Alice Ward[edit]

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

Delete (not merge or redirect): This is a vanity page for someone completely non-notable. I realize she just died and I don't mean to sound unsympathetic because I know she had a large family that loved her, but this doesn't change that fact that the entire article consists of her being the mother of boxer Micky Ward, who was played by Mark Wahlberg on film. Her death can be included in her sons' articles. (I originally requested a speedy deletion but rather amazingly this was denied so I am going this route.) [email protected] (talk) 23:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I disagree, as it seems do several other editors who have helped with the article and the one who denied your speedy deletion request. She was a real life person that someone won an Academy Award for portraying, and although brief a article as it is (it may get longer as more people want to add, there IS more information out there, she deserves her own article on Wikipedia, and as of now there is not one mention of her on her sons Wiki page's so there is no where to add her. It's also important as a part of the Academy Award history for people who are looking for information on Oscar Winning Characters. If Leigh Anne Tuohy deserves a page, so does she. (Rharrington 00:11, 29 April 2011 (UTC)) Rharrington112 (talk)

Actors get nominated for awards for portraying non-notable characters. In itself, it is not argument for keeping an article about a subject portrayed – a person whose only notability is being mother to two boxer sons. Nor is she the central subject of the film. Bear in mind that WP:NOT#MEMORIAL, this article seems to be in violation of, as it stands. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 02:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, give it time: It was only created roughly 23 hours ago, so there's still time for information to flow in. She is a pretty notable person, considering she was portrayed in an Oscar-winning film. If she was only the inspiration, fine, not that notable, but since she does have a credible background, i feel she meets notability. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 22:42 28 April 2011 (UTC)

She died recently, at the ripe old age of 79. If she was genuinely notable, it is likely she would have had an article long ago, and not upon her death. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 02:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rharrington112 - Your logic is seriously flawed. I don't know much about Leigh Anne Tuohy, but the movie was about her (Tuohy's) philanthropy. If you want to AFD the Tuohy page go ahead -- it has nothing to do with this page, aside from Academy Award winning actresses. As far as Alice Ward, with all due respect and with serious curiosity, may I ask how she "meets notability" other than being the mother of Micky Ward and Dickie Ecklund? [email protected] (talk) 00:55, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't she the manager for them at a time IIRC? Connormah (talk) 06:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I think my previous statements are not flawed and are valid. If someone writes an Academy Award winning role that is solely about this person, I would say that is notable enough. The news of her death is on every major news site and people are obviously interested in her and her life. (Rharrington 01:21, 29 April 2011 (UTC)) Rharrington112 (talk)

Rharrington112 - Your logic is seriously flawed. No one "deserves" an article, btw. I don't know much about Leigh Anne Tuohy, but the movie was about Tuohy's own philanthropy and actions, not her sister or her husband or her son, etc. If you want to AFD the Tuohy page go ahead -- it has nothing to do with this page, aside from Academy Award winning actresses.

You keep saying "I think" or "I would say". Try "I can show because..." Other than being the mother of Micky Ward and Dickie Ecklund, Alice Ward is non-notable. Most people have mothers and fathers; parents do not accrue notability by dint of their children's accomplishments, even if their characters are played on celluloid. In short, she doesn't merit her own article just because Melissa Leo was nominated for an Oscar and happened to win. I haven't seen such a threadbare blatantly sentimental vanity article in quite a while. [email protected] (talk) 01:30, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Actually people do 'deserve' articles. That's the point of notability and deciding who has it and who doesn't. They did something that warrants public interest and acknowledgment. It's been clearly stated that her son's wouldn't have had a career without her help, she was their manager. I can guarantee you that Leigh Ann Tuoghy wouldn't have her own page (much less be known to the public) if Sandra Bullock wouldn't have won an Oscar for portraying her in a film. Very few performances are nominated for or win an Academy Award that are based directly on real people and considering all that has to take place for that to happen it's quite an honor. I'm sure the article will grow in time, more information will be released when they make funeral plans, and I will try to add to it myself. (Rharrington 01:43, 29 April 2011 (UTC)) Rharrington112 (talk)

I suppose it is remotely possible that a valid article can be made about Alice Ward that will show her objective notability. The current article, which contains less information that an average New York Times paid obit, should be deleted, and a new better article created when/if one ever comes into being.

No one "deserves" an article, just as no one is entitled to a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame or an Emmy or Tony or Academy Award. Many deserving folks have not gotten the stars or awards I would say they deserve, but life is a witch (with a capital "B") sometimes, ain't it?

Delete: WP:NOTINHERITED -- neither from her sons nor from the actress who happened to win an Oscar playing her (an Oscar confers merit on the performance, not the role). No independent notability is even articulated, let alone established. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 07:48, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per Hrafn above. Nymf _hideliho! 11:31, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The coverage of her death has been reported in numerous journals internationally such as The Guardian and so the topic is certainly notable. If there is not much to say about her then we might merge into another article but, as we have at least three related articles - Micky Ward, The Fighter (2010 film) and Melissa Leo, it seems best to keep this short article here as a link between them. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:27, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS: "Tertiary sources such as compendia, encyclopedias, textbooks, obituaries, and other summarizing sources may be used to give overviews or summaries, but should not be used in place of secondary sources for detailed discussion." (my emphasis) As to the argument against merging, there would be no reason why mention of her could not be included in Micky Ward (the most closely related article, e.g. as part of a 'Family' section), with links from The Fighter (2010 film) and Melissa Leo to the appropriate section. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 22:49, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat: this is a vanity page, whether it originated in "Southie" or not. I am sorry she passed away, but if she were notable why was the article only created after her death? It is an insult to everyone's intelligence to pretend otherwise! [email protected] (talk) 22:54, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Vanity pages are written by the subject but this person is dead and did not write the article. The claim that this is a vanity page is therefore false. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:42, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't be flippant. It is an obvious vanity page, written by someone ~~close to her~~ despite her clear non-notability. An article doesn't have to be written by its subject to be a vanity page. [email protected] (talk) 10:35, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article was created by an editor who has created other articles related to the cinema and theatre such as Estelle Hemsley and De'Adre Aziza. Your claim of a personal connection seems absurd and you present no evidence. Accusing an editor of vanity without any evidence is a personal attack contrary to our civility policy. Please apologise and withdraw. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Obituaries are quite satisfactory for our purpose as we write summaries rather than exhaustively detailed biographies. Such sources are very suitable for establishing notability as they demonstrate a good level of general interest in the topic. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:42, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, what point here is in dispute? I am not disputing this but an obituary by itself does not ipso fact confer notability, especially a "paid obit", which is what I made reference to earlier in this colloquy. [email protected] (talk) 10:39, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Guadian article which I cited was not a paid obituary. The interest in this case seems to derive from the connection with the Oscar award not payment or vanity. The resulting obituaries are therefore satisfactory as evidence of notability. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Again, "an obituary by itself does not ipso fact confer notability", as I said. I am not going to apologize for anything. The editor who created this article may have created other articles, but that doesn't mean this one is valid. He or she exercised very poor judgment in creating what amounts to a vanity page. [email protected] (talk) 11:28, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as cited above by Hrafn: "Tertiary sources such as compendia, encyclopedias, textbooks, obituaries, and other summarizing sources may be used to give overviews or summaries, but should not be used in place of secondary sources for detailed discussion." [email protected] (talk) 11:37, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I will not go so far as to call this a vanity page, but if all the obituaries have is that she was the mother of two famous boxers, WP:NOTINHERITED fits perfectly. She must be notable in and of her own right. Hence why we have Kate Middleton, Pippa Middleton but no James William Middleton; the same applies. Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:00, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In a clear case of WP:BEANS we now do have an article about cake maker James William Middleton Bob House 884 (talk) 17:10, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Created by Colonel Warden, I see. [email protected] (talk) 18:43, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oops. Although I see that it has already been nominated for speedy at least once and may end up here within a couple days. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:05, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No long term notability, whilst her death is sad there only appears to be fleeting coverage which, with respect, seems to be of the 'and in other news..'/cat stuck up a tree variety. The arguments that she inherits notability from either having been played in a notable film or having reared successful children don't have much grounding as has been noted. Bob House 884 (talk) 17:10, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If they are notable enough to be listed in the obituaries of major newspapers, that makes them a notable person. Dream Focus 14:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you keep making up these rules? If anything, Wikipedia guidelines say the exact opposite.--Yaksar (let's chat) 19:00, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't just a passing mention in the obituaries, or a paid announcement, but a full article on someone a major newspaper has decided notable enough to do an article on. [1] Dream Focus 19:03, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Only claim to notability is her son, if she didn't have the son she wouldn't have had the obituary in a major paper and there would have been no film. Agree that WP:NOTINHERITED fits perfectly. J04n(talk page) 16:53, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, notability is not inherited and has no long term notability. Axem Titanium (talk) 19:55, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Are you serious? No long term notability. People 60 years from now will look back and watch The Fighter just to see Melissa Leo's portrayal of her, and they will want to know about the real life person, I know I do after watching movies based on real people, especially Academy Award Winners. )talk) (Rharrington 21:01, 3 May 2011 (UTC)) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rharrington112 (talk • contribs) [reply]

I'm not sure you fully understand wikipedias policy on notability. For better or worse, we don't like to keep articles solely because they contain potentially useful trivia. Perhaps in a year or two, some journalist will publish a well researched piece on the life and times of Ms. Ward or some details of interviews between her and Leo will be published and then we'll be able to create an article - heck, if your right about the public interest in real life film characters, this is virtually certain to happen - but at the moment all we have is a few rather short tertiary sources which only really tell us three facts (i.e. that she was the mother of Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund, that she was played by Melissa Leo and that she died in 2011), this doesnt make for 'significant coverage' Bob House 884 (talk) 22:13, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable per Bob House, and per my comments above. --Ohconfucius ^¡digame! 02:29, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - being played by someone notable in a film doesn't necessarily make a person notable. In this case, there doesn't seem to be enough coverage of her, outside of the reports of her death, to suggest that she's notable enough to deserve an article. Robofish (talk) 23:06, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable in my opinion. The news coverage of her death cited is mostly about the movie and who played her, and even then isn't in-depth or significant. Thparkth (talk) 00:55, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jeff Quinn (pornographic actor)[edit]

