Heart of the Ocean[edit]

Is a prop used in Titanic really worthy of its own article? This article barely has any references and most of the page just consists of its usage within the movie. I would say a redirect to the Titanic movie page perhaps. TRLIJC19 (talk) 23:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hard to believe that a movie prop could be notable, but the six references to reliable sources, some of which provide quite significant coverage of this item, indicate that it is. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 01:14, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's a prominent movie prop from the highest grossing film of it's decade; it's not at all surprising to me that there's enough backstory and RS commentary to sustain an article (i.e., meet the GNG). This actually goes from the origin, through parodies in popular culture... not at all a non-encyclopedic approach to the topic. Jclemens (talk) 06:54, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep Iconic prop from a notable film. Stating "barely has any references" seems more a decent reason to add them through regular editing if needed, than one to delete. We have no problem on WIkipedia with articles on fictional elements, as notability is found through multiple availability of sources addressing a topic directly and in detail, and not on whether the topic so covered is fictional or not. And while a merge and redirect is sometimes suitable for some such, a merge that overburdens a target is not. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 07:05, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

America West Airlines Flight 564[edit]

Supposed UFO incident. Clearly written from a particular point of view and sourced to two extremely unreliable source.

Delete Unless it can be shown conclusively that this incident received sigificant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Not fringe sources, not crank sources, but reliable sources.Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 01:58, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Though the article may need attention, the incident is supported by complete Albuquerque ATC communications, both with the plane and NORAD. The flight details and pilots' names are known (Tollefson and Waller, being described as very experienced). The time is accurately known, the location fairly accurately. The unidentified craft itself, is unusual in terms of its estimated size, and the co-pilot's drawing, showing an unconventional craft, indicates his support for the UFO hypothesis. The background of the researcher, Walter N. Webb, is fairly well-known. On the down-side, the information on the case seems largely based on his report: Walter N. Webb, Final Report on the America West Airline Case, May 25-26, 1995, Fund for UFO Research, Washington, D.C., July 1996. There are indeed widely circulated UFO sightings based on completely fabricated claims, but my impression is that this is not one of them. JMK (talk) 15:35, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Needs multiple reliable sources to remain as a stand alone article. Also clearly a case where UFOlogy sources disagree on what was sighted. - LuckyLouie (talk) 16:35, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — NICAP (above source) is definitely reliable, but most other sources on Google I found were not WP:RS. The other external link in the article is a YouTube link, and probably should be removed per WP:ELNO. Pretty much a complete lack of reliable sources except NICAP. Google Books show possible self-published or unreliable works. No establishment that this incident meets WP:GNG. HurricaneFan 25 15:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Pure fantasy with no reliable sources, and fails notability in any case.Petebutt (talk) 02:07, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge useful content into UFO sightings in the United States, or an even better target List of alleged aircraft-UFO incidents and near misses. Although this particular article does not have many redeeming qualities, given the numerous articles we do have on individual UFO sightings I suspect many of the delete !voters above were a bit hasty in their judgment here. This incident is worth a mention in one of our list articles on the topic. -- œ ^™ 08:54, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I'd prefer with merging into the articles stated by OlEnglish above, that makes sense. Meh, you get on this History Channel you are part of human knowledge I guess. I don't think this deserves a stand alone article though. Of course the UFO sightings in the United States and List of alleged aircraft-UFO incidents and near misses articles need attention too, but it makes sense to put the problems in one place and deal with it there.

