Manuel Altamira[edit]

Delete I cannot find a thing, except on Wikipedia mirrors. I also tried searching under "Altamira, Manuel" with 0 results. A notable Argentine musician, especally in the capital city would have something written about them, somewhere. It's true that the online archives of La Nación archives only go back to 1996, but you can't have an article based on what (I suspect) a family member or friend recalls with no external verification. No prejudice to recreation if reliable sources turn up in the future. Voceditenore (talk) 16:51, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

List of Married... with Children cast members[edit]

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

Delete per WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This is merely a listing of actors who have portrayed recurring cast members or others who have made guest appearances on the show. Main characters are already discussed in List of characters in Married... with Children and Married... with Children#Cast and characters. Sottolacqua (talk) 21:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - while I don't have a strong opinion on this particular cast list, it is part of an enormous category structure. It doesn't make sense to discuss this one list in isolation. I'm not convinced that this meets the criteria of WP:NOT either. A better way to work on these lists would be to create a centralized discussion and build consensus about whether they're worthwhile and perhaps setting some inclusion criteria (limiting them to regular and recurring cast members). Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 22:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Simply because it's not indiscriminate. And part of an already established structure of cast member articles. Lugnuts (talk) 06:53, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nom's criteria for deletion is flawed because the list isn't indiscrimate. The article doesn't sit quite right but the onus is on the nom to demonstrate what is wrong with the article rather than leaving afd participants guessing. Szzuk (talk) 07:55, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete It is an indiscriminate list because it has no information on it to discriminate between one cast member and the next, and for many of these, one would be hard pressed to find mention of their guest appearance on the sitcom within their own articles. There's a pseudo-sophisticated statement in there that we should be aware that "this list should be restricted to those actors who were significant or recurring characters". Kind of a surprise, even considering that this is from 2007, when mediocre work like this was the standard. For those wondering why anyone ever thought we would need a list, in alphabetical order, of people who appeared on the show, I gather from the history that there was a category that was about to be deleted. Only a weak delete, because it would be easy to rescue this one with such things as — DUH — the name of the character played by each of the entries. There's this thing called imdb.com that would help. No reason that this has to be a piece of crap. Mandsford 12:54, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into List of characters in Married... with Children - adding in new information. Two lists are not needed, but save the edit history. Bearian (talk) 22:43, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. This would also serve the aim of restricting it to main or significant cast members and weeding out any on-screen-for-two-minutes cameos or minor parts. Gwinva (talk) 06:44, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Craig Minervini[edit]

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

I don't feel that it is notable, as I could not find any coverage from reliable sources to indicate notability. In addition, the article does not cite any sources; too old for a BLP PROD. mono 21:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pension to member of same-sex couples in Brazil[edit]

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

Delete - per WP:Content forking these articles are unnecessary spin-offs from the main article Recognition of same-sex unions in Brazil. That article is not long enough nor is the information about the pension or health plan decisions detailed enough to warrant separate articles. The information is covered in the lead article.

Merge to Recognition of same-sex unions in Brazil per Are You The Cow Of Pain?. Lechatjaune (talk) 19:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete seems an unnecessary spin-off, I can't think of a similar article for any other country. I'm sure the worthwhile content can find a home somewhere else. - Schrandit (talk) 11:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, if it's a spin-off then spin it back deletion is not the answer here. 71.139.29.193 (talk) 18:03, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear, the articles were not cut and pasted from the main article. They were written from scratch. The information is covered in the main articles from the original sources. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 19:35, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The outcome is the same, merge all into the main that should be there. 71.139.29.193 (talk) 03:32, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's already there, as I said in the nomination. Are You The Cow Of Pain? (talk) 13:45, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rich Stowell[edit]

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

Non-notable author that has written a non-notable book. The award he was nominated for (Indie Excellence Award) doesn't seem to be notable either. Erpert (let's talk about it) 19:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: The article under discussion here has been {{rescue}} flagged by an editor for review by the Article Rescue Squadron.

Erpert, I'm new at using Wikipedia and was quite stunned at your comment to remove my article; especially since I wasn't even done with the editing process. Gone are the days where we had to wait 50 years for a "notable" author. After reading Nine Weeks, I was compelled to share the news about this up and coming author who happened to be a finalist in the Indie Excellence Award - a national competition that saw more submissions this year than previous years. Moreover, after reading carefully at the Wikipedia:BIO the following points are made about articles such as the one I've written...The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."The point about being "worthy of notice" and interesting enought to be recorded" stuck out to me - this article is significant and interesting to the fans out there. So, rather than delete my article, I ask that you reconsider it as an opportunity to share some insight about an up and coming author. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esjackson (talk • contribs) 20:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC) — Esjackson (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete: The award is not major. Even the creator said that the author is non-notable: "up and coming". Joe Chill (talk) 21:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Publish Wikipedia is one of the greatest, if not best source on the web for information. I've been using it for years and I finally found an author worth listing - who I couldn't find - I had to search several places for background information. This article is needed, especially for fans, followers, etc. to learn more about their idols without having to search the entire web. All the information I've written is verifiable, again, which meets the qualification criteria for Wikipedia. The article should maintain the status quo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esjackson (talk • contribs) 22:18, 8 June 2010 (UTC) — Esjackson (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete Joined the army. Self-published a book. Get the next one published by a publisher, and try again. Peridon (talk) 22:26, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiable is important. So is notability. Lots of things can be verified but aren't notable. Peridon (talk) 22:26, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might be a little confused with how Wikipedia works, Esjackson. That you think Mr. Stowell is an up-and-coming author is all well and good, but he isn't notable yet. Subjects have to be notable before they have a Wikipedia article, not after. By the way, even though you created the article, it isn't yours.

Delete, regretfully, since Mr. Stowell sounds like an admirable person and I'm sure his book is good. But is it self-published. Self-published books almost never qualify as notable under Wikipedia's standards, because they don't usually get any independent coverage as required by WP:AUTHOR, and as far as I can find, this one didn't. --MelanieN (talk) 22:32, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Userfication I'm not going to delete this, as I think it has potential and I'm going to give the author the benefit of the doubt, but in the current shape under the current title, it would be deleted. I think the author might be able to do something with this, but when he tries to move it back into the mainspace, I suggest naming it something along the lines of List of Angels according to Unarius Academy of Science that would cover the objection of the vagueness of inclusion criterion and objectiveness of the subject.

