The result was Delete per WP:SNOW. There doesn't appear to be a consensus to merge the material into the high school's article, and as it is a generic list of the courses offered in most UK high schools I don't see any need to do so under WP:PRESERVE..

The result was Speedily deleted because obvious hoaxes are vandalism. And more's the pity: this one was damnably clever, an article about introducing advertising into dreams. But J. Robert Oppenheimer died in 1967 and as such could not have been moved to awe at the Three Mile Island nuclear accident, among other obvious impossibilities. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It is just a list, nothing more, it is of no value to Wikipedia.Trevor Marron (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
How exactly is that a reason. We have a policy on lists because they're allowed and common.- Mgm|(talk) 09:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, the actual contents here appears to be "Companies listed on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange", annotated by symbol. You can see the official list on their website [3]. We can also add the companies from the Hanoi Securities Trading Center [4] if not the same, and a separate section for other notable private companies. The list on this article simply needs to be updated and formatted. No one here has yet presented a policy-based deletion rationale. AfD is not cleanup. cab (talk) 00:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment An article about Vietnamese corporations would be encyclopedic, but this one has a long way to go to be encyclopedic, and violates all sorts of different policies-- the main ones being "unsourced", and "indiscriminate list". Can't vote to keep as it stands now, but maybe someone will fix it. However, I agree that an unsourced list is of no value. Mandsford (talk) 00:29, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The list is now sourced and quite discriminate. In addition to this list, it would be nice to have an article about the actual different forms of companies under Vietnamese law, but obviously that's a harder topic. cab (talk) 01:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Seems sort of okay I think. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:34, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Companies listed at a stock exchange are considered notable per CORP, so having a list of such companies by country is nothing remotely indiscriminate. Could probably use a rename. - Mgm|(talk) 09:14, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This works now. I'd add that most of the companies have descriptive names (An Jiang Coffee, ButSon Cement, etc.); some conglomerates might require some explanation, but I expect that this will improve in time. Mandsford (talk) 12:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article contains significant content about differences between live and studio versions, see also Obscured by Clouds (song) which is in the same situation.

Considering that this song is known under a variation of the title from a later live version by Gilmour as a solo artist, it makes sense to have the article to explain it. Otherwise, we are going to have people trying to "correct" the name frequently in one album article or the other, which is going to be a pain for those of us who monitor the Pink Floyd pages. At present, all Pink Floyd songs have articles, and most of them have enough content to justify their existence. The few that don't, should be improved instead of being deleted.

Article contains detailed analysis of the music. Is it being challenged because of lack of citation? Is citation really needed for something like this? Or is the appropriateness of this kind of section, what is being challenged? It's kind of hard to tell when a large group of articles are being afd'd with a generic reason given for each. At present, all Pink Floyd songs have articles, and most of them have enough content to justify their existence. The few that don't, should be improved instead of being deleted. Apparently there is a desire to mass delete, which I feel is unnecessary. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 01:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Should each pop song have an entry? Even if it is Pink Floyd. Do't think so. There are 100.000's of popsongs. This will water down the Wikpedia. Same applies for Who is Who entries. What does an entry about a sportsman tell the public about his contributions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.87.123.162 (talk)
Yes, citations are needed. Unless the analysis of the music is covered in reliable sources, providing such an analysis is original research. I still Oppose this deletion because the nominator failed to show that they put any effort in researching the article prior to nomination and merging doesn't require deletion at all. - Mgm|(talk) 09:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "Stay" is covered in the songbook Anthology, which I have laying somewhere around. While the chords look pretty fine for me, others may find out if the conclusions (chord progressions etc.) are WP:OR. Mabbett reflects the lyrics in his book, that could be worked into the article. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 13:10, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article could use some rewording to bring it up to standard. Is that what this afd is about? It would be nice if it was explained instead of just pasting the same generic reason on a large group of articles. At present, all Pink Floyd songs have articles, and most of them have enough content to justify their existence. The few that don't, should be improved instead of being deleted. Apparently there is a desire to mass delete, which I feel is unnecessary. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 01:48, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails Wikipedia:Notability (music). I can't find any nontrivial coverage apart from an Allmusic article with two albums that never charted (only one released on a label, but I can't find it sold on the net). One album not mentioned on Allmusic is digitally on Amazon, a collaboration with someone not notable. The claims she won ASCAP awards and had international tours are not sourced/not reliably sourced.

This song was played live a fair bit and marked at least some firsts for the band (I don't know if it was their first use of synthesizers but it was certainly their first use of drum machines, which I wouldn't have known existed that long ago if not for this song). That's more than can be said for, say, "Stay" or "Burning Bridges" from the same album, yet those articles are not up for deletion.

  • Keep - Agreed. The first PF song to include a synthesizer and the title track for a very notable album is notable. --Oakshade (talk) 10:46, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The keep arguments seem to boil down to 1) it is the first Pink Floyd song to use a synthesizer (or maybe a drum machine), 2) it is from an album which reached number 6 in the charts, and 3) it would be odd for there to be articles for all other Pink Floyd songs but not this one. Point 3 is easily countered by WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, point 2 clearly doesn't make the song notable and point 1 will only make the song notable if multiple reliable sources discuss this point and the song in detail, this is clearly mentioned in WP:NSONGS. Do these sources exist? --JD554 (talk) 11:06, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The books by Schaffner and Mabbett clearly have sections about the song, I didn't check Mason's book or others. Also I don't have access to contemporary magazines and newspapers. Given the fact that's it's also the soundtrack of a movie by a notable director, there certainly should be sources - but how to find snippets from 1972? --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 11:15, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:MOVIE. This film exists (one can rent it from Netflix) but it went straight to DVD in the US and had only a limited foreign release; I can find no reviews of it in rottentomatoes. I prodded it but the prod was removed in favor of a redirect to Daniel Myrick (its notable co-writer and director) by DGG. As for whether it should remain a redirect or be deleted altogether, I don't especially care, though I lean towards deletion, but I think we should discuss it as a deletion because either way the content of the article should be gone. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. -- — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  22:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose deletion. This article has been on Wikipedia with regular edits since it's release, why now the sudden need from two individuals to delete it? The claim of a "redirect" from a previous user was a full and complete deletion after two years of existence, and a redirect to a page having little to do with the film and nothing of note on the source article being redirected. Leave the film.
    Oppose Delete, oppose inadequate redirect to unrelated page.
    A side note; despite the claim, the film was NOT direct to video, the film had limited theatrical release in the United States.Lostinlodos (talk) 23:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question dilemma: Does someone want to make the case that it isnt suitable for even a redirect? In that case it belongs at WP:RFD, with the other questioned redirects. Or is the question whether to have a redirect or an article? That doesn't belong here either--it's an editing question. Here is a microcosm is the question of how we handle things like this: what we have in our procedures simply does not make sense. The only thing that actually belongs here is things that if they weren't suitable for an article would be suitable for nothing. Perhaps the idea to make this article for discussion, and consider all issues together, wasn't a bad one after all--we would then merge RfD and requested merges into this, and be able to consider all the options openly. I'm at a loss otherwise how to make sense of this except to continue to call this AfDeletion, but treat it as the place for all major questions involving article suitability. Is that what we actually want to do? DGG (talk) 05:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Clearly WP:RFD is the wrong choice: Lostinlodos insists on it being a full article. I think the full article he wants to have here should be deleted. Once it is deleted, I don't care whether the name "Solstice (film)" remains unused or is redirected, but I think the content is below threshold for keeping. Since it's about keeping or not keeping a whole article's worth of content, I think AfD is the right place for the discussion. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:59, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • I wouldn't worry, we're not a bureaucracy. Doesn't really matter where the consensus is developed, just that a consensus is developed. I mean, the fact that the talk page of the article is devoid of posts is worrying, but we are here now, so here we all are. Incoming links probably merit a redirect rather than deletion. Deletion based on WP:V doesn't seem beyond the realms of policy though. Hiding T 12:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment::I'm not stuck on the full article, I'm taking shots at a redirect that points to nothing to do with the film. I'm all for a redirect if you want you vengeance against the op; I take issue, and post accordingly, with people who delete articles and redirect to pages that don't cover the article. When I look up Solstice (film), and get redirected to another page that doesn't cover Solstice (film), then it's not a useful redirect, nay a disservice to the user. We delete, or we don't. I still oppose deletion, but would encourage any redirect to COVER THE ITEM BEING REDIRECTED.Lostinlodos (talk) 19:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: The claim "This film exists (one can rent it from Netflix) but it went straight to DVD in the US and had only a limited foreign release;" is a form of systemic bias. A film is no less important if it received theatrical release outside the US and it also doesn't matter whether it went to theatres or straight to DVD. If the article says "However, it received a theatrical release in Russia, the Philippines, Mexico and other countries." then the correct course of action is to seek coverage in those languages (or inform the people with the right language skills). - Mgm|(talk) 08:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • SPEEDY Keep for goodness sake. That it existed without being properly sourced is a shame... but absolutely no reason to delete if it can easily be addressed by WP:CLEANUP. Reviews by experts in their field, qualified to voice an opinion: Bloody Disgusting, Best Horror Movies, Dread Central, E SPlatter, Shock Till You Drop, et al. And no, these reviewes are not from the New York Times (which does not review every film ever made), but still from respected experts in the horror genre... themselves reliable sources with editorial oversite. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:24, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Why was this even brought here? Per WP:AFTER the rescue was quite easy. It had/has in-depth press coverage in reliable sources. It has in-depth reviews by genre experts. It has world-wide release. I just gave it some tweaks and am frankly quite baffled as to why this was even nominated. The briefest look at Google News alone shows dozens of articles about the film. What gives? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 08:55, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Sufficient sources have been added, but I tend to agree with MichaelQSchmidt above - it was easy to source, (a quick search on Google news proved this, but given the director it was always going to get sufficient coverage), and I'm not sure why there was a debate in the first place. - Bilby (talk) 09:35, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • I did look. All I found were unreliable-looking website reviews (many of which have now been linked as sources in the article) and two articles in Variety and the Washington Post long before the movie was made saying that it was Myrick's next project. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:29, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • Okay, I accept you looked. Fair enough. However, the sources that you felt were "unreliable-looking" have been discussed at length in other AfDs (of which you could not have been aware), and were determined to be reasonably reliable sources for the context offered, not being SPS and having editorial oversite. They are no more SPS than are New York Times or Rotten Tomatoes... they just happen to be genre specific, which is acceptable, as long as there is oversite and they are accepted by their genre as being expert in their genre. They were dozens more sources found and specifically NOT used... appearing to be blogs or forums. The ones offered were not so. And sidenote: the Washington Post and Variety sources will better serve the article when moved to a section on background and planning of this film. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:25, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. After so much enthusiasm from the !votes above, I took a look at this supposed rescue. One article in the Washington Post has a trivial mention of this film as Myrick's next project. One article (now removed) in a small paper wasn't even about this film at all — it was about a different Myrick film in the Solstice Film Festival. The rest appear to violate WP:SPS.