- Weak Keep - I'm not convinced that all of the sources identified by MQS are usable, but there are enough of them that are to push this over. -- Whpq (talk) 15:28, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm really not the least bit concerned that IMDB does not have much on this person,[1] as A) he appears to have moved away from acting and producing, and B) we all know IMDB is incomplete and considered unreliable. And with respects to Alessandra Napolitano, what they decide to do at fr.Wikipedia is what they do... not what we do... the linked discussion appears to be justavote and devoid of what we would consider policy and guideline based discussion. The google-translated version nomination seems incomplete and whiffs of WP:IDONTLIKE in attitude toward a reality show personality and developer of a website itself the recipient of significant coverage showing notability. So discounting what happens at fr.Wikipedia as immaterial to such discussion at en.Wikipeda, and keeping in mind that en.Wikipedia we apply OUR guidelines and policies and not those of the French, we HERE instead try to determine if we have enough sources available to show a meeting of WP:GNG or WP:CREATIVE for his works, even if the sources are non-English, just so long as sources deal with him directly and in some detail. Paris match, Issues 3076-3083 from 2008 speaks about a project involving Dennis Hopper. Kuzeo (September 2010] confirms his part in Nice People, tells us of how he was producer of the first poker show in France, was creator of the tournament when first launched in February 2005, and that he served as Director General of Partouche Interactive until June 2009. He was interviewed by iGame Magazine (September 2010) about PokerXtrem.fr and his role in its creation. Kuzeo (October 2010) also interviewed him about the poker site and his role in its creation and development. Ozap (September 2010) also speaks toward his part in Nice People and his role in creation of PokerXtrem. Numerous other sources also give coverage for his part in the creation of the show and website.(more) And just 4 days ago, Le Figaro (November 2011) offered us more coverage of him in relationship to the poker website and the tournament he created. And from the French article, we also have Le Figaro (June 2009), VSD (April 2004), and Le Parisian (April 2003). How much more coverage does he require to eke over the line from obscurity to being just notable enough for en.Wikipeda through years of in-depth coverage, despite the strange French twists on notability determination and lack of actual discussion? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 22:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per individual meeting OUR criteria for inclusion as a French entepreneur who has received significant coverage for his works in multiple secondary sources. With respects to the nominator, what the French do at their Wikipedia, does not dictate what we do here at en.Wikipedia. Here, we use OUR policies and guidelines to discern if we have enough sources dealing directly with him to satisfy OUR notability guidelines. Through my research, I believe OUR criteria are met, and so I've been working on the article... fixing new editor Aesv97's lamentable trans-wiki of the article from fr.Wikipedia by fixing citation format, adding additional sources, correcting errors created by the mis-translation to English, removing hyperbole, and making the whole thing properly encyclopedic per OUR manual of style. What began as a poor copy of the French version, has now become neutral, encyclopdic, and properly sourced.[2] God bless the French, but they use a skewed set of guidelines and policies... similar to but not quite the same as ours... and per OUR policies and guidelines, I think the GNG is now shown as being met. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 04:38, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I find Michael Schmidt's arguments compelling, especially in view of the references he was able to find and the improvements that he has made to the article. Peter Chastain (talk) 06:08, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kamen Rider ZO[edit]

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

Of the only three secondary sources currently cited in this article, two make no reference to the film in question but only to a character in the film, and the third is simply a list of film titles. A search for reliable, secondary sources reveals an insufficient amount of significant coverage. This article fails Wikipedia's notability guidelines for films. Neelix (talk) 22:06, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This was a film released nationally in Japan and made its way stateside by means of a Sega CD video game, and it should frankly not matter that the film's protagonist is the subject of the sources in question. The fact of the matter is that some aspect of the film has appeared in reliable sources in the past 3 years, because finding sources regarding the film itself from 1993 is nigh impossible. Due to the age of the film, we must rely on the other criteria set forth by WP:MOVIE to determine the notability, and the fact that its main character is still prevalent in the Japanese media should be enough to show that the film in its original form is notable. I found reliable sources that relate to the film. Why the hell are they not suitable just because they don't happen to directly be about the film, but the film's main character?—Ryulong (竜龙) 22:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aliaa Magda Elmahdy[edit]

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

This is WP:BLP1E to the letter.

This woman posted a nude picture of herself and “publicly challenged Egypt’s existing social conventions.” That’s hardly a significant event. There has been significant coverage of her in reliable sources but these reliable sources cover the person only in the context of this single event. She is likely to remain a low-profile individual after this media flurry, so per BLP1E, we not have an article on her. Toddst1 (talk) 22:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. From WP:BLP1E "If the event is significant and the individual's role within it is substantial and well-documented—as in the case of John Hinckley, Jr., who shot President Ronald Reagan in 1981—a separate biography may be appropriate. The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources.[5]" This event is having a significant impact on the Egyptian election campaign under way. Her role within the event is substantial and well documented. RMCampbell (talk) 23:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Posting a nude photo of one's self normally wouldn't be a significant occurrence in much of the USA, and nearly all of Europe. But, in the context of Egyptian culture, the international media coverage shows this is, and expressly describe it as a noteworthy event. "She is likely to remain a low-profile individual after this media flurry" is WP:CRYSTALism. Also, per RMCampbell, the persistence of coverage and political effects show that this person is notable. Alessandra Napolitano (talk) 01:35, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She and her blog have become subject to global news reporting. Moreover from her local/regional perspective her actions carry a different meaning and have legal and cultural ramifications.--Kmhkmh (talk) 15:01, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The event had a notable political impact, Elmahdy also received a number of death threats while several Islamic law graduates filed a case against her. Brandmeister t 15:16, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Of course this woman is notable, just as Mohamed Bouazizi is notable for just one act, just as Asmaa Mahfouz is notable for her blog, just as Ethar El-Katatney is notable for her tweeting, just as Wael Ghonim is notable for one interview on Dream TV. Elmahdy's act has inspired solidarity demonstrations in Israel, articles in the Arab media (e.g. http://www.alarabiya.net/articles/2011/11/15/177270.html ) some 200 news articles in English[3] and thousands of followers on Twitter. I can't beleive it's even being debated.BobFromBrockley (talk) 15:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:BLP1E falls under the category of "Presumption in favor of privacy." I would agree with NOM if the subject were requesting removal, but quite the opposite is the case: she seeks to publicize the issue, not to keep it private. Also, this story, as others have noted above, is garnering international news attention (which is how I found this AfD) and factors into a much larger story and movement of note, which is likely to continue growing and becoming progressively more notable. There may come a time for deletion, but that time is not now. --KGF0 ( T | C ) 09:07, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable actress; this was probably written as a memorial piece. She apparently appeared in only four episodes of The Guiding Light, and was seen once on The Match Game; that appears to the the extent of her career.

