  • Delete as whilst I don't see any evidence for or against WP:CONCERT TOUR here (since neither side of the argument presents any evidence for or against WP:Notability) I feel this fails WP:INDISCRIMINATE as it's just a list of tour dates and not an encyclopedia entry on the subject matter. -Rushyo Talk 23:55, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Late night anime[edit]

Late night anime (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The series has 1 source that doesn't show the notability of the topic. The series has 1 source in the article and a few others in the previous AfD that don't support the article. Furthermore, the article is chalked full of OR and finally it appears to be a WP:POVFORK from anime WP:UNDUEly emphasizing the importance of late night anime over other types without the sources to back it up. EDIT: There are a couple more sources in the previous AFD found, but they don't really demonstrate the notability of this getting a seperate article which is essentially a POVFORK even with the 2-3 other sources found. Furthermore, much of the info is still OR. Even with those sources they could not support an entire article and its likely at this point no new sources will be found, even if they were, there is no indiciation why from any of those sources Late night anime is so special that it needs such in depth coverage compared to anime in general.


EDIT: The article is also essentially a WP:NEOlogism which is normally not kept.∞陣内Jinnai 23:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete even though I can fully understand (as a matter of personal fact) why this might be worthy of an article. Without some work to provide reliable sources it fails WP:OR and WP:V, not to mention WP:NEO as well. I can't agree that it's an WP:POVFORK without evidence to support that assertion, though. Regardless, there seems to have been a consensus in the previous AfD that if sources would be added to support the assertion this article should exist then it would be kept. They clearly haven't been, so the position should be re-considered. Aren't articles supposed to become better sourced, not worse? -Rushyo Talk 23:32, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete but absolutely allow this to be userfied. There's no resources and without those (even though I can vouch that most of this is correct) this is just an original research essay. I tried finding things on the internet and while it's something that comes up with a ton of ghits, none of those hits are anything that could even begin to be used as a reliable source.

  • Changing vote to keep per sources found by Gwern. My search-fu must be off tonight as far as anime goes. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 10:32, 4 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
  • Keep. Late-night anime is a crucial change in the history of anime, which to a great degree is responsible for the efflorescence of anime in the late '90s and '00s (and subsequent bubble popping, leading to the current otaku-centric trends as they are where the money is) since it provided a new demand for complex sophisticated series which catered more to adults (and critics, eg. a lot of stuff on Noitamina) rather than the standard kidfare of Pokemon or Sailor Moon; if the sources are inadequate, that is the fault of editors and not the topic - they are definitely there in Japan. For example, the Anime Encyclopedia's "Censorship and Localization" entry:

"Many of the short "TV series" sold to the American market began as late-night programs airing long past midnight, and can have content designed to match. Primetime television in Japan has become increasingly censorious since the mid-1990s, when controversial episodes of EVANGELION were broadcast without prior executive approval. The resultant timidity on the part of broadcasters has played into the hands of the late-night shows and cable networks, with shows such as GANTZ enjoying two distinct existences: one in a widely available but edited form and another i n a more graphic version requiring cable subscription or DVD rental. In the case of COWBOY BEBOP, the main story arc was only seen on WOWOW and DVDs-the version seen on terrestrial TV was missing 14 episodes."

Or look at this translation, of an interview with a veteran producer in the Mainichi Shimbun, whose intro talks almost entirely about late night anime in the same terms as above: "Midnight anime has given birth to a series of hit works from K-On to Madoka Magica. As anime programs are now disappearing from golden time slots, its presence has gained prominence. But since when did its history start?" etc. (Both are, it is hopefully needless to say, two monstrously popular series/franchises.) Nor is that the only Mainichi piece I could quote. As usual, I refer those who want more to my CSE. --Gwern (contribs) 08:44 4 December 2011 (GMT)
That doesn't mean it deserves its own article. There isn't much to say about it as its imo a POVFORK and Rushyo a WP:NEOlogism. There are a lot of items that changed anime industry that do not get their own special article, such as the Summer anime, adaptations of video games (especially visual novels) or the the reverse, the influence anime has had on video games, changes to western culture, the impact of CG, etc. Why? Not because you can't find anything about them because you can. It's because there isn't much to say that cannot be summarized in the main article instead of spinning it out and adding a bunch of OR and conjecture.∞陣内Jinnai 16:56, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not every article has to be huge. And it's clearly not a neologism, not that I know why you're calling an editor a neologism in the first place. --Gwern (contribs) 18:22 4 December 2011 (GMT)
Sorry if it sounded wrong, but i wasn't called the editor one. However it is one and it is unlikely to be of any length that cannot be better summarized under anime or history of anime. It also looks to me much like a POVFORK by promoting this type of anime time slot above others.∞陣内Jinnai 18:57, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
History of anime might be a reasonable target since the 1990s section is covertly discussing the late-night boom already. But did that need an AFD? --Gwern (contribs) 19:06 4 December 2011 (GMT)
Considering the last time it was kept because basically it was said sources would be placed in to show notability and the article has only gotten worse. It is chalked full of research, is a biased term (it talks about only the US while the article implies it shouldn't be geographic-centric, it is a probable neologism and a POVFORK. At this point it would be better to delete the almost completely unsourced article and start from scratch at another point and actually follow WP:SS instead blatantly ignoring it. That's why; the article shouldn't even exist. Even WP:IMPERFECT does not allow for biased articles to stay.∞陣内Jinnai 01:18, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per Gwern's arguments.--Cavarrone (talk) 07:47, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I fail to see how this article isn't of an unencyclopedian nature. It's an appropriate, significant topic. I also fail to see how this is original research since the term and concept clearly exists outside of this article. At worst, the article could use some work but it otherwise looks fine to me. --NINTENDUDE64 17:44, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Look up the definition of neologism. Just because a few sources use it doesn't make it mainstream.

  • Keep - clearly a notable, even widespread concept on Japanese TV. Bearian (talk) 20:50, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm a bit torn on this one. While it's true the subject matter certainly belongs on Wikipedia, Jinnai makes a valid point: it may not be deserving of it's own article. Despite this, my !vote's going to be keep or merge, perhaps to Anime or Television in Japan. One look at the Japanese counterpart to this article shows me that there are sources out there to verify the content and establish it's notability, and we could use the sources listed there as a good starting place to do just that. Even if they're not enough to hold up an entire article on their own, they could at least be used to support merged content. But total deletion of the content just doesn't seem very wise to me. -waywardhorizons (talk) 18:08, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Czech Airlines destinations[edit]

Czech Airlines destinations (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The place for this is in the web site of the airline. Why should an encyclopedia give this kind of data? Or if particular, a summary of this could be moved to the main article Czech Airlines. Either way we dont need an exclusive encyclopedia article telling us where a particular airline could reach us. Those who need that data wont come here, they'll rather go to the airlines website for accurate info. And those who come to the article Czech Airlines would not wish to know these kinds of details. So in short this article serves no purpose. Austria156 (talk) 21:29, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Should we have any of these lists? Randomly looking through them some have been updated in the past few months, some not in years, many don't have dates. When it's unrealistic to expect from the community the effort required to keep these lists up-to-date (and therefore useful in some way), accurate info would be better provided to the reader with an external link to the airline's website. So I think I agree with the nom in principle, maybe this isn't the place and maybe an effort should be made to get rid of all. I'm somewhat loathe to head in that direction considered all the work that was obviously done for these lists, but it really seems pointless. Every airline article I have read has the destinations already included. LoveUxoxo (talk) 23:13, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This is a very standard Wikipedia list, of which these lists the broad community as a whole has built up and maintained and generally they are maintained very well. Suddenly advocating the removal of them by throwing up an AfD of one such list is out of line of seeking broad community consensus.--Oakshade (talk) 00:25, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Let us not lose our focus: Is it/are they necessary? Do they serve any real purpose? If a standing convention is the only argument in favour, then is it not time that we consider changing it? And let us begin that change from here, from this page. Let us remove this article and suggest the removal of others too. Austria156 (talk) 01:14, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge to parent, while I declined the speedy, that was for solely procedural reasons. I don't find any sources showing any particular notability of an exhaustive list of destinations of this airline. It's possible it could be in some cases, but "This is done for others" is not a valid inclusion reason (as in the first two keeps). Instead, it must be shown that the subject of this article in particular is notable, and I can't find the amount of sourcing on this subject that would demonstrate that—my search for sources seems to demonstrate quite the opposite. This seems to be the definition of an indiscriminate list of information that would be better summarized in the parent than written out exhaustively in a standalone list. Seraphimblade Talk to me 15:45, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep appears to be I dont like it request but as a standard daughter article of parent airline it doesnt appear to be any different than others in the same cat, this is not the place to discuss all 300+ articles in the same category unless you tag all of them. It is not intended as a travel guide so it doesnt have to be up to date it is to show the extent of the airlines services so is clearly part of the description about Czech Airlines. The airline project has split this subject in to a daughter article when the list has become to large for the parent. In this case it is big enough to stand-alone. It may not be the best quality article but not a reason to delete. Note two destination list articles are featured lists so they clearly meets the list criteria. MilborneOne (talk) 19:56, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As noted on the article's talk page, this article was twice included in bulk AfD discussions covering all of the destination articles, in 2006 and 2007. Both times the consensus was to keep. -- Hawaiian717 (talk) 20:11, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. Otherwise we should delete all other airline destinations pages. As with many other sections of any article, splitting is a good idea to avoid including data that has the potential to become extremely large in the main page, and just let anyone interested in further insights to go to the secondary article. These pages are the perfect candidate for expansion and for providing information that cannot be thoroughly covered in the main article, i.e. the history of the route network, which is not to be confused with the history of the airline itself. I believe the ties Czechoslovakia once had with the USSR in particular and with the Communist Bloc in general in defining the airline's route network are worth mentioning here.

