The result was Keep Cheers, I'mperator 21:04, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] LG15: The Last[edit]
It is the latest spin-off of the lonelygirl15 web-series, but I can only find one third party source on this, so seems to fail the general WP:NOTABILITY+WP:WEB guidelines. I guess after so many spin off series of the show, people have completely lost interest and nobody even bothers reporting it.--Otterathome (talk) 22:28, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just because one show is notable, spin-offs of it don't automatically bypass WP:NOTABILITY, see WP:NRVE, which is what most of your argument appears to be based on. And it's WP:1E because of the lack of sources. [7] talks about the competition and spin-off's in general and mentions 'The Last' right at the end. And the publish dates between the two articles are February 6, 2009 & January 28, 2009. You'd think since then there'd be more sources? But no, it remains a big WP:1E.--Otterathome (talk) 16:49, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Question - is there a way to report Otterathome to request an investigation in his behavior? If you check the page history, you will see that now that it is obvious we are coming to a compromise, he stopped participating in the actual discussion, and he has instead changed his behavior to trying to discredit supportive posts by inventing a conflicts of interest for Milowent and trying to put the validity of Byronwrites' opinion into question, by flagging him for having "few or no other edits outside this topic". (Given that the same is true for me, and I'm not even registered, it's quite clear he's just attempting to artificially reduce the support a merging effort has.) He is also trying to downplay the significant support the page has in general, by implying in the header the page linked is a plain cry to vote for the page no matter what, while the users actually call for help improving the page:
And then on the next page,
Otterathome is cherry-picking a single post in a thread full of replies trying to improve the page and clearly stating one should explain why to keep, rather than just vote. In addition, the attempt to frame informing people of the deletion is somehow a dishonest attempt to skew the discussion, when, in fact, WP:AFD has an entire section "Notifying interested people" is just plain ridiculous. I believe at this point, not even those of you who support the removal/merging of the page on notability grounds can deny that it is obvious Otterathome has some kind of underlying agenda, rather than the urge to improve Wikipedia. His refusal to discuss merging was telling enough, the fact that he now stopped discussing and resorts to these FUD tactics only underlines it. So...is there some place I can go to have his behavior investigated?

The result was keep. Lack of references is a solvable problem, copyright/spam issues are actively worked on, and claims for and against notability are speculative. Per WP:CSB and the ongoing improvements, this article is kept. Skomorokh 16:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Austriamicrosystems[edit]

AfDs for this article:
Only known for appearing in lonelygirl15 web show, other wiseminor appearances in a number of shows. Fails WP:BIO, WP:NOTABILITY and WP:ENT. So delete and redirect to lonelygirl15. Otterathome (talk) 22:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Keep. This was already nominated for deletion once before and kept. If we're doing another nomination, I ask on what basis are we departing from the prior consensus? Jackson Davis was one of the primary cast members on Longlygirl15, and then the lead character of the Lg15: The Resistance spinoff. I agree that most webseries "stars" do not merit their own article because most series are obscure, but the primary cast members of lonelygirl15 are just as noteworthy as the actors on cable TV shows, e.g., even the minor actors on The Closer (shown on TNT in the U.S.) have their own wikipedia pages. On WP:ENT alone, he has a large female following online, just look at the comments to any of the 100s of videos he appears in online, especially when shirtless. On basic notability criteria, he has been covered by secondary source material such as the newspapers cited in the article. --Milowent (talk) 19:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I see no new reason for this to be nominated for deletion again, after the concussion of the first was to keep. Jackson Davis played a big part in the Lonelygirl15 series which for a while was thought to be real and this alone is notable enough to keep. KindredPhantom (talk) 13:41, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. So far the main arguments I see against deleting it are that 1: It was already kept, and 2: That this person is part of a famous show, and therefore should be kept. If he's that huge of a part of the show, I think there should be more news articles if that is the case. It could be that, given time, that will happen, but right now it doesn't look like it. I'm still looking around for articles, but since most of them are focused on the show, and not on the person, it seems to me that the correct thing to do is to redirect it to the show, and merge any of the important information into that article. And before anyone brings it up, the renomination doesn't bother me because it's been over a year, and the arguments for keep were terrible to begin with. In the intervening 17 months, if there has not been more coverage then a few article about the show, then I think he's not notable, and should only be considered in connection with the main topic. Sodam Yat (talk) 18:58, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It is entirely appropriate to renominate this article for deletion, the closing administrator in the previous AfD felt it necessary to comment that the arguments to keep the article were "thin on policy". That's another way of saying that those who wanted it kept couldn't give a good reason for it. Once again, nobody has given a reason why this person is notable. If you think that he is "historically significant", prove it by finding reliable sources to back up your claim A bunch of people saying "don't delete this because I like it" aren't going to succeed because this isn't a vote. I believe the only reason the last AfD survived was because while those arguing to keep weren't giving a legimitate reason to delete, nobody was giving a legitimate reason to delete either. -- Atamachat 00:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was userfy to User:MPeterHenry/Language of logic. There is consensus here that the article with its current scope and structure is not appropriate for inclusion in the encyclopaedia, but also some agreement that it has value and promise. Skomorokh 16:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Language of logic[edit]
Declined PROD. Very thin essay that deals with material already very well covered at Logic, Formal semantics, and especially First-order logic. The title also promises much more than it gives, in that the entry only makes a small point about first order logic, and not about logic and language in general. Redundant and unnecessary entry.

