Bobby B-Skillz Walker[edit]

As revered as "B-Skillz" might be in his youth group, he still is not Wikipedia material. Not notable enough, as they say. Delete. Politoman (talk) 23:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Recommind[edit]

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

This article was originally tagged for speedy deletion as a copyvio of this page, but that allegation appears to me to be unfounded. While a few sentences are similar, it is not a blatant copy/paste job. As for the article, it sounds a little spammy to me and may not meet notability guidelines, but I think it deserves discussion. Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 23:29, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete. Spam or copyvio - take your pick. The lead section consists of (1) a factual statement about the company location - that's ok, but then (2) the Company's own profile (copied verbatim from the "About us" section of the page linked above), and (3) advert-like claims of delivering "powerful solutions" etc. Article has been speedily deleted 4 times already; all five versions were created by the same editor.

Delete, obvious spam and no notability. Haakon (talk) 00:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. The independent mentions by Deloitte and KMWorld, and the minor prizes the company got, seems to edge it to notability. LotLE×talk 01:03, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Easy speedy delete as spam unless someone gives it a total rewrite. Hairhorn (talk) 05:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't that person be you? If you believe that when rewritten the article has a place in an encyclopedia then it should be kept and rewritten, not thrown out because no-one can be bothered rewriting it. Weakopedia (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why should it be me? I'm not interested in facilitating spammers and I haven't a clue whether this is notable or not. Hairhorn (talk) 16:25, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you haven't a clue whether this is notable or not then you should perhaps not have voted on the subject. Weakopedia (talk) 16:45, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An article which is unambiguously spam is eligable for speedy deletion {{db-g11 }} regardless of notability, so whether the subject is notable or not is immaterial. I42 (talk) 17:01, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a subject which is notable only needs to be rewritten to be spam no longer. A quick Google search shows this company and it's award-winning status discussed by the Independant on Sunday, Florida Bar News, Tri-Valley Herald, and online journals such as EarthTimes and International Business Times as well as winning awards with such publications as the Law Technology News. The problem here seems to be more the manner of inclusion than inclusion itself which is something that can be remedied. Weakopedia (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the article is rewritten without the spam or copyright violation before the AfD ends then great - we can reconsider. But no-one is obliged to do it, and no-one has yet. Nor should we keep this version of the article on the off-chance they might. I42 (talk) 19:11, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That is then a failing of this community. You have written more words in this deletion review than were needed to rewrite the article to your liking. Weakopedia (talk) 10:42, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Given that you haven't even touched the entry yourself, I'm not clear on why you're throwing stones. Hairhorn (talk) 14:11, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote that after I had moved a copy of the article to a userpage in order to work on it without causing disruption. Maybe you would like to help. Weakopedia (talk) 15:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rewrite as per Hairhorns suggestion. Weakopedia (talk) 10:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rewrite as per Hairhorns suggestion (2). Well, if this article is to be deleted, I suggest deleting many other biographies in Wikipedia, which seem to have minor importance or is not written acconding to the Wikipedia guidances. Well, instead of deleting I really suggest that someone could edit and adapt it to Wikipedia. Luz del Fuego (talk) 15:17, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, likely speedy delete, unambiguous advertising: Recommind delivers powerful solutions to efficiently and accurately handle electronically stored information for the world’s largest enterprises and law firms. No one's obliged to improve articles about behind the scenes tech firms, either. It's not like we'd be missing anything if we denied them a platform. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:56, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Provisional delete. I had tagged the article as advert. The guys that founded this company are also the brains behind probabilistic latent semantic analysis, which was created by the good-standing editor User:Rama. I've contacted him to ask if he wants clean-up this article, but no reply so far. The company is notable [1], [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] but the article needs a total rewrite, and I'm not volunteering because I don't know much about it. They actually make search products for legal firms, e-discovery and the like. Pcap ping 16:52, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - as Pcap observes, this company is notable. The article is written in a promotional manner, but lack of neutrality is not by itself grounds for deletion; it just means it should be rewritten from a more neutral point of view. Robofish (talk) 02:34, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In fact overtly promotional language that would require a total rewrite is grounds for speedy deletion, no matter how notable the company. Anyone is welcome to rewrite the entry, but there is no requirement to keep it hanging around waiting for that to happen. Hairhorn (talk) 04:56, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable band. A Google News Archive search returns no results. This band appears to fail Wikipedia:Notability (music). I will withdraw this AfD if sources can be found. Cunard (talk) 22:53, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Supernatural (TV series)[edit]

Delete, it is a low budget TV show which has an article that is rarely updated and is unnotable as its an unpopular TV show. ToxicWasteGrounds (talk) 21:40, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very strong keep. The article is extensively sourced with reliable secondary sources. —C.Fred (talk) 22:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. This is a good article (it has 198 solid references! How can this topic be considered "unnotable"?), and the subject is clearly notable. It also appears to be frequently updated -- going back 500 contributions on its history only takes you to September, 2009. I have no idea why this article would be deleted, and might go so far as to suggest that the nominator read up on what constitutes notability in the future before submitting anything to AFD. This makes no sense. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 22:26, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Very strong keep. This seems to be a spurious request for deletion with malicious intent. It's a 5th season TV series on a major US network, being broadcast internationally on several continents, and is generally about as notable as currently running TV shows can get. This delete suggestion is nonsense. JZ (talk) 22:29, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I think it's important to clarify if she's notable as a poet, an artist, an academic, all.... I have doubts about her notability as a poet, as there is no mention of any major journals, anthologies or well-known awards that one would expect of an established poet....More comments should be solicited from poetry experts Vartanza (talk) 12:28, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Watari Kakei[edit]

Astronomer who discovered a few asteroids (the only reference is to a name list). No scholarly article's I can find (I can't read Japanese though). From what I can see there is nothing written about him of any significance. Simply insufficient verifyable information from reliable sources to have an article.

