This is a charted song from the album not a single. Per WP:NSONGS as it has no independent coverage and there is not enough detail to produce a detailed quality page it is not notable for an idependent article. Lil-unique1 (talk) 23:59, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete Clearly a non-notable neologism that would be better suited as an idea incorporated into the Bribery or a related Corruption article. Sources would probably support that kind of inclusion if introduced properly. Mike Cline (talk) 17:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable neologism. Google hits. Only the first page has results about this use of "efficient grease". Everything else is about machines. mboverload@ 23:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not a mainstream or notable theory. The sources, of questionable reliability, all cite the same person, one P.G. Méon, who with his partner L. Weill seems to be the sole propounder of this theory, citing the same research over and over. The first two sources in the article cite them. The third source cited argues that the hypothesis is false. Everything I can find on Google is about them. Google Scholar finds only Méon and various co-authors, with some citations but not an impressive number. Could be redirected or merged to Political corruption. --MelanieN (talk) 01:42, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per nom. Even if (and that's a big IF) this term gains popular acceptance, it still doesn't need an article but a redirect to bribery or Political corruption would be sufficient, as per MelanieN. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:22, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This podcast fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for web content. The objection to the proposed deletion of this article was that the podcast "has a large listener base, is planning a live tour, and features hosts of cult fame". The large listener base is not verified in secondary sources. The live tour suggests possible future notability, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The hosts of cult fame are notable themselves, but notability is not inherited. In short, there this podcast has not "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" as per the general notability guideline and should therefore be deleted. Neelix (talk) 14:23, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the iTunes podcast ratings and the fact that both Walter and Bryan both have several IMDB credits for some pretty high profile films, like Clerks shows that this article is entirely valid and should be retained. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.118.242.58 (talk) 14:01, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just because you talk into a microphone in your mom's basement and nobody listens to it, doesn't mean that every other podcast is as unsuccessful as yours. These guys rocked 1,000 people live in Brantford, are going on a tour around the country, and have a great listener base that is evident on iTunes and their Twitter account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.251.163.219 (talk) 14:13, 3 July 2010 (UTC) — 74.251.163.219 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

By the very fact that it was voted number one podcast in Australia shows that the podcast has a large following and so should be recognised by Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.128.43.93 (talk) 22:52, 3 July 2010 (UTC) — 86.128.43.93 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

If you can link to a source about it being voted the number one podcast in Australia that would be helpful. If anyone can link to iTunes podcast ratings that would be helpful too. (I'm not certain where such ratings can be found. As the author of a new podcast on iTunes, I have been led to believe that it's difficult to get such figures, but maybe someone knows something I don't.) As a fan of TESD I'm hoping the wiki page remains, but insulting this guy isn't going to help. Wiki's guidelines are clear. I thing TESD meets those guidelines, but we have to prove it. Agincourtdb (talk) 23:03, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm not convinced that it will meet notability guidelines, because I don't know how many reliable sources there are yet. To all of the fans of the podcast coming here to argue, it's not about the quality or the popularity of the podcast, the problem is with how many reliable sources (meaning not message boards or personal blogs) have covered it. And simply being a spin-off of a popular podcast doesn't count either. If the article is deleted now, that isn't to say that it can't be re-created once such sources exist. On the other hand, I did find two sources that MAY help. One is from The Pitch, and the other is from a local newspaper in Brantford, Ontario.