List of people said to be angels[edit]

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

Dubious and highly controversial categorization based on the beliefs of a single religious organization with which the majority of those listed had no association. Unverifiable and referenced by only one source. See also WP:BOLLOCKS. I42 (talk) 18:37, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There's no controversy, every member of the list has been sourced as having been claimed to be angels. Period. Only a single religious group has been represented because I've only consulted one source. I've only consulted one source, because surprise, the article's only been up for a day. You say it's unverifiable and reference by only one source. That doesn't make any sense. It's either unverifiable, or it's sourced. It can't be both. Also, WP: Bollocks doesn't apply here at all. That's just dishonest Wikilawyering. Abyssal (talk) 23:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, that list could grow quite long. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 18:43, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You voted twice. "The page could grow too big" isn't a valid justification for deletion. Long pages can always be split. For deletion, a page's problems should be insurmountable; See WP: Problem "Consider that Wikipedia is a work in progress and articles should not be deleted as punishment because no one has felt like cleaning them up yet. Remember, Wikipedia has no deadline. If there's good, eventually sourceable, content in the article, it should be developed and improved, not deleted." Abyssal (talk) 23:45, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Crap. Sorry, Marcus, I42 is right. Abyssal (talk) 14:54, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete All of what's here now can be mentioned, in a few sentences, in Unarius Academy of Science. As Marcus says, it would be a long list-- my momma once said that I was a little angel, so I should be on the list. Mandsford 18:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC) ~~Citation needed.Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 18:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)~~[reply]

Comment: You voted twice. Also, that's ridiculous. You might as well say we could delete List of people who have been considered deities as some people have said "you're a god at guitar hero!" Is it true? Yeah, but you know it's outside the scope of the article. You're just ridiculing. Abyssal (talk) 23:49, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:COATRACK. The article doesn't even state what determines a person to be an angel -- actually, it says these are people said to be angels, so maybe the article creator himself doesn't necessarily believe it? Erpert (let's talk about it) 19:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Actually, I don't believe this crap, so you know maybe you should have AGFed instead making baseless accusations of me erecting coatracks. Also, you're violating WP:NOTCLEANUP as well. The deletion process is not for article issues that could be solved in 5 minutes. If you had issues with vague inclusion criteria, that should have been brought up on the talk page. Abyssal (talk) 00:04, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The articles Noah and Adam and Eve (LDS Church) provide notable sources about the beliefs that Noah was Gabriel and that Adam was Michael. If there is notable sources about a particular person being an anvel, then place that assertion in the page of the person/angel likes was done with Noah, etc. Prsaucer1958 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Comment: That would be great information that anyone could have added to the article, but people are so busy trying to delete the article on the grounds that only Unarius information has been included that I don't have tie to add information not related to Unarius. Abyssal (talk) 23:56, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The only entity listed on this page as claiming anyone to be an angel is the Unarius Academy of Science. If this list is worth including in Wikipedia at all, of which I am skeptical, it should be incorporated as prose (not a table) into Unarius Academy of Science. ("The Academy has identified various historical figures as archangels. All of the following have been identified with the archangel Uriel: Akbar the Great, Arthur, Atahualpa ....") --Metropolitan90 (talk) 22:32, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: If you're skeptical about whether the article deserves to be included, you better cite some inclusion policy. Extremely similar precedents for this article exist, so it's your obligation to show how this article is somehow intrinsically different. For deletion, a page's problems should be insurmountable, again, see WP: NOTCLEANUP and WP:PROBLEM. The deletion process is not for problems that could easily be cleaned up. "Consider that Wikipedia is a work in progress and articles should not be deleted as punishment because no one has felt like cleaning them up yet. Remember, Wikipedia has no deadline. If there's good, eventually sourceable, content in the article, it should be developed and improved, not deleted." This article actually does better than the policy requirement, because there is already notable content with a reliable, scholarly source. Abyssal (talk) 23:45, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I support deletion because this page describes a non-notable fringe idea. Incidentally, the articles Abyssal mentions below, List of people who have been considered deities, List of people claimed to be immortal, and List of people who have claimed to be Jesus, all have problems themselves, particularly inclusion of some people on the lists without having sources associated with them. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 14:49, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Why is this article not notable, but the articles List of people who have been considered deities, List of people claimed to be immortal, and List of people who have claimed to be Jesus notable? Abyssal (talk) 23:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The article has notability as established by the above several precedents in the religious lists categories where people of various types of alleged extraordinary nature are compiled. It draws on a reliable scholarly source about new religious movements and the role that prophecy, especially failed prophecy, plays therein. It is not a sectarian source, as evidenced by its title; When Prophecy Never Fails: Myth and Reality in a Flying Saucer Group. Users accusing me of violating WP: Bollocks or WP: Coatrack, therefore are at best neglectful of what the article actually implied or at worst actually dishonest. Only one source has been used because I have only had time to consult one source.

The rapid attempts at deletion violates WP:DEMOLISH by attempting to delete a well sourced article on a notable subject faster than it can reasonably expected to be constructed. Criticism that the article is too Unarius-centered are frustrating because the list would already include content relevant to multiple faiths if not for the fact that this attempt at deletion has prevented me from adding it by distracting me efforts. Another user has pointed out LDS claims that would make good additions to the article, further invalidating already spurious criticisms of coatracking and me allegedly having a special interest in the subject. I have intended to add information about Jehovah's Witnesses have made similar claims about Jesus being the Archangel Michael and traditional Hebrew mythology holds that Enoch became the angel Aratron while Elijah who was taken to heaven in a fiery chariot became the angel Metatron. There are no doubt countless more, but again, attempts to delete the article while making no attempt to fix the problems is preventing my from adding this information.

Claims that I did not clarify the inclusion criteria are also because I haven't had time to write a good lead, which again, is due to my having to defend the existence of the article. Members advocating deletion have consistently ignored actual policy regarding what must be established for an article to be deleted by ignoring WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:PROBLEM. Some reasons for deletion are minor quibbles about what members imagine might happen in the future, like that the article might get too long. This when long articles are routinely split and no policy suggests that long lists should be deleted or that lists which might conceivably at some point one day become long don't qualify for inclusion. Apart from demonstrably false accusations of WP:COATRACKing and WP:BOLLOCKS, no one has yet brought forth legitimate criticisms of the article that are actually based in policy or inclusion criteria. One member actually voted against the article twice.