unsourced neologism, see WP:NEO and WP:MADEUP, google search doesn't turn up much. Karl 334 ^{☞TALK to ME ☜} 20:17, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable neologism. For the few instances where it is used, it's probably just invented on the spot, rather than a reference to an identified music genre. Excluding WP and its mirrors and pages where "alternative" just happens to precede "bubblegum pop" (usually in a list), I found a whopping six ghits, all incidental mentions: here, here, here, here, here, and here. The content itself seems to be an amalgam of WP:OR and pure fiction, such as the phantom BBC references. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 22:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a non-notable neologism. I put out about 100 pop-punk releases over the course of my labeldom, I know of what I speak. Making this a redirect to Pop-punk would be reasonable, but I doubt this is a valid search term. Carrite (talk) 04:19, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now having actually read the piece, this uses "alternative" anachronistically. Original essay. Carrite (talk) 04:26, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Unsourced and unsourceable personal opinion of someone messing around. As I !vote, it also has crap about rap artists being a prime example, as well as a reference to Rebecca Black, which is just as unsourced as the original content. However, even if you look at the original version [4], it makes baloney claims such that "Prime examples of Alternative Bubblegum Pop bands are Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and the The Beatles." Led Zep? lol. Yes, Pink Floyd recorded Bike (song) in 1967, but its ridiculous to claim its one of the "first" alternative bubblegum songs. If there really was a legitimate alternative bubblegum pop genre, it would be populated by bands post-Nirvana-breakthrough bands like Dressy Bessy or Best Coast, not a Syd Barrett bad trip.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 06:28, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I tried to find something to redirect it to, but nothing seemed appropriate. I note that this article is a contested prod, and that the related articles Corinthian Microstars and Corinthian Headliners actually were prodded recently. The argument for contesting the prod of this one was "I personally think that Wikipedia should have a page on the CorinthianProStars because there is not much coverage on the internet relating to this subject and as an avid follower of the ProStars it would be a shame to see it go." Not a valid reason to keep, and in fact "there is not much coverage" seems like an admission of non-notability. --MelanieN (talk) 15:41, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Whole stuffed camel[edit]

Is this article sourced? Yes, but the sources don't demonstrate that it's actually a recipe, nor do they demonstrate notability. This may be a hoax, but it's not a notable one.

Keep. The sources cited in the Snopes article are enough to show notability and more can be found by searching. It's well-known, and whether hoax or not, there's no reason not to keep this article.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – It gets about as substantial coverage as individual dishes would in reliable sources, presented as both fact (Food Cultures of the World Encyclopedia; Let's Visit Iran p. 17; The Bermudian, Volume 42 [Libya, 1971]; Gourmet, Volume 52, Issues 7–12, p. 44 [Saudi Arabia, 1992]; State, US Dept of State, Issues 219-229, p. 13 [Somalia, 1980]) and an urban(?) legend or joke (Never Try to Teach a Pig to Sing: still more urban folklore from the paperwork empire; and my personal favorite I'm OK, you're a pain in the neck p. 83). It also gets plenty of other mention in less reputable sources indicating stuffed camel somewhat well-known. I found it helpful to search gbooks for "stuffed camel" chicken. The term "whole stuffed camel" might be descriptive, but the more notable term seems to be just "stuffed camel." JFHJr (㊟) 01:35, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is clear, skeptical, as well documented as it is reasonable to expect. To me, the strongest argument is that I came to Wikipedia fully expecting to find such an article, which, when read, disabused me of the notion that it was a serious recipe, but included enough information to account for my having heard of the thing. Ortolan88 (talk) 04:10, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Department of APECE, University of Dhaka[edit]

