Augustus William Hare[edit]

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

Delete. Not notable. This fellow was the son of a WP:NN. He married one of 40 cousins of some obscure noble (but with a bio). He wrote several non-notable books. He is related to several people with bios in Wikipedia, who themselves, are barely notable.

He was sent by the non-notable widow of a non-notable knight to school. Okay, one of the schools was Oxford and he was a tutor. Along with maybe, what 40,000 alumni and several thousand other tutors? He was pastor of some church. (What was called then "a living" since the incumbent could do as much or as little as he liked and get a stipend from somebody. It was considered the lowest end of the upper class). A nephew whom he never knew, was named after him, and, in turn, is also barely notable!

This is the second nomination. The first was not made by me nor did I comment at the time.

keep—i didn't participate in the first discussion either, but on reading it, i find the arguments put forth there convincing, and feel that nothing has changed since then to make the subject less (or more) notable. if he's good enough for the Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature, he's good enough for wp.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 00:12, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per ALWL. A more than adequate number of significant sources was produced at the last AfD; I don't understand this nomination. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 02:24, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—a pretty minor historical figure, but there's enough secondary sources to satisfy WP:GNG. Citation added. Regards, RJH (talk) 04:21, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer[edit]

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

Dante and LuLu both have stand alone articles at Dante Falconeri and Lulu Spencer - this is an extention of that under the claim they are a fictional "supercouple" - however the FOUR sources provided are all fansites dedicated to US daytime soap operas.

I just did a news search, a book search and a general web search using different terms - but the most worrying issue was there were no online sources citing them as a supercouple, the very scope of this article, apart from a few stray soap opera fansites.

Because they have not been mentioned by any sources inline with WP:RS and no publications seem to tag them as a supercouple - what is the point in housing an article on them if primary unreliable inuniverse sources discuss them.

What is worse is that only ONE source provided mentions them being a supercouple.

Other issues are that the article is another recount of in universe plot information - the very similiar recount of plot featured in there stand alone articles. This page cannot be merged if it already exists in other articles and is a branch of from two other poorly sourced fictional character bios.. which is what they are. Hense why this needs to go in my opinion. RaintheOne ^BAM 23:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I stumbled across that page a week or so ago, and couldn't even bear to look at it. It's a mess, ineptly sourced, nearly all WP:OR and poorly written (though that, obviously, is cosmetic and could be fixed if the article was otherwise solidly sourced, which it's not). I'm very glad you brought this here. There's a couple other GH-related pages I think should go on the block for similar reasons, but I'm still pretty new around here and I don't feel comfortable listing articles on afd without more edits and time under my belt. --Ella Plantagenet (talk) 21:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per A10. When you strip away the fancruft and excessive WP:PLOT recapitulation, what you are left with is unnecessary duplication of material covered by existing articles for the individual characters. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:26, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to SCORE International#Current and past classes. I can't find any significant coverage about this class of motorcycle for racing. If there is coverage about this in more specialist magazines or books that can be presented here, then I'll reconsider my position. -- Whpq (talk) 21:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This makes sense, several articles such as Baja 1000 and Baja 500 should be updated to remove their "mirrors" of the class lists if this is the outcome. nprice (talk) 01:17, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Baja 1000 or Baja_1000#Motorcycles. The Baja 1000 article has 10x the traffic of Baja 500, so I assume that should be considered the main article. Score Class 22 already has an entry, so no need to merge. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 13:46, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BIO. Sorry, Torneditor, but Wikipedia is not a place for people to write about themselves and their families - for that, there are sites like Myspace and Facebook.

This appears to be a duplicate listing for the Royal University for Women. School is clearly notable, but I don't see anything in the current listing that needs to be merged to the existing article, so perhaps speedy delete under CSD A10 would be appropriate, or a redirect if it's thought that this is a likely variant title.--Arxiloxos (talk) 00:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete. Per A10, Arxiloxos has it right. I think redirect is not necessary for this title, but "Ruw", which currently redirects here (and was the original name of the article before being renamed by someone else), should probably be repointed to Royal University for Women. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 16:09, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Minor league managers may not be inherently notable, but this one is. Full profiles in El Universal, The Columbus Dispatch and The Tennessean could be used for expansion and sourcing, for just a few examples. He's also received several prominent awards as a minor league manager, including PCL Manager of the Year in 2007 and Southern League Manager of the Year in 2003, and was twice selected to coach in the All-Star Futures Game (the article says that he was Venezuelan Professional Baseball League Manager of the Year in 2008, but I haven't been able to confirm this yet). Oh, and he led Nashville to the PCL championship in 2005, so he's got a notable team performance under his belt as well. Trout-slap to Alex for obviously doing no research whatsoever before nominating. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 15:57, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - If I am reading the El Universal article correctly, he seems to meet WP:BASE/N by virtue of managing in the top Venzuela league. But in any case, he seems to have enough coverage to pass GNG. Rlendog (talk) 18:34, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The European Geopolitical Forum[edit]

Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. News sources I've found have been trivial (i.e. referring to individuals connected with the organisation rather than about it).

Weak Keep This guy is a major league executive, not a minor league executive. As scouting director of the Tampa Bay Rays, he gets a lot of media coverage and he's made TV and radio appearances. I see subject-matter experts as having more than inherited notability, but I'll leave that for others to debate. — NY-13021 (talk) 01:08, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Failing to meet a specific notability guideline never supercedes meeting WP:GNG. His notability is as a scouting director, with source citing his opinions at [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Also coverage in books [7][8]. Im sure more offline sources exist.—Bagumba (talk) 21:05, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Former minor leaguer, now does scouting for a major league team. Fails presumption of notability on WP:BASE/N grounds.

Unnecessary Deletion Recommendation It may not be well known in your circle, however it is extremely popular news source for thousands of Indigenous in Indian Country. With article being published weekly, it deserves to be relevant in wikis history. I am a regular reader of the network and was thrilled when I learned that a page had been created. I as secondary school teacher allow my students to utilize wiki as a credible source, unlike many institutions who find it not as scholarly. Wikipedia can not delete a page based on lack of "Coverage". Read their news, see their stories, it is relevant and pertinent to our society and should be represented in our online encyclopedia.

Thank You L.Lightey — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.221.75 (talk) 22:47, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be a little confused in your comments. It is precisely our insistence on reliable sourcing that gives us any claim to be a credible source. If we didn't have that requirement then no competent teacher would be able to recommend Wikipedia to their students. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Nothing in Gnews, Gbooks, Gscholar. Few Ghits, none useful as WP:RS sources to evidence notability. Could find no evidence of the alleged connections to the World Health Organization or International Labour Office. Simply addressing notable issues does not make the newsletter itself notable. If anyone can find substantial, secondary sources that suggest notability, will be happy to evaluate and change my mind, if warranted. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 17:19, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the references used in the context are independent of the subject and a little Google research revealed more about the subject than it is presented in the article.[17] The author commented below, which seems like it is not "Autobiography".

Comment: Looking at the other entries in the Reverbnation chart, I'm surprised to see no notable artists there. Almost all, if not ALL, of the entries in the chart are obscure artists/bands with no local notability in Bangladesh. I'm not sure how Reverbnation creates its list (is it a social network?). But inclusion into this list is no proof of notability as an artist since no notable artists/singers of Bangladesh are included there. Perhaps no real music band/artist from Bangladesh cares about this website. --Ragib (talk) 23:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: He seemed to have followers around the world. Well I've never heard of him. I also found he claims to avoid local media.[18] I also found his recording label is not notable. [19].

Delete As a author i am hurt and i request you to delete it. Everyone in the world has a fair chance to be on wiki and all admins do here is bully people and only allow people who come on page3 and don respect people who have influenced so many life in their countries.

There's no need to be hurt. This deletion discussion is not in any way a reflection on Zayed Hassan's worth as a musician, but is simply based on the fact that nobody has produced any evidence on which to base the article's content. There doesn't seem to be any clear evidence in English on the Internet, but if you know of any reliable sources, such as books or newspapers, that have significant coverage of him in Bengali then please identify them here. They don't have to be available online. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So we can say it passed majority of the notability guideline. Please be informed that I am not author of this article, but I am have enough contribution on this article. I have googled about the subject since the first time I watched it. Hence I am more concerned on this dispute as the whole claim sounded very much intentional or decisive to me. Kindly can you also share with us, how we came to know about this [27]. It will surely help us clearing up the purpose of the claim. Please don't take this discussion personally.

Kaldari (talk) 19:47, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
keep—ick! these people are icky. however that's not the issue. first of all, the find sources template books link shows 5 books besides the authors which discuss the term. admittedly, most of them are just admiringly noting it, but this one has some material that's encyclopedic and could go into the article. also, there's at least one other scholarly paper besides the one cited in the article (@Kaldari: which does in fact talk about it) that talks about it, admittedly not at length, but some. that being said, i see no reason to oppose a merge and redirect, which could have been done by ordinary editing rather than bringing it here and forcing me to look through those slimy pickup artist books.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 19:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I saw these refs myself alf.laylah.wa.laylah before I opened the AFD, however a thesis is still self-published (until it gets turned into a book) and the other book contains a trivial mention. However IMHO these don't meet WP:GNG or WP:NRVE--Cailil ^talk 20:08, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

that's an interesting point about theses, which i haven't thought about before. i would argue that a thesis is not self-published once it's approved by its committee and accepted by the university as part of the requirements for granting the degree (as this one has been). the next step after that is to deposit a copy in the university's library, which is clearly a publication of the thesis. this whole vetting process is outside the control of the author, which seems to preclude it being self-publishing. it's always acceptable to cite theses in academic papers and books, so probably it should be at wp too. anyway, like i said, i don't think this is any kind of obvious case, and we just disagree on something that reasonable editors can disagree on. maybe we don't even disagree so much since you propose merging as acceptable, and that's fine with me too. it's not necessary to get consensus at an afd before merging, though. it's super easy to just merge and replace an article like this with a redirect.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 20:21, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kenyan invasion of Somalia (2011)[edit]

