases, the phrase is capitalized as New Breeding Techniques, which makes it seem like it's a more notable term, but that's mainly an artifact of using an acronym and capitalizing text. It's not a term to center an article under where these newer techniques eventually become older techniques and there will be new "new" techniques. NEOLOGISM cautions against these very kinds of things for notability discussions.

3. Redundancy. Plant breeding and related articles were already mentions as places to discuss newer breeding techniques (and they already do). However, as this article being discussed has been expanded it's also become mostly redundant with GMO articles too. Problems with lumping different methods into an article are already discussed in addition to terminology nuance, so discussion of the techniques without the new qualifier (as Elmidae mentioned above) need to be fleshed out in the context of those articles (if not already present) in order not to run afoul of WP:OR or WP:WEIGHT where the article is already contradicting itself or other articles. Kingofaces43 (talk) 19:18, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In short, trying to argue the term should be notable for an article is putting the horse before the cart here in addition to conflicting with being encyclopedic. Kingofaces43 (talk) 19:01, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep Sheesh, does nobody do WP:BEFORE any more, or do those casting their votes just look at the article and don't both using Google for 2 minutes? There are clearly enormous numbers of very respectable sources showing that this is a relatively new but very legitimate and important subject, currently being legally addressed by EU courts, and possibly being used to circumvent current legislation and definitions on GMOs (genetic engineering) worlwide. How it is addressed by governments could well have major global implications on food production. Rather than even suggesting a redirect to GMO or genome editing or synthetic biology, which are already all quite sizeable articles, I suggest its retention and improvement here, at least in the first instance. I've not time right now to enhance this (admittedly very poor) article, but I'll just place these links here for now, and come back and see what I can do to ensure its retention, or possibly modify my !vote in the next few days:

Should, heaven forbid, there be a consensus to redirect or delete, will the closing admin please draftify this article, too, and I'll work on it as I'm able. I genuinely think this could be extremely important. Just a shame its such a cr*ppily-written page at the moment! Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes (talk) 01:32, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I've just put in a few hours' editing to make some basic improvements, though a lot more still could be done. Nick Moyes (talk) 04:11, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good stuff. I admit I found hardly any of these sources that deal with the term as a specific current concept; it seemed pretty much submerged in general use examples. I suppose it helps if you know beforehand that there's something to it. The background material certainly makes a better case for notability. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 08:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

BEFORE is why deletion was recommended prior. None of those sources establish notability, which is why my vote was delete after seeing many of these sources in a google search before you posted. In this case, adding "new" in front of breeding techniques is a WP:RECENTISM violation. Whenever scientists talk about a "new" set of methods, that doesn't make "new X" notable as as term. We don't create articles for new software, new chemistry, etc. The relative age of a method within any changing discipline is just handled under that topic's article. Any scientific sources I've seen are just using new as a qualifier and sometimes using it as an acronym for shortening. Switching from my editor to scientist hat, even when I pop over to agronomy related scientific meetings where crop breeders cover a lot of the agenda, I've yet to see this term be used in quite the way it's being proposed here by the keeps. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep covered in recent independent high quality reviews PMID 26027462, 27059762, 28278120. Boghog (talk) 12:17, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources don't cover the term in a manner satisfying WP:N though. The first just uses NBT as a shortened acronym to describe newer breeding techniques (i.e., how do these new methods apply to organic). The second just uses the new qualifier again in an also superficial manner. The third goes into discussion of NBT too in the context of them being newer than older genetic engineering methods, but that doesn't rise above WP:NEOLOGISM either. Kingofaces43 (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is debatable if the above sources cover the subject in a superficial way. The first source refers to NBTs 23 times through the entire length of the article. Here is another source that I think treats NBT in more than a superficial way:

Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (23 May 2017). "Chapter 3.3. New breeding techniques (NBT)". New Techniques in Agricultural Biotechnology (PDF). Brussels: European Commission. pp. 56–70. doi:10.2777/574498. ISBN 978-92-79-66222-5.

Boghog (talk) 19:46, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they use the term multiple times, but it's the same neologism issue of basically saying "Here's our newest set of breeding techniques with no unique definition for the group." That's a problem I've been running into repeatedly as I've tried to deal with contradictory information from sources at the article on attempted definitions. In nearly every source, it's used a header or catch all to go into depth on relatively new things like gene editing and a mix of other methods that overlap with "traditional" genetic modification too.

It's partly a real-world vocabulary mess even in the larger topic, but for us on the encyclopedic end, the true title of this article is really more, "Breeding techniques that primarily began to be used after 2010" or something like that. That's the functional problem for article building once you start really digging into the content matter (and the case for treating the techniques at other articles rather than lump). Kingofaces43 (talk) 20:26, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it does looks like a set of different techniques intended to circumvent existing legislation on genetically modified organisms. This is not a scientifically justified terminology. It appears like a journalistic-like term, but it does appear in a number of sources. My very best wishes (talk) 22:21, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The phrasing appears in a number of sources, but that usage here in the keep logic amounts to WP:OR . Part of that is what I just described above, and part of it is a misapplication of WP:N simply because a particular qualifier is used (and often is for discussing scientific updates without implying notability). As you've alluded to, this term is not encyclopedic (journalists don't get to define something pretty squarely in the realm of a scientific discipline). The techniques have only been loosely categorized as new because the new techniques are a mixture of gene editing and others (all covered above a few times now). Discussion of individual techniques that don't fit in the GMO regulatory framework belong at the individual technique articles instead of us trying to cobble together a single article of unrelated techniques aside from being under plant or animal breeding. If this article survives AfD, those problems are only going to compound when the next set of "new" breeding techniques comes along in the next 10 years, etc., which should be a strong indication of how unencyclopedic this is. Kingofaces43 (talk) 22:51, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did not tell "this term is not encyclopedic". I said this is not a scientifically solid terminology. But yes, this is an argument in favor of deletion. My very best wishes (talk) 20:34, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

More popular and more authoritative website on Cricket, i.e Cricket Archive was recently deleted due to lack of sufficient sources not even lack of sources at all. To give rough comparison, CricketArchive was widely used across Wikipedia to support Cricket Articles (See How many times it's is cited on Wikipedia) and compare with (the Island Cricket's number) which doesn't even have secure website yet. Further, CA has far better Alexa rank than this one, and at least one academic sources (if I remember correctly) but all these didn't save it.