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

Contested redirect. Academic department of questionable notability. Google search on "Department of APECE" "University of Dhaka‎" shows only 7 unique results out of 20 total. No significant coverage from independent sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:03, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proper search is requested to you. Google Search on [Department of APECE University of Dhaka] shows About 1560 Results. Quotation marks you used, gave you fault result. Hope this helps. --Rashtab (talk) 19:23, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, quotation marks in search terms narrow the focus to the specific phrases one is looking for. In discussions like this, the specific searches are more relevant. However, in fairness, since several of your search results use an abbreviation of "Department", I did a search on "Dept. of APECE" "University of Dhaka" and only got 63 unique results - again, outside of primary sources, there is no significant coverage from reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Mike, "http://apece.univdhaka.edu/". This is a reliable source.And Google searches aren't actually big factor. Contact Aditya Sir. Contact informations are there at the website --Rashtab (talk) 20:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, as the main website for the department, that is a primary source. Please read the reliable sources guidelines. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:22, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Another Point, For example, Wikipedia search on Department of Computer Science shows there are wikipages on such articles from Oxford University, Toronto University, Durham University etc. So if this article on APECE Department is being considered to be deleted, all other such articles here at Wikipedia must be considered to be deleted. --Rashtab (talk) --Rashtab (talk) 20:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for why that is an invalid argument. However, most of the articles you mention have been flagged for various problems, but their notability is not as questionable - a search on "Department of Computer Science" "University of Oxford" shows nearly 249,000 results, while a similar search for Toronto shows 204,000. That's a remarkable difference to this article, which is why it was redirected, and then nominated when you wouldn't accept the redirect. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're giving much attention to the Google searches. and the main thing is, the page Department of APECE, University of Dhaka is from a University in Bangladesh. Bangladesh is not so Developed country and the Native language here is Bangla(বাংলা). So, our internet database in English is not that strong. So, Google Search can't give you proper result. And it's not a false article. Come, visit Bangladesh; if you have any doubt. I'm a student of University of Dhaka. --Rashtab (talk) 21:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't attribute things to me which I did not say. No one is claiming the article is false, or that the department doesn't exist. The question is whether it's notable enough for its own article. You have yet to offer anything that shows notability - just existence. 21:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Delete The article contains no claim that this department is doing anything beyond any department in any university. Wikipedia is not the place for placeholders for each year's syllabus on a B.Eng degree. Nor do Google searches on full name or the abbreviation appear to turn up anything beyond confirmation of existence. AllyD (talk) 19:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For more information plz visit "http://apece.univdhaka.edu/" .. And the Chairman of APECE, Dr. Subrata Kumar Aditya requested to create the page. --Rashtab (talk) 20:04, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was going to suggest a redirect to University of Dhaka, as I guess was originally done, but in fact this is an unlikely search term. Anyone looking for this department is going to look under "University of Dhaka", not under "department of...". To User:Rashtab, thank you for your strong feelings. Please don't be discouraged if this article is deleted; Wikipedia has rules for what kind of articles we can have here, see WP:NOTABILITY. If this article is deleted, I suggest you work on expanding the article University of Dhaka.

Deletebriefly per WP:TOOSOON. Did some searches on this article sourced only to its "official website"... a Facebook page. Seems that distributor The Community Channel has not yet been connected with this project,[5] and adding the creator or country with the title (to hopefully weed out the Al Gore false positives) give results only in non-RS.[6][7] While the project may well have been created as an answer to the Gore film, reliable sources have not yet decided to take note.[8] Let it come back after actually screening and receiving some coverage.

...ahhhh. A new search parameter. I'll do some digging and report back. And am alwys willing to change my mind. But just to let you know, per WP:RS and WP:SPS, official or not, user edited networking sites such as Facebook are not considered reliable sources toward notability... nor are press releases or special interest websites.

  - To enlighten... as they usually lack editorial oversite, blogs are generally considered non-RS... though there are exceptions.

Comment As the article is simply WP:TOOSOON, incubation for a few weeks may be a reasonable solution.

And with no fanfare? What do you mean? It will be deleted anyway.. because its not well written enough? If so perhaps you could lend your experience to the piece? I'll post RSs here as they appear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.33.115.194 (talk) 00:07, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not because it wasn't well written, but because the hoped for reliable sources did not come forward. A "no fanfare" deletion from incubation is based upon artcles there already having been discussed at AFD. The processes in place there give editors time to address issues, but incubation is not to be used as permament strorage for articles that are not improved. We do not maintain unsourcable content in mainspace on expectations or promises of coverage. Places such as the incubator or a user's draft space are where improvements take place for topics that are not yet ready for mainspace. And incubation is intended only as a temporary reprive... where if an article is not corrected to address the concerns of an AFD, it will eventually be deleted. And as for my "experience", I take pride in being able to improve articles that face deletion, and have a decent track record for doing so.... but my rescues are based upon actually having sources, and I do not find them in this case. I understand your angst, and offer a solution that does not mandate immediate deletion. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 02:52, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Changed from delete per fact that we now have a reliable source that confirms assertions in that article.

Consider it a reprieve. I am aware of all the non-Rs discussing the film, but it was only the actual confirmation of its imminent airing in a reliable source that pushed it just over the top for me.