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

Stub article does not meet WP:NOTABILITY's minimum standards. The "invasion" in question is a reference to Kenyan troops crossing the southern Somalia border to pursue Islamist rebels from the Al-Shabaab group. This operation is a) brand new (it was just reported on today); b) has only been covered by a few news sites; and c) is described by those same news outlets as "Kenyan troops pursuing Islamist militants" or some variation thereof, not as "Kenyan troops invading Somalia". Note that it is quite routine for troops from neighboring countries (particularly Ethiopia) to cross the undefended parts of the Somalian border for military purposes; see, for example, some of the various such border crossings reported on the War in Somalia (2009–) page. This stub thus fails WP:PERSISTENCE since "notable events usually receive coverage beyond a relatively short news cycle", something which this border crossing reported on today for the first time has not done. Likewise, "events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article." Also note that the only such recent "invasion" of Somalia that was actually characterized as such -- i.e. the UN-sanctioned Ethiopian intervention of 2006-2009 -- has no separate wiki article devoted to it; it is instead covered in the context of the War in Somalia (2006–2009). I therefore propose either a deletion of the stub or a merge with the War in Somalia (2009–) main article. Middayexpress (talk) 18:24, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is clearly a notable event in Africa's military history and international relations. We don't delete articles about notable events just because they're also covered by newspapers (or whatever your reason is for citing that policy). Deterence ^Talk 20:21, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep—it seems to me that notnewspaper is notapplicable. that guideline seems to discourage first-hand news reports on breaking stories, which this article does not contain. notnewspaper refers us to WP:EVENT to gauge the notability of recent events. that guideline tells us that As Wikipedia is not a paper source, editors are encouraged to include current and up-to-date information within its coverage, and the development of stand-alone articles on significant current events. on the other hand, it's possible for reasonable editors to disagree here about whether the event is notable, but i don't think that it can be decided on the basis of guidelines alone. also, wp:persistence, cited by nominator as reason for deletion, does say That an event occurred recently does not in itself make it non-notable. (i'm not cherry-picking excerpts here, since i'm assuming everyone's going to read the guideline). the nominator's point about the word "invasion" is well-taken, though. should the article survive the afd, i support moving it to Kenyan incursion into Somalia (2011), unless future events moot the point.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 19:31, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FTR, I think the suggested name sounds sensible. Orderinchaos 14:37, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The official name of the operation is apparently Linda Nchi. So if it is indeed notable and the page survives the Afd, then "Operation Linda Nchi" is obviously what the article should be renamed to like the other similar operations in the List of military operations. Middayexpress (talk) 23:33, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As something that only happened today, I think an article is premature. Firstly, Wikipiedia is not a newspaper. Secondly, and more importantly, I'm not convinced the event meets our inclusion criteria for events. No lasting effects have been established, and the scope and coverage of the event cannot really be identified yet. I would suggest that the article is deleted, to allow time to pass before we make a judgement on notability. As it only happened today, we could probably also suggest that WP:BREAKING advises that we wait some time before creating an article, to prevent a poor perspective or undue weight being put on an event. See below. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 19:55, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable event in military history and international relations. Obviously. Although, the article could do with some more content, that is a reason for expansion, not deletion. Deterence ^Talk 20:18, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No it isn't. As explained above and can readily be observed on the War in Somalia (2009–) article, border crossings of this sort are actually quite routine in that part of Africa. It's the UN-sanctioned. three year-long Ethiopian intervention of 2006-2009 that's a notable event in Africa's military history and international relations. And even that doesn't have its own article, but is instead discussed in the context of the War in Somalia (2006–2009). Middayexpress (talk) 20:27, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that we can make such an assertion that this is clearly a notable even in military history.

Delete ~~and merge into War in Somalia (2009–).~~ Discounting the trash talk of the offended party, this is at best an incursion. If Kenya decides to conquer and take possession of Somalia, and reliable sources term it an "invasion", then we can start to think about a separate article. Neither of the two marginal sources provided call it an invasion. The only, um, 'source', that is given calling it an invasion is a tweet by an unknown person quoting the Somali ambassador engaging in some trash talk. They chased some criminals across the border who have kidnapped western aid workers, and it's an "invasion"? Puhhhlease.... First Light (talk) 21:57, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Those who have !voted "keep", please re-read the article. I've copy edited, so that the article is actually based on the sources.

First Light (talk) 22:59, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

thanks for the warning, but the deletion of an article shouldn't depend so much on the state it's in, but on notability according to guidelines. even violations of npov are reasons to edit, not to delete. i think that the nominator and perhaps others are misunderstanding this as well as wp:notnewspaper, and my keep was based on the sources, not how they were used in the article. anyway, your editing looks good.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 23:20, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If your keep was based on the sources, why didn't you change the article to correct the outright lies that were in it? Did you not even read the sources? It was an "incursion", not an "invasion". An "incursion" in that part of the world is hardly notable enough for an article, which the sources would have shown you that it was - contrary to both the title and most of the article. So yes, when making a decision at AfD, you need to actually read the sources to see if the article meets notability and common practice with such articles on "incursions". (And my comment, a 'heads-up' to clueful editors and admins, was as much a "warning" as the incursion was an invasion.) First Light (talk) 00:55, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

maybe you didn't notice that i was the first editor in this discussion to suggest that the word incursion rather than invasion be used? i read the sources, the sources convinced me of the notability of the subject as well as the misapplication in my opinion of the policies cited in the nomination. only the existence of sources and what the sources say are relevant in these discussions, so i didn't feel any urgency in editing. you seem to be upset that i described your comment as a warning, and i'm sorry if that's the case. i didn't mean to insinuate anything negative by it. i just meant that were advising people to be aware of something. this action is commonly described as "warning". also, why does the part of the world where the incursion happens matter for notability?— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 01:07, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because there have been other incursions that were part of the Somalia conflict that don't have articles, but are part of the main Somalia conflict article instead. The editor who nominated this for deletion pointed that out in his nomination statement. In fact, incursion is not accurate. Somali military sources are calling it a joint operation with the Kenya military. In other words, they were invited there by the Somalia military. "Incursion", at least according to Merriam-Webster, is "a hostile entrance into a territory." They were invited. It wasn't hostile. An accurate title, at least according to those increasingly bothersome reliable sources, would be Joint Kenya-Somali military operation (2011). I have no upset regarding you calling my comment a "warning". On Wikipedia, many editors are used to "warning" in the context of being called out for vandalism, personal attacks, etc. See WP:Warning. I wanted to be sure that other editors would take my comment at face value, rather than the value given it by another editor. First Light (talk)

ok, i didn't mean to give your comment a value. also, i don't really care what the article is called. incursion seems accurate to me, because they're entering into a territory and they're shooting at people in the territory, which seems hostile. you seem to be saying that incursions must be hostile towards the political entity legally in control of the territory. both merriam webster and oxford english dictionary seem to be silent on this point. if you want to move the article to your suggested title, that is also fine with me. i'll drop it now, but i stand by my original point, which is that i think the article should be kept, and that wp:notnewspaper doesn't apply, for reasons i explained above.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 03:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep just because western media is less interested in Somalia does not mean we have to ignore it as well.

Keep 78 deaths so far, most likely in total thousands of soldiers mobilized, and organized forces should be enough. To those who say Ethiopia's incursions did not merit an article and therefore this shouldn't, I don't know whether this is true, but if it is, make an article if it deserves it! This one does not hinge on that one. To those who say that it is a joint venture, that appears to be true, but it also seems that in the beginning the TFG was not aware of the situation, based on their initial response, so the present title should suffice. Most verily, 'tis Metaknowledge! 02:39, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. From what I can see, this situation has been basically a country having to extraterritorially enforce criminal law in a neighbouring lawless state due to the impacts upon itself. The Ethiopian situation is even more complex as the Ethiopian government has vested interests in the outcome in Somalia which explain its repeated interventions, and there would be some merit in having an article on that aspect, as there's certainly not a shortage of literature on it. Orderinchaos 14:32, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that's not the situation at all. The Kenyan army got involved with the operation at the behest of the Somalian military and even signed an agreement with it for the purpose. The Somalian army has made important gains on the Islamist militants over the past year, managing to wrest control of Mogadishu. The Transitional Federal Government was looking to stamp out the insurgency before its interim mandate expires in August of next year, so the TFG basically capitalized on the hostage-taking situation to press its claim. Kenya's Minister of Defence who helped spearhead the operation is also himself an ethnic Somali, so the incursion for the most part has always actually been a Somali-led affair. Of course, none of this was apparent on the 16th when the story first broke and I nominated the article for deletion. Middayexpress (talk) 23:28, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This is the first ever military exercise carried out by Kenya. Kenya is a major African nation in many ways and this event will be is a significant point in the history of the people of Kenya. Wikipedia is not for Americans only. This event is very note worthy for the African reader of wikipedia. 05:44, 21 October 2011(UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Collinsakala (talk • contribs)
Keep, but rename Clearly a notable event, given it's the first military action of this type engaged in by Kenya, and both its causes (the Al-Shabaab movement kidnapping people in Kenya, which is fairly new for them) and consequences (re the famine). I'm in Australia yet had casually heard about this on no less than three media sources today (ABC, NPR, BBC). A new name which reflects WP:NPOV and the facts on the ground would be a good idea, however - it's not an invasion as an invasion according to my dictionary involves subjugation and occupation, which isn't evident here. Orderinchaos 14:27, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The East Africa-wide food crisis is obviously not a consequence of the brand new coordinated Operation Linda Nchi; it was caused by the harsh drought that was itself precipitated by consecutive missed rainy seasons. Al-Shabaab has also denied responsibility for the kidnappings. But it looks like it may be responsible for them after all since the militants' recent pullout of Mogadishu and successive territorial losses seem to have been at least in part caused by financial difficulties i.e. the insurgents appear to be running out of funds, so they're now resorting to kidnapping foreign tourists and such for ransom. Middayexpress (talk) 23:28, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Several of their hit songs were revived by many artists. For instance, Dahil Mahal Kita [29][30] was made into a Vilma Santos movie theme song here (newspaper). This song was revived by Ogie Alcasid. Bakit Labis Kitang Mahal was revived by Lea Salonga here [31][32] and Dingdong Avanzado here [33]. The song was even made into a movie of the same title (blog with scanned paper movie poster). Their hit songs continue to be hit songs by various artists every time these are revived. It's hard to find reliable online sources on them right now because most of those reliable sources have been published on paper long before the internet and scanners became popular.

