Personology[edit]

There doesn't seem to be any substantial difference between the subject of this article and the subject of Physiognomy. The article hasn't been edited in months, so I don't expect there are editors around to explain. .froth. (talk) 23:05, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. This article appears to be about a variety of physiognomy, independently developed in the 1930s. Possible merger candidate. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:15, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Katrin Owusu[edit]

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

Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWs of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO. ttonyb (talk) 22:25, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article as I am a student studying marketing, particularly looking at the Third Sector and Charities. Katrin Owusu's frankly groundbreaking work in founding Ctrl.Alt.Shift makes her a key figure in my studies and that of other students. I believe that she satisfies the criteria laid out in WP:BIO as she has been the subject of several published secondary source articles in the UK broadsheets. These are reliable, intellectually independent, independent of the subject and referenced in the article I created. MehdiWard (talk) 22:58, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – A minor mention of the individual is not "non-trivial" coverage. The articles appear to be primarily about Ctrl.Alt.Shift. ttonyb (talk) 23:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've examined all 11 links provided in the article, and Ms. Owusu is not actually the subject of any of those stories. In fact, I could not locate any published story mentioning Ms. Owusu that was about her personally, as opposed to being about Ctrl.Alt.Shift or Christian Aid (or charitable work in general). Notability is not inherited by one subject from another. Please see WP:NOTINHERITED, which specifically states, "Similarly, parent notability should be established independently; notability is not inherited 'up', from notable subordinate to parent, either: not every manufacturer of a notable product is itself notable." — Satori Son 23:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaning ads targeted to women[edit]

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

Contested PROD. This article is simply a personal essay espousing a specific opinion. It is a clear case of WP:OR and WP:NOT#ESSAY.Jezebel'sPonyo ^shhh 20:37, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP:OR. If properly written and sourced per Wikipedia standards, this bit would be a good addition to Targeted advertising. (BTW: Other than the ones for Goop and diesel-powered shop vacs, aren't all cleaning ads targeted to women anyway?) Location (talk) 20:49, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Interesting idea for a school assignment, but Wikipedia isn't the place to do homework. Note to Great Boron-- probably a good idea to save this to your hard drive before it's deleted. Plus, make sure to have a conclusion of some sort before you turn it in. Let me know on my talk page what grade you got. Mandsford 13:03, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Redundant to targeted advertising and demographics, and simply not written in encyclopedia style. If it's a class assignment, "the Wikipedia admins ate my homework" is a perfectly good excuse: Have you ever noticed in cleaning commercials that woman are always the ones doing all the cleaning? Do you ever notice any men doing the cleaning? Rarely do you see a man doing anything more then sitting on some sort of couch or recliner. Clearly women are the target market. Don't believe me, check out some of the examples below. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:19, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Marcy Winograd[edit]

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

The only aparrent notability of this subject is her political ambition but, per WP:POLITICIAN, unelected candidates are not inherently notable and redirection to the relevant election is appropriate. In the absense of any other notability, and with no target for redirection that I could find, Delete seems to be the only option. I42 (talk) 20:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete She's never been elected, has lost election twice. It is cool that she's trying again after two defeats, but she doesn't meet notability. -WarthogDemon 20:22, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:POLITICIAN. I would be OK with a redirect if she were a candidate in a general election, but she is not. I'm not certain if there is a precedent for redirecting primary candidates to the seat they are attempting to win (i.e. California's 36th congressional district). Location (talk) 21:01, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom. Fails WP:POLITICIAN as no "significant" direct reliable sources can be found for the subject. She receives only minor if any verifiable local press because sources have to or should list all candidates in the race to ensure fair politcal coverage. ----moreno oso (talk) 19:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non Notable family name. Arjun^codename024 18:43, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: WikiProject Anthroponymy has been informed of this ongoing discussion. Arxiloxos (talk) 19:59, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep We had discussed about this article once and came to a conclusion to keep this article. Interestingly this article is again nominated for deletion by the same user Arjun! There is nothing wrong with the article. There are enough References and External links. It is a prominent family name in Kerala, India and is worth keeping. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.129.40 (talk) 20:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note:This user has made no other edits apart from the edits on this page on en.wiki.