A search for reliable third-party sources comes up only with illegal scanlation websites and the occasional forum post. Fails both the WP:NOTE and WP:BK inclusion guidelines. Prod disputed on the bases that another WikiProject had to agree to the proposed deletion of the article and that I was somehow showing WP:OWNership for originally prodding the article for deletion. —Farix (t | c) 23:27, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I never said you thought you own this article. Instead, I suggested that as long as another WikiProject tagged this article as being "of interest" to them, we need consensus from a number of people to delete the article. There is presently one reference in the article, to Anime News Network, which is neither an illegal scanlation site nor a forum posting. Maybe someone can find more. But we don't have any consensus -- and it's necessary. Timothy Perper (talk) 23:37, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You should read about the WP:PROD procedures. Also, I don't need the consent or input of another WikiProject in order to propose an article for deletion nor is it a good reason to remove a prod tag. And finally, the ANN Encyclopedia is user-edited and is not a reliable source. Last time you were told this by different editors, you blew up and threw a temper-tantrum. —Farix (t | c) 23:44, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You're losing your temper, Farix. Anyone can suggest anything for deletion and anyone can agree or object. We all know that. You and I differ about the reliability of ANN, but that makes no difference. Deleting the article needs consensus, not action by one person, you or me. Timothy Perper (talk) 00:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I just did a Google search for this manga using its Japanese title ""ボクのふたつの翼" and got about 2000 hits. I'm not going through them to find which might be reliable or not. Now, this, it seems to me, is a question of whether or not the English Wikipedia can ignore material in languages other than English when we try to assess what is and is not "notable." But if these sources count -- personally, I think they should -- then this manga is clearly notable. Timothy Perper (talk) 00:15, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This is not a case of the English Wikipedia ignoring material in languages other than English; there are no Japanese-language sources in evidence at all, just blogs and booksellers: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. The jawiki article is similarly unsourced. cab (talk) 00:26, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • No objection to a minimal merge of the verifiable and relevant content either (e.g. the list of ISBNs of editions in which it was published). cab (talk) 04:48, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's an interesting article and no worse than a great deal of other stuff on Wikipedia. It needs work -- it's a stub. I say give it a chance. User cab said the Japanese search gave "just blogs and booksellers." I admit I wonder about that; I put my comment up about my search at 00:15, 6 July, and he replied at 00:26, July 6 -- giving 11 minutes to examine some 2000 websites. But, OK, I'll accept it -- it's mostly blogs and booksellers. Which, it seems to me, goes a long way to demonstrating notability of this manga in Japan even if we can't use the blogs as reliable sources. Likewise, even if we can't cite the Japanese Wikipedia, that article too indicates that the manga is notable. So let it stay. It's harmless. Timothy Perper (talk) 04:03, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • I got 441 non-duplicate Google hits. That's 9 pages. Scanning that in 10 minutes is hardly a suspicious accomplishment, especially when most of it is such obvious junk. cab (talk) 04:48, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Toshiki Yui as the author is a notable mangaka. --Malkinann (talk) 04:39, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge. I did a great deal of cleanup of my CSE hits, and even then, it's junk. Whatever sources of notability there may be for this series, looks to me like they're not available from the anglophone Internet. --Gwern (contribs) 07:18 6 July 2010 (GMT)
Here's a review. It's in English. http://www.fightbait.com/boku-futatsu-tsubasa-wings-2/ I found it in the list you generated. The reviewer thought the manga was sort of silly, but doesn't doubt the interest of the futanari. Yes, you're right -- I didn't search the Anglophone internet, but used the Japanese title ボクのふたつの翼 and got some 2080 hits, about 1800 of them in Japanese, many for booksellers and blogs. I didn't examine them for reviews. I also got some 264 hits in English (I just repeated the search about five minutes ago with the same results), most them booksellers, blogs, and scanlators.
I now think that merging is the best solution. Here's why I changed my mind. The article contains a longish description of the plot and characters, but there is no official English translation of the manga. So I suspect that the description given in the article is based on a scanlated version, and I don't think we should use it. But the basic description of what the manga is about is all over the web, including the review above. So merge what's left with the Toshiki Yui page.
Timothy Perper (talk) 11:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, but we never use fightbait.com, and offhand, doesn't look like it would pass our more stringent editors' RS standards. --Gwern (contribs) 04:19 8 July 2010 (GMT)
I think you're misunderstanding me, in good faith, but still misunderstanding what I'm saying. Doesn't matter what "we use" or not -- I'm not talking about what to put into the article. I'm talking about deleting or keeping the article, not rewriting it. So it's a matter of whether or not there's evidence on the web for the popularity or for fan-interest in "My Two Wings." That is a matter of notability and not of reliability. Whether "we" like it or not, there's a lot of evidence for notability of Yui's manga. It is NOT a high school kid's cartoon drawn in the high school newspaper -- which he thinks makes him "notable" and worthy of a Wikipedia entry. "My Two Wings" has some 2000 hits in Japanese web sources; a number of sources in English-language websites; a complete scanlation; and (up to now, at least) even a Wiki article, this one, which was put up in good faith three years ago. Whether we like it or not, "My Two Wings" is notable.
The question is "now what"? I don't like the fightbait review any more than you do, and I have serious reservations about scanlations. But, nonetheless, scanlations have become one of the most popular sources for manga in the non-Japanese speaking world (references some other time). So what do we do about it? One answer is "nothing" -- ignore it because it fails various wiki-tests. But that puts us increasingly behind the curve in how manga and anime are both moving in the world -- scanlations and fansubs may be legally dubious, but they're extremely popular. We can ignore them, taking the high moral ground and feeling pleased with ourselves, but the world of fan enthusiasms is not on the same moral wavelength. Maybe it should be, but it isn't. So the question is what do scanlations and blogs and all the other "unreliable" sources mean, all issues of morality and legality aside.
Maybe that's clearer? Timothy Perper (talk) 05:55, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Added later. I believe that Wikipedia exists to put up articles of interest to readers. It doesn't exist to make editors' egos feel good. It's a service to people "out there." To me, "notable" means "notable to our readers," not "notable to us personally." No one -- least of all me! -- is saying we should start citing scanlation sites! But their existence proves that readers are interested in certain titles, and we have to take that fact into consideration when we write, edit, or keep/merge/delete articles. I just googled "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" and got 170,000 hits. That's a lot of interest. Timothy Perper (talk) 06:53, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Still later: guess what the top item is on the list of 170,000 hits? It's this Wiki article. Timothy Perper (talk) 11:44, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. The very first thing I did when setting up my CSE was throw in a ton of blacklists to get rid of mirrors and mechanical variations on Wikipedia. It is of course possible that Wikipedia could get used for PR and the consequences of the PR subsequently make something notable, but that is rarely the case and we should stick to sources which are independent of Wikipedia... --Gwern (contribs) 05:28 9 July 2010 (GMT)