Keep. I'm going to say that the simple fact of being recognized as the discover of an asteroid is enough to establish notability. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 10:42, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Um....where does that make reliable sources talk about him. Which ones do ? I can find nothing at all. Peripitus (Talk) 11:23, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/lists/MPDiscsAlpha.html Harvard astronomers are likely to be pretty careful about fact-checking. Getting on that list requires some evaluation of a claim; it's not a wiki. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 11:37, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest that the link cited would support a list entry here, but not an article. It doesn't even give us a source for his full name. Kevin (talk) 11:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As above, the entry lists his name twice, without even noting his first name. That is a phone book entry, not a reliable source discussing a subject - Peripitus (Talk) 11:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am sympathetic to the argument that one can be deemed notable for discovering asteroids. However, there is no evidence he is particularly known for such. The reason, say, playing in a fully professional league makes one pass WP:ATHLETE is that having done so almost always guarantees that there's press coverage. I think a better analogy here is WP:ACADEMIC, which requires showing that among the mass of all peers -- i.e., amateur astronomers -- he is known for his achievements as an asteroid hunter, as evidenced by for ex speaking at conferences or press coverage. This guy's not showing that, so, I'm going to say delete. —Quasirandom (talk) 14:23, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – Observed articles are not a valid basis for retaining an article. Unfortunately without providing valid support for the article, it fails to meet the criteria for inclusion under WP:BIO or WP:POLITICIAN. ttonyb (talk) 01:10, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Information in article violates privacy of a minor WikiMrsP (talk) 21:22, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I notice that every single sentence of the article is sourced to information published in mainstream news sources. Would you mind explaining which of the reasons for deletion you think the article falls under? If you have an issue with particular sentences in the article, they can be dealt with via regular editing rather than deletion. Holly25 (talk) 22:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe it breaches Wikipedia's policies on biographies of living persons, namely the presumption in favor of privacy, and the privacy of personal information. Personal and irrelevant information about this child continues to be added to this page, no matter how often it is removed. There is no way to remove this information without continually drawing attention to it. Privacy of a child should take precedence over mainstream media's definition of notability. She wishes to have the article removed. WikiMrsP (talk) 22:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - From what I can gather reading the article, the child has been the subject of interviews and appeared on the front cover of a magazine, all with her parents' permission. The presumption of privacy is for people not explicitly seeking publicity. How do you know she wants the article removed? (not that this would be a valid reason for deletion) Holly25 (talk) 22:42, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - The presumption of privacy is only for people who have not received publicity? Where does it say that? People keep entering personally identifiable and irrelevant information to this page, which she does want and thinks is "dumb". Because of the age of the subject, we should err on the side of caution and delete this article. From the Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Presumption_in_favor_of_privacy: "under the age of 18 years, and thus deserve greater protection from intrusions upon their privacy." WikiMrsP (talk) 23:00, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - If a person has actively sought publicity in the form of interviews and front-page shoots, then of course there's no longer a presumption that the person wishes to remain low-key and unknown. The "presumption of privacy" is for the likes of crime victims and people involved in news coverage through no fault of their own. As this person is under 18, then yes we do have a greater responsibility to keep the information on the page pertinent and backed up by reliable sources. But that is an article content issue, not grounds for deletion. Holly25 (talk) 23:13, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        So she has to wait until she's a victim of crime before wikipedia will respect a child's right to privacy and remove her private information? This is so frustrating. We keep removing personal information about her, and people keep adding it back. Editing the content via normal channels is not helping to protect the safety and privacy of this young girl. Please delete this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiMrsP (talk • contribs) 23:21, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, let me try to explain. This girl is actively seeking to become well known. She's doing interviews, she's had her photo on the front cover of a magazine, she's designed a t-shirt sold on the basis of her name. Thus we have on an article on her, and it doesn't get deleted on "privacy" grounds because she's already well-known for appearing in the mainstream press. "Private" information which isn't backed up by reliable sources can get deleted from the article straight away. But if the "private information" you're talking about is information which she's provided to an interviewer and had published in a major newspaper with her parents' permission -- then it's not really "private" any more, is it? It's in the public record. What kind of "personal information" are you referring to, specifically? Holly25 (talk) 23:33, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I also don't think that a valid reason for deletion was given. Wikipedia is not censored and the article seems to pass all key requirements of WP:BLP. It's relatively well-sourced, doesn't contain any defamatory information, and whatever basic personal facts it contains, they have already been published by several major news sources. — Rankiri (talk) 22:36, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Wikipedia's notion of notability is a joke. She's a kid who writes a blog about things she digs. Because our notoriously shallow and fickle mass culture filled some columns with stuff about her, her life is open to public scrutiny? Give me a break. There are thousands of real writers with prize winning books that don't have pages on Wikipedia.