  • Keep ofc. Speed74 (talk) 20:02, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into parent Czech Airlines article. That article is only 10kB readable prose size, so splitting off this child article was way premature. The fact that in the future that might be necessary doesn't mean it should be done now, which splits up the presentation of information to the reader. The list can be formatted better and presented in 40% less space as well. The most potentially encyclopedic aspect to the current article is the unfortunately totally un-sourced historical destinations section, which is too bad. I'm totally in favor of including such information in Wikipedia, but I fail to see the reason that for this specific airline the encyclopedia is better with the split. Please remember that while many airlines have an associated destinations list many do NOT, many because they shouldn't, and the question here is should this specific list exist.
Regarding the statement that "no discernible deletion rationale given", I think it is quite the opposite. I do not see a single Keep !vote above that has a rational to keep based on policy or guide. This might be the moment I finally understand the point of the essay WP:OTHERSTUFF, because I always hated it before. It doesn't say its prohibited to make comparisons to other existing articles, the first thing I always do, but it is about judging an AfD on its specific merits. Merging this article into the parent does not mean or require anything be done to any other similar list (a straw man that I contributed to).
User:Seraphimblade questioned WP:NOTABILITY, and I think that is always the best argument for a Keep !vote, but no one has argued against him. Pan Am's historic route destinations? Obvious notable. For Czech Airlines this has not been shown. I think I disagree with him on WP:INDISCRIMINATE, especially in this case where the the airline's website doesn't have a list AFAIK, just a graphic. I believe this article should be merged back into the parent until a time it is appropriate to split based on either size (not close to being met) or content (not a single argument of notability above) per WP:SPLITTING. LoveUxoxo (talk) 00:27, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep--the article is long enough to stay on its own. Maybe we could merge it into Czech Airlines article, but I think that this is long enough to warrant keeping separate from its parent article. Also, it is standard practice to have airline destination list articles. If this article was shorter, ie you could read it while barely having to scroll up and down, then I would say merge. But since it's longer than that, I say Keep. —Compdude123 (talk) 17:32, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - After thinking about it more and reading some other comments here, I think it might make more sense to merge it, considering the parent article itself is not as long as others I've seen and this destination list would fit in just nicely (though we might want to reformat it as a collapsible table to save space). And besides, the WP guidelines say the "We've always done it this way" argument isn't a valid argument in a deletion discussion--Wikipedia guidelines trump everything else. I've changed my mind and now I believe it should be merged. —Compdude123 (talk) 23:44, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Notifying the relevant Wikiproject that the article is within the scope of is not in any manner canvassing and should always be encouraged. --Oakshade (talk) 02:19, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Disagreed there, Wikiprojects tend to be partisan. Maybe if it's a reputable one like MILHIST, but a lot tend to bloc-vote. Seraphimblade Talk to me 02:47, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Then you disagree with WP:AFD which encourages notifying the relevant projects. From WP:AFD:Notifying WikiProjects that support the page:
"WikiProjects are groups of editors that are interested in a particular subject or type of editing. If the article is within the scope of one or more WikiProjects, they may welcome a brief, neutral note on their project's talk page(s) about the AfD."
There was nothing un-neutral about the project notification in this case.
And your comment is a colossal attack on the good faith of all Wikiprojects. Please provide evidence that the members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Aviation or Wikipedia:WikiProject Airlines have demonstrated a systemic practice of "bloc-voting." Members of Wikiprojects are much more knowledgeable than most on the subject and can provide better insight as to the validity of a stand-alone page. If you'd like to completely change WP:AFD to not only discourage notification of Wikiprojects of articles under their scope but to even ban them, you need to make your case on the AFD talk page, not try to change it and create your own "rule" in a single afd. --Oakshade (talk) 03:46, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ummm, why is it a bad thing to mention an AfD discussion on a WikiProject talk page? It attracts people who are part of the project to come and participate in the discussion. User:Oakshade has got it right on the dime, and he/she is making a good point. I can say for myself that if this AfD discussion hadn't been posted on the Wikiproject, I would never have commented here. —Compdude123 (talk) 06:26, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well Seraphimblade, I don't know if they are "reputable" (that Aviation-project party MilborneOne threw last weekend was SICK and DISGUSTING). But my experience has been that when editors have come over to an AfD based on notices posted on the Aviation-project pages they have been slightly more critical of inclusion than average (probably a good thing). This AfD is running counter to the norm I believe. LoveUxoxo (talk) 20:20, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Excellent. Then I presume you're prepared to present the substantial coverage in reliable sources regarding the destinations of this airline, rather than the We've always done it this way argument? What I'm seeing here is the typical definition of ownership and a bloc "vote". If this article is justifiable, there are reliable sources that cover its subject in depth, if not, it is indefensible. Seraphimblade Talk to me 07:25, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
He he. There are a good number of articles with no coverage at all that seem to stay up for no reason. In this case it is consensus/common practice to split the destinations list into a separate article to avoid the main article being too enlarged by the destinations list. So the only refs needed here are those that prove the destinations, for notability we can look back at the airline and I do believe Czech Airlines is notable.

Atomic Coffee Machine[edit]

Contributor 118.210.115.248 = The genericist = Jack Grieve who wrote the article, is using the already protected trademark "Atomic" (Trademark holder: [1]) in Australia for his coffee machines made in Taiwan. His application was refused: [2]. This page is used as a matter of promotion and false claims as to the legal case and doesn't reflect the history of this coffee machine. The subject of the article seems to be wether or not one is allowed to manufacture these coffee machines nowadays and under which name they should be marketed. Page "Atomic_Coffee_Machine" also witnesses poor ratings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) 04:06, 30 October 2011‎— Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Keep - none of your claims are valid reasons for deletion, except for the claim of promotion - and this Jack Grieve is not mentioned in the article, nor is any special mention of Australian brands. The article could use some better sourcing, but it's not overly promotional as you claim. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:38, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear MikeWazowski, maybe i souldn't have deleted the link to his webpage before asking for deletion. (see history) The Source of the pictures is clearly labeled as sorrentinacoffee.com (see here: [3]). The same picture will be found on his Flickr account: [4] . Althought the name is not mentionned, the article clearly serves his purpose of promotion, Mr. Jack Grieve beeing the general manager of Sorrentinacoffee: [5] . It is a clearly a breach of the Soapbox policy. The article has a very legal angle which hasn't got its place on Wikipedia, and mainly present his personal views on the matter (Matter already discussed in a legal case in Australia see ipmonitor link above). Nitzkovic— Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

As the editor in question has not touched the article in six months (and for a year before that) and other editors have been free to edit and modify it in the time since, your argument about breaching the soapbox policy is invalid. I stand by my original comments. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:10, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
118.210.115.248 last contributed on the 12th of september 2011. To me, that's 48 days. His entry was a comment on a specific Blog (another breach of Wikipedia POV policy) (see [6]). I am only stating the obvious. Nitzkovic — Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Of course, you have no proof of this - just baseless accusations from someone who appears (to me) to have their own conflict of interest in the matter. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:14, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I seriously question the motives of Nitzkovic, a single purpose editor who has only previously made edits to this single article and now wants to delete it. He claims that 118.210.115.248 is Jack Grieve, which goes against WP:OUTING, while offering no proof that this is the case. The nominator seems to have some kind of axe to grind and Wikipedia is not the place for that. To me the subject of the article looks notable enough to be kept. --Biker Biker (talk) 21:19, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No particular motive, no conflict of interest. Conflicts of interest look like this: See [7] (with many Registered sign). I personnaly don't understand how this Atomic_coffee_machine article can be a valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Read the text carefully. The purpose of the article seems to be that this machine can be manufacturered nowadays. (noone said the contrary). The rest of the article contains some rather personal views on the "generic" value of the word "Atomic" for these coffee machines. Where is the encyclopedic value of this article? Please explain to me why your argumentation is now concentrating on my motivation/interest? Seems to me that rather than discussing the matter, you would rather attack the person. And why is my point of view less valuable as a single purpose editor? Nitzkovic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitzkovic (talk • contribs) 22:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell me why the following phrases are relevant on an article about a coffee machine which production stopped in 1989: "These patents expired many decades ago and are now in the public domain." and "Given the high demand for Atomic coffee makers, and that the various patents expired many decades ago, it was only natural that someone should make reproductions based on those patents. Many people believe that such reproductions are 'fake','imitation' of 'knock off' products, however understandable such a view may be, it demonstrates a lack of understanding of intellectual property law as it is generally recognized internationally: once a patent has expired there is nothing morally or legally wrong in any party deciding to manufacture a product based on that patent. Indeed this is the social pay-off of the patent legislation. In return for a fixed period monopoly on their invention the inventor agrees to publish the details of the invention in the public domain. When the patent expires all are free to exploit it." To me, it is only relevant to the business who would like to manufacture them nowadays... the same business who wrote this article, and let his mark on the pictures. Nitzkovic (talk) 16:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)Nitzkovic[reply]

KEEP Hidden agenda behind deletion. Nitkovic is clearly biased has made many unsubstantiated claims concerning the supposed writer/s of the atomic coffee machine article. Having already deleted and re-written much of the article (somewhat poorly) he/she now seeks to remove the entire thing. The article is/was relevant and much of the material already removed by Nikovic seemed to be relevent and worthwhile. 180.181.122.185 (talk) 14:41, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jack! "The entire thing" as you call it had no relevance what so ever apart from advertising your business, making false claim. Even the pictures you provided have your webpage linked to it. Who do you want to fool? Nitzkovic (talk) 20:06, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone explain me that phrase: "The Robbiati design and patent registrations cover the Atomic shape". It doesn't make sense at all. a) How can someone cover an atomic shape (atomic mushroom??? or a nucleus???)? b) The coffee machine doesn't look like a mushroom or an atom, does it?. Mr. Robbiati covered his improvements (patent). The rest is a trademark problematic (atomic name). If someone can explain how someone can cover an atomic shape [8] in a patent, i would be very thankful.

So... it has been a week now. Where are the answers?

Notability of the topic is not established. Although there are millions of Christians who are conservative in some sense or another there does not seem to be one definite meaning of the expression "conservative Christianity." The different themes, for instance Christian right and Fundamentalist Christianity, should each have a separate article. BigJim707 (talk) 18:42, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or DAB or whatever, except keep, to save the reader from the confusion. For the life of me, I can not figure out what defines the concept on which the article is based. The text mixes conservative Catholics with conservative Protestants and then makes generalizations about the belief in the divinity of Jesus! The term Chalcedonian Christianity is missing from the article, of course. The underlying basis of the definitions in the article seem to be mostly unaware of the long forgotten field called Christian theology. And the term "conservative" usually has some type of political context such as voting Republican in the US and as someone said on the talk page this is pretty US oriented. And are there non-conservative Mormons? Does the article consider Mormons Christians? Are there non-Conservative Eastern Orthodox? Are all Eastern Orthodox conservative or some are not? How about Eastern Catholics? Are all non-Trinitarians non-conservative? Overall the basic tenet of the definition of the term on which the article is based seems to be unaware of the beliefs of Christian denominations worldwide and uses a very simplistic brush to paint many people the same color. The overall concept seems to have been derived from watching some TV evangelists and forming opinions and concepts based on that. A pretty confused concept which is pretty much "an invention" as a whole and no basis for an article for it. History2007 (talk) 19:50, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Tho we imagine we know it when we see it, "Conservative Christianity" is not a single, clearly defined movement or tradition, unlike Liberal Christianity, the article in reaction to which this one was created in good faith.[7][8] Scope here has drifted from Conservative movements in contemporary American Protestant Christianity (perhaps duplicative of the article Christian right) to include origins of Christianity, and (relevant, but at disproportionate length) Traditionalist Catholicism (with "Conservative Catholicism" being equivalent to "Catholicism", apparently).
    I expect for this article to be kept, someone would need to:
    1. Determine what this article is actually about, based presumably on what in this article is not already covered in another article (otherwise this is a WP:POVFORK),
    2. retitle accordingly, lest this article be forever WP:COATRACKed,
    3. merge any well-sourced but off-topic matter to the relevant articles,
    4. resume editing article within new scope.
Otherwise, since conservative typically implies politics, redirect to Christian right (or whatever better target is found) as an aid to searches. / edg ☺ ☭ 20:20, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I do not know of an absolute determination but regarding "Determine what this article is actually about" I think I have done that for myself at least: it is about confusion. But there is already an article on that. History2007 (talk) 19:45, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Christian right - I have found a few sources which mention Conservative Christianity, but it often seems to be interchangeable with the Christian right. Unless a source can be found which differentiates between the two, we only need one article. ItsZippy (talk • contributions) 20:48, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve. On the plus side, the article is well written, well sourced, well thought out, and does define the term as the author sees it. On the other hand, it feels like the term is defined, with the sources, as a little bit skewed by the author's own view - in short, there appears to be some bias problems in there. I cannot justify a delete !vote for a little bit of bias, however, let alone even a weak keep, when the large pool of available editors could do some nice work on this. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:00, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and improve While I don't agree that the article is well sourced presently, there are ample sources to fulfill the notability requirement. This is just the plain fact of the matter. And this coverage is independent of Christian Right.– Lionel (talk) 23:48, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    If it is to be improved what does Conservative Christianity mean in Northern Ireland or in England? In Northern Ireland is it the Catholics or the Protestants who are the conservatives?