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

Fails WP:PORNBIO, no indication the subject can satisfy the GNG or any other specialized guideline. Subject appeared in eight pornographic films in the 1980s. While the article claims the films are "consider among the best" for their era, the cited sources don't support that claim; while they mention one or two of the films, the article subject is noted only in passing. The original AFD was quite contentious and closed as no consenus; it took place during the Ash/Benjiboi fracas over gay porn. Much of the sourcing for the article, added during the initial AFD, has proved questionable or phony; what remains does little more than show existence and confirm the subject's participation in the porn industry. Two of the three book sources are effectively identical, as one reprints the relevant chapter from the other. The article subject simply lacks the coverage required to establish notability. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 22:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reluctant delete - coverage of gay erotica and pornography is woefully underdone on Wikipedia so it disturbs me to see any aspect of that coverage removed, but an examination of available sources doesn't support a separate article for this performer. I see in the last AFD that his apparent status as a Playgirl Man of the Month was deemed equivalent to being a Playgirl Playmate, and in the interest of gender parity I agree. That automatic notability for Playmates has been deprecated so in fairness the same standard should apply to Playgirl Men of the Month. Harley Hudson (talk) 19:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Serpent's Choice (talk · contribs) makes a good point in the discussion about the reliability of the sources provided; the column used for the entirety of this article's referencing has no real intention to be reliable journalism. As such, the article is clearly lacking in any kind of reliable sourcing. No convincing argument is made for any particular redirect - though if someone takes it upon themselves to incorporate a sourced mention of this phenomenon into another related article, a redirect would at that time be appropriate. ~ mazca ^talk 12:08, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Jamaica Gleaner is a publication with a pretty long history. However, the Roving with Lalah column is a collection of local color stories and that sort of thing, and isn't really held to a traditional journalistic standard.

I actually disagree with the redirect.

Weak Delete and Oppose Redirect. There is coverage in the Gleaner, however, the coverage is only from a single reporter, and I can find no other sources that write about this duppy. The redirect is completely inappropriate. Is there any evidence that Wenticko, a particular manifestation of a Jamaican ghost is also Wendigo, an Algonquian mythical creature? Is there any evidence that "Wenticko" is used as alternate spelling for "Wendigo". If you have such evidence, please put it forward aas I have looked and there is absolutely none that I can find. -- Whpq (talk) 13:58, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Iurie Boreico[edit]

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

The subject's only claim to fame is winning the IMO three times. There has been consensus in the past that this is not on its own considered to make the subject notable. The basic criterion for inclusion of a mathematician is WP:PROF, which the subject fails. For mathematics competitions, the criterion is usually WP:ATHLETE, which excludes student competitions. In specific cases, WP:GNG has been invoked, and in those cases there were generally other positive reasons for inclusion. For example, Reid Barton was written up in Science magazine, and in addition won the Putnam medal four times. Earlier discussions can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reid W. Barton (which was kept, largely because of arguments that I made there) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Darij Grinberg (which was deleted).

Keep. Winning five medals at IMOs is at least equivalent to being named All-American in basketball or football, which has been enough notability in the past (see thousands of biographies of college and high school athletes, e.g. Michael Gilchrist, Andre Drummond). --bender235 (talk) 22:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. From WP:ATHLETE: "High school and pre-high school athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage. Note that the first clause would exclude all school papers and school websites that cover their sports teams and other teams they compete against. The second clause excludes the majority of local coverage in both news sources and sports specific publications. It especially excludes using game play summaries, statistical results, or routine interviews as sources to establish notability." That doesn't seem to be the case [2], although you're welcome to try to find something suitable. Sławomir Biały (talk) 22:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest I don't care much about the notability guidelines here, at least not by chapter and verse. Being one of the all-time best participants in the IMO might not be mentioned as a notability criterion anywhere, but I consider that person notable nonetheless. As I do consider say athletes who broke youth or junior world records, or won some major competition (e.g. Darrel Brown, Yohan Blake, Jacko Gill). --bender235 (talk) 23:59, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a reminder for those not in the know, "Medals are awarded to the highest ranked participants, such that slightly less than half of them receive a medal. Subsequently the cutoffs (minimum score required to receive a gold, silver or bronze medal) are chosen such that the ratio of medals awarded approximates 1:2:3." Gold winner doesn't mean the top dog (in IMO or IOI). Tijfo098 (talk) 02:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

We do have an article for #1 & #2 there Christian Reiher and Reid Barton, (or guys further down below Ciprian Manolescu or László Lovász) but they are notable for other achievements as well.

Hmm, the fact that two USA IMO gold winners have pages here, Gabriel Carroll and Reid Barton while their Chinese counterparts (who you can be sure have coverage in the Chinese press) do not, surely indicates systemic bias.

That's fine, except that we aren't evaluating the subject as a mathematician, but as a competitor in a student event. He firmly fails WP:PROF. Sławomir Biały (talk) 11:59, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we're a evaluating him as a competitor in a student event. As one of the all-time best competitors in that particular event. How in the world does that not meet notability criteria? If we were talking about an athlete with the fourth-strongest record at say the IAAF World Junior Championships in Athletics, we wouldn't even have this Afd. Why should Jacko Gill (youngest WJC gold medallist) be notable, but not Raul Chavez Sarmiento (second youngest bronze and silver medalist)? Why Dexter Lee (only two-time WJC gold medalist), but not Ciprian Manolescu (only three-time IMO gold medalist with perfect papers). Which is to say if Gill, Lee, Iizuka, Gordon, and James meet WP:ATHLETE, why wouldn't Reiher, Barton, Kane, and Boreico? --bender235 (talk) 13:43, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At some point, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS seems to be relevant. In the past, there was consensus that even really good IMO records do not translate into notability. That is directly relevant to how previous consensus comes to bear on assessing the notability of this particular subject. That there are lower standards for other student competitions (lower than seem to be supported by our own guidelines) is regrettable, but there is very little to do about it. We obviously can't discuss here the individual merits of every high school athlete we happen to have an article on. But it's very likely that some of these should be deleted per our guideline as well. In this case, the bottom line is whether multiple independent secondary sources have substantial coverage of the subject. That just doesn't seem to be true. Sławomir Biały (talk) 14:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you harp on about press coverage? To me, this is not the main criterion here. Question is, whether say the top 10 all-time IMO participants are as notable as the top 10 World Junior Athletics Championship participants, or All-Tournament selections at FIBA World U19 Championships, or All-USA high school football selections? In my opinion they are. And this is not WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, so stop throwing such instructions at regulars, or read WP:NOTPOLICY. --bender235 (talk) 15:26, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about high school athletics per se. I do know that prior consensus on student mathematics competitions is very much against you. The guidelines are also against you, and I know what our guideline says. It seems pretty cut-and-dry. Sławomir Biały (talk) 15:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You brought up the WP:ATHLETE guideline for this in your nom, and per WP:ATHLETE some college/high school/junior/youth athletes are notable, particularly if they "have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level", which the IMO clearly is. By the way, there's a difference between the IMO and your local spelling bee competition. Just because they're both "student competition" doesn't mean we should treat them equally, just like we distinguish the Alabama High School Track Meet from the IAAF World Junior Championships, althought technically, they're both "student competitions", too. --bender235 (talk) 16:03, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nowhere in WP:ATHLETE does it say that high school competitions of any kind confer notability. The "major international amateur" competitions are of the Olympic Games and world championship variety, not the "international high school spelling bee" variety. There is no real parallel. For context, you need to read past the nutshell. The circumstances for notability of a high school athlete are very clearly explained. These standards are not met in this case. The basic requirement is, and always has been, that the subject of the article must be the subject of substantial coverage in multiple independent sources. That is non-negotiable. Simply appearing in a list doesn't seem to be adequate. It certainly isn't enough to build an encyclopedia article on. Sławomir Biały (talk) 17:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm getting tired of this. Could you finally please explain to me why the International Math Olympiad is supposed to be a "high school competition" (and therefore applying the HS athlete section of WP:ATHLETE), instead of a "major international amateur competition"? --bender235 (talk) 17:46, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The difference, of course, is that there are no high level "adult" competitions in mathematics. Sławomir Biały (talk) 18:36, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know there aren't. But does that mean just because the IMO has an age limit it qualifies as "non-adult competition"? What about the Fields Medal? Is that a junior prize as well? Seriously, I can only repeat my point: exceptionally succesful IMO participants are notable (per whatever guideline you want). That doesn't include people who just participated or won a medal, but certainly people you won gold at the age of 14, or wrote multiple perfect papers. That is, in my mind, just as notable as someone breaking a youth or junior world record, or winning a gold medal at world championships in any sport. --bender235 (talk) 18:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Exceptionally successful spelling bee participants are generally not considered to be notable either. Exceptional performance in student competitions is not prima facie evidence of notability. As I've already said, the guidelines bear out my point of view: sources are the thing. Sławomir Biały (talk) 12:59, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Even grad students are almost never notable. More so for undergrads. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:47, 29 April 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Emma Watson is an undergrad as well, but of course she meets notability guidelines because her notability draws from her acting career. Boreico isn't listed for the fact that he's a math Ph.D. student, but for the fact that he's one of the all-time best in IMO history. --bender235 (talk) 13:05, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a specious and irrelevant comparison. Emma Watson isn't notable for her academic achievements. She's a Hollywood star, with press coverage all over the place. If you can find even a fraction of that kind of coverage for the subject of this article, you are welcome to present it. Sławomir Biały (talk) 14:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This was merely to say that "undergrad = irrelevant" is a non-argument, because Boreico is not notable for his academic status, but for his IMO results. --bender235 (talk) 15:26, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not notable as an academic per WP:PROF, and too little coverage to pass under the general provisions of WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Nsk92 (talk) 22:27, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:PROF addresses this concern already: "Victories in academic student competitions at the high school and university level as well as other awards and honors for academic student achievements (at either high school, undergraduate or graduate level) do not qualify under Criterion 2 and do not count towards partially satisfying Criterion 1." Sławomir Biały (talk) 00:32, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See deletion discussions for Arthur Rubin, Darij Grinberg, Reid W. Barton. Of these, the ones that were kept were only kept because of additional exceptional circumstances under the WP:GNG or WP:PROF. Sławomir Biały (talk) 00:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rubin is notable beyond his IMO results, that leaves Barton and Grinberg. Barton is one of the most successful participants ever, Grinberg not. Barton's article is still there, Grinberg's is not. Where exactly does this contradict my point? --bender235 (talk) 10:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read the arguments made at those AfD's to understand why some were kept and others not. The bottom line is that Barton was discussed in multiple independent sources (books, magazine articles), not (just) because he had an exceptional IMO record. Likewise, Rubin was reckoned to pass WP:PROF#C1 based on a highly cited paper. Being "one of the most successful participants" in either case was not considered a strong reason to keep.