The consistent absence of policy based objections violates WP:BEFORE and WP:BEGIN which state that members advocating for the deletion of an article should have a thorough understanding of the relevant policies. They also state that problems that can be solved through normal editing are not grounds for deletion, the article including only information on Unarius, the vague inclusion criteria and most other raised criticisms fall under this policy as they could easily be fixed in the course of normally editing, which was disrupted by this whole proceeding. Other relevant policy violated by the attempt to cite surmountable problems as grounds for deletion are WP:NOTCLEANUP and WP:PROBLEM. Even articles with surmountable issues that haven't been edited for years are still acceptable for inclusion, much less articles still being actively worked on! See WP: NOEFFORT.

Delete - inclusion criterion unclear and too vast (WP:NOTIINFO, WP:NOTDIR). Who called who an angel? If it's all claims by Unarius Academy of Science, then it doesn't deserve its own article as there is no independent source to establish the notability of this claim.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 03:02, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: THERE IS AN INDEPENDENT SOURCE WRITTEN BY A SOCIAL SCIENTIST AS ONE OF MULTIPLE PUBLISHED ETHNOGAPHICAL ACCOUNTS ABOUT THIS NEW RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT. SURELY MULTIPLE PUBLISHED ACCOUNTS IN PEER REVIEWED JOURNALS AND A BOOK ARE ENOUGH TO INDEPENDENTLY ESTABLISH THAT UNARIUS AND ITS BELIEFS ARE NOTABLE. THE BOOK IN PARTICULAR IS CITED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ARTICLE AND HAS BEEN MENTIONED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION. DO I HAVE TO SHOUT THIS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS IN BOLD FOR THIS FACT TO FINALLY BE ACKNOWLEDGED BY AT LEAST ONE MEMBER? I DON'T LIKE YELLING BUT IT GETS TEDIOUS REPEATING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER WITH NOBODY PAYING ATTENTION WHEN IF THEY HAD BEEN PAYING ATTENTION THEY WOULDN'T BE MAKING OBVIOUSLY FALSE ACCUSATIONS. You say the inclusion criteria are vague, which means you haven't been reading the discussion; the criteria are vague because the article was put up for deletion far quicker than I could right a lead delineating what they are. This was already discussed, and rebutted with reference to policy, those policies being ones pronouncing that PROBLEMS WHICH CAN BE SOLVED BY NORMAL EDITING ARE NOT GROUNDS FOR DELETIONit's in all caps and bold this time because apparently just putting it in bold wasn't enough that last few times I cited that policy. No, I've literally pointed out this policy multiple times in bold for no avail. Solvable problems (including vague inclusion criteria due to a lack of a lead section) are not grounds for deletion. By policy. I've pointed out before that this is even true of articles which are years old, much less articles I've had only a day or so to work on. Abyssal (talk) 03:43, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As is, it's a coatrack. If left alone, it would be an unmaintainable list due to the wide open and subjective nature of the inclusion criterion. Location (talk) 03:42, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You haven't read the discussion, I've already discussed why it's not a coatrack. I think it was like my second comment on the page. Ironically the only reason it even resembles a coat rack is because I have to sit here fighting off people calling it a coatrack instead of adding information on non-Unarius related subjects. As for vague inclusion criteria goes, once again, congrats on having ignored the preceding discussion. THE REASON INCLUSION CRITERIA ARE VAGUE IS BECAUSE I HAVEN'T FORMALLY NOTED THEM IN THE ARTICLE. THE REASON I HAVEN'T FORMALLY NOTED THEM IN THE ARTICLE IS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN TOO BUSY ARGUING ABOUT THE LACK OF INCLUSION CRITERIA HERE TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH AND NOTE THEM IN THE ARTICLE. This pathetic circus is a deletion feedback loop. People listing reasons to delete the article are distracting me from actually developing the article, leaving flaws for people to seize on as reasons to delete the article! Never mind that all the flaws given are surmountable problems and their use as justification for deletion are violations of multiple official policies including WP:PROBLEM, WP:NOTCLEANUP, WP:NOEFFORT among others that I'm not going to bother looking up because literally not one single user has listened to a single thing I've said. Abyssal (talk) 03:47, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Stop being so belligerent, especially when you have no idea what I and others have or have not done. That fact of the matter is that I have read the entire discussion, including every single one of your lengthy replies to everyone who disagrees with you. WP:COATRACK does state that "[c]oatrack articles... can accidentally evolve through excessive focus on one aspect of the subject." I believe that to be true, and as you mentioned elsewhere, you disagree. Now, you have had your say on the matter and no one is forcing you to repeat yourself over and over and over. Rather than "fighting off people", get to work on improving the article if you think it can be saved. Location (talk) 04:15, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If I knew that my edits wouldn't be deleted 5 minutes later, I would. If this AFD nomination hadn't happened most of the complaints raised here would already be resolved. As things stand I see little reason to suspect that even significant improvements would be enough to satisfy many of those advocating the deletion of the article because so many of the votes have been accompanied by justifications not based on, or contrary to, existing policy. By pure policy standards the article is already a keeper, being of a notable subject (in the same vein that people considered to be deities is a notable list), sourced with a reliable third party source (a book length ethnographic study by a sociologist), and all of the objections could be solved in the course of normal editing, meaning that in accordance with policies like WP:BEGIN, WP:PROBLEM, and WP:DEMOLISH they are not legitimate grounds for deletion even if they are legitimate flaws in the article.

Strong keep - the creator of this article is obviously upset about its early nomination, which has probably contributed to the unhelpful tone in this discussion. But the concept behind this list actually seems pretty reasonable to me. It's not completed yet and is being discussed while in a very premature stage; if the creator could add some additional information to the list (people considered angels by some other religious organization would be a good start) I think it would stand a very good chance of being kept; if there isn't time before this debate ends, my strong recommendation is that its content is userfied and worked on. I think in good faith, a better version could be re-added to article space and would be extremely likely to pass any subsequent AFD. The basic concept of this is certainly not "coatrack" nor is this article designed to push the point of view of a single denomination - it's just not finished yet, that's all. The inclusion criteria for the list are actually pretty well-defined and while the list should be a lot longer, it needn't be excessively long. TheGrappler (talk) 01:15, 14 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What wp:before would have him look for. Coverage in notable RSs. The fact that an event just happened is not reason to not cover it on Wikipedia (which is made clear -- not by the misleading title, but by the content, of the "notthenews" guidance). Here we have all manner of national and international coverage not only across the U.S. but also in Aljazeera, France, India, China, Australia, the UK, the Dominican Republic, and Canada -- just to mention some coverage reflected in the article.

This "event" may be appropriate within another article, but it does not merit its own. Any number of news stories can have a thousand news sources, and to somebody who looks at the number of references to make a determination on notability that will usually be enough.

