List of North American birds[edit]

This over large article was created because it was thought to be a good idea to have a list of all birds that live in the North American continent. Unfortunately, the article was found to be too long to load in a reasonable time and a means of rectifying the problem was sought. The geographical scope of the article is Mexico, USA and Canada. Each of these countries has a complete list of resident birds, so the information in this list is located elsewhere (albeit lass conveniently). The suggested means of dealing with this list is to split it and therefore there would be no advantage over the lists mentioned above. Therefore, I believe this list should be deleted and the articles on the individual countries relied upon to serve its purpose. Op47 (talk) 23:27, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • If the list is to be split into multiple parts then the article should be retained as a disambiguation page - deletion is not necessary or even desirable. In any case the scope of this article is larger than Mexico, the USA and Canada, as North America includes Central America, the Caribbean and Greenland. Hut 8.5 17:05, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I doubt that the birds recognise national frontiers and so natural geography is a better basis for a list than political geography. Note also that Audubon's work covered all of North America including the Canada Goose, for example, and we should do no less. Warden (talk) 20:20, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: splitting by type of bird is also possible. Siuenti (talk) 00:10, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and probably convert it to a list-of-lists. There's no policy-based reason for deletion articulated, and I'm sure we can figure out a reasonable target to leave at this entirely intuitive title name. Jclemens (talk) 00:30, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I really don't like the fixation that WP editors have with lists (although I have created a few myself). This list is a bit "clunky" and something needs to be done with it. Are the birds endemic, naturalised, introduced etc? Which countries are they found in? We need to realise thatt there are comp[licated things such as political and biogeographical boudaries and that most birds can fly. Need to have it as a sortable table or as a big fat dab page to all sorts of other lists. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 04:56, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (!!) and eventually split by systematic groups, like Passerines and non- Passerines or smaller groups (but not too small). North America is and integral area, geographically and biogeographically, birds don't know borders and such list is very interesting. Darekk2 (talk) 10:00, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge each cheerleading squad into their respective teams' articles. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:04, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Content of the article can be cleaned up, but NBA cheerleaders do exist are are notable. WP:UGLY is not a reason to delete. Sources mention their early beginnings in the NBA with groups like the Laker Girls at ESPN, Boston being the last team to get cheerleaders USA Today Bloomberg book by Rick Pitino, background of the individuals Christian Science Monitor Sports Illustrated, male NBA dancers book. A list of all the teams' cheerleader squad names is notable to include here.—Bagumba (talk) 00:11, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The nominator's concern that there is no "NBA Cheerleading League" has been addressed. The lead was reworded to have the article be about the cheerleaders in the NBA and not a league of cheerleaders.—Bagumba (talk) 00:22, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge. Merge content to articles regarding respective NBA parent teams per Jrcla's comment above. Even if two or more of these cheerleading squads are deemed to marginally notable per WP:ORG and/or WP:GNG, there is neither enough suitable content nor encyclopedia value to justify stand-alone Wikipedia articles. A two or three-sentence paragraph within the parent NBA team articles would be about the right amount of coverage that these subjects merit. To quote WP:GNG, technical satisfaction of the notability guidelines is "not a guarantee . . . that a subject is suitable for inclusion." Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 23:01, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable per WP:BIO. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 22:52, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is, in fact, no support in WP:BIO for deletion. Why didn't the nominator put the other NBC Dateline personalities, Lester Holt, Chris Hansen, Hoda Kotb, Josh Mankiewicz, Keith Morrison, and Dennis Murphy up for deletion if the nominator sees some guideline in WP:BIO that calls for deletion here? WP:BIO in fact states that the subject is "presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." That is satisfied here, as she's the subject of an Ontario newspaper story and a "Notable Alumni" story in a UWO publication, aside from bios at the websites of media she's worked at and this lengthy article in Maclean's, a national (Canada) magazine.. More intuitively, someone who is not just a local journalist but has been a TV journalist for a major U.S. network for years is hardly obscure. Deleting this article would create a redlink in the People of ABC News template (she just joined NBC News, however, so I will be moving her to the NBC template) and many other articles. Finally, it improves Wikipedia's utility as a reference tool to enable the wikilinking of byline names in cited sources so that the reliability of the source can be more readily assessed (by going to the bio of the news item author to get more information about the person's journalistic bone fides). As such, unless a journalist only works for local, small market media, I suggest the bio be kept absent a compelling reason to delete. This article has been visited more than 7700 times just since October 1. Wikipedia is here to inform and deletion here undermines that objective instead of advancing it.--Brian Dell (talk) 06:12, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (but improve): Keep per WP:SIGCOV and the diverse articles over time that mention her. This is another case, however, where the deletion nomination could lead to significant improvement in the article. There is more out there about her that could build up the article into something less vulnerable to deletion. By Wikipedia standards this is not a C-class article but rather on the borderline of Start and Stub as it is incomplete. Crtew (talk) 20:47, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Declined WP:PROD.