If five IMO medals were dime a dozen, this list would have been stuffed full of people, but it isn't. Are their hundreds of mathematicians with IMO medals? Yes. Are their hundreds of mathematicians with five medals, three of them gold, and two with perfect papers? No. So let's keep the exceptional participants. --bender235 (talk) 10:16, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly a dime a dozen, but not so rare as to be exceptional in the academic world, is my point. Certainly not so exceptional as to merit automatic notability under WP:PROF, which we reserve for, say, professors holding distinguished chairs, with decades of important contributions to their fields. Since WP:PROF doesn't apply, we apply WP:GNG: has an independent source reported on the subject, at length? I see no such press coverage. Ray^Talk 22:26, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"not so rare as to be exceptional" Boreico is fourth on the all-time list. How much rarer does it get? If the notability guidelines don't recognized top-10 all-time achievements at the IMO as notable, then they are erroneous or at least incomplete and should rightfully be ignored. --bender235 (talk) 22:31, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rarity alone is not a measure of notability. As the silly old saw goes, we're all unique and special, and above average in our own way. These guys are just a bit smarter than the rest of us, is all. Notability requires, well, that people care, specifically, to the extent of citing them, or writing about them in published sources. Consensus seems to be running against you in this regard.

Christianity in heavy metal[edit]

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

Reads like a personal essay, also WP:SYN. There's already an article about the topic of Christian metal. What this article does for the most part of it is listing individual cases, such as "Nick van Dyk, guitarist and songwriter for the band Redemption, is a practicing Catholic and although Redemption is not a religious band, there are undercurrents of spirituality in their music" but band member's individual experiences are completely irrelevant here, and such is also the lead section with a reference to the Beatles who never played heavy metal music.

Provisional keep (is that allowed?) Delete. The subject is separate from Christian metal, as it deals with the treatment of Christianity in secular metal, not metal which is distinctly Christian. The article in general, especially the lead, does read like an essay, though, and it doesn't seem to be a matter of simple cleanup. I think the subject could support its own article, but not in its current form. It would need to be rewritten - maybe approached from a different perspective? --Fru1tbat (talk) 20:42, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think the subject could support its own article, but not in its current form. It would need to be rewritten - maybe approached from a different perspective?" - i.e. he says the subject's good but not the material. Anyway let's just wait until he replies to our "thoughts". Dragquennom (talk) 12:06, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Dragquennom, I think you're probably right. I think the problems are inherent in the current material, not just the writing style. Also, per Azure Shrieker below. Vote amended to delete. --Fru1tbat (talk) 13:12, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I regret starting this 'article' in the first place. It was originally a sub-article of a section in the Christian metal article that got out of hand and was moved to cut size down. I already once tagged this to be deleted but the request was quickly rejected. As someone commented in the edit field, this just lacks any 'point' - or we just are not able to make it clear what ever it was and I doubt we will. This is more of a tabloid gossip material than an encyclopedia-worthy, credible article. Even the scholar Moberg commented that sections like these (that emphasize the use of Christianity by certain secular bands) imply fan mentality (typical for "fan-scholarly" writings as he put it), thus unprofessionalism. Christian metal forums are full of these discussions. I think those should stay there for privacy's sake. --Azure Shrieker (talk) 21:53, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I understand the whole "fan-mentality" thing, but there are bands like Trouble that are definitely associated with Christian metal (the band's label coined the term "white metal"), but are not actually Christian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3family6 (talk • contribs) 01:32, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think such cases should be discussed in the individual band or musician articles if necessary. Many already are, like Trouble, Santolla, Araya... Now this article just attracts anonymous editors to add more and more obscure bands here with supposed Christian references and members that are debatable at best. Truth is, there are lots of those bands out there, lots of them, so it does not make sense to keep this article just to collect them all in one place. It might make sense to rewrite this and approach from different angle, such as discussing metal's relationship to Christianity, anti-Christian sentiment etc. but even that is already mentioned in the Christian metal article and some other ones.--Azure Shrieker (talk) 21:06, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMO it could've been be deleted as WP:CSD#G7, i.e., "If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content to the page was added by its author", if users wouldn't actually add useless individual musicians' cases, which they did, and which are irrelevant, as stated in my rationale.

Keep User:PeteMcGinity I disagreewith the assessment that the article is 'weak at best'. And I've noticed there has been significant deletions to this article recently including the discographies of the artist, and for which I do not see any editors' reasoning for doing so listed in the history of this article. A considerable amount of verifiable information is available in published newspapers, magazines, books and other artist websites referencing Mr. Chadbourne's works and contributions as a musician, writer and discographer (Rome Daily Sentinel, the Houghton Mileau, Scene Magazine, Cleveland Magazine, the book "Bubblegum is the Naked Truth", and other books) which editors could add in instances where needed to improve the article. However, Wikipedia's definition of "verifiable" clearly states that "The word "source" also includes "the creator of the work (for example, the writer), and the publisher of the work (for example, The New York Times)". The main hub of the entry has been verified with the proper licensing; I see nothing that "might damage the reputation of living people" (in this case, Mr. Chadbourne) and most of the sources listed are third party, including commercial online media sources such as Soundclick, the MyTV network, LastFM, Sizzle Radio) etc. One must consider that independent artists often use alternative media and will not grant license to mainstream media - whether it is hard copy or internet sourced precisely to remain "alternative and independent". That should not disqualify any article for inclusion simply because a google search doesn't produce immediate results. The article could use some up-dating, but is not in my opinion, irrelevant or insignificant. I noticed that Mr Chadbourne has a best selling single and album on Soundclick just doing a quick search on the site's main page which includes world wide sales. There is an independent article on Soundclick which demonstrates that this is a valid source for information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pete McGinty (talk • contribs) 08:01, 1 May 2011 (UTC) — Pete McGinty (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Comment: If "a considerable amount" of verifiable information is available in reliable sources such as those, why not add them to the article? Furthermore, although self-published sources can be used to verify information, they cannot be used to establish notability. I'm glad they exist to verify, but what is there to show that Mark Chadbourne is notable? You've added three links to the article: one self-published, one written by a friend of his, and one potentially reliable and independent source. However, the reliable source shows chart listings for the song on what appears to be a relatively small TV station. Having #1 songs on that chart alone does not meet the criteria at WP:MUSIC. – GorillaWarfare ^{talk • contribs} 15:47, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability. Claims for notability in the article are problematic. For example, chart claims appear to be based on Soundclick which isn't a recognized chart. And other claims like "His fixed harpsichord sonata "Area Sets" was lauded as a breakthrough composition by critics around the country." cannot be verfied as I cannot find any actual critical reception for it. -- Whpq (talk) 14:25, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, no merge, no redirect ~~Nominator has a burden that is not met to show that the claims that this is not notable are not caused by poor research.~~ Is there a newspaper on Tuvalu? Does it really not talk about what a reliable source says is the most popular sport in the nation? This site reliably states that there are nine teams in a Premier league in a country of 12,000 for whom gaining recognition in soccer comes 2nd after joining the United Nations. WP:N states, "If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate." There is no requirement that individual items on a list be notable, although it may be that as a content issue some of the teams on this list can be removed.–again, this needs research, not an AfD nomination. Nominator might also look at this Russian to English translation. It is clear based on a Google search that there is interest worldwide in Tuvalu soccer and individual teams there. As per Category:Lists of association football clubs, merging or redirecting to another article disorganizes/disrupts the encyclopedia without a purpose (Wikipedia is paperless) by creating holes in a logical structure.

Merge to Football in Tuvalu, with no prejudice against recreating the list when the main article becomes too long. I can understand Unscintillating's point about "creating holes in a logical structure", but I think that the issue is moderated by the fact that List of football clubs in Tuvalu will continue to exist as a redirect (thus, editors who search for the list will be taken to the appropriate page). More importantly, for me, merging this short list devoid of almost any supplemental content into the sub-stub that is Football in Tuvalu would consolidate and better organize Wikipedia's limited content about the topic of association football in Tuvalu. -- Black Falcon ^(talk) 18:48, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to point out that no other guidelines in WP: MUSIC have even come close to being met. That is the only one. I'd also like to point out that WP:GNG states that "The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity." The articles in The Guardian and The Times were the result of a short term PR push by a record company. I also think it could be argued that one mention in two British national newspapers isn't "significant independent coverage." The entry in the Guardian's "new band of the day" section is particularly irrelevant, hundreds of bands have been covered in that section and few of them have wikipedia articles. PandP2go (talk) 18:52, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You only need to meet one of the listed criteria. The two articles mentioned were from May 2009 and Mar 2010 so that was not especially short-term interest. If you want more, try this in-depth interview in The Scottish Herald, or search the BBC to see they have been and still are being played extensively and regularly across the network.