BJP youth wing protest against Wikipedia's map of India[edit]

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

The article describes a single protest (disclosure: I moved it from dispute to protest) rather than a dispute. If, at some point in the future, it moves up to the level of a dispute between wikipedia and the BJP, then we could legitimately have an article on that. But, since we don't know if this will have any lasting significance, the current article does not satisfy WP:EVENT. The only point of interest here is that the protest happened at a wikipedia conference and we shouldn't be navel gazing. regentspark (comment) 13:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There should be lots of stuff on various map disputes which have caused furors - including, but not limited to, a PRC postage stamp showing all of China in red -- except for Taiwan! The Chile and Argentina stamps showing conflicting Antactic claims, etc. This article, however, is far too limited in scope dealing with a single event with a relatively small group of participants.

Rework and rename to an article on the Restricted Zone (India). While the article is too much bound to a single event, there is an encyclopedic topic hiding in there: the notion of a Restricted Zone that may not be depicted with a reasonable degree of accuracy. I could not find this described in any other article, perhaps because I did not know where to look, but I think simply because the content is not there. Given such an article, the protest might well be represented there by a paragraph or two. --Lambiam 00:31, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and develop instead a section on the mapping law in Jammu and Kashmir. This has affected other international publications ... the most recent issue of The Economist on my iPad has an article about water issues in South Asia, one of which is between India and Pakistan (surprise! What won't they fight about?) over the tributaries of the Indus in that region, and an accompanying map ... with a note from the editorial staff that the print version in India can, under Indian law, only depict the region as Indian rather than divided by the Line of Control. And it's not the first time this has happened, and the last time they ran an editorial about how silly this is several weeks later. Daniel Case (talk) 04:03, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this matter is relevant to at least three distinct subjects, Wiki Conference India (2011), Jammu and Kashmir, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (a fourth might be Criminal Law Amendment Act (1961) and a fifth Censorship in India. Covering it in a central article seems sensible. Rich Farmbrough, 18:51, 23 November 2011 (UTC).
Comment - editors seem unaware that redirect and merge is a keep, and most delete editors seem to be proposing keeping some of the content, which might require attribution preserving. Rich Farmbrough, 18:55, 23 November 2011 (UTC).

I for one am not suggesting a redirect and merge. I am suggesting that there may be room for two or three sentences in another article, done from scratch. This article should be deleted for the reasons stated. BTW, I got "told off" for adding the Censorship in India category to the thing, although it seems pretty obvious to me. - Sitush (talk) 19:04, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think my main point was that if this is not considered suitable for an article, there should be a redirect - external places already link to this title for attribution at least. Whether the "two or three sentences" are done from scratch or GFDL attributed is pretty much secondary, although I would describe it as a merge in either case. Rich Farmbrough, 18:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC).[reply]
Rich, don't belittle the opinions of others; when I say "delete", I mean "delete". There are other ways to preserve attributions for GFDL concerns, such as how WP:BOOMERANG (see talk page) was preserved when the original incarnation was deleted. Tarc (talk) 21:09, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as an article on the Indian map controversy - an article specifically discussing the impact of this 1961 law on maps covering the restricted zone. Cf. the other examples noted above affecting the Economist and other publications in India. This is a notable part of life there, and cannot be easily merged into existing articles (Line of Control, Kashmir dispute, and the articles Rich notes above all should link to it). Details about the event at the conference should merge into the conference's article. – SJ + 22:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- Written by the 2009 Nobel laureate Herta Müller, recognized body of work; The Nobel site's entry for the author lists them all, and additional coverage by AP & Reuters exists in English, and presumably in Swedish, German, and Romanian.

Keep – What has changed since the "Keep" at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barfüßiger Februar? -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:40, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing has changed and that's exactly the problem. Article topics need their notability to be established. None of those articles has done this since the last AfD. These books still fail WP:GNG. None of these books has shown that it satisfies one of the notability criteria for books. I acknowledge that Herta Müller is a praised novelist. However I do not see that she satisfies WP:NBOOK criterion 5. Thus notability of her books need to be established through notability criterion 1. I do not see that any of the books being the subject of the articles I nominated here satisfy this. Furthermore I do not see the point of these articles. What information do these articles convey that the list of works at Herta Müller#Works does not? As I see it these articles are just content forks. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 15:02, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Also worth noting that others in the "also nominating" list were also in the April 2011 batch of nominations which also resulted in Keep consensus. These prior AfDs should also be linked here. AllyD (talk) 18:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Given the nominator's acknowledgement that "Nothing has changed", I'm inclined to think that this debate should be closed as a repetition of the April 2011 nominations that resulted in Keeps (unless there are some here which weren't part of that previous nomination list, that is).

Comment by nominator Herta Müller received 24 awards in 30 years. Granted, I am quite impressed by this as this is an achievement. And I do not want to downplay this in any way. However I still cannot see the encyclopedic value of these one line articles. This information is just a fork of the information in Herta Müller#Works, where it fits quite well. In which way does this kind of content forking improve the encyclopedia? Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 23:10, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep The nomination seems to violate our deletion policy: "It can be disruptive to repeatedly nominate a page in the hopes of getting a different outcome.".