I agree in part -- but I don't see that Wikipedia itself can "make" something notable. In fact, my impression is that fans ignore Wikipedia, not that that flatters us, but I don't read fans talking about "Wiki says this" or "Wiki says that" when I read fan-written material. I sincerely doubt that the majority of those 170,000 hits are Wiki mirror sites, but I'll go test that next and let you know what happens. So we're still stuck with a lot of fan interest in "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa." I'll be back in a bit. Timothy Perper (talk) 11:43, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just googled a few pages using "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" with various other terms. This time I got 154,000 hits for "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa." I went through the first few pages and then sampled; I found lots and lots of download sites (this manga really is popular) but no Wiki mirror sites. When I searched for various combinations of the title plus "wiki" or "wikipedia" I got far fewer -- "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" +wiki = 1490 sites (= 1490/154000 < 1%); "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" +wikipedia = 1100 sites (= 1100/154000 < 1%). So it doesn't look like many of those 154,000 sites are Wikipedia mirror sites. I also found a few Spanish-language download sites (which I won't give the URLs for!) so there is at least some interest in "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" among fans who read Spanish. This manga seems to be quite popular. Timothy Perper (talk) 12:27, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. I forgot to mention. I also searched Google using the language option, asking for results in French only and in German only for "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa". I wanted to see if there are scanlations in languages other than English, and the answer is Yes. Once again, I will NOT provide the URLs.
And maybe it'd be wise to say this again. I am not saying that we need to cite any of these scanlations; in fact, I oppose doing that. But we also need to understand that scanlations are a measure of popularity, illegal as it might be, among fans. The existence of a French-language version of "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" indicates that at least some Francophone manga fans are willing to break the law to obtain copies of this manga. The same is true for US fans. My point is once again that these facts indicate that "Boku no Futatsu no Tsubasa" is in fact quite popular, and therefore de facto "notable." Timothy Perper (talk) 13:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If, one day, someone can demonstrate it passes WP:BK, then we can revisit. Because of that popularity, we definitely need to keep a redirect as a probable search term. —Quasirandom (talk) 13:55, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is an unreferenced BLP about someone who works for the UFC. When I went to the UFC web page and searched for his name, I got 0 hits (making me wonder how crucial he is to the UFC). The article fails to show notability and has been tagged for a lack of references for over a year. He's listed as a martial artist, but he fails WP:MANOTE. If this article can be sourced and rewritten to show notability (instead of being an ad), I'd be happy to see it kept. Papaursa (talk) 21:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep & I'll improve once the AFD is completed - Silva is vital to UFC. He books every single match-up. However, the article is shocking at the moment. Stub status however, is not a reason for deletion here. Paralympiakos (talk) 21:42, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's money-where-the-mouth-is time now, not later. Vague handwaving that you might do something unspecified at some unspecified point in the future isn't good enough. Where are the sources that you could work from to write an article on this? Lack of sources very much is a reason for deletion, and has been per Wikipedia:Deletion policy pretty much all along. Our content policies apply strictly in the cases of biographies. Cite sources now. Uncle G (talk) 00:11, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Why would someone do that in the middle of an AFD? It's just prone to deletion even so, thus ramping up deleted edits. Pointless. Paralympiakos (talk) 10:23, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Because it's the way to make a keep argument that actually holds water, which your vague handwaving does not. I repeat: cite sources now. They are your only argument. Uncle G (talk) 11:50, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Papaursa's research. Sorry, Paralympiakos, but UncleG is right. Reyk YO! 12:46, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • One doesn't even need to add the references to the article, presenting them here in the AFD would be sufficient to allow editors to review and decide on notability. Of course, adding them to the article would be best. -- Whpq (talk) 19:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is this the same guy mentioned in all the Google news results for "Joe Silva" AND "Wrestling"? [4] Decades ago, did he get news coverage for winning wrestling matches in the 110 pound category? If its him getting coverage, then that counts as notable. Dream Focus 15:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - non-notable, unreferenced BLP. Fails WP:GNG and WP:MANOTE. At best, a mention in UFC or another appropriate article would suffice. SnottyWong comment 15:56, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No references and no notability shown. 131.118.229.82 (talk) 16:55, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - [5], [6], [7], [8], and [9] all mention him to varying degrees as the UFC matchmaker. but aside from that, I can find no toher information being written about him. If there were some profile write up in a martial arts magazine or something along those lines, then this would tip over to a keep. -- Whpq (talk) 19:31, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep He is UFC's matchmaker. A Google search for "Joe Silva" and UFC comes up with 198,000 results. Most of the hits are MMA related news sites that reference him being the UFC matchmaker/booker. However, looking through the results, there seems to be very little information about Silva himself. I think he is notable, but the problem may be writing a decent article about him. --TreyGeek (talk) 02:03, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I created this page after I came across the wiki page for the NCBL which is essentially the same league as the GHBL, only the NCBL encompasses players from south eastern Ontario and the GHBL from south central Ontario (about 4 hours apart by car). The leagues are of similar size (35 teams NCBL, 27 teams GHBL) and skill level (4 Tiers NCBL, 3 Tiers GHBL). One of the GHBL Burlington teams has competed in and twice won the annual NCBL tournament. In my opinion if the NCBL has a wiki page the GHBL should have one as well. — Beerbaseman (talk) 02:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I am new here, ok now I understand. So if I can find an independent newspaper article outlining the growth of the league, or an article about fundraising and the league's effect on the community, etc, than that infers Notability. I am not sure what else I can find, my only argument was from inclusion of the NCBL article. This is a new league so maybe it will need to sustain itself for a number of years before it gains Notability. Thanks for the comments. Beerbaseman (talk) 14:40, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Indeed, newspaper, magazine, etc., something edited, independent of the source (e.g., not a reprinted press release, so [11] wouldn't count), Your understanding is appreciated, saying something is "non-notable" can be confusing and offputting, but it's not personal, just about having enough reliable secondary sources to write a good article.

    • Keep - as per Colonel Warden, is recieving significant national coverage, as as per WP:N/CA and "Intense media coverage can confer notability on a high-profile criminal act". This is lead headline in pretty much every UK national newspaper and tv news outlet for two days. At the very least, deletion should be delayed as per WP:EVENT - "Articles about breaking news events —particularly biographies of participants— are often rapidly nominated for deletion. As there is no deadline, it is recommended to delay the nomination for a few days to avoid the deletion debate dealing with a moving target and to allow time for a clearer picture of the notability of the event to emerge" OwainDavies (about)(talk) edited at 08:23, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Rename and change emphasis to event. BLP1E states "In such cases, it is usually better to merge the information and redirect the person's name to the event article." I believe that the event itself has received enough high profile coverage to not fall foul of WP:NOTNEWS. Given the nature of the crimes, this is highly unlikely to be a flash in the pan news story.