Clearly not an SPA. The use of the notice is inappropriate, as this editor has edits going back a week before this AfD, to wholly unrelated topics, including other AfDs. A new editor, yes, but out of around fifty edits so far, in fact their comment here was the only one made on this topic, or on anything even vaguely related to it. N-HH talk/edits 10:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It was the 26th page (or so) he had ever edited. The use of the template is therefore appropriate. It simply flags the issue to the sysop, who can use it as he/she sees fit in weighing the editor's !vote.--Epeefleche (talk) 17:56, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, the editor is clearly not an SPA - they have made one substantive edit on this page, and fifty on wholly unrelated topics before that - so the use of the template is entirely inappropriate as well as being misleading and a personal attack on a new-ish editor. Perhaps the closing admin will indeed draw conclusions from its use. As noted on your talk page before you deleted my comment, the notice is intended for editors who appear to have signed up solely to edit on an AfD and related pages, where the suspicion is that they were drawn here by an outside campaign.

Strong Keep. The notability of the arrest of these gentlemen is reflected in the broad (approaching ~~2,000~~ 4,000 articles as of this moment) national and international coverage of them, their plans, and their arrest. This reflects what we can expect will be the enduring notability of these people/events, and for that reason renders wp:notthenews inapplicable by its very own terms. This is by no means what wp:notthenews warns us against, to wit: "routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."--Epeefleche (talk) 18:47, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Okay, I've read the article and I'm voting to delete. The article is full of qualifiers like "allegedly" and "reportedly" - and arguably should have more of them - and none of these allegations have yet been tested in a court of law.

I also voted delete, Gatoclass, but take issue with part of your reasoning. Nothing about Anwar al-Awlaki has been tested in a court of law either. But he’s sufficiently notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Hardly anyone even knows the names of these two bone-cones.

Comment The key piece of evidence here that Wikipedia is being treated like a newspaper is the article’s title, which includes the word “arrest”. That’s the tipoff that something ain’t quite right.

It's a fair point about the title. Discussion as to what name might be a better one is taking place here. Thoughts are welcome there. I think there is a general consensus that the article would benefit from a new title. Would suggest we treat that as an issue separate from the notability of the article, however (where, as here, we have over 3,000 gnews hits, and coverage from major RSs across the US and in France, England, Australia, the Middle East, China, the Carribbean, etc., etc.)--Epeefleche (talk) 15:08, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I PRODded this with the message, "Wikipedia is not a book of baby names and name derivations." The PROD was challenged with the remark, "this is not a name but a celtic word." To that I say, Wikipedia is not a Celtic language dictionary either. Appears to be already at Wiktionary under an alternate spelling. Glenfarclas (talk) 17:33, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Per WP:NOT#DICTIONARY. Joe Chill (talk) 17:35, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Would also appear to be a made-up neologism, not an actual Celtic word: Originates from the celtic word Laoch meaning warrior. This spelling is a variation combining the latin for lion (leo) with the before mentioned name Laoch meaning warrior.

Redirect' to Laoch as a plausible misspelling. Mjroots (talk) 05:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that doesn't work, since Laoch is on another project. I don't think a soft redirect would be particularly useful. Glenfarclas (talk) 05:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While we do have articles on first names at Wikipedia (and rightly so), we do so only on well-established first names with long histories, not names that someone made up one day. At the bottom of the article as it currently stands, there's a note indicating that there's a locality in Scotland called Leoch (just north of Dundee, see [2] and [3]). An article on that town would be acceptable, but until one is written, there's no reason for this lemma not to be a redlink. +An gr 11:07, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neighborhoods of Knoxville, Tennessee[edit]

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

OK, Knoxville is a real city (I live close to it) that has real neighborhoods, but this article is a bit of fluff based on unreliable sources (notably city-data.com and a real estate website). One strong indication of the unreliability of the content is the inclusion of misspellings (Sequoya Hills and Tibbercrest are misspellings of actual neighborhoods). Converting this article into something useful would be more trouble than starting over scratch at some time in the future -- and more trouble than the topic is worth.
I also intend to add to this nomination several articles about individual neighborhoods that are entirely based on the same unreliable sources. Additionally, Template:Knoxneighborhoods has the same problems as this article and should be severely trimmed. (On its talk page, I have proposed trimming it to include only actual neighborhoods with articles.) --Orlady (talk) 16:57, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - a "national tour" - in this case Canada and parts of the United States - is one of the factors per WP:MUSIC. Bearian (talk) 22:56, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But the section you quote says "Has received non-trivial coverage in a reliable source of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour" the refs supporting any tour do not mention any Secret Trial Five tour only that they played a gig at a given venue. Codf1977 (talk) 07:28, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:BAND #1 ("the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable") appears to be met through this, this and possibly even this. There's also a chance of #7 ("one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style "), but that's a little more subjective. Alzarian16 (talk) 12:20, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Guardian and Newsnight refs are not about the band but about Taqwacores, as for The Ithacan Online (note the redlink) it is the student-run publication of Ithaca College and the article is about Michael Muhammed Knight's book and film. Codf1977 (talk) 12:40, 10 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Clearly we have differing views about what constitutes significant coverage, although if The Ithacan (note the blue link!) isn't a reliable source that would change things. However, the argument you've given actually convinces me that they pass WP:MUSIC. If two reliable sources feel the group are worth mentioning in an article about Taqwacore - a notable genre of music - then it's reasonable to say that they're "one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style ", hence are notable under WP:BAND #7. Alzarian16 (talk) 14:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree with your conclusion. However with out the coverage of the Band at all - how does it pass WP:GNG Codf1977 (talk) 14:45, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd probably agree that it doesn't pass WP:GNG, but it doesn't have to. Under WP:BAND it can be notable without having received significant coverage at all, so long as it's verifiable (which it is). Looking at the Guardian and Newsnight sources I'd suggest that criteria #7 is met, so GNG is irrelevant in this case. Alzarian16 (talk) 21:37, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - While there are several mentions of this ballroom on Google and the information in the article seems verifiable, there hasn't been any article written about the Ballroom or the company going in depth. Using the "Dancing with the Stars" television episode can be used as a valid reference, but that isn't what is being cited here nor is it apparent that the episode really had much to do with the ballroom either; to talk about its instructors, its history, or its cultural value that would make it notable and novel in some way. That is what is being asked, and by itself a lone ballroom (even a company that manages that ballroom) isn't notable even if the person who happens to operate that ballroom may be notable in their own right. "Substantial coverage" seems to be a significant problem here. --Robert Horning (talk) 18:50, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I have listed a link to two news articles and a video report by WPTV-TV on how Paramount Ballroom is making a difference in the community.