Strong Keep They repeatedly topped national charts in the Philippines, a lot of their songs have been revived by younger artists, and they're considered classics in OPM rock. The only real problem is their heyday was during the 70's, the 'hippie decade' of the Philippines, which makes finding online sources difficult. A problem shared by other music performers from that era like Cinderella (not the American metal band), Asin, Hagibis, Juan de la Cruz Band, and Hotdog. And yes, the fact that their name isn't that extraordinary makes searching difficult. Googling for individual songs, however, will give you a better idea of their notability. -- Obsidi♠n Soul 03:26, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: He does not pass the WP:POLITICIAN. As per point 3 of WP:POLITICIAN, just being an elected official for a political office does not mean he/she is notable. And this person has no significant coverage on anything. There are more than 600+ members like him. It does not mean we create wiki pages of everyone. If he was a central member of party along with this post or if he had any major contribution or if he had any significant coverage as I have mentioned, then I would agree as well.

I would like to differ: in fact, point 3 of WP:POLITICIAN does not apply to Adhikari as he was elected to Nepal's highest legislative entity. Point 1 of WP:POLITICIAN applies to Adhikari which states, "Politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a national, state or provincial legislature. This will also apply to those who have been elected but not yet sworn into such offices." --Bhadani (talk) 06:35, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And, yes. If there are 600+ members like Adhikari, we have to create pages for each one of them. For example, if there are 100,000 villages in Nepal, we will have to create pages for each one of them. We are here for this purpose only. --Bhadani (talk) 06:54, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, Nepal does not have 100000 villages, India definitely does! nepal has more cities nowadays. keeping these aside, I would like to add he was not elected to any legislative entity. Nepal does not have a constitution as of now. he is only a constituent assembly member.

The Constituent Assembly is currently the national legislature of Nepal, and the reference proves that the subject is a member, so passing WP:POLITICIAN.

This article was PRODed based on lack of notability (fails WP:GNG, but the deletion proposal was contested. However, after studying the added reference and looking for Google News, Google Scholar, and Google Books search results, I still believe that this article does not satisfy notability criteria. Most of the searcht results are related to the original announcement by the H2 Logic-led consortium. No media coverage afterward. Search results by Google Scholar are also limited. One of the latest (and one of the best) results is published in Polish in 2009 [34]. However, this does not add any development compared with the original announcement and is quite promotional itself. It is also remarkable, that the project website is dead (h2pia.dk) or says nothing about the project anymore (h2pia.com).

Knowledge Grid[edit]

Well, not really sure about this one Lots and lots of hits including an article in CACM suggest that this is real; however the current version focused entirely on one Chinese researcher, assuming that he's even writing about the same thing, is not the way this needs to be written.

Oh sigh, yet another "grid of wonderfulness". It looks like two professors use this term, one in Italy and one in China (plus their students, apparently). They have been doing it for several years since 2004 or so (when the term grid computing was trendy). One vendor uses the term inside a product. Not sure if that still qualifies as a neologism or not. The first two definitions seem close, while the third is substantially different. I also question the capital letters. The book title of course would be a proper name, but we generally do not have articles on each book unless it is clearly noted by independent sources. If this article is not about the book per se, then of course there is undue weight to the book as it stands. The product name could be considered a proper name, but the general concept certainly should not be in upper case if, as it says, "various Knowledge Grids[sic] exist in society..." More than one implies not a proper name. For the proper name of the single grid of all knowlege in the world, I would liken to Semantic Web but that is not mentioned at all here. A search on Wikipedia reveals that Resource Space Model is even worse, about one chapter in Zhuge's book. A web search turns up a http://www.knowledgegrid.net/ a web site for the group in English and http://kg.ict.ac.cn/ in Chinese and English. I would propose my usual, that we beef up the articles on the concept topics and reduce the speific forks. In particular the following:

Merge Resource Space Model into Faceted classification
Merge a short summary of Zhuge's research into Grid computing
Merge a short summary of Talia's work into Data mining (??)
Move Knowledge Grid to redirect to Knowledge grid
Convert to a disambig page pointing to the three or four articles where the variants are discussed

W Nowicki (talk) 20:41, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Additional information: User:Hzhuge seems to imply it is associated with the Chinese researcher. Looks like a single-purpose account used just to create the Resource Space Model article. From the talk page seems like also created Semantic link network which was speedily delete in 2009 as copyright violation. No edits since then, the rest are from unregistered users. W Nowicki (talk) 21:36, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There indeed seem to be two efforts using this term, which makes them somewhat messy. Judging from Google Scholar, one can consider them notable: [35] (the Cantarro/Talia article has 300+ citations, the Zhuge book 200+ citations). However, I don't feel that the Talia effort fits well into the Data mining article, which is already a bit too large and cannot cover all efforts on data mining in grids. On the long run, I'd like to split even more parts out into separate articles (largely removing the text contents of section "Notable uses", replacing it with a shorter summary) and instead elaborate more on they key data mining tasks such as cluster analysis and outlier detection. It might then make more sense to split that out into a separate "Data mining in grids" article (and add other efforts there, too) that could be linked from the See-also section and/or notable use. --Chire (talk) 08:14, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. from an IP that worked on the aforementioned Resource Space Model article: Digital ecosystem and Cyber-physical system#Cyber-Physical Society also seem to be related to User:Hzhuge and have WP:COI: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 52#Resource Space Model.

Delete Someone's got to take a stand here. There's no strong indication that this is more than a one-person project. I'm happy to adjust my vote if someone shows up to defend this article. --Kvng (talk) 14:00, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there is evidence that each project has a fair number of students and even a few visiting professors or collaborators. And publications like CACM are fairly well refereed so trust that they are reasonable to mention somewhere. Which is why I already did some of the work proposed above. Thus a delete of this article would not be much of a loss, except perhaps to attract another attempt to recreate. Still think a disambig might make sense if someone tries it as a search term. W Nowicki (talk) 20:58, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I noticed previously that while the main Zhuge has lots of citations, almost all of them are from his own group/students/collaborators.... A13ean (talk) 15:08, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The basic article--which is by Cannataro, not Shuge, has 333 citations in G Scholar. Others of his works on that topic have over 100.[36]. I suspect the emphasis on Zhuge here may be inappropriate and the article may beed some major rebalancing. DGG ( talk ) 02:11, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing WP:GNG. The lede suggests the article is a dictionary definition (but it doesn't appear to be). The bulk of the article appears to be about a proposed software system, with no indication it was ever built. We have many pages on grid computing, but the article doesn't appear to describe it's relationship to any of them. There are many references (none directly linked), many of which share an author and most of which appear to have achieved their references through citation circles.

I argued for a relist at the DRV because of the banned nominator and the spas that !voted led to a tainted discussion. In this untainted discussion my !vote is certainly redirect to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. I want to say that I very strongly disagree with claims made above. This is not a "significant topic". It is a fan-site for My Little Pony. This is not "very well-cited". It is in fact sourced to the site itself, to its Alexa Ranking and its Domain Tools, and to a couple of passing mentions in proper mainstream media. There is in fact no evidence whatsoever of in-depth coverage in independent third-party reliable sources cited in the article, and as far as I can tell from my own searches, this is because there is no such coverage to be found. No matter how many opinion statements we see from interested editors who wish to press for a "keep" outcome, evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources is not optional. The only thing that stops this from being a clear "delete" is the fact that there really is a suitable redirect target. When there is an alternative to deletion we must use it, hence my "redirect".—S Marshall T/C 22:09, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep this, and regarding Dream Focus's comment, it's not only that Time and the National Post quoted the Wired article, but also that it decided to quote specifically parts about Equestria Daily. Regardless, the Wired and New York Observer articles clearly reference the site more than just "trivial mentions", as some in the last AfD claimed. Also, the primary sources reveal that the site has gotten a lot of attention from companies and people involved with the show, which also shows some evidence of notability.

Speedy keep WP:Speedy keep reason #1, nominator has not advanced an argument for deletion. Unscintillating (talk) 02:48, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a unique case in that it a reposting of the AFD given the discussion from DRV; doesn't fall into SK. (That said, this may be becoming a snow keep, but that's probably too early to tell...) --MASEM (t) 03:00, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't agree that this is a unique case, I see it as part of a pattern of AfD nominations being bureaucratically imposed by administrators, in this case with the effect of unnecessarily continuing a tainted AfD process. Unscintillating (talk) 07:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- - Not if one person has a different opinion (at least one is going for redirect). Still, although majority means little, it's speaking loud nevertheless. Rainbow Dash !xmcuvg2MH 03:09, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- - - Here is the full text from WP:Speedy keep#1,

The nominator withdraws the nomination or fails to advance an argument for deletion—perhaps only proposing a non-deletion action such as moving or merging, and no one other than the nominator recommends that the page be deleted.
- An example of this includes posting a nomination in response to a proposed deletion but advocating a keep position. (If you dispute the deletion of a prod-ed article, just remove the prod-tag, sometimes nobody will want to pursue deletion of the article via AFD anyway.)
- Exception: If the nominator indicates that the nomination is procedural in nature (most commonly due to a "relist" result from deletion review), then the nomination is ineligible for speedy keep.