Delete A commercial fansite, nothing remarkable. Since hornfans is a commercial entity, it should also be looked at in relation to the criteria for organizations. None of the references in the article (or quoted in previous AfD's) meet the criteria for establishing notability. References fail WP:ORGIND and WP:CORPDEPTH, article fails GNG.

Oddly enough, I thought stating that None of the references in the article (or quoted in previous AfD's) meet the criteria for establishing notability.

Redirect to American Laser Games. Not sure about this one's notability, but my own researches never turned up any references to the game, and glancing over those GBook results I'm not confident that we'll find significant coverage there; it looks mostly like just simple lists of ALG's output. Incidentally, the article's statement "Soon after the game appeared on the market, American Laser Games went out of business, which, along with technical issues which limited its popularity in the arcades, further contributed to the title's obscurity." is outright false. As sourced in the company's article, ALG didn't drop out of the arcade business until November 1995, and they continued to produce console games for a while after that.--Martin IIIa (talk) 02:18, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Hello Winged Blades of Godric, the article was created in the Azerbaijani Wikipedia first. It was created by White Demon, a sysop in Azerbaijani Wikipedia, who is active since 2014/2015. The article should be kept, because it is the first organization to be created by Azerbaijanis and encompass a whole US state. It is a newly created organization, but it is believed that they will play huge role in the Azerbaijani-USA relations. I hope this is enough for keeping the article.

Delete the sourcing doesn't matter at all here, and I haven't reviewed it: I don't need to do that to be able to make a determination. This organization is small and was founded 27 days ago according to the infobox. Sourcing be damned, it isn't notable. If it is, then our guidelines are seriously flawed. Yes, this is a IDONTLIKEIT delete !vote, but it is one based on commonsense and reasoning, which we are supposed to take into account when it comes to forming consensus. We don't need an in-depth review of sourcing when something doesn't even present a prima facie argument for itself to be included, and we lack one here. Some common sense in the deletion process would be useful. TonyBallioni (talk) 14:48, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment that’s a weak reason. Plenty of people, both guilty and innocent, have been accused of a crime but never convicted.

This is a story that has broad ranging implications in the Jewish community in Australia, and with Israel-Australia relations, relating to the extradition. Numerous politicians have been involved, and it has been reported widely across the world. There is also the civil case where a record compensation package was demanded.

I have replied on your talk page Edaham (talk) 11:23, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment WP:BLP1E, WP:N/CA and WP:PERPETRATOR represent wikipedia policy in this area. It is very common that articles about individuals associated with an event are brought to AfD, and equally common for a determination to be made that an article about the event is a better choice than an article about the person. Please read through the policy and come back to us with your thoughts. A rename of this otherwise very reasonable article may be the way to go. --Tagishsimon (talk) 07:57, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – looks like someone notable for one event, and it's too early to tell if the event itself will have a major impact. The article can be recreated in the future if it is discovered that this had a significant effect on Australia–Israel relations. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 08:45, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete tentatively - I'm the nominee. I'm sorry for not filing the alerts properly but I got called off on business almost immediately after making the nomination through our page reviewer tools.
- I nominated this because 1) accusatory terminology is used regarding things with which the subject has not been charged. I quote as an example: "This was the environment that Leifer exploited in order to abuse the children" - While this sentence is sourced it violates WP:BLPCRIME and WP:PERP 2) Certain facts are ambiguous pending the results of the ongoing court cases. In this case it was a particularly difficult article to scrutinize as it is abundantly sourced. However almost the entire article is written without taking our policy of innocent until convicted into account.
- I'm quite familiar with the policies pertaining to this article, I understand it's well sourced and not suitable for speedy. I am putting it through the AfD process to ensure it gets the scrutiny it deserves and see this as an opportunity for editors to challenge the way it is written as much as have it struck from our pages.
- Pending a rewrite which takes these into account, I think the best thing to do is have the article removed per BLP until such time as it is rewritten to address the above. Move to draft was not the appropriate move, nor is permanent deletion. I simply feel that there are too many BLPCRIME issues there to leave it there until it has been resolved.
- Apologies to the article creator once again for not notifying more quickly. btw the article also requires cats etc - had these been added, other editors might have come along and fixed the issues making this nomination unnecessary
- In summary this underlines the importance of making articles visible by adding cats and by adding articles to wiki projects to allow swifter collaboration.Edaham (talk) 11:07, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-ish, but I'm sympathetic with the nomination. I think this is too significant to brush under the carpet but at least the article should be renamed to be about the event, not the person. It is the event really that matters, not any individual and ten years (almost) is a long time (even my standards) to wait for a verdict. The sources are good and the article is OK too though it needs to have a few slight suggestions of individual guilt removed. So, actually, I'll go with keep in the end. The article set me thinking rather a lot so I'm glad to have read it whatever happens in the real world, and here. Thincat (talk) 19:13, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the direction of my vote, I'm mostly in agreement with your summary. There's 100 percent change that this case will have lasting impact and notable effects. I just hope that editors will keep a level head with regard to policy when writing it. The fact that in rare cases our policies might seem to be (temporarily) detracting from an accusation against a particularly unsavory character, isn't a reason not to keep them in mind. This article is practically a text book example of a debatable and unusual case in this respect - and was as thought provoking to evaluate from a policy point of view as it was to read about. Edaham (talk) 23:08, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As I explained above the events are highly significant within the Jewish community, and has mobilised numerous politicians including 2 Prime Ministers. The events are being played out at the moment. However if the decision is to change the name, I would suggest something along the lines of Malka Leifer Sex Abuse Affair/Scandal, since the events are so closely tied to Leifer herself, and known that way in the community. smellytap (talk) 10:58, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (note: article creator): Seems too soon to nominate for deletion, but I acknowledge there are editors who are more familiar with aviation-related article standards than me. I created this article because I saw several other articles at Template:Aviation accidents and incidents in 2017 about accidents with fewer fatalities, and assumed this event was also notable. Seems there should be more other articles nominated for deletion, if this one get deleted... or I am not understanding eligibility criteria for articles about aviation incidents. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 18:47, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fatal aviation accidents have standalone articles, as a rule, when: 1. procedures or regulations were altered as a result of the crash; 2. a Wikinotable (bluelinked) person was killed; or 3. it gains unusual WP:PERSISTENCE in media; these are especially important when a small aircraft (<12,500 pounds (5,700 kg) gros weight) is involved. None of those apply here. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:15, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Bushranger:, what is the source of this "rule", or is it just an opinion? Thanks, WWGB (talk) 23:43, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