Autobiography of a radio journalist/presenter.

This nomination by 96.251.79.127 (talk) was incomplete. The edit summary was empty; no reason for deletion was given. From the look of it, the article has been tagged with {{Original research}} and {{Refimprove}} for over a year, and I can see that the discussion page has some suspicious sections like "Probable Copyright Violation", "Please check references" and "Neutrality of this article in question". The nominator has made no other edits outside this topic and I'm not expressing any opinions myself. May qualify for WP:Speedy keep. — Rankiri (talk) 23:51, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sony BMG (2004-2008) was one of the big four music companies globally, with dozens of record label operations in the US and UK, and with local repertoire right across the globe. The company "Sony BMG", through its many label groups and record labels, released 1/4 of the world's music in its existence. I don't see how this page can meaningfully capture the ginormous scope that is Sony BMG. Album pages are classified under their respective labels and label categories. This page also starts in the 80s when it wasn't until 2004 that the company was formed as "Sony BMG", and so I automatically removed the few listings under the 80s and 90s. Moreover 90% of the random listings appear to have no connection to the Sony or BMG labels, in fact, other unrelated companies are indicated in brackets. Therefore this page is completely bogus and is an act of deception/vandalism. Imperatore (talk) 21:03, 1 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The page was created as soapboxing by a user whose sole edits so far are POV pushing on Communism. Every system of government is responsible for many deaths throughout history, I don't see why Communism must be singled out. Furthermore, the deaths that occurred under communism was not genocide.

Delete I don't think a rename would word - what would an article, "Genocide in communist regimes" contain, aside from a list of links to articles about specific such genocides? As the sources produced thus far only discuss connections between these events briefly or in passing, anything other than a mere list of links to otherwise unrelated articles would be either very short, or an OR synthesis. The problem with "Communist genocide" is that it implies that there is a notable academic theory of communist genocide; if "Genocide in communist countries" were to have any content, it would have to make the same claim, and this is precisely the claim that is disputed.VoluntarySlave (talk) 08:45, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An unnecessary POV fork that violates WP:UNDUE. Human Rights Watch is a generally well-regarded NGO that criticizes what it perceives as human rights abuses in various countries. Not surprisingly, some of these countries (and their supporters are not happy about this, and retaliate by questioning HRW's impartiality. The article has allegations of anti-American bias, anti-Israel bias, and anti-Eritrea bias (WTF?) I see no evidence that these criticisms represent a mainstream or consensus view. Those few that are genuinely notable could easily be included in a paragraph or two in the main article. Creating a separate article consisting of nothing but criticism — one that is nearly as long as the main article — is a classic example of undue weight. *** Crotalus *** 16:24, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have a strong opinion on whether the article is possible in principle. Criticism of HRW may be a notable topic, but that is different from some editors declaring it to be notable because they want the article, regardless of what documentable, encyclopedic criticism is actually referencable. The article as it stood was a dumping ground for someone who just wanted to attack HRW. I have now read every reference that was used in the article at the time of this nomination. If you haven't checked the sources as I have, please don't presume to know what was valid or complain about my removals. The article used blogs as sources of fact, it flat out lied about what sources said, it represented an undergraduate opinion piece as the reporting of the publisher, it gave refs that didn't exist, and so on. The section on Eritrea referred to nothing but Eritrea's disagreement with HRW about one HRW report on Eritrea. If that's a basis for inclusion, the article will be an endless, mammoth dumping ground of governments bashing HRW reports about just those specific governments. The examples need to be systemic criticism, and given the politicized, POV-filled nature of the topic, the sourcing needs to be rigorous. I started a list of guiding principles for this article on the Talk page, please contribute to it if you wish. Noloop (talk) 16:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've been thinking more about the idea of a POV fork.