Wolgan (talk) 04:25, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked very carefully through all of the changes made by Wolgan to the article since this AfD was started. I cannot see any addition of a "link to two news articles", though Wolgan has made numerous minor changes to existing references, mostly merely changing the reference formatting without changing their content. As for the video, for some reason I don't get any sound on it, but it lasts almost exactly 2 minutes, and does not look like very extensive coverage. Wolgan has also, however, added some promotional language to the article, such as "Alec Lazo through the ballroom made world-class dance lessons affordable for college students who would not be able to otherwise afford lessons". JamesBWatson (talk) 10:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I saw in the references two links that were (3 and 6) WPTV news articles, and 7 was a video story done by News Channel 5. 6 seems to be a broken link, but I have read the article in the past. Also, I played the video, and the sound played just fine. As far as Wolgan's "promotional language," Alec Lazo is a US champion who has traveled judging dance competitions across the globe for over 30 years, so "world class" isn't a very exaggerated adjective at all. I have read on the PBA website about Lazo's college program, and Lazo teaches these students only $5 per lesson, which given his experience, would be several hundred dollars normally. He has also sponsored several students and given free lessons. Aside from the tone, which could seem promotional, that sentence was a fact, and it describes the sort of "charity work" that Paramount Ballroom is doing for the local community. To improve the tone, I rewrote the sentence with "professional" instead of "world class." Jax3llington (talk) 22:01, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Professional wrestling promotions in New Zealand[edit]

keep and move to Professional wrestling in New Zealand as a prose article. Although I have personally sought the deletion of a number of articles on individual promotions for lack of sources/lack of notability, there are sources (e.g. the Herald article) to create a single overview article detailing the history of pro wrestling in New Zealand (from early 20th century onwards). Advertising can be dealt with. Yes, the country's wrestling scene is small (and the wrestlers all have day jobs) but it does exist and has been written about. And there was one era (the 1980s) when wrestling had a high profile. dramatic (talk) 19:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As per my response here. I had specifically addressed the concerns given by the nominator prior to removing the prod by referencing the single supposedly "non-notable" promotion with cited references from multiple news articles. The list currently lists only three promotions, two of which already exist on Wikipedia, and find it hard to understand why this list is "unsustainable". Nor do I agree that it qualifies for deletion under WP:NOTDIR or WP:ADVERT and the nominator has yet to specify how it does. 71.184.39.119 (talk) 20:46, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or keep and move per User:dramatic. There are also equivalent articles for other countries in the same format. They are bordering on being a directory which is not what WP is about. Also, these articles are pushing the boundaries of what should be included in WP.

Comment To those who are suggesting an article for "Professional Wrestling in New Zealand" this has already been looked into and it fails the GNG. There have been no significant promotions in the country's history (unlike Australia for example) and what's there now is essentially nothing even though two promotions pass the notability test. But that's as individual promotions only - and they don't represent the scene as a whole. !! Justa Punk !! 09:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As per my response here. I specifically addressed the concerns given by the nominator prior to removing the prod. While I was unable to provide additional references for all the promotions, I did add a number of news articles to many current promotions but only a few for the defunct ones. I would not have objected to the removal of said entres, however, the nominator's assertion that the "vast majority" are non-notable is incorrect. the editor's claims that this is an attempt to list "every" promotion in Australia, or that this is an attempt to advertise these promotions, is misleading and in bad faith. That the nominator's insistance there are no notable wrestling promotions in Australia, or there are not enough to compile a listing, suggests systemic bias. 71.184.39.119 (talk) 20:58, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A number of promotions have already had articles deleted. As I am in Australia, I will check the references - and I'm willing to bet they are unreliable under WP rules.

Speedy per Mal Case. Also WP:NOT, as this is a directory without a doubt. RICK ME DOODLE YOU DOODLE 09:34, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural Note: The nominator has removed several valid references from the article during this deletion discussion. This is a tactic used by several of his allies, and supported by the nominator, in a previous deletion discussion. Because of the irregularities caused by their insistence to not have the article viewed on its merits, the result was declared invalid. If, as the nominator claims, the references are invalid, there is absolutely no justifiable reason to remove them during this discussion. If people commenting in the discussion don't agree with the sources, the article would be deleted. They should be given a chance to decide for themselves, however. I trust that the closing administrator will have the decency to make it clear that pushing one's point of view as the nominator has done is unacceptable on Wikipedia. GaryColemanFan (talk) 04:05, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closing admin - the references removed were press releases/advertisements. They were therefore not valid under WP:RS and the removal was perfectly reasonable. To impute that it will make a difference between deletion and non-deletion is bluntly ridiculous. Such refs should be removed no matter what. !! Justa Punk !! 10:03, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Der_rikkk is the article's creator and only substantial contributor, so I've suggested that he apply a WP:CSD#G7 tag to the article.

Incubate. Prof. Green is certainly notable. Some brief coverage already exists ([4]). There can be no question that it will receive a lot of coverage as its release approaches (and that it will therefore be 'notable'), which is in about 6 weeks time.

Per WP:CRYSTAL, WP:NALBUM (there is some coverage in reliable sources, but doesn't appear to be significant coverage. (There's been some discussion at Talk:Wreckorder which may be of interest).

Possibly. My thinking was that the content here is mostly already in Francis Healy, but it might be worth doing a cross-reference during the AfD to see if there's anything to add to the main article. The key facts (album, McCartney) are already in the Fran Healy article. TFOWR^{idle vapourings of a mind diseased} 16:07, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Apart from a mention that Healy is about to release a solo album and that it features McCartney, none of the content is in the main article. As the album is noteworthy/significant in it's own right (and if it is deleted, it will just appear again very soon), neither should the contents be merged with the main article.

  - On the contrary, I do know about it and I am very familiar with Spider-Man and friends.

But thanks for assuming good faith.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 02:22, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I do assume good faith, but your argument comes across like the examples that link provides. So I followed WP:DUCK. Also, arguments are not supposed to use sarcasm to degrade another editor, so please refrain from that in the future. Spidey104^contribs 02:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yeah, I've read the article you linked and I'm not seeing how I fit that criteria. I never went "I've never heard of it, therefore it's not notable" or suggest that just because it was a comic it wasn't notable, etc. On the contrary, I do know about this arc and I do think comics can be notable for Wikipedia.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 02:33, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I do realize that there is no perfect comparison between what you said and what is in that link, but it is similar. Saying "Appears to be little more than a plot summary of an average" is similar to the arguments to avoid that are presented there because it is based on your personal opinion.