Speedy keep Nomination not based on a valid reason for deletion. If there is information in the article that violates WP:BLP, it can be removed—there's no rule saying that there can't be articles about minors period. And, as said above, Gevinson is already notable and has already been covered in mainstream media, so this article is not spreading anything that hasn't already been published in mainstream media. For example, name of the city she lives in (with a population over 50,000) is not dangerous identifying information like her address would be. Other than that (which I have already removed), the article contains no incriminating personal information, it just talks about her blogging activities and appearances in the media. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 23:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It is exactly as dangerous. Look, my intention was not to further expose personal information about this kid. Please remove this thread.WikiMrsP (talk) 00:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Also, you have said above that "personal information keeps being added to this page". Well, there are ways to deal with that other than deletion. First of all, there are many people watching the page to undo edits that add undue personal information. And if it ever becomes too much of a problem, it is always possible to protect the page so unregistered users cannot edit it. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 00:18, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there's some history to this one. David Waters was originally about the the Australian actor, but was repeatedly hijacked by User:Davidgwaters for a page on the career of David G. Waters, and by User:Chrisayto hijacking it for the career of wrestler Dave Waters, plus various acts of vandalism conflating his career with Gary Glitter's. So to halt the carnage, I turned David Waters into a dab, splitting the hijacked versions out with simple copy & pastes. I didn't source them because I couldn't find any WP:Reliable sources following the split. Subject here appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE. Deleting this article probably won't stop the re-hijacking of David Waters, so I'd appreciate other editors keeping an eye on it. Thanks, MuffledThud (talk) 19:58, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is no evidence given of very much coverage: only one newspaper article. Generally speaking we do not consider having appeared in one incident in the news as constituting notability, as described in WP:ONEEVENT.

In addition it is perhaps worth mentioning that these stories about children living with wild animals occur frequently, and are often picked up by newspapers, but are rarely or never substantiated by verifiable evidence. When investigators travel to the scene to look further into the case there is a remarkably consistent tendency for the people mentioned in the reports to have mysteriously disappeared, or for there to be other obstacles in the way of verification. This means that in such cases the standard of verifiability required of our sources needs to be higher than for most other cases.

Timeline of the Bible[edit]

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

This article is not only pure original research, from start to finish, but is also hopeless. There's simply no way to create a timeline of the Bible without it being original research. The very title begs the question of Bible version, translation, interpretation, etc. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 17:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move to 'outline of the bible'. I am the author of the article. The article is an 'outline' of the bible arranged as much as possible according to its internal timeline and containing as many links as possible to articles where the material can be discussed in detail and therefore secondarily acts as a convenient list of links. It does not address the question of actual historical dating (or whether the persons or events even existed). As I said on the talk page, Its purpose is to answer the question of 'what does the bible say'. Nothing more and nothing less. (I made this clear from the very beginning. The first 2 words of the article are a link to the talk page explaining this). I deliberately chose to do this so as to avoid accusations of original research and because that is the logical place to start any intelligent discussion about the bible. To say that it treats fictional characters as real (WP:INUNIVERSE) is simply flabbergasting. It contains many links to pages that discuss real historical dates and events many of which are highly critical of the bible and I welcome any such input. Every number in it was pulled straight from the bible. It is intended for those who are studying the bible and especially those studying its timeline. Lemmiwinks2 (talk) 18:41, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've never been completely happy with the title of the article. Thats one of the first things that was discussed on the talk page. Six day ago I even suggested (there on the talk page) that the article should maybe be moved to 'outline of the bible'. I prefer to work mainly with the Masoretic version of the bible simply because that is the one I am most familiar with but I welcome any input about other versions. At several places I point out how the Septuagint differs. By the way, the article gets over 200 hits per day. http://stats.grok.se/en/201001/timeline of the bible. Lemmiwinks2 (talk) 00:09, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The name change to "Outline" makes it even more POV. If it's purely a timeline, the article can be basically objective - if it's an outline, then a lot more interpretation is involved based on what one includes or does not include. You see, there can never be a fully comprehensive outline - the very word indicates that one is selecting the important features. Here's one random example of interpretation - the article includes Zerubbabel under "Kings", whereas the Hebrew Bible never calls him a king. StAnselm (talk) 04:19, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Zerubbabel is listed under the subsection 'post exile rulers'. The list comes from 1 Chronicles 3:17-24 which the NIV titles 'the royal line after the exile'. You want to delete the article because I put the subsection 'post exile rulers' under the section 'kings'? Yes technically they were just rulers not kings. If it makes you happy I will change the entire section 'Kings' to 'rulers'. (I've also changed the subsection to 'royal line after the exile'). This is just another of the endless examples of everyone on the internet assuming that everyone else has some sinister ulterior motive for everything that they do. I was just being practical. I didnt want to create another whole section and "rulers" didnt seem like a very good heading. Lemmiwinks2 (talk) 04:28, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think you have a "sinister ulterior motive", just that you have a particular slant, like everyone else. And that particular slant comes out in the article. It comes out in what you include and what you leave out. It comes out in how you organise the data. I picked the example of Zerubbabel, because how you handle the post-exilic period ties in with how you see the trajectory of the Hebrew Bible. StAnselm (talk) 04:54, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Trajectory of the bible? I dont even know what you are talking about. I include everything. I leave out nothing. I just condense it to tables and charts as best I can. Lemmiwinks2 (talk) 05:26, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You can't put something like this together without including your own interpretation, or choosing between sources. Look at the table of "Creation by Elohim", for example. Why on earth do you divide things up the way you do? (For that matter, why do you spell "shamayim" as "shamim"?)