- - - So even now, with more than 20 participants, it would be procedurally correct to speedy close this AfD. The DRV could have been closed as overturn to no consensus NPASR (no prejudice against speedy renomination) and brought closure to the tainted process. The only purpose I can see for the closure as it was done was to prevent the possibility that no one would be willing to renominate the article. Unscintillating (talk) 13:13, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. WP:N states that notability occurs when a topic receives significant coverage from third-party sources. I wouldn't consider a few passing mentions in newspaper articles that are about the internet following, not this website in particular, to constitute significant coverage. Though of course, that is only my opinion. Melicans (talk, contributions) 05:42, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect Alexa rankings, Whois, citations to the website itself, a citation to global comment (a user generated website making it as reliable as using Wikipedia as a source), and passing mentions in publications... where is the in depth coverage. It isn't there. This isn't independently notable and because there aren't any sources we cannot have an article on it. Redirect this to the brony section in the My Little Pony article. Let's not revisit this until some more articles have been written, okay bronies. AniMate 07:33, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep multiple mentions in reliable sources, significant traffic, regardless of what you think of MLP fanbase this is a notable website. Grue 08:01, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
merge Sorry folks, the coverage is really thin and we have a good merge target. The Wired coverage is the best (and only a couple of paragraphs), the other is pretty much in passing. It's really close, but I don't think it meets WP:N. The idea of "Bronies" might though, and that would be even a better merge target. Hobit (talk) 13:08, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- As a comment on that, the problem is that spinning of the brony fandom to its own article (notable in itself, no question), leaves the show's page lacking, since the notability of the show is directly tied to this fandom. (This is not to say that EQD couldn't be merged if that's a solution). --MASEM (t) 13:12, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not entirely sure what you mean by that, Masem. I created a subpage to see what the article looks like with only a passing mention to the internet following. The result that I see is an incredibly detailed article on what should logically be an almost unknown children's show. There is a heck of a lot of good information on the show's origins, production, etc; basically the important details that make or break an article. The fandom may have caused the show to become notable, but the amount of information on the show itself certainly causes it to stand on its own two hooves. Melicans (talk, contributions) 20:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - The problem right now is that what's left is a sufficiently sourced (not to fail notability) article on the show where the bulk of the information on creation and production is sourced to EQD, which, regardless of whether it has an article here or not, is being called into question as a reliable source per the last attempt at FAC. Keeping the show and fandom coverage together boosts both, and emphasizes why EQD is, in the case, an acceptable source. But again, that's not an issue for AFD beyond that if the result is "merge", what the merge target is. --MASEM (t) 21:38, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Have you considered assessing its reliability at WP:RSN? That would, at the least, assauge doubt on whether it can be considered reliable or not at FAC. And if an RSN assessment already exists, then it will be easy to trot out to show the reviewers who aren't entirely certain. It wouldn't be the first time it has helped an FAC.

Keep N(web) does not say that "Number of visitors, popularity, and importance of the site are irrelevant when considering notability": there is no such phrase in the cited reference, and linking in such a way as to imply there is seems inappropriate. Though not stated in that guideline, I think it is generally accepted here that they by themselves do not prove it. I think we all agree it needs further evidence, and the Wired article is sufficient. DGG ( talk ) 02:06, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree, it was inappropriate for me to link that phrase to Wikipedia:Notability (web). A better link would have been Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, specifically Wikipedia:Subjective importance.
  The GNG requires multiple significant, independent reliable sources. The Wired article is already not substantial enough to be considered "significant". One source does not establish notability. Hence, merging is the best choice here since the site has been noted in a reliable source, but its notability is such that a standalone article would be unfeasible.

  - Just how many sources do you need exactly? One reliable source is enough. And the fact that this site is mentioned in more than one source is just a bonus. Wikipedia is not paper.

Indoor tanning lotion[edit]

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

For some reason, someone just removed the {{prod}} without improving an article. This article has just one external link and no footnotes. This article has been also tagged with maintenance issues for two years, and it has still been accused for self-promotion without verifiability and for weasel words. Answer this: Why does this article have to be "kept"? --Gh87 (talk) 20:06, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - "indoor tanning lotion" is a real product that has existed for decades, is distinct from regular tanning lotion (no SPF), thousands of companies advertise and sell it. The article also had a merge with sunless tanning, which is a completely different product. Even Jersey Shore's Pauly D is launching his own line (Wikipedia didn't like the Examiner link, but you can find it easily). It is an entire industry, separate but dependent on tanning beds. Your notes about improving the article may be true, but that is never a reason to delete an article. Half the articles here need improvement. Dennis Brown (talk) 00:39, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment To address the nom (ie: For some reason, someone just removed the {{prod}} without improving an article.), the rationale for removing the PROD was given on the talk page, and it was clearly noted as such in the edit summary if he had only looked. The article has been cited some and trimmed of weasel words since then. Of course, those are never reasons to delete an article anyway (WP:ATA) but the article has been improved, with plenty of room for more improvement. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:45, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- You're either the creator or major influence of that article. Therefore, do we have to rely on that rationale? --Gh87 (talk) 14:27, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - A WP:Prod can be contested for any reason and the rational doesn't have to be provided. In any case a rationale was provided on the talk page anyway and Dennis Brown has indeed made improvements to the article, as can be seen in the article history. So the nomination rationale regarding prod removal is both irrelevant and invalid. Polyamorph (talk) 14:34, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to ~~Sunscreen or~~ Tanning oil. It is clearly a real product, however, it's difficult to find third party reliable sources because most search engine results are selling products. I don't think this warrants a seperate article unless third sources are forthcoming. Adding a section into ~~Sunscreen~~Tanning oil to discuss tanning oils including indoor tanning lotion would be sensible.

Merge to Sunless tanning, which covers the same topic in more depth. Tanning oil is not a good merge target, since it's a dab page. -- 202.124.74.33 (talk) 23:52, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Again, indoor tanning lotion is the exact opposite of sunless tanning, and tanning oil is just a DAB page, which is why the article exists, to explain the differences between lotion to make UV exposure unneeded (sunless), and lotion to enhance UV exposure (indoor tanning lotion). There is no article to properly merge TO even if that was needed. There has been enough cleanup and citation to justify at this point anyway. (added) If it was merged to Tanning Oil, it would actually be a move, not a merge. Tanning Oil, again, is a DAB page. Dennis Brown (talk) 15:37, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Both this article and Sunless tanning discuss DHA-based bronzers and tyrosine-based products claimed to stimulate melanin production. They are the same topic. This article differs primarily in taking a POV stance on melanin production. -- 202.124.73.48 (talk) 22:48, 20 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - DHA doesn't create or stimulate melanin. It is basically a skin "stain". A bronzer. If the sunless article makes that claim, it would be in error and should be corrected, which has nothing to do with this article. Dennis Brown (talk) 01:03, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Both this article and Sunless tanning discuss DHA-based bronzers (which don't stimulate melanin) and both articles discuss tyrosine-based products (which are claimed to stimulate melanin). Therefore this article is redundant. I don't see much content worth merging either. -- 202.124.73.94 (talk) 09:52, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Both articles on Chevrolet and Ford discuss V8 engines as well, so the argument is a non-starter. Since AFD, the article has been cited, the subject matter is distinct (even if a few brands share similar ingredients to other products), and it is a unique product. Because tanning beds are currently politically INcorrect for many is no reason to delete an article that covers products used in them. Dennis Brown (talk) 13:14, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are other means of sunless tanning than lotions, in particular cartotenoids. They are, appropriately discussed in the more general article. If the present article is not more in depth for lotions, increase the detail. DGG ( talk ) 06:28, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Istanbul Eyalet[edit]

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

Another Ottoman province of doubtful existence. While there's no question that a vilayet of Istanbul existed for some years, the location of what would otherwise have been the eyalet of Istanbul is shown by most maps as being merely split along European and Asian lines between the surrounding provinces.

Delete. Google search doesn't reveal any usable results, also not under variants like "İstanbul Beylerbeyliği", "Eyalet-i İstanbul" and "Eyalet of Istanbul". If this eyalet did exist (but we have no evidence for that), the article should be kept. If this eyalet did not exist, then it is not a good idea to merge the contents to History of Istanbul (which is about the city anyway, not about historical provinces). --Lambiam 15:18, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into History of Istanbul section. It would be possible, I think, to add information on the eyalet, if it did indeed exist, into the main article. Perhaps a section could even be created on "political subdivisions." DCItalk 05:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Did you even look at my recommendation above? Somehow I think it would be misleading and a disservice to this encyclopedia to merge content about a nonexistent entity into another article – unless it is made clear that the entity referred to is a figment of someone's imagination, but in that case we need to cite a reliable source explicitly stating so. Moreover, even if this province existed in some time in history, it most certainly was not a "political subdivision" of the city. --Lambiam 12:03, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence of existence is offered, and none can be found.