Verifiability. See also point 3 of Wikipedia:IINFO#IINFO: "Long and sprawling lists of statistics may be confusing to readers and reduce the readability and neatness of our articles. In addition, articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader."

Delete. One of the main problems is that the MGP declines to release the list of attributes -- they consider it a trade secret. Thus, the attributes are gained by looking at the attributes for particular songs as they are playing. It's not really a suitable project for Wikipedia; Wikisource might like it maybe? But it's still an original list. --jpgordon::==( o ) 21:44, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

President Obama called him to thank him for his work. The Washington Post also talked about his speech at a Washington panel on how the next U.S. president can combat violent Islamic extremism. This huffington post bio is useful also. The question I think is can we write a credible article about this man with citations of reliable sources? I think we can. Let's not stretch it further.

  • Weak Keep Per Mrt3366's evidence, it seems if one were to fix up the article using those sources, the article could establish notability. However, I am not 100% sure about this, and I think we could find this out best if we did it. Unless I decide to go to sleep instead or get sidetracked, I will try this approach out for myself. Greengreengreenred 07:04, 15 December 2012 (UTC) Analysis of those sources shows a lack of notability for this article. Therefore, my vote is Delete.

Article about an artist that relies on routine local coverage (and his Facebook page) to establish notability. Has not released any actual albums, and some of the claims in the bio about collaborations with other artists are unsourced and cannot be verified.

  • Redirect The 4 references come from 3 different sources. Only one of the references, #1, provides any significant coverage of him. References #1 & #2 though are not independent of him as they are from the website of the child of one of the raiders. #3 just mentions that he was one of the 8 raiders that were captured. #4 is the citation for his DFC and from the looks of it was just boiler plated with a majority of the awards.

Weak Keep Persons who are only mentioned in primary docs like genealogical records or family histories are excluded from Wikipedia but this subject is not in that category. There's the opportunity for some encyclopedic info about the PoW experience that doesn't fit with the Doolittle raid article because of the post-raid focus. Why does Wikipedia have a Category:Recipients_of_the_Distinguished_Flying_Cross_(United_States) if this award is common? In any case, if this subject ends up the last survivor of the raid that will add to notability and it would be a pain to have lost the work for an article about the last survivor because of deletion.--Brian Dell (talk) 07:01, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Nobody said the DFC was "common". No true gallantry decoration is actually "common". But that doesn't mean we should have an article for every one of the millions who have been awarded gallantry decorations over the centuries. There has to be a limit. And the limit is generally regarded as a single award of a country's highest gallantry award, two or more awards of the next highest or multiple awards of lower decorations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:03, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is potential for much information if reliable sources for the information can be found. At this point reliable sources have not been found that provide significant coverage of Hite. There is plenty of information about the Raid itself but only minor information about Hite. If additional information is published/found in the future then the article can be recreated. In the unlikely event that the article is deleted and not just redirected the work that went into writing it is not lost but simply hidden from the view of the majority of viewers. Admins can retrieve the work and provide a starting point for an expanded article. GB fan 12:50, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep as the nomination is fatally flawed. Wikipedia has literally hundreds of pages of people who are of dubious notability.

Does not pass WP:BKCRIT. As a dōjinshi manga, it was just self published, and there are no RS that shows it was especially notable in that field. Existing sources are not RS: just blog or forum pieces. Search of Japanese sources comes up with no RS.