That's strange. I do not see any deletion discussion for this article before, that you refer to. Any links? prashanthns (talk) 20:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the link: —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.129.40 (talk) 20:15, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Arjun is perfectly entitled to nominate the article here at AFD if a WP:PROD or WP:CSD nomination has been declined. - Fayenatic (talk) 20:19, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Dint realise that it was a contested PROD. No issues on nomination, of course. prashanthns (talk) 20:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Undoubtedly. Per conclusions reached at Wikipedia:Deletion policy/names and surnames it has significant history other than just history and genealogy. Needs good sources and improvement, definitely not a delete. prashanthns (talk) 20:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is another important aspect to be considered while you search for Palakkappillil in the internet. This family is known also by the names Payyappilly, Payapilly, Palackapilly etc. Thus it can be spelled differently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.130.47 (talk) 20:25, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also turns up so many internal hits within WP. prashanthns (talk) 20:33, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rewrite as a name page, or merge to Varghese Palakkappillil. At the moment, the article states that it is about the family rather than the name. To keep it as an article about the name, it would help to demonstrate notability if there were at least two persons with the name who were notable enough to have their own articles. Until then, merge and redirect. - Fayenatic (talk) 21:09, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of India-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 00:13, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think there is any need to rewrite or merge the article. The family is more noted for its history rather than its notable members. And if there is a need of two persons with the name who are notable enough to have their own articles, then it is better to start a new page on Dr. Prasant Palakkappillil. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.196.138.146 (talk) 08:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, although members of the family may consider it notable, notability is not shown in the references, and since notability is not transferred, I'm not sure the argument holds that because some individuals are notable, the family is also. --Nuujinn (talk) 16:43, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just because one member of a family is notable doesn't mean that the family is notable. 27.57.130.74 (talk) 18:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note:The user has made only one other edit apart from this on en.wiki.

Redirect to Varghese Palakkappillil. There is no indication that this surname is notable or there is anyone else notable with this surname, per Wikipedia:Deletion policy/names and surnames. --Pink Bull 22:02, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ although the topic should be covered by WP. The title is wrong and the topic could be covered by an Environmental issues with coral reefs or Environmental issues in Taiwan article (well both actually). If the level of development of the topic improves a standalone article can be written. Note that there is an Environmental threats to the Great Barrier Reef article. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:31, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge with Environmental issues with coral reefs now that I have split that article from the coral reef article. A redirect is not necessary, hence the delete request. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 10:20, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep While I agree with the nominator that the article lacks sources and is terribly written, these aren't valid reasons for deletion. Searching sources above, Mbadiwe seems to have been quite a prominent political figure in Nigeria in the 1950s and 1960s. This source lists him as leader of the federal parliamentary party. Covered also in this academic article. A quick search of google books throws up numerous sources which establish him as Minister of aviation and communications. National government ministers are certainly notable. Valenciano (talk) 08:16, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further comment - the problem here seems to have been caused by this edit likely a copyvio, which added all the fluffery. I've gone back to the previous good version of mid-Feb and added refs, which wasn't hard as there are well over 600 of them on google books alone. Valenciano (talk) 11:54, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep after rewriting. It's usually a good idea to be sure before describing someone as "a non-notable person". Nominator was correct only to the extent of describing the article as unsourced, and User:Valenciano has done a great job in rewriting and adding sources [2] is a book filled with info on the man. One sentence from the version that was nominated-- "At various times KO served this country as Minister of Communications, Minister of Aviation, Minister for Lands and Natural Resources, Minister for Trade, Personal Adviser to President Shehu Shagari on National Assembly Affairs, and the first and, so far, only ‘Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary’ of the Federal Republic of Nigeria'"-- should have been enough to describe why the author considered the person notable.

Delete. Actually, this article does make a plausible claim (running a seminary). However, the real problem is that there are no substantive sources that support the claim and demonstrate its notability. In this sense, this article is actually quite similar to the one for Tzvi Berkowitz, where the references are similarly irrelevant (this one is typical).