Comment Odie, you unfairly removed the MobyGames link (probably the best "source" in English about this game) which contains precious, useful and accurate information in English language about Sansara Naga 2: http://www.mobygames.com/game/sansara-naga-2 --Hydao (talk) 17:34, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the use of MobyGames as a reference, as the site has been determined to be unreliable and thus can not be used as a reference for factual content. I think the fact that the unreliable MobyGames article is the best source for the game speaks volumes about the notability of this game. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:42, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Who determined that? Five or six wikipedians? Oh c'mon... Actually that link is pretty complete, I would like to praise that "Mobygamer"... box art, overview, game credits(!)... Respect! How about adding the link as an "External link"? About the notability, for me it is more than notable. The soundtrack was composed by Kenji Kawai, so it's fine. Also, I just noticed now that the game was also released for the Game Boy Advance. http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/51H687Y7NFL.jpg ... http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/565547-sansara-naga-1x2 ... definitely KEEP the article. --Hydao (talk) 17:51, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since MobyGames consists entirely of user submitted content, it would be akin to citing a wikipedia article as a reference. That is why I removed. Yes, you can add it to the external links of the page. I personally would not add it there because I do not believe they are a knowledgeable source (WP:ELMAYBE #4), but you are free to do so. However, please read WP:EXT and consider WP:ELNO #1, since sometimes the MobyGames page would clearly not be appropriate. --Odie5533 (talk) 19:51, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also like to note that you still have not presented a clear argument for keeping the article. --Odie5533 (talk) 19:53, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My arguments are the same as with the other 2 or 3 games we've been discussing. Anyway, I don't mind if the article is REDIRECTED to Kenji Kawai. Because the truth is, the creator of the page Sansara Naga 2 is irresponsible, he creates video games articles just totally random, he doesn't own or didn't play the game, he used to copy/paste texts from other sites until 2 months ago, and he says "I didn't use my own words because I'm lazy". ermmm... And he's on Wikipedia since 2006! More than enough time to learn... I bet he didn't know that the NES and Game Boy Advance game actually exists. IMO, it doesn't make sense. 0% of sense. There are hundreads of pages created by him who's a complete mess, and that's why I started editing Wikipedia... How can someone create 5 pages within 2 hours? seriously... he's a mess, I hope he's reading this and start editing/improving those crappy pages. --Hydao (talk) 22:03, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sansara Naga 1x2 is re-release for the GBA with both 1 and 2. I don't think it supports having a standalone article for either game individually, but I could see it supporting the notability of a Sansara Naga 1x2 article, provided other sources exist. For the purposes of this nomination, however, I don't think it supports the notability of the game. --Odie5533 (talk) 06:31, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename is still keep. Same article, regardless what you call it. Doesn't really matter to me at all. Dream Focus 10:57, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rename to a different article is not the same as keep. This nomination is for an SFC video game, not a GBA video nor a series of video games. If you think it should be kept, then the SFV video game alone should be notable. --Odie5533 (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I certainly would agree that it should not be "automatic" for a trainer, unless I am missing something, and that they should meet GNG. I see he has been mentioned in many articles, but haven't had a chance to review them and consider whether the coverage is sufficient to meet GNG.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:57, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I created this page, which is less than a month old and is marked as a stub. A 10-second Google search shows five current articles in major outlets and several hundred in the archives, including stories in major outlets specifically about Porterfield. This seems like yet another example of someone mistakenly believing WP:BASE/N overrides WP:GNG. At worst, this is a case of sources being missing from the Wiki page rather than being non-existent. (And all of that aside, it's ludicrous to suggest an MLB team's head athletic trainer is less notable and ranks lower in MLB's hierarchy than, e.g., a bullpen catcher, of which there are now dozens on this site.) — NY-13021 (talk) 04:02, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, I haven't checked the refs to see whether they meet GNG, but yes -- I agree that if he meets GNG that would be sufficient. And that it is sufficient for refs to exist; and not required that they be reflected in the article.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:50, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case it wasn't clear, my comments above were regarding the AfD itself, not you. From the time-stamps, it looks like we were writing at the same time. Thanks. — NY-13021 (talk) 05:29, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GNG does trump BASE/N. However, all the coverage that mentions his name seems WP:ROUTINE and doesn't, in my opinion, establish notability for him as an individual. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:49, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's odd, because I just spent less than two minutes with Google and found this, this, and this, all of which are far more than "routine." — NY-13021 (talk) 02:13, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, your snark is not appreciated. Second, only the first article is directly about him. The second and third are in the context of Rocco Baldelli, and is more pertinent to him than Porterfield. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:23, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As WP:GNG plainly states, a person doesn't need to be the topic of an article(s) to derive notability from said article. And, again, the above were simply three examples I found in less than 2 minutes on Google. — NY-13021 (talk) 19:28, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find enough significant coverage to meet GNG and neither has anyone else. It would helpful for stubs to at least indicate what a persons WP:IMPACT is, because even if there is more coverage I dont find him notable without further impact. Being a trainer for notable athletes and getting his name occasionally mentioned because of them doesnt appear notable to me, nor does a nice one-time writeup from his hometown paper.—Bagumba (talk) 08:30, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

With respect, this seems like evidence of how WP:Baseball has gotten out of whack with regards to standards. Somehow, dozens of bullpen catchers have been added to the site and have even passed AfDs, despite the fact they're not actual coaches and often are paid by the game just like batboys and other ballpark game-day staff. But now trainers are being swept aside as non-notable, despite the fact they are considered actual staff members and receive constant media coverage. Simply put, non-notable people don't get quoted multiple times per week in major outlets for years at a time. Being quoted because of subject-matter expertise is much different than "Bob Smith went 1-for-3." The latter is routine; the former is not. — NY-13021 (talk) 09:32, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sources added I just added info. from four sources to Porterfield's page. Duplicate sourcing from, among others, the New York Times and USA Today was not added but is available. I was also unable to add a feature story from the Orlando Sentinel that is entirely behind a paywall. I didn't have time to look at more than about 20 of the more than 300 hits in the Google News Archive, so there's likely more info. to be mined. I don't see any way Porterfield doesn't pass GNG, but that seems increasingly to be in the eye of the beholder in these baseball AfDs. — NY-13021 (talk) 11:21, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the effort, but still doesnt seem notable. I dont think that society (right or wrong) finds athletic trainers inherently notable. As the nominator wrote, it would take a Gene Monahan-type that serves decades and gets a day named after him, who has some non-trivial mentions in books to probably get in. If it was up to me, Monahan wouldnt be in, but I can see where he gets support based on seniority and being on Yankees.—Bagumba (talk)

Great, another Wiki editor taking it upon himself to create his own rules and standards. "Inherently notable" is the standard imposed by WP:BASE/N, but BASE/N doesn't trump GNG, which is satisfied for Porterfield due to his coverage in the Boston Globe, Providence Journal, Santa Fe New Mexican, Orlando Sentinel, Tampa Tribune, etc. I feel like a broken record, but non-notable people simply aren't quoted on a weekly basis in major news outlets for years and years at a time. — NY-13021 (talk) 00:03, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adding to my last comment, I'm getting a little frustrated with all of the AfD and PROD activity lately and it's probably coming through in the tone of my comments. I'm not trying to beat anyone up; I just hate wasting time on things like this when there are better ways for all of us to use our time. I just don't see how an ex-minor leaguer like Zach Daeges (a pending AfD) or bullpen catchers can be said to "clearly pass GNG," while an actual longtime member of an MLB staff, like Porterfield, requires a huge debate like this, even after sources were added. — NY-13021 (talk) 02:15, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can explain my thinking further. He's not an athlete per se, so I look at WP:BIO. It says "Generally, a person who is "part of the enduring historical record" will have been written about, in depth, independently in multiple history books on that field, by historians." I'm not expecting the history book now, but I ask myself what is the likelihood he will be included. For an athletic trainer with his accomplishments to-date, I dont see it based on what I read about him in current sources. Its just a reflection of society that "lesser" people might get more attention. As much as all of us want to make this purely objective based on X sources with Y number of lines written being the threshold of inclusion, notability is subjective to a degree. WP:GNG itself says its guidelines are a "presumption" and not a "guarantee" of inclusion. I dont see his WP:IMPACT, but I am just one !vote.—Bagumba (talk) 04:47, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate your comments and it seems like a good-faith position, but I'd also argue that it's a somewhat erroneous or at least minority one. You seem to give way too much weight to the idea that someone can pass GNG but still not be worthy of a Wiki page. Let's face it, if "history books" are the new standard, then 90% of the pages on Wiki should be deleted. How many non-leadership Congressman are mentioned in an average history book? Maybe five. And yet Wiki probably has a page for every Congressman in U.S. history. Now, I'm not putting an MLB trainer in the same notability category as a Congressman. I'm just saying that I don't see much need to go beyond GNG. I don't go out of my way looking for reasons to include people; I just make sure they pass GNG and/or BASE/N. But you seem to look for reasons to exclude people even when they otherwise pass GNG, which, while perhaps done in good faith, seems to be a minority position/standard here. Again, as I've said elsewhere, the inconsistent standards are somewhat maddening. Third-string catchers in the Mexican League are deemed notable because the Mexican League is the top-level league in Mexico, but then people fight to get MLB executives and trainers deleted (while keeping bullpen catchers, who usually don't come close to passing GNG or BASE/N). — NY-13021 (talk) 21:28, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There are quite a few "Glossary of..." articles. The reason is to provide a place where technical terms from a particular area are succinctly defined, but where each such term might lack an article. This gives a target for links to technical words in an article to assist readers. I would thus view it as a reader aid rather than something that falls under the scope of WP:NOT. At any rate, whether we agree with the existence of these articles or not, AfD doesn't seem to be the right place to come to a decision on that matter. Personally, I don't really like them, but I'm leaning toward a procedural keep. I think this issue needs to be argued at the pump or related venue before glossary articles start getting deleted without really plumbing the community on the matter.

It is obvious that the New Democratic Party of Sri Lanka embraces this philosophy. Please check http://ndpsl.org/. I understand that you are against communism. I am too, I am a Libertarian but that doesn't mean we have to censor everything related to communism.

First, please sign your posts. I'm not against this article because it's in favor of Communism (the article is actually pretty neutral) but this doesn't seem to be any notability behind this political movement. Also, your article is about a form of Communism where there are elections, but the NDPSL upholds Lenin and Mao who were not, so I don't think there is any connection between that political party and what your article is about. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 03:29, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"During at least two of the three years of democratic Marxist government, however, Chile faced severe economic and political crises." (http://www.jstor.org/pss/447149) It clearly states that it was a democratic Marxist government.
"In November 1970, Marxist socialist Salvador Allende took office as President of Chile, vowing to bring about revolutionary change by working within, and not against, the country's constitutional democratic tradition." (http://www.jstor.org/pss/447149) The fact that the Marxist president wants to work within the democratic system implies that it is democratic marxism.
Now that we recognize this idea exists and has been talked about in academic writing I think the page should remain and if scholars want to come and improve it and add more to it then they can do that.

Difference between Democratic Socialism and Democratic Marxism - Socialism by definition implies that the government own the means of production. Marxism includes that but also includes redistribution of wealth and the abolition of private property which is distinctly different from both social democracy and democratic socialism although those are usually the first steps toward a democratic marxist system. In chapter two of The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: "In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."

"When therefore capital is converted into common property, into the property of all members of society" To me this seems to imply some type of redistribution.

"Nevertheless in the most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable:

1. Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes.

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

3. Abolition of all right of inheritance." Politcally Correction -(talk) 22:53, 6 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - This strikes me as an original essay. There probably could be a legitimate piece written on Social Democratic Marxism, given a great deal of time to dig up sources.