Keep. Hmm...it seems something of a coincidence that the (original) nominator is 'PandP2go' and their only edits are this attempt to delete this article (on 'PandP'). Lack of commercial success is irrelevent, as is the claimed size of their fanbase. Most of the cited coverage spans several months, and in addition to those already in the article there's The List ([4] [5]), The Herald ([6], [7]), MusicNews.com ([8]), Daily Record ([9], [10], [11], [12]), Evening Times ([13]), Daily Star ([14]), and this from The Scottish Sun stating that the band won the 'Best New Scottish Band or Solo Artist' award at the Scottish Variety Awards in 2010.

Like you'd expect an article written by PR pros to be, it is superficially "referenced" to one line quotations from business personnel on unrelated subjects. None of those stories have this business as even a minor subject, though. Obvious snow jobs like this would appear to indicate clearly that the editors had one eye out on Wikipedia notability guidelines when putting together the article. Because they aren't really notable, they had to find one line quotes from business personnel in real sources. It seems safe to assume that's the best they can do. But when the article is as blatantly promotional and obviously slanted as this one is, notability isn't even an issue.

Comment. I don't get a lot of Google Scholar hits for the subject (with very few citations each), although I don't want to claim great accuracy in my GS search, since the name "Scholze" is very common. In light of the difficulty in sifting through the results, I refined the search to the past six years (and given that the subject's area is the Langland's program and Shimura varieties, I searched for related terms). A typical result was this search [19]. I was only able to turn up three papers, only one of which seems to have any citations. MathSciNet doesn't list any publications of the subject (he does have an MR number though: 890936). It seems to me that, although the Clay Institute seems to feel that the subject shows promise as a potential young researcher, he does not yet have enough of a research record to meet the requirements set forth at WP:PROF. Sławomir Biały (talk) 19:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, only a PhD student, not even close to passing WP:PROF, no published papers, only three preprints and only a few citations . Student level awards and fellowships are explicitly excluded in WP:PROF from indicating academic notability. The Clay fellowships are meant to support finishing graduate students, based on the promise of future accomplishments, not on being notable already. Nsk92 (talk) 01:49, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a reminder for those not in the know, "Medals are awarded to the highest ranked participants, such that slightly less than half of them receive a medal. Subsequently the cutoffs (minimum score required to receive a gold, silver or bronze medal) are chosen such that the ratio of medals awarded approximates 1:2:3." Gold winner doesn't mean the top dog (in IMO or IOI). Tijfo098 (talk) 02:57, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I added a source but I don't think it's enough for WP:GNG (the only relevant criterion since WP:PROF seems far out of reach), and I couldn't find much more. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I guess I think that the Clay Research Fellowship is a significant award by a notable foundation. Also, as someone in the subject, I can say that his work is quite well-regarded (though still in the publishing process, which is usually a couple years behind the times) and that he is presumably graduating some time soon. If anything, it is a bit soon to confirm under wikipedia regulations that the article should exist because his results are so recent that searching for citations is a bit premature. Also, note that he has been on the Wikipedia:Requested articles/Mathematics since April 2008 [20]. RobHar (talk) 07:01, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You are actually making a "delete" argument: the fact that his results are too new to have been cited (or even published) is exactly what makes him non-notable under Wikipedia notability standards and the creation of a WP article about him rather premature. When there is significant published coverage of his work, then there will be something to talk about. As it is, he is a PhD student with no publications and no citability of his work - the very opposite of what WP:ACADEMIC requires. Regarding Clay fellowship: it is a fellowship for beginning scientists, showing great promise but who have not yet become notable academics. The fellowship's official description states[21]: "The primary selection criteria for the Fellowship are the exceptional quality of the candidate's research and the candidate's promise to become a mathematical leader. Most recent appointees were finishing graduate students at the time of their selection, though other mathematicians under age thirty occasionally have been appointed." By contrast, academic notability as defined in WP:PROF requires evidence that someone has already made significant impact in a his/her academic field and has become a leader there. Nsk92 (talk) 22:46, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I realize that my "If anything" clause is a delete argument. My keep argument is stated in the first sentence of my comment. WP:PROF does not require someone to have already made significant impact (as far as I understand it), it requires any one of 9 criteria, of which I am saying I believe the Clay Research Fellowship satisfies number 2. Also, being that the Clay Research Fellowship is one person chosen in the entire world, every fellow has indeed made significant contributions already (which may not be verifiable via citations in papers, but can be verified by the reception of the Fellowship). This is just my argument, so I could be wrong. RobHar (talk) 23:56, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: I guess I also think it's a bit silly to delete a well-sourced article of someone who is very likely to be manifestly deserving of his own article sometime soon. This may not be in a guideline, but it's how I feel. RobHar (talk) 23:58, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Roebuck seems to have spent plenty of energy creating and maintaining this page, and the expectation that the page cite WP:RS to show that his works have "been the subject...of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" has been pointed out for plenty of time. Yet there has still been no convincing effort to bring those articles or reviews.

Wareh (talk) 18:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article seems to be not much more than a recitation of awards that the subject didn't win (but claims he was a "finalist" for). Article claims he is a writer, but he seems to be a high-school teacher at Elgin Academy. Moreover, I can't actually find anything he's written. For example, WorldCat does not seem to be aware of 'Ovid's Heroides with Notes and Vocabulary' (so that's probably "self published") and WoS shows no scholarly contributions. Article was created by now-blocked-WP:SPA Uofcboi and has been heavily serviced by WP:SPA Ltroebuck and several anons like this one, all of which Geolocate shows to be in the same locality as Roebuck. Consequently, it's likely that this is little more than a vanity or fan page. Uncontroversial delete. Thx, Agricola44 (talk) 15:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Delete: When I came upon this article, I was unsure if Mr. Roebuck was notable enough so I decided to completely research his career before I made up my mind. I have therefore sourced all the information I could find, deleted all unsourced assertions and adjusted any claims according to sources found (per WP:BLP). Even after all that research and adding six references, I am adding my comment for deletion. In my opinion Mr. Roebuck does not fulfill the Notability parameters of WP:AUTHOR. One reason is that at least one of his works of fiction, The Crab, has been submitted multiple times to various contests:

1) Finalist in the 2007 H.E. Francis Award (University of Alabama/Huntsville),

2) Winning the 2010 James Knudsen Contest(University of New Orleans) and

3) Finalist in the William Van Dyke Short Story Prize (Ruminate Magazine).

I would like to add, however, that his version of Ovid's Heroides I is still being sold by the Classical Association of New England. Shearonink (talk) 23:10, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, when I saw you adding references (thanks for the further research!) I figured perhaps you were going to argue to keep. But indeed, these are web pages that name him, no more - there is no actual discussion of him, so with all these web links we have still not found him the "subject of" (WP:AUTHOR) even one review in an unreliable source, not to mention the multiple reliable articles needed. P.S. On the status of CANE publications, see what I say at Talk:Lyle Roebuck; I am familiar with these publications (use them myself but would not confuse such student-aid pamphlets for an ordinary scholarly publication).

Final (Php)[edit]

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

Besides the fact that it's a bad title (should be "final (PHP)")I don't think that the final keyword has enough relevance for its own article. We don't have articles about other visibility keywords like "public", "protected" or "private", and furthermore, if at all, the article should include all finals of other programming languages, too, because they don't differ. However, there are more than enough articles, e.g. Class (computer programming), Information hiding or Inheritance (object-oriented programming) (and probably more that I missed), which may deal with this topic in a way that's more than satisfying for interested readers. The Evil IP address (talk) 09:46, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and merge into Inheritance (object-oriented programming). If we have to have an article on final, which I think is unnecessary, it needs to be broader in scope. PHP's implementation is nothing special. – anna 10:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I disagree with the nom in that I think we could justify articles on language keywords, and certainly Other Stuff Doesn't Exist would apply - the fact we haven't yet written articles that ought to be there means little. That said though, I'd delete this one. final can perhaps be justified, and it can justify a narrower and more specific article than Inheritance (object-oriented programming) (that's an enormously broad topic). However PHP's particular flavour of final doesn't appear to be anything specific or notable beyond the general concept. Any article on PHP's final alone would either have no content beyond a hatnote, or it would fail WP:NOTAGUIDE. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:50, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I seriously doubt there's enough scope to have language-agnostic articles on keywords like public, private, etc, let alone one article for every standard uninteresting implementation of each keyword (which is what this is). These should be covered in the OO articles -- most of them, I suspect, would rate note more than a sentence or two's mention. bou·le·var·dier (talk) 14:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The criteria for WP:NTENNIS was the subject of discussion here which is further modified as a result.

Delete - I agree with Lankiveil that this is a case to ignore all rules. WP:NTENNIS is a guideline by which we use to gauge notability and should be used with discretion and consideration of the circumstances. Somebody qualified into the main draw either through ranking or winning their way in through the qualifiers has exhibited notability.

Redirect to West Hollywood. First off, the article is factually incorrect. Los Angeles, California is in fact a separate city from West Hollywood, California, unlike the opening of the article states. The history of the now-iconic gay neighborhood of West Hollywood is synonymous with the history of this article subject. It's basically the same topic.

The result was no consensus to delete. Though partially derailed by justifiable objections to the mass nomination, it does appear that this particular article is better-sourced than some. Taken on its own merits (rather than en masse with other Playmate articles) there's a vague consensus that this is sufficiently sourceable to conform with policies - although further efforts to merge or redirect it are not excluded. ~ mazca ^talk 12:18, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability guideline. Damiens.rf 03:42, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way.