Delete this one, and consider deleting Don Hickman (newscaster) as well. Both pages were recently created, probably as memorial pages (he died this month). About the only references available are obituaries. Those obits do describe him as "one of the most recognizable people in Springfield", "the Walter Cronkite of central Illinois", etc. But there should have been more coverage during his lifetime if he was truly notable. The only in-depth coverage of him I found, aside from obituaries, was this article about the five candidates for mayor in 2003.

Privy digging[edit]

This is an incomprehensible, repetitive, poorly written, weird point of view, self-sourced article with a smattering of information that could also be called amateur archeology or scavenging. Essentially the pet topic of a single editor who frequents this and similar articles, one of which is also nominated here.

So (please take a quick look), we have Dump digging and Historical digging and Privy digging to merge together, and then we most likely need to merge this into one of the carefully-written articles on Archaeology. Really want to keep all three? I doubt it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:32, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- This seems to be about a variety of poor quality amateur archaeology, akin to treasure hunting. Several of the holes in photos appear to be deeper than is safe.

Comments: Since I am the one who started this AfD, I wanted to reiterate what Chiswick Chap said... there are three of these articles purporting to be about amateur archeology, all of which are essays that I would, at minimum, hack down to a few paragraphs in total. In short this article may have a fine, upstanding basis for an article, but in practice it is rambling mess. I know what can happen when I am an expert on a topic... I tend to ramble. But these rambling articles need to meet a stern and serious attempt at curtailing the fluff and keeping the few gems of encyclopedic content. In other words this article is like a pit full of worthless garbage with three unique bottles of interest hidden. I tire quickly of sorting through someone else's garbage; however, the irony tastes especially keen given this article's topic.

One of the unfortunate problems is that there is not a respectable article about archeology to which these gems might be set into without a lot of cleaning, polishing, and (metaphorically speaking) hauling off a lot of night soil. I like to saw logs! (talk) 04:27, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, User:Alpha Quadrant may be right, there are a few gems in the THREE ARTICLES, and there are some decent references out there on Google. But I like to saw logs! is right on the amount of WP:OR garbage in all three articles, which still read as WP:ESSAYs.

I suspect we need to WP:TNT the privy and its two companions, and start over:

Historical digging[edit]

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

This is an incomprehensible, repetitive, poorly written, weird point of view, self-sourced article with a smattering of information that could also be called amateur archeology or scavenging. Essentially the pet topic of a single editor. When PRODded, the owner of the article removed the tag and made no attempt to correct any discrepancies. The owner of this topic should find a personal blog for this theory about digging up trash. I like to saw logs! (talk) 06:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, Merge - well, yes, there really are too many WP:Content forking articles in this WP:Walled Garden about amateur Archaeology - the Garden includes Privy digging, Dump digging, as well as the current article, and clearly this is (at least) two articles too many, so we should consider all of them together. The three articles have been created (Privy digging in October 2009) and have largely been edited by a single user who has edited no other articles since he (I presume) created Historical digging in August 2009. (Dump digging was created by another user but largely taken over since September 2009.) The three articles have very few references between them, and most of the paragraphs (and many whole sections) have no citations at all. There are quite a few (correct) external links wrongly buried in article text: these could be moved to inline citations, but in any case they are not adequate sources for the large amount of WP:ESSAY claims made.

You are correct Chiswick Chap as I only work on articles on which I have knowledge and interest. If you would like to suggest some constructive feedback for what needs to be accomplished I will attempt to address your concerns.

Thank you. The articles, if they are to survive, need to be supported throughout by citations to reliable independent sources (neither Wikipedia nor yourself). The case needs to be made that 'historical digging' is indeed more than just unsupervised amateur archaeology, again by citations. Material that is unsupported needs to be removed. Further, since there appears to be considerable overlap between the articles listed above, and there is currently so little material actually supported by citations, we need to reach consensus on whether there need to be so many articles, whether just one would be better, or indeed if any coverage is needed at all outside major articles like 'Archaeology'. Chiswick Chap (talk) 07:30, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Merge I reiterate that Wikipedia is a work in progress, with an intended emphasis on 'progress'.

Keep I see this as the more general article of the three ; there is some duplication, which can better be handled by a little rewriting into WP:Summary style than by merging, because there's substantial specific content also.

Deleting a stub or a borderline notable person makes very little difference one way or another, but this is the sort of article that is important.

Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the effort, and I love rescuing articles, but I'm not convinced on this one. Are those sources even talking about the same thing? I suspect they're just describing unrelated cultivars with similar marketing. The article needs a reliable secondary source to connect the dots. Melchoir (talk) 10:37, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thank you. From the sources (and similar ones if anyone needs more) it is clear that a fruit tree hybrid very similar to the 1909 cross is still in existence, along with the name, and the descriptions certainly match up. Unless there are preserved specimens from 1909, however, we'll probably never know exactly what the original hybrid was - but then, that's the same position with dozens of fruit varieties today. all the best Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:45, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article's current description is: red, large, tastes good, and flesh may be yellow or white. There could be thousands of cultivars that fit that description. Anyway, the Pacific Monthly source doesn't mention color or size. I really think the article is a case of original research. Melchoir (talk) 11:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's not fair, the description is Peach x Plum hybrid (with one site proposing Peach x Apricot, seems like a mistake) with a simple description of the fruit. Of course we can quote more descriptive text if that is what is needed. I've done no OR, everything is by finding, quoting, citing and summarizing sources, which is what we are supposed to do, I believe. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, plums? They're not mentioned in the article or the sources...

The OR is simply in drawing the conclusion that the sources are talking about the same plant. Melchoir (talk) 12:41, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not minded to argue as I feel that Marjaliisa is probably right, this material should be a new section of Peach, so I'd be happy to go for a Merge, really. But since you ask, how does one ever know that when a word is used, it refers to one thing and not another? W.V.O. Quine posed the problem in philosophy, and it has no easy answer. As far as not-quite-ordinary-looking peach-like (or maybe peach variety) trees go, however, if nurserymen call them Peacherines and we can cite them on that, we have to believe them, that's what we do on Wikipedia. Your philosophical servant, Chiswick Chap (talk) 14:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not such a hard problem for Wikipedia: that's where secondary sources come in. If there were a book that said "The peacherine was developed in 1909 and remains popular in Australia a hundred years later", then that would be the end of it. Melchoir (talk) 18:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It says in the article on Peaches that a Nectarine is a kind of Peach, so the Peacherine can't be a Peach/Nectarine hybrid. Maybe merge this with Peach? The Edible Garden ref seems to indicate that a Peach/Apricot hybrid is called a 'Peachcot'. --Marjaliisa (talk) 11:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps that would be appropriate, a new section there; but perhaps we shouldn't assume it is a kind of peach without direct evidence. ~~That can't be right. A Nectarine is a Peach x Plum hybrid, not a type of peach as such. So I think Peacherine is effectively a back-cross, we can hunt for evidence if that is needed.~~ Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:38, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to a new section of Peach. I really appreciate the work that Chiswick Chap has done, and find the whole subject interesting. However, at this point, all four of the sources in the article are promotional advertisements selling something marketed as a "Peacherine". One is a 1909 magazine ad and three are contemporary plant sales websites. None are reliable, independent sources needed to establish notability for a freestanding article. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 16:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I can live with that, but I think the sources are sufficient to demonstrate existence of the variety for a new Section of Peach, so I'm suggesting a Merge as well as Redirect (I've struck my 'Keep' above). Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:15, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Seems to be a well known song. The Russians played it for the North Koreans at a concert the BBC thought noteworthy enough to cover. "The ensemble's repertoire included colourful numbers such as wartime songs "Just War", "Song of the Soviet Army" and Russian songs well known to the Koreans". So, its well known to the Koreans. It was part of the official Victory in Europe celebration, and become a popular war song after that. If someone who speaks Russian could look around for how many books with songs in them feature it, or what is taught in college level textbooks for music, it's probably there.

Fumi-e[edit]

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

Move material. Delete this article which tries to introduce into English a Japanese word, unnecessary to understand the topic. Article fails to demonstrate sufficient English notability for this word. This can be explained as a practice to uncover Christians by demanding that they step on an icon of Jesus or Mary. Or induce Christians to refrain from what they thought was sacrilege. Student7 (talk) 00:39, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Move where, pray tell? This isn't a Japanese word for a standard English concept - there is no equivalent because it is a specifically Japanese concept, and one mentioned in most accounts of the Christian purges. Take a look in Google Books and see how often they are discussed (they are a preoccupation of Endo Shusaku, for example). --Gwern (contribs) 00:53 21 November 2011 (GMT)
Keep – Easily passes WP:GNG. Did you even check book results? And it's not that it's "trying to introduce" anything into English; it's that we don't have the term "step-on-picture," and all scholarship mentioning its use leaves it untranslated. JFHJr (㊟) 00:58, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. ehcpuser: Actually I did not write that article, but, I can say about that: You say, "non-notable software product"; ehcp has been downloaded more than 65000 times, installed in thousands of webservers (http://www.serversnstuff.com/product-review/ehcp/). Is this a non-notable product ?. I really got tired of writing something on wikipedia, about ehcp. Probably this will be the last bytes that I write to wikipedia. You say, "lack of encyclopedic significance". You said it before too. There are hundreds of articles in wikipedia, which is only a product in market, just like Plesk. If Plesk is a product, ehcp is also a product. if echp has no encyclopedic significance, also does Plesk. I think ehcp article (and links, such as in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_hosting_control_panels), are tried to be deleted by persons who does not want ehcp to rise. You say "re-creation of previously deleted content". This is absolutely not true. Previously, I had added some content about ehcp.