  • Redirect to Christian Right. Many sources use it as a synonym for Christian Right, and those that don't, state that the Christian Right is the contemporary political advocate of conservative Christianity or that Conservative Christianity is the bedrock of the Christian Right. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 00:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Christian Right (without prejudice) and incubate, per request above. There needs to be a decision made about how to prevent forking on this topic. Christian fundamentalism seems to be on a historical moment in Protestantism; Christian Right on the contemporary social conservative movement. What is this exactly? Is it advisable and historical to connect various streams and trends of theologically conservative Christianity in one article? If so, how is that to be differentiated from other search terms. I'm not adverse to the idea, there just needs to be some work done to keep the search terms accurate and room for differentiation of A from B from C from D from E (since there are probably other parallel topics that I haven't mentioned here). Carrite (talk) 01:13, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete See my comments on the talk page of the article, but basically History2007 has summed up my point of view. DO not redirect it as the redirect are to equally American concentric articles that almost certainly need moving or deleting. This whole area is whack a rat. -- PBS (talk) 01:36, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect as requested above. The article "Christian Right" makes it clear that it is being discussed as a US-centric concept, and it is better a reader be sent somewhere possibly relevant to their search term rather than sent nowhere at all. If an article on the broader/universal/theological aspect of liberalism and conservatism within Christian theology appears then we can discuss then whether "Conservative Christianity" should redirect there or to "Christian Right".AerobicFox (talk) 06:04, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep and improve. I strongly oppose redirect to Christian right, as that term has political context and here it is about values, it would be very deceiving. In my life I met lots of people using this term in exact meaning how it is defined in here and redirect to Christian right would cause semantic havoc.
Christian right is a term used in the United States to describe "right-wing" Christian political groups
Conservative Christianity (also called traditional Christianity) is a term applied to a number of groups or movements seen as giving priority to traditional Christian beliefs and practices.--Stephfo (talk) 23:21, 4 December 2011 (UTC) One more note - I think some people are confusing term Conservative Christianity with Christian Conservatives ({often initial capital letter}of or pertaining to the Conservative party.); a fortiori stronger reason for keeping this page. --Stephfo (talk) 23:31, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Another note: IMHO, the context as described in this article is used also in documentary about Bonhoeffer [9] (9min:18s) when describing his family roots who were anything but political Christian right. Also compare "His Christocentric approach appealed to conservative, confession-minded Protestants; while his commitment to social justice as a cardinal responsibility of Christianity appealed to liberal Protestants." in WP article about him. Your reasoning would imply that "His ...approach appealed to "Christian Right" what sounds as clear nonsense to me in given context, I apologize for any inconvenience.--Stephfo (talk) 00:16, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I like this idea. I am changing my vote to support this. Looking at the incoming links - which as things stand are in need of disambiguation - most are not to the Christian right at all. In fact, most are to the original subject of the article - a theologically orthodox Christianity that rejects the beliefs Liberal Christianity. Whatever the failings of the article previously, this is a notable subject, and in need of an article by itself. Hence, I am changing my vote to keep.

You might be over-thinking this. a WP:DAB for this subject shouldn't be more than 3 or 4 articles. For instance, Confessing Movement is not a reasonable DAB for Conservative Christianity—it might be suited for List of traditionalist Christian sects or Sprawling omnibus list of religious groups considered in some way "conservative", but someone searching Conservative Christianity isn't looking for an article on a specific sect. And if the DAB is changed into a list article, the WP:SCOPE problem returns.
I still favor a Redirect to Christian Right since not many other things are actually called "Conservative Christianity" (Greeley and Hout's coinage notwithstanding). Prior to the DAB, this article was an (effectively) unsourced rumination, and wasn't been improved (despite a several days' notice in a multiple delsort lists and WikiProjects), so nothing would be lost with a Delete. / edg ☺ ☭ 19:55, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Turn into disambiguation page: Poorly defined topic that overlaps with several pre-existing articles. A confusing mish-mash of several divergent movements from Traditional Catholicism to Fundamentalist Protestantism with little else in common except that they are in some way "conservative". Worse, the word "conservative" is ambiguous here as it sometimes apparently means religiously conservative, and at other times apparently means politically conservative. This ambiguity is also present in the sources used, as well as in the pool of potential sources out there. A disambiguation page would enable the reader to select among the various options based on which meanings they have in mind. I can't see how the article can be improved to the point where it represents a single coherent topic that does not almost entirely overlap with other existing articles. If there is some reason why a dismbiguation page is not possible, the material in this article should be deleted or merged into exsisting articles. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 05:39, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO this disambiguation is causing exactly what is described in following terms The Truth about Conservative Christians:
Many of us make facile talk about conservative Christians while having vague ideas of who they are. Now we have no excuse. Greeley and Hout tell us exactly who they are
Pundits and political operatives have produced an enormous amount of nonsense in recent years about conservative Protestants.--Stephfo (talk) 15:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we can say Greeley and Hout own this term (even tho they use the word truth). As mentioned earlier, this article currently describes "Conservative Catholics" essentially as pious Catholics. Pious, unworldly "conservative, confession-minded Protestants" are essentially Protestants. However, for most readers the highly political "Christian right" are also "conservatives", perhaps moreso. Until there is a (verifiable) consensus bigger than Greeley and Hout on what the term conservative christian means, attempts to limit this exact term are unencyclopedic soapboxing. / edg ☺ ☭ 18:24, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment hopefully those who think disambiguation is the solution are willing to help fix the 282 incoming links to this new disambig. --JaGatalk 19:03, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Many of them are difficult, and this is making me lean back towards having the article. For example, one of the links is from Canonical criticism, which I created. The link is in a quote in which James Barr argues that the vision of a post-critical era "is the conservative dream." Conservative in this sense is clearly the subject of this article. One the other hand, it should probably be delinked anyway per MOS:QUOTE, which says "as much as possible, avoid linking from within quotes." StAnselm (talk) 20:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • As the nominator I think the new DAB page is a great idea, better than deletion. Readers will learn something about the different ways the expression is used and then be directed to the topic they are interested in. BigJim707 (talk) 23:00, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As a nominator for deletion? DAB is providing all nuance meanings except the most semantically reasonable: "Conservative Christianity (also called traditional Christianity) is a term applied to a number of groups or movements seen as giving priority to traditional Christian beliefs and practices."--Stephfo (talk) 23:25, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that that is the most logical meaning of the two words, however that was not the theme of the original article -- nor does it seem like the most common use of the phrase. BigJim707 (talk) 08:31, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I somewhat agree, but don't see the improvement. Instead of linking to the most common usage of this term, this DAB has become (not counting the link to Christian right) a list of Christian sects that some editors think can reasonably be called "conservative". That's not what a WP:DAB is for, and even by list article standards this is very WP:OR.
I'm boldly removing references to particular sects that may be considered "conservative" and early Christianities—those belong in two separate (and potentially contentious) list articles. Christian right and Traditionalism (religion) are the only reasonable redirect targets I can find. (And that 2nd one is a stretch.) / edg ☺ ☭ 16:33, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Also removed Evangelicalism, a sect typically considered "conservative" but not entirely nor essentially so. However, I have added a See also for Christian fundamentalism because the movement is considered historically a reaction Liberal Christianity (the article in reaction to which this one was created). Not adding The Fundamentals, a really classic example of christian religious conservatism, but not a reasonable DAB and too specific for the See also section. / edg ☺ ☭ 17:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I still do not see [in DAB] the meaning obviously used at the very minimum in documentary about Bonhoeffer (and this is in my case actually the most frequently used meaning I personally come across) when describing his roots and then I naturally oppose the DAB and suggest to return to the original article and improve it as much as possible wrt. reasonable objections raised. If conservative is in political context "The term [that] has since been used to describe a wide range of views" then I do not see why it is a problem in Christian context to have article describing a wide range of views. In the documentary, the context was obviously applied to [Bonhoeffer's family] seen as giving priority to traditional Christian beliefs and practices, such as, for example, attending Church services. They obviously had nothing to do with "The Christian right", let alone "in U.S. politics" and definitely not anything to do with orthodox doctrines or other views often condemned as heretical by Protestant churches. Yet these two are currently the only options to explain this term.--Stephfo (talk) 17:22, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It certainly bugs me that traditional Protestants who eschew worldly concerns are invisible while the Religious Right gets all the press. The problem as I see it is the broad term Conservative Christianity is not owned by them, nor does it really define any distinct movement, tradition or group. If, for example, someone refers to "old-fashioned Christianity" or "authentic Christianity", same problem. The exploratory (and unsourced) attempt to create a description in this article was producing a community-written position paper, not an encyclopedia article.
The good thing about have a DAB for this is if someone like Greeley and Hout gets wider acceptance for this definition, it can be linked, rather than debated for priority over a more well-established meaning (e.g. Christian right. regrettably). / edg ☺ ☭ 19:30, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This entire discussion shows how TV-centric this definition is. May I suggest a look at this page and its classification as "conservative Christian or not" based on the article? Let us see which category that falls into. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 20:15, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
In my opinion it does not qualify, for reason that the article is about Russian Orthodox Church, an institutional Church that is one branch within Christianity. The members of these Church might be conservative Christians as well as liberal Christians, but mere membership in Orthodox Church per se will definitely not make them conservative Christians, IMHO. Expression conservative Christians is about values, not institutional category.--Stephfo (talk) 01:09, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The views of the members of that church and Greek Orthodox Church are very, very uniform. They are "Orthodox" because they adhere to the rules pretty orthodoxly. The fact is that there are a pile of "Christians" around the world who do not fit the dichotomy which the definition proposes. You have beliefs {A, B, C, D} which characterize group I and beliefs {X, Y, Z} which characterize group II. Now these people have beliefs {A, X, C} which breaks the attributes used for categorization. It "does not qualify" means that the definition is basically a US-based TV-driven definition, derived from specific religio-political concepts in which there is far more uniformity in the belief-attributes of each group. Think of it this way: Being in a specific belief category means that the people in that category must resonate. Can a prominent member of the Russian Orthodox Church show up, hug and resonate with Jerry Falwell on TV? Only when Hell freezes over. The definition is flawed. History2007 (talk) 09:39, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
You're expressing your self in very abstract terms, now try to move to analogical term "conservative" in political context and try to outline the difference that should justify keeping that term, bearing in mind the statements "Some conservatives seek to preserve things as they are, emphasizing stability and continuity, while others oppose modernism and seek a return to the way things were. The term has since been used to describe a wide range of views." in context of what you just presented (group I and ... group II). Where you see the difference to keep that term and remove this one? Pls. explain. Thanx--Stephfo (talk) 17:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Abstract terms? Moi? Next I am going to get accused of having been an abstract thinker in a past life... Who would have thought... But seriously, the long and short of it is that the page mixes theological beliefs and political views. In the US TV-based cases there are inherent relationship between the two: Falwell's crowd do not like socialism. But there are people whose theological views are similar to the theological views of the Falwell crowd, but are socialists, e.g. the leftovers of the Russian socialists who are still Christian. So they do not fit in the dichotomy. They would agree with the Falwell crowd theologically, but they could never appear as friends on TV. So the page is not a theological belief issue, is a theologio-political issue restricted to the US. History2007 (talk) 21:44, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for any inconvenience, but the argument "the leftovers of the Russian socialists who are still Christian" seems to be suspicious to the highest degree. Are you trying to propose that Russian socialists have been and still are Christian? Who in particular? Since when they have been Christian? Can you name some particular you have in mind? And what it has to do with term conservative Christians? Pls. explain--Stephfo (talk) 01:01, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I give up. Are there no Christians in Russia who are socialists? Enough said. In any case, try to put Sergei Bulgakov, his accusers and supporters and the Falwell people into a comparative discussion and you will start to see the complexity of the issues. But enough said. But his books The Orthodox Church ISBN 0881410519 and The Lamb of God ISBN 0802827799 have interesting theology, in case you want to look into that. But enough said here. History2007 (talk) 01:08, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I checked that article, the word "socialist" is used only once, without any references. --Stephfo (talk) 03:41, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So you can add this there. But really, this is an obvious issue if one searches and studies it. So this goes back to the point of the article being unaware of theological or world religion facts beyond TV. But I must really stop now. I am not going to watch this page any more. Should not have even voted in the first place. Took too much time. History2007 (talk) 03:46, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • DAB Clearly there is much confusion stemming from the ambiguity of the word 'conservative' to mean either 'politically right-wing' or 'traditionally-minded' (among serveral other interpretations). Each of these meanings could apply to Christians, and there is worthwhile material to be covered. DaveApter (talk) 12:30, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- It is unfortunate that some one has chosen to convert this to a dabpage before the AFD is closed. The AFD originally related to [page]. There is clearly confusion over the use of the term. I regard myself as a conservative Christian, meaning that I hold to the traditional beliefs of the church, in my case evangelical ones, in contrast to liberal christianity. I happen also to be a Conservative politically, but that is different. A member of the Liberal Party could be a conservative evangelical or an athiest. A political conservative could in the religious context be a consrevative evangelical, a liberal christian, an atheist, a Muslim, etc. However ther is also a difference between being a conservative evangelical and a fundamentalist. Some fundamentalists will claim that the earth is flat, because they find Biblical verses that appear to imply that. I do not go along with such literalist nonsense.