Neo-Objectivism (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

The article doesn't establish that "neo-Objectivism" is a distinct philosophy, social movement, or worldview. Indeed, the article explicitly acknowledges this: "There is no self-identified Neo-Objectivist movement." Rather, it appears to be a term of abuse used by some Objectivists (the more "orthodox" ones) to deride others who stray from their interpretation of Ayn Rand's philosophy. This makes the article original research at best. It also has no references that contain the terms "neo-Objectivist" or "neo-Objectivism." And what content it does have is mostly vague generalizations that aren't likely to be verifiable. Binarybits (talk) 21:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating for deletion because the article has no sources independent of the organization itself, and I have been unable to locate any. This puts it in clear violation of guidelines for notability of groups and organizations. (Please note that the criterion is not whether the group sounds interesting or important to Wikipedia editors; the point is whether independent reliable sources have found the organization to be notable enough to write about.) I have only been able to find a few websites about the organization:

The first two have not been updated in many years; the last appears not to have been updated in at least a year. All appear to be self-promotion by the group itself. None provides enough information to verify any important facts about the group (like how many members does it have, who are its leaders...). I have not found any articles about the group from independent sources. Consequently there is no way to independently verify that the group is notable, that any of the facts stated about it in the article are true, or that it even exists.

Contested PROD, prod tag was removed by creator of the article without explanation. From the original prod - Soapboxing, neologism, OR, no sources, created as POV-fork from Aztlán,no notability as per neologism, non-encyclopedic in style and content. Delete. Dawn Bard (talk) 19:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be deleted because it is: a POV-fork from Aztlán where the articles creator was told that this material was not suited for inclusion because it contained very emphatically pronounced POV (read: soapboxing), was un-sourced, described what is a probable neologism and was completely out of style for a neutral and fact centered encyclopedia.·Maunus·ƛ· 19:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: The writer of the article wrote the following on the articles talk page: "This is a page dedicated to the modern nation many Aztlanistas are attempting to create. My knowledge of this subject comes from multiple sources, official and unofficial, from both academics and laypeople." Dawn Bard (talk) 19:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a page dedicated to the modern nation many Aztlanistas are attempting to create, and many Anglo Americans are trying to prevent. This is a subject of much debate, and thus deserves a description. It is not a neologism, it is regarded as a proper term by many. Just because some editors are unaware of current political movements does not mean that those movements do not exist in strength.

My knowledge of this subject comes from multiple sources, official and unofficial, from both academics and laypeople.

None of this is my opinion, thus it is not soapboxing, rather it is simply the result of my research.

[12] Check out this story which is on many sites and written by the associated press. It speaks of a UNM professor who predicts that this nation will come to pass. This is just one source. There are so many others. Perhaps if I list them all, this article would be acceptable.

This is a real issue, a real subject that wikipedia should address. This article is neutral and fact-centered. This article should not be deleted. Thepiner (talk) 19:28, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No third party sources, COI issues too as the article creator seems to be involved with the situation and is trying to use Wikipedia to advertise themselves. TJ Spyke 21:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can people wait until I get some more sources? What do you mean by "article creator seems to be involved with the situation?"

What is that supposed to mean? How am I involved? It is a subject of interest and I have undertaken research, but I am in no way involved in the issue of the Republic of Aztlan, other than trying to bring it to attention to the general public.

"and is trying to use Wikipedia to advertise themselves"

Okay, now I know you are just trying to be malicious. NO WHERE do I state my name or any institution I am affiliated with. NO WHERE do I advertise my research or make reference to myself or my opinions in relation to this subject. NO WHERE is there even a hint of my own opinions on the matter. I'm just stating the facts.

I'm starting to think the people who want to delete this page just want to delete it because the realities of the above mentioned movent is unknown to them and thus perhaps frightening.

Let me be clear: I want to educate people, but I don't give a shit as to their opinions, which should tell you that I don't care if people share MY opinions.

Let me get some other sources up before you people start chopping off my head for bringing up a controversial topic.

Non-notable from a non-notable "record company", possibly autobiographical. Bothpath (talk) 21:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's no link for the Anchorage article, but the Vacaville Reporter (so minor of a paper that it doesn't have its own Wiipedia article, just a page with a list of small papers owned by a parent company) looks to be nothing more than a republished press release, thus failing the independent and nontrivial clauses of notability guidelines. Local papers don't go very far in establishing notability for an encyclopedia anyway. Notable entertainers would have picked up more coverage than that. In fact I have relatives who do local gigs and self-produce albums who clearly do not meet notability standards who have better local news coverage than that. DreamGuy (talk) 14:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
After reading your comment and looking again, I must agree with you about the Reporter article sounding like a press release, so I have removed that one. In the meantime, I found one other article in the Daily News. With the two fairly lengthy articles and one brief article about her, I was able to add some more verifiable content, and there is more from them that still could be added.

Steve Kim (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Per the prod, which was removed without reason:

This seems to be a hoax, or else so badly confused as to be useless. The KNBC reference just goes to their front page while the Korean one seems to be about somebody else entirely. If you babelfish it, the DOB is different and nothing else matches (e.g album titles). The article even seems confused about the difference between North and South Korea! Fails verifiability.

Global Prescience[edit]

Global Prescience (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

The page and subject do not appear to satisfy the policies on verifiability, original research, or neutral point of view. Based on notability guidelines, it does not seem possible to develop an article which meets the policies. The page is apparently an essay describing a original futurology thesis encompassed by the coined term, "global prescience". The term seems to be a neologism, and does not look to have any traction outside Pennsylvania State University. Although it was suggested that it may be possible to merge content into the futurology article, I am unsure of what, if anything, would be suitable for a merge. Despite the numerous citations included in the "Global Prescience" page, they seem to be used in synthesis; none of them could be found to cover "global prescience" directly. Dancter (talk) 18:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, an essay full of original research that contains large swatches of codswallop: Through socio-cognitive factors, global prescience is linked to semiotics, the science of how meaning is constructed and understood. The design of a clue detection engine needs to take into account the role of semiotics. The application of semiotics to global prescience underscores the reinforcement of connotative meanings such that sensemaking networks will detect information along a certain calculus. The study of language and audition recognizes the importance of semiotics, alongside its complexity and philosophical basis. The general tenor of the article seems to be about some kind of magical technology that will keep you abreast of emerging trends, apparently for financial gain, suggesting ulterior motives. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:41, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not sure I think this topic (adding MIDI capabilities to a device) is proper for Wikipedia, but the article as currently written has minimal useful content.

From: original author of this page. Happy to take direction on improving this article, which is certainly short on content so far. I am well aware that I am not expert in the technology, and am planning via other forums to seek further input from those who are. Forgive me if it is considered inappropriate to gather such information by starting an admittedly incomplete page. (Aren't most of them?!) I think some parts of the music community would consider the term midification is both a useful and instantly understandable neologism. I would be pleased to learn what Looie496 considers "talk page material". NickSharp (talk) 18:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"There may well be a need for a disambiguation page for the word, as there appear to be other uses" is definitely talk page material, and other things in the "Introduction" as well. Looie496 (talk) 19:10, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. Nick, also, I'd refrain from including the number of google hits the term receives in the article, as it's generally not considered encyclopedic. It really depends on what and who is using it, and in what context. To respond to your comment above Looie, AfD is a perfect venue to discuss the merits of a potential deletion candidate since I didn't nominate it for its lack of content, tone, style or worthiness. That would have been a misuse of the process. Rather, it was a good faith nomination on the basis of the neologism/protologism's pervasiveness and significance.

Per Daniel Christensen's and Hexachord's comments, I think redirecting and merging to the midi article would be best. There's not enough independent notability for a stand alone article. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:03, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: It certainly does not merit an article; maybe a section or mention in another MIDI-related article or MIDI itself. Daniel Christensen (talk) 04:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge what can be salvaged and redirect to MIDI, which would cover both potential meanings of the word. — Gwalla | Talk 17:24, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - midification is no neologism. It is used since MIDI is around. Professionally manufactured "midification kits" for pre-MIDI synthesizers like the Roland Jupiter 8 ([16]) were available soon after the first MIDI synthesizers came out in the mid-1980s. The word is also used as "MIDIfikation" in German language: Google.de search. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 16:09, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge From original author: I thank Hexachord for support, but I actually now feel that this term does not warrant an article all to itself. It is interesting to know that the term is nearly as old as MIDI itself. I feel quite confident the term should have a place in Wikipedia, perhaps with "to midify" and "midifying"?. I am less sure there is a need for disambiguation, since all of the first few Google search results that had nothing to do with MIDI were simply spelling mistakes, as 'i' is next to 'o' on a QWERTYUIOP keyboard. Does ChildofMidnight have input on that? In any case, if the term is merged to the MIDI article, I guess it no longer needs a disambiguation page.