- Hi David: You are not applying the policy of WP:NOTDIR correctly in this case simply because there is no other way to look at the subject of the Brisk tradition and Soloveitchik dynasty, because they are, er, a famous rabbinic dynasty, as is well known and not disputed in the Torah world or among Talmudic scholars. See also Category:Hasidic dynasties where fame and positions are only inherited dynasty-style and that in turn does make them notable. That's just the way it works in the Haredi and Hasidic circles. This is a case where Wikipedia rules and policies run counter to the reality and facts of a serious subject in Judaism. Perhaps in this case you should go by WP:IGNORE that sometimes also works better than other rules. Hopefully you are well-acquainted with this subject -- and rabbinic dynasty -- and family before you dismiss them all. IZAK (talk) 17:09, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as above, Notability is not inherited and WP:CSD#A7. Bhaktivinode (talk) 03:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, and if not, Merge and Redirect to Yeshiva Toras Moshe where he has a major position in the yeshiva world. Let's be sensible and fair and not shoot Wikipedia in the foot and deprive it of important information (see the chart Mosheh Twersky#Soloveitchik rabbinic dynasty, you can't chop of "branches" based on mis-applying Wikipedia rules). This is a {{rabbi-stub}} that needs time to evolve. More input could have been requested from Judaic editors at WP:TALKJUDAISM, some may have been up to the task of improving this stub. While many famous rosh yeshivas (deans of Talmudic academies) and maggidei shiur (Talmudic lecturers) do not have enough PR and stuff written by and about them, they are nevertheless notable in the Torah world especially of Haredi Judaism. He holds a serious position due to his Talmudic skills and status and not just by dint of his "inheritance" where in any case, especially in the instance of the Brisk tradition and Soloveitchik dynasty he is very notable, one of very few senior lecturers in Talmud. The nominator needs to be very carefully how he applies WP:NOTINHERITED because it can be just as easily applied to the likes of Prince Harry of Wales and Jenna Bush etc etc etc who have done nothing but are purely the products of "inherited fame" and nothing else. IZAK (talk) 17:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- This is the same sort of special pleading you've floated in other, similar AFDs, like for Tzvi Berkowitz, which essentially goes: if you're not jewish, you can't possibly grasp the notability of (subject name here), so you should just believe my testimonial that this person is indeed notable, even though there aren't any of your wiki "sources" that demonstrate my claim. The Berkowitz case earned a nonsensical verdict of "keep", even though quite a number of people, including myself and David Eppstein pointed out that there were 0 WP:RS, but rather only random web flotsam. This article has precisely the same problem, which is why Nomoskedasticity brought it here. The second part of your speech is nothing more than WP:WAX. If you have substantive reliable sources, please add them to the article so we can all have a look. It would certainly compel folks, including myself, to consider changing their !votes. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 20:53, 16 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]
  - Agri: Firstly you choose a very poor example of so-called, ahem, "random web flotsam" when it is actually the opposite, an excellent example of a grouping of America's senior rabbis who deal with Orthodox Iranian Jews and it's an affiliate and inherent part of the prestigious Ner Israel Yeshiva in Baltimore. So you show that you know nothing yet again about this subject by choosing to denigrate the website of an important Iranian Jewish religious project in the USA headed by an elite group of Orthodox rabbis and Rabbi Tzvi Berkowitz is one of them. Honestly, there is no need to get so worked up. If attacking me (violating WP:NPA) makes you feel better go ahead, it has nothing to do with the subject before us. I came across this article today and looked at it dispassionately. I have no qualms in nominating articles about rabbis for deletion or merging, I can back that up, I have done it and and I do it. At any rate, why are you dragging the Rabbi Tzvi Berkowitz AfD verdict in here? It was obviously kept on its merits. Not all articles need to have Harvard or Oxford level sources backing them up, especially articles about living Talmudists who are doing their job, are very notable in their field, hold impressive positions in specialized schools, in this case elite yeshivas of note (and there are few of these around I assure you), and any article starts with the assumption that the editors and users creating it have some knowledge of the subject, that is the way Wikipedia was built up and written for a long time. Feel free to ask for sources or to learn how such men are notable, but to run in and literally attack them and the editors who wrote the articles, as well as myself for simply trying to explain the subject matter is unscholarly, useless and counter-productive. A WP:STUB does not have to have sources, it needs to be built up. What don't I get? After all, this article/stub is not about the janitor or cook or fixer-man of the ruddy place, it's about one of its senior Talmud lecturers, a rarity that requires specialized education to attain and sensitivities to appreciate, like appreciating forms of art. Hope I am making my point rather than being attacked for defending what is obviously important to people in this field. IZAK (talk) 02:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes yes: reply to substantive criticism with more pleading and try to reframe as WP:PA. I think a quote by David Eppstein from the Berkowitz case is particularly apt here: "I trust IZAK that this is an important person within his community. But the standard for inclusion in Wikipedia is not importance, but notability: can his significance be verifiably documented through reliably published third-party sources? The sourcing in this article is very poor, and I was unable to find much better in a Google news archive search. So I am left only with the word of our subject-expert editors that he is important, and while I believe them I don't think that should be sufficient grounds for inclusion." So, in other words, web sites and testimonials aren't acceptable as sources here. Circumventing this fact, as you've proved so adept at doing, tends to devolve all of wikipedia into a "superset of facebook". I now repeat: can you please cease further pleading and just furnish any substantive, reliable sources that would support this person's notability? Agricola44 (talk) 15:14, 17 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]
- Izak, thanks for confirming my prediction that we would see keep !votes but no sources establishing notability. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nomo: So far, I'm the only one who said anything about "Keep" and even so I suggested it may be worth it to "Merge and Redirect" to Yeshiva Toras Moshe the yeshiva he is a senior Talmud lecturer at, so I'm not sure what you are getting at. And yes, a senior lecturer in Talmud at a major yeshiva is a rarity and worthy of some biographical mention in an encyclopedia that wishes to include personalities based on the input and discretion of editors who know something about the subject. There are no doubt many Imams, Ayatollahs, vicars, bishops, priests and holy people of all sorts who are around, that would not easily be removed for fear that their editors would pounce, so it's all very well to pick on these easy soft targets, rather than starting sensible discussions with editors at WP:JUDAISM who may have more input. What is illogical about this? IZAK (talk) 02:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I PRODded this article and the PROD tag was removed a few hours before the seven-day time period expired, by a User who was indefinitely blocked for sockpuppetry less than an hour later. A few days ago I opened a discussion on the WP:Aviation Talk page on the basis of my belief that this article did not need to go through AfD due to WP:SNOW. A couple of Users suggested the incident might be notable for various reasons. One User suggested that the aircraft was carrying the Norwich City football team after its win over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Cup, however that match took place three weeks after this incident. The same User characterised this as an accident, but the AAIB categorised it as an incident; as noted above there were no injuries and there was no damage to the aircraft at all. Another User suggested that the incident might have led to the concrete segments of the airport runway being re-grooved; if this is the case then I suggest that this warrants no more than a one-sentence mention in the airport article. It certainly does not deserve mentioning in the aircraft article. YSSYguy (talk) 13:06, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Someone else has deleted the info from the airport article as not notable, an edit I agree with and one I had already done just prior to PRODding the article in the first place. As I said above, IMO at most this deserves a single sentence in the airport article if the incident led to the grooving of the concrete part of the runway. The runway was 6,043 feet long, of which the last 837 feet was concrete. According to the AAIB report the aircraft was fast on approach and touched down one-third along the runway, the crew were less-than-assertive in slowing the aircraft down, and hydroplaning was not a factor. The AAIB also noted the lower friction of the concrete segement of the runway compared to the ashphalt section; the investigators also calculated that the aircraft was travelling at more than 60 knots when the aircraft entered the concrete segment. This is why I believe that the only basis for notability is if the incident led directly to the concrete being grooved, in which case something along the lines of "The runway surface was grooved in [year] after a BAC 1-11 overran the runway on 29 September 1993" would be sufficient IMO.