  • Keep The title "Defected Girl" may be wrong, but it's autor's translation (欠損少女). Looks like, that Romantic Fool doesn't speak english at the high level. But he was a creator of this manga, so he can named his creation as he want. The main character of this manga, Bikko, is very popular on the imageboards and forums. I'm the autor of the uk:Defected Girl article. This character have a lot of fans, so I think that this article should be present on the english wikipedia. Silent hill Hunter (talk) 12:10, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever the title should be, the manga needs to pass basic notability criteria to have an article on Wikipedia, such as WP:GNG and WP:BKCRIT. Having some mentions on imageboards and forums is not sufficient. There must be independent, reliable sources that discuss the work in detail, or proof of notability such as major prizes. Merely saying here it has lots of fans is not proof. You must provide multiple reliable sources that show it does have significant popularity. Note that according to WP:RS, blogs and forums are not usually reliable sources. Michitaro (talk) 08:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Even searching using the Japanese title doesn't give me anything relevant. And the main argument for deletion here is not because it has a wrong title, it's that it has received little-to-no coverage in reliable sources, which is common to most doujin works. Being popular in forums, blogs or imageboards does not automatically establish notability. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:19, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First, which article would you think it might be best to merge with? Second, are you arguing that this should be an article on the character, instead of on the manga? I thought of that possibility as well, but again, while the searches show the character does exist in various places on the net, since there are no reliable secondary sources on that character that I can find, it is hard to determine just how notable this character is.

I am somewhat familiar with Bikko - enough to recognise her but I would struggle to name her, and while I knew she was an original character I could not have named the work she was from or even the artist.

  • Psst! You'll be wanting to read what a Google Books search turns up, and revising your opinion on original research, well before WikiProject Mathematics gets wind of this AFD discussion. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 22:46, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • All articles require references. All. As it stands it looks like OR. It has cute mathematical stuff in it, but what it looks like is what it looks like. I'm not a mathematician. Folk who understand this stuff should reference it, or it should go. Why are we whispering? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:18, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Because I was giving you a chance to save time and face and avoid being told the same thing by a lot of people. It takes less than 30 seconds to come up with sourcing for this with a Google Books search, and following deletion policy you should have done that search for sources yourself before thinking of AFD. The original step-by-step instructions that used to be in our deletion and verifiability policies are preserved at User:Uncle G/Wikipedia triage#What to do. They're still in deletion policy, except that they've been obscured by people trying to remove instructions on how to actually put policy into practice and simply state the goal without any guide to getting there, which hasn't really been a positive step in hindsight. (People handled this better years ago, when the policy directly told them what to do.) In this instance, looking for sources yourself would have turned up a boatload, including the OUP Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy in addition to the Cambridge one already mentioned. If one doesn't understand a subject, by the way, then one's evaluation of whether something is original research is fairly worthless. One has to at least looked for sources, and read them and compared what they say to what the article says, to determine whether something is a novel hypothesis not propounded outwith Wikipedia. Things don't simply become original research because of what an article looks like. One has to read, understand, and check. Uncle G (talk) 01:36, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The Quantifier shift fallacy (also called an illicit quantifier shift), is a well-known concept in logic and philosophy. A simple Google search turns up many pages that discuss the concept: [1], [2], [3]. These links lead to the references like,
    • Robert Audi (General Editor), The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy (Second Edition), 1999, pp. 272-3.
    • A. R. Lacey, Dictionary of Philosophy (Third Revised Edition) (Barnes & Noble, 1996).
    • Introduction to Logic, Harry J. Gensler, p. 220
  • not to mention the books that Uncle G mentioned. The topic is very notable. The article does need references, but AfD is not for cleanup WP:NOTFORCLEANUP and the article should be kept. Mark viking (talk) 23:15, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • If you are sure of your ground, instead of quoting essays, put the references in. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:20, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep; in addition to the sources mentioned above, it is mentioned with its own entry "quantifier-shift fallacy" in Dictionary of Philosophy: Revised Second Edition, by Antony G. Flew, and with its own entry in Historical Dictionary of Logic by Harry J. Gensler. The fact that the fallacy is mentioned in numerous textbooks and has its own entry in "dictionaries" like these is clear evidence of notability. The nominator should take heed of WP:BEFORE #B2. — Carl (CBM · talk) 01:27, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Nominator's argument that this is OR appears to rely on the lack of references in the article (and a misunderstanding of what it means to be OR), but both are easily remedied. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:25, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep i've now added the references mentioned here, but not any inlines.--Salix (talk): 10:42, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indiscriminate list, in that I see -- as a conservative estimate -- 5,000 possible list entries. As the list itself says; "Its alumni hence includes the vast majority of the country's preeminent legal professionals, including academics, supreme court justices, senior civil servants, and a large number of politicians" and businessmen could be added to that. Much better off being categorized, if we diffuse the category "University of Oslo alumni" which has become large. Geschichte (talk) 12:56, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, completely standard list of notable alumni of a notable educational institution that easily satisfies WP:LISTPURP, with no reason not to also have a complementary category per WP:CLN. This nomination seems to simply stem from a lack of experience with or awareness of lists of this kind (though that's surprising), because as with nearly all lists of people (by nationality, by occupation, by place of origin, etc.) it is ordinary and uncontroversial practice to limit such lists only to those people who merit articles, as should have been obvious from the fact that it currently only contains bluelinks.