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability guideline. Damiens.rf 03:40, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Modeling + TV appearances + Google news hits, seems to be notable. Monty ₈₄₅ 04:13, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- The MSNBC article is an sports article about a notable athlete's with the girls. She is mentioned on passage The article is not about her. Thatś inherited notability. About NYT, I don't have a password so I can't judge. --Damiens.rf 05:42, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1977. not quite sure about the NA relist but the consensus is pretty clear - the opposition to deletion based on BEFORE overlooks the fact that contributors have confirmed a fruitless search for sources and a specific ntoability guide is cited in the nom and not refuted. Therefore the article does not pass the GNG and gets deleted. I am also redirecting as this is clearly a plausible search term. Spartaz ^Humbug! 16:23, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability guideline. Damiens.rf 03:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article as it stands is inadequate, and her modeling alone, almost entirely Playboy-related, surely wouldn't support an independent article. But she was a prominent enough figure in the comics industry about twenty years ago, merchandising herself through comics written/drawn by very notable industry figures [42], selling trading cards [43], and working as a recognizable model for various notable illustrators [44][45]. I think there's enough out there to justify an independent article, admitting that the sourcing needs improvement (and probably print searching). Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that plain simple self promotion? Is there coverage / critical analysis about these merchandising she created about herself? --Damiens.rf 20:47, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking.

- The first is an article about playmates attending Playboy's founder birthday party. The second is about how one of Playboy Racing Team's sponsors had four playmates at its booth on a trade show. The third is a Spanish three paragraphs article about how hot she is. Nothing of this is unexpected or outstanding, and happens for any girl that strips to Playboy. This is the kind of playmatehood coverage I predicted on the nomination. --Damiens.rf 05:53, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I have to agree with Damiens' analysis of the cited articles. Two of them are just mentions in laundry lists, with no significant biographical content, or other relevant content beyond the well-established and generic point that she was Miss ------ 2004. The third is not coverage at all, but a bit of promotional fluff on an aggregation page with a large glamour photo and negligible factual content.

Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Should sufficient sourcing and claim of notability later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates.

KEEP Due to the high standards of Playboy, those chosen as "Playmates" become famous. Those chosen as "Playmates of the Year" become Very Famous, a fame that lasts for a very long time thus "quite" notable. Similar to beauty pageants, winners are chosen because they have many other qualities in addition to beauty, particularly their ability to positively represent whoever chose them. A "Playmate of the Year" has a big responsibility to represent one of the most famous Brands in the World - "Playboy." To decide that a "Playmate of the Year" is not notable enough to be in Wikipedia is inexcusable. The explanation of the nominator is seriously flawed. He states that "Playmates of the Year" should be deleted because their position/title/recognition is not called an "Award." Well, an Award by any other name is still an Award, whether it's called a Crown, Laurel, Honor, Trophy, Medal, Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Pennant, or a Miss, it’s all the same thing – Recognition for something outstanding from everyone else. This passes both criteria 1 & 2 of WP:ANYBIO. The nominator’s statement that the choosing and recognizing of the best Playmate of the year is a strategic commercial decision to better commercialize its products is ridiculous if not laughable. In the United States, almost everything is the result of a commercial decision to, hopefully, better commericialize their products. Fed Ex, Coca-Cola, McDonald's - those names and products are all the result of "strategic commercial decisions" made to better commercialize it products - does that mean they should be deleted also?

Candy Loving[edit]

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability guideline. Damiens.rf 03:06, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep short answer: yeah it does. Long answer: The subject has received additional coverage besides the one issue. Google News turns up a nice result.--Paul McDonald (talk) 05:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- When I search for her on gnews I got a lot of articles about Halloween and its "candy-loving monsters". Can you find good coverage about the girl?
- Your short answer did not survive wide community inquiry. --Damiens.rf 05:58, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Okay 1 "Playboy Picks Candy Loving", Herald-Journal - May 4, 1979; 2 "Centerfold Full of Loving" Gadsden Times - Dec 5, 1978; 3 "To Help a Marriage, Pose for a Playboy Centerfold" Times Daily - Jan 2, 1979; 4 "Playboy's 25th Anniversary" The Nevada Daily Mail - May 6, 1979; 5 "Playmate Beats Miss America in Bucks" The Bulletin - May 9, 1980; 6 Rabbit Test: 50 Attend Playboy Audition" The Miami News - Apr 27, 1983. That should do for a start.--Paul McDonald (talk) 12:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Isn't that the usual playmatehood coverage? --Damiens.rf 15:54, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - So what? even if it is, it still is enough to surpass WP:GNG.--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:03, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        So what it's trivial coverage. --Damiens.rf 16:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I disagree. The coverage is not trivial but is comprehensive and quite widespread.--Paul McDonald (talk) 05:09, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Nonetheless it's trivial because it's still texts about how cute she is, how nice it is to be a playmate... the usual playmatehood text that would be written for any person in her position. --Damiens.rf 09:22, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Incorrect Articles 3 and 5 provide much more detail than that and most certainly is not "the usual playmatehood text" as you say. Your comments are putting more weight on the argument than the facts show.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Article 3 is definitively the usual playmatehood text and 5 mentions her tangentially. --Damiens.rf 16:53, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        WP:WABBITSEASON we disagree.--Paul McDonald (talk) 19:34, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1979. Does not appear to be enough nontrivial reliably sourced content to justify an independent article. This has been the outcome of most recent AFD discussions for less prominent Playmates as well the way most recently named Playmates have been handled. None of the cited coverage is outside the context of her Playmate designation, and much of it amounts to trivial or passing mentions. Not exactly BLP1E, but similar principles should apply unless more durable coverage can be specified. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:02, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Should sufficient sourcing and claim of notability later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates. Redirecting to non-notable lists only makes work for Admins who will have to delete these redirects later. Also, significantly, this is an inadequately-sourced BLP in a controversial area.

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities.

- Comment I agree. WP:CFB encountered something called the West incident a few years back when an enthusiastic deletionist was able to delete one head coach article and that snowballed into massive nominations, many of which were deleted and now have been 100% restored. Mass deletions are quite disruptive. If the article is truly not notable, that's one thing--but when it would lead to a bunch of deletions and then restorations once people catch up to what's happening, that's a problem.--Paul McDonald (talk) 15:54, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

fails WP:MUSICBIO. I'm not convinced by last AfD. gnews [49] merely confirms her role in bands, but lacking indepth coverage of her as an individual. only the SMH article may be considered indepth. she has won no major awards (or been nominated), none of her albums have charted highly and simply being a member of notable bands is in itself does not add notability for an individual article. LibStar (talk) 03:04, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article does appear to meet criteria 6 of WP:Music, in that she is/has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles (being Sea Scouts, Love of Diagrams & Baseball). The criteria clearly states that a musician may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria, which it appears it does. Dan arndt (talk) 05:41, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

yes you are right. but I think Sea Scouts has questionable notability and have nominated it. I guess this AfD will hinge on that AfD. LibStar (talk) 06:07, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As previously argued this could be taken as evidence that AfD is being used as cleanup, not something that I am particularly keen on. Whilst you may have nominated Sea Scouts for AfD, Fikerle is/was a member of two other notable bands.Dan arndt (talk) 08:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being the first Playboy playmate with pubic hair is not an achievement.

- The books I see are list where she's one of the entries. Casts lists, adult model lists, and some books entirely about playboy. Will we find some non-trivial mention? --Damiens.rf 04:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - [50] seems to be going in to some depth on here, which was the one I focused on, but the excerpt is too short to really tell how far it goes in covering her. But a number of the references appear to be more then mere lists, some aren't even principally about playboy. Monty ₈₄₅ 04:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. I think that her film credits, though probably not sufficient to meet WP:ENT standing alone, plus the (un)coverage she received for "mainstreaming" what had previously been thought of as hard-core pornographic, justify an independent article. The sourcing for the latter has been so far grossly inadequate, falling well below BLP standards, but I believe it can be turned up (as indicated by the book source cited by Monty845). And interim redirect to the Playmate lisr would be OK, but not preferred. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 16:22, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly a weak keep. Obviously, most of the coverage mentions her Playboy modeling, but not all of it is directly derived from that. In addition to her modeling for the magazine, a planned event to have her throw the first pitch in an Akron Aeros game caused a fan outcry[51][52] that garnered some media coverage. In 2001, she joined[53] The Price is Right, where she was one of the permanent models for about a year. She was the 2002 St. Pauli Girl [54][55]. And quite a few words have been spent on her relationships with Cade McNown and Tim Couch (although those references would only provide citations for a "personal life" section, rather than have a bearing on notabiity). I think there's enough there to just barely sneak across the line, but could probably argue this one either way. Serpent's Choice (talk)
Keep, borderline weak keep. While her credits aren't enough to meet WP:ENT, there seems to be enough non_playmate coverage, given her film and TV work and her celebrity marriage, to justify an independent article, although barely so.

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability guideline. Damiens.rf 02:48, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1993. Does not appear to be enough nontrivial reliably sourced content to justify an independent article. This has been the outcome of most recent AFD discussions for less prominent Playmates as well the way most recently named Playmates have been handled. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:17, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Should sufficient sourcing and claim of notability later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates. Redirecting to non-notable lists only makes work for Admins who will have to delete these redirects later. Also, significantly, this is an inadequately-sourced BLP in a controversial area.