- Comment How do those sites prove notability for the subject, considering that those sites write similar articles on nearly every comic on the market?--Sandor Clegane (talk) 04:23, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Reply - My argument would be if they cover nearly every comic book on the market, then nearly every comic book on the market is notable. It's already the approach we take to films with theatrical releases - they're inevitably heavily reviewed so they're nearly inevitably notable. An outcome that sees every comic book able to gain wide distribution as notable would not be a grossly unjust outcome. - DustFormsWords (talk) 04:24, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - So let me get this straight...you think every single comic arc that gets coverage from niche sites like Newsarama and Comicsbulletin should get their own article on Wikipedia? Giving an article to a comic title is one thing. Giving individual articles to separate arcs of comics regardless is another.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 01:46, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Notability is notability. If it's got significant coverage in reliable independent sources, it's notable. TV shows get individual articles for notable episodes; albums get individual articles for notable songs. I'm not sure what's so different about comic books that they shouldn't have articles for notable arcs or even notable single issues. - DustFormsWords (talk) 01:52, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm not against giving articles to notable comic arcs and issues--such as The Death of Gwen Stacy of Kraven's Last Hunt. This is not a notable arc, no more than any of the other comics published and reviewed each month. The fact said "reliable sources" for this comic are from sites who publish similar sources indiscriminately for each month's comics prove that.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 02:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        "Indiscriminate" isn't any part of the test of notability under WP:N. It requires only significant coverage in reliable independent sources. I don't think you're disputing these sources are reliable and independent and that the coverage is signficant, so I'm not sure that you have a (policy-supported) leg to stand on in your claim the arc isn't notable. For a comic of the pop-culture weight of Amazing Spider-Man I would fully expect virtually every arc to be notable, and I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a process that returns that outcome. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:04, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        
        "For a comic of the pop-culture weight of Amazing Spider-Man I would fully expect virtually every arc to be notable, and I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a process that returns that outcome.

Notability is not inherited. Just because Spider-Man is notable does not mean that every single arc and storyline featured in over 600 issues of Amazing Spider-Man and tertiary titles are notable as well. That's just beyond ridiculous.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 02:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - I said "expect". My expectation is that the level of interest in Spider-Man is so high that it would not be surprising to see each arc receive enough significant coverage in reliable independent sources to pass WP:N. Unless you're going to suggest that the article doesn't meet one of the criteria of WP:N, I'd invite you to take your personal frustration at the notability of comic arcs to Village Pump or a similar forum. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:18, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge. No need to completely delete it as that would destroy all of the effort put into this article. And it is notable, because the appearance is deceiving to editors like User:Sandor Clegane who are not actively involved in comic book article editing. Spidey104^contribs 14:26, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles like Character Assassination should be merged or redirected into related articles. There is the possibility for arcs such as that to gain future notability if the information from that arc is revisited or expanded upon in the future (such as Nothing Can Stop the Juggernaut!/Something Can Stop the Juggernaut). I don't think that storyline is notable enough as alone as it is, but the work to create it should not be deleted away. Merge/redirect the article so the old information can be easily resurrected, if necessary, in the future. Spidey104^contribs 18:32, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am actively involved in editing comics articles and the article is poor (with no out-of-universe perspective and no explanation why this is more notable than any other Spider-Man storyline). Similar Spider-Man articles started by the same editor (who left a string of very thin articles in his wake) have been deleted or redirected. This article is also suffering similar problems so if you don't want to lose it then improve it. (Emperor (talk) 15:55, 1 June 2010 (UTC))[reply]
Just because am I not actively involved in editing comic-related articles doesn't mean I can tell if something is notable or not. Even as someone who is familiar with and is fan of Spider-Man and his related storylines, there is still nothing in this article to suggest any sign of notability. Obviously I wouldn't be going after articles like Kraven's Last Hunt or The Night Gwen Stacy Died which are notable for numerous reasons.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 17:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Still no explanation as to why it should be deleted instead of merged as I suggested. Spidey104^contribs 01:52, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, what merging location do you have in mind, exactly? The article's way too long and plot-heavy to fit into "Fictional History of Spider-Man" or something similar. And you yourself have yet to prove how it's notable enough to deserve it's own Wikipedia article.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 16:04, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops, my bad. It could be merged to the Menace (Marvel Comics) article as this storyline is important to that character's history. (Joe Chill seems to have provided proof for notability.) Spidey104^contribs 14:06, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge: While I don't like Wikipedia's nobility rule that much I will suggest that merge is a reliable option to use or if anyone needs additional primary sources for it to be kept I can provide it since I handled citations before and can help since I prefer not to speculate.

Delete I was actually looking to close this AfD, but looking at the arguments above, and then looking at the article itself, I am inclined to agree with the nominator.