commentI had reincluded it very late in the day before continuing investigation into the other incidents involving overruns from the 09 end of 27. These were under differing circumstances and there is not much detail avilable to hand from internet searches on 27 work at the 09 end. The only info readily available was to tarmacing of the 09 end in 2005. As long as it is in the history it can easily be reinstatd if anyone can find more evidence that any or all of these led to resurfacing or regrooving. After 4 hours on it this morning I, for one, cannot find any further info on that.Chaosdruid (talk) 05:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Seems that the issue is the language of the references, as the nominator has marked three Estonian-language sources as "failed verification", while in fact, two of the sources do not fail verification in any way (third is a blog post). I have no opinion on keeping or deleting the article, but it seems that the event is pretty widely represented in press (Google News Search) - and marking valid sources with "failed verification" to nominate the article for deletion seems... not right. --Sander Säde 13:54, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From Template:Failed_verification/doc:

"Use this tag only if a source is given, you have checked the source, and found that the source says something other than what is contained in the text, or for whatever reason is illegible or unreadable."

This tag is also the tag {{Not in citation}} and {{Not specifically in source}}. I looked at the sources and did not see anything to back up the article statement. Please recommend me an alternative tag to use, if you wish. jmcw (talk) 14:16, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did you even attempt to use an automatic translation? We do not require sources to be in English - we prefer English sources, but if there are no English sources, all other languages are perfectly acceptable. If you do not understand the language of the source, then that is not a ground to say that the source failed verification. --Sander Säde 10:08, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please re-read the guideline. Nothing in there says that if you are unable to understand the source, then it becomes invalid or unverifiable. If that would be so, then we would have to throw out half of the Wikipedia, if not more. Please remove now the failed verification tags from verifiable sources and be far, far more careful with such tags in the future. --Sander Säde 12:19, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