The result was delete. Consensus among most experienced editors is that this is a case of WP:1E and WP:NOT#NEWS. The "keep" opinions mostly do not approach the issue from the perspective of our inclusion policies and guidelines, and are consequently given less weight.  Sandstein  21:57, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I originally put a prod2 with "sad as this story is, it's a classical case of BLP1E. In addition, the article reads more like an attack piece on the Savages and The Communications Clinic". This still holds. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 18:56, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Not only did the subject of this article play an important, and cited, role in Ireland during the US Election but she was also active in Irish political life. I have just added citations confirming this. I've looked at this article and if anything it's being far too kind about the role of The Communications Clinic.

  • If that is true, then there could conceivably be an article on the handling of the article, it doesn't make Fitzgerald notable, though. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 22:16, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Because it was a big thing in the Irish newspapers. Not for a day, but for a prolonged period. For the rest, see the statements op 89.101 and MoyrossLady. Night of the Big Wind talk 23:49, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Adding too it, on the name "Kate Fitzgerald" you get a 100.000 internet hits and 102 Google News hits. Especially the Google News hits are remarkable, due to the fact that Google News its focus on the USA. Night of the Big Wind talk 10:13, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I get 9 GNews hits (using "Kate Fitzgerald"), 4 of them about other persons with the same name and all about the one event. Searching the web, although 99,000 results are indicated, they boil down to 620 hits if you scroll to the end. Several of those are for a UMass professor and an actress of the same name, among several others. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 10:39, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fact is that the case is still hot, with another article today in the Irish Independent [10]. There is enough media coverage to assume notability. Night of the Big Wind talk 04:58, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The page feels a little bit like a memorial page, and there are the issues compounded by WP:BLP1E. As an aside, I recognize that BLP1E notes living persons (which, regretfully, Ms. Fitzgerald is no longer), but the situation that remains is that she is only notable for one event. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:52, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - for next few weeks subject of multiple national newspaper articles. subject of prime time national TV interview (RTE 1, 3 Dec) and of national radio interviews (Newstalk). Subject of this article is linked with senior national figures in public life in Ireland, possibly leading to a much larger story revolving around the behaviour and ethical conflicts of a dominant PR company that both advises many national politicians from all parties and also runs the national broadcaster. MoyrossLADY (talk) 23:12, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Wikipedia is WP:NOT#NEWS.

      • Comment I think it is premature to delete this article when it looks like it may be the start of a large national scandal concerning Irish PR, Politics and Media. If nothing alights in the next few weeks then delete. MoyrossLADY (talk) 11:50, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:BLP1E which specifically deals with this case. Any notability as a matter of media handling or other such events may or may not be deserving of their own articles. Outside the single event does not appear to me (as a relatively uninterested third-party) to have WP:N having considered the arguments noted above and the content of article itself. -Rushyo Talk 00:20, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Suggestion: What about renaming it to Death of Kate Fitzgerald? Her parents have just been on TV talking about depression and suicide in The Brendan O'Connor Show on national television so she has caused debate on these topics. [12]

Keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.105.241 (talk) 18:02, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Wikipedia's notability criteria state "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published non-trivial secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject" - we have the IT, the Independent, Broadsheet.ie and too many blogs to count, not including radio and tv interviews with her family. This story has hit a nerve with the Irish public and has contributed towards a greater discussion of suicide and depression.

In my opinion it's important on that basis and also because it's making many people take a closer look at the independence and ethics of our media. The story is still unfolding and may have over-arching effects for the Irish Times and the CC. Keep it for everyone who's searching for information about this story and can no longer trust that articles haven't been re-edited on request by one of the parties. I understand the issues with WP:1E but it seems to me that Kate Fitzgerald's name is so tied up with the discussion to remain relevant.

  • Keep Unless somebody can prove why this article is false, there is NO reason for it to be removed. It falls very nicely under Wikipedia criteria. This story has been reported by multiple newspapers including RTE and TG4. This is in no way a minor incident. In Ireland it has been near the most shared story on facebook and twitter. It has already made a huge change on the view towards suicide in Ireland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.36.148 (talk) 10:58, 5 December 2011 (UTC) — 86.40.36.148 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
  • Oh WOW! It's on FACEBOOK and TWITTER! It must be notable then. Please note that perhaps this "incident" may have had effects on thinking in Ireland, but that does not yet mean that the biography of this person meets our inclusion guidelines. However, as so often with recent events, very few people manage to take some distance and realize that three months from now, this will likely have been forgotten (except, unfortunately, for the people close to the deceased person). --Guillaume2303 (talk) 13:36, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment As with most articles on wikipedia. Many start from news articles that afterwhile leave the media and make home on wikipedia for those who need to find out who this person was and why the debate started. The most important thing to note is this is an important event in Irish history with regards to suicide. Oh wow...you seemed to have missed RTE, TG4, The Irish Times, Sunday times etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.203.232.66 (talk) 08:25, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Note that this is actually a first deletion nomination for this subject, previously deleted article "Kate Fitzgerald" dealt with a fictional character. I have no opinion here other than to say it's a pretty close call on the basis of One Event, vs. extensive publicity. Honest people may differ as to inclusion-worthiness. Carrite (talk) 05:47, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Unfortunately there has been an effort by one of the parties involved to close down press coverage of the issue. This entry provides an authoritative review of events and it is important that users wishing to learn about the issue or chronology of events have access to this information.

  • Delete. WP is not the news archive. - Nabla (talk) 13:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Suggest speedy close at keep, because the "discussion" is getting sour. Nominator is hunting down every IP as being a SPA and insulting others to get the article away. Better close this and start all over again in a week or two. Night of the Big Wind talk 14:04, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Almost none of the "keep" !votes are based in some policy and don't go beyond WP:ILIKEIT (with only few exceptions like yourself). In contrast, there are several well-argued, policy-based "delete" !votes. A "delete" close is not excluded here (closures are based on policy, not on numbers of votes) and a speedy close as "keep" would therefore be totally inappropriate, whatever the problems between you and the nom. As an aside, it is completely appropriate to tag SPA editors. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 14:27, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Since I started this article, this case has received considerably more attention, with Kate Fitzgerald's parents appearing on the most widely-watched tv programme last Saturday. In this morning's Irish Times, the editor took the unusual step of writing an article under his own name justifying his role in this. This article has been greatly improved since I started it, particularly in regard to her notability, but it seems that one or two editors are using this discussion to make attacks on anybody who doesn't agree that it should be deleted. I think it should be kept, but I also think that the suggestion above of renaming it 'Death of Kate Fitzgerald' seems like a good compromise. Fyodor Dostoevsky (talk) 16:10, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I don't think that challenging knee-jerk "it's in the news so it must be notable" votes is the same as attacking "anybody who doesn't agree that it should be deleted". Please, let's keep this discussion rational. You yourself are now saying that perhaps this article should be renamed, which is not something that would be necessary if this person was notable without any doubt. I have said it before and I repeat: the event may be notable (I have no opinion on that at this point), the person is not. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 16:49, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The vast majority of "keep"s have been from IP spa's, the most I have seen in a long time. This is indicative of some kind of outside canvassing. While the article is now enlarged, with much attributed to a wordpress blog, one can't escape the fact that the notability of this person is directly related to her suicide. ScottyBerg (talk) 21:04, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Just as I suspected, there has been off-wiki attention focused on the underlying article and this deletion proposal. See [13]. This would explain the intense interest from non-registered users. ScottyBerg (talk) 22:11, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • So what? It is not illegal! As long as they see this procedure as a vote, I is more then likely that most of there comments are useless for the discussion due to lack of arguments. Night of the Big Wind talk 15:53, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • No one's saying it's "illegal." It's customary to tag SPAs, and this AfD is infested with them. That's why the tag exists. I am glad, however, that you acknowledge that their comments are useless and lack arguments of substance.ScottyBerg (talk) 16:50, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • CommentAs I mentioned above, this story is being closed down in the Irish media by a powerful PR consultancy. People are therefore understandably suspicious of how this 'delete' nomination came about and whether it is valid or sinister in origin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.78.110.39 (talk) 14:49, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • And so much for WP:AGF... This delete nomination simply "came about" because this biography does not meet our inclusion criteria. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 15:14, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not really a good example. Where's the biography of Phoebe Prince? Yet another case where perhaps the event was notable, but not the person. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 16:06, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Where did I reject that??? I've stated multiple times above that the event may be notable, but the person is not. Of course, a strong case can be made to merge articles like "Death of Phoebe Prince" and "Death of Kate Fitzgerald", but with all those people here thinking that we're making a newspaper, I know a hopeless cause if I see one. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 18:16, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Just read back, my friend. I don't envy the closing administrator to dig through this mud of bad faith, personal attacks, called in friends and other misery to find the realistic arguments. Night of the Big Wind talk 19:08, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Before posting my last comment, I read all of my previous comments twice. I just now read them a third time. I don't see any comment where I opposed moving some of the material in this biography to an article about the event (whether that be called "death of" or "suicide of"). Apart from that, I agree with your comment about the poor closing admin :-) --Guillaume2303 (talk) 19:21, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Guillaume Purplebackpack89≈≈≈≈ 00:36, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — This is WP:BLP1E. Not a notable individual. Not notable before this single event, and not afterwards. — O'Dea (talk) 07:16, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a very simple issue. Kate Fitzgerald was the youngest ever leader of the democrats abroad in Ireland, this alone qualifies here under a notable figure in Ireland.

