Insufficient proof of notability; one quote in one article does not make one notable ElKevbo (talk) 00:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The angle for notability would be through the first recorded international cyberbattle, but there's no sources to back that up. In the absence of that, there are no clear claims of notability backed up by reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 01:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of registered political parties in Spain[edit]
AfDs for this article:
- List of registered political parties in Spain (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
Is a list of mostly non-notable data, provides little context or other usable information. Mbisanz (talk) 23:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it does provide important information, which would be lost if deleted. Listing is not identical to the one of the ministry, it is a wikified list with english translations and wikilinks. Also, the time aspect of registrations is highly relevant, considering that these trends reflect various phases in Spain's transition to democracy. --Soman (talk) 00:36, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Since the page is very large, would you be opposed to splitting it into individual years or groups of years? One of my concerns is that with so many fields of data, users may have a hard time udnerstanding it all. Mbisanz (talk) 00:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I do understand the problem of kilobytes. However, I would suggest having a look at User:Soman/temp, where all tables have been fused and sortable by date, name, province, etc.. --Soman (talk) 13:39, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I still have a problem listing all of these parties that ran in 1 election or maybe never ran. It just seems like WP:NOT#DIR and that this is a directory of ALL Spanish parties, not just the notable or active ones. Sorting to me doesn't really improve it, since then it could not be split into decade specific periods. That and I don't see how sorting by Party Name or City of Founding would result in that much more usability. Mbisanz (talk) 22:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I think that splitting it into decades would be a good idea, and perhaps the tabular information needs to be revised. There's always room for improvement in displaying data. It is important information showing the order in which parties were registered. I'm not sure that the city AND the province have to be included (one would work as well as both), nor a translation of the party name. Finally, the date can be shortened (all the parties in the 1980 table, for instance were registered on 1980-xx-xx). That would free up space for other info. Mandsford (talk) 02:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- keep and improve. On its face, this is useful and notable information, involving as it does the political parties of a country. Hmains (talk) 04:21, 25 November 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Keep. Perhaps it could use some tidying in its current form, but why should Wikipedia be without a list of Spanish political parties? AfD isn't cleanup. Bryan Derksen (talk) 07:46, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, I don't see how this data fails WP:N. With all the redlinks and the extra info it meets WP:LIST criteria 1 and 3. Punkmorten (talk) 09:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Wikipedia already has a separate article titled List of political parties in Spain which focuses on the parties that actually contest elections and are notable, as opposed to including any party which ever registered in the country. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep an informative and appropriate list. RMHED (talk) 19:58, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as per everyone but the nominator. Is it Snowing yet? Edward321 (talk) 15:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Metropolitan90, or Merge with List of political parties in Spain. It sometimes happens that two lists are created which essentially cover the same material. If people feel that the list under discussion has some features which could be incorporated into List of political parties in Spain, such as putting in the dates of registration, then I'm sure that could be done. Otherwise I see no value having a duplicate list, other than that this one contains more parties which fail WP:N - bear in mind from WP:Bio: "Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability." and that a political party is not by default notable (see Church of the Militant Elvis Party.