The division of the Land of Israel by tribes is not without its own issues. You've chosen one interpretation and presented it as encyclopedic fact. You list wives of Adam and his descendants. But while those are the names found in the Book of Jubilee, not everyone accepts that book as a valid source. For example, Jewish tradition holds that Noah was married to Naamah, the descendant of Cain. And not "Emzara". Why pick one source over another? - Lisa (talk - contribs) 06:19, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: WP:PLOT, WP:OR, WP:INUNIVERSE. The article looks almost entirely... unencyclopedic. It contains numerous disjointed quotes from the Bible and no actual, factual chronology or reliable secondary sources to speak of. A seemingly unnecessary fork from Chronology of the Bible, Chronology of Jesus and other similar pages, I feel that it would have to be fundamentally rewritten to become suitable for an encyclopedia. — Rankiri (talk) 19:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Chronology of the Bible, which treats the same subject without the original research. EALacey (talk) 19:28, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article looks like it's beyond salvaging. There's so much here that's not part of a timeline, and a whole lot of entries with time references such as "some time later". Maybe there's some info here that could be added to the Chronology of the Bible article. StAnselm (talk) 00:41, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Some time later' is a direct quote from Genesis. Lemmiwinks2 (talk) 04:17, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete At 259 KB, this is the longest article I have ever seen on Wikipedia, and it's mostly incoherent notes from the author to the author, with plenty of "?" thrown in. Someone's personal study of the Old Testament or Torah is fine for their own word processor, but not as an article on Wikipedia. Give them time to save it on to their hard drive. Mandsford (talk) 01:21, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The longest was about 350 KB the last time I checked. The nature of the subject matter and the inclusion of tables and lists with many references justifies the length. Lemmiwinks2 (talk) 04:21, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This article is very clearly original research, with inadequate citation of scholarship on the subject, and not sufficiently well-written. I don't think Wikipedia is the place to vanity-publish this. The article is also much too long, and there are existing articles for most sub-topics, such as individual books, Chronology of the Bible, and Gospel harmony. The author should be encouraged to make better-written, properly referenced, non-original-research contributions to those. -- Radagast3 (talk) 22:02, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but be sure to give article creator a chance to save per mandsford (PLEASE, lemmiwinks2, dont lose your work! save to your drive to avoid having to request the deleted page), pending him moving this to a bible wiki or a personal website (and be sure its not on his userpage). obviously a labor of love, and probably of interest to some amateur biblical scholars. this is not appropriate for WP. the bible is not considered a reliable source for its own precise, dated chronology, so any attempt to list events of the bible on a timeline from the beginning of the world is inherently POV and OR. nowhere in this article is it mentioned that this timeline would be considered meaningless by mainstream scholars. all the references appear to be of bible passages. i dont believe there are any precisely dated events in the old testament. enough said. im just sorry the editor made such valiant strides in a futile direction.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:04, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Presenting sources to inform the debate. Apart from Bride of Dracula she also had a named role as Rebecca Costanzo in the 1995 film "With Criminal Intent" in Romanian translation, IMDb. More sources to confirm she was a bride of Dracula on google news here. Romanian source mentioning specifically she is married to the Bank director and her full name here. Details about her from a Romanian news source in 2005 at HotNews.ro, translation Polargeo (talk) 07:30, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- We already knew all that. Still doesn't pass WP:ARTIST, so I felt that adding the refs to the article would be pointless. This article on her marriage has a fair bit of biographical information, but it's reproduced from a local newspaper, Ziua de Cluj (not the same as Ziua). It mostly covers the pinnacle of her career: being selected out of 15,000 candidates to play one of Dracula's wives, and that she wasn't scared of real snakes. She also appeared in Castle Queen, and (as I suspected) was a model for Texaco and Channel, but she switched to a business career afterwards. Similar career with Michaela Bercu (except for being on the front-page of Vogue). The Romanian newspaper also says that while she was in the USA she wrote the screenplay for A Man, a Woman and Her Foton, but that movie really is called A Woman, Her Men, and Her Futon, and IMDB credits Michael Sibay with the screenplay, although ghost writing is common in Hollywood. There are very few sites in Romania that even mention her, see these searches: [19] [20] [21] YMMV if an article is warranted. By the way, I as unable to confirm that she appeared in With Criminal Intent from a source that's not IMDB or a Romanian clone of IMDB, NYT doesn't list it [22]. Weak delete.

Electrically converted water[edit]

Spammy article with unreliable references, promoting a fringe product. The "references" are all based on press releases from the company that invented the product. Fails WP:SPAM, WP:RS andy (talk) 16:21, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Electrolysis of water if not outright deletion. I can't make scientific sense of this article. Is it claiming that electrolyzing water into H2 and O2 then recombining them makes something other than normal water? Also, it seems to me that the article might be rewritable into something non-adverty, on the off chance the concept holds up under verifiability. (I'll wager half of what Wikipedia pays me as an editor that the concept won't hold, you know.) --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Promotion of a non-notable concept used by Tennant Company. Two of the article's sources appear to be press releases; the third one focuses on the company and doesn't discuss the subject in detail.

Keep per coverage in reliable sources the meet the WP:GNG and WP:CRYSTAL's "It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced." Sources show the film began filming last August and is now to be called The Love Child. Considering the principals invloved, finding sources was quite easy. In a quick search I found a number of articles speaking toward the film, its production, and its completion: Calgary Sun 1, Cinematical, Boxxet, Screen Daily, The Spectator 1, Moviehole, The Spectator 2, New York Post, Calgary Sun 2, JoBlo, Hello Magazine, Wirtualna Polska... and Even better, last August Edmonton Sun reports that principle filming has wrapped. It will assuredly be getting even more press. This is definitely a keeper. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:12, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    - Note: I think part of the reason I was having trouble finding it was because of the new name. I think that if this is kept, a move is in order. I have no objection to leaving the redirect behind. --Shirik (Questions or Comments?) 04:40, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:BLP1E applies here, I think. There are also serious POV issues; note that nowhere in the article does it say he lost the election, or otherwise list any results of the election. That (along with some of the language choice) tells me this was written by a supporter. Powers ^T 15:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There seems plenty of coverage, and judging form the comments in the first AFD, significantly more cited coverage than there was when it was previously deleted. (the previous AFD included the comment "There are five news pieces about him" -- the curent article has at least 18 news story cites) The talk page comment "He was the first Republican to run for the seat since 1997, the first Staten Island resident since the 1960's to run citywide and the youngest candidate ever to run for citywide office in NYC" assuming it is supported by WP:RS, also seems to contribute to notability. As to WP:BLP1E, a political campaign these days is not a single event but often a year-long series of related events. This one seems to have generated major news coverage over a period of close to a year. The article may indeed have been "written by a supporter" but that is a matter for editing, not deletion. (the version nominated for the first AFD was far more promotional, and was largely written by Alexforpa (talk · contribs), an SPA who seems likely to have been the subject or a campaign staffer.)