I thank wisdom89 for his notes. My feathers are smoother now! They were a little ruffled by a deletion nomination 3 minutes after the first 'Save page'!

Palestinian revolving door policy[edit]

AfDs for this article:
Palestinian revolving door policy (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

The phrase "Palestinian revolving door policy" is an WP:OR hodgepodge that utterly fails WP:N. It receives zero scholarly references and was not an official policy of the Palestinian Authority, but rather an accusation levelled against them by the Israeli government under Netanyahu. The title is misleading, the subject non-notable. Merging of a couple of lines of the content into articles related to Benjamin Netanyahu or the Palestinian Authority might be possible, but as a standalone article?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiamut (talk • contribs)

  • Notice: Article has been restructured and re-edited with some content adding at 08:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC) [18]. JaakobouChalk Talk 08:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As a result of the restructuring and significant expansion and additions of scholarly sources discussing the allegations of a 'revolving door' policy, I have reconsidered my position regarding the article's notability. I believe it does meet WP:N and managed to avoid WP:OR via a name change to Revolving door (Israeli politics). I changed it to this name from Brewcrewer's earlier name change to Revolving door policy. The reason this change is necessary is so as not to imply it is a policy in the title, when it is only alleged to be a policy. Scare quotes might have taken care of that but I believe they are frowned upon in the MoS. In any case, I hope the new title alleviates the concerns of OR and NPOV among others as it has for me. However, I'm a bit of a die-hard inclusionist so others might not take the same approach. Thanks to all for your efforts in bringing the article quality up and for everyone's comments. Tiamuttalk 14:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: No offense, but the "PA revolving door" is referred by Israel and others towards the Palestinian Authority so your renaming to "Israeli politics" was not a great idea. JaakobouChalk Talk 12:28, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Response:' No offense, but given that it's an allegation made by Israeli politicians against the PA, I'd say that "Israeli politics" is a good delimiter to have in the brackets. I used Revolving door (politics) as my disambig style guide in this decision. I'm currently leaning more towards Revolving door (Mideast politics) given the sources Nickhh brought forward on Palestinian allegations against Israel that it is the one with a revolving door policy in its habit of re-arresting people its just released. But this naming and article scope discussion belongs on the article talk page and not here. No offense. Tiamuttalk 21:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No offense, but I'd like to chime in here. The allegations were made by the American and British governments as well, so "Israeli politics" is misleading. Also, these allegations originated from the intelligence and security apparatuses of the Israeli government, not their politicians. Finally, it's a national security issue, not a "political" issue. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:39, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The article's sources and the sources provided above by User:Neon white indicates that the concept and term are notable. The fact that it is an allegation is irrelevant. God is also an allegation. According to WP policy, notability is decided by substantial coverage in reliable sources. Same with allegations.

Basically the reason I was going to say delete was because of lack of personal knowledge here, and it appears now that the term is used in a lot of places, by notable persons, and therefore appears notable enough for its own article. —Ynhockey (Talk) 21:09, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Tundrabuggy. I can understand why pro-Palestinians claim POV and would object to this term in that they might not see anything wrong with the policy at all. They (and the P.A.) specifically reject being Israel's enforcer of Israeli Jewish law and do not see anything wrong with releasing 'militants' who have carried out missions 'against the occupation'. So for them 'revolving door' is really NN, but in otherwise 'international' law, releasing suspects of violent crimes is not acceptable. --Shuki (talk) 21:42, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Just thought I'd add a few more since I had made note of them.
    • The Oslo Accords: international law and the Israeli-Palestinian peace agreements - Page 225 by Geoffrey R. Watson - 2000 -[27] "Israel has charged that the PA has adopted a 'revolving door' policy of detaining and then releasing known terrorists. "
    • Israel's foreign relations: selected documents, 1947-1974 by Meron Medzini, 1976 Pg 262 - "The US has also committed to Israel that there will be special arrangements to prevent a 'revolving door' policy in relation to these prisoners..."
    • [28] pg 7 Testimony for Congress The Roadmap to Middle East Peace: Can it be Restarted?" Boaz Ganor, Ex Dir International Policy Institute for Counter-Terrorism. "Sometimes they would put up a show arrest apprehending the terrorists and let them go free after a short while through the infamous 'revolving door' policy."
I think readers who come across this term might want to know what it means and look to Wikipedia for an answer. And lo! we have one. ;) Perhaps these extra refs will help to expand and improve the article. Tundrabuggy (talk) 23:04, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The phrase "revolving door policy" is of course a very common and standard - but nonetheless informal and colloquial - phrase, frequently applied to all sorts of situations. The sources cited appear to show that the PA policy on prisoner releases has occasionally been described, in passing, as an example of a "revolving door policy". Are we suggesting here that every time we can find a few instances of the use of the phrase by a politician/government or in a piece of commentary, in respect of situation or actor xxx, that we should then create an entire WP page with the formal title "xxx revolving door policy"? Unless there is actually serious evidence in serious sources that this is a commonly used, notable and formal phrase in its entirety, readily understood to refer specifically to this policy, this is pretty obvious POV forking and WP:SYNTHing. What next, "yyy hare-brained scheme", "zzz cunning plan"? --Nickhh (talk) 21:10, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • ps: call me thick, but I have only just noticed that this article has been renamed - since this AfD was opened - by User:Brewcrewer from "Palestinian revolving door policy" to simply "Revolving door policy". Forgive me, but this is doubly problematic - 1) is this kind of thing actually appropriate in the middle of an AfD?; 2) as I have noted, the more general phrase "Revolving door policy" is used to refer to many other things besides this supposed example of Palestinian duplicity, such that the general wrongness of this article is even more exposed now. --Nickhh (talk) 00:19, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You're making a good point. But as outlined at Talk:Revolving door policy#Article name, the previous name was vague and derogatory. Maybe a better name would be Palestinian Authority revolving door policy or Revolving door policy (Palestinian Authority).--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 00:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that might cover the renaming point, but not the fundamental AfD debate. In respect of both issues, I was just about to add the following - A few more quickly sourced online examples, to prove the point that not everything and every phrase has to be viewed through the I-P prism, and defined on every WP page as if that were all that counted. Release of prisoners in Northern Ireland, here; rotation of a football first team, here; senior staff moving from the public to private sector in the UK (again) here etc etc. Or maybe we should view it through the I-P prism after all, and note that the accusation seems to cut both ways! Now then, is anyone seriously going to defend the existence of this page, especially under its latest title? To repeat: is there something genuinely unique, and identified as the "Palestinian/PA/whatever revolving door policy", or are we talking about something that is an alleged policy, which has sometimes been described by way of general description, as a "revolving door policy". That does make a difference as to whether it deserves a whole WP page under that name. --Nickhh (talk) 00:54, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The name of the article is irrelevant for afd purposes. That can always be renamed, now or later. It's the content that's the issue. To that end, the "deleters" have focused on the wrong aspect of the content of the article. The article is not about the term, its origin, and its historic usage. That can be added as a small part of the article. The main focus of the article should be the actual (alleged) policy in which the PA arrested people and then just released them. This policy is a notable policy (as evidenced by the substantial coverage in reliable sources) and there's ample converge concerning the reasons for this type of policy, when it started, when it ended, why it started, why it ended, etc. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 01:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well whatever it ends up being called, I'm still not sure that this needs a whole WP page to itself. "Look! The PA (allegedly) releases terrorist prisoners!" Smacks more of a glorified blog post to me than an encyclopedia article. --Nickhh (talk) 01:26, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I might agree with your sentiments, but it's WP:N and WP:RS that rule the day. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 01:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Even if the allegations satisfy WP:N? brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
For the allegations to satisfy WP:N, we need sources discussing the allegations themselves – that is, qua allegations. Examples might include an Amnesty International investigation into the truth of the allegations, a series of

, etc. Allegations of Israeli apartheid is a classic example of when an allegation itself becomes notable. There are academic conferences, op-eds, TV segments, and entire books (both popular and scholarly) devoted to debating its merits; this is what makes it notable. Generally speaking, the notability of "allegations" type articles has nothing to do with whether the allegation's probable, or thought to be probable by an authority; it has simply to do with whether the allegation qua allegation has become interesting to lots of secondary sources.

I'm not saying there aren't any such sources in this case. But no, I don't think they've reached anywhere near a critical mass; and if we go down this path – Haaretz said it! Fox said it! We need an article on it! – we'll end up with a gigantic clusterfuck of lame articles like this one, written by partisans on both sides. Do you really want to see Israeli land-grab policy? Do you imagine, for one half a second, that it would have fewer sources than this one?--G-Dett (talk) 21:34, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Scholarly conferences is not prerequisite to notability, per WP:N. I don't think there was any scholarly conferences about Stoney Woodson. All that's required is substantial coverage in reliable sources, which this policy clearly meets. Oh, and Israeli land-grab policy, it already exists. See Judaization of Jerusalem, which just survived an afd. Too bad you couldn't chime in there.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 22:05, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I mentioned conferences as an example, not a sine qua non; don't get fixated on that for heaven's sake. Not having been previously aware of Judaization of Jerusalem, I'd have to reflect on it before saying what I think. It doesn't seem to me equivalent to Israeli land-grab policy.
Whenever you have a war or conflict, you have officials from one side making claims about what the other side's supposed "policies" consist of. I do not think that every one of these claims merits a separate Wikipedia article, simply because said claim was reported by several sources.--G-Dett (talk) 22:32, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Stoney Woodson doesn't meet any of your other suggested standards; no books about him either. The revolving door policy did not originate from a war. To the exact contrary. It was a policy that took place in the non-war years following the Oslo Accords. And the fact that this policy was practiced during post-Oslo process is probably what caused all the coverage about this policy. You see, it was this policy that the opponents to the peace process used as proof that there cannot be peace. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 22:47, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You keep fixating on non-essential elements of my posts, as if my arguments turned on them. Anyway. But Brewcrewer, when you say that "it was this policy that the opponents to the peace process used as proof that there cannot be peace," is that your own analysis, or one that's been mooted, disputed, etc. out there in the public sphere? If the latter, then that's exactly the kind of thing that could be relevant to notability.--G-Dett (talk) 22:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nor were there any "high-profile debates" about Stoney Woodson :) As for the "analysis", it's not my own, but something that I recall hearing. Obviously this analysis can't go into the article until it is supported by reliable sources. I'm looking around for stuff on The Google (my favorite mode of research), but these things take time. Why don't you help me out?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 23:09, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I hope no one minds my bundling these three pages on "relations" between Romania and three South American countries; they share a lack of notability. Here we find some friendly words spoken by the Romanian President, but one visiting parliamentary delegation is hardly enough to constitute a notable relationship. Besides that, I could find nothing on any of these, in Romanian, Spanish or English. The pairings are random, and the one salient fact - the presence of embassies - is noted at Diplomatic missions of Romania, of Colombia, and so on. And by the way, tellingly, the respective embassies' pages have zero to say about bilateral relations: if not even those pages will cover the topic, why should we?