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way. This argument will be copied-and-pasted in the debate sections for all automated AfDs of this campaign. Carrite (talk) 13:57, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the Albuquerque and Austin paper coverage cited in the article. I looked bypassed the paywall using infotrac. Playmatehood coverage is not disqualified from the GNG. Importance of the content is not the same as depth of coverage when designating trivial under that basis. Morbidthoughts (talk) 03:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep In this particular case, the articles in the Austin American-Statesman and, perhaps to a lesser extent, the Albuquerque Tribune appear to amount to significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Together with her appearances in Playboy, notability seems has been established. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 10:11, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Isn't this just local paper doing the usual trivia? --Damiens.rf 10:40, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I suppose they're just human-interest pieces, but when combined with the Playboy appearances and any interview subsequent to her modeling career (e.g. this), I think notability is established, if only barely. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 11:05, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Upon further reflection, I've struck my previous comments. The sources here are better than those in most of the other Playmate AfDs, but I'm not convinced that they're enough to satisfy WP:BIO. I won't lose any sleep if this article is kept – since becoming a Playmate, Johnson can no longer be described as a low-profile individual – but I think I'd prefer a redirect as described by Hullaballoo Wolfowitz.

Keep USA Today and the New York Post mention her for her illness. Others cover her as the leader of one of Playboy's sports team. All but one of the Google news results is hidden behind a paywall, so I can't read the entire articles, but the titles and summaries that appear in the search seem to indicate she is notable. Dream Focus 09:00, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: mention of an illness and leadership of a Playboy sports team is not just trivial coverage, it is vapidly trivial coverage.

- All the article says about her is that (1) She took her cloths off for Playboy in many occasions; (2) She was a Barker's Beauty on The Price Is Right and (3) She iswas married to a notable drummer. I disagree this qualifies her under the notabiltiy guideline. --Damiens.rf 03:48, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

    Well, if being one of The Price is Right models gives you notability, then you would have a point. But isn't this too small of a role?
    
    I fully agree with you in that the notability guidelines require coverage by multiple independent and reliable sources. But does she had that?

Keep & rewrite on the basis of the talk p. mentioned. The most impt authority for the period, Orderic Vitalis, is the source, and there seems to be no academic source refuting him, only the unsourced statement of a popular writer who gives a different birth order. DGG ( talk ) 07:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:31, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - there is no need to have a separate listing for the controversy about whether he existed or not. His likely non-existence should be covered at Robert Curthose's page, which is sufficient coverage. And Orderic isn't the most important source for the period, just one of several, and the only one that mentions him. David's biography of Curthose does not mention him, and in fact clearly states that Sibyl only had once child (and sources this to Orderic and Wace) so while David is somewhat older, he's pretty much the only biographer besides Lack. Thompson's biography in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (here but needs UK library access or subscription) doesn't mention a son Henry, although she does mention illegitimate sons Richard and William as well as one attested illegitimate daughter and one possible illegitimate daughter. (The statements there about children from Sibyl are "Then in Lent 1103 Duchess Sibyl died, probably as a result of poor nursing after the birth of her son, William Clito, on 25 October 1102." The only other statement there about other children is "Robert's two illegitimate sons Richard and William met early deaths, Richard in the New Forest in 1100, and William in the Holy Land in the 1110s. Nothing is known of his daughter, the wife of Elias de St Saëns. Robert probably had a second illegitimate daughter, since Henry I made provision for his niece Sibyl of Falaise."). The proper place any mention of him is in Robert's article, along with the note that modern historians have not found the evidence of his existence convincing. I've also acquired Weir's book since the previous talk page, and she does not give any sources whatsover for her statements - and if Lack is disqualified by being a popular writer, then Weir should likewise, as she is also a popular writer. Ealdgyth - Talk 14:03, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A further bit. David, does specifically impeach Orderic, as he states "Soon after the birth of her [Sibyl] only child, William Clito, she died at Rouen, and was buried..." (Charles David Robert Curthose Harvard University Press 1920 p. 146) Ealdgyth - Talk 14:07, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Given the bit below from Oderic, I now think the best thing is to delete this article, redirect the title to Robert's article, and insert a footnote stating that Weir's named this person, but does not give a source, and the other sources do not agree there was such a person, thus covering us against recreation. Thanks for finding that Deacon, Im' still trying to find my copy of Orderic that's somewhere in a box... somewhere. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through Aird on gbooks, Sibyl and Robert had one son, and Robert had two known bastards. Alison Weir is not a reliable source. Maybe she made a mistake, or is confused. I seriously doubt she was conducting original research on the matter. Definite delete. If a reliable source comes up mentioning Henry, then we can recreate the article. I'll try to check out the OV reference in fmg.ac, but that isn't a reliable source either. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 14:42, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Ealdgyth. If the only thing known is that he might, or might not, have existed, then a separate article is not justified. Johnbod (talk) 16:44, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I suspected fmg.ac does not give an accurate account of Orderic Vitalis. Contrary to fmg.ac's assertion, Orderic does name the son born to Sibylla and Robert the year after their marriage:

In September Duke Robert arrived in Normandy and, after being received by his people, went with his wife Sibyl to Mont Saint-Michel in peril of the sea. There he gave thanks to God for his safe return from his long pilgrimage, and afterwards consummated his marriage with the daughter of Geoffrey of Conversano. Next year she bore him a son, and Archbishop William baptized the child, giving him his own name. Duke Robert recovered his duchy without opposition, and held it for about eight years in name only ... (OV, X.17)

Delete or maybe Merge, but definitely not Keep. Judging the evidence independently, this looks like nothing but a mistake, someone who never existed. It looks to me like someone has accidentally created a new child by combining a confused and ambiguous reference to the birth of Clito with a similar reference to the death of illegitimate son Richard. That being siad, even if such a child of Curthose did exist, he would abysmally fail WP:NOTABILITY, receiving no reliable coverage in the depth necessary to qualify. Looking at the existing page, there is nothing of value that one would want to Merge, and any comment on Curthose's page should be limited to a footnote, and contain text of an entirely different nature. Finally, the name Henry of Normandy probably shouldn't redirect to Curthose anyhow, as the name would be much more commonly used to refer to Henry II of England prior to succession, so I don't see there being any benefit to a merge. I go with the original nomination and with Ealdgyth's revised opinion (delete and add footnote to Curthose) - it would be best to simply uncreate the page. Agricolae (talk) 15:42, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Surely it'd be Henry I rather than Henry II? Henry's agnatic line--his dynasty--is usually styled "Of Normandy", whereas Henry II's is "Of Anjou". Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Surely not. Henry I of England later became Duke of Normandy. Henry II of Normandy later became King of England. Agricolae (talk) 02:30, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You've misunderstood. Henry I's male ancestors were a family called "of Normandy" (William the Conqueror, etc); Henry II's were called "of Anjou". Henry I is hence "Henry of Normandy", Henry II "Henry of Anjou". Whether or not one was Duke of Normandy before being King of England isn't of much comparative relevance. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 02:37, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, I haven't misunderstood. I just don't agree that patrilineal ancestry is the sole, or even best, standard for naming people. Whether one was from Normandy is absolutely relevant, even if one's father came from elsewhere. This reflects actual usage of long standing: Henry II is commonly called Henry of Normandy prior to his succession - search Google Scholar or Google Books for "Henry of Normandy" and the matches are mostly to the future Henry II, not Henry I. I think, though, we are in agreement that Henry of Normandy most certainly should not redirect to Robert Curthose? Agricolae (talk) 02:51, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree much of this, but I never said patrilineal ancestry is the sole, or even best, standard for naming people. I will add, though, that "Henry of Normandy" for Henry II might come across as simply factually incorrect on the basis of 12th-century French naming practices. Usually I'd be more interested in what is perceived by experts to be factually correct than what the out-of-date and trashy books on gbooks say. That's just me though ... Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 11:27, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For all the calling of those Google matches out-of-date and trashy and factually incorrect, you are bringing nothing to the table but personal opinion. However you characterize the Google Books matches (and, oddly, ignore the Google Scholar matches) where are your corresponding scholarly references to Henry I being "of Normandy" in preference to Henry II? You may not have said that patronymic ancestry is the best criterion, but you seem to be taking it for granted at the expense of actual past usage. In discussions of the reign of Stephen and the marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, references to 'Henry of Normandy, later Henry II of England' are all over the place. At the time of his marriage and at the time of his success in the war with Stephen, Henry was 'of Normandy'. He has been called this repeatedly and I don't see why we should ignore it just because Henry II's father came from Anjou and Henry I's father came from Normandy. This as all a distraction, though, from the question of whether the current Henry of Normandy page should exist or be merged or deleted. We can always make Henry of Normandy a disambiguation page. We don't want to have a pointless merge simply because we can't agree to which Henry it should really redirect. Agricolae (talk) 13:19, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I find this really puzzling. You have spend some time making an argument to me in which I have no interest in. I merely pointed out that Henry I is the one with "of Normandy" as a kindred name. This is just a fact. If Henry II is also called "Henry of Normandy" in some modern texts ... great. Congratulations to him. As you realise in those texts Henry I is already dead so it's not a means of disambiguating H II from H I, though were it ever used as such anyone who knows much about the period would guess it referred to H I (my point). Incidentally, usually when I say references are out of date or trashy, they are. I regard my own personal opinion as having weight, as I'm sure others do ... but it's up to each individual I guess. Absolutely sick of being told on these threads to respect printed works because they got published in whatever century by whatever amateur enthusiast and are now visible to the undiscerning masses on gbooks. Irrelevant! A work has authority if and only if it is reliable, not because it merely exists! Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 15:55, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You may have no interest in the argument, yet you keep arguing - puzzle that for a while. You have pointed out that based on your own criteria, "surely" Henry of Normandy should refer to Henry I rather than Henry II. I have pointed you to hundreds of occurrences where Henry II is called Henry of Normandy. I too know a scholarly contemporary source when I see one. I too would have thought that anyone who knows anything of the period would hold my view, an opinion which I too think has weight ... but which also has all of those inconvenient citations to back it up, from scholars like Crouch, Keats-Rohan, Barrow, Freeman, King, Painter, Archer ... amateur enthusiasts and hacks all, I'm sure. But you just dismiss these all out of hand in favor of your personal preference, in part because Henry I was dead already (as you so succinctly say, Irrelevant!) but mainly just because. Obviously we are not going to agree here on who "Henry of Normandy" 'should' refer to. We are also not going to agree on the status of "of Normandy" as a so-called "kindred name" of scholarly standing. A disambiguation page would seem to be in order. Agricolae (talk) 18:35, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all the hits on you're referring to on gbooks are for Duke 'Henry of Normandy' and such like anyway, and those don't support what you are saying. But point taken, no more 'arguing'. Should be a dab page. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 20:34, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 02:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1980. Does not appear to be enough nontrivial reliably sourced content to justify an independent article.