- There are also now two cited stories about his post-election advocacy for the William H. Pouch Boy Scout Camp, which suggest this is not a 1-event article. DES ^(talk) 17:39, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:BLP1E says "...if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article..." It seems to me likely that this person will remain in the public eye, probably continuing political activism and getting coverage. The Pouch Camp mater seems the first sign of this. And it should be noted that I am in no sense a political supporter of this person's -- indeed I generally oppose the grups with which he appears to be allied. DES ^(talk) 17:55, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The previous AfD was in June 2009, much of the news coverage is later than that. So yes the person has become more notable since the AfD. DES ^(talk) 17:55, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Editor Jehochman has a clear conflict and should recuse himself in the interest of fairness. Hockman does indeed does run a for profit search engine optimization company. So how can we allow him to participate in the deletion of his competitors???? What might we be thinking to have the coyote guarding the hen house and how fair can that be. While references may need to be improved in the spirit of presenting informative content to Wiki researchers, Jehochman DOES run a Search engine optimization firm and IS actively competing for the precise keyword term he is seeking to overlord. IF Jehochman is REALLY interested in the process being fair, he will assist in guiding other editors to make this article better. Wiki wars are a waste of everyone's time and it is clear this article meets a higher burden of proof than most of the articles I looked at of a similar subject matter which are NOT under any type of attack. When we Wiki editors say the Copyright Office of the United States or Entrepreneur Magazine are not proper references for this article, indicating notoriety outside of the Recording and or Songwriting categories, we send the wrong messages and that the agenda here is personal and not in the best interest of making Wikipedia a better place to visit. If Jehochman is the sock puppet that was caught voting for deletion it would make sense to me and that is only my opinion. For Hockman to jump in and say every vote for keep is a sock puppet is questionable in my mind as that delete vote goes to a SOCKPUPPET. What??? The only sockpuppet detected is the Jack guy who got banned for being a sock puppet when voting to remove. Now if any of you are buying the railroad job going on here please enlighten me.

- Comment Yes but if you look one click further you will see it goes in an infinite loop. Just as the links on admin Hockman's page all go to commercial interest's. Commercial interests which indicate a more than clear conflict of interest. There is no way, anyone on wikipedia can say an editor / admin engaged in the business of search engine optimization can place a credible nomination for removal. Keep in mind Hockman according to the history page IS who started this whole mess AND runs an SEO company while trying to remove a rival SEO by limiting the article to music so he can fold it into house of lords therefore keeping Mr Guy out of the search engine consultants category. Now I did some research on the listings Mr Hockman DID accept as references and they are blogs? Why is it that Mr Guy is being held to a far higher standard than any other musician from MTV and or any other SEO in that category. Why is it that Entrepreneur Magazine is being challenged as a resource when a blog is. If you look at Mr Aaron walls rise to fame. It was as a blogger who was beig sued, NOT a search engine optimization consultant. AND 2 others in this category are not even listed as notable SEO consultants. And one is a Google employee who has done work on webmaster central and with all due respect has no relevance in this category other than she worked on a non seo related project at google. Now just because I worked on the space shuttle does not make me an astronaut. As a gentleman Mr Hockman can not run an SEO company and at the same time, "hand pluck SEO competitors out of Wikipedia."

Mr Hockmans comments regarding a spamorama are in regards to some one placing a link to Mr Guys company. If a link to Mr Guys company is considered spam. Why is it Mr Hockman can jam his page with links to his SEO company " Hockman and associates? If I am out of line here some one please correct me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.237.7 (talk) 03:52, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article is of interest to us Michael Guy fans. There are more references for this article than all of the people in the search engine optimization consultants category who have submitted their own blogs as references which were accepted. This looks like harassment by jehochman who oddly enough seems to be a search engine optimization consultant himself. Are they going to let him get away with this clear cut conflict of interest?

Mr. Hockman. Thank you for that comment. And thank you for noticing all the hard work the wikians have done. Sir can you remove the nomination for deletion?

This can only be done by you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.237.7 (talk) 03:58, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment This is my opinion. Mr Hockman says article is much better and he is satisfied(see above). But does not remove the request to remove tag? How cleaver. If his comment was sincere he would remove the tag in my opinion. Is it just a ploy to cover his tracks? Does Jehochman run an SEO company from his wiki page that then in turn links out to commercial offers for his SEO services? And did Jehochman attempt to "PRUNE" the SEO consultans category? Was Jehochman s strategy weakening this article so it could then be folded in to house of lords therefore pleasing a friend who may or may not publish his article on his SEO blog? While it might be ok for him to link to commercial interests on his editor page, it is not ok to remove BIO articles of SEO consultants IF he is an seo consultant. From what I can see looking at the linkedin links on his page they do point to the SEO company Jehochman says he owns. What will happen next? The "it is out of my hands" strategy? While Jehochman steps aside? While Jehochman sockpuppets pursue it to deletion? Please correct me if I am wrong about this but it makes no sense to me Jehochman would 1.put the tag for deletion on the page and everybody works hard to make the article better. 2. Says much better he is satisfied on THIS VERY page. 3. Leaves the damage behind while editors are waiting to see if their hard work has saved the article. (The consider to remove tag can only be removed by Jehochman) . I believe he knows people are passionate about the Michael Guy article and states that on this page. He says he is satisfied, but does not delete the tag he placed? Some one please explain this to me as I have no idea what he is thinking. My honest opinion is Jehochman is out to remove bios on SEO consultants. Pardon me for my candor but I call FOUL BALL.