it's very long-standing consensus as partially codified in WP:AIRCRASH, which is based on the Federal Aviation Administration's certification requirements for aircraft (12,500lb is the cutoff point between "small" i.e. GA and "large" i.e. airliner aircraft). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 02:25, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No if we listed every fatal aviation accident we would have loads listed every day, which is why we only include those that are noteworthy for some reason (as measured by years of consensus) for example they involve somebody notable. In my opinion the tipping point is if this was a scheduled service or just a charter. If it was a chartered flight then it is not noteworthy which looks like the case here but just waiting for more info before I vote one way or another.

The above editors are correct, the fact that it is newsworthy does not give it encyclopedic notability.

Merge to Nature Air. Wikipedia is not the news and not a memorial. A tragic crash, but small aircraft crash rather more regularly than certified airliners do; there is not enough to indicate that this crash is any different than your "standard" small-aircraft crash. Now, that said, it almost certainly should be mentioned in an "Accidents and incidents" section of the article of the airline in question, Nature Air, but it doesn't clear the bar, as things are, for a standalone article, regardless of other stuff. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:15, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Airline crashes with 12 deaths most certainly do not "happen every day worldwide". This was the fourth-deadliest air crash of 2017. Too soon to determine lasting effects on the industry. WP:RAPID. WWGB (talk) 22:47, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RAPID does not say that all newly-created articles should be kept. It suggests alternatives such as moving the page to draftspace, which may be more appropriate here until evidence of lasting notability is established. Alternatively the content could be merged into Nature Air for the time being. Either are acceptable outcomes under WP:RAPID for a light aircraft accident, which is typically regarded as WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. A crash resulting in loss of 12 lives is tragic, but like many car or bus accidents with similar loss of life, tragedy doesn't bestow encyclopedic notability on its own. Shelbystripes (talk) 17:11, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as WWGB mentions above this incident was one of the top five deadliest incidents of 2017. Also one of the victims who perished in the crash was related to former Costa Riccan president Laura Chinchilla. The WP:NOTNEWS argument is not appropriate now as with the incident only being hours old it is natural that most of the coverage will be news related. There is plenty of coverage that has not yet been included in the article. Inter&anthro (talk) 22:59, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:RUNOFTHEMILL. Light aircraft accidents are not inherently notable. Wikipedia does not exist to create articles now and wait to see if notability exists later, that flips the notability standard on its head. The page barely exists anyway, so there's little harm from deletion; if it turns out notability is WP:LASTING, page could easily be re-created later once notability is established.

What we have here is a failed attempt to make a news story an encyclopedic entry without any knowledge of in-depth analysis, persistence, or lasting significance. Editors will, inevitably, fall back to their master key: WP:RAPID; however, RAPID works both ways and drawing it in a discussion does not put an automatic postponement on notability.

Strong Keep A charter plane carrying tourists with more than 10 people, all of them were killed. One of them was the cousin of Costa Rica's former president Laura Chinchilla. It is the deadliest plane crash in Costa Rica in decades and it currently stands as the second deadliest in a country where aviation accident is pretty rare. That is not common, in contrast with year 2017 as the safest year in aviation history. Media widely reported this, especially the Spanish. Take some time okay? And we'll see more improvements.

@PaPa PaPaRoony: you should not make page moves in middle of AFD. Raymond3023 (talk) 10:27, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As per Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, notability is not inherited. The cousin of a former president is not a notable person. Fatal accidents involving light aircraft are very common globally. - Ahunt (talk) 19:03, 6 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ahunt: Yes light aircraft crashes are common "globally". I do realize that this is also a chartered private flight, but as per my arguments above (safest year yet this stands as the second deadliest in a country where aviation accident is rare, based on ASN, flighglobal and news websites), I think it deserves a stand alone article. PaPa PaPaRoony (talk) 02:32, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: 2017 was a safe year for jet airline aircraft flying, not light aircraft flying. You are convoluting the two. In my country (Canada) we have fatal light aircraft accidents on average almost every week. In the US, where they have more population and more aircraft, they have fatal light plane accidents on average every day. In a country like Costa Rica, where they have few light aircraft, it happens less often. Antarctica has few light aircraft and few accidents as a result too, but that doesn't mean that every light aircraft crash in Costa Rica is notable. It is quite possible that car accidents are not that common in Costa Rica, but we still don't have a Wikipedia article each one of on them. Why? Because they aren't notable. Most light aircraft accidents result in no changes, no lasting effects beyond the deaths involved, just as most car accidents don't. This accident, while tragic for the deaths involved, seems to be that same case, human error and no lasting effects. Our policy WP:NOTNEWSPAPER exactly addresses why we don't have articles like this and it is a policy, not a guideline. It says "most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion". - Ahunt (talk) 14:01, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment But for a country where aircraft accidents rarely occur, even light aircraft crashes, especially with the high number of fatalities, this is notable. Costa Rica rarely sees an event that causes significant number of fatalities. As this route is popular among tourists, this could have affected their tourism industry (U.S media have warned their readers about the dangers of private chartered flights). This accident highlights the danger of privately chartered passenger flights. In addition, most light aircraft crashes are "training flights". This isn't. It's a flight where the passengers pay for the flight. PaPa PaPaRoony (talk) 03:39, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"for a country"? Notability is equal for all countries. Though you have indicated that subject may pass WP:GNG, that's why I have voted for merge. Raymond3023 (talk) 06:20, 8 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: That approach actually would lead us into a situation where we would not have articles on light aircraft crashes in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, etc because they are commonplace there and not notable, but would have articles on light aircraft accidents in places like Costa Rica, Cuba, Andorra, Lichtenstein, the Vatican, etc, because they have few light aircraft and thus are less common there.