    • Keep - for now at least and see how it progresses. There's a new twist to this story today with police now saying they have been dealing with a hostage situation, and the apparent arrest of two suspects on conspiracy to commit murder charges, who were previously believed to have been hostages. If we were to keep this it would have to be renamed to something different such as Northumbria shootings or Tyneside shootings (apologies for any title errors here, I'm not familiar with the area). There have been several days of news coverage now and multiple events, so it probably passes the WP:BLP1E and WP:NOTABILITY tests. Does it pass WP:NOTNEWS? Possibly. Crimes such as this are rare in the UK, but sadly becoming more frequent. One other thing, the article will need some serious work to improve it. TheRetroGuy (talk) 11:19, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: I've been pretty bold and moved the article. This shouldn't affect whether it's kept or not, but should be correct per WP:MOS.

    • Comment from nominator. At this point there does seem to be significant coverage of the event. However, it's still a one-time event for the person. In these cases, it is typical that the person's name redirects to the event article. That's what we have now. I think everything is in good shape after MattGirling's move.

    I previously speedied this, but there's at least some assertion this time and it's not pure advertising, so bringing to AfD. The mention from the Washington Post is trivial and in passing, and does not cover the subject of the article in any depth.

    • Delete - fails WP:POLITICIAN. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 18:45, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • The initial article from Hip Hop Republican is not an advertisement, but a profile of the candidate. For those who are interested in learning about the candidate, the profile of Mr. Hedgepeth details personal information about him.

      Dave Hedgepeth is a political candidate and therefore it would be advantageous to both residents of Washington DC and Wikipedia viewers to have a page on him. While the coverage of him in the media is not comparable to a movie star or a candidate that became a living sensation overnight (see Alvin Greene), he has appeared on local television, the radio and been mentioned in the printed media as well. I sincerely hope you reconsider and I promise to continue to update the page with objective information about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonsmandel (talk • contribs) 21:50, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      • Wikipedia is not about rectifying what you perceive to be unfair political coverage. It is about systematizing existing human knowledge, already acknowledged by the world at large and properly published outside of Wikipedia. We don't write biographies in the way that you are doing. For reasons that are well-known and that one would have had to have actually tried fairly hard to avoid learning over the past few years, we insist that biographies are written properly. You are not writing properly if you cannot show proof to readers, as you write, that, say, this person went to the schools that you claim, or was proud to do various things. (How do we know xe was proud? Who researched this and recorded the fact? What proof outside of potentially self-serving autobiography do you have of anything claimed about this person?) If the world has not already independently and reliably documented a person's life and works in depth outside of Wikipedia, that person cannot have xyr life and works documented in Wikipedia. Uncle G (talk) 00:00, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I'm not sure if I quite understand how "Uncle G" can accuse my page to have been written improperly when 1) he himself does not use correct spelling or grammar and 2) numerous sites do not cite every single detail. I do admit using the word "proud" was a mistake, but I think it would be a bigger mistake to remove the page based on this subjective gauge you all are using on the candidate's coverage in the media. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.201.252.98 (talk) 20:58, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete per Uncle G and VQuakr. The subject fails because under our notability guidelines, a politician must normally be elected first to a major office, before being considered notable for the reason of being involved in politics. Candidates for office are rarely considered automatically eligible for inclusion, barring special circumstances. Even if he were elected to this office, it is not entirely clear that he'd be considered notable per se. While legislators at the state and national level, and mayors of large cities, are considered notable, I can't recall any consensus about DC councillors. If he got elected Mayor of Washington, DC, then he would be considered notable. Based on past precedent at AfD, city councillors, even of large cities, are almost never notable -- unless they are at large, act as president pro tempore, or get substantial media coverage, for example, Harvey Milk or Carol Schwartz. A quick search of sources finds nothing that proves notability. Hedgepeth fails, for now, at being notable enough. Bearian (talk) 22:51, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It is appropriate to have an article like this for every broad topic (or at least each popular broad topic) that warrants it by having a sufficient group of articles (where the line is I do not know--perhaps 30 to 50 articles). That other forms of navigation could do this alwso is not a factor--we can have as many as we like as long as people will maintain them.

    • Weak Keep Something like this is a useful navigational aid that would be worsened by translation into a list or category. I'd prefer to see it translate to a collapsable template (that could be included on all the relevant Google articles), which I think would be even a stronger navigational aid, but I would !vote keep even if that weren't an option. --j⚛e deckertalk 20:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC) (Weakened after my understanding was corrected by Quiddity below) --j⚛e deckertalk 04:23, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete per Quiddity, whose reasoning I'm going to repeat and expand upon. First off, the outline is awfully redundant to Template:Google Inc. (obviously). In addition, List of Google products does an excellent job of not only listing, but also describing Google's many products (while doing it with far more items than the outline lists). I kind of like the idea of outlines, but when the previously-mentioned template and the list of products exist, I see no reason to keep the outline which is not only redundant, but also seems to be less comprehensive (and as such less useful) than the other pages. Of course, the outline can be expanded to be extremely comprehensive (which is why using its lack of comprehension as a reason for deletion is not a good one by even my own standards), but even if it is fixed up, it would still be pretty redundant IMO, and as such is unneeded. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 03:06, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Yep, I know, I stated (or at least tried to) that it's not a valid reason for deletion at the end of my comment myself. My view on it is that it is simply repetitive, no matter if it is cleaned up and expanded to the full extent. But that's just my opinion. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 11:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I do not think "repetitive" -- or "redundant" applies here. There are multiple ways to organize articles in WP. outlines are one of them, and there is no reason to delete them just because the other ways exist also. Categories, lists, outlines, templates--it may sound like too many, but as there is no consensus on which of the works best, and every likelihood each of them may work best for some particular purpose purposes. If people are willing to maintain it there is no reason to delete it. DGG ( talk ) 04:12, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep for now at least. I am a supporter of the general purpose of these outlines and I do think this one in particular goes beyond the existing list, template, and category. That being said, we don't appear to have much criteria for the inclusion or exclusion of outlines so I would suggest that the practice on their deletion would get written down somewhere.