Personally I really have no idea how well-known Ayako Saso is since I don’t live in Japan. Her name (佐宗綾子) gets nearly 50k hits on Google, and she has an article in the Japanese Wikipedia (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/佐宗綾子) although I appreciate that there are different rules for different versions of Wikipedia. If other people don’t think she is very well-known, I’m happy for the article to be deleted, although if no one here lives in Japan, how can they say? Does someone have to be WORLD famous to be included in Wikipedia, or is fame in one's home country enough? Grand Dizzy (talk) 15:42, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral. Google news search for her Japanese name [31] finds some sources, but too few to say this is someone well-known. The article is entirely supported by this source, but I'm not familiar enough with video game or electronic music to say if she passes WP:COMPOSER; she did win a prize though. I don't understand why you guys say that the source is WP:PRIMARY; that bio is clearly not written by her, although the reliability of the site is something I can't comment on. Pcap ping 22:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's primary-source because it's published by one of her labels, who has a vested interest in promoting her.

Kastor und Pollux[edit]

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

I've agonized over nominating this one for most of the evening, but I'm going to go forward with a nomination. The buildings described seem to be of limited notability; there are no clear guidelines on what is/isn't a notable office building (obviously a hundred-story skyscraper is probably notable; a ten-story one, probably not).

Pollux might be notable based on its height (it shows up as the 15th tallest building in Frankfurt), but Castor (at only 22 floors tall) probably isn't on its own. Neither seems to get much coverage of any kind (notably, GNews yields zero hits relating to them either in German (Kastor und Pollux) or English (Castor and Pollux) attached to the term "Frankfurt", used to sift out references to the mythological creatures). Google hits seem to be limited to a few stray (highly detailed) lists of buildings in Frankfurt and to personal pictures which happen to include the buildings. Thus, I feel that notability is not achieved, primarily due to the sheer lack of press coverage and limited other coverage. Tyrenon (talk) 10:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This does appear to be a major business complex in on of the major business centers of Europe. The Frankfurter Rundschau has given it significant coverage.[35]--Oakshade (talk) 16:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Over this past month, I have been editing and creating new articles for skyscrapers in Frankfurt am Main using some text that was translated from their corresponding articles at the German Wikipedia using Google's translator. Some of the translations generated by it are kind of low-quality, but I do manage to make some modifications to the translated text. Those kind of edits are constructive and the articles I edited/created need improvement, not deletion. If the translated text is poor, it needs to be cleaned up and improved by other editors instead of being reverted or deleted altogether. There is a project named Wikipedia:Translate and some users in the English Wikipedia from Germany might be able to help. No page in Wikipedia is supposed to be proposed for deletion all of a sudden after tags such as "cleanup" or "unreferenced" have been added to the article.

Masanori Matsuyama[edit]

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

Delete, as there is no indicator as to why this "prolific astronomer" is notable. JBsupreme (talk) 09:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have searched and found no substantial coverage in reliable sources. The search is made more complicated by the existence of other people of the same name, but with a little effort it is not too difficult to separate out the ones about this Masanori Matsuyama, and they do not establish notability by a long way. The only source given in the article is a list of names of astronomers who have discovered asteroids, together with the number of asteroids they have discovered. This cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered substantial coverage. The article did claim that Matsuyama "is a prolific discoverer of asteroids". The source indicates that he is a co-discoverer of 19 asteroids. Since there are many dozens of discoverers on the list who have discovered hundreds of asteroids, and quite a few who have discovered thousands, the word "prolific" seems dubious, so I have removed it. Not notable at all. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:03, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brady Blade[edit]

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

I de-prodded this unsourced musician biography article as there appears to be some coverage in Google News Archive. Having scrolled through the first several pages of the 316 results, I can find only passing mentions or unrelated articles about an athletic director. This article appears to fail Wikipedia:Notability (people), Wikipedia:Verifiability, and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Cunard (talk) 08:54, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Since, as Cunard says, there are only passing mentions, there is no evidence of notability. Incidentally I don't follow Cunard's logic: if there is "some coverage" but that coverage is "only passing mentions or unrelated articles" then why de-prod? However, I agree with Cunard apart from that. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I de-prodded the article so that there will be more eyes on whether or not this is notable. Although I could not find significant coverage in reliable sources, someone who is more experienced in this topic may be able to find something useful in the rest of the 316 Google News Archive results that I did not check. Additionally, the following is a credible indication that this biography passes Wikipedia:Notability (music):

“

Early 1995 saw Emmylou Harris persuade Brady to return to his kit as part of her touring band Spyboy, along with Daniel Lanois and Darryl Johnson. The following year they were joined by Buddy Miller and toured throughout the mid-nineties, culminating in a live album Spyboy, released in 1998.

Touring the world with Emmylou Harris led Brady to encounter and be seen by some of the key figures in the American music scene which resulted in Brady becoming one of the most in-demand session drummers around. Brady took part in extensive tours and sessions with the Steve Earle during his El Corazón period; Jewel throughout her 1998 Spirit world tour; and the Indigo Girls on their 1999 album Come on Now Social, 2002's Become You and 2004's All That We Let In.

”

If sources could be found for this, I will withdraw the AfD. Cunard (talk) 22:47, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete (1) No sources given in article; (2) Web search has produced no substantial coverage in independent sources; (3) Although a Go player is not an athlete, I can see no reason why a competitor in a non-athletic game should not be judged by the same criteria as a competitor in athletics or sport, and WP:ATHLETE is quite clear: for an amateur to be considered notable enough for an article they have to have competed at the very highest level, such as Olympics or world championship.