This list can be nothing other than subjective WP:OR. It was PRODded, but deprodded without comment by the original editor.

  • Keep: the disambig page Blessing in Disguise formerly contained only music and drama items, even though examples of these exist in the real world.
For example, the disasterous crash of the Zeppelin LZ 4, an early airship, resulted in a tidal wave of financial donations from the public which put the venture onto a sound financial position, making the disaster a blessing in disguise'. This should be put onto a page(s) with blessing in disguise in its title, and the Zeppelin page should be make to refer to these Blessing in Disguise page(s).
And there are other real examples, which can be added as they are noticed.

  • Delete. When it comes down to it, the definition of "blessing in disguise" is something that is ultimately a matter of personal opinion. Some think that a BID is something that initially looks bad but is revealed to be something good. Others think it's something that is bad that eventually produces something that is for the greater good. The point is that the definition is incredibly loose and by the above argument over a zeppelin crash I could make the argument that the Holocaust was a "blessing in disguise" because it produced several wonderful pieces of literature, art, and plays that were inspired by people's experiences or written during the Holocaust. You might initially think that's a big of an overly severe example, but that's pretty much the epitome of what ClarityFiend's argument states. Everything everywhere could have something that could be considered a "blessing in disguise" by someone. There is no benefit that would be seen as so overwhelmingly good that it would be a unanimous blessing in disguise. Because the definition itself is so loose and the qualifications for fitting that definition (assuming we could all agree on an exact definition) would be even more debatable, there is no reason why this page passes notability guidelines.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:45, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I also argue against the concept of an article entitled Events which have been called "a blessing in disguise" because at what point would an event merit a mention on a page like that? Would it make the list if one source comments that it is? Ten sources? Even if the one person mentioning it was a very notable person (such as the Pope or President Obama), would that really make it worth mentioning in the list if nobody else says the same or comments on the notable person's comment? It's just such a loose criteria for lists such as these and it's unlikely that we'd find enough people commenting on the "blessing in disguise" for there to be any true consensus. It'd ultimately be an article based on opinion as to what merits being placed in the article and what wouldn't.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:52, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated this page for deletion as it is unsourced material which many readers will find controversial. There is a lot of disagreement regarding electronic dance genres, and it is best to wait for the term to become established over time than to create an unprofessional page.

There is also a related MFD going on about a draft page. Earlier tonight I speedied this as a G4 recreate of a deleted article, but a user asked that I undelete because they say they made substantial changes. I'm still not seeing a claim to notability, though. The sources used mostly mention Alvey because they're interviewing him about roller coasters or games that the articles are really about (e.g. [7][8][9]). Some of the articles go into more detail about him, e.g. 'here's how he became a roller coaster expert', but I suspect scarcely more than is written in this article can ever be written and referenced. Delete. delldot ∇. 08:23, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I'm the user that asked delldot to restore the article and I have been working on improving it. The subject, Robb Alvey, has been covered extensively in a number of news sources because of his activities with roller coasters, such as:
Christopher Kompanek (August 4, 2012). "High times". New York Post. Retrieved December 20, 2012.
Lee Filas (August 14, 2010). "A Venomous Debate". Daily Herald. Retrieved December 20, 2012.
Bianca Clare (April 1, 2011). "Ride reviewer on a roll". Gold Coast Mail. Retrieved December 21, 2012.
Not to mention that there's a significant amount of coverage written about his roller coaster website and the international tours he hosts. He was also host and expert on the Insane Coaster Wars television series. He is also a longtime video game producer at Activision, having worked on a number of games. I think all of this more than adds up to show notability. SilverserenC 08:33, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Except, during the previous AfD, the article looked like this, which clearly doesn't properly represent the notability of the subject. Therefore, the users commenting back then were not informed about such sources and the current article does a much better job expressing them. So you need to make an argument based on the current article related to the notability guidelines and not reference old discussions. SilverserenC 03:41, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Self promotion has nothing to do with notability. We could have the article entirely be written by the subject themselves and it wouldn't matter, so long as they were notable. It just means that the article needs to be cleaned up to make sure it reads neutrally. And it clearly meets the General Notability Guideline. SilverserenC 08:21, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "In particular, if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual."