Comment: No it wasn't. You are confusing news reports. There were no fatalities among passenger jet aircraft airlines globally in 2017. There were many non-jet commercial passenger air carrier fatalities, though. The Cessna 208 is not a jet, it is a turboprop. This was just one of the non-jet commercial aircraft fatal crashes.

Keep: WP:AIRCRASH should not be cited here Because this is an essay and not policy and also because it should not be applied to stand-alone accident articles. What I see is this article meets WP:GNG, WP:EVENT and WP:NOTNEWS.

Comment - the article has been significantly expanded since it as proposed for deletion (does WP:HEY apply?) and there is far more coverage of the event now that is both more numerous and more indebth.

But, shouldn't we be focused on secondary press coverage and not the type of flight? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:29, 12 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage is only one factor we have a shed full of precedent about what accidents are noteworthy for a stand-alone article, you have to remember that aircraft crashes are fairly regularly so they have pass a threshold, did they kill somebody important, did they hit something important, did it change the rules regarding aviation operation or maintenance, you also get civil and military (military accidents are far more common and less likely to be noteworthy) and the size of the aircraft, when you get down to what in the air transport world is a small aircraft then being scheduled or a private flight makes a difference. Cant see the relevance of press coverage, they all report the same news feeds to fill up space, coverage is probably the same as a bus crash which are rarely of note.

Delete At best an entry in Nature Air's accidents and incidents section despite the AOC suspension--Petebutt (talk) 19:13, 13 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Peruvian Airlines Flight 112 Boeing 737 Landing gear collapse & aircraft caught fire injured 39 passengers the article is kept. A light transport aircraft with 12 people killed is up for deletion? I am sorry but this seems unfear in my eyes but it all on points of view. I vote keep for some of the same reasons at stated above. One fatel crash that could lead to probable cause & to any safety recommendations involving the airline or aircraft type. Two its the second deadlist accident in the country. Three 2017 was safest for Commercial aviation history making accidents like this even more rare. Four with that note it seems that light aircraft crashes with lots of people killed are going to be more common place as a wiki article jutst look at this year with 2017 Essendon Airport Beechcraft King Air crash, 2017 Sydney Seaplanes crash, Swan Aviation Sikorsky S-76 crash. Unless we get accident like that of Turkish Airlines Flight 6491 or West Wind Aviation Flight 280 fatal crashes like Nature Air are still going to happen unless changes are made to safety with aircraft of this size then Commercial aircraft. Making this accident with 12 killed on a aircraft which can seat 13 passengers & 2 pilots more notable to me. So I vote Keep. Cloverfield2Y (talk) 00.12, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. AfD is not based on "fairness" or on other articles existing (or not). While this does now appear notable, please argue such based on policy, not "fairness". (Also see above re: how accidents with 737-size aircraft are by consensus held to a different standard than lightplane accidents such as Caravans.) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:54, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE Article states "The crash highlighted the danger of privately chartered tourist passenger flights...". Where is it established that privately chartered tourist passenger flights are dangerous? Statistically it still holds true that the most dangerous part of any flight is the drive to the airport. Nature Air appears to have a good safety record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.132.131.122 (talk) 01:20, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep [81], [82], [83], [84]. Appears to have sufficient coverage in mainstream media press to meet GNG, I don't see anything that says this has been cancelled. I'd suggest revisiting this if it doesn't show up on air in another six months, but if it does, what exactly is the point of deleting and recreating this? Jclemens (talk) 18:53, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If that's your concern, it could (and should) be moved to draftspace. It could be improved and restored from there if the TV show actually materializes. That's my !vote, anyway, but Wikipedia does not keep articles merely because they might become notable later. Shelbystripes (talk) 07:16, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's notable now, and meets WP:TVSHOW. I wish people wouldn't waste AfD on cases like this – if a TV series has been greenlit to series by a TV network, and has a semi-definite premiere date, but has not yet premiered, it should not be AfD'ed. Please save that for articles about TV pilots that were NOT greenlit to series... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:18, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The show is a known commodity, people will want to find information about it. Makes no sense to remove this or send it to draftspace.

~~Delete~~Redirect - I agree, I, too, don't find enough sources that suggest the individual could be the subject of a NPOV, NOR, V article. A redirect from Ajadbe to Maharana Pratap is possible, but it isn't clear to me that Ajadbe is a Mononymous person. I would suggest such a redirect should be from Maharani Ajabde (which currently redirects to this page) and Ajadbe simply be deleted.

Duplicate vote struck: everybody gets one, Indeskys. ;) A Train^talk 16:13, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indeskys: you're right that the article subject produced a charted single. When I first assessed the AfD, I clicked the BMI link and it threw up an error. After your comment, I searched the BMI database myself and found van Wattum listed as a producer on "Bang My Head". So you're right, van Wattum produced a single that charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and meets WP:MUSICBIO criterion 2. I've changed my position above accordingly.

As to the sourcing: this is a bio of a living person, which is subject to stricter sourcing standards than other kinds of WP articles. This article would need to have some reliable prose sources like a prominent music magazine or a newspaper article discussing van Wattum -- at the moment it's just catalog mentions. Some sources to back up the first half of the biography section would be ideal, at the moment we're making unbased assertions about the life of a living person, which does not fly per WP:BLP. A Train^talk 16:25, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Guidelines for musicians met. All sources for discography and awards are legitimately soured from AllMusic ^[3]. Bio needs some more sources but hardly a reason to delete the whole article. Here is an added source for the BUMA award he won for the Gold single, Bang My Head, which he worked on with David Guetta. ^[4] Here is also a photo of Marcus Van Wattum holding his BUMA Award. ^[5] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nbpdigital (talk • contribs) 08:30, 3 January 2018 (UTC) — Nbpdigital (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Marcuscw (talk • contribs). – Struck above comment from blocked sock per WP:SOCKSTRIKE.