Delete IF there is any in-depth coverage by reliable sources (other than how-tos and forums), it isn't in the article and I'm not seeing it among the Ghits either. --Tikiwont (talk) 11:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for a few different reasons:

This article is quite similar to the original EHCP article, which was deleted with deletion upheld at review.
It is overly promotional in its tone, which is normally an addressable issue. However, in this case there are practically no third-party sources to go on to get an honest evaluation of the product, bringing me to my next point.
The product is not notable due to its lack of coverage in secondary and tertiary sources. According to WP:PRIMARY, secondary sources should be used to establish notability. There appear to be none, so the product can be deemed not worthy of mention in Wikipedia.
No reliable sources not directly affiliated with EHCP have been found. According to WP:RS, blogs and forums not reliable.

EHCP's wikipedia entry contains nothing but truthful information.
— Earnolmartin

The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth—whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true.
— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Verifiability

All of those features exist in his software, and you may download and test it yourself.
— Earnolmartin

Wikipedia does not publish original thought: all material in Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable, published source.
— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:No original research

Great software, and the article should stay.
— Earnolmartin

Wikipedia editors are a pretty diverse group of individuals, and potentially, any subject or topic may be liked or disliked by some editor somewhere. However, personal preference is not a valid reason to keep or delete an article.

If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.
— The Wikipedia Community, Wikipedia:Notability

"Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material.

Please define reliable. There is no better source of information than from first parties (people who use the software). That is how it's always been. Why should a third party be deemed more reliable than users? This leads to problem as the rich control the media. They don't like projects like these which threaten the establishment... IE CPanel charging people to use open source tools. Would it be OK if I started a website and left a review for EHCP? Would that be considered a reliable source? Would that then keep the page from deletion? You don't need published sources to verify content. I've proven myself as a user; thus, I can vouch for the page.

Coverage of this organization is limited to a singular reference to Huffington Post, and Google News returns no results. The weight of the two presidential awards appear insignificant, as the Daily Point of Light Award has been given to over 1,000 community groups and the Obama award has over 2,000,000 recipients. Due to its lone source in the Huffington Post, the subject fails WP:CORP#Primary_criteria, criteria 2 and both additional considerations of WP:NONPROFIT, and WP:GNG.

Comment We need reliable sources to prove these claims. No offense, but it's easy to claim that not many groups are youth-led or that they've had influence at the UN, but we need reliable sources to prove that these are real or exemplary enough to merit an article. For example, I could claim that NASA has sent a pony into space, but I'd have to provide sources in order to prove that it actually happened and that the experiment was noteworthy enough to be included on Wikipedia. A silly example, but the premise in both situations is exactly the same: you need reliable sources to prove notability and all claims. Please see WP:RS to verify what is considered reliable sources. Coming on and saying that the group has done this or that and saying "keep" does not prove notability. This is not decided by a vote.

Delete I was unable to find any additional sourcing outside of that provided in the article. The organization is mentioned a few times in the HuffPost article, but certainly nothing constituting significant coverage. Furthermore, let's look at these awards in terms of why they are given, as opposed to how many people they are awarded to:

The President's Volunteer Service Award is given to groups or individuals based on their own self-reported hours of community service, and therefore, is not inherently selective or prestigious.
Daily Point of Light Award is given to orgs on the following criteria:

Community needs and solution — Activity must meet a community need or concern and serve those who are disconnected from the larger community.
Connections building — Hands-on service that results in building connections between the community and those who may be isolated from it.
Ongoing involvement — To be eligible, an activity should be at least six months in duration. One exception is the category of disaster relief. Nominations that do not meet these criteria may be held for later consideration.
Impact — Demonstrated real impact from the activity. How many funds were raised? How many people were impacted by the nominee's service?
Innovation — Activity should reflect innovative or unique approaches to solving serious social problems.

From that perspective, the Points of Light Award actually seems decently predictive of notability. However, there really isn't any coverage of the organizations activities per WP:NONPROFIT or WP:ORG, and no general coverage of the organization per WP:GNG. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 00:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Additional research should be done in this topic, and the key leaders that lead this organization.

Comment: Saying things show up in Google doesn't bestow notability. Showing links to reliable sources (WP:RS) shows notability. Also, that recognition might not grant notability unless it was in a situation where it received notable news coverage and that recognition was given because of work done for the organization. If it's for something that they did outside of the KCTW, then that doesn't count because notability isn't inherited from the people who run or support the company. In other words, the recognition would have to be pretty special to give notability. I want to again emphasize that you need to show reliable sources. This is not decided on a vote- it's decided on the weight of the arguments that each person presents. In other words, signing up for an account just to vote on this debate (without giving reliable sources to back yourself up) doesn't really accomplish anything.(Not trying to be mean, just trying to make sure that you know how the AfD process works.)