    • Keep In the context of Australian writers (authors) on Share Trading Guppy is probably the most successful in terms of international acceptance and recognition. To describe him as a non-notable TV commentator may be correct in a US context or even among Australian TV commentators, but totally ignores his authorship of the books listed on the page I established and the scale of his operations as a businessman. The combination of authorship, publishing business, international offices, TV commentator on financial matters, speaker at Financial conferences alongside people like Bollinger, and having invented a technical analysis technique that has been included in some charting software (Metastock) altogether makes him notable as an Australia financial writer dinghy (talk) 01:17, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Lots of claims that he is notable yet still not a single independent source showing he is notable. Having a vast bibliography is not an indication of notability. Ridernyc (talk) 16:02, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Response: your original reason cited for non-notable ignored most of the reasons why Guppy is notable in his field and focussed on a minor aspect of his work. Now you are changing reasons. But your new reason has already been found wanting by other editors (see above). Guppy is quoted on one of the most popular US based Financial websites, Seeking Alpha, which is what prompted me to do the page, given he is an internationally know Australian financial writer:Seeking Alpha search Please read the "About" page of Seeking Alpha before dismissing it. Of all the other Australian financial (investment) authors, which are more notable by comparison and why? This would help me understand your objections.

      • Yeah, modern music from what I have heard is generally nu-metal and metalcore. I have yet to hear of one band that is purely this "alternative metal". I feel that this genre is just an excuse to escape another genre that's generally have gotten bad press. If I can have a list of bands that are of the alt-metal genre and nothing else, I'll drop my nomination.--F-22 RaptörAces High♠ 19:17, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep. While I understand your waryness of Allmusic's metal coverage ("WHO is black metal? Linkin Park? Riiiight"), in this case the term is very legitimate. It's been thrown around by at least a dozen publications. If you feel the article's presentation leaves something.to be desired, fix it, but wholesale deletion is the exactly wrong answer. --King Öomie 19:23, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Looking at that source actually strengthened my opinion about alternative metal. Let me point out this quote "Alternative metal can sometimes also be called nu-metal, but as we’ll see, that is but one of the many offshoots of this ever-evolving genre." I also would like to point out the bands they call "alternative metal". Staind - Post-Grunge, not even metal. Living Colour - Funk Metal. Faith No More - Funk Metal. Tool - Progressive Metal, Korn - Nu-Metal, Papa Roach - Nu-Metal, System of a Down - Nu-Metal. Chevelle - Post-Grunge, not even metal. Disturbed - Nu-Metal. Slipknot - Nu-Metal. The article strengthens how alternative metal and nu-metal are practically the same genre.--F-22 RaptörAces High♠ 23:26, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    But all of you people are just bringing up a bunch of random sources that most are not even from a music-based website, and stating that as your argument to keep this article. It would be greatly appreciated that people who actually specialize in music articles would be the only ones allowed to vote, because so far, nobody has made their POV arguments on what alternative metal is without going on Google, stating a number of results. Big deal, I can type in "pirate metal" and get 1,150,000 results when that is clearly part of the folk metal genre, or even typing in some absurd thing like "bloody metal" yields 5,070,000 results. Using Google in this argument is invalid to me. One more thing is, I've must've asked this like a thousand times, What is the difference between nu-metal and alternative metal?. Essentially, it can't be proven I guess.--F-22 RaptörAces High♠ 03:38, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    What is the difference between nu-metal and alternative metal? It's clear that there is much overlap, and it seems that different music writers make different distinctions between them. For example: A Newsday article by Rafer Guzmán (April 18, 2004; p. C10) seems to suggest that alternative metal has more grunge influences: "...rock radio has returned to the grunge-influenced sound known as alternative metal. Among the more popular practitioners: Smile Empty Soul, Finger Eleven and Three Days Grace." In contrast, "In the late 1990s, the so-called nu-metal bands tried to permanently erase the memory of grunge with a mix of rap and rock. Limp Bizkit, in particular..." Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 04:47, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey, Paul, I'm not exactly which side you're on. And Raptor, this isn't a vote. Erpert (let's talk about it) 07:03, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, sorry for not being clear. I was mostly responding to F-22 Raptor's question ("What is the difference between nu-metal and alternative metal?"). But I was pointing to a source—the Newsday article, which discusses the evolution of heavy metal subgenres—where distinction is made between "nu-metal" and "alternative metal", so that's an argument to keep both articles. The fact that definitions or examples are hard to pin down is not, to me, a convincing argument to get rid of an article altogether. The article can cover, in a neutral way, what different music writers have said about the alternative metal genre. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 15:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

      • (edit conflict) So if I created a page about a specific brand of sofa that wasn't a best-seller, or about an artist who made one painting that was sold at a cra boot sale, would those pages be justified just because "it's about a sofa" or "it's about an artist." The problem is that just because it is an online newspaper doesn't mean it deserves to have its own Wikipedia article, it has to be notable, which means it needs to have featured in several reliable sources, which the TTC Times has not.