I guess that's already up as Orthodox Marxism. That's a decent redirect target for this title in the event that this closes in deletion. Carrite (talk) 03:36, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Differences between Orthodox Marxism and Democratic Marxism - Orthodox Marxism is too broad to be called the same as democratic marxism because it is void of any political structure. It states that the orthodox marxist economic philosophy determines the political structure. Democratic marxism seems to be an orthodox marxist economic/philosophic theory that exists only inside a democratic structure. So you could call democratic marxism a more specific stem of orthodox marxism but the latter does not represent the former in its entirety. -Politcally Correction (talk) 03:46, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is a topic dealt with in reliable sources; here even a whole chapter in a book (ISBN 0-02-920790-8, LCCN 71-122277). See also the oft-cited book: Howard J. Sherman (1995). Reinventing Marxism. JHU Press. ISBN 0-8018-5077-0. (also cited in Wikipedia at Karl Marx). The present article reads indeed as a badly researched essay (a serious encyclopedic article on the topic should not fail to mention Bukharin, Lukács, and particularly Gramsci), but the topic is notable. --Lambiam 09:14, 7 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, Marxism is inherently democratic. This article is WP:SYNTH. Some material might be included in other articles, though. --Soman (talk) 07:17, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure that everyone agrees that Marxism is inherently democratic, and I suspect that you will agree that, historically, groups and societies that proclaimed themselves to be grounded in Marxism actually had an interpretation of it that was inherently undemocratic. But that is all a bit beyond the point. Maybe you believe also that Marxism is inherently cultural, and I would agree that that is true for at least one of the meanings of cultural. Yet "Cultural Marxism" is nevertheless a valid topic; it has a specific meaning that cannot be directly deduced from the combination of the terms cultural and Marxism. Likewise for "Democratic Marxism", which refers to the criticism of loosely associated individuals and groups on the theory and praxis of "Orthodox Marxism" with respect to issues of democracy, and attempts to reform these while remaining true to the inspiration and conceptual framework underlying Marxism. --Lambiam 12:15, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of Atlantic Coast Conference rivalries[edit]

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

While the topic may scrape the borderline of notability, the article itself is a mess of uncited WP:OR and fan-written violations of WP:NPOV - such a mess that a decent article would be a from-the-ground-up project. Going by the most "objective" definition of rivals (that being the schools that permanently meet yearly in football and twice-yearly in basketball), the topic is already covered quite well in the main Atlantic Coast Conference article, under the "Basketball" and "Football" sections, so I'm not even sure that this warrants a separate article - but, as I said above, even if it does, there is nothing terribly salvageable here.

Comment This article is about a new Weinberg Foundation in London, not the better-known "Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation" that owns real estate in Baltimore [48].
Comment I note on wired.co.uk that "The Weinberg Foundation [... is] Backed by Labour peer Baroness Worthington" and the foundation's website lists her as "the Foundation’s Patron." Regardless of the AfD outcome, should the Weinberg Foundation article be merged into her's and/or the molten salt reactor article? (which briefly mentions the foundation) -- Limulus (talk) 03:52, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ Merge and Redirect. Founded last month. Yes, they have a press release that's been echoed in a couple of spots. Yes, they've gotten some side mentions in a couple of recent stories about thorium. Yes, I could well imagine their becoming notable in the future. But WP is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL and is not a WP:PROMO tool, even for a good cause. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 17:01, 8 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not appropriate for a freestanding article, but I agree with Limulus's suggestion to merge as a new section in Baroness Worthington's WP entry, with a redirect to that section. The foundation is part & parcel with her career, she is the "patron", and she is always mentioned or is actually providing the quotes in all its news items. It can always be broken out to a separate entry in the future, if appropriate. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 15:04, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Leave as is. Notwithstanding Baroness Worthington's involvement, this seems to be more than a one-woman show. The foundation website lists three others as founders (Laurence O’Hagan, JoAnne Fishburn and John Durham) and O'Hagan is the correspondent of record for the Foundation's email. And O'Hagan is also representing the Foundation on the agenda at this year's thorium energy conference, ThEC11. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keithpickering (talk • contribs) 16:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)Keithpickering (talk) 16:43, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not being a one-woman show isn't enough to justify having this as an encyclopedia article per our guidelines. The article from The Guardian referenced in the article is an opinion piece by an industry insider, rather than objective editorially reviewed content, and other sources that I can find focus on the use of thorium as a fuel, just mentioning this organisation in passing.[49][50][51] Can you point to any independent reliable sources with significant coverage of this organisation, rather than of the technology that it is promoting. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:39, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the Guardian article is NOT by Sorensen. If you look closely at the wording, only the video linked from the article is of him. The article itself was by Duncan Clark, "a consultant editor on the Guardian environment desk. He has written and edited a number of books on environmental and technology topics as well as working at BBC Worldwide and 10:10." -- Limulus (talk) 09:45, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete. Beside being purely promotional, this fledgling organization has no accomplishments (to date) nor any claim to notability. One news article doesn't make it notable (WP:NNEWS) and the other references are not independent third-party sources. Totally fails WP:ORG. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:32, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and Redirect: Reading the above comments, I only see one that suggests keeping the article in place and that argues based on it being "more than a one-woman show." However, she is the only person with an article on Wikipedia predating the establishment of the foundation, which implies that she is the only 'notable' person involved in it and given the lack of actual accomplishments thus far, I am reluctant to vote for keeping it as-is. OTOH, I don't see how merging the more-or-less stub contents of this article into another (of which three good candidates have been identified... all of which actually have just about as much information about the foundation in them already!) and setting up a redirect would hurt anything, thus I strongly oppose any attempts to obliterate any mentions of the WF on WP. I am thus voting to merge. The only question in my mind then is to where a redirect should be set. I favor the Baroness' article, but would be fine if it went to either of the other two. -- Limulus (talk) 09:45, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Speaking of Baroness Worthington, note that her article mentions Sandbag (non-profit organisation). Contrast a quick Google News/Archive search for 'sandbag carbon' with 'weinberg foundation thorium' and the (current) lack of notability for a stand-alone article jumps out. -- Limulus (talk) 10:02, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: He's the captain of Pristina. How can you guys delete so easily one of the best Kosovo players? Just because you don't have enough googlehits, it is not enough to delete someone. He is also a member of the Kosovo national football team. If FIFA doesn't accept Kosovo, that's FIFA's problem. FIFA is just an association to which a country can adhere or not. WP:NSOCCER does not mention that a national team has to belong to a country whose football federation has to be accepted by FIFA, and, as a national team player, he fully meets WP:NSOCCER. As a matter of fact, FIFA is not even mentioned in WP:NSOCCER What am I missing? Futbollisti (talk) 12:58, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Exerpt from WP:NSPORT: Players...who have represented their country in any officially sanctioned senior international competition (including the Olympics) are notable. (emphasis mine). Since Kosovo is not part of FIFA its matches are not officially sanctioned. Furthermore, the quality of a player has no bearing on his/her notability. What is relevant is the absence of coverage, which you (Futbollisti) have already pointed out. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The interpretation of officially is merely yours, not that of the wiki policies. FIFA is just an association of football federations, to which a football federation of a nation can elect to be part of or not. FIFA doesn't have the exclusivity of confering officiality to football matches, neither in real life, nor in Wikipedia policies. I didn't say that there are no sources, there are plenty of sources, and I will bring them forth, but I don't know how many you want. Just for his transfer to Skendija in January [53] there were a lot of sport magazines and newspapers writing on him. Futbollisti (talk) 15:39, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of ancient astronauts[edit]

A comment about the above attacks Just to say: The timeline of publications has been on the ancient astronaut main article for well over 3 years, it has been left there, now if I did not create this other article nothing would be done about it, it would of remained on the main article of ancient astronauts, yes it would of remained there forever, I see nobody calling it all these names when it has been there for well over 3 years. A user called Dougweller on the talkpage claimed that the list was too big and should be put to bottom of the article. I happened to check it out the other day and decided to create a new article for it, becuase it seems silly to be on the bottom of the article. The list is not original research. It is a timeline of every book which deals with ancient astronauts. This is no different than the Intelligent Design Timeline which is on wikipedia. As for me being another user, this is impossible, I have only just joined wikipedia, you obviously did not like the fact that I moved some information to another wikipedia article, then decide to make lies up about me and attack me. very sad indeed, I have an interest in ancient astronauts and was trying to help the article, but it seems this is not aloud on wikipedia.

Admittedly, I started off this article without much Wikipedia experience. Having gone through the guidelines, I realise that multiple published sources are not really in existence, because it is a fairly new, niche podcast. It can be verified, however, through the actual podcasts, available on iTunes. I feel, as I'm sure others do, that this new media is worthy of an article on Wikipedia, considering the hours that two well-known Australians have dedicated to informing and entertaining through this medium. There are Wikipedia articles on other works of Wil Anderson and Charlie Clausen, so surely this one is not entirely out of place. Additionally, there is an editorial guideline page entitled 'Don't bite the newcomers'. I ask that this be the case. Yes, it quite possibly needs editing or tweaking, and I agree perhaps later additions could be seen as overly crass, casual or promoting, and this may need adjustment. But I stand by the fact that amidst a lot of banter is pertinent information on a variety of topics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adavies12 (talk • contribs) 19:12, 16 October 2011
- That it exists is not sufficient, the most relevant guideline for podcast notability is WP:WEB, the simplest way of meeting this guideline is to add two or more reliable sources such as national newspaper reviews or major magazine reviews which give some context for notability (not just listings, such as iTunes or podcast directories; if these were suitable then Wikipedia would rapidly become a directory of products and companies rather than an encyclopaedia of knowledge). With independent sources, there would be every reason to keep the article. With regard to bitey-ness, I hope you agree that my friendly welcome banner added to your talk page at the same time as I nominated the article for discussion, is not in the least bit bitey, gives some rather handy tips for newcomers and offers practical ways of asking for help. --Fæ (talk) 08:32, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not much assertion of notability and certainly no evidence of it. The multiple SPAs are probably explained by this on Facebook: "TOFOP now has a Wikipedia entry.

You won't have found it, because — as, alas, usual for Wikipedia — we have two Wikipedia Product Placement articles on these things by their trade names, Guitar Resonator and EBow, and a redlink at electromagnetic string-driver which is the actual, formal and non-trademark, name for these things. Search for that, and you'll find things like John Schneider's The contemporary guitar pp 58 et seq.. Yes, this does cast doubt on vibrator (music). Schneider doesn't call them vibrators and nor does anyone else that I can find. You can get to a proper encyclopaedia without using the deletion facility by renaming vibrator (music) to electromagnetic string-driver and merging Guitar Resonator into it so that it's about string drivers in general.