Subject co-wrote the charting and certified David Guetta song "Bang My Head" that won a Buma Award [nl]; one could argue that's a pass of WP:MUSICBIO #2 and #3, but we lack secondary sources that talk about Van Wattum having been part of the winning writers team, and MUSICBIO is a possibility of being notable, not a sure pass. We lack any reliable, secondary sources that talks about Van Wattum in detail, so we are not yet passed the threshold of the basic notability guideline for people. On a side note I have filed an SPI case at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Marcuscw where subject admits to meatpuppetry. Sam Sailor 11:14, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Not only did Bang My Head chart and win an award, his other productions for Britney Spears and Sekai No Owari also charted, as can be seen in their respectable Wikipedia articles which this article links to. MUSICBIO explicitly asks for 1 of the guidelines to be met so I don't know how you can say "Not a sure pass"...Indeskys (talk) — Indeskys (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of Marcuscw (talk • contribs). – Struck above comment from blocked sock per WP:SOCKSTRIKE.

Redirect to Yalwa. Agree with the nominator. I've noticed many sources, but none reliable enough to support GNG. This is a platform launched by the Yalwa company,[101] and it would be sensible to add a line or two about Askalo in Yalwa.

Week Keep - Not sure I saw where the article mentioned above is, I don't really have an issue with the article, per se, it does need referencing, and a style change. Budget video games (and video game series) seems to me to be a notable topic. Lee Vilenski(talk) 11:19, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Budget video game ranges are part of a wider concept of low price, discount or budget product ranges: value brand in groceries (that's a redirect to a section of generic brand), diffusion line in fashion, etc; there's also the article Value brands in the United Kingdom. At least one budget video game range has its own article: Essentials (PlayStation). I'm a little surprised that there doesn't seem to be a more general article this could be merged/redirected to - and Google isn't helpful looking for sources, although I'm sure business/trade press will cover it to some extent. I'd certainly suggest a better search for sources and considering how to save, merge, or redirect. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:40, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Despite my delete !vote, below, I would have no objection to turning this into a list. Eliminate all the unsourced WP:OR at the beginning and just leave the list of game titles.

Delete. Unsourced = fails WP:V = mandatory deletion. Sandstein 21:24, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect I'm unsure about the validity of the comment directly above, since WP:NOREFS states that an article lacking references is not sufficient ground for deletion - it must be proven that there exists no such reference (a noticeably harder task than simply pointing at a policy). That means that lack of source does not imply mandatory deletion. It does make it harder to judge so. However, the parent subject (video games) certainly is notable and I think it would be more logical to merge this with it than to keep it separate, especially as notability seems to be hard to establish individually, and keeping with precedent for other similar sub-topics, as pointed out by Colapeninsula. The other delete comment is clearly WP:PERNOM and the nominator's statement can also be interpreted as being open to a merge with a larger article ("I can see an article called Pricing and video games") but since that article does not exist yet, most logical would be to merge with the next most appropriate article, which could one of the suggestions of the below comment. 198.84.253.202 (talk) 15:11, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to a new section Video game#Value pricing, in the classifications section. Activision had a group called Value Publishing that merged with Head Games and is now defunct, but they never called the category budget range. This is a dictionary term, but the idea of cheaper games does exist. Not enough for a stand alone article. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 05:26, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect, as per timtempleton. It's interesting that these products are often released under a label that's a subset of a larger, more well-known company, with a markedly different intended audience. The section should have a hatnote to List of budget video game labels, new article that Zxcvbnm suggests. = paul2520 (talk) 15:00, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as unsourced WP:OR. I wouldn't be opposed to keeping this if there was sourcing (and given a better name, such as Pricing and video games suggested in the nom), but as it stands, there's so many statements that fail WP:V, I don't see how keeping it makes any sense. I've marked up the article where citations are needed. The result is an ugly citation-needed-bomb-run, but that's because we really do need sources for all these statements. Merging this into some other article doesn't eliminate the need for sources; merging solves WP:N, the problem we have here is WP:V. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:10, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per reasons outlined above, and during the first time this was up for deletion.

Delete A wolf-in-sheeps-clothing as it were, with regards to the sourcing. It gives all the appearance of a notable topic, but there's no there there. A careful analysis of sources indicates that almost NONE of these are reliable. There's just not anything resembling a sufficiently reliable source or where one may exist, sufficiently in-depth coverage in that source.

(edit conflict) weak delete the sourcing used doesnt grab me and say this is a notable subject, though they do have me looking optimistically for more. The two google news hits; Snow White Zombie Apocalypse was right on the cusp with its publishing by Scout comics being even more optimistic yet its nowhere enough alone and 12 months on from the announcement theres been nothing else. The only other google news source is in its own words "...celebrating Off-Off-Broadway." and is behind a paywall if I could have read that source it may have tipped me the other way but alas given the other issues highlighted in this discussion and the sources self description I couldnt AGF {WP:GNG]] without details. Overall its probably a case of too soon and not now maybe in the future. My comment on the other issues not associated with the article, yes I saw this mentioned on another web site but I made my own assessment closing admin can give this comment what ever weight they feel. Looking through the discussion so far I think its going to be no-consensus and really should follow the recent US east coast lead and close due to Snow. That said it should also be revisited reasonably soon when it can assessed against the communities standards without the background noise. Gnan garra 05:12, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

IMO it shouldn't close no consensus because a lot of canvassed people came in to vote Keep.