Redirect as per Hullaballoo Hasteur (talk) 15:50, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Other projects can cover this material, Wikipedia consensus has determined that Wikipedia is not that project. Should sourcing and claim of notability sufficient for Wikipedia later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates. Redirecting to non-notable lists only makes work for Admins who will have to delete these redirects later. Also, significantly, this is an inadequately-sourced BLP in a controversial area.

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns.

        I'm only asking you to backup your assertions. Plenty of gnews hits is not the same as plenty of coverage. At least the kind of coverage that is relevant to our policies on notability. It would be easier for you to provide concrete links to some of this coverage than to argue and try to guess what I think and what I don't think here.

        trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability. (...) Non-triviality is a measure of the depth of content of a published work
        — Wikipedia, Basic criteria, WP:BASIC
        
        This follow right after the passage you quoted, but you removed it, loosing context. --Damiens.rf 20:26, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way.

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 02:11, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At first, I was also of this impression. She appears in at least one somewhat popular movie of the time, Michael J. Fox's Teen Wolf. But it came out that was just one of those small imperceptible roles. She is listed as an actress on 14 titles on imdb, and her role is all of them is minor (with the likely exception of playboy direct-to-videos like R.S.V.P. and Shape-Up for Sensational Sex). in the movies pages I followed, you can only find her name by clicking full credits.

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way.

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 01:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not a Playmate, but a Playboy model and a Playmate's sister. Between her Playboy work, her low-grade movie career, and her reality TV appearances, I think the GNG is met, even if it is met is a Kardashian-oid way. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 03:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Playing a minor appearance in a notable major motion picture does not make you notable. And what Hullaballoo calls her movie career is just minor roles on 4 movies (Johnny Mnemonic being apparently the only notable title) and 3 appearances on 3 distinct tv series episodes, one of them playing the character Girl #2. Does this makes for notability? --Damiens.rf 12:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 01:29, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Expenditure incidence[edit]

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

Article that gives no indication as to what it is trying to convey, has no context. Mtking (talk) 01:28, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The name is jargon, and not very common either. The sole reference is to a non-notable World Bank publication which is also very light on explanation and very heavy on jargon. Dingo1729 (talk) 02:36, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On second thoughts, Redirect to Fiscal incidence. Philosophically, Colonel Warden (below) is actually correct in the sense that the concept is interesting and notable. The problem with this article is that the title is bad and the content doesn't say much. Which doesn't leave anything worth merging. It would be better to develop the Fiscal incidence article. I would actually like a better title for that but I can't think of a short enough one. Dingo1729 (talk) 02:46, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: no evidence of substantive coverage, no sources in article, just a small amount of incomprehensible jargon.

WP:NOT#DICTIONARY states "If possible, articles that contain nothing more than a definition should be expanded with additional encyclopedic content.". Please explain how this is an argument for deletion.

Comment I have expanded the article from the source provided and some of the other similar sources. The above objections are now all obsolete. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:38, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still believe that this should be re-directed to Fiscal incidence which includes Expenditure incidence as one of its three sub-topics. It would be better to develop this subject there and only split it out if and when that article becomes unwieldy. I really don't see why this has to be a separate article when Expenditure incidence, Taxation incidence and Benefits incidence are so intertwined in the literature. Dingo1729 (talk) 23:37, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: the recent additions appear to be a small and scattershot collection of loosely connected factoids (WP:INDISCRIMINATE?), the largest of which appears to be more than a little WP:HOWTO. It does not amount to a coherent exposition of the subject (even at a stub level), which may, as Dingo1729 suggests, be better explained as part of Fiscal incidence.

Considering that was from less than a month ago and I'm not the best at finding references, I think it would be safe to assume there are more references out there.

Comment Isn't this just a variation on the general term "(s)he dropped a clanger"? (which I get 226,000 ghits for) Unless there's a very specific reference within Aussie rules (as, say, in Error (baseball)) then I'd lean towards delete. Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:38, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it is a specific type of statistic recorded by Champion Data (the leading company for statistics recording in AFL). Jenks24 (talk) 01:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - OK, so I'd expect to see it in use somewhere - somewhere where's it's being cited for example. So, maybe, here? Which it isn't - and Champion seem to be a fantasy football stats provider, yes? So I can see how it might be used in that, although I know nothing about the notability of AFL fantasy leagues. Sorry, it might be notable but at the minute I can't see anything that makes it so. I'm very happy to change my mind once that notability's shown, but until then I'm still at delete, OK? Blue Square Thing (talk) 10:50, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. Although Champion Data do provide the stats for fantasy leagues, they are also the official statisticians of the AFL and all AFL clubs. I will quote verbatim from the reference I added to the article
      The terminology sold the technology. Reams of data weren't enough - Hopkins needed a new vernacular for his new stats, and the names he came up with ("Hard ball gets", "The Clanger", etc) quickly became part of the football lexicon. Eddie McGuire began using the new language on The Footy Show, and by 1997 every club was paying for weekly statistical reports, if only for $5000 a season. (These days, a full suite of products can cost almost $100,000 a season.) In 1998, the company won an AFL licence to deliver statistics, a deal driven by the creation of AFL.com.au and which allowed them to expand.
      Whether this is what you were looking for in terms of proof of notability is up to you. Jenks24 (talk) 11:05, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - OK, "part of the football lexicon". Where? Show me that and I'm perfectly happy. Until then it's verging on the something someone made up I'm afraid. Blue Square Thing (talk) 11:14, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I agree with Red Prolate Spheroid Thing, and I stand by my initial WP:DICDEF rationale. But now, every time I tune into the radio to listen to a game, or pick up a copy of The Big Paper (Melbourne) or The Little Paper (Melbourne) this use of "clanger" seems to be ubiquitous, as if just to mock me. Aaaarrgh! --Shirt58 (talk) 11:23, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Yes, it has definitely entered the football lexicon. Just did a google news search for the term "clanger + AFL" (see [79]) and got hits such as "Sydney had 24 clangers by foot" (ref), " "Through the game we've ended up with 80 ineffective or clanger kicks, which is just way too high," Ratten said." (ref), "Eight of his 15 kicks were either ineffective or of the clanger variety" (ref), "produced a quarter that amounted to just two combined goals and 15 clangers" (ref), "Gilbert found a game-high seven clangers to take his season tally to 21" (ref) and "of the 700 disposals, 200 were ineffective or clangers" (ref). All of those refs are newspaper articles from major Australian cities (eg Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide). Jenks24 (talk) 11:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        They're perfect then! The only question is whether it falls into the dictionary category. I'd imagine that there's mileage though. Blue Square Thing (talk) 13:19, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Reading through the WP:NOTDIC policy, I'm not really convinced that we're barred from having articles on sports terminology; indeed, we have a great many articles on other things of this sort. This term is heavily used in coverage of Australian rules football, and explaining its meaning can lead to expansion into a full encyclopedia article. As a result, I really don't see any major problems with retaining this article. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 01:57, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Here's some significant coverage in All Things Pakistan, which seems to be pretty reliable, this almanac lists the subject as one of a handful of well-known Pakistani folk singers and this local newspaper thousands of miles from Pakistan describes him as an internationally-known musician. I suspect that we are up against the perennial problem of transcription here - there are probably hundreds of different ways that the subject's name could be written in the Roman alphabet.

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 01:19, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 2002. Does not appear to be enough nontrivial reliably sourced content to justify an independent article.

Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Other projects can cover this material, Wikipedia consensus has determined that Wikipedia is not that project. Should sourcing and claim of notability sufficient for Wikipedia later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates. Redirecting to non-notable lists only makes work for Admins who will have to delete these redirects later. Also, significantly, this is an inadequately-sourced BLP in a controversial area.

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way. This argument will be copied-and-pasted in the debate sections for all automated AfDs of this campaign. Carrite (talk) 14:24, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI. We need to keep them all as a matter of principle and ban the future use of automated tools in this way. This argument will be copied-and-pasted in the debate sections for all automated AfDs of this campaign. Carrite (talk) 14:26, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus is closest to redirection; redirecting without deletion can facilitate merging or the re-establishment of a separate article upon presentation and citation of further sourcing to establish notability. — Scientizzle 14:11, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Being a Playboy playmate does not make you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 01:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of Playboy Playmates of 1993. Does not appear to be enough nontrivial reliably sourced content to justify an independent article.

Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Other projects can cover this material, Wikipedia consensus has determined that Wikipedia is not that project. Should sourcing and claim of notability sufficient for Wikipedia later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates. Redirecting to non-notable lists only makes work for Admins who will have to delete these redirects later. Also, significantly, this is an inadequately-sourced BLP in a controversial area.