if kept, Rename to List of Commander in Chief (TV series) characters, since a commander in chief can be described as a character, and this could be confused with a list of commanders in chief who are characters. 76.66.193.224 (talk) 06:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A rename to List of Commander in Chief (TV series) characters would be inappropriate. Disambiguators are only added to article titles to distinguish them from other articles, not from other potential articles. There is no list of commander-in-chiefs, and even if there was, there would be no need to rename this article; a link to the other article would simply be added to this one in a hatnote. Neelix (talk) 21:56, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It would match the title of the main article, Commander in Chief (TV series), which is something that is done, regardless of the existence of other articles. And we do rename things that are infinitely confusing. 76.66.193.224 (talk) 05:11, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Orange production in Brazil should not be renamed Orange (fruit) production in Brazil so that it matches the main article Orange (fruit). There is no need for this kind of conformity; it unnecessarily complicates the title. Neelix (talk) 09:40, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The title is insufficiently precise to be sufficiently useful as a title. Since the actual title of the program is not "List of Commander in Chief characters" this is a descriptive and not a prescriptive title, so it needs a better name. Since "Commander in Chief" is a rank, and many characters have had that rank, this could easily be interpreted as a list of characters that have a military rank called "Commander in Chief". If you don't like parentheses, how about List of characters from the Commander in Chief television series , which is descriptive and uses an English language phrase, instead. 76.66.193.224 (talk) 23:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "List of x characters" is the established title format for lists of fictional characters; List of characters from the Commander in Chief television series is not an appropriate title because there is no semantic difference justifying a variation in title format. If there was ambiguity with another article, the version with brackets (List of Commander in Chief (TV series) characters) would be correct, but there is no ambiguity with another article. Even if there was a list of commanders-in-chief, the word "characters" and the fact that the word "Chief" is capitalized avoid the ambiguity. The current title is fully acceptable.

Weak keep Although I think that article talk pages are a huge waste of time— if you want to hear yourself talk, go to a talk page, if you want to talk and be listened to, come here— the article itself is a legitimate spinoff of the article about the television show, since political dramas (like The West Wing and 24) often have a large cast of characters. It has plenty of discriminating information in showing who does what (White House aide, U.S. Senator, etc.), and it's better than most of these. For a real piece of crap, see List of Married... with Children cast members, which could take a few lessons from this one. Mandsford 13:39, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of Sailors at the Summer Olympics[edit]

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

No indication of notability, a bolded out of context all caps message doesn't fix the fact there's no real content here. Shadowjams (talk) 08:04, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, At this moment we are working on a upgrade on the articles of Sailing at the .... Summer Olympics (example: Sailing at the 1920 Summer Olympics). As spin-off of this, the list of Olympic sailing competitors is checked and redundancy where one person is known under different names during different Olympiads is taken out. The total list of Sailors will be in the end about 12000 names long. Therefore the same construction of setting this up is chosen as e.g. baseball with one main page (without content) and a possibility to jump to the correct letter in the alphabet. Also the subarticles per letter are created. At this moment the list(s) are up to date from 1896 to 1920. As you understand it takes some time to compleet the 30 Olympics.

So, I copied a format used in other directory articles, The list is building up while upgrading the sailing articles, this list is a starting point for alphabetical search. It takes some time to grow to the estimated 12000 sailors (devided over the subarticles.)

I can take the bold text off, but please advice how to address the request otherwize?

Regards, NED33 (talk) 08:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For the list List of Sailors at the Summer Olympics: Q applies the same with the addition that this is one of the sup-pages that will be filled with one or mor sailors with the last name started with Q. Since sailing is also done in asia now I do know there will be entries .

Keep. The topic has inherent nobility as an olympic sport and such lists have precedent in Wikipedia. So long as it is properly sourced, it merits inclusion. Movementarian (Talk) 12:05, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep Seems to be a work in progress, but since all Olympic athletes would be inherently notable under WP:ATHLETE, it's a perfectly legitimate topic, but the author really needs to take time to figure out what this should look like (like on a user page) before springing it on the world. The flags and the male/female distinction are good, but before you go much further, consider adding things like "1896" or "1920", and--- one doesn't have to be fancy on this-- some symbols to show which persons have won a medal. For that, one could say 1896* for the gold, 1896** for silver, 1896*** for bronze, it's that easy. Yes, I realize that many of these competed in more than one Olympiad, but taking care of it now will save a lot of problems in going back later. I think what may have turned people off is that it's already divided into 26 little sub-articles called List of Sailors at the Summer Olympics: R and the like. Give some thought to it before going further. Mandsford 13:48, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moose File System[edit]

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

~~Unremarkable~~Non notable open source project. Sourceforge files list shows very few downloads and not a lot of google hits. Nothing to show WP:notability. Article is unreferenced. A similar article was PRODed last year named MooseFS - seems this was set up in its place and was missed at the time. Disputed Prod. Since the prod, a reference to a Polish magazine article in a pdf hosted on the projects own website has been added. noq (talk) 12:24, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I repeat here what I said before:

1) Yes, the article was PRODed once before. That's, because it was incomplete, I was new to Wikipedia and did not know how to write a proper article. Once I learned about the sandbox I have created a new article within it and left the old one die. The new one has been released out of the sandbox when ready.