  • The sources aren't covering him in the context of a single event. None of the stuff about him is an event. Furthermore, he is clearly not a low-profile individual, considering he's a video game producer that has done a ton of interviews.

  • That's a nice opinion there, but the articles are entirely about him, regardless of whether you think they are "plugged" or not since you have no proof in that regard. The sources do not add up to notability, per the General Notability Guideline. SilverserenC 04:33, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Whether or not he meets the General Notability Guidelines is a matter of opinion. You are of the opinion that he does not and I am of the opinion that there is enough coverage that he does meet the guideline. As far as WP:A7 is concerned, that does not apply because it has nothing to do with sources. It only has to do with the existence of a credible claim of significance. The article does make a credible claim of significance as multiple sources call him a roller coaster expert. GB fan 17:05, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would also suggest that being a producer for a major video game company (Activision) would be enough for the article to not be eligible for A7. That in itself may or may not be enough for the article to survive deletion but A7 sets a lower bar than notability and this article does not meet that criteria.--64.229.167.20 (talk) 22:26, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not say he is a major producer for Activision, it says he is a producer for activision. There are two sources in the paragraph that you removed that says he is a producer for activision. GB fan 00:18, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Taking a closer look that may not be right after all. The Boy and his blob article does mention him as producer but the only reference to Actvision is a question of whether or not Activision`s co-founder David Crane (the creator of the original games) was involved. Since Activision seems to be not involved in this project he most likely was involved with one of the other companies that made that game (Majesco the producer or WayForward the developer). The second link does involve Activision but it lists Alvey as the senior producer of Gray Matter Studios (the developer of the game) and not Activision (the producer) I stil believe there is enough to keep the article but it appears that it will need to be corrected to some extent.--64.229.167.20 (talk) 01:09, 28 December 2012 (UTC)--64.229.167.20 (talk) 01:09, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that, over his career as a video game producer, he's worked with a number of different companies and groups. Producers are one of the few kinds of people that have that sort of freedom, since they often aren't tied to just one company. This should probably be represented in the article and the section should be reworded to reflect that, since he did work with Activision for a time, as the sources note, but he appears to currently be working with WayForward Technologies. It would just take a bit of sorting through the games to find the timeline of who he's worked with, though. SilverserenC 03:37, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just to be clear I am not calling for deletion but simply that the article should be rewritten to clarify what companies he was a producer for and when.--64.229.167.20 (talk) 00:49, 29 December 2012 (UTC)--64.229.167.20 (talk) 00:49, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - previous AfD consensus was DELETE, lack of notability. Per computing articles guidelines, articles on blogs or forums are subject to deletion. significant portions of his visibility is as a forum operator. Arguably, his other aspects, video game producer and roller coaster 'expert' result in high profile behavior for self-promotion, but overall notability is still low. Minimal media coverage, even in trade media does not confer general notability.