- ESPN covers almost anything related to sports indiscriminately. How many sports articles are there? An article for every season of almost every team. My point here is that degrading sites like Newsarama does not support your point to delete. I no longer think the article should be kept, but rather it should be merged to Menace (Marvel Comics) Spidey104^contribs 02:07, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm hardly degrading Newsarama, just pointing out that sites like Newsarama don't prove that this comic arc is notable among all other comics. Unless you're like DustFormsWords who thinks that the notability of Spider-Man by itself is enough to warrant notability for all related subjects, because that's all I'm seeing.
  - And I don't know much about the sports articles, but if there are articles for every season of different teams, then I imagine it follows different notability criteria. Because I don't see Wikipedia giving articles to every single comicbook arc of different characters, even if said characters are notable.--Sandor Clegane (talk) 02:17, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - DustFormsWords argument about Spider-Man giving all of his arcs notability is a separate argument from claiming that a site like Newsarama covering the arc does not give it notability. Newsarama does not cover all story arcs, so its coverage of this arc can prove notability. Spidey104^contribs 02:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Excuse me, I never made the argument that Spider-Man gives inherent notabilty to individual arcs. My observation was that there is such a general level of discussion about and interest in Spider-Man that it would not be surprising to see each arc of (the publication) Amazing Spider-Man receive enough significant coverage to pass WP:N. Sandor seems to be proceeding from a starting point that only X percent of arcs of ASM should be notable, and I'm saying that that's a faulty assumption - there's no reason they can't all be, provided they each pass WP:N. - DustFormsWords (talk) 02:51, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Menace (Marvel Comics) (Change from Delete) Although I am not convinced that JoeChill's sources are quite enough to warrant an article about this particular arc, I am convinced by this discussion that the content should be kept, and as Spidey104 says, this is the obvious merge destination. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 06:02, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The strangest of all is "Keep per notability. just keep".JamesBWatson (talk) 16:57, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and move to [Ron Orp's Newsletter]. 2 of the 3 listed sources are substantial articles, and I found a third in English. That is enough to establish notability: significant local coverage (all 3 are Zurich). I have integrated all but the English one as references (it's primarily audio) and added important info that was missing: the names of the founders/owners and the fact Ron Orp is almost certainly fictional. The article still needs its subscriber numbers/dates referencing, and one source mentions cities not listed in the history - are these still to come, or on hold? And it's mistitled. But it passes on notability.Yngvadottir (talk) 18:05, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Move to Ron Orp's Newsletter per Yngvadottir. The person fails WP:BIO, but the newsletter seems to have enough of a circulation to merit inclusion. Movementarian (Talk) 13:34, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- On the basis of circulation, I see that the 1000th most popular twitter account, "Milton (GeekPolice)", (geekpolice.net is a computer novice and enthusiast website) had over 123,000 followers. By your logic this ought to have a Wikipedia article along with the rest of the top 1000+ as these are more 'notable' than the Ron Orp newsletter. Fæ (talk) 13:52, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What you suggest would be useful, but that is a long term goal with no contributing editors at present. I'd be pleased if you were to take on such a task, but until there is a section in List of boycotts containing a "United States" section and subsection "Arizona", we have to leave this or something similar in. Doing otherwise would be going backwards and a disservice to our readers. Facts707 (talk) 21:29, 11 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as useful search term which breaks no policies. To address the 'delete' arguments above: 1. "putting two things together to make a new topic" is not an example of original research. It would be an example of synthesis if any conclusion was drawn which wasn't found in the original sources, but since this is just a list with no development of ideas at all, that clearly isn't the case. 2. I guess the WP:SALAT argument being made is that the list is "too specific". To me it seems that it is at a useful level of specificity. In addition WP:SALAT - as a guideline - may be overridden when it is useful to do so. 3. Not encyclopedic? See WP:UNENCYC. Thparkth (talk) 10:01, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This started out as a disamb but during the previous AfD was changed to a list to counter the objection that disambs should technically point to articles, not sections within articles - even large and significant sections.

Comment -- Hmm, I find it hard to believe there isn't significant coverage of anything by Fukumoto in Asian language sources. The title being a very common kanji makes it hard to search for, though. Doceirias (talk) 20:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- I agree that the article needs improvement, especially in the references department. Unfortunately, like Doceirias already said, is it very hard to find anything about it because of its common name. I mostly found shops selling the manga, and some blogs [11] and review sites [12] about which I'm not sure if they qualify as references. Maybe a Japanese speaker may be able to find more. By the way, the Japanese Wikipedia's article doesn't cite any references either, and its only external link appears to be dead, yet the subject seems to be notable enough there. Furthermore, I think the article is notable because it first introduces Akagi. WakiMiko (talk) 19:48, 2 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I did find http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2010-04-08/creator-of-akagi-and-kaiji-to-visit-finland-in-june which says "Mr Fukumoto established himself with a mahjong manga Ten – Tenhoodoori no Kaidanjin in 1989 during Japan's economic boom, when the popularity of gambling manga soared." so at the very least it should be merged into an article (either Akagi or the author's). --Gwern (contribs) 21:49 6 June 2010 (GMT)

Delete Fails WP:BK and WP:N - a minor mention in ANN alone is not significant coverage, and non-reliable sources of course cannot establish notability at all. Without actual demonstrable, verifiable coverage, claims of probably coverage also cannot make it notable as they are not actually shown to exist.

Keep' It was published for 13 years in a magazine and then reprinted in 18 volumes. It had a notable writer, Nobuyuki Fukumoto, whose other works have articles. He went on after that to publish the prequel Akagi (manga), with the same titular character, and this got turned into 26 anime episodes. You don't need to find reviews to tell you something is notable, you just need to think for yourself.

Akrapovič[edit]

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

Withdrawn Fails WP:COMPANY. There is no independent coverage focused on Akrapovič. Quote, "Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability.". Most of their media attention is bought and paid for via sports sponsorships. There is a single, highly-biased post at a blog [13] that primary trades in warmed-over press releases. Needs much more than that to justify existence of article. Dbratland (talk) 03:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep , infact speedy keep per recent expansion. First of all try googling Akrapovic with a plain C. Turns up 2,000,000 searcxh results as opposed to 95,000 under the native C letter. Now look in google books, no independent coverage????. Is this a joke? This is a major leading exhaust company and used for many motorcycles in racing etc, particularly it would seem on Kawasaki bikes. See BMW site etc. An article about it being a major success story which states that "Akrapovič has become a top-class global brand". Which it has in its field I believe. No there isn't a massive amount of sources online, but neither is there for many Slovenian topics. There are sources like this and a Maribor University source dscussing the comany available on PDF in Slovenian..... Also there are University of Ljubljana sources widely discussing it. To me it seems Akrapovič is to exhausts as Pirelli is to tires and Castrol is to oil otherwise I wouldn't have started it. Look at the logos on the bike in link I gave you Pirelli, Castrol, TItan now look at the exhaust, Akrapovič.... "Akrapović provides exhaust systems for MotoGP, World Superbike and World Supersport" and some of the sources I've mentioned above and below should be enough to establish that it is actually a notable company. Just needs expansion. I would also guess that there are many moto magazine articles mentioning it..There are even independent books on the company like this meaning "Akrapovič. Technical and financial genius". Not to mention a lengthy book about it by Igor Akrapovič and coverage in reliable books such as this. Unless you've actually looked through resource material such as books and magazines.... You should know that the Internet often does not have the best sources for certain topics on here. I can think of many notable companies which online are only mentioned briefly in news sources and are only discussed in non reliable sites. Funny how you deem a bunch of American outlaw riders as notable because they make good news material and have a lot of coverage yet you think a major global exhaust supplier to motorbikes in professional racing doesn't cut the mustard. How many people want to write extensively about a Slovenian exhaust company I ask in news? Your claim about no independent coverage is false, there are books on the company as I pointed out and many reliable independent materials that could be found to improve it.