2) Sourceforge may not show lots of downloads. Sourceforge page is not the primary download area. Stable releases are downloadable from project official web site.

3) I wonder what makes you think it is an unremarkable project. At the moment there is very few open-source distributed file systems suitable for commercial datacenter workloads. GlusterFS is one. Ceph is great, but not production ready just yet. Lustre does not count, because it lacks some features considered mandatory for datacenter. The same goes for PVFS and Hadoop. There are some others, but they are mostly not worth mentioning - they are either incomplete or in a different category. Im not involved in propagation or development of MooseFS, I am just a user. And I think that MooseFS is currently the most advanced file system in that class - along with GlusterFS.

You are right though that the article is missing some neccesary elements, notably the references section needs expanding. I'll do that as soon as possible. As to the "reliable source", I'm not qiute sure what is considered a "reliable source" when it comes to an open source software project, especially when it does not have academical origins. Anyway I hope the article in Linux magazine is "reliable" enough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ales-76 (talk • contribs) 13:07, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A single reference hosted on the projects website is unlikely to be enough. My look through google did not find any significant coverage hence bringing the article here. noq (talk) 17:30, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The reference is hosted on the projects website, correct. But the article is from reliable source and it is not otherwise freely accessible - one would have to buy or borrow printed issue of the Linux Magazine. Hosting articles about a product is not uncommon practice, by example semiconductor manufacturers quite often offer free downloadable issue of Microprocessor report (which is otherwise damn expensive), when it is about their product. There is nothing wrong with that. If one reference from notable source is not enough than too bad, but at the moment I cannot provide more. Hopefully in couple of months the situation will be different, MooseFS just got into FreeBSD ports so I guess the number of users is growing. And by the way, Google shows over 30000 hits for MooseFS. I could expand the article with links to some web resources like blogs and such, but I guess these won't be considered reliable, and in deed the content is often sketchy and unmethodical. In any case, it seems to me that the only thing valid from the original claim for removal is that there is only one reference. I admit that, and I do understand that editors of Wikipedia act on good will, so that the content of every article is backed up by a reliable source. However, I think that the Wikipedia audience has more to loose than gain by removing the article, since era of distributed storage is just coming and people come here to get the picture, to find out what it is about and to see what options they have. Ales-76 (talk) 23:13, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you set google to return 100 results, you will find that while the initial page has thousands of hits, it only returns something over 400. Looking through those nothing stood out as notable. noq (talk) 00:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

On the one hand, Linux Magazine is apparently reputable; on the other, the source's author Mariusz Gądarowski appears to be affiliated with MooseFS creators Gemius SA and Jakub Kruszona-Zawadzki.[14] Given that I can't read the article, it's difficult to reconcile these factors. And – I also can't find any more sources. --Pnm (talk) 00:52, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I came to this article to learn about MooseFS, with the benefit of the same NPOV standards that are available for its competitors. If someone is willing to keep the article up to date (one sign of a healthy project), then there is no reason to hide this information. Properly functioning distributed file systems are a rare breed, and the underlying data storage decision is a critical one for an organization; that makes this is a notable and relevant project, whether or not an organization decides to use it. Meanwhile, Pnm discounts Linux Magazine's standard operating procedure too quickly, while also complaining about the language; these are not reasons for deletion. - Rgrant (talk) 20:28, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I've been thinking about this. I'm ambivalent about the deletion. Seems like a useful article, but I can't verify that it meets the "requirements." --Pnm (talk) 23:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - I'm clenching my teeth as I say that. Anyone can go around and claim to be Jesus. It's obviously not that hard. What IS hard, however, is to claim you're Jesus and have large groups actually believe and follow you. That takes convincing and since religious movements are notable, if one accomplishes such a thing then I'd say it's worthy of mention. So, even though I'm not 100% convinced this has encyclopedic value . . . I say keep. -WarthogDemon 20:00, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable musician. Singer with two bands, both of which are myspace bands that lack notability.