Re: "Speaking as Penny Johnston, I don't think I warrant deletion!":

The idea is that the article has been nominated for deletion. No one, as far as I can tell, has threatened to delete you. I know that sounds frivolous, but in the last Afd discussion in which I was involved the subject really did behave as if he'd been consigned to Death Row. In that case he pretended to be someone other than the subject, so it's refreshing (for me) that you appear as yourself, although Matthew Thompson is right; the subject shouldn't normally edit an article about himself. Anyway, Kudpung's sources argument would seem to be valid. Do other sources exist? TheScotch (talk) 09:58, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Penny is a notable public figure in Melbourne. She is one of the highest rating broadcasters for her show 'Babytalk'. I went to search for her on Wikipedia so find out about her work background.

Daynes Music[edit]

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

I am in two minds about this one but I think we need to discuss it. It is a promotional article with peacock language about a local music store with some local media coverage but I am not seeing really significant coverage in national media, just quite a few of passing mentions. There is possibly some claim to notability given the longevity but I am not sure if it is enough. The promotional tone is fixable, of course, so it all hinges on notability. If it was the oldest in the whole USA, maybe, but the oldest in Utah? I don't know. DanielRigal (talk) 00:28, 16 October 2011 (UTC) Nomination withdrawn --DanielRigal (talk) 10:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is a very slippery slope, and a "national scope" of notability is not strictly necessary for Wikipedia (although helpful in establishing notability). The strictest definition of notability requires at least two outside sources, which I generally interpret as at least two substantive articles about a topic from generally reliable sources. Local news media can count toward that sort of coverage.

The whole point of notability is that an article simply can't be written based upon a single point of view if you want to be able to stick to the five pillars and produce a reasonable article. If you can find more sources on a topic, it becomes all that much better and preferably completely different publications from different points of view as well from which to hopefully derive a neutral point of view.

There are whole Wikipedia editions with groups of speakers smaller than the population of the state of Utah, so I think it is incredibly subjective in terms of what the scope of notability ought to be for Wikipedia, other than there should be multiple sources of information for any article. Counting sources is something which can be objective, as well as noting the quality of the sources being used for that count. Just because somebody in New York City or San Francisco may not have heard about a topic should not be the yardstick for measurement of if that article ought to be included in Wikipedia.

At the moment, I count three different sources of information about this business in the article itself, on top of the L.A. Times and Chicago Tribute articles. That seems to hit the strict number of articles required by WP:NOTE and thus can be considered notable. The stuff from the store website ought to be considered self-published, or certainly held with a jaundiced view of mainly being used for objective and verifiable facts like the year it was established. That there may be other problems with the article, I'd agree, but that doesn't seem to imply a reason to delete this article and it certainly doesn't fail notability. All this suggests is perhaps it needs a major rewrite or restructuring based upon those sources. --Robert Horning (talk) 19:48, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

Daniel, thank you for opening this up for discussion. My intentions were not to promote, so help from others is very much appreciated. This is my first attempt at creating a new article. I found Daynes Music a good candidate for a Wikipedia page because it is:

Second oldest music store in the entire United States (the oldest west of Mississippi)
The oldest Steinway dealer in the United States
76th oldest family run business in the United States

I do think that using references like LA Times or Chicago Tribune, though small, would have helped to show the significance is noted outside of Utah. I do feel it is notable enough to have an article, but perhaps my inexperience in showing that significance is at fault. http://articles.latimes.com/2002/apr/14/news/mn-37871 http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2002-02-15/news/0202150186_1_mormon-utah-olympics 101heather (talk) 01:51, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Notable. Besides getting degrees at important institutions, he seems to be known throughout Ukraine as a poet. For exmaple, he was featured in a radio show in 2009 [57], and radio programs don't usually waste their time with people that their listeners wouldn't be a least remotely familiar with. Also, if you do a google search of his name in Ukrainian (Ярослав Павуляк) generates 3,440 hits [58]. Considering Ukraine has not nearly as much internet users as the English language, this is a decently high number.--Bogu Slav 06:23, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not a single reference in the article, except a couple of links to the subject's own website. One single book reference pops up from a Google Books search (something about him being expelled from a university), but nothing that would show even the slightest notability by the standards of WP:GNG.

The link I posted does not include any wikipedia mirrors, as I specifically specified those conditions when I made the search:[59] I suggest I look at previous comments and research before making your own.--Bogu Slav 00:51, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

By "reference", I actually meant Reliable Sources, by the standards used here on English Wikipedia. That means neutral third-party published sources, such as books by notable publishers, academic publishers preferred, or mainstream newspapers and peer-reviewed journals. I should have been more clear. Also see WP:GNG to learn about notability requirements here. First Light (talk) 01:03, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm familiar with notability requirements. My point is, Google Books and other such outlets you would usually check are not nearly as widespread in Ukraine as they are in the English-speaking world. So, just because you haven't found an academic English sourcce, doesn't mean anything. Excuse me if English academics don't usually analyze Ukrainian poets. I already mentioned the radio station he visited above [60], here is a Ukrainian language diploma thesis about his work that someone posted online [61], an obituary on a Ternopil Oblast news website in Russian[62], here is an article in a famous Russian-language news website about the nominees for the Shevchenko Prize in 2010 [63], not to mention the many blogs and editorials that have written about him: [64], [65], [66], [67]. Unfortunately, none of these are in English. Hmmmm... I guess he really ISN'T notable.--Bogu Slav 04:58, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Similar to several comments above, I also have been unable to locate significant independent reliable source coverage, but do not speak Ukrainian so there may be some sources there, which if provided I will be happy to consider. Barring those, he appears to fail WP:CREATIVE as I can find no evidence that he is regarded as an important figure, is widely cited by peers or successors, is known for originating a significant new concept, that he has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent articles or reviews, or has received significant critical attention, held a significant exhibition, or is represented in the permanent collection of several notable museums.

Keep (and most emphatically at that). For starters, this report from SME (newspaper) surely counts as significant independent coverage!

Weak Keep although admit it was even worse before I tried to rescue it so not adamant. I do find value in spelling out acronyms; not everyone knows that "BI" for example does not refer to its other common meaning :-) My thinking was that it seemed to be selected by the US Census Bureau to publish data, but not sure if that is really a notable distinction or just a press release that anyone could claim (e.g. is the data actually public domain?). W Nowicki (talk) 18:06, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like a single-purpose account created this on their second edit, and only made two main space edits in two days. The US Census web site just lists them in a list of other vendors, so perhaps there is no distinction there after all. Another alternative would be to Userfy in case the editor ever comes back and can work it, say, adding more independent sources. W Nowicki (talk) 18:18, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to be able to save this page, but what do I need to do so? I don't want to spend time if you've already decided it's a goner. Just a quick disclaimer I work for the company and so am somewhat biased on the subject and am also author of a blog on Alteryx (http://ukalteryxuser.blogspot.com). I've never really edited much here, but I used to be an admin over at wikibooks a few years back so have a vague appreciation over these kind of decisions. In terms of external references my quick 5 minutes has pulled out this one (http://www.directionsmag.com/articles/bi-or-li-alteryx-can-play-in-either-but-theres-no-magic-quadrant-answe/169181). Is that the kind of thing I would need? Thanks --AdRiley (talk) 18:15, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is a step in the right direction. Although it looks like that article has a disclaimer that Alteryx paid the author's expenses to a conference. Even better would be something by a professional journalist who has no association with the company. What I was suggesting would be to, say, move the article into --User:AdRiley/Alteryx so that if the company ever does get independent coverage you could start from there and try again. W Nowicki (talk) 19:36, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry didn't see that disclaimer when I posted it. So I guess the best reference which I have for notability is the US Census. It is more than "just a press release that anyone could claim". If you look at the screen-shots of their software here http://www.census.gov/support/cen2000_sf1data.html you can see the Powered By SRC (the old compnay name) on their software. i.e. Their software is running Alteryx software under the hood. If you are going to Userfy then it would probably make more sense to do it under the original author (I haven't actually edited the page yet, but will clean it up some more if it is kept). Thanks for your consideration. --AdRiley (talk) 22:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Tried searching for reliable sources. Closest one is from Reuters but it's a press release; not independently generated. Maybe the principal editors can find .gov or .edu sources?

Weak Keep I think the sources are just sufficiently reliable. Dealing with the last 3 objections, Paying travel expenses is not such a drastic COI as to make the report unreliable. The Microsoft page is not third party with respect to Windows Azure, but it is 3rd party with respect to Alteryx. Paying travel expenses is not such a drastic COI as to make the report unreliable.

Mm. The sources are very weak indeed.

Strong Keep I can't source his notability right here and now, but he was an extremely well-known performer during the adult industry's transition from "film-houses" to home video. He was covered extensively within the gay media (which, unlike the straight adult industry of the time, was relatively scarce during the early 1980s, making it extremely difficult to source 30 years later), and he is still mentioned today in gay media when reporting about the era. I know he did win a couple of awards of the time, and I can go through some of the old magazines I have to see what I can find, but the page has been here for five years, so I vote for a reprieve from deletion to allow for some of us to go through our archives and see what we can find. It shouldn't be big news that the mainstream media of Ryder's time largely ignored the underground gay industry (making articles like this all the more important). I'm aware of the notability guidelines, but in the case of some of the notable "early" gay stars - I believe WP:Common sense should dictate that a somewhat more lax set of rules should apply, considering the history of gay culture in the United States. Gay adult stars of the 70s and early 80s weren't covered by the mainstream media the way a straight female performer like Jenna Jameson is today, with their own E! True Hollywood Stories, best-selling auto-biographies, guest-starring appearances on Family Guy, etc. Yes, there were a couple of gay stars who approached crossover "fame" like Peter Berlin, and later Jeff Stryker, but those were, by far, the exception rather than the rule. --- XXX Pink Narcissus XXX (talk) 04:55, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

History of iOS jailbreaking[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