- Playmate of the Year is not an award. Non-trivial coverage on reliable sources may guarantee inclusions. Did you find some? --Damiens.rf 14:35, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - There's prior consensus in a recent AfD that PMOYs are notable. From this Gnews search [82], the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and recreation cover shot hits satisfies BASIC for me. Morbidthoughts (talk) 15:02, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - That was a very problematic AFD and I plan a deletion review on it. I'm just expecting the admin to reply my query. The votes we're basically WP:ILIKEIT and attacks on my person. The first keep voter even assumed that the girl was not notable other than the fact of being playmate of the year, which pretty much establishes that this title is not an evidence of notability. --Damiens.rf 15:27, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - You still had 6 editors in that AfD who considered that PMOY was a notable recognition/award/status. You can characterise it as ILIKEIT or not an award but evidence is staggeringly against you that it's not a well known award. [83] Morbidthoughts (talk) 15:40, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        The editors in that AfD were more interested in mocking me than in providing any support for the claim that playmate of the year should be considered an award, despite being a strategic decision by Plaboy Corp. about its products. As HullaBalloo perfectly put it there ""Playmate of the Year" is chosen on the same basis that my local supermarket picks the cereal that's on the front page of its weekly circular.". --Damiens.rf 20:08, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect as suggested above. I have no interest right now in the debate over whether or not making Playmate of the Year defines a subject as notable, despite limited third party coverage. If such is deemed to be the case at a later date it can simply be unmerged. I have not the time to copy/paste this to every single playmate nominated on this day, but any closing administrator may feel free to incorporate my thoughts and apply them to any other article of this type. coccyx bloccyx_(toccyx) 22:36, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm saying that I found no significant coverage...meaning depth of coverage. Number of Google hits != to level of significant coverage.

Delete - Not sure what makes it notable. Humourously, it links to List of United Church of Canada churches in Toronto, and look at the number of similar articles deleted. Not a deletion rationale, but I wonder how many of these were by similar authors. CycloneGU (talk) 18:31, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Without Prejudice Given the absence of references for the material currently in this article I think it is reasonable that everything in the article be deleted. At the same time, I personally suspect that this church is WP:N "worthy of notice": it has a history going back almost 100 years, there are multiple newspapers in Toronto, and we know of frequent newspaper articles in one newspaper during the last four of those 100 years. At this point we don't know enough about the church to know its size. None of the delete votes has made a case that this church is not notable (either the research is not verifiable or there is no research reported), what they are saying is that they don't have information that the church is notable. The difference is that a deletion here should be done without prejudice to recreation. Unscintillating (talk) 00:47, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete gnews shows very limited coverage mainly confirming its existence. [85]. most local churches do not have notability, existing for almost 100 years is not a claim for notability. LibStar (talk) 03:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the statement about existing for 100 years was not an assertion of notability so this is a straw man, it is an assertion that there is good reason to believe that 525 sources exist, so the article should be deleted without prejudice. Until research is completed in all of the local newspapers for all of those 100 years, there is not actually research to show that this church is or is not notable, all we can say with the current research is that we don't have sufficient material.

Being a Playboy playmate does not makes you notable. Being chosen Playmate of the Month or Playmate of the Year is not an award: It's a strategic commercial decision made by Playboy Corporation about how to better commercialize it products. Regardless of how much some Wikipedians love Playmates, we should write articles about them only when they were covered by independent third part sources. Also, texts solely related to their playmatehood are not the kind non-trivial coverage asked by the general notability criteria. Damiens.rf 00:47, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This should have been done after consensus determined Playmate-hood's non-notability. Other projects can cover this material, Wikipedia consensus has determined that Wikipedia is not that project. Should sourcing and claim of notability sufficient for Wikipedia later be found, the article can be re-started. Do NOT redirect. Redirecting non-notable articles to Listings of a subject which has been found to be non-notable is absurd. Playmate-hood, being inherently non-notable, does not prop up this article, nor can it prop up a List of playmates. Redirecting to non-notable lists only makes work for Admins who will have to delete these redirects later. Also, significantly, this is an inadequately-sourced BLP in a controversial area.

Procedural Keep - The use of automated tools for mass deletions should not be allowed against large blocks of articles which have already been patrolled at New Pages. It is, simply put, a violation of WP:BEFORE — due diligence is not being done when these tools are being used in this way. "Shoot them all and let the saps at AfD sort them out," is apparently the line of thinking. While I am personally sympathetic to the idea of a very high bar for so-called "Porn Bios," this blasting of 100 articles at the rate of 1 per minute, judging from the time logs, is not conducive to the spirit or practice of AfD. It is putting WP:I DON'T LIKE IT ahead of the established article deletion process and is disrespectful both to the work of article creators and those of us who volunteer our time at AfD. We have seen similar automated mass annihilation efforts recently against modern Trotskyist political organizations and against fraternities and sororities. The net result of these efforts was a lot of lost time by article creators and AfD participants and a lot of lost information from those articles annihilated as part of these campaigns. Meanwhile, the backlog of crap at New Pages festers. Something needs to be done about this problem. Mine is not a unique view — see Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_number_of_Playboy-related_AFD_nominations_by_a_single_user at ANI.

Comment There is a significant in-depth reference at El Mundo, and a few blog posts mention that it did start flying. Additionally, this fmbolivia article seems to indicate that the cancellation of the license was politically motivated to support both Aerosur and Boliviana de Aviación. Additionally, the Spanish Wikipedia entry, and a few other hits seem to suggest that it very quickly formed a strategic alliance with Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano which essentially combined the two companies (plus the 727s seem to be from LAB directly as well). I'm leaning towards keep, but also think that a merge with LAB, especially its attempts to restart, may be a viable (perhaps better?) option. Ravendrop 19:24, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Graphical language should be specifically for formal languages used on computers Gmstanley (talk) 04:39, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Graphical language" should be separate, focusing on formal, graphical modeling languages used on computers. These are common, for instance for workflows - reference the BPMN article in Wikipedia. They are also used in monitoring and control, as in the GDA reference cited, or in the "Sequential Function Chart" article in Wikipedia (based on the earlier GRAFCET graphical language, used for PLCs), or in the graphical language used as cited in the Wikipedia article on LabVIEW. While the current "graphical language" page is currently a bit of a hodgepodge that needs focus, it still differs from the "visual language" article. The "visual language article is even more of a hodgepodge of psychology, art, etc., focusing on how humans interact with each other.

I wasn't aware of that page until now. That could cover some cases. I would say that many graphical languages

used on computers are not really visual programming languages, though. To me, a real "programming language" generally emphasizes specification of a series of steps - it is basically procedural (although some of those procedures are what to do to respond to events, etc.). But some modeling languages are truly declarative. That is, they don't specify steps. They are typically a model of some aspect of the real world or perhaps a computer application. As an example, consider a graphical language that allows someone to represent a fault tree graphically. That's a completely declarative representation of how faults propagate, e.g., how various root causes of something like loss of coolant in a nuclear reactor propagate to cause the loss of coolant, and then propagate further leading to release of radioactive gas, etc. That model stands by itself independent of its usage. It could be used for prediction -- e.g., mark a valve as stuck, and follow the implications to see what will happen. Conversely, hypothesize an event like loss of coolant, and trace back through the diagram to figure out what might have caused it. Or, estimate the future probabilities of events based on the probabilities of failures of each of the root causes. The point is that different "engines" treat the same graphical model differently, even though it's the same model. It's up to an "engine" to decide what to do with that model. (I've been involved with graphical languages that make multiple uses of given graphical models.) A workflow representation like BPMN is a representation of something that is essentially procedural, so might be considered a graphical programming language, but not all graphical languages are like that.

Delete. I see no third-party notice of this group. If kept, article should be moved to the organization's official English name. --NellieBly (talk) 01:41, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Hi NellieBly. The article does actually show 'third-party notice', including the version of the article at the time of your reviewing it. The third-party notice shown is NPR and The Guardian, which I imagine we would both agree are notable so I will assume you overlooked these links. LEKI (talk) 19:18, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Apart from receiving press coverage in Paris media outlets (Le Parisien, Libération, RTL, likely others), I think that a group that was referred to by-name in both The Guardian in the UK and in a story on National Public Radio in the United States is probably notable enough that retaining a stub about the art group is acceptable.

~~Keep~~ (recommendation change to merge per Comte0's research below 13:04, 30 April 2011 (UTC)) per the significant coverage in reliable sources found by searching for the subject's name rather than an unnecessarily translated article title: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. I would also add that the word "irrelevant" in the nomination is itself irrelevant to a deletion discussion, as it is meaningless without a statement of what this topic is irrelevant to.

Merge with les UX, per [86]. In this article, the quote Or, la « Mexicaine de Perforation » n'est qu'une vitrine de l'UX (Urban Experiment) translates as : However, the Mexican drilling [society] is but a front for the UX. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 12:43, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Paul Smith (footballer born 1977)[edit]

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

This person fails the WP:GNG as he lacks significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. This article was previously proposed for deletion but was kept because he had "played in europe", however the source for that was a UEFA team list which is a textbook example of WP:ROUTINE coverage.

Keep per WP:ATHLETE, longstanding consensus is that playing in a notable competition confers automatic notability without the need for passing the GNG. --Dweller (talk) 09:53, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Why does he pass WP:ATHLETE? As far as I can see he's never played in a fully-professional league, and qualifying round matches in Europe aren't considered sufficiently notable. J Mo 101 (talk) 10:08, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:ATHLETE ("Players who have appeared, and managers who have managed, in a fully-professional league"). Smith has not played in a fully professional league. Number 5 7 10:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. Giant Snowman 10:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I created the article Liam Brownhill, a Droylsden player who competed in the second round of the FA Cup with Droylsden. That got deleted because it failed WP:ATHLETE and I think this article is in the same boat.Liam Taylor 11:12, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There is insufficient coverage for this player to pass WP:GNG and he has not played in any fully pro league, meaning he fails WP:NSPORT. Playing in the qualifying rounds of the Europa League does not grant notability. Sir Sputnik (talk) 13:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:NFOOTBALL and WP:GNG. Qualifying rounds of a continental competition isn't enough, in my opinion. Argyle 4 Life^talk 20:37, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as above. I'm sure there are less notable sportspeople with articles about them, but he still fails the criteria. Blue Square Thing (talk) 23:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2011 Southern Indoor Football League season[edit]

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

Non notable sports league, appears to fail WP:ATHLETE and WP:ORG. PROD declined. No references support notability. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:36, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