Comment I tend to agree with Carrite. The Motorhome Diaries project was quite a phenomenon but this AfD really underscores the growing inadequacy of WP:RS and WP:N guidelines to accommodate the reality of what is well-sourced and notable. Because of the guidelines, I can't say "keep" without being in direct conflict with the rules (with the possible exception of WP:IAR), but because of how the glaring nature of these guidelines' suckiness is put on display here, I'm finding it difficult to stomach giving my assent to deep-sixing the article. I'll leave that to those who are more willing to walk in lock-step with a misguided community consensus. Tisane (talk) 16:18, 26 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm happy to jump into this poisoned well. Forget about the rules, I've read this article a half dozen times and I'm still trying to figure out why he is notable. He has worked at all these different places, yet the article doesn't assert what he has actually done as an activist that is important. He sponsored a scholarship, confronts police officers for parking illegally, and refuses to attend Washington Nationals games? Is that it? He uses YouTube to spread his message. For real?! I'm sure he is a pleasant fellow and a smart guy, but his resume sounds exactly like a dozen people I know. If the Motorhome Diaries project was notable and his being "involved" with it was significant, I'm OK with him being mentioned there. Location (talk) 06:40, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to inclusionists I'm glad that in the USA (and Canada) there is freedom for people like Mr. Eyre to make their verbal and symbolic statements. And really we need people like him. However to make an encyclopedia article worth reading there needs to be some in depth coverage of the person and his effect on society (from reliable sources of course), not just reports of the things he has done. Steve Dufour (talk) 04:05, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The Motorhome Diaries project is nifty but it isn't the subject of the article. There's very little, perhaps just enough in the way of reliable independent secondary sources to write an article on that project, but Eyre (IIRC) is just one member of that team and isn't mentioned in many of the articles involved, even less given biographical information. As a result, I don't believe Eyre meets WP:N. --Joe Decker (talk) 08:13, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguate. There's a topic here ("environmental science") and a qualification ("GCE A-level"), and this article concerns the intersection of the two. This is an encyclopaedia, not a textbook, and it's aimed at the general reader, not the A-level student. Therefore coverage of the topic belongs in Environmental science, and coverage of the qualification belongs in GCE Advanced Level. The subject should be mentioned by name in the List of Advanced Level subjects.—S Marshall T/C 12:30, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It may be verifiable but it is not notable. Wp should not be used for documenting individual educational qualifications at this level. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 07:19, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion for non-notable company, article by SPA who is the COO of the company. While many sources are given, none constitute significant coverage, and I have been unable to find any such. Haakon (talk) 07:24, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About notability and Oscarguindzbrg being the COO of the company: This issue was already covered more than a year ago and the decission was to keep the page. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/CreationFlow "Keep. Business seems to have won several local & national awards, although my Spanish isn't good enough to determine the precise nature of these awards. Certainly looks like it's notable, though. JulesH (talk) 10:32, 11 January 2009 (UTC)". During the past few months, some other wikipedia users have edited the page and nobody marked the article for deletion. Besides that, CreationFlow has thousands of users around the globe. Since this is a tool for a specific market, maybe someone working on graphic design, animation, architectural rendering, advertising or post production, may give an opinion on this issue. CreationFlow is part of a new category of tools and yesterday I created an article Online artwork proofing, feedback, review and approval tool to provide information about this new set of tools (which mentions several other tools). Oscarguindzberg (talk) 22:34, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

About the sources, many of them are independent reviews of the tool, including The New York Times (The most relevant ones: http://www.nytimes.com/external/gigaom/2009/04/02/02gigaom-integrated-collaboration-and-project-management-w-10206.html, http://www.centernetworks.com/creationflow-collaboration-tool http://www.appappeal.com/app/creationflow/, http://www.brighthub.com/office/project-management/reviews/27371.aspx, http://www.denbagus.net/creationflowcom-collaboration-via-the-internet/), news about awards the product won (http://www.iae.edu.ar/iaehoy/IAEtv/videos/Paginas/naves.aspx, http://www.agencia.gov.ar/IMG/pdf/08.07.08_Emprendedores_aprobados.pdf) and links about investments the company received (http://www.iecyt.org.ar/inversores/red-de-inversores-angeles).

Delete coverage by reliable source is not significant enough to establish notability. Most of the references given are not independent reliable sources. It's also hard to see what is referencing what without footnotes.--70.80.234.196 (talk) 13:42, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm not seeing the significant coverage required here. Most of the "references" don' seem to be valid or reliable references at all (blogs, database entries, profiles etc). Rehevkor ✉ 15:05, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete WP:CORP explicitly calls for significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it. The coverage provided in the links here are trivial/incidental at best. Saying a company is notable isn't enough, it needs to be demonstrated, and based upon what is here and in the article, that hasn't been established.---Balloonman ^{NO!

Comment - I see a few sources out there. Perhaps the most interesting is this one, which says "DaimlerChrysler plants are almost 100% populated with Nachi robots for spot welding and material handling applications". — C M B J 03:13, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That appears to be a press release. Can you find any independent sources? noq (talk) 07:55, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Sheen[edit]

Seems to fail WP:BLP1E. He's basically known for getting in trouble with the law society, something covered in all of one source. In addition, privacy is a concern; we've received an OTRS request for removal (ticket 2010053110001242) Ironholds (talk) 08:05, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, upon looking closely at this one, I concur with the nominator. The sole significant coverage about Sheen seems to be an article in the Sydney Morning Herald. While this material would certainly have a place in the article if Sheen were a more notable individual, I can't really find anything else much on him. The other sources provided in the article do not address Sheen in depth. For this reason, I feel he does not meet the WP:BIO criteria at this time.

Mothering (magazine)[edit]

Appears non-notable per WP:NOTE and WP:ORG. No evidence of substantial coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources. As a result, article is basically a free-fire zone. Should be deleted until/unless independent secondary sources are available enabling the creation of a neutral, encyclopedic article. MastCell ^Talk 23:56, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ive found minimal coverage in other sources, plus the magazine has generated two books from a major imprint of one of the largest book publishers on earth. also removed some obviously poor content. I believe i have established the minimum of notability.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:08, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. 400+ hits at Google News Archives, and just on the first few pages I find overwhelming evidence of third party coverage. There was a fracas over a breastfeeding cover[38][39]; a 1997 Albuquerque Journal article (reprinted in the Denver Post) commenting that "The magazine, once a fringe publication read by hippies, has taken on broader appeal because its long-championed controversial issues - such as breast feeding, circumcision and vaccinations - have more mass appeal in the 1990s."[40]; reports in other media of articles from this magazine[41][42][43]; a role in a legal battle[44]. It gets nominated for awards[45] and sometimes wins them[46]. --Arxiloxos (talk) 07:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