Wikipedia's policy implies that if an article fails the notability criteria, the first option is to merge the article into another, rather than deletion [31]. Given that where some bilateral agreement exists, there is scope for future development of this relationship, even if a particular relationship is deemed not sufficiently notable at this point in time. Re-directs are cheap. The Estonian MFA indicates such a bilateral agreement exists or is in the precess of being drafted, hence there is scope for future expansion.

Until we have the new guideline editors can spend hours finding sources on these relationships only to see the article deleted by opponents who zealously appeal to a strict interpretation of existing guidelines, which while worthy aren’t specifically tailed to address bilateral relations.

This article is based on a newspaper article that is confirmed to be an April Fool's hoax. AVandtalkcontribs 15:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - The article is about the April Fool's joke itself and declares that several times. It has three news stories covering it. I would prefer to see more in line citations. The article may need help, but I don't see a reason to delete. Turlo Lomon (talk) 15:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but does it really pass the WP:N criteria? AVandtalkcontribs 15:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That isn't the reason you nominated the article. However, I believe being covered by multiple newspapers (who thought it was a real story) does qualify as notible. Turlo Lomon (talk) 15:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Turlo. Ikip (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Is the hoax itself notable? Of the "three news articles" covering it, two are pre-hoax (talking about the car itself), and only one discusses the hoax. If all we have to go on is one news article, this would fall under WP:NOT#NEWS. Also, although Turlo points out that this article admits the hoax, actually only the lead paragraph does; the entire "Description" section describes the car as if it were real. That is an easily surmountable problem, of course, but in any case that amount of description is not really necessary since this was a hoax, and doesn't contribute to any claims of notability. rʨanaɢ talk/contribs 16:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Creator: Go ahead, Strong Delete. When I first wrote this article, it was because I read an article from Xinhua, which linked to the article from Moscow Times, and as it looked genuine, I actually believed it. After five days from writing the article, I discovered that it was a hoax (and subsequently edited it, see talk page). I personally believe that now it is non-notable and non-encyclopedic, and should be deleted. Sorry for any trouble caused, it was a mistake of mine.

DEEDS Project[edit]

DEEDS Project (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

This is a page for a project at the University of Toronto. This article has several issues, but the reason for deletion is that it is clearly non-notable. After extensive searching, no third-party sources about the project could be found. Many universities have database/preservation projects, there is no clear reason why this one stands out to such an extent to warrant an article. Also, there is a clear conflict of interest - this article has been created by the user DEEDS.Education, a single-purpose account which violates WP:SPAMNAME. This is not a reason for deletion in itself, but it speaks to the fact that this project is not notable in the wider academic world, at least no more so than any of the hundreds of other similar projects in universities around the world. Since this is an academic project and not a business, I'm not sure if it would be considered spam, but it's close. Otebig (talk) 15:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I am finding reliable sources that cover this person in detail: [35]. Also, the L.A. times *did* cover this story, it is not public access but the article cite is: Jose Cardenas, "Patt Morrison; Parolee, Police Dog Killed; The first sheriff's canine to die in the line of duty is accidentally shot as deputies confront man.", LA Times, Aug 26, 2003, page B.3., non-public-access version here: [36] The occurrence also attracted some attention from activists across the nation, as is evidenced by mention this article in a Spanish-language publication in Atlanta: [37]. Cazort (talk) 14:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Ok so the L.A Times covered it, surpriced it didn't show up on Google News when I searched.

I examined all sources and only one is a forum. People's Weekly World (pww.org) is not a forum, it is a reliable news source, and the three hits on that site are all full articles (and not even opinion pieces): although it is openly written from a socialist perspective, I think it drives home the point I made earlier that this person's death has been picked up by activists. rwor.org is the official publication of the American Communist party, and The Militant is an international weekly socialist newspaper. All but the L.A. times article is non-local, and although it is in the local section, the L.A. Times is a very widely read paper. Cazort (talk) 00:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you clarify this as I asked above? Thanks. Cazort (talk) 14:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I consider that for local events, the test for significance is coverage in major sources outside their immediate surroundings. Police mishandling of domestic violence is so common as to be generally a matter that will not get such wider coverage. DGG (talk) 18:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with DGG. There doesn't seem to be the coverage right this minute to create a balanced article. The most recent report is 18 months ago, so the level of reportage that has been generated doesn't seem to me to indicate the event is one to have impact on society. I don't want to get into the rights and wrongs of that, but for me this incident, while a tragic one, hasn't generated a level of interest which would for me indicate it meets the relevant guidance and policies. Hiding T 19:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, maybe we will just have to respectfully disagree. For me, this article: [41] is what swings it for me. It is NOT a local paper, and it covers information not in the original L.A. times article--including the wrongful death suit, and discussion of how this one death fits into a broader framework of problems and activism.

  • Comment I just added some material to the page, utilizing some of the sources I mentioned, and found another source although it is not particularly good for arguing notability. I will add more later. I think this article is salvageable, however--I haven't even begun using the original L.A. times article. Cazort (talk) 16:32, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak keep/move I hate these. Clearly passes WP:N and WP:BIO (neither of which say anything about local sources btw). NOT#NEWS is the obvious issue here. It was picked up by a number of specialized organizations that generate news coverage. So I'd say follow the advice we get for notnews and cover the event and not the person. It's just past NEWS in my opinion and has wide enough coverage that someone might come here looking to learn about the event. Hobit (talk) 23:20, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If the capitalist and overtly conservative news sources like the Wall Street Journal, New York Post, Fox News (or pretty much anything Murdoch-owned); the Washington Times, and World Net Daily are reliable, then so are the news sources from the equally hard opposite end of the political spectrum. If we disallow leftist/socialist websites, then conservative rags like the WSJ and Washington Times are also no longer valid to use. It would be a mockery of NPOV otherwise. I've never believed that sourcing should be non-regional. That said, there's enough sourcing to keep. rootology (C)(T) 13:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think anyone is arguing anything about capitalism and other aspects of the political spectrum. The argument is actually turning on whether this person's death, no matter how tragic, is something we should note in Wikipedia. Yes, that sentence sounds heartless, but it is working out how to balance these things up. If we want to talk about boases, I'm wondering how we judge that this persons death is of more value than any other persons death. That's the crucial turning point. Is it just that the death is covered in a small number of sources, because if that is the case, what are the implications? Hiding T 09:29, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • My comment about the politics was in response to Secret's saying we should not us "biased sources which called cops as 'pigs'" which would fly in the face of NPOV. He's basically, in this nomination, elevating his own political views above WP:N and WP:NPOV, which is inappropriate. rootology (C)(T) 14:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I totally did not pick up on that. My apologies. Hiding T 21:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be very hard to argue that Brunston's death should not be noted/included in wikipedia. The question is just...how/where? This discussion is about whether Brunston should have a page. Hobit (and I would tend to agree with this somewhat) suggested that it might be better to cover the event, not the person--the lack of any sort of biographical information in reliable sources seems to back this up. Cazort (talk) 14:53, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not finding it that hard to argue the point. Are you suggesting we record every instance of wrongful death at the hands of the police? I'm not sure of the implications of that.Once you extend that across the globe, to avoid systemic bias... Hiding T 21:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah... even if it was only those deaths questioned by major national newspapers in their main sections, which would of course exclude this, I think that would be pretty questionable. Nevard (talk) 02:38, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think wikipedia should include every instance of wrongful death at the hands of police that has had an extensive article written in an international socialist newspaper about the instance, several years after the death, in addition to whatever coverage it had in the local paper at the time of the occurrence. These papers do not indiscriminately cover all people wrongly killed by police...if they did they'd have no room for their other content! Deandre Brunston may not be anywhere near as big a symbol as Rodney King, but he is still a symbol. These two articles alone, in my opinion, make the event meet WP:N even if the person is not notable enough to justify a bio. If you want to delete this page, I can respect that decision even though I'd personally prefer to keep it. But excluding the whole event from mention anywhere on wikipedia...I want to ask...why would you even want to do that? What would be gained? That's an extreme measure that I do not think other editors would support. Cazort (talk) 14:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Since it can be sourced to the original fiction, it isn't OR. It's not about the plot, though it shows up as background, as it should. The individual ships are not notable, so a combination article on them is appropriate. Personally, I couldn't care less about this series, which I have never read and never intend to read, but I see this as an attack on all articles on elements of fiction. It may succeed, because typically only those who care about the particular fiction pay much attention to the AfDs, while the reason for opposing is general.