There is no indication the subject of this article meets the WP:Pornbio criteria for notability (a single award nomination is insufficient to achieve notability under those standards), nor do there seem to be any other indications of notability demonstrated within the article. The article is also very poorly sourced, in that virtually none of its contents are sourced; the only info that is sourced is her place of birth, and her nomination for that single award - and in the latter case, the link is dead. Furthermore, this article is distinctly vulgar and unencyclopedic in tone, littered with references to "double penetration," "double anal," "double vaginal," as well as text alluding to the relative size of the penises of the various men she's appeared with.

simply having embassies or being members of the EU does not grant automatic notability. I've checked the first 70 results of this gnews search and almost all is multilateral. the fact they played a football match last year does not add to notability. LibStar (talk) 01:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. PROD was removed with the reason that the incoming links somehow make this a notable concept, despite the lack of reliable sources discussing this type of organization. While such committees certainly do exist, there do not seem to be any sources upon which to base an article, as evidenced by the fact that this has been a one-line stub for more than three years.

There are claims of notability, but the sources do not come close to verifying. Either they are not reliable sources, or the content does not contain any info about the subject. Further google searches show virtually no information about subject (all content scraped from this article), no results for subject in google news. Google also offers very little about the company, IAM. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 14:46, 27 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There are currently 3 people working on this article, it seems no one looks at the talk or discussion pages of the articles anymore these days. Google gives results on IAM INC not IAM. You also get more information by searchig officialiam. Your name is Omar so I am safe to assume you speak arabic, unless you are from a non arab speaking muslim country. THe point of this is that if you search in arabic you are better off with the results. I am wih you on that some sources are unlclear or don't point directly to the point mentioned, yet I am working with the guys on fixing this as I have found better and more reliable sources and I am in touch with the person doing the re-write yet I refused to let them publish it due to minor inaccurcies such as networth which they state as 46-7 which is incorrect as this is the worth of the corporation not the person. I hereby request the page is removed from deletion, given a deadline of 1 month for readjustment and then re-evaluated. — 132.205.243.77 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
I do not agree with deleting this as I am the one who originally wrote the article. If you examine the links properly it is well clear that because the links are old, they seem to have been deleted by the host. I think a site that gives older versions of the webpage could be useful in showing that the information was indeed there. If it was a hoax as one claims, I would have made sure the links are always up to par no. I also do not know what template changes and all the things you cliam are. As for the numbers, the address is in Canada hence it is a Canadian company. A simple and proper search could tell you that. I smarter move would be going to the "company registrar of quebec" and searching the company. If the address is a Canadian address and a company has US numbers for US clients, they are possibly virtual numbers which direct the call to the HQ. Try calling one. I have no idea on the results of your white pages. I have never seen a corporate site write the name of its staff on its website, that would be a bit odd I guess. Yet IAM Inc and its founder are pretty well known here and in Jordan. There are a few videos I have found that tell a lot yet I never knew if they are a source that can be link as I am very new to wikipedia, this was indeed my first article. I agree with the person with no signature, I would remove this from deletion and give me time to re-locate links and other sources that would enhance on this article. Otherwise I would request a speedy deletion until I do it myself and repost it as a new article.