Scubasteve442 (talk) 10:20, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hello, new editor. Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm glad you decided to join this discussion with your first edit. However, as you should know from reading the above discussion, the article that the previous AfD was considering was one that didn't have any proper references and the Delete decision was decided because of that. The current article is far different from that past version and more properly represents the notability of the subject.
It should also be noted that this is not a Computing article, but a biography of a living person, which means that the rules for the subject's notability would fall under WP:Notability (people). Within this, it is clear that the subject passes the basic guideline handily from the available references.
And as I noted in above discussion, claims of self-promotion need to be backed up with proof, otherwise they are just claims. Lastly, it is also quite clear that the media coverage is not minimal, but actually fairly expansive on the subject and spans a period of years. SilverserenC 10:51, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
No, I did not say that the article is self-promotion, rather that his media mentions are mostly self-promotion of his web presence. His general notability is nil, based on the small sampling of mentions in trade articles. His primary presence in media is from his hobby activity, roller coasters. His more notable contribution is as a video game producer, but he has virtually no media visibility as such. Also, as currently written, article seems to be out of date again, records show he no longer resides in California. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scubasteve442 (talk • contribs) 19:30, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The two of you seem to be contradicting each other. You're saying that his coverage in trade articles doesn't give the subject notability and, below, 67.249 says that there aren't any sources from trade periodicals, so he's non-notable.
However, if you actually look at the sources, you'd see that they are mainstream news periodicals. Furthermore, a Google Books search brings up coverage like this. Not to mention gaming periodical coverage like this, this, and this. SilverserenC 00:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

An article from an obscure Australian paper, and mentions in one or two other random stories does not cover "significant coverage." I also do not see a single source from a theme park "periodical." Also, no sources note him working for Activision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.200.232 (talk) 15:43, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are far more than mentions in the other sources. And coverage from subject specific periodicals isn't required. In fact having general news coverage is far more representative of notability, since the coverage isn't only from niche publications.
Secondly, you are being too literal. Alvey works for Gray Matter Interactive which is owned by Activision and they were specifically approached by Activision to work on the Call of Duty expansion. The article could certainly use some more clarification in that regard but he definitely worked with Activision. Oh, and thanks for having me go look for more sources, because I found a good one. SilverserenC 00:12, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep there appears to be enough coverage in mainstream sources to justify an article and the previous AFD is irrelevant to this discussion since this article is vastly improved compared to the version that was deleted previously.--64.229.167.20 (talk) 01:21, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ricci is given good secondary coverage here http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mma/news/20121213/mike-ricci/, here http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/video/mike-ricci-on-mmajunkiecom-radio/1851158127001 , and here http://ca.news.yahoo.com/montreal-mma-pros-gsp-macdonald-ricci-weigh-fighting-160448560--spt.html

WP:MMANOT says mutliple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. So I think Ricci should stay. I would also like to cite WP:TUF