Here is what I see; some of the plays that have won awards or been shortlisted for those awards, several of them are obtained due to open socilitation. The 2010 Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference honor, that takes plays by open submission, along with the Humana Festival of New American Plays, Estrogenius (2012 rules in place though a search through the website shows submissions are required) and the James Rodgers Contest at the University of Kentucky. From what I could tell about the 2014 best monologue, the publisher does ask for submissions but the criteria seems vague. To me, for a lot of the plays that won awards seemed to be for happenstance. If you do not submit, you will not be considered and some of these events will attract (the James Rodgers Contest at the University of Kentucky is already over, after reading the CV of HERMAN DANIEL FARRELL III Associate Professor of Theatre University of Kentucky] , who was a judge of the contest. I feel like a lot of the attention with playwriting was self driven and, outside those very small festivals, does not have the national outreach. Tha arrests by NYPD during Ouccpy do not stand out, unless it was a specific arrest he was in that either created or challenged current statutes (e.g. the mask rule in public). Yet, what I feel is that his activism during the Ouccpy movement, including spending time with those who have been jailed for online activism, does show some, but not much, merit. I see it a lot as a self promoted piece where notability is tied to self-submission contests for playwriting or things caught on youtube by random people or connections with those who are notable in their own right. So, what I would recommend would be delete. If there was a small list or articles about minor players in the Ouccpy movement, a merge would be fine but I just do not have anything to suggest to move anything to.

The Patriot - News; Harrisburg, Pa. [Harrisburg, Pa]02 June 2013: T.26. Unfortunately only the title, no link to article itself. It is virtually inconceivable that a notable contemporary author or playwright or activist would fail to get valid, full text hits on a proquest search. Nothing on HighBeam either. Where are the WP:RS? E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:17, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose you could contact the publications themselves. Issue and page is listed in the sources as: "Way Off Broadway" Outside Magazine. July 2013. pg 38" Source guidelines specify that print source archives don't have to be listed online:

"It is convenient, but by no means necessary, for the archived copy to be accessible via the Internet."^[4]

As for RS, sources don't have to appear in particular searches, but just by clicking "News" above we get two^[5] and "Books"^[6] we get even more.

When I googled the plays mentioned I got like, five separate in-depth reviews^[7]^[8]^[9]. I don't think there's any question if this guy is a playwright or not, or if his work was produced in NYC. Theatres that produced him like The Flea Theater^[10] are notable on their own. Plus there's this, which I think you could hang an article on just by itself^[11].

I frequently attend performances at The Flea Theater, a small house where I sometimes do see interesting work by promising but non- or not-yet-notable playwrights. Advocates of keeping this article do not help their case by oversourcing. Moreover, where sourcing is so paltry, it is, in fact, important to have some means of verifying that the sources cited to relatively significant publications such as Outside (magazine) and Backpacker (magazine) are WP:INDEPTH and meet WP:SIGCOV. I want to WP:AGF, but with an overstuffed article that has been subject ot CANVASSING, I feel a need to operate in Trust-But-Verify mode.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:00, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Point The only verifiable canvassing has been canvassing of "Delete" votes (check out the first three who all seem to know each other), NOT keep votes. If the article is oversourced maybe we should clean it up, but I don't see oversourcing as a problem in and of itself. It just means people put in alot of effort.

Also question is there any criteria for publication significance? As far as I'm aware Secondary sources don't need to be "significant" they just need to be reliable. I think 'Trust-but-verify" is fine. I'd just be very surprised to see this much smoke and no fire. Joseph dejacque (talk) 00:09, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Joseph dejacque, I do wish you'd point to the "smoke" you are seeing. Spamming this discussion with reviews by non-notable bloggers posting on non-notable group blogs such as http://www.theasy.com and www.womanaroundtown.com is not the same as establishing notability. In addition to these, your list of 9 footnotes includes a newsarama "article" that is a mere announcement by a publisher of a list of comic books, including one by Lengel - not a source for notability. It includes an alumni mag article - not a source that can support notability. The SOLE book that you link to is a book is an inclusion of an essay by Lengel in a collected "Best of" by a very minor publisher, not much in the way of support for notability. The only semi-solid, verifiable source is your footnote #5 this NYThearter.com article [104], and it's not sufficient. To keep this or any article, we need multiple, reliable, verifiable secondary sources of WP:SIGCOV.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:28, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I'm struggling to find even a handful of sources that would ever be accepted for a company article, an area where I have more experience. The few actual articles about him that are here are niche publications - there's very little mainstream coverage to support notability. I googled him with the NY Times and Daily News and nothing comes up about his work. Fails WP:GNG. With the number of votes and past deletion history, hopefully the closing admin will not just do a vote count and drop a no consensus but instead will also look at the policies used to defend or dismiss the article. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 01:38, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Question I'm not spamming anything. I'm simply asking where it says that for a source to be reliable it must be something like the NYTimes? While a publication like that certainly would be reliable There's no guidelines about how ONLY those publications are reliable. Criteria for reliable is:

"Reliable" means sources need editorial integrity to allow verifiable evaluation of notability, per the reliable source guideline. **Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language**. Availability of secondary sources covering the subject is a good test for notability."^[12]

Similarly, criteria for notability is:

"For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice"[1] or "note"[2] – that is, "remarkable"[2] or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"[1] within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. "Notable" in the sense of being "famous" or "popular" – although not irrelevant – is secondary."^[13] The Theatre is Easy source, for instance, employs an editorial staff of at least three^[14]. "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." It easily hits all three of those, as do several others.

Subject has hiked the entire Appalachian Trail, written the first play about it and participated with distinction in OWS among other things. Subject may not be famous enough to have a NYT article, but as you see above fame and notability are not the same thing Joseph dejacque (talk) 03:43, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Besides the Wikipedia policy requiring reliable coverage in independent sources, there's also a bit of instinct and experience in play here. I used the Times and Daily News as examples of what would be considered good sources, where you'd expect a truly notable local to appear, but those aren't only ones we could use. (Daily News has a lower notability bar of what they cover, so perhaps that's a better example for this AfD discussion.) As an avid consumer of media, and having written several articles myself, I have a good sense of what publications are suitable for sourcing. It's not always the case, but good sources usually have their own articles. Despite the sheer volume of references here, as mentioned before, a closer look shows they aren't very strong. The last point you make deserves some discussion - being the first to hike the Appalachian Trail and to write a play about it. Let's look at those items. According to this, 18,366 people have walked the whole trail [[105]]. At the American Theater of Actors, where the play was produced (and incidentally doesn't have a Wikipedia article), this says there have been 800 plays produced there. [[106]] And that's just one Off-Broadway theater. So where I'm going with this is that there can be a variety of firsts when you mix categories together, but that in itself doesn't make them notable. The deciding factor for me is the coverage the accomplishment gets. It's just not here for this. TimTempleton ^(talk) ^(cont) 04:58, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, this was not an Off-Broadway production, it was some sort of indie production. Many events and artistic productions are significant to the participants.