Though not perfectly unambiguous, a large portion of this article appears to be a somewhat direct copy of the following: http://pharmtech.findpharma.com/pharmtech/data/articlestandard/pharmtech/432002/36208/article.pdf

A lot of word strings don't show up because of the presence of hyphens at the end of lines (the link being a PDF of a print article which has words that get broken off at the end of a line and restarted at the beginning of the next line), but I ran three word strings and found almost exact matches.

Sekou Odinga[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

Based on the research I did back in the summer (I did run a batch of Google searches), Mr. Odinga does not seem to have much on him personally anywhere. He is mentioned in connection with the Brinks robbery he participated in, but that alone would seem to not be sufficient to qualify for personal notability re: WP:ONEEVENT. I'm not opposed to redirecting to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinks_robbery_%281981%29 if that's felt to be appropriate, and I'd support such a move.

It's worth noting that while there was no consensus the last time around, there were suggestions for improvement for what was, at the time, a fairly new article. The article is no longer new, some improvement has been had, but it still doesn't seem to escape WP:ONEEVENT.

Fair disclosure: I nominated this article the first time it was up (listed as the 2nd nomination), and the 'original' first nomination was an abortive nom by me that didn't get put into AfD properly.Tyrenon (talk) 06:07, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. May be worth using my search engine: http://www.google.com/cse?cx=009114923999563836576%3A1eorkzz2gp4&q=amanchu!

Particularly good is the ANN launch article (Ain't it cool news seems to be drawing on the same source), and it's interesting that it's outsold established series like Eyeshield 21 or One Piece (or Summer Wars - didn't even know there was a manga adaptation for that). And then there are the innumerable Daily Radar, MangaNews, anime-vice, manga-sanctuary, AkibaBlog hits for Amanchu!, but though we use those sites in hundreds of articles I didn't see any specific discussions of whether they were notable. --Gwern (contribs) 16:15 22 January 2010 (GMT)

Thanks Gwern. I'm aware of all those data. Unfortunately none of them permit a clean & clear keep. I'm betting on an anime series adaptation within 3-4 years so it will pass a WP:BK #3 for notable adaptation. Knowing current Tokyopop slow pace of Aria manga release, i'm doubtful of Amanchu! being licensed in English in near future.

I should also correct you on the charts interpretation. The charts ranks books by weekly sells Amanchu! may outsell Eyeshield 21 and One Piece for that week but in cumulated/total sells both series outsold Amanchu! with 212K and 1,789K copies sold respectively. --KrebMarkt 16:03, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, but Eyeshield 21 eg. has been running since 2002; cumulative sales is a little unfair to Amanchu!. As for Tokyopop... well, I had to filter out a lot of scanlation and forums in the CSE - I think it went from a few hundred or thousand hits down to ~45 once I managed to get rid of them all. That's a pretty good early showing for a slice of life highschool manga with not the slightest hint of an English release. --Gwern (contribs) 16:28 22 January 2010 (GMT)

I meant this volume of Eyeshield 21 sold for 212K, not the whole series which should amount the millions. It was in the chart for 2 weeks consecutively: first week 165K, second week 47K (the week Amanchu! vol. 1 release), total 212K. I guess my English sucks so much i could not explain it clearly. --KrebMarkt 16:50, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, didn't even occur to me to think that that Eyeshield volume had been out for a while. So I guess that's less impressive than it might be. --Gwern (contribs) 17:06 22 January 2010 (GMT)

Weekly sales charts are almost always useless because of this; those volumes of One Piece and Eyeshield 21 would have come out over a month earlier, and been in their fifth week on the charts. It did outsell Bakuman in it's second week, which is probably impressive for a first volume published in a niche magazine, but doesn't mean the sales are anything like even. Doceirias (talk) 04:52, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Aside from the launch news (which suggests that some news sources think a new series by the author is worth reporting on) and the best-selling volume (which says popular but not yet notable), I've found nothing on this series. Given those sales and that the series pretty much is Aria distilled to a cordial, I have every reason to believe that it will be licensed/reviewed or adapted to an anime, but until then, it doesn't meet WP:BK.

We could also just merge it to the author's page. Her article isn't exactly bulging at the seams, and that would make what we have much more discoverable (and hence, editable) for everyone save the user to whom it was userfied.

CSD:G8 doesn't necessarily apply to what could be a notable article, or at least, a sensible merge. The author may be venting more than seriously preferring it to be in his userspace, judging from edit summaries like 'In the end, your "TheFarix" will "die die" confirm want to "Nominated" this article for "deletion".

At the time that I posted, the only significant edits by anyone other than the creator were made by someone who also proposed the article for deletion (and I missed the first G7 decline, because it said "A6 declined", I didn't see the correction). Deletion requests made in good faith should be honoured, unless there's a compelling reason to do otherwise. Since there are no keep votes so far, I don't see the trouble. Copying to a user page doesn't require an AFD vote. Hairhorn (talk) 22:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let say it's for the sake of communication within Wikipedia.

Keep it is extremely difficult to judge the notability of writers in Pakistan by the usual criteria--there are no union holdings databases like WorldCat available for Pakistani libraries, there are very few libraries in the US that are likely to collect in Urdu, and there are no easily accessible really well established review sources that we know to rely on. For this author, his Educational chaos is held by a dozen US libraries, so he is not entirely unheard of here, but his Urdu works are not in WorldCat.