A spinout of iOS jailbreaking, this article should never have existed in the first place: the entire article is, and has been, in such a state that it can never exist as a viable spinout without massively violating WP:V. Nor is the parent article in any need of spinning out due to changes to that article I've made removing any citations to primary sources/blogs. Finally, it isn't really a viable target for searching either, which removes its only remaining ground to exist. Sceptre ^(talk) 03:22, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - See the previous AfD for my reason, which explains why the article exists. Also, per WP:BEGIN this AfD is premature, as you did not consider merging, nor was any discussion for merging the content made, which I assume is what is meant by this AfD, as opposed to deleting the content outright. Also, how the article cannot exist without violating WP:V perhaps needs clarification, as the content in the article is verified. - Sudo Ghost 03:30, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article that History of iOS jailbreaking was split from, IOS jailbreaking, is also unlikely to keep this edit, as it removed over a third of the article, including important topics related to jailbreaking, such as SIM unlocking, of which jailbreaking is a generally required prerequisite on iOS devices. To nominate this article for deletion because of a temporary removal of content in another article seems hasty, at best, especially as the other article is extremely unlikely to stay in its current state. - Sudo Ghost 03:44, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did consider merging; there's no policy-compliant content to merge. Would you rather I removed all the policy-breaking content, then nominated it for deletion? Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy and BEGIN only serves as an advisory guide. I see no way in which this article can be improved or merged, so deletion is the only remaining option. And any view that the removal of content from the parent article is temporary is misguided, I'm afraid; content on Wikipedia must be sourced to reliable publications, of which it was not and could not be. Sceptre ^(talk) 03:46, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That is unlikely, as I'm gathering third-party sources for it now. It took me less than ten seconds to find sources for content you removed from the article, which apparently could not possibly be found. Your edit to the IOS jailbreaking article is temporary, and makes using that as one of the reasons for deleting this article irrelevant. As for WP:V, this article has many reliable, third-party sources.[70][71][72][73] The rest need to be improved, and sources exist. The article can be improved, and that this has not yet occured is a reason to improve the article, not delete it. As to the "it isn't really a viable target for searching either, which removes its only remaining ground to exist", I'm not aware of any such policy, and I'm also unsure of how you've garnered this. Until you removed it, IOS jailbreaking had a link to this article, which is where any interested person is likely to be looking. - Sudo Ghost 04:13, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And to show the dearth of WP:V compliant content, the only reliable sources in the article are either stories about the first jailbreak, or articles about Apple closing exploits. If we removed all content apart from that, it becomes a violation of WP:NOT a collection of changelogs. While I admit that the parent article is devoid of the history of the practice, this article offers no content that can be suitably merged into it. Sceptre ^(talk) 03:55, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will say that the article needs to be changed from a list format into prose, which will remove the changelog-esque structure the article currently has. I'm also unsure of how the first jailbreak and Apple's relationship with jailbreaking by closing exploits does not fall squarely into the history of iOS jailbreaking? All I'm seeing here is reasons to improve the article, not to delete it. - Sudo Ghost 04:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In a normal world, a spinout article that shouldn't have existed would still be a redirect if it was a viable search term, but this is not. In any case, this article will violate WP:NOTDIRECTORY as it will, in any form, be a list of changelogs/releases. (Apple releases a iOS version to close an exploit, Dev Team find another exploit, in perpituity) The only jailbreaks that should be mentioned in any capacity are the first ones in each particular field, if that. There is no way this article can ever viably exist as a spinout without violating policy or being merged back, hence it should be deleted. Sceptre ^(talk) 04:31, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merely saying something is does not make it so, and still all you've given are reasons to improve the article, not delete it. If the only jailbreaks that should be mentioned are the first ones in each field, then how is it that this article can never exist? I'm not seeing how content backed by sources such as this have no value and should be outright deleted. If this article is to not exist, then the relevant information needs to be merged back into the parent article, not deleted outright. However, I believe the issues with the parent article needs to be addressed first. While you've chopped two-thirds of the parent article out, there was information there that needs to be reliably sourced and placed back in the article. The article in its current state is sorely lacking, and when it is improved, the article may very well (again) be too large, and warrant a split. - Sudo Ghost 05:02, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

But merging that back in would create an unnecessary duplication of content, as the Library of Congress ruling is well detailed in the parent article. In any case, this article, like many others, were created from a false sense of size of the parent article ("welp, this article is 65kb, it must be split immediately"). Just as BEGIN applies to AfD, it also applies to article creation; the correct process would be to remove or replace all poorly sourced information and then spin an article out. I've gone through the table deleting rows that are not reliably sourced and I was left with nine rows: two mentioning the first jailbreak (mentioned in the parent), one mentioning the Library of Congress ruling, and the remaining six engaging in changelog cataloguing. And besides, you miss the salient point: by its very nature, this article will violate NOT's proscription of cataloguing and indiscriminate information, or be too short to warrant its independent existence; taking an article from 64KB to 58KB would not solve any SIZE issues. (And by the way, there wasn't a SIZE issue to begin with, as that guideline counts prose, not edit window bytes. There was under 10KB of countable prose in the article at the time of splitting, and even being generous, there was probably only about another 20KB in the table). Sceptre ^(talk) 03:02, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Next time you nominate an article for AFD, read the previous AfD. The size issue was not the only reason the article was split.

As for the rest, all I have seen provided are reasons to either improve or merge the article, not to delete it. For the change log deletion argument, I went to look at the wording, and apparently it was removed from WP:NOT, as it was apparently added without consensus. Other than that issue (which apparently there is no consensus for), I'd argue for why the article should be kept, but I'm not aware of any other valid deletion reasons given. All the others issues can be solved by improving the article, or if push comes to shove, merging. - Sudo Ghost 03:29, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(Just to note, I had no part in removing that from WP:NOT in any way.) - Sudo Ghost 03:33, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The part in NOT about changelogs was removed by the creator of an article I nominated for deletion after the nomination. Nominators of AfDs cannot be expected to keep an eye on policies seven months before they want to nominate an article that won't exist for four months. Given the COI KelleyCook had in removing that part of NOT, I would argue that it remains in force regardless of the methods of originally adding it. Sceptre ^(talk) 15:49, 10 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The consensus on the AfD you linked seems to be that WP:NOT is not a strong reason to delete an article, but rather to change and improve an article. So I'm still not seeing any strong reason given to delete the article. - Sudo Ghost 20:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOT absolutely is a reason to delete an article, the version history AfD notwithstanding. That AfD was swamped with "keep-it's-useful" votes that encouraged an admin to close it early. Sceptre ^(talk) 20:14, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're citing a part of WP:NOT that wasn't included with any discussion or consensus as the only reason for deletion, when this issue, even if valid, can be solved by improving the article. As such, this is not a valid reason to delete this article. - Sudo Ghost 20:21, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You can't expect me to know the history of WP:NOT: if it's on the policy page, then it can be cited as policy. And as nine months passed before the creator of the article that was at AfD removed it, it's fair to say that it's just as valid as policy as anything else on the page. Sceptre ^(talk) 00:05, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, Rewrite or Move to other Wikis. Sceptre, I feel that you are being a bit strict to the point of being a WP:NOT nazi or whatever. If this article shouldn't be a single page by itself, then all we have to do is merge it back into the Jailbreak page. (Note: which would make the Jailbreak page way too long). I think this was split from the Jailbreak page, but if it was not, then this should stay as a separate page to prevent the lengthy articles problem. Also, since you recently deleted the link to this article on the Jailbreak page, I feel like you just want to get rid of this information for a reason or no reason. If this article is deleted without a valid reason, we would lose a lot of information. (I think some of these article deletions result in major losses of information that people would not really attempt to compile in the future, so I don't want to see this information get deleted). - M0rphzone (talk) 07:21, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(I am a newbie here. so if my comment is inappropriate, please delete my comment)I just think the original version (before splitted and removed the breaking status of different versions of iOS & devices) was useful, and was verified by millions of jailbreakers and many real softwares, so i think that should be kept.User:Marstone —Preceding undated comment added 13:37, 15 October 2011 (UTC).[reply]

Delete Even if it was well sourced this would be way too much detail for an encyclopedia. Steve Dufour (talk) 04:11, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't a valid reason. Many articles have timelines with info. Should they also be deleted just for having "too much info"? - M0rphzone (talk) 07:21, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I should have said too much detail about a very minor topic. An encyclopedia should have an article which informs a person who doesn't know much about the topic. A super-detailed, blow-by-blow account of everything that happened belongs on a different site, not an encyclopedia. Steve Dufour (talk) 16:48, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

that reason isn't valid either. there's no such thing as "very minor" on wp, there is notable and not notable, as determined by community consensus. if something turns out to be notable, there's no length limit or detail limit for the article as long as sources can be found for the included information. if something turns out to be non-notable, there's no article for it.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 17:10, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

keep—it seems that there is no wp policy for timelines in particular. the next closest thing i can think of is a list, since a timeline is essentially a list of events in the history of a given topic. so it seems reasonable to look to the list guidelines for guidance. oh, look! WP:SAL actually says that timelines are lists. this brings us to WP:LISTN, which states that A list topic is considered notable if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources. this seems to me to be obviously the case for this topic, given sources in the article and many, many more that are available elsewhere. the nominator doesn't actually seem to make any claims about notability in nominating statement, but instead worries that the article can't exist without violations of WP:V. first of all, that seems to be untrue given the refs in the article and many more available. second of all, it's not plausible that there are topics such that *any* article on them *must* be a violation of wp:v. if there are individual statements in this article which aren't verified, fix them or delete them. third, even if there were such topics, it's irrelevant in an afd. all notability policies boil down to the question of whether there are reliable sources that show the notability of the topic. if a subject intrinsically fails wp:v, presumably this will never be the case, so it's really not relevant as to whether the article should be deleted.— alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 17:36, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, now that I've given it a lead para. As far as I can tell this is a valid WP:SPLIT from the parent article. —SMALL JIM 16:20, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this has the notability to warrant an article. This guy certainly exists, but he has a very marginal documented effect on what are clearly a notable band. If anything, he could have a couple of (sourced) lines in Weezer (e.g. "...around this time, the band hired Karl Koch¹² to act as their webmaster—he would later go on to direct such-and-such music video¹³ and play keyboards at this live date.¹⁴") —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:56, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have been unable to locate significant reliable source coverage to to establish notability.