Secondly, The article Ms.Fitzgerald wrote sparked huge debate on freedom of the press and free speech in Ireland. This again is enough to qualify her to have an article on Wikipedia. Thirdly, Her death has begun a conversation that is extremely important to hundreds of people a year in Ireland. The way Ireland deals with Suicide is extremely important. The only reason this should be deleted is if you have no interest in American Politics, Freedom of speech and suicide awareness. If these do not interest you, if you believe these things are not notable, then I can understand your lack of appreciation for this article. Just from the fact that so many people fail to understand the importance is more argument for this piece to be kept. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.36.148 (talk) 10:23, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That she was a functionary in an American organization does not confer notability. Political organizers are not notable. There is no evidence that she has created any freedom of speech debate. Suicide awareness has already been increasing in Ireland in the past few years: this case did not initiate that; it has merely provided a fresh burst of discussion in the media because her story emerged because a newspaper article she wrote before her death. Finally, you cannot argue that the fact that people do not regard her as notable is proof that a Wikipedia article is needed to teach them otherwise. That is an absurd argument. — O'Dea (talk) 10:33, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Warning — Please note that editor 86.40.36.148 has entered three KEEP votes in this discussion. Two of those should be subtracted from the tally. To editor 86.40.36.148: please do not attempt to queer the discussion by multiple votes. One man, one vote. — O'Dea (talk) 10:38, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a discussion, not a vote.
  • Democrats abroad was nearly defunct before she started. If you think that Democrats abroad is an unimportant part of Irish society, then yes, you would believe this is not notable. Having this article here will educate you otherwise. If you believe there is no evidence, I suggest you read this article again and that this article should include the ongoing media coverage of this issue. I have never seen suicide awareness get so much publicity, can you tell about a similar incident that stayed in the media for weeks? Not being able to comprehend the importance of this particular death on suicide awareness would suggest a great need for this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.36.148 (talk) 10:47, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Notability outside of one event has not been shown. I really mean no disrepect, but this point is relevant - if the subject was still alive, this article would not have been written. WP:1E applies. I do not see that 'keeping the public informed' and similar arguments are relevant. Colonel Tom 11:36, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - sadly because any person's death as a result of bullying is a tragic event but this article as it stands and with the current title fails WP:1E. Most of the press coverage seems to me to be about the bullying aspect and not Kate's life and as such if there is an appropriate article then Kate should be mentioned (possibly to quite a lot of detail) in an article about bullying and/or people who have committed suicide becasue of bullying. 62.25.109.201 (talk) 12:15, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I did some heavy editing of the article to try to take out the most unencyclopeic and promotional content and I have to say that there's absolutely no notability to this. It's basically a pair of shoes named after a cartoon character that the stores have created. While the shoes might sell well, that doesn't in itself give the brand notability. I wasn't able to find anything on the internet that proved that this is anything other than a brand that sells decently well enough. It might become notable in the future, but it certainly isn't right now. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
  • Merge/Redirect content into the company's article C. & J. Clark. --Bob Re-born (talk) 21:27, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • But if we're gonna redirect, why wouldn't we redirect to Nickelodeon, the producer of the show. I would assume that more people are searching looking for that then the shoe. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 21:31, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. From what I found on the internet, I don't think this is a character that Nickelodeon actually made. It seems more like it's a series of commercials that are similar to tiny episodes, but were created by Clarks and played quite often on the UK Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon might have had a hand in this at some point in time, but Jack Nano seems to be more associated with Clarks than with Nickelodeon.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:35, 4 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
  • Additional. I did a little more digging and it seems that this is most likely a character that Nickelodeon might have helped with and heavily promoted, but is still owned by Clarks. Everything I found refers to it more as a Clarks shoe character that shows or was hosted on Nickelodeon than an actual Nick show. [14], [15][16] The first link goes to the page of the person who designed the Jack Nano webpage that used to be hosted on the UK Nick page and he describes it as a Clarks character. The second link is to the Youtube Clark channel which refers to it in a possesive manner. The third link is to a random forum site that confirms that it was only a set of commercials, never a TV show. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:51, 4 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]
  • Delete Not notable at all. No point in redirecting, as the character is not mentioned in either of the articles suggested as redirect targets, and is not significant enough to need mentioning there. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:22, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note
  1. There is no changing something; it's finished or final. For example, I forgot to include my dividend income in my tax return but what's done is done—I've already mailed the form. This expression uses done in the sense of “ended” or “settled,” a usage dating from the first half of the 1400s. (also in [17])
  2. [18]
  3. This phrase and others like it find their way in many languages and many cultures. When Queen Esther finds out that the king had already signed the documents for the destruction of the Jewish people, she is realistic in that there is nothing one can do regarding what has been done, but you can still try to do something to divert the consequences (Esther 8:8). Shakespeare had the same idea when he wrote “Things without all remedy should be without regard. What's done is done” (Shakespeare Macbeth III. ii. 12).
  4. [19]
  5. [20]
  6. In particular, Lady Macbeth's 'what's done, is done' suggests an eerie connection with the opening of Macbeth's soliloquy in Act 1 scene 7, in which he contemplates Duncan's murder: 'If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well / It .

  • According to WP:NOTDIC, a dictionary definition is "primarily about a word, an idiom or a term and its meanings, usage and history." (emphasis mine) So what we have here is the one-sentence lead about usage, a section on the meaning, a section on the history, and the creator has linked some more usage and definitions above. You see where I'm going with this? Sorry, but delete. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:28, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Really? Dictionary definitions talk about a word/term/phrase's history? I personally find that hard to believe. That sounds more like an etymology website (which in itself can warrant an encyclopedic article - usage, history, meaning etc.).--Coin945 (talk) 14:43, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Think about it this way. If you're trying to write an article about a word or term (say, "what's up"), what would you write about? There really are only so many thing you can say, and having an etymology is evidence that the article is just explaining the word. Now, for articles like truthiness, it seems that would be a dictionary def also. However, it those cases the word or idea itself has been covered by third-party sources. To complete that analogy, I don't know of many New York Times columns written about the social impact of the term "what's up". Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:58, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Possible redirect to baby shower. It's not an unheard of concept, so it might be worth a one sentence mention on the baby shower article, but only one sentence. It's basically the same thing but surrounding a puppy, so it's not like there needs to be much expansion on the subject. I'm kind of ambivalent on the redirect, so if anyone has an argument against it, I'm willing to be persuaded. I wasn't able to find anything that would be considered a reliable source to show that the term is notable, which is my biggest issue. Most of the ghits I found (and there were many) that was actually about a puppy shower were links to store websites and dozens of blogs and youtube videos. I'm not against the idea of deleting it, if it comes to that. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 18:50, 3 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Isn't the whole philosophy of Wikipedia - someone puts up a stub article, which yes, may very well be just a dic def, and then others with more knowledge come along and build on it? So yes, I think that, and have always assumed that AfD's were about an concept's sum possibility as an encyclopedic article.--Coin945 (talk) 09:11, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, that sounds nice, but even stubs need to follow WP policies. At present, (note that at this AfD I'm not judging a future article) this article is just a definition and nothing else. Now, in the future, I do think that there is the potential that puppy showers could have a great article. It would take a lot of sources, and not just passing mentions like you linked below, but I don't think the topic is totally worthless at all. Again though, let me say that I'm not judging what the article could be but what it is right now. If the article was rewritten before the AfD was up, then I would judge that. But if we tried to comment on articles at AfD based on "possibility"...well...that really wouldn't work. Everyone would have a different view of how an article might look one day, and how would we apply our policies without being able to see what we're judging? Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:20, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
THe thing is... well, if I knew that the article stood a chance, I would have been crazily editing the article to edit it up to a better standard. I expect the sum total of the current article and a list of possible sources to be enough to decide if the article has encyclopedic merit. What's the point of me wasting all this time using every single source i can find for the article only to be deleted. If I know the article has no chance no matter what I do, I wont be wasting my time. Now that I know that the article has some possible encyclopedic merit, I may choose to furiously edit the article with other edits. But without you saying that this concept is encyclopedic, I never would've done that. This is why I think it important to, right from the start, decide if the concept deserves its own encyclopedia article.--Coin945 (talk) 14:34, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can easily copy it now, or ask an admin to undelete it and move it too your userspace where you can work on it for as long or as little as you like. Now, you've got some decent stuff below, but we'll need more then just that. The Gazette reads like a blog, and it wouldn't last if that was it, and just saying that Millie (Bush?) got one really doesn't mean much in terms of establishing notability. The books are better, but even then an argument could be made for deletion because "its only passing mentions/blurbs" etc. Anything else you got? Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:46, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well..... no.. at least I don't think so.... there may very well be sources out there that that justify this article's existence. I have only included a few that I collected after a quick search. But point taken.
P.S. the whole thing with Millie is basically this: Millie is the nickname of Bush's dog (aka "the white house dog", or "the first dog" - like "the first lady"). Her puppies were given to family members of Bush's family and as a result a puppy shower was held in her homour. That's pretty much it.