London Buses route E9[edit]
- London Buses route E9 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
It does not assert the notability of the subject; I really don't think that bus routes are particularly notable. Neranei (talk) 23:50, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Notability is not a criteria for deletion; notability is asserted as part of a larger whole, in this case the bus network operated by Transport for London. This article, along with hundreds of others, constitutes an effective descriptive sub-article of List of bus routes in London, which would otherwise be overlarge and require splitting to be of use to the reader. Furthermore, the article links to adequate references for its purposes; broader sourcing exists in the primary articles concerning both TfL and the operator, in this case First London. Mackensen (talk) 23:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete; in this case, all of them, even if that takes more AfDs. There's a dozen bus routes in Greater Lowell, each and every one of them just as notable, and every single metropolitan area is just the same.--Prosfilaes (talk) 03:05, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:Notability is not a criteria for deletion; although it may suggest a merge. It also strains credulity that the bus network of the Greater Lowell conurbation equates to that of Greater London, whose population exceeds seven million. It is also not common practice to use a single article, not necessarily representative, as a standard for deleting several hundred articles. The suggestion is not serious. Mackensen (talk) 03:20, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- How about WP:NOT#GUIDE? We're not talking about the bus network, we're talking about a bus route. Greater London has hundreds of bus routes serving seven million; Greater Lowell has 18 serving a quarter million, so each Lowell route serves more people than each London route. In any case, Greater Lowell is just one example; according to List of cities by population, London is the 16th largest city, and according to List of urban areas by population, it's the 25th. Assuming that for some reason London is the lower cut off point, and that the larger cities only have as many bus routes as London does (347 articles), do we really need five to eight thousand articles that consist of the list of times and places of bus stops?
- (As a side note, Greater Lowell is included in Wikipedia statistics with Boston, and Greater Boston's population is nearly 4.5 million. Why shouldn't Greater Boston's bus routes be included?)
- I will agree that this AfD is probably not justification for deleting the rest of the articles; but it should be the first, and the rest should follow in further AfDs or prods. All of this non-encyclopedic material should be swept into the Thames.--Prosfilaes (talk) 12:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not clear to me how this material is non-encyclopedic; I'd appreciate clarification on this point. That Greater Boston's bus routes do or do not exist has no bearing on whether these articles exist; they must be considered on their own merits. I've given several justifications above as to why individual sub-articles better serve the reader then one or several massive omnibus articles. You ask whether we "need" these articles. We don't "need" anything; need has never been a criteria for anything. Our editors write according to their interests, in consideration of what our readers might like to read and governed by our own policies on content. This article in no way serves as a timetable; it does not correlate the overall journey time with individual stops, it merely notes the route taken (in one part of the article) and the service level maintained (in another part of the article). This is necessary and proper for article concerning a service; the use of templates suggests a standard approach taken in this and other articles. Mackensen (talk) 13:41, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It's not encyclopedic because it's not the type of thing encyclopedias do. These are ephemeral things that aren't written about in books or anything besides purely pragmatic guides for bus-riders. It's not encyclopedic because, as I point out above, to cover bus routes of large cities would take thousands of articles--if we included urban areas with merely a million people, we'd be in the tens of thousands of articles--which is an amount of space completely out of proportion to the general importance of the subject. I've been in research libraries with a million books, and they didn't have tens of thousands of books on bus routes. They're ephemeral; the articles provide no historical context, and state everything in the present, talking about things that could change on the whim of the bus company.
- No, I don't think it's necessary and proper for an article concerning a service. We do not mention every exit on every US Interstate. We don't cover ever-changing things in exhaustive detail.--Prosfilaes (talk) 01:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. These questions of proportionality don't apply there. You're also wrong to state that these articles don't discuss historical context; I've seen several that detail a history going back to the 1960s. On the matter of this article, the lack of historical context is an individual failing, correctable and not systemic. It's also true that we don't mention every exit on a US interstate, but I question the relevance of that comparison. We do discuss every interstate itself, even though these are more routings than physical things, a road can be re-signed at any time. Mackensen (talk) 01:29, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Actually, with only a few exceptions that haven't been done yet, we do list every exit on every Interstate. As for this article, it really needs history. If there's almost no history it might be better in a list like list of bus routes in Manhattan. --NE2 08:14, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete. Wikipedia may not be a paper encyclopedia, as has been pointed out above, but it still is, or should be, an encyclopedia. And no useful definition of an encyclopedia stretches to include information such as routes and timetables for public transport. Before anyone says "but this could be useful for some people", let me remind you guys that these days such information is easily, and much more reliably, available on the public transport companies' websites (in this case http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk). If we start duplicating their information we may as well start copying phone directories into articles next. After all, some may find it useful, and this ain't paper... Jimmy Fleischer (talk) 10:21, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The article, of course, contains no timetable (though it does like to said reliable timetable). Ab reductio absurdam is no reason delete, and it's not enough to state that "no useful definition of an encyclopedia" includes this, because you haven't stated what that definition is! Incidentally, welcome to Wikipedia. Mackensen (talk) 11:54, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, so it doesn't contain a timetable, just a list of stops without times. Does that make it a more useful or legitimate in an encyclopedia? And of course I haven't stated what definitions of an encyclopedia don't allow for stuff like this, because none do. That's got nothing at all to do with a "reductio ad absurdum". Information of this type belongs in a travel wiki or a London wiki, but not in an encyclopedia, wiki or no wiki. As for your welcome message - thank you. I just hope it's not to imply that new users aren't entitled to an opinion. Jimmy Fleischer (talk) 12:43, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - wiki is not a guide. Absent other information, individual bus routes are not notable even if the transport system in which they operate is notable. -- Whpq (talk) 14:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This article doesn't assert notability. In looking into this I noticed, as Mackensen points out, that we have many, many articles on bus routes. I also noticed that there have been previous AfD discussions on individual routes, as well as multiple routes. While it is clear that some individual articles - such as this one - are trivial, and not worth keeping, others do have potential (though could do with a bit of adequate sourcing to support what appears to be a lot of OR). Some routes might go in WikiTravel, though this one is too minor for even that. Considering the case before us, this article is trivial, unsourced, and has no potential for meaningful growth. This essay: Wikipedia:Places of local interest is worth reading. SilkTork *SilkyTalk 15:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am absolutely new in this. This is a valid entry and I would like to know why it would not be in line with the policies. Anyone out there HELP Whonnockian (talk) 00:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete because of the lack of established or asserted notability. Whonnackian, you should read the Wikipedia content policies - specifically, WP:N for notability, WP:V for verifiability, and WP:RS about reliable sources. Also, note that in the case of this article, while it may be both verifiable and traced to reliable sources it can still fail on notability. AvruchTalk 00:14, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for now. This is interesting. Apparently Slumach is some sort of lost mine in the Pitt River area from the 1800s. This might actually be a neat little article, and the person that made it appears to have access to offline/book sources as well. It does read insane, but let this one go a bit. If it's still sounding like nonsense in a month or two we can just nuke it then. There is even a book about this, apparently. I think the article is just very rough around the edges, but I could be wrong. Whatever "Slumach" truly is, as it relates to Pitt Lake, is definitely notable. Whatever it is (lost mine? old mountain man?). • Lawrence Cohen 00:19, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep if Whonnockian agrees to work to make the article conform with WP:MOS. I think this is notable in that there have been multiple books published about the story and the "lost mine" inspired treasure hunters for decades. We certainly only need the one article, though, not a narrative telling the tale separately. --Dhartung | Talk 00:29, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
AVRUCH: WP:N -- see comments of Dhartung and Lawrence Cohen. As far as WP:V and WP:RS is concerned, one can't have better materials than the original records. TenPoundHammer /Dhartung/Lawrence C.