Save+ - Wikipedia's "General Notability Guideline" states: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article." ""Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including (but not limited to): self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc." The are several reliable sources offering coverage on Josh Helgason Abel. He's accomplished much more, rad things, but due to lack of coverage those remain out of this biography. This is not a crystal ball, no, however, he has clearly been covered by reliable sources that are independent of himself and this should satisfy inclusion criteria. Thanks. --PEACELOVEROCKNRLL (talk) 19:41, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1) You may comment as much as you like, but don't put the Save tag on more than one comment, it looks like double-voting. 2) Look at Wikipedia:Notability (music). It talks about stuff like gold albums, international tours, charted singles, two albums on a major label, and so forth (granted there are other criteria). It also says Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. Herostratus (talk) 02:12, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Save+- Emergenza was and continues to be a big deal. It gathers world wide attention and involves dozens of countries. That's no small feat. It's also substantiated with reliable sources, references. Also, Bob Rock is the producer behind Metallica's "Black Album" and Motley Crue's "Doctor Feelgood" as well as many, many more epic albums. Recording with Bob is also well referenced. Josh stays. Nirvana333333 (talk) 20:11, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not clear to me how notable Emergenza is. I'm not saying it's not, but I do note that "Emergenza scam" gives 34,900 results, and it appears the "voting" is based on how many tickets a given contestant can sell, so... Herostratus (talk) 02:29, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first few rounds in each city are done by fan voting, not ticket sales, (a show of hands that is counted, yes, but a fan vote nonetheless), then each city has it's Finals, which are judged by industry people such as radio personalities or record label folk, and from then on out it's all based on Judges voting, including the finals for each Country, of which their was only one finalist band out of Canada, and then the grand finals in Germany. The Sessions won the judging round for Vancouver, Western Canada, Canada and finally the world (16 Countries of it). Also, working with Bob Rock or this or that isn't a big deal, any of it on it's own, it's when an artist racks up multiple merits of high calibre that they become special and notable. PEACELOVEROCKNRLL (talk) 11:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes done by fan voting, but if your band sells 100 tickets you are going to have more fans there than a band that sells 10 tickets. Herostratus (talk) 11:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, yes. Although, play well enough, write songs well enough, and a band will earn votes from neutral spectators and even fans of other bands. The Sessions received 242 or so votes in Vancouver's semi-finals and I doubt all of those 242 were brought by just them. They were winning crowds over. Also, a band selling tickets / marketing themselves / making fans who will purchase tickets and support them - That proves how serious, legit and awesome a band is. The Emergenza "scam", as haters claim it to be, is set up to weed out the beginners, anti-socials (bad for business), the small thinkers, the bands without fan bases (unproven talent / lack of talent), and the crap. It's bitter bands with loser mentalities, and losing records, who jump on board wagons of "this battle of the bands is rigged" and "this is a scam" and all that. My two cents.

Chinese copy[edit]

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

Declined speedy added by another user, but clearly this article has major POV issues (which may not quite rise to the level of an attack on the entire Chinese manufacturing industry). The article itself appears to be trying to legitimize that the term "Chinese copy" is notable, but the references all which use the words in order do not use the term as a derogatory noun, but rather with "copy" being a verb. Suggest either a massive POV cleanup, or redirection to knockoff (which itself is a redirect). 7 03:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The fundamental validity of this page should be questioned. The term was not coined by any form of public media nor is the definition of the term appended by any source. The only sources one can see from the page are those of the example's, which do not even mentioned the term "Chinese Copy" on any occasion. Furthermore, judging from the page creator's history, this user has not even edited many WP pages, before creating this one.Ao333 (talk) 03:37, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree that the article has major POV issues which is why I tagged it. I don't think it should be deleted as the term Chinese copy is quite well known in many circles. It's even defined on Merriam-Webster online. The term Chinese Copycat also appears to be in wide use as well. Vedant (talk) 04:29, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"an exact imitation or duplicate that includes defects as well as desired qualities" is what the Merriam-webster says. Evidently, the article is largely biased in providing no "desired qualitiy" side to the article. I concede to a major edit, if the page will only contain sources which include the term "Chinese Copy." Otherwise, the article would just be a hoax, defined by people of the Indian ethnicity as both GSMR and Vedant's contribution history shows.Ao333 (talk) 04:37, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know I'm of Indian ethnicity? Are you implying racial bias exists? Perhaps I'm mistaken it most but it certainly appears to exist in your case. But then again, what do Indians know right? Apparently they live 10 years less than the average Japanese or Chinese individual and on average have 22% less IQ points. I mean after all the Indians are grouped with the Africans and while possessing 1/6th of the human population only possess 2% of the world's health?