Redirect to Age disparity in sexual relationships, as May-December romance already redirects to that target. Squeamish Ossifrage (talk) 19:18, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I suggest that since May-December relationship was created today, in response to a request for article creation, it is irrelevant that May-December romance points elsewhere. That redirection does not reflect a decision on the part of the redirector that this article was an innappropriate target for redirection, as this article didn't exist when the redirection was created. Geo Swan (talk) 22:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But this is just demonstrating usage of the term. We already have an article on the topic of age disparity in sexual relationships. And your own list of sources demonstrates that this is not a distinct topic - any way I could imagine splitting it out would be "woman is young, man is old," per Chaucer, but in your sources we see the term applied to relationships where the woman is older and to male-male relationships. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:07, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think you have convinced me. There is no way to differentiate between the two concepts. They are one in the same. I support a merge.--Coin945 (talk) 19:37, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • User:Roscelese I agree with you that the references Coin945 has marshalled here don't demonstrate that "May-December relationships" is a distinct topic from "Age disparity in relationships". But I suggest that this is because while these references would be useful in the Age disparity article they don't belong here, as a May-December relationship, in its original meaning, is one where the elderly partner is a fool who cannot imagine their young partner being unfaithful, even though the young partner is unrepentantly unfaithful. Happy relationships between partners with an age disparity are not May-December relationships; unhappy relationships where the older partner is not deceived about the younger partners infidelity are not May-December relationships; unhappy relationships where the younger partner is sexually unsatisfied, but is not unfaithful are not May-December relationships. Arguably relationships where the younger partner is the unfaithful partner, but they feel guilt and remorse over their infidelity are not really May-December relationships either. You may suggest this is a narrow topic. And I would respond it is a topic that has hundreds of years of sholarly and other high-brow commentary on it, and this makes it notable.

    Should this preclude a merge and redirection? Hell yes! Merging related but distinct topics can be quite disruptive. It erodes the usefulness of several of the features that make wikipedia articles more valuable than plain old world-wide-web pages.

    So long as these topics remain in their separate articles I can choose to put one of them on my watchlist, and leave the other one off. If I am only interested in one of these topics, but the articles are merged, I am going to get a lot of "false positives" on my watchlist. I am going to be advised the article has been changed, only to find, when I check, that the change related to the other topic -- the one I am not interested in.

    Merging related but distinct topics also seriously erodes the usefulness of the "what links here" button. When articles are focussed on a single topic, then the articles that link to them, which are shown to you when you click on "what links here", also have some kind of genuine relation to the topic of the article. But when we agree to shoehorn several related but distinct topics into a single article we can no longer count on the links shown by "what links here" having a useful relationship to what brought us to that article in the first place.

  • Comment The definition in the article ("A May-December relationship is one in which the age difference between the two adults is wide enough to risk social disapproval") differs substntially from that in the above paragraph. Does this suggest that the phrase is not sufficiently well-defined to merit an encyclopedia article? It appears that if the article is to survive it needs some substantial tightening up.

  • Merge (to Age disparity in sexual relationships) or keep. These relationships have been discussed in more then enough reliable sources, and so it becomes more then just a dictionary definition. I entirely agree with Geo Swan in saying that there's no way this is a neologism, and even less a non-notable one. However, I also tend to agree with Yaksar's "different terms" comment, hence the merge first. Nolelover Talk·Contribs 14:36, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion some of the material introduced into this article, since the {{afd}} nomination belongs more properly in Age disparity in sexual relationships. My understanding of "May - December relationships" is narrower than that used in some of the recent uses.

    Prior to the {{afd}} the article cited a BBC comedy entitled "May December". I think I may have seen one episode, or part of one episode, of this series. If so it clearly didn't qualify as a "May - December relationship" as the concept was used by the original 13th Century poets.

    In those original stories December was a pompous, deluded fool, incapable of imagining that his young wife was cuckolding him, and in those original stories May, while young, was capable of unapologetic deceit in her cuckolding of her foolish old husband. In my opinion, references to modern stories where the elderly partner is not a deluded old fool, and the younger partner isn't a determinedly and unapologetically unfaithful betrayer may as well go into other articles on infidelity, not in the article about "May - December relationships".

    In my opinion the original stories merit coverage in this article; critical commentary on the original stories merits coverage in this article; modern stories that faithful reflect the foolhardiness of the elderly lover, and the unapologetic infidelity of the unfaithful partner merit coverage in this article. And all other references should go in other articles. Geo Swan (talk) 02:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The article needs considerable development, both addition and subtraction. The concentration upon the recent references is a little ridiculous; there are hundreds of literary examples--a suitable variety should be added. The tile is correct. Age Disparity in Relationships is very very broad, and deals more with the Real world; this deals more with fiction. It could possibly be called Age disparity in sexual relationships in Fiction, but that's going the long way about: there's a common english phrase, and this is it. Geo asked me to comment, and I decided to write mine without look at his, and so I did until the end of the preceding sentence. I see he has said somewhat the same thing, though my understand of it is a little broader than his: it has developed somewhat between the middle ages and the 20th century: it does not necessarily imply the older man being a fool. In a broad sense, it's one of the classic themes in literature. That television should trivialize it is hardly surprising, but the whole range of meaning needs to be discussed. It's time we took this sort of topic seriously. DGG ( talk ) 06:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note In regards to this clarified definition, I suggest we dig for more sources by narrowing the search terms. Apparently (due to the concept being clarified by GeoSwan etc.) I don't actually know that much about May-December relationships but I'll start the ball rolling with this. --Coin945 (talk) 06:55, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per WP:BAND 'Criteria for musicians and ensembles' p6 ('is a musician who has been a member of two or more independently notable ensembles') and p10 ('Has performed music for a work of media that is notable, e.g. a theme for a network television show, performance in a television show or notable film, inclusion on a notable compilation album, etc.') supported by references provided in article. Article needs work but does not fail WP:BAND which was given as justification for deletion. -Rushyo Talk 16:34, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect I'd close this as a redirect, but, since there's only one voice calling for a close (the nominator) I figured I'd just do this instead. Maybe there are sources in Korean, but I can't find anything noteworthy in English media. Rushyo's point doesn't stand valid, as Yoon has only been member of one notable ensemble (see the footnote: Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases). As for criteria 10, see the annotation, which states, But if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article and redirect to that article); since Yoon has only performed in one track that fits that criteria, I don't think she's quite notable enough for her own article. A redirect to 4minute seems the most appropriate action here. m.o.p 19:53, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Disagree with the statement 'Yoon has only been member of one notable ensemble' as I'm seeing several, unless being a session musician doesn't count as being a real member of a band, which I think is a pretty WP:bold assertion. Even failing that, a redirect to 4minute would fail to appease criteria 10, since it doesn't either a) recognise the party as legitimately worthy of their own page or b) provide a meaningful redirect the appropriate article, but a completely different one instead! It seems clear in my mind the intent of that additional clause on p10 was to protect against it being used for someone with no other notes of point, which is not the case here. I make that assertion on the grounds the suggested remedy (redirect to the page of the TV show, in this instance) is clearly out of touch with this scenario. -Rushyo Talk 23:48, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: HotNews (Romanian news site) has articles on the subject in November 9, 2007 and November 30, 2011. These two HotNews articles satisfy criteria 1 and 2 of WP:AUTHOR representing significant coverage at different time periods. A simple Google Scholar search also shows that the subject's Modern C++ design: generic programming and design patterns applied is widely cited by peers per criteria 1 of WP:AUTHOR. It is cited by 646. C++ Coding Standards: 101 Rules, Guidelines, and Best Practices (C++ in Depth Series) is cited by 79. The subject has other works that are also widely cited but his most prominent work is the Modern C++. Subject also satisfies WP:BASIC with several news sources like Mediafax, Developpez, among others. Pmresource (talk) 19:09, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Nov 9 Hotnews link is an interview, which makes it a primary source and unusable for establishing notability. The Nov 3 Hotnews link is a mention in an article listing lots of random stuff in the news that day that he works at Facebook. It's basically a blog post. The Developpez article is announcement for a conference Microsoft is organizing. The only link you've given that contributes to notability is the Mediafax article. Msnicki (talk) 14:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Nov. 9 interview comes from a reliable source. Hotnews has editorial control and published by a reputable publisher in Romania. The Nov. 10 link is a paragraph with 8 sentences and is not a trivial mention of the subject. The Developpez article is an evidence that various sources from different time periods have recognized the subject. The subject's works also easily pass criteria 1 of WP:AUTHOR. Pmresource (talk) 22:37, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: if you search for the phrase "Modern C++" - a phrase almost all C++ writers and trainers use, and many practioners, he will be offered as a related search. This is the person who not only coined the phrase, but the set of idioms that are embraced as "Modern C++". A 2004 review by someone who has gone on to work closely with him concludes " it’s hard to overestimate the impact of Andrei Alexandrescu’s Modern C++ Design". — Preceding unsigned comment added by MargRhi (talk • contribs) 13:02, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This is being silly. "Modern C++" is in the title of one of his books. Of course that phrase would turn up with his name. But it's a completely meaningless phrase, like, "modern software". And the link you gave is a link to a review of his book; it's not about the author. This doesn't help with notability at all. Msnicki (talk) 14:54, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Modern C++ Design is not only his book, we also have an article on it here, on the basis of notable attention paid to it within the field. When an author manages to have two of their creations with justified articles on WP (and presumably unchallenged for meeting the notability guidelines), then I'd suggest that's a strong hint as to their notability as a worker within that field. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:15, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Obviously, you're welcome to your opinion, Andy, but it's certainly not supported by the guidelines, which make clear that notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Writing a notable book (even assuming it actually is) does not automatically make the author notable. Msnicki (talk) 15:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Alexandrescu is notable for several reasons. He is writter of notable C++ books. He is notable for libs Mojo and Loki (well known C++ libraries). Mojo is closely related of teh creation of rvalue references in the new C++ standard. He is also one of the leaders of the D language. This language will be included in the GCC suite as of 4.7. All theses achievements make Alexandrescu a well know person in the programming community. By the way, the article in english can really be improved, no doubt about that.

Consensus was established to keep List of Hot 100 number-one singles of the 2010s (U.S.), which happens to provide more info than the two existing lists because the current one won't provide any sort of analysis until after the year ends. This is a separate nomination because the annual lists in the 2000s are far more comprehensive, well-sourced and informative than this one. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 07:18, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are no (as far as I am aware) specific Wikipedia guidelines for open source software, so the article needs to meet the general guidelines for notability.