Saturday November 24 2007
Folks: I'm completely new to Wikipedia processes, and perhaps am making a misstep here, but I must toss my support being the entry on Slumach. Perhaps it needs reworking, but the legend of Slumach's gold mine is a bona fide part of the history of British Columbia's greater Vancouver area and deserves a spot in your work.
I am a co-author of "Slumach's Gold: In Search of a Legend". In 1972, we three authors published an earlier version of this work which became the local authority on a legend that has been extant since 1890. This fall, we published a much-expanded 35th anniversary edition of this book, which brings to the fore much more information on the legend.
In essence, it comes to this: in 1890, Slumach murdered Louis Bee, and the murder, the two month search for Slumach, his arraignment, his trial, and his hanging were all chronicled in the press of the day, The Columbian newspaper. This much is verifiable historical fact. A decade later, rumours that Slumach had a lost gold mine near Pitt Lake, just a few dozen miles from Vancouver, surfaced. The rumours said that Slumach had cursed his mine on the gallows, ensuring no one would find it and live. The likely area where ANY mine might be found is treacherous back country, and gold seekers can run afoul of bad weather, difficult terrain, wild animals, etc., and die very easily. There have been many deaths of people searching for the mine, and the popular press has created the image that these deaths are the result of Slumach's curse, though there's no verifiable source for the concept that he even spoke as he stood on the gallows. Certainly, witnesses said that he spoke not a word before he was hanged.
Slumach's story has been told and retold in The Columbian newspaper (now long gone), The Vancouver Sun and The Province, both major newspapers in Vancouver and environs, and in numerous magazines, television productions, etc.
So...this is legit! Our book is on bookshelves everywhere in the Vancouver area right now, spent four weeks on the BC Bestsellers list (books produced in British Columbia) and is available at Chapters.ca, Amazon.ca, and others. Our new website is at www.slumachsgold.ca. Others have produced similar works.
This entry DESERVES a place on Wikipedia. I suggest you give it some time to be rewritten or edited to your satisfaction. The author of the entry is a credible local source of information on the "facts" that relate to the legend. His own website is available at www.slumach.ca. Please check out these references, confirm to your satisfaction that indeed this is a legitimate candidate for a place in your wonderful creation, and allow the author of the piece time to rework it to your satisfaction!
Thank you for your consideration. I'm hoping my intervention will actually appear on line when I hit "Save Page"...but this is my first time at this, so I dunno.

- The rubric in question would be the "Pornographic actor" section of Wikipedia:Notability (people).

This article's title appears to be a neologism which refers to the idea of doing computing rapidly or immediately, but it does not really describe what the "specialized infrastructure" for this would be. If this were rewritten to discuss a particular methodology of grid computing, I'm not sure it would pass WP:N. Also, there is a conflict of interest here, judging by the username of the creator. Alksub (talk) 23:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply] Hi Alksub, what if the article included a discussion of how urgent computing is implemented in a various circumstances? For example, on a single machine (e.g. UNIX) a 'nice' value for a process may dictate the amount of CPU time the process is allocated. In cluster computing, queues and queue policies dictate the urgency for a job -- in other words the scheduler is responsible for implementing a notion of 'urgency'. We can also give a more detailed overview of how one might go about implementing urgent computing in the context of grid computing, and i think this section can be written to be more general and applicable to other types of distributed computing platforms other than just grid computing.