Delete - As the nominations suggests, this isn't the sort of information that belongs in the game article itself, let along as a split-off stand-alone article. The fact that official tournaments exist is really the only encyclopedic thing to mention at the parent article. Those looking for specific (non-notable) tournaments should be using Google ~~or an esports website~~ or something. Sergecross73 msg me 13:39, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment revised. I thought the list of people and tournaments alluded to esports. It doesn't. Its just an in-game list of tennis players. Which is equally inappropriate for Wikipedia as a stand-alone article or subsection in an article, per WP:GAMECRUFT. Sergecross73 msg me 15:00, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please note this is the article creator. thomediter, please note that this content will likely be removed from a stand-alone list or the AO Tennis article.

Edit Withdrawing !vote ~~Speedy Keep~~Keep In addition to a company profile story in the Orange County Register [108] and a dedicated article on it in a trade pub - Recycling Today - which is RS for its specific industry [109], BEFORE shows it has also been the subject of dedicated articles in other RS like The Decatur Daily [110], Phoenix New Times [111], and Santa Maria Times [112], etc., etc. There's also this dedicated article about it (under its former name of Adams Metals) in the Los Angeles Times [113] from 1991. A check on newspapers.com also finds articles back to the 1980s in mainstream newspapers. When combined with the Bloomberg listing (which doesn't help GNG but contributes to CORPDEPTH) and the more incidental mentions in RS, this should be fine (albeit needing improvement, including introduction of some of the "rougher" history like the toxic waste enforcement action in '91). ~~EDIT: Updating to Speedy Keep post-improvements.~~ Chetsford (talk) 12:42, 11 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- You haven't provided an analysis of sourcing, also, of course Chetsford is going to defend this work: he was the AfC reviewer who made a horrible accept of spam into mainspace, and he's now trying to defend that poor acceptance. He isn't an independent editor anymore, and his views should be weighted roughly the same as we would an article creator defending their own non-notable puff piece. There hasn't been a single policy-based or sourcing based argument presented for why we should keep this article. I also think that Drewmutt should be thanked for his thankless work patrolling recently accepted AfC drafts. He's been catching a lot of low-quality acceptances of late, and of course the people who made those poor judgement calls are going to defend them: it's natural and understandable, but it does not equate to a neutral editor giving their view on the topic. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:08, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

comment I totally endorse everything you have said here TonyBallioni. I would have stated the exact thing either here, or at the afc talk, but the last time I expressed some concerns about this same editor you are referring to here, I, as the messenger got killed. The discussion still sits in a closed blue archive box on the afc talk page. Lacypaperclip (talk) 15:27, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My comment wasn't intended as an attack on their general reviewing: I'm not familiar with it, and we all make mistakes (I've made bigger mistakes in good faith). My point is that we typically look at authors of spam articles in AfD and count weight their opinions less: they can't provide an objective look at their own work, but we take into account their views on why the article meets policy, and others can be informed by it. My point is that AfC reviewers have a bias to protect articles they accept that is probably about equal to an article author: no one likes admitting they were wrong. Something I've noticed at most AfDs of AfC articles is that the reviewer of course is going to defend the article they accepted, and this somewhat defeats the point of an AfD, which is to provide neutral community review of articles. I think taking into account these biases is an important part in determining consensus, and not pointing out that they exist makes it so that AfC articles have an artificially high AfD survival rate compared to the equivalent article created directly in mainspace. If this had been just a regular new pages feed article, I suspect everyone here would be !voting to delete it even if it had been improved. We need to keep in mind the biases that our processes cause, and do our best to treat articles the same regardless of their method of creation. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:40, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TonyBallioni I assure you it was not my intention to simply defend this for the sake of defending it. Second, I would like to respectfully dispute your characterization of this as a "horrible" acceptance by me. After accepting it I, first, immediately (in less than 60 seconds of acceptance) placed several templates on the page and, second (as soon as I was able to thereafter), rewrote the entire article from scratch. I did not just "fire and forget" its approval, nor would I ever approve a borderline article I was not willing to personally commit the energy to immediately fixing. I did, and do, genuinely believe it meets NCORP for both CORPDEPTH and breadth of sources based on the fact it has received non-incidental coverage spanning a period of several decades. Having said all that, since you've raised a concern that I am not neutral in this discussion I have withdrawn my !vote completely out of a preponderance of caution. We're often not good judges of our own neutrality so if I said or did something that indicated my judgment was impaired then I sincerely apologize. Chetsford (talk) 16:41, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chetsford, of course you weren't doing anything wrong here and were acting in good faith. This has been something I had been thinking about for a while in regards to the intersection of AfC and AfD, and you just happened to be unfortunate enough to be the first reviewer I raised the issue with. People are free to comment on things they are involved in, but closers typically take the involvement into account. My note here was just to point out some thoughts I had been having re: neutrality and AfC, so the closer could consider it. I disagree with you substantively as well: this falls below our normal NCORP standards as the audience is pretty limited and the sourcing is pretty local or trivial, and some of it is recycled press. That's a good faith disagreement, though. As I said above, not a comment on your reviewing in general as much as a comment on how it is difficult to get a review of the AfC process because of these unconscious biases.