Original research by an editor who seems determined to use WP to publish his ideas. The first version of this article used his own works as the main references; now removed but out of only 74 google hits for "Pluridisciplinary Methodology" exactly one is linked with the name Nabudere as well - a book by the article's author. There is no evidence of a specifically "Nabuderian Pluridisciplinary Methodology". Fails WP:OR, WP:Synth andy (talk) 11:02, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: In the interests of fairness I'll list the following references, which the author placed on his Talk page rather than in the article or the AfD:
http://www.sarpn.org/documents/d0000510/P466_Pan-African_University.pdf: an article by Nabudere who uses the word "pluridisciplinary" several times.
http://books.google.com/books?id=LAG_bETsbGEC&pg=PT42&lpg=PT42&dq=nabudere+pluridisciplinary+methodology&source=bl&ots=d-cUuZg3Di&sig=xJv_i31P0CPO7NOyL4-b9iNlgAk&hl=en&ei=YCbaTvbFPMPq0gG564nxDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=8&ved=0CFIQ6AEwBw#v=onepage&q=nabudere%20pluridisciplinary%20methodology&f=false: the same article as above
http://www.bankie.info/content/cad.pdf: an article by Nabudere who gives a single quote from another author who uses the word "pluridisciplinary" once
http://www.mpai.ac.ug/towards.htm: an article by Nabudere, who mentions the term once only where he advocates a social science methodology which "goes beyond what is normally called... pluridisciplinary"
http://www.coreykatirmedia.com/spar-and-bernstein-bree-olsen: strange website consisting of snippets from wikipedia - and doesn't even mention this article!
http://criticalmethodologicalstudies.blogspot.com: (1) a blog; (2) written by this article's author; (3) introduces the term and mentions Nabudere in the same paragraph. That's all.
http://bitnik.org/pipermail/nettime/1999-March.txt: contains two French language articles talking about "Pluridisciplinary Music" and an unrelated English article that mentions Nabudere in passing. Utterly irrelevant.
Conclusion: Nabudere has advocated, to some extent or other, a "pluridisciplinary methodology"; there are no references where it has been formally defined; there is no evidence that the concept has any significant currency; and there's no evidence that there is a specifically "Nabuderian" type of "pluridisciplinary methodology".

I tagged this article for questionable notability in June, and no sources have been added since then. I meant to nominate it much earlier but forgot about it until it was vandalised(?) today and I realised that the correct(?) information is as poorly sourced as the vandalism. (Her alleged children were born after the sources appeared.) This woman is virtually unknown. Apparently, her only claim to notability is that for the first five years of her life she was a niece(?) of the last reigning king of Greece, who was deposed in 1973. I do not think that this is sufficient. In Wikipedia, subjects are not considered inherently notable for such purely formal reasons. The only sources for her appear to be genealogical lists. Note that research on this woman is a bit tricky because there are several Alexandras in her family. Hans Adler 18:18, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant background: Articles on one son and several grandchildren of the last Greek king were deleted this year after various separate AfDs. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark (2nd nomination) for the son and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece and Denmark for a grand daughter and links to her siblings' AfDs.

  • Redirect to Alexandra of Yugoslavia. There have been several people with this title. The most notable of these is the woman that married King Peter of Yugoslavia and she is known by this title in hundreds, perhaps thousands of sources. There was also another such princess in Victorian times and then there's the modern one too. So, we can redirect per our editing policy, maintaining the edit history in case we want to flesh out these various bios. Europe is in flux again, especially Greece, and so we should keep our options open. Warden (talk) 19:15, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article has sources and the facts do not seem to be in dispute. WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a policy-based argument nor is an appeal to Balkan nationalism.

I oppose to redirecting to Alexandra of Yugoslavia, because we are talking about two different persons. Both are great-granddaughters of George I of Greece, but Alexandra of Yugoslavia (born 1921) is the granddaughter of Constantine I, King of the Hellenes, whereas Princess Alexandra of Greece (born 1968) is the granddaughter of Prince Christopher of Greece and Denmark. Obviously, the first is more notable (because she was also the wife of the last King of Yugoslavia, Peter II of Yugoslavia), but if the later is not notable enough for her own article, we could redirect to the Marriage and children section in the article about Prince Michael of Greece and Denmark (her father), not to a second-cousin who happens to have the same name. Think about all the confusion we would create in the articles which link to Princess Alexandra of Greece. Razvan Socol (talk) 11:34, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Redirecting is ridiculous - as stated, these are completely different people. The problems with the article (sources etc) can all be solved, but, more importantly, being a bad article is not generally a reason for deletion. It is a spur to improvement. I don't think there's any doubt that this woman is notable - the niece of a monarch is certainly notable. (Or do we want to delete the nieces and nephews of Elizabeth II?) Incidentally, the nominator states that "her only claim to notability is that for the first five years of her life she was a niece(?) of the last reigning king of Greece". Er, no, she is still his niece and always will be!!! Emeraude (talk) 17:22, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    No, an article on a living person can not be improved when there are zero reliable sources on the person. And please don't use such atrociously bad rhetorics as "I don't think there's any doubt that this woman is notable - the niece of a monarch is certainly notable. (Or do we want to delete the nieces and nephews of Elizabeth II?)" Notability is a technical term in Wikipedia, and contrary to the occasional assertions by royalty stamp collectors, notability is not inherited, not even by nieces, and there is not a single guideline that says that a former king's niece (that's what she is now, although for the first five years of her life she was a reigning king's niece) is notable even when she is unknown outside telephone directories and similar works. Hans Adler 17:59, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace with disambiguation page to other notable parties and includes a (non-link) note on this particular person, since simply being the neice of someone important is not WP:Notability. If we scale the concept out to other notable people the result would be patently absurd. I would also assert that redirecting to another article where there is obvious ambiguity to be had is an inferior solution to using a disambiguation page (or at least redirecting to one appropriate). -Rushyo Talk 17:57, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No evidence of notability. --Cox wasan (talk) 18:20, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep The subject certainly should be notable, as he genuinely seems to have been one of the leading Iranian actors of the 1970s. Unfortunately, while that should mean that reliable sources exist, it may also make tracing them difficult. In English, there are at least a couple of reliable mentions of his performing in Orghast, which Peter Brook produced in Persepolis in 1971 in connection with the 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire, but reliable sources for the rest of his career are likely to be mostly in Persian and from the 1970s - however popular he was in Iran before the 1979 revolution, it seems very unlikely that he has been popular with the rulers there since. In fact, he seems to have been mainly living outside Iran and trying to make a second career as a painter for at least the past 20 years. By the way, while (judging by a very poor Google translation), the corresponding article on Persian Wikipedia seems to be no better than the current English one, it does seem to have some information that the English article doesn't. PWilkinson (talk) 12:01, 20 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the interesting history. While his article says he is famous, I still can't see the RS support for that, or sufficient non-trivial (more than passing mention) RS coverage sufficient to satisfy our notability requirements.--Epeefleche (talk) 07:50, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Relist rationale: The two comments in favour of deletion have made no attempt to advance an argument or to expand upon the nomination and appear to be drive-by comments of little merit. That leaves the nom and the one "weak keep". I'm leaving this open for a little while longer because finding sources for 1970s Iranian actors is no mean feat and I would hate to think that we were deleting an article on somebody hugely notable in Iran just because he is less well-known in the west—that would be an excellent example of systemic bias and one more stick for our critics to beat us with. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:53, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Azadi seems to have been the John Cleese of Iran - people only have to think of him and they smile. Since he fled Iran in the 1979 revolution he stopped appearing in films, so we have only old memories, video sites aplenty, blogs, and IMDB to go on if we rely on easy Google searches; clearly there must be archives from Iran, in Farsi, that would provide proper proof. Meanwhile I agree with HJ Mitchell that Azadi was a huge character in Iran pre-1979, pre-Web, pre-Google, and we should not make the silly mistake of deleting the article because we aren't good at Farsi or accessing archives in Teheran. I've added what I can - it would not normally be thought anything other than terribly scrappy - but for an expat Iranian subject I suspect it's all we can quickly gather. What I have proved, I think, is that Azadi did exist, did make many popular films, did move to the USA, did exhibit paintings, has been widely blogged, is still remembered fondly by Iranians. Can we enlist the help of a Farsi-speaking Wikipedian? Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:27, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The Orghast citations are reliable; and the fact that Peter Brook chose Azadi to perform at Persepolis does confer a degree of notability. Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:52, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Seems to me to be a leading Chinese scholar noted in China for bringing liberal political philosophy to the Chinese audience. I think we might argue there is evidence of notability via his published work. The article suggests that his Essential Ideas of Liberalism which is listed at Worldcat: Essential Ideas of Liberalism Gu, S. as Gu, S. (2003). Zi you zhu yi ji ben li nian =: Essential ideas of liberalism. Beijing: Zhong yang bian yi chu ban she. is his key work. Google Scholar lists this I think as 自由主义基本理念 and reports here GS:自由主义基本理念 91 citations. This seems a reasonably large amount of notice - notability - given GS poor coverage of Chinese Scholarship. One can find more of his work on Worldcat and then citations via GS but I am afraid my Mandarin skills are shall we say weak and I am reliant on the wonders of GTranslate but I think there seems enough for a keep.

  • Keep. Msrasnw has provided enough evidence that the subject is considered a leader in the field of Chinese liberalism.

  • Comment by nominator: I did not mean to imply the subject was not notable or that anything in the article was incorrect. I was under the impression that this project does not accept articles on a person created by that same person, not least because unless the subject is known well enough for such articles to attract significant contributions by other editors, they may tend to be very unbalanced, as their creators themselves would seem unlikely to include anything that might cast them in a negative light. After a more thorough look at WP:YOURSELF, I now understand the project’s policy is not that extreme and that the mere creation of an autobiography is not enough to warrant deletion.

  • Keep. Me too. Professor Gu Su is an important Chinese thinker and one of the leading, university-based, advocates of political reform. His work reflects this very well, as does his extensive connections throughout Chinese society. I realize creating your own pages is against Wikipedia's best practice rules, but it's not a vanity page but thoroughly merited. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.255.225.134 (talk) 12:13, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Citation alone proves nothing about the paper's notability (the citing paper either fail the "significant coverage" test or fails the fair use principle), let lone the author's. Need to find source focusing the person, but it looks like the person himself is unable to find them, there is no independent source in the Chinese Wikipedia article that has significant coverage of the person. I am unable to find independent source about the person myself (I searched articles from 2004 in Baidu news), most search engine hits are about his opinion, and his employer and the think tanks he's in do not count as independent sources. Given the person is an opinion leader (quote a lot of news articles cite his opinions), sooner or later an independent sources will write about himself. But the article, as it currently stands, fails the basic notability criteria for biographies. --Skyfiler (talk) 21:49, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Citation is what proves notability as a scholar, not sources about their personal life. Scholars , opinion leaders, writers, athletes, musicians, are notable for what they do professionally, and sources that show a person an expert show notability. The only people who are actually notable for their personal life are society figures who have done nothing in particular except being written about. DGG ( talk ) 00:45, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OR on a concept – (added:) with a definition given that is synonymous with static compilation – which doesn't appear to meet WP:N. PROD contested in August shortly after creation. Pnm (talk) 20:06, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep It needs work. Concepts like these are relatively difficult to deal with, but the way to cope with the s difficulty is to encourage work on them. The current sourcing is inadequate. The claim of OR does not seem reasonable to be: the article is basically common sense. Whether it's enough of a specific topic would be seen if someone actually did attempt to work on it, and found they couldn't. DGG ( talk ) 20:16, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    The link between bundle and static compilation is OR. The source doesn't even use the word. If a bundle is synonymous with static compilation we don't need this article, just a disambiguation link at Bundle. I don't see how the definition is common sense: in my experience a bundle is multiple pieces of software shipped together like Final Cut Studio. I'm all for encouraging people to work on articles like this, but until they can find a couple sources which directly address the topic, they should do it in userspace. --Pnm (talk) 20:41, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The concept of a bundle within software distribution is clearly notable. The issue is that it is one of those nebulous general topics, such as family or courage, though specifically for computers, which makes making a good article very difficult. That doesn't, however, change the fact that it is a notable concept. SilverserenC 20:08, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: This article gives this definition: "A bundle is a software package that contains a software and everything it needs to operate." That sounds like static compilation to me. Doesn't sound like Final Cut Studio/Adobe Creative Suite. That definition would be something like, "In software distribution, a bundle is a set of software packages which are sold together."