      • That's still a content-free argument. What the subject is is of little relevance. This is an encyclopaedia of existing human knowledge, that we can demonstrate the world to have already acknowledged and reliably and properly recorded and published outside of Wikipedia, where subjects only warrant articles where the world has independently recorded in-depth knowledge beyond single factoids and directory entries.

    This man is apparently notable for only one event - being an assistant referee for the 1994 FIFA World Cup Final. Linesmen are not typically notable unless they go on to become proper referees. Even Fanaei's other claims to notability are not that special, as there were several other linesmen at the 1992 Summer Olympics and the 1995 King Fahd Cup, and others have been named AFC Linesman of the Year. – PeeJay 14:10, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment. I would take issue with the relevance of the nominator's statement that "linesmen are not typically notable unless they go on to become proper referees", as nobody gets to be a linesman at the World Cup, let alone at the final, without being an experienced "proper referee" in a national league. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:55, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • This is not true. The English linesmen at the 2010 World Cup, Darren Cann and Mike Mullarkey, are not full-time referees in one of the English national leagues; they are linesmen. That said, I don't know about the situation of the other linesmen at the World Cup, nor can I comment on previous World Cups. Nevertheless, I have seen no evidence that Mohammad Fanaei has ever been a proper referee, either in Iran or in a FIFA match. – PeeJay 02:31, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep. I oppose deletion of this article as it is consistent with other articles appearing on Category:Lists of songs by authors or performers. I modelled the article on List of songs written by Bob Dylan. As regards specificity, can you be more specific as to exactly what is too specific so that I can address that editorially? Also, can you explain "prod"?(smjwalsh (talk) 14:51, 5 July 2010 (UTC))[reply]
    Encyclopaedias are intended to give an overview of a subject, not an exhaustive listing of details. See WP:PROD for an explanation of prod. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 15:06, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for pointing me in the direction of the WP:PROD page. Although I've been editing on Wikipedia for almost 5 years, I am not familiar with most of the jargon. I agree with you about the nature of encyclopaedias, but there seems to be within WP list articles whereby an extensive and sometimes even exhaustive list of items is included. I referenced the list of Bob Dylan songs, as well as the category of lists of songs etc (see above). Another example: The List of songs recorded by Frank Sinatra article lists 957 songs (greater than the equivalent Norman article). As there is clear cut precedent for this type of article (I am familiar with the stuff exists article), this article is thus legitimate. Also, as discographies are permitted, then a listing of songs ought also to be included. Finally, on WP it says: "List articles are encyclopedia pages" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lists).(smjwalsh (talk) 15:37, 5 July 2010 (UTC))[reply]

    The Song Matrix referred to in your comment is referenced in the relevant articles. However, while the above source is the primary source, it is not the only one.

    • Keep. Whilst I do understand concerns as regards duplication of the primary source, it seems clear that user smjwalsh has plans to make this wiki list more encompassing and complete than the source. I see no downside in allowing him to continue in his endeavour. More importantly perhaps, I cannot find any grounds for deletion based on the fact that the article is a list or "unencyclopedic". Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lists) indicates the acceptability of "A Discography page presents a listing of all recordings which a musician or singer features.". Given that Wikipedia rules appear to explicitly allow for such lists, and the fact that there are precedents in existence, I see no reason to insist upon deletion of this article.

    Comment: Unsourced, yes. Utterly lacking notability? Not so sure. Pathetically, the first RS-seeming google-search result [19] has text copied from this Wikipedia article itself (from what I can tell by the article's edit history and from the date of the event described at that link.) Pretty cheesy for Harvard, not to mention inauspicious for clearing the notability bar. A lot of the other hits are echoes, sites where might one ask to be listed as a favor (or pay to be listed).
    But then there's this [20] on a Washington Post page, though it's admittedly a blog. There's a short piece on him in a Sri Lankan newspaper [21]. And one from the Tehran Times: [22]. Very low notability in English, and I don't see any article for him in French; certainly if it's kept, the blurb/resume tone should be remedied, and the unverifiable content removed.

    Firstly, do you have an independent reliable source for that? Secondly, notability is not inherited. Someone who cleans the floors at Microsoft's headquarters is part of a very notable business, but is not notable.

    Delete This is a minor actor with no notability. The article gives no sources except IMDb. Most of his television work consisted of individual appearances in single episodes of series. Extensive searching has failed to produce a single example of a reliable independent source giving significant coverage. Mostly there are entries in listing sites, passing mentions in articles about other people, etc. There is even at least one source which indicates a lack of notability: http://www.zetaminor.com/dvd/dvdreviews/star_cops.htm says "Apart from a brief appearance in Supergirl, and guest spots in The New Statesman, Casualty and Stay Lucky, Evans film and TV career didn’t amount to much".

    • Keep Thank you for the reference directions. I am the current account holder for (MediaMNG) and we have been responding by updating many of the link/footnotes to independent 3rd parties. Many of the links to the primary site actually demonstrate and/or link to independent 3rd party material, though since newer direct ones have been added we can delete some of these. Imdb is a commonly used independent 3rd party, and widely accepted and discretionary reference. There are additionally links to reviews which are often changing or less permanent which is why we've referenced imdb on several accounts (many of the references are to different pages on imdb though as well).