    I'm all-for appropriate levels of coverage of all types of fiction. However, this sort of stuff is plot-regurgitation motivated by mere fan enthusiasm. There do not appear to be sources establishing the notability of the books themselves! Just because something is important to someone does not make it important. Genuine notability — of the significant depth of coverage in multiple independent reliable sources kind — is our approximation of a test for 'Importance'. I believe that this project should focus on the important stuff, and that weeding-out the junk is essential to the core goals of this project. I'm all for coverage of fiction in depth if serious people have stood up and taken serious note. Cheers, Jack Merridew 03:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    If there is significant content, I will revert, and we continue the discussion on the talk pages of the articles concerned. As it conveniently happens, there are good secondary sources about that universe also--probably better ones, as its quite popular among academics. Geo, it's risky to raise something like this at an afd, because it tends to produce this sort of response: let's get rid of any thing else that might happen to help the other side of the argument.

    I just looked at HMS Lydia and it seems to have an independent source. This seems reasonable given that Forester's not Weber. And I agree with DGG that more and better sources are likely to exist for the Lydia. This is, in fact, an excellent example of the difference; only one fictional realm is genuinely notable and warrants more than basic coverage.

One editor's inability to determine notability is not sufficient reason for a prod. PRODding of articles should only happen in cases where a deletion would be uncontroversial.

MQS, you wrote:
  • Strangely, Google is not the ONLY search engine available to Wikipedians.
Your sarcasm is not appreciated. While Google is not the only search engine, it is generally regarded as the single most comprehensive (free) one. Doing all-dates news archive search plus a web search indicates sufficient good faith so as not to be the target of snide remarks.
You continued:
  • [M]ore than simply being "listed", she is the recipient of an award from "Who's Who Among America's Teachers". Not just a listing, but an award.
The source of this—a promotional blurb—is hardly reliable. And if actually read the text in the source, it appears that it is no more than a listing (people do not receive a notable "award" multiple years in a row, and it refers to "appear"ing as the consequence of the award):
In 2003-2004, Mrs. Collins was the recipient of the "Who's Who Among America's Teachers" award and appears in the 8th edition. She was again nominated for this award and will appear in the 9th edition as well.

I have re-stiched the pieces, as what I said and how I said it is something that does not itself require editing simply to accomodate your responses. And no sarcasm was intended, just a reminder inre your earlier sourcing remark to say I understand that Wikipedia recognizes that Google has limitations and is not the only search engine available. Wiki lists a few of the many online engines, and gladly accepts hardcopy sources such as public libraries (where that Who's Who Among America's Teachers can be found and her award verified). I should have said just that and not allowed for any misinterpretation. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 02:21, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, no matter how much good faith I can muster, there is no way to interpret a "Strangely" before a blindingly obvious statement as other than sarcastic. Bongomatic 02:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, it's not because Who's Who Among America's Teachers is not online that I question the likelihood of the subject's being granted an "award", it's because the claim itself (which is in a promotional context) and the nature of the book (which can be established here, for example) lead to the presumption of a directory entry. If a Wikipedia editor claimed to have read the book and identified that the "award" was bona fide it would be a different matter.

Basically a research paper/treaste with lots of POV and no real footnotes. Instead it has a list of sources. Everything salvagable is covered in Eastern Front (World War II), History_of_the_Soviet_Union_(1927–1953) and other places. User:Woohookitty Diamming fool! 09:13, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we need to keep this as a redirect. People are highly unlikely to type the whole term in the search box, enough to get an exact match. Cazort (talk) 14:33, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree: due to the new auto-complete feature in the search box, if you typed in "Russian military", the rest of the phrase would appear. So a redirect would be a useful -- & enticing -- thing. -- llywrch (talk) 21:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you, and I change my recommendation from Keep to Merge and Redirect, although I think looking at the size of that section, as a separate matter, I would recommend to Split the section on pejorative uses into its own page, and make a paragraph on it about the term "Mickey Mouse country".

Google searching for news hits shows that there are at least two other people of the same name (including an FBI lab supervisor who might meet WP:BIO herself).

Comment I think lists should be avoided whenever possible, and when possible, converted to prose. In the spirit of this, could we consider moving/renaming this article to URL Redirection Service? This way it would not be so much of a concern if there were only a couple members...the article could describe what such a service is, and then could discuss various sites that provide these services, together with their history, features, etc. Thoughts?

    • Comment - @ Cazort. We already have URL redirection#Services. But I disagree strongly with the comment about avoiding lists. Per WP:CLN, lists are a valid navigational aid and are complementary to other navigational aids. I think we should have a list (as long as it's longer than one item) and and article discussing the topic. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  23:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I tollay agree with you that in some cases lists are fine. I think a prerequisite for a list, however, is having (a) enough items for the list to be meaningful, and (b) enough items notable enough to be included in the list, but not notable enough to have their own article (i.e. if all items in the list have their own article, a category is more appropriate). This article I think fails (a). Cazort (talk) 00:21, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm finding few academic sources, two acknowledgments but no content: [66], [67]. However, I am finding a moderate amount of coverage in news sources. It appears he is not notable so much as a teacher but is notable as an activist: [68], all google news archive articles: [69]. This is enough to adequately source the article, I think. We might have to remove a few parts. I think this needs cleanup, not deletion. Cazort (talk) 14:47, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Notable as an activist, similar level of notability as other native culture activists see for example Native American activists. This entry serves to help round out the category Welsh Activists.

  • Keep - In most cases, a serial killer is notable for one event - being a serial killer. See Category:American serial killers. George Russell has received sufficient coverage (see Ghits here), coverage in multiple books on serial killers [70] and some scholarly works [71]. In addition, he was cited as the example of how the demographic profile of serial killers changed in the 1990s, which is beyond the crime itself and does therefore meet WP:N/CA#Perpetrators.

Relisted per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 April 17.</admin><editor> I personally feel that this list violates WP:NPOV and introduces systemic bias. What constitutes "unusual" is inherently not neutral. Aervanath (talk) 04:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I agree with nominator, plain and simple. Drmies (talk) 04:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - violates WP:OR and WP:NPOV as what is "unusual" in one country or even region is usual or the norm in another. The "centralized discussion" is unpersuasive that consensus has supposedly changed for these subjective "unusual" lists, as many of the comments there boil down to "generally I think these are not a great idea but there's one I do like." Otto4711 (talk) 05:21, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The list is thoroughly backed by reliable and verifiable sources to support the claim of notability. This is the English Wikipedia, and the definition of unusual is based on the speakers of this language as documented by reliable and verifiable sources, all of which conclusively rebuts claims of WP:NPOV or WP:OR. Alansohn (talk) 05:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the reasons stated by Alansohn. Krakatoa (talk) 06:24, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, what is an "unusual" name? Deciding what to include will be inherently subjective and therefore POV. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
    Nope. It's verifiable, and not editor POV in this case. The references make that rather clear. - jc37 07:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    So who decides what's unusual? If someone decides that "New York" is a strange name for a place, and publishes that on their personal website, does that mean we should include it? Note that many of the sources presented here appear to be little more than personal homepages. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
    You mean like this one which list another book as reference here? Looks to me more like a situation where perhaps some cleanup might be needed.
    Are you suggesting that there are no sources anywhere for this topic, and thus the topic is unverifiable?
    Anyway, to answer your question, if a reliable source does. - jc37 08:10, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I'm talking more like this one. And you've sort of dodged my question - what standard of inclusion do we have? Are "Medicine Hat" or "Wooloomooloo" unusual names, for example? And does the place name have to be listed as unusual? Would an article entitled "Slightly odd place names in Mongolia" qualify an article? What about a place name in English that sounds plain to a native speaker, but sounds like profanity in a foreign language? There are plenty of places were inclusion could get contentious, and I'm not really convinced that enough serious study has been done on this topic for "reliable sources" to actually exist. Lankiveil (speak to me) 08:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
    I wasn't dodging your question. It's what I said: reliable sources. Neither you or I get to decide what's "unusual".
    The closest we might get is we could make a determination like: Since this is the English language Wikipedia, we perhaps should restrict this list to such places in which the places generally have English language place names.
    But honestly, I'm wary and hesitant of even that. - jc37 08:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - referenced, and therefore, in this case, verifiable. It's not OR, and NPOV is followed, since "unusual" in this case is according to the sources. - jc37 07:51, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Whether something is unusual is determined by the sources (not individual editors) and they need to be reliable as always. (So personal websites don't count). It's easy enough to restrict it to the English language since we're an English-language publication. - Mgm|(talk) 10:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, there is nothing OR about such a list when the criterium is that such places are covered by sources because their name supposedly is unusual. We just combine information from multiple sources, which is what we do all over wikipedia. --Reinoutr (talk) 11:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Alansohn and Reinoutr. Owen× ☎ 11:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and overhaul. As we've seen with list of unusual personal names this information can be presented encyclopedicly and can be an interesting, if somewhat frivolous, read. Explaining some of the reasons why different groups see the place names as unusual and perhaps turning this into the lede for a list of notable places with names considered unusual may be a way to go. These are fixable problems. -- Banjeboi 13:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as inherently POV and a magnet for nonsense. Stifle (talk) 15:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The general principle behind this article and similar ones was discussed recently(ish) at Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/lists of unusual things and the consensus of that discussion was that there is nothing in the policies cited above by those supporting deletion that states that "lists of unusual things" in themselves are deletion-worthy. To summarise the argument, it is that "unusual" is simply shorthand for "has been regarded by at least one reliable source as being unusual" and is a necessary shorthand for an article title - this was supported by a good majority of the contributors to the discussion. If there are other reasons why this particular article is deletion-worthy, let's discuss them. A discussion on issue which have already been resolved in the centralised discussion is not going to move us forward. SP-KP (talk) 17:02, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep there are multiple sources explaining why certain names are considered unusual from various perspectives. DGG (talk) 18:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Unusual to whom, in what time period and at what location? What happens when things once considered "unusual" become usual? The attempt to define "unusualness" in this article is particularly lame. Let's break it down 1. "Names with unorthodox spelling or sound." Well, that's oddly discursive because, of course, "unorthodox" spelling and sound is in the eye of the beholder -- is in fact, a stand-in for "unusual" in this case. 2." Names which are extremely short (e.g., one-letter names) or extremely long." Extremely long, eh? Extremely short, eh? Well, where? Lots of shortish names in lots of countries that are bog-standard in those places. 3. "Names that describe something that is commonly not a geographical location." Let me translate that sentence -- "names that are not usually used to describe a geographical location are in fact considered unusual." Discursive again, with the added problem of defining what "things" are not "commonly geographical locations." 4. "Calendar related names." This one is just odd -- if there is a January, Texas, why is that any more usual or unusual than Paris, Texas or anything else? That's just an assertion. Finally, there are no examples of any of these supposedly unusual place names here (though i'm personally delighted there aren't). So what is the point of this article again? All it seems to say (in a fashion all dressed up to go to the prom) is the following: "By some standards used by some people in some places names, some place names are considered to be unusual. Which names are considered unusual vary by location and point in history." How is that an encyclopedic topic? By all mean redirect to Toponymy after deletion.Bali ultimate (talk) 19:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:55, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment "Substantial coverage in reliable independent sources" doesn't actually hold much water here: I can find an infinite number of reliable sources naming people as terrorists, but yet no one would ever countenance a List of terrorists, because it's inherently NPOV. Just because something has been labeled by an outside source doesn't mean the label is NPOV, it just means we're reflecting the POV of the outside sources, which is not what we should be doing.--Aervanath (talk) 05:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Are you equating the word unusual with the loaded worded terrorist? I see your point to some extent, but we have lists of political prisoners. We use sources (presumably) to determine which ones are political prisoners. In the country of imprisonment most are probably charged with crimes. Are we being POV? But this isn't really a political issue so much as an issue of "I don't like it" for many Wikipedians and some legitimate concerns about synthesis. My conclusion is that as long as we stick to reliable sources, there's not a big problem with synthesis. Sadly, as a side note, a helpful list of subjects related to Obama was just deleted. So in that case Wikipedia and POV politics clearly played a large role. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:36, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Of course I'm not equating "unusual" with "terrorism". What I'm saying is: just because one outside source has a POV that something is unusual, that doesn't mean that we need to list it. For a less emotionally-charged label, lets take Comic strips considered stupid. I could probably find a whole rash of outside, reliable sources that were of the opinion that various comic strips were dumb, but that doesn't mean we need to reflect that POV.--Aervanath (talk) 16:28, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Talk is cheap. Here's a stack of books about unusual place names that I found in a minute of searching. You won't find your comic strip idea so easy to source.