And frankly, I'd like to see an article about things that were described as "cheap Japanese knockoffs" as well, not sure why that would be considered non-notable.

Keep Google book search shows ample results. The law of unfair competition and trade-marks, Volume 1‎ - Page 249 Rudolf Callmann, United States - Law - 1950 - 3020 pages mentions the term "Chinese Copy". I read the article and clicked through the links, and the term was used, and still is used for many things. Sorting through sources is difficult, because you get so many results with the words "Chinese copy" followed by the name of something they are copying, as oppose to it being used as a term. Chinese knock-off is also something I see used at times. That country does have people copying every single thing imaginable over there, from Mickey Mouse ears and the back of the Kellogg's Corn Flakes box, to expensive cars, and aircraft. After being shown around Home Depot, some started their own company in China that sells the same thing, in the same way, and even has people wearing orange aprons like they do at Home Depot.

Comment I have no problem with the article being kept if it's improved. I do not know how to go about working on such articles, and even if I did, it would take hours to take these stubs and turn them into something worthwhile. The article wallowed without sources or any content, really, for almost four years. I'm glad that it's being improved now, but it seems there's no motivation unless these articles are sent to AfD.

This article appears to be accurate and unbiased with reputable, verifiable sources. I subscribe to ToyFare Magazine as well as Wizard and have seen their work and articles about the company appear in the publications many times. Their work for Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network also adds to the company's notability. Through the show, the company's sculpted works appear on cable TV several times a week.

Comment That is not always true either. It all depends on whether or not there is a paid staff. I've seen it before where angelfire links are notable as per the content contained and per the person who did the review. Anyways, The fact that this was re-released on other notable labels makes this AfD a different discussion in entirety. While it may not have made a notable demo album, it did make a notable full length studio album. Remember, not all reviews are in English, and foreign reviews do count towards notability.

Here is a review, and the same goes for this one here through Drakkar Productions. I understand that the first one is a low key distribution, however, that does take a bit of consideration.

Per the AVN classifications shown in the reference for the 2005 nominations, the "scene" nominations listed are not considered, by the organization giving the awards, to be nominations for the individual performers.

Not to encourage more WP:OSE, but no one is ever "automatically notable", as they must meet criteria for inclusion.... and actually, a musican on a Grammy-winning soundtrack might indeed be found notable if meeting the criteria for ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) found over at WP:MUSICBIO.

Keep Passes PORNBIO. Hullaballoo's bizarre interpretation of the award is both against consensus from previous AfD and factually inaccurate. Scene performers are listed as award recipients, and referred to as award winners after.

Keep per passing PORNBIO. An AVN award is an AVN award. We do not dismiss a ball player's notability because it might be based upon his team winning a league title. A notable award for a group effort is a notable award, none-the-less. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:00, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to me that you are finding demo's, and nominating them for the sole purpose of them being a demo album. Remember, Music guidelines do not state anything about demo's being inherently non-notable. It also seems to me that you are going through all of my personally created articles, as all the notices on my talk page seem to be on the same day, around the same time. Try to broaden your search out a bit when searching for AfD candidates. And it would also be better if you do a better Google search, other than just searching for the album name, minus any details such as the band name. (Especially as this album shares the same name as a well known Gorgoroth album.) Undead Warrior (talk) 17:33, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Undead Warrior, rest assured that it's not just you. Unlike the scorched-earth style of the nominator, many other people around here are much more willing to work with the word "assumed" in the WP guideline on demos, which in my book calls for flexibility whenever merited. See many of the discussions at list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. I couldn't agree more with your assessment of what the nominator is doing. --DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 18:28, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Response Google shows nothing substantial about this demo. You are mistaken that I am singling out your contributions, as I have nominated hundreds of album articles for deletion, including several that are currently nominated which you did not create. Album articles need to follow notability guidelines just like everything else and virtually all of the articles on demos were unsourced and there were no sources readily available to show that they were notable. The same is true for this one. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:47, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Here (scroll down just below the middle) he's mentioned in a section that says: "The state government had not taken any action on the probe report dated June 24, 2008 that had asked for the FIR to be filed against her in the matter. The DIG/SSP officer has now hurriedly dispatched a letter dated March 29, 2010 to the Congress leader Amir Haider who had filed the RTI assuring him of some action on petition as soon as legal opinion is available." Here he's also mentioned. In this source again he's mentioned as a Congress leader from Baribanki. So there are suggestions of notability but more sources would be needed to establish this.