    In the Notability page, under the Entertainers section, Sebastian Siegel has exceeded the defined terms on many accounts as being the following: "Actors, opinion makers, models, and television personalities: Having had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, or other productions." Lost, The Family that Preys, Reign of Fire, Family Guy, CSI Miami are some of the most successful tv/film productions, and particularly on Lost, The Family that Preys, and in the independent films, Atheist, In my Life, Indie is Great, his characters have been integral to driving the plots of these films or episodes. He is represented by one of the highest level management firms, Evolution, which also represent: Charlie Sheen, Lee Daniels, Kevin Dillon, Kelly LeBrock, Rick Fox (Notable entertainers, directors, actors).

    As a filmmaker, his film, "Love, Sex & Religion" is confirmed on imdb and in photographs to have a growing "cast" list of vastly popular (and "Notable" by wikipedia standards) actors, personalities, scholars and public figures such as Ken Wilber, Taylor Dayne and James Whitmore.

    As a model he has appeared on the covers of a greater variety of health/bodybuilding/fitness magazines (footnoted to 3rd party footage and documents) than almost anyone else (we multiply referenced to those covers), transcending that unique category with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Joe Weider - with an additional weight of notability being that he is an all natural athlete, and has shot significant campaigns with the most prolific artists in the adjacent industry of fashion.

    As a personality he has played the lead roles in some of the most groundbreaking, successful, and widely seen comedic campaigns, from Green Tea Partay (footnoted) to Geico, all in collaboration with other Notable entertainers.

    We will place the template {{merge|OTHERPAGE|discuss=Talk:THIS PAGE#Merger proposal|date=May 2024}} at the top of the page for Love, Sex & Relgion and delete those aspects within the Sebastian Siegel page once it's no longer in discussion for deletion.

His work on Lost and The Family That Preys were significant and moved the story forward. Nothing on this page is inaccurate. If these sources are not acceptable, what would be? One could easily find these shows and films online or at a rental store and see for themselves if Sebastian's roles were noteworthy. I have personally gone through the sources in question and they are they are all on point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter midnight2000 (talk • contribs) 07:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC) — Peter midnight2000 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    • Keep this article. While the article is well referenced anyone doubting the validity of the statements can see abundant additional supporting content with the most redumentary search including video clips from highly regulated network television. What could possibly be the motivation for questioning the legitimacy of this page? from the comments above is it possible that a single person can remove valid information and for what purpose? I think it would be helpful for SummerPhD to explain his/her rational here? how does (s)he know Mr. Seigel? what specifically are the factual objections? clearly this subject matter seems completely outside of the subject matter SummerPhD typicaly focuses on? why has summerPhD ignored the creator of the article's efforts to address comments in favor of such a draconian campaign to delete the page? Isn't the purporse of Wiki to share information rather than subtrefuse it? If these issues can not be addressed how can anyone vote to remove this article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.42.198.108 (talk) 08:44, 10 July 2010 (UTC) — 75.42.198.108 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

      • Comment - The subject of the article is not notable unless and until he is the subject of significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Wikipedia reports on notable subjects by summarizing information from independent reliable sources (not IMDb, youtube, flickr, other wikis, etc.). If you feel that my edits or editing are questionable in any way, this is not the forum for that discussion, there are plenty of questionable edits in this discussion. Those edits/editor(s) should be handled through our dispute resolution procedures. - SummerPhD (talk) 11:29, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep this article. Sebastian has substantial industry credits and is well known in the Hollywood community. He portrayed a key role in Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys and appeared in two episodes of the Emmy Award-winning series Lost, not to mention countless fitness magazine covers.

      • Comment - The "good weight" is from sock puppets of the COI account (your editing history is interesting). The links to IMDb, other wiki projects, youtube, flickr, etc. are worthless as far as notability goes.

    • Delete. There is no evidence at all this person meeds WP:AUTHOR or WP:BIO. A few articles published in some very minor journals does not come close to showing that the subject is "regarded as an important figure". Given its nature, having a book printed by PublishAmerica is no evidence at all of notability.No independent reliable source supports any of the article. The sole substantive author of the article (Msegedy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) confirms that he is the subject of the article ("The article about me") which would support the hypothesis that the article is solely promotional in nature.

      • THIS IS NOT A PAY FOR PUBLICATION - PUBLISH AMERICA WAS NOT PAID TO PUBLISH HAMPTON ROAD. Apart form the journals mentioned above, the kafka.com site is a reputable site and the author has an article published here as well. DO you have to be famous to have a wiki published about you? If so, delete the article. If you have reputable references to your work and have published a novel (not pay to publish - which PublishAmerica is not - though it is a lot of other terrible things), then why is this author not entitled to have an article about him in wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.235.54.75 (talk • contribs)
        • Bluntly, yes, you have to be famous to have an article about Wikipedia. No, you're certainly not "entitled" to an article about yourself in Wikipedia. We're not claiming the sources supplied are not "reputable", we're claiming they don't show notability, to the standards listed in WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR. And yes, if there's no significantly better evidence, we're going to delete the article. Arguing with us will help not a jot; only providing real solid evidence of notability will help. -- Finlay McWalter • Talk 16:04, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete, this article was started by the subject himself with nothing more than a link to his book on Amazon. He's done the majority of the editing. We can't consider this unbiassed writing - and with such an acute lack of references and the thinnest of claims for notability, we have to delete it.