List of unusual personal names[edit]

AfDs for this article:
List of unusual personal names (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Relisted per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 April 17.</admin><editor> I personally feel that this list violates WP:NPOV and introduces systemic bias. What constitutes "unusual" is inherently not neutral. Aervanath (talk) 04:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: In addition to the above listed Afds, there was also Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/List of unusual personal names.--Aervanath (talk) 04:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. BTW, the above referenced AfD is quite insightful. If I cite policy here no more than the folks did back in 05, it's cause I agree completely with nominator. Drmies (talk) 04:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - violates WP:OR and WP:NPOV as what is "unusual" in one country or even region is usual or the norm in another. The "centralized discussion" is unpersuasive that consensus has supposedly changed for these subjective "unusual" lists, as many of the comments there boil down to "generally I think these are not a great idea but there's one I do like." Otto4711 (talk) 05:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The list is thoroughly backed by several dozen reliable and verifiable sources to support the claim of notability. This is the English Wikipedia, and the definition of unusual is based on the speakers of this language as documented by reliable and verifiable sources, all of which conclusively rebuts claims of WP:NPOV or WP:OR. Alansohn (talk) 05:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per the reasons stated by Alansohn. This article is considerably better sourced than the average article on Wikipedia. Krakatoa (talk) 06:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, what is an "unusual" name? Deciding what to include will be inherently subjective and therefore POV. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:49, 23 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
  • Keep - referenced, and therefore, in this case, verifiable. It's not OR, and NPOV is followed, since "unusual" in this case is according to the sources. - jc37 07:53, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Alansohn. Whether something is unusual is determined by the sources and language is a non-issue since we're talking in the English language Wikipedia. - Mgm|(talk) 10:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, there is nothing OR about such a list when the criterium is that these people are covered by sources because their name supposedly is unusual. We just combine information from multiple sources, which is what we do all over wikipedia. --Reinoutr (talk) 11:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but with most strict assessment of notability of persons with unusual personal names in article. A person with an unusual personal name is not notable per GNG. A person who has received however much media attention solely for having an unusual personal name is "ONEEVENT" still not notable. See: that wee lass in New Zealand; Napoleon Einstein--Shirt58 (talk) 11:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sorry but Delete, this article will never meet WP:NPOV and be properly sourced, the sources themseleves are whom the news reporters think that it's an unusual and interesting name. Opinionated articles and news sources aren't really reliable. Secret account 13:47, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as inherently POV and a magnet for nonsense. Stifle (talk) 15:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The general principle behind this article and similar ones was discussed recently(ish) at Wikipedia talk:Centralized discussion/lists of unusual things and the consensus of that discussion was that there is nothing in the policies cited above by those supporting deletion that states that "lists of unusual things" in themselves are deletion-worthy. To summarise the argument, it is that "unusual" is simply shorthand for "has been regarded by at least one reliable source as being unusual" and is a necessary shorthand for an article title - this was supported by a good majority of the contributors to the discussion. If there are other reasons why this particular article is deletion-worthy, let's discuss them. A discussion on issue which have already been resolved in the centralised discussion is not going to move us forward. SP-KP (talk) 17:01, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There are numerous books and encyclopedias which list unusual names of this sort and so the notability of the topic is evident. Colonel Warden (talk) 17:52, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This article has an inherent NPOV problem since there is no objective criterion for "unusuallness". The references do not actually demonstrate that a name is unusual, but rather that some particular group or person thinks they are unusual. If kept, it would have to be renamed as "List of personal names various individuals believe are unusual", in which case it would clearly be an indiscriminate collection of information. Locke9k (talk) 18:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete inherently unverifiable and unsourceable since there is no global standard for "unusuallness" (in fact many things that are unusual in one place are common in others) and we're supposed to be writing a globally focused encyclopedia. The article as it stands is sort of incoherent -- Armand Hammer's name is included because it was made up by his parents; "Christine Daaé" is included because she chose to name herself after a phantom of the opera character (name itself doesnt' seem weird to me); "Joker Arroyo" is particularly misplaced -- it's his nickname, and pinoys love silly nicknames. I used to know a brother and sister named Pepper and Ginger Tahanke, whose grandfather was an ex-supreme court justice named Ding Dong Tahanke -- and no one in the philippines thinks any of this is unusual at all; Lindsay Ann Crouse, which is about as plain vanilla a name as one can find, is included because her parents allegedly had an unusual reason for giving her this name; and on it goes.Bali ultimate (talk) 20:11, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - It meets the notability standards. The article isn't defining what's unusual - it's merely commenting on places considered unusual. This is objective enough for me. Zain Ebrahim (talk) 21:18, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Multiple available sources. Mencken has an entire chapter on it, and there are many later works. Individual dispubted entries can be discussed on the talk p. as usual. if we deleted all pages about which something was in dispute, there would be nothing of much importance left. I note the previous nomination was only 3 months ago. DGG (talk) 21:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: There is obviously no clear definition of what is 'usual' or 'normal', but there is a common knowledge of what definitely is or isnt. Few things on that list would be in the grey area - the name with 1000 letters, Dick Assman and Jesus Christ would all be considered 'unusual' by the majority of the population. At the very least, -- NPOV rules should help create a good article, not prevent a good one from being written. --Carbon Rodney 00:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not neutral as there is no standard for 'Unusual' It is simply a list of names that some people think funny. Trevor Marron (talk) 00:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. ChildofMidnight (talk) 04:56, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment "Substantial coverage in reliable independent sources" doesn't actually hold much water here: I can find an infinite number of reliable sources naming people as terrorists, but yet no one would ever countenance a List of terrorists, because it's inherently NPOV. Just because something has been labeled by an outside source doesn't mean the label is NPOV, it just means we're reflecting the POV of the outside sources, which is not what we should be doing.--Aervanath (talk) 05:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please see List of designated terrorist organizations. Also please see List of rivers by length. The latter has numerous difficulties of definition and measurement, as it explains, but it prospers nonetheless. Our articles are not required to be perfect and this article on names seems better than most. Colonel Warden (talk) 06:37, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also see WP:NPOV - that policy requires that where multiple or conflicting perspectives exist within a topic, each should be presented fairly without giving undue weight to a certain viewpoint. If you find reliable sources stating that some of these place names are not unusual, we'd gladly give weight to those sources' viepoints. Zain Ebrahim (talk) 07:42, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further Comment I would argue that the discussion has concatenated two discrete questions, the first question being "Should this article itself be in Wikipedia?" (the point of contention in this AfD), and a second question, "Will the article's content be completely unmanageable?".
    I wholeheartedly agree that the content of the article will always have ongoing WP:OR, WP:NPOV, WP:NOTE and more problems. As Stifle so concisely said: it will be "a magnet for nonsense." Howsoever valid in and of themselves these discussion points are, they address that second question, which is not the point of contention in this AfD.
    So, back to first question: "Should this article itself be in Wikipedia?". With greatest respect to the (delete) participants, yes, there is no global or objective or [[WP:Unusual]] policy on what is "unusual". I would strongly suggest that what is "unusual" is independent of WP:POV. As Alansohn, Reinoutr, and other (keep) participants wrote, criteria for unusualness is extrinsic, and is to be founded on the reliable references for that something unusual.--Shirt58 (talk) 13:51, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete as inherantly POV. What one source says is "unusual" another might say is perfectly normal. At best we can say "these names may or may not be unusual", and Wikipedia isn't a place for speculation. These names would need to be universally cited as unusual. Where I come from the name Mohammad is unusual, but its one of the most common names in the world. We can't be making judgement calls in our articles. A meta-topic such as "the compilation of lists of unusual personal names", while nonnotable, at least has a degree of objectivity to it as the topic would objectively look at both sides of the issue. Diving straight in to this topic is akin to having an article named "list of funny-looking people" and include everybody who was called funny-looking in the news. Can this work the other way? Can we have the article List of normal personal names and cite every name which has been called normal in reliable sources? That would be the case through the same line of reasoning by those arguing to keep this list, yet this example highlights the problems of POV articles. We can have one for each opinion on every topic, and none of them would amount to anything more than hearsay. ThemFromSpace 06:47, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Up to this point, the main arguments for deletion are that this is original research and that it violates a neutral point of view. For the OR claim, I would kindly ask someone to explain how this is original research. I do not see any "unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position" in this list of names. If any of the names can't be sourced, they should be removed. The topic of "unusual names" is by no means original research, as a quick Gbooks, Gscholar, Gnews search for "unusual name" would seem to indicate. For the NPOV claim, I agree that adjectives like "unusual" can be inherently subjective, thus lending themselves to a non-neutral point of view. This is easily fixed by either renaming the article to something more specific, or simply defining what "unusual" means for the purposes of the list. Since other cultures and languages have very different criteria for "unusual" names, we also need to limit this to English-speaking cultures. (For example "Jesus" (Jesús) is actually a very common name in Spanish-speaking cultures.) So, first I would move the article to List of personal names considered unusual in English-speaking cultures (hopefully someone can think up a more concise title), and then in the lead sentence define the constraints of the list. Something like: "This is a list of personal names normally considered unusual in English speaking cultures. For the purposes of this list, an unusual name is defined as a name based on or the same as an organization, company, website, fictional character, product, place, or country, or names which are common words not normally used as first names in English, names that intentionally contain a meaningful phrase, names adopted or given as a form of political protest or for publicity reasons, names which read as a double entendre, names which have received media attention for their length (long or short), names based on numbers or symbols, and palindromic names". Giving the article clear constraints like that and requiring all entries to be sourced should take care of all the problems as I see it. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  21:57, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Prince Remigius Jerry Kanagarajah[edit]