Delete I am not convinced that there is notability here. The article still looks promotional to me. The only claim of significance is that the biz is the biggest in socal? So what? Even that claim looks to be in dispute. Fails GNG plus notability hasn't been established. Bythebooklibrary (talk) 01:59, 14 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete the sourcing is either minor mentions or local in nature (yes, the LA Times local coverage is local coverage just like any other paper's. The same would go for the NYT or WaPo, and LAT isn't on their level in terms of prestige.) The reduced promotionalism also doesn't matter: the article was created with the intent of promoting the company. Having a page on Wikipedia, even if neutral, is a form of advertising as we are the fifth largest website in the world and the first Google search result for everything. Wikipedia articles about a company or organization are not an extension of their website or other social media marketing efforts.[...] those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so. Our policy has no tolerance for advertising, and our definition of it is not solely limited to tone (it is for G11, but an XfD can delete for promo beyond just tone, see WP:DEL14, WP:NOTSPAM, and WP:WHATISTOBEDONE.)
For a borderline notable company, where inclusion on Wikipedia would be the biggest coverage they have ever received, and where the article was created in a clear attempt to promote, the answer under policy is obvious: we delete it. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:02, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

- Boston is also one of 200+ television markets in the country, which means being a "fixture" of Boston TV news means nothing elsewhere. That speaks nothing to notability.

- That claim originated from a station Price once worked in, and appears to be repeated by Towleroad. In any case, Towleroad is not a reliable source, IMO, because it does not report objectively. I don't think a PR stunt claim by a station is a ticket to notability. Kiteinthewind ^{Leave a message!} 20:19, 27 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Liberty County Toll Road Authority[edit]

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

Liberty County doesn't have any toll roads, so this is a governing body with nothing to govern. I can't find any coverage to indicate that it's notable despite that; aside from the source in the article, all I could find was this article that said the county hasn't reappointed the original members or appointed new ones because the Authority doesn't actually do anything. If Liberty County ever gets any toll roads for the Authority to govern, we can consider recreating this, but so far it's not actually notable.

Delete. An author's notability cannot be supported by his books' own catalogue profiles on the website of the company that published them, which is the only kind of sourcing present here at all — his notability has to be supported by reliable source coverage about him and the books in media, such as book reviews in the Vancouver Sun or The Globe and Mail or Quill & Quire. But I can't find any reliable source coverage, nor can I find any evidence that he has the kind of notability claim (e.g. getting a Giller or Governor-General's Award nomination) that would be significant enough to entitle him to a presumption of notability pending better sources. And the article itself has some advertorial undertones, reading very much like the kind of thing one might expect to see at the top of his GoodReads profile. Neither the content nor the sourcing present here passes our notability standards for authors or musicians or air traffic controllers or social studies teachers.

Comment: Just having only a single source is not a good thing, but it's also not necessarily a reason for deletion. What's going to determine whether this article is kept is going to be probably whether the mall is considered Wikipedia notable enough per WP:CORP. Right now, a source citing the sale of a local mall is probably not enough to establish notability. A Google search does find things such as this, this and this as well as other articles, etc. but I'm not sure if that's enough per WP:CORPDEPTH or it it's still too WP:AUD. It probably would be a good idea to post a Template:Please see at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Shopping Centers to see if editors used to working on this genre of article can provide any feedback. -- Marchjuly (talk) 03:13, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not an appropriate rationale for deletion (see WP:BEFORE).

SafeLogic[edit]

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

Obvious commissioned work excluded from Wikipedia by WP:NOTSPAM. In addition to failing that policy which is equal to the general notability guideline, it also fails the sourcing criteria: it has been reference bombed, but the sources are either non-RS (Forbes contributors are bloggers), are not about the specific company, are passing coverage, or are non-independent sourcing excluded by WP:SPIP and WP:ORGIND. WP:BEFORE search just shows more of the same. This should be deleted for failing both points of WP:N: it is outside of our scope as it is an advertisement, and it lacks the sourcing needed to demonstrate importance.

Hello, I actually work at SafeLogic. This was not a commissioned page, but we were certainly flattered by its creation. We support the Wikipedia guidelines fully, but we're puzzled at why this page would be flagged and not others (including smaller, less notable companies/products in the same industry). The fact that the page is about a company shouldn't inherently make it an advertisement... We'd be happy to submit additional information/references/etc for sourcing, but we have respectfully stayed on the sidelines. No, we don't have as long and as illustrious history as Apple or Samsung, but in the encryption and certification world, we're kind of a big deal, so while we encourage edits, deletion would be foolhardy. 2600:1700:9980:A780:207F:B028:C8C2:F95F (talk) 20:25, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, but there is simply no way this article was created by a brand new editor with no connection to you. TonyBallioni (talk) 20:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't know the editor or their history, so we're in the same boat - we can only speculate. I also don't know you or your history. As far as the actual content of the entry, I spent some time reviewing pages of other companies in our niche and other related technologies, and it seems (to a non-editor) like ours is comparable in content and references. That said, we certainly welcome edits to the page. I would also invite you to do some research on SafeLogic, our technology, and our standing in the industry. As I mentioned above, we've been around a while and are notable within our community. 2600:1700:9980:A780:207F:B028:C8C2:F95F (talk) 21:34, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have. Your company fails our inclusion standards based on sourcing, as noted above, and very likely paid for this article as spam to promote yourselves. That other competitors that are not as important as you are on Wikipedia suggests that we should be deleting them as well, not that we should keep you. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:37, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
      - If the article was paid, don't you think there would be more sources cited, instead of not enough? You're suggesting that pages of notable companies and products be deleted instead of revised and expanded. I don't think that's in the spirit of Wikipedia, and frankly, it doesn't seem like you have enough knowledge in this industry sector to be making those judgment calls and contradicting what other editors have already contributed. 2600:1700:9980:A780:207F:B028:C8C2:F95F (talk) 21:52, 15 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  - They don't cover the company in any depth. Rentier (talk) 00:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    - Certainly objectively exceeds WP:CORPDEPTH definition of trivial coverage, hence multiple references establish notability even without subjectively deep coverage.

Delete - To me its more of a notability issue than a spam issue. I would gladly do a quick cleanup of the page, but the problem is there is nothing in-depth that I can use to cite on the page.