    Delete or Merge to Nonie Darwish. Non notable article about something that is run from a blog that gets rarely updated: http://arabsforisrael.blogspot.com/ A lot of this article is about Nonie Darwish herself and not her organization. Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 21:56, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Question. Who said it's "run from a blog" or that the blog is even a semi-important part of the organization?--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:59, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    The blog is the organizations main website? Isn't it? --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 22:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I would surmise that an organization would not consider its blog as its main website. The organization appears to receive significant coverage in reliable sources, so if your basis for deletion/merge is that the blog is not updated frequently, perhaps we should clarify whether the blog is even an integral part of the organization, let alone its main website.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 22:06, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I have searched on the web and it looks like the blog is the organizations only website, do you know any other website? And this organization is not covered in reliable sources, a Google search shows its mostly mentioned in blogs, forums, other shady websites etc. The only reliable source I could find was from the telegraph.co.uk[33] but that article was about Nonie Darwish herself and not the organization "Arabs For Israel". --Supreme Deliciousness (talk) 22:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Hmm, you may be right, especially about those "shady websites." :) I would support a merge into Nonie Darwish if so supported by a consensus.--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 22:24, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep it is a notable organization, there are a significant number of reliable sources, four of which are cited in the article. Topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article. Marokwitz (talk) 06:05, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Merge There is no evidence that this actually is an organisation; all I can see is that it exists as a website/blog. Certainly there is nothing to indicate that this is notable enough to have its own article. Anything not already included in the Nonie Darwish article can be added there.

    • Merge into Muslim Zionism. Shii (tock) 05:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note it makes no sense to merge into Muslim Zionism since it is a group of Arabs, not Muslims. Marokwitz (talk) 05:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Strong keep. I am surprized with the arguments of the nominator: there are sufficient reliable sources to identify notability of the association. --Sulmues Let's talk 20:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep - agree that merge makes no sense. There do appear to be sufficient third party sources to support notability. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓ • TALK ◄| 02:20, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    1983 United Kingdom general election result in Essex[edit]

    Previously PRODded article - by myself - saying that it was "a completely unnecessary list of the 1983 election results in Essex. All of the information is already available at both List of MPs elected in the United Kingdom general election, 1983 and the various constituencies' articles." It was deprodded without improvement or reasoning, so it's brought here. (It should be noted that I had forgotten about this and only came across it when looking for something else.)

    • Comment. Whilst I feel going down to one county for an individual election is a bit much, I can see a use for grouping electoral information by county. Could we work this information (and other elections) into List of Parliamentary constituencies in Essex? Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 07:40, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment -- there appear to be equivalent articles for 1979 and 1983, but I have never heard of anything similar for other counties. It might be useful to have a single article on all election results in Essex; certainly including County Council ones; possibly also district ones, assuming that the district electoral arrangements for all districts are sufficiently similar to make this possible. I assume we are dealing with the present county, not all the places whose address is "Essex", which probably includes places now in Greater London. However, this ought not to remain the only county with an article of this kind. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:16, 4 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete As the nominator notes, this list of the winners of the 17 different seats in Essex is already part of the list of the winners of the general election. As with others, I see no reason to keep this. In addition, I see plenty of reasons to delete, the main one being the prospect of zillions of sub-articles called "19___ election for the seats that were located in ____" Mandsford 16:13, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    To be considered notable, an article does not need to meet a quantifiable checklist of specific accomplishments; it need only be referenced to one or more reliable sources, which this is. Furthermore, Hawksley Workman, Serena Ryder and their album articles do all require somewhere to link to in the "label" field of their infoboxes. And for that matter, how on earth does the article fail WP:V in any way, shape or form? Keep. Bearcat (talk) 21:05, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Disagree both the WP:GNG and WP:CORP lay down that a subject of an article should have received significant coverage. as it says in WP:CORP ""Notable" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance," and even organizations that editors personally believe are "important" are only accepted as notable if they can be shown to have attracted notice. No organization is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of organization it is." The info boxes can list the label without an wp article. Codf1977 (talk) 16:08, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I am not able to read most of the refs as they do not have links however :
    "Prolific songwriter laments the death of the record store" Winnipeg Free Press looks like it is more about Hawksley Workman than Isadora judging by the title.
    "Hawksley's moxie" - Maclean'sagain judging by the title is more about Hawksley Workman; and
    "Serena Ryder: Unlikely Emergency: Isadora Records" - The Boston Globe looks like an artical about Unlikely Emergency.
    That leaves the Billboard refs :
    "Canadian singer/songwriter Hawksley Workman lets 'The Wolves' out on his own Isadora label" is likely about the release of the "The Wolves" and the fact that he has started a new record company to do so.
    "Meat-and-Greet" - is unclear what this could be about.
    So given that I can't see how this is record company meets WP:CORP. Codf1977 (talk) 17:50, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    There's significant coverage of the record label in each of the Billboard articles, in the Free Press article, and in the Maclean's article, although it's not apparent just from reading their titles. That some of them are primarily about Workman himself is not a problem for WP:N. And WP:CORP says, "Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability", but this is not trivial or incidental coverage.

    Justice League Antarctica[edit]

    From the out-of-universe perspective, this "group" is just one of the jokes made by Keith Giffen during his run with the Justice League. It lasted for a single issue (and it wasn't even their own issue, but a common Annual of the Justice League comic book). It's right that the characters were a recurring "villain" team during Giffen's run, but as the Injustice League. That's the way they were always referenced. It can't be compared with Justice League Europe, a spin-of of the League published by the same time: JLE had its own title, its own story arcs, its own members with leaving and joining people along the publishing history, characters created in this comic book title, etc. In short, a spin-of notable enough to deserve an article of its own, and all those reasons are missing in "Justice League Antarctica".