Bestchai (talk) 21:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply] Hi Alksub, the article is not fully developed yet. I am new to wikipedia, and was planning on starting up a stub and expanding as and when I get time. While this can be considered neologism, the concept is gaining popularity in the research field - as demonstrated by the interest generated in some major conferences and workshops. I work on the SPRUCE project which is related to urgent computing. The idea behind creating this article was to give a famous platform for urgent computing, so interested users can find it easily. Just like there is a wiki article for Utility Computing which is kind of a commercial counterpart of this. Demonstrations of Urgent Computing have been covered in GridToday in end of 2006, severe weather modelers have used it real time during Spring 07 etc, so it is neither a very new concept nor obscure.

Wikipedia isn't a sports statistics guide.

That, however, is an editorial task, not an administrative one, and will probably take more planning and work than can be accomplished at a single AfD.

Keep on the basis of the notability of her work. (that a professorship was named after her is in my opinion indeed not all that much of a criterion--USC like other universities, when it gets money for chairs, names them after distigujshed figures or after the donor. In this case it is presumably not the donor--few faculty are paid enough to endow chairs in their own name for future generations, but they can have sufficient academic influence, for others to name chairs after them. One notable publication with multiple reviews is sufficient for the notability of an academic author, and the reviews cited are the third party sources showing the notability.

Re-writing once again all the bits that were found is a waste of time. It has already been done. I am sure the subject of this article would not like to have himself referred to as 'one more little piece of junk'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.142.226.26 (talk) 20:28, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but expand. This is getting a bit ridiculous. 90% of the article has now been removed including factual , verifiable statements. The article is removed to a few sentences, some with two footnotes a sentence. Either the chap is notable and worth writing about or not, but reducing the article to almost a stub with only a few sentences is clearly not the way to go.

Non-notable mall in West Virginia. A search for sources online found nothing of note (and judging by the mall's website, the place is mostly vacant anyway). Also contains a dash of original research. Ten Pound Hammer • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 02:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was No consensus. Whether this pub just meets or just misses WP:N is a close decision and the community's lack of consensus on that is pretty clear. It has more information and coverage than what one would expect for an otherwise local pub (Sunday Telegraph, e.g.) so this is not a precedent where any local watering hole that gets mentioned in the home-town press meets WP:N (see WP:LOCAL).

Nice article, but of local interest only, so I think that it's unencyclopedic as per WP:NOTABILITY. Perhaps add a summary to the Paddock Wood village article. -- John (Daytona2 · talk) 00:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of information/references/links are you guys looking for? I went to many other film production company articles on Wikipedia that have less information, fewer links, and seem much less noteworthy. I can certainly write a longer article with more information if that's what you want. Shatner1 (talk) 22:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The company recently changed names. I guess I'll wait until the IMDb changes take effect (siting Special Entertainment instead of Fortress Productions), and wait for the other print articles to come out, then I'll re-post this article with those changes. How many more "reliable sources" do you think I need? Two? Ten? Shatner1 (talk) 23:59, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly written personal musings on a topic the notability of which is not established. Argumentative/essay style ('we contend that...'). Half of the 'article' is also plagiarised from this website.[22] Apparent conflict of interest as well, since one of the more active authors of the article is one User:Frodeman, who seems to be personally involved in advocating the ideas that 'we [in the article] contend' in order to earn a living.

Pretentious gibberish, original research--even the existence of the genre as separate from other genres seems to be original research, no assertion of notability, no references. In all, this page adds nothing to Wikipedia, and the encyclopaedia won't be worse off without it. Misella Landica (talk) 13:04, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The result was Keep. The label may strike some hearers as inaccurate, but there is sufficient evidence to show that the term exists and is in use. The article may require refinement to substantiate individual assertions with direct citations, but a base of scholarship clearly proves the currency of the term. Debate over retitling for clarity is not best resolved at AfD, but the article's talk page. Having said that, I will re-title the article editorially, adding "(economic model)", to distinguish the article from the actual historical Anglo-Saxon economy, on which Wikipedia might someday have an article.

I admit I had no idea that "common" misspellings are OK. I beg to differ about the "common", though. A quick Google search reveals 2,000 hits for "anchluss" on English-language pages, as opposed to 585,000 for the (correctly spelled) "anschluss". That's a misspelled rate of under .5% . If that qualifies as "common" in Wikipedia terms, I stand corrected, but I still consider it absurd. Jimmy Fleischer (talk) 15:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was I have deleted this article, as the notability is marginal, and the subject requests deletion. These two in conjunction would seem to allow us to do the right thing here.. Mercury 13:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply] Robert Lambton[edit]I declined the speedy deletion request because the subject clearly makes an assertion of notability. However, I don't think that the subject is notable for Wikipedia. The subject is mentioned in a few reliable sources (newspapers), but I fail to see where Lambton has been the main subject of an entire reliable source.