AfDs for this article:
Prince Remigius Jerry Kanagarajah (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Procedural nomination. An editor has requested here that this article be deleted. To quote: "Hi. I would like to request the page for Prince Remigius Jerry Kanagarajah is removed. There has been no Sri Lankan royal family since the 1600s, the country is in a serious civil war, and that someone has put a page up claiming there is a prince, when the only sources are dodgy websites, and a cheesy low budget BBC tv show, its in very poor taste and is quite offensive. The article does not further wikipedia as the person seems to have achieved no serious accomplishments, and his importance is not obvious as he has no political power, and no recognition in the sri lankan community, or the rest of the world for that matter. Frankly I think its disguisting self promotion - more of a personal page than an encyclopaedic entry." Skomorokh 02:42, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Skomorokh I'm completely with you on this, but for your interest, the kings of Kandy (Kingdom of Kandy) ruled until 1815, so there has been a Sri Lankan royal family since the 1600s. But yes, there haven't been any kings or princes of Jaffna since 1619 CE yet Mr Kanagarajah still claims to be one of them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.141.100 (talk) 10:35, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, just to clarify, I made this nomination on behalf of another editor, User:Shuggyg, who posted the above-quoted request for deletion here. Regards, Skomorokh 10:41, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I can only find one "legitimate" reference to this name, and that's in the Sunday Mirror[74], hardly the pinnacle of WP:RS. This article demonstrates that not even royalty are inherently notable. Pburka (talk) 02:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There have been no kings of Jaffna since 1619 CE. It is absurd for someone to lay claim to a title that became extinct nearly 400 years ago. Furthermore, Sri Lanka is a Democratic Socialist Republic - and therefore does not recognise titles of nobility, let alone extinct ones from several centuries ago. In addition, Mr Kanagarajah has not been able to produce a complete family tree tracing father-son descent from any of the Arya Chakravarti kings, rendering his claim even more tenuous. An individual's decision to lay claim to a title that has ceased to exist for several centuries by constructing a website does not warrant a wikipedia article let alone an article that by its title appears to recognise his claim to the dubious title "Prince". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.165.55 (talk) 04:28, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This page is simple vanity. I would suggest the page should be renamed to Remigius Jerry Kanagarajah and should remain as a record of the vanity and embarrasing ego of one man, however I believe the issue is very sensitive due to the upheaval in Sri Lanka. This page has no robust evidentiary support, and appearing on a low budget BBC entertainment TV show alone is not noteworthy enough to warrant an encylopeadic entry.Shuggyg (talk) 09:50, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, as risable and unintentionally amusing as the program was, it was a low-budget reality TV show originally broadcast on BBC3.
  • Furthermore, irrespective of whether or not Mr Kanagarajah warrants his own wikipedia page, I strongly suggest removing "Prince" from the page's title. As his claim to the title is highly controversial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.165.55 (talk) 09:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Appears to be nothing about him in the news- even specifically searching English-language sources from Sri Lanka. Nothing about him on Google book search either, despite the fact that there has been a lot written by academics about the civil war and upheaval in Sri Lanka. Non-notable pretender. --Clay Collier (talk) 07:09, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Also, this article is a constant target of self-promoting vandalism, look at the current version of the page. No matter how many times admins revert changes, individuals with an agenda vandalise the page: styling Mr Kanagarajah as "H.R.H." and replacing neutral phrases like "claims to be" to "is" and other such nonsense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.101.138.253 (talk) 11:01, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is largely the same reason I gave at the last AFD, which concluded without consensus. There are only ~50 unique google hits for this guy, and the only remotely good sources are a biogrphy from from The Nation, an advertisement from The Independent, and the reality show mentioned here many times. I don't believe being on a reality show alone makes him notable, so the only source that might demonstrate his notability is The Nation. But given that newspaper's greater than normal biases, the complete lack of transparency on its editorial process, and some very questionable publications it has produced, I wouldn't consider it a reliable source. So there has been no substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources. There has been substantial coverage in one dubious source, a low budget entertainment piece from another source, and an advertisement from a third source. These are apparently the only times this man has ever been mentioned outside of blogs and his own writings, or trivial lists of "exiled royalty" on unreliable websites.

fails notability per WP:MUSIC. Unreleased demo song. Paul75 (talk) 03:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for now - The article asserts individual notability for this song (It is considered by many to be the 'Holy Grail' of unreleased ABBA recordings), which is a valid reason for keeping it per WP:NSONGS if that can be verified with reliable sources. Additionally, the article already contains enough material for a full article-- it shouldn't be merged just for being a stub. So, in conclusion, I think the problem is finding references to verify the material and notability of the song. Remember there's no WP:DEADLINE.

  • Comment - This is an interesting case, although I am inclined to agree with LinguistAtLarge, regarding keep for now. There is clearly a lot of information about this song, and if it can be sourced to multiple reliable sources, then the topic meets WP:NOTE.

  • Comment it is incredibly poorly sourced, with two references for the entire article.

Women Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame[edit]

Women Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

This is a content fork and no references or indication of the notability of this topic is given. I'm not really a fan of these gender/race/nationality split lists, especially in cases like this. Why not Canadians or Germans or posthumous inductees. Hell, why not "Metal acts inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame", since it has received far more coverage. We have a List of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees (and it's a pretty good list, if I do say so myself), so why are splits needed?

Also, I believe the lead misrepresents the article. It declares that it is notable because "only a relative handful of women have been inducted", thus insinuating that women have been snubbed. This is untrue since almost every year has seen at least one inductee and is 50 really a handful?

  • So? How does the Grammys splitting their categories by gender relate to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Why not start a "women in Rock and Roll" page instead? The Grammies also split their awards by genre, so should there by "Reggae artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" or "Hip hop artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" (in fact, the latter has generated a lot more controversy and discussion, but it still is rather unnecessary. -- Scorpion0422 23:13, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would be happy to debate the inclusion of these pages should another editor choose to create them. )Genre and gender both provide distinction within award-giving in the recording industry.) However, I would prefer to debate the viability of this specific page. The assertion that the inclusion of hip-hop artists has created more controversy than the inclusion of female artists is unfounded and undocumented. the exclusion of both categories of artists has been fodder for the press. I doubt one could assert the disinclusion of one group as greater than the other. --Rytch303 (talk) 23:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Though the raw data for this list is (mostly) available in the original Rock Hall article, grouping inductees by gender brings a lens that illuminates the subject differently. Its usefulness is distinct from the original article because this grouping promotes analysis of a trend, highlighting the rate at which female artists were inducted. It served me as a useful roster that I didn’t have to recreate on my own.

Specifically, I’m a grad student currently working on a paper about the historiography of Rock and related genres. I referred to this list several times for the section about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s role in canonizing who rates as a “Rock Legend”. Gender absolutely matters in Rock and Roll, so much so that the comparison to other subcategories is insulting. Gender is a primary lens through which artists in the Rock genre are regarded, given the nature of rock culture and history. When and how the Rock Hall chooses to (or chooses not to) induct female artists has crucial influence on the perception that women are significant in shaping the music. That influence makes this list noteable.