Delete - Promotional. Doesn't say anything encyclopedic that's not in Bicycle trailer. EeepEeep (talk) 03:36, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. The sources added by Eastmain (1 and 2), which are also the first two sources in the Google News Archive search, are insufficient because they provide only passing mentions (one sentence each) about DoggyRide. Cunard (talk) 08:58, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the selective merge to bicycle trailer proposed by Glenfarclas (talk · contribs). Cunard (talk) 09:33, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge a little bit to bicycle trailer. Yes, you could probably find enough sources to argue for notability if that article didn't exist, but since it does a separate standalone article isn't warranted just because there is enough material to write it (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michelle Obama's arms). In particular, there's no need for an article on the brand DoggyRide when Bicycle dog trailer would cover the generics as well—but only highlights how silly it would be not to merge it with bicycle trailer. Glenfarclas (talk) 09:29, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Article has been rewritten. - mattmontare (talk • contribs) 02:55, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for making the article less promotional; however, you have not addressed the notability issues. Has DoggyRide been the subject of nontrivial coverage in reliable sources? Cunard (talk) 07:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your feedback. DoggyRide has been subject to nontrivial coverage from various sources, which made the trademark a generic term in the Dutch language mattmontare (talk) 13:36, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please provide links to the articles that provide nontrivial coverage about DoggyRide. Cunard (talk) 05:46, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being persistent. Added several links mattmontare (talk) 15:13, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am still not seeing enough significant coverage in reliable sources. This link doesn't appear to mention DoggyRide, but this review (from Bicycling.com which is published by Rodale, Inc.) is a good indicator of notability. If you can find one more source, I will switch to keep. At this moment, this debate looks like it will be closed as a merge/redirect. When you can find more sources, feel free to post them on my talk page so I can evaluate it and perhaps undo the redirect. Cunard (talk) 18:44, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This software does what they claim. The support you get with this company is phenomenal! I have never experienced a company that exhibits as good customer service as ASBware LLC does. They evaluate any & all of your improvement ideas and then prioritize accordingly. They implement fixes for even very minute issues but first do extensive testing so as to not cause any other problems. I am not affiliated with ASBware in any way but have used textBEAST for some time. Thought this quick note may put others minds at ease.

KEEP Notable? Definitely....textbeast has been reviewed by Cnet editors at download.com, one of the biggest download blogs/sites out there (The domain download.com attracted at least 113 million visitors annually by 2008 according to a Compete.com study) and has been downloaded by thousands of individuals on that site alone receiving a four star rating from both editor and users: http://download.cnet.com/textBEAST-clipboard/3000-2384_4-10766463.html?tag=mncol Also, it has been featured on Softpedia, Giveaway of the Day, Tucows, Brothersoft, AlternativeTo.net,etc., all software sites with large readership. I am not affiliated with TextBeast, but I have been a user for a very long time. The program is notable in that it is UNIQUE in the market as being a click to type clipboard manager, versus many of the other ones that only allow you to assign hotkeys to textstrings. Further, I think the mention on download.com by the editorial staff alone proves it is a notable software.Superrrman (talk) 07:39, 25 January 2010 (UTC) — Superrrman (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

List of Supreme Court of the United Kingdom cases under Lord Phillips[edit]

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

~~This article might be useful once the term of Lord Philips ends,but~~ at the moment it is redundant to the articles 2009 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom and 2010 Judgments of the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom which were also created by user:Chid12. As the lists by year are more logical I am suggesting this one is deleted and they remain. Ajbpearce (talk) 00:39, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Nicholas Phillips, Baron Phillips of Worth Matravers. Just as we generate discography lists for bands who are still recording, there is nothing wrong with a list of cases for a judge who is still sitting. I see no policy grounds for deletion, in the nomination; a merge will not over-balance the target and will enhance the utility of the target. Bridgeplayer (talk) 23:16, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - per good reasoning, however a redirect is somewhat useless as this Article title is not a viable search term. Any reader interested specifically in His cases, would start at His Article.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Exit2DOS2000 (talk • contribs) 16:41, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - if we merge then we have to redirect, and not delete, to preserve the history for GFDL reasons. Agreed it is not a viable search term but that is not the reason for keeping. Bridgeplayer (talk) 17:17, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

CommentI would not support a merge as this is not a list of cases in which lord philips sat, but a list of cases heard by the supreme court in the time that lord Philips is President_of_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Kingdom ,regardless of whether lord philips sat in that case. The new SCOTUK is different from say SCOTUS in that usually only a subset of its judges sit on each case. Therefore to redirect to Lord Philips would be somewhat misleading as it implies he was involved in these cases when infact he will not have had any involvement in many, not to mention it would ignore all the cases he sat in the House of Lords. Ajbpearce (talk) 17:55, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If it is a list of cases heard during the period he was president, then the subdivision by year would make more sense. the list for the Judge would be the list of cases in which he participated. DGG ( talk ) 04:33, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - redundant to the lists of cases by year, I think (which is a better way of organising them), and somewhat misleading, as Lord Phillips only delivered a judgement in one of these cases. Robofish (talk) 17:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: FWIW, being a recreation of speedily deleted material isn't, by itself, a reason for deletion, especially when the deletion reason was "attack page," which this is clearly not (though maybe the previous page was so butchered that it looked like one). Being unwilling to answer your efforts at discussion, though, is not a good sign. Glenfarclas (talk) 02:13, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: True, and I agree that being a recreation isn't solely a good reason, but given that it was recreated within an hour of being speedily deleted (whether properly or not) makes me wonder if there isn't a SPA or promotional account. And admittedly, the language isn't NPOV, or at least doesn't appear to be so. Frmatt (talk) 02:29, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. It's a long shot, but I'm going on for no context. It explains what it's for, but not only fails to give background (a dicdef by right), but fails also to give context to the already brief definition, in my opinion.