  • Comment: I boldly rewrote the article based on a completely different definition. Soon after I prepared to move it and discovered that, with the new definition, it duplicates Bundled software which is a disambiguation page. If the new definition stands, I'll update my recommendation to an optional merge to convert bundled software to a stub, along with a redirect. Since the appropriate course requires consensus on the topic of the article I asked the non-admin closer to reopen it. (I request relisting to find out if anyone objects to the new definition.) – Pnm (talk) 20:57, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • So, what you mean is that you want to redirect/merge this article to Bundled software and then turn that article into a detailed general overview article that discusses and links to the full articles on the various types of bundled software? If that is what you meant, then I am in agreement with this proposal, because it keeps the content, will have a redirect that directs readers to an article that discusses what they are looking for, and will also direct said readers to other, more specific forms of the overall subject.

This man appears to be notable for one single minor event, which is stealing a car. Also he impersonated someone. There's nothing else here of note. This is also an orphaned article because he's done nothing that requires note outside of the requests of Elizabeth Grzeszczyk (talk · contribs) to add more to it.

  • Keep Jonathan Kern has been labeled both a legendary con man(Reference 4) and a professional con man(Reference 6). He first impersonated a policeman at age 18(Reference 6) and has gone on to impersonate a journalist, rock stars including members of the Rolling Stones, and music producers. (References 2 and 6) Kern's most notable impersonation was of Jonathan Palmer, the former Formula One Grand Prix race car driver and former BBC motor racing commentator. Kern had taken out credit cards, borrowed cars, purchased clothing and jewelry, and rung up hotel bills all in Palmer's name.(References 2,4,5,6). I believe this Wikipedia page serves as a valuable resource to educate people about this notable person. There was already a consensus to keep the page back in September 2010. I do not understand why there is further discussion at this point to delete the page just because someone (not me) added a Career section on November 23, 2011 which is not verifiable and lists no sources. I believe the solution would be to just remove the Career section of the page. Elizabeth Grzeszczyk (talk) 15:28, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, uncited but you know that the basic detail of the career section is factual don't you Elizabeth? That, Kern has built a successful design business Shellshock Designs Ltd. - do you have any knowledge of that, or do you dispute that? As a person that has been in multiple legal cases against the subject of this article to be seen to be attempting to remove details you know are factual would appear strange.Youreallycan (talk) 19:52, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it's appropriate to mention Kern's involvement in Shellshock (with "successful" if that can be cited), but as written, the section reads like advertising copy - even if true, even without Kern's other history, most of the section doesn't look to get meet notability criteria. Shellshock gets a lot of Google hits but it's not clear to me how much of that is independent coverage as opposed to self-promo & directory listings. If the article is kept, the section should probably be pruned down to about one sentence, unless notability can be established. --GenericBob (talk) 00:35, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This page is the result of a personal vendetta and this should not be the forum for that. I added the last factual piece on career because I have known the man for years, transacted business with him, and believe that if the page is allowed to stand, it should at least have some balance in the content. JK is a man who made mistakes, went to prison, came back into society, built a successful business and became an active contributor to the community (I happen to know personally of his charitable work with young offenders which he prefers to keep confidential). The press tried to make something out of JK's escapades but they really never amounted to anything notable.

  • Good job finding this data point, but the 2,571 copies sold does not sway me much on notability grounds. I might have expected a large entertainment media company's marketing effort to launch a new pop group to have managed something more substantial, even in the face of complete indifference from the audience.

  • Weak keep - The article cites a very large number of reliable sources spanning a considerable period of time. The sources appear to only relate to individual Wachters, rather than the family as a whole, but they're all offline so it's hard to check. Nevertheless the number of sources would suggest that there is sufficient verifiable coverage in reliable sources to found an article on this topic, even if none of the sources directly address the family as a whole. On the face of it, as a result, it appears to narrowly pass WP:GNG in that even if it is a geneaology article, it's a notable geneaology (see for example Kennedy family). I'm open to being convinced otherwise by reference to policy. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:32, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (redirect?) As per WP:BIO a person is not notable by virtue of being related to someone else. And if any of these individuals are notable they need their own pages. A brief section about this family in the Bismarck article would perhaps be more appropriate. Though it's worth noting that no one with this surname is mentioned in the Bismarck article as it currently stands. asnac (talk) 09:22, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and Rename as Gottlieb Charles Wachter. There needs to be a scalpel wielded by an experienced WP editor to decruft all the peripheral family history here, but they've named an aquatic center and a Junior High school after the family, and that should be a tipper that this is a substantive topic for encyclopedic biography. I know that renaming pieces during Articles for Deletion challenges is frowned upon, but I'm pretty sure that this is the correct solution to the mystery and have a notion to get in touch with the content creator — who seems to still be working on the piece — to talk over things and see about getting this morphed into a valid encyclopedic piece. I'll do that now, actually. Carrite (talk) 16:57, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It doesn't matter how well-referenced something it. References do not in themselves confer notability, they merely support evidence of it. By the nature of thing, genealogical research produced impeccable references, but that does not make any family noteworthy. There will be a need for articles on families (e.g. the Habsburgs, the Medicis, the Kennedys even) where the family itself has its own notability in addition to the personal notability of some of its member, but this is not one of them. The individual members of the Wachters are mostly insignificant (for an encyclopedia) and I'm not convinced that any of them merits an article. Emeraude (talk) 17:34, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I have reworked the article into a biography of the Bismarck, North Dakota pioneer and patriarch Charles Wachter, with much of the genealogical material pared away and the matter of historic importance retained. Note that there is a Wachter Aquatic Center and a Wachter Middle School in Bismarck, indicative of the importance of the individual and the family. Carrite (talk) 19:40, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete While an improvement, the article still reads like an obituary and seems a bit fawning. Wachter Aquatic Center and Wachter Middle School are named that not because of anyone's notability, but simply because the land for their construction was donated by the Wachter family. Being rich and donating land to the school board does not warrant a Wikipedia article. LinkTiger (talk) 21:45, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I hadn't heard of the Wachters of ND until coming here, but the article feels entirely encyclopedic. The reliable independent citations support a well-written article about what does feel like a Notable Family (not just the patriarch Charles, though I hear what has been said above), and would like to see fair-use photos of the Wachter Warehouse at least. Well done Carrite for making the best of AfD. Chiswick Chap (talk) 21:49, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree with Carrite's movement. With respect for the people debating this and hope that the topic will survive, I amicably submit my comments.

The Wachter name is all over Bismarck. Besides the Wachter Aquatic Center, schools and the warehouse, there is a street called Wachter Avenue that stretches across the south side of the city. The former Wachter warehouse itself is a downtown landmark.

In the original article, I only cited 5 newspaper sources that concerned Gottlieb Charles Wachter directly. Several more of the newspaper sources and the books I used mentioned him, as well. The North Dakota State Historical Society has copies of these newspaper sources on microfilm in their reading room. There are several other newspaper sources as well that I didn't cite. The details seemed sundry, but they covered everything from small political situations that Charles Gottlieb Wachter was involved in to business happenings and family events posted on the society page.

The economy of North Dakota is booming, and Bismarck continues to grow with it. Part of that growth is dependent on the remnant of the Wachter family. Even after the dissolution of the family empire, Wachter family members still invest in and develop land there. As part of Charles Wachter's legacy, it makes the topic both notable and timely.

I understand that I overdid it in my first try at a Wikipedia article. While I refine my efforts to write good pieces on Wikipedia, I appeal to your good judgment to keep this topic alive and open for future improvement. Gbristol (talk) 22:33, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond that, I'm not really seeing a keep argument that goes beyond general notability and the quality of the vast majority of the arguments leaves a lot to be desired from a policy point of view. Since no credible rename or merge target has appeared I can really only see one outcome here - which is that this is a figure notable for one event only and that this event is not so transcendent to overcome BLP1E.

WP:BLP1E - person only notable for one event. This is about a British politician who was deselected as a candidate before the 2005 election due to controversial comments he made about Catholicism. Being a candidate itself is not notable, and I don't think anything in the rest of his biography gives him a claim to notability. The only significant coverage of him I could find relates to the Catholic controversy. This article could be renamed to 2005 Conservative party Catholic controversy or something similar, but I'm not convinced it's even notable enough for that, given the relatively brief period of coverage. This seems to have been a transient controversy with few lasting consequences for anyone other than Mr. Hilton himself. Robofish (talk) 01:32, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep Seems at least somewhat notable, especialy considering the election controversy and the world record. However, as a BLP I think this article could be more balanced, with additional info about the world record, and perhaps personal life. As is it reads more like a newspaper story, and (I would think) does not adequately sum up his life. Millermk90 (talk) 05:36, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This man is notable for one thing only, that he was at the centre of a political controversy. I agree that consideration should be given to renaming the article so it's about the controversy rather than the man, but actually the controversy was in major part of his own making, so I would lean on the side of putting it under the man as that is where people are most likely to look for information. Hoping to be helpful here, I have edited the article so that the essentials about the controversy are retained, but removed the Guinness reference, and the reference to subsequent failed local authority candidature, which are irrelevant. There were elements in this article which hint at vanity, and these have been removed or toned down. asnac (talk) 08:47, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as BLP in its revised form. Clearly there are people genuinely notable for one thing alone (Guy Fawkes) and innumerable people who have become notable on the back of a single incident that gained media attention. But in general Wikipedia policy is clear that that BLPs should be biographical in tone and give so far as possible a balanced picture within the constraints of privacy. Either we should construct an article as Millermk90 suggests, or rename and recast as Robofish suggests. Like the nominator, I'm not convinced of general notability but I would reconsider if a biography reflected a more general notability essentially, I suspect, as a campaigner on the political relationship between Britain and Europe. --AJHingston (talk) 09:35, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peterkingiron (talk) 19:12, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Seems he's no longer politically active, and no evidence of further writing on political themes.

Holding a Guinness Record hardly makes a person notable in the Wiki sense. 13afuse (talk) 19:27, 3 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