Several other “Women in…” articles have been created as companions to the list of all honorees (List of Olympic medalists in athletics (women), List of female state governors in the United States, List of U.S. military vessels named after women...). Actually, what I would like to see in the article is a broader discussion of controversies surrounding the in/exclusion of women from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The list implies that there is a significant discrepancy, but it could flesh that idea out more frankly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wndergirl (talk • contribs) 02:43, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note: User blocked as a sock puppet of Rytch303 (talk · contribs).
In the case of List of Olympic medalists in athletics (women), it's a length issue. There are so many medalists, that the page had to be split and gender was the most logical choice. There is also a List of Olympic medalists in athletics (men). In List of female state governors in the United States is a list where that data is not available on any other single page. In this case, it pretty much recreates the content already on a single page (AKA content forking). -- Scorpion0422 02:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • So, if another editor were to create a page which named every US governor, would this list be useless? --Rytch303 (talk) 22:53, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Come again? You also have to remember that being Governor of a state is considerably more notable than being in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Like I said above, in the case of the female governors, there is no other single list, so it's not a fork and does have uses. -- Scorpion0422 22:59, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • How are you defining notability? That sounds like a specious argument. --Rytch303 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
  • Per the notability guideline. At the same time, this page is content forking (read the last paragraph of "What forking is") and it does not meet the requirements of the stand-alone list guideline because it pretty much just recreates the content of another page adds very little in the way of original content. Would you be willing to accept the page being redirected to the list of inductees if I put together a system to highlight female inductees? Although I really dislike that idea because even if awards are split by gender (for obvious reasons), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not. And this article suggests that female inductees in the Hall of Fame than any other division and giving it undue weight. -- Scorpion0422 23:13, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The idea that allowing this list means we would allow all such split lists is a fallacy. Consensus determines what we allow, and I'm more than happy to allow this as its existence improves the encyclopedia by offering focussed and significant information to our readers. It's sourced, it's neutral, it's therefore fine. Hiding T 12:44, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Which article are you looking at? I don't see a single source anywhere on the page. -- Scorpion0422 14:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • My mistake. It's sourcable. Hiding T 19:30, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Gender is a significant category in the recording industry, particularly in the arena of award-giving. Other major industry awards such as the Grammys and the American Music Awards are doled out according to gender (not race, national origin, sexual orientation, or other qualities based on the artists themselves that have been suggested by others on this page). As there are separate categories for male artists and female artists in many genres, the recording industry itself must then see gender as a defining category for contemporary music. Similarly, major music magazines and television networks (Rolling Stone, MTV, and VH1) have created notable content around this theme as well. Therefore, the significance of gender (already made notable by the recording industry itself) is reinforced in cultural discourse through articles and programming which further define the unique relationship of gender to contemporary music-making and the recording industry.

While the Rock Hall itself does not make use of gender categorization in its own awards, the fact that gender has become a defining category within the industry means its awards are not immune from interpretation along gender lines. While the gendered structure of the Grammy Awards can create something of a balance between male and female winners, the Hall of Fame Inductees are overwhelmingly male, thereby creating an interesting series of questions about how the Hall itself interprets (or doesn’t interpret) gender as a salient category within the recording industry. (The grad student writing above speaks to this point quite well.) It should, however, be noted that while the Rock Hall does not separate awards by gender, it does promote various programming at its museum around the theme of Women in/and Rock.

As a few editors have argued that this list paves the way for (indeed) ridiculous lists such as lesbians, or Canadians, or Jews, I think the point to remember is that the recording industry itself does not single out categories such as these in terms of award-giving. Gender, however, is a category that has been ensconced into its award-giving history, and therefore makes a valid point of departure from the main list of Hall of Fame inductees.

I have also contacted the Rock Hall (by email) to clarify the question about Zola Taylor as their website indeed leaves the matter up for interpretation. --Rytch303 (talk) 14:59, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried to contact them in the past and gotten no response. So, there are the Juno Awards, which are pretty much solely for Canadian artists, so does not indicate a significant division? So, using your logic, we could start a list of Canadians inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. As well, this isn't an article about women in the Hall of Fame, it's just a content fork and could easily be redirected back to the list. If indicating gender is really necessary, I can put together a system that would indicate women. -- Scorpion0422 15:57, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Junos, like the Grammys, divide awards by gender and also induct artists into its own Canadian Hall of Fame. --Rytch303 (talk) 21:45, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • My argument only concerns the significance of the relationship between gender, the recording industry, and contemporary music-making (as posited by the industry itself). If someone else would like to create another page of Canadians (or Muslims or Asian-Americans), I would be happy to debate its merits. However, for now, it is only this page which is up for debate. The argument that this page opens up the possibility for other (possibly not as appropriate) sub-lists is a tendentious one that assumes the purpose of this page (or other pages like it) have a political motivation instead of one grounded in already extant definitions and strictures made by the recording industry. --Rytch303 (talk) 21:11, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (No not delete) Coverage is not trivial. Major bands have covered it from 1969 to 1990's, possibly later too. Just because a song does not have evidence of charting in the Anglo Western world doesn't mean that it is any less notable. I believe that the song was a hit in Hong Kong for Danny Diaz & The Checkmates. Also a European group may have had a hit with it too. I'm currently looking into that. More than 5 groups have covered the song. BTW: Just to let you know also,There are many songs of notability that have been covered by groups that have not charted.

Charles Kegel[edit]

Charles Kegel (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Interim president of a college, no other citeable facts. MBisanz talk 00:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:PROF: [81] "Dr. Charles H. Kegel served I.S.U. with honor and distinction for 25 years as professor of English, Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, Dean of Faculties, Acting I.S.U. President, and Academic Vice President." JJL (talk) 01:25, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:PROF is about academic honors; being dean, president, etc. are administrative positions. The footnote in WP:PROF that suggests otherwise is misguided. It may be that there are actually reliable sources about Kegel, but there is no sign that his academic credentials would meet the standards listed at WP:PROF. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:34, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment per Criterion 6, he seems to qualify. JJL (talk) 01:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, that's exactly what I am saying. "The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at an academic institution or major academic society." Dean and president are not academic posts, footnote 13 notwithstanding. It's questionable whether every administrator of every academic instrituion is notable, but certainly they are not all notable for their academic achievements, which is what WP:PROF is supposed to be about. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:48, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • comment I'm with Carl on this, acting president for one year doesn't pass WP:PROF in my eyes, The ISU english dept awards a scholarship to one undergrad a term in his name [82], and the Liberal arts building is named after him [83]. I think these go towards WP:BIO rather than WP:PROF. Here is a Google Scholar search. I don't think it shows he passes WP:PROF (h-index 3), but the publications are late 50s/early 60s and in a discipline I know too little to judge. Pete.Hurd (talk) 20:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The scholarship is named after him because he established it in his will; this is what they mean by "This award derives from the Charles Kegel estate ..." I am very interested by the building, though. There are not that many buildings on a college campus, so having one named after you is some sort of award. Unfortunately this all predates the web. I wonder if I can find the local newspaper in a database. — Carl (CBM · talk) 12:45, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • WeakKeep "Acting president" can mean many things, but in this case the additional offices show notability. Next step is no find his academic work, because even for what at the time was not a first rate university, one does not get to be full professor without a something: WorldCat has what would nowadays be considered a marginal amount [84].DGG (talk) 17:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. A Google book search shows that his work on Salinger is impactful, possibly enough for WP:PROF #1. I don't think Google scholar is the right tool for finding citations to humanities studies from the 1950s. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Also possibly meets WP:PROF criterion #8 (editor-in-chief of established journal). He seems to be close to meeting several of the criteria, which one could argue suggests that he meets at least the more general criterion #1.--Eric Yurken (talk) 02:23, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously I appreciate that more rounded articles based on more than just crude numbers should appear, but the articles have only been in existence for less than 24 hours, so possibly time should be given for expansion.

  • Keep Notable enough. COuld always be boldly merged to RTÉ Radio 1. ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Quick note on News at one: really should be moved to title such as "News at One" (RTÉ radio) or something along those lines. Technically it isn't called "RTÉ News at One" and generates a lot more ghits if RTÉ is included outside the title. But regarding merging: both are notable in their own right. Haven't had much of a chance to expand the articles, but one problem I have in the time I have given to looking for online sources regarding the early days of either programme is trying to wade through all the thousands of passing mentions. Another problem, with the News at One especially, is trying to find the online equivalents of the paper sources I know exist (I've read them :)). For example, the programme, when it was launched in the 60s, was the first news programme on Irish radio of its type, rather than a straight news bulletin and has been regarded as the model for later programmes; there is a brief mention of the fact in an obituary of the man credited with the introduction of the programme [86], but there are much more detailed paper sources out there. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 18:44, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability. As seen from the fact that nothing links to this article. Sophie Pyle is not yet notable. Perhaps if this show airs, but it's more likely, this would be a good sub set of a Blonde Charity Mafia article. I wouldn't oppose a merge Arteros (talk) 21:23, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A quick search for her comes up with masses of Twitter, Facebook and other such. Not a good sign. The TV thing hasn't aired yet. Oh dear... Mingling with Hilary Clinton and John Kerry? They are notable, all right. Notability isn't contagious under those circumstances.

Nominated as failing Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies)#Commercial_organizations for being a small (3 people) company that made only one videogame.

  • Keep or Merge; while WP:ONEEVENT does not apply to companies, I understand the reason for wanting to work along similar lines. Analogously to WP:ONEEVENT the solution to this issue is to merge to the article about the event.

Is there a different notability threshold for anime conventions? I would say that an event which attracts only 1000 participants is bound to be non-notable on a world scale. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 05:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Notability is not based on the number of attendees, but on coverage by reliable, third-party sources. An example of a notable convention with less than 1,000 attendees is Tsubasacon. That convention has been covered by both local and national media. But it seems you didn't even look to see if there are any third-party sources. And given the event had ran for 9 consecutive years, there is a good chance that such sources exists. In fact, a Google News search is showing some promising hits. --Farix (Talk) 11:38, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