  • Keep - has multiple fights to show notability. Has fought in Bellator and the UFC, therefore passing WP:MMANOT, especially when you consider he's fought in the Ultimate Fighter too and is a runner-up. Not many fighters can claim to have made it to the finals of the Ultimate Fighter. Is still with the company, so he'll only continue to have more UFC fights in the coming months. Silly nomination, imo. Paralympiakos (talk) 15:58, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - If the fight record is correct this fighter fails the WP:MMANOT fighters test. Specifically failing the support of notability 1 (Only reference listed in article from fight 2 years ago), notability 2 (has not fought for the highest title of a top tier MMA organization), and notability 3 (Fought at least three (3) fights for top tier MMA organizations). Notability is enduring and I notice that he's listed in an event that occured last night, so it's reasonable to assume that there'll be a burst of coverage about him in context of The Ultimate Fighter 16, but that does not make him notable enough for a stand alone article. Hasteur (talk) 23:13, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Very Weak Delete albeit without prejudice. The nominator is incorrect, as Ricci only fails by a single Top-Tier fight per WP:MMANOT. Nevertheless the creation of the article was technically premature and he technically requires that he wait until his third fight in a Top-Tier organization for a created article. I would have voted to Keep the article if he had another UFC fight scheduled at least, but he just had his first such fight (and second top-tier fight) 24 hours ago. If he had won his fight last night I would have still voted Keep on the grounds that he is the winner of a reality show (The Ultimate Fighter season 16 for outsiders), but he did not do that either. This article can be recreated when he passes WP:MMANOT and the previous version should be accessible then (and you can also simply copy it to your sandbox for now). Beansy (talk) 00:36, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is every !voter (who provides any rationale at all) quoting "MMANOT" as if it were a notability guideline? WP:ATHLETE is a notability guideline, as is WP:BASIC - both of which rely on evaluation of independent, reliable sources to determine if a subject is notable. Based on these guidelines and evaluation of the sources already in the article, this one looks like a keep. VQuakr (talk) 01:03, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Would you prefer WP:NMMA which says the same thing as WP:MMANOT in regards to MMA fighters? --TreyGeek (talk) 01:12, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly because it's the nuanced WP:SNG that has been customized for MMA fighters which we try to enforce a bit higher standard because there has been an issue in the past with all sorts of fighter articles being created. Hasteur (talk) 14:24, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It says at the top of WP:ATHLETE that exceptions can be made and also mentions using common sense. Why is the bar so low for boxers at WP:NBOX that they only have to appeared on one primetime or PPV Showtime/HBO event? MMA fighters must appear in 3? I think an exception could be made for Ricci because common sense says that he is going to get that third fight scheduled in the near future. Why go through the hassle when you know he is going to get the fight and this is doing to be be brought up again? PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 02:01, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFF. We're considering a MMA fighter here. Think the MMANOT essay is wrong, open a discussion there explaining a good reasoning. In the mean time we're evaluating based on the guidelines we have currently Hasteur (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — Only two bouts for top-tier organizations, the article fails WP:NMMA, but it can meet WP:GNG. He was a TUF runner-up (he will certainly fight again in the UFC), the only thing missing is more sources (more prose would also be good). If anyone can, please add more reliable sources (mainly in section "The Ultimate Fighter"). Poison Whiskey 02:23, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
he will certainly fight again - That's WP:CRYSTAL. For all we know he may fall and break his neck, thereby ending his MMA career. There's a reason why 3 appearances in a top tier MMA event are required so as to ensure that notable fighters are in the encyclopedia. Hasteur (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For all we know he may fall and break his neck - That's much more uncertain than my statement. He still can meet WP:GNG, just need more sources. Poison Whiskey 15:33, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep He's got his 3 notable fights. More so if you count Colton Smith who is a TUF winner. Also fought for a title in a top tier organization, and that title is "TUF 16 Winner". JonnyBonesJones (talk) 07:17, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm counting Bellator 14 and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Carwin vs. Team Nelson Finale as 2 events. I note the MMANOT does not determine if Tournements like TUF count as an individual event or multiple events. Hasteur (talk) 15:16, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • MManot is not policy, WP:ATHLETE is. Sure there is an mma part but it does say at the very top "It is a generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow, though it is best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply". This is one of those cases. He passes Wikipedia:GNG so lets have some common sense. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 04:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Would you like to check your bias? HINT: You should. Considering that the essay is a rough consensus established by several long time editors from both within and without the MMA project, been cited by administrators in closing, and upheld by administrators at DRV, it's reasonable to use it as a strong check as a Specific Notability Guideline for MMA based articles. Hasteur (talk) 12:48, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing wrong with citing an essay in the interest of being concise - basically saying, "I think this subject is/ is not notable for the reasons outlined here." This should not be confused (as you seem to be) with an actual guideline. Proposed guidelines need broad review by the community before being promoted, not local consensus by a Wikiproject. VQuakr (talk) 17:18, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hastuer: I guess I am biased towards the fact that he had exhibition fights on Spike TV outside of the TUF finale and the Bellator card, and the fact that he is mentioned in the yahoo news article in the title along with GSP and Rory Mcdonald would beef up that bias. I guess being on TV aand in print one too many times leads to a bias where I think people start becoming notable. Please explain to me WHy Ricci's article should be deleted other than I am biased
edit:Hmm, I think I know what you mean. Even if I have fought (and for all you know I could be full of hot air. Anyone can get an amateur fight. One only has to call the local bush league, or go down to the bar after last call) I think it is ok if I point out a couple of independent sources along with some commentary. Are you an MMA fan Hasteur? If so you should check your bias. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 17:33, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete, and recreate if he fights in the UFC again. He fails WP:NMMA right now, and while he's likely to get another top tier fight, it's still WP:CRYSTAL to assume that. CaSJer (talk) 16:55, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment May I also point out that Mike Ricci is a TUF Finalist, and fought Colton Smith for the title "TUF 16 winner", which is a title for a top tier organization? JonnyBonesJones (talk) 01:48, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment For everyone saying he needs one more fight I say read this WP:NOTTEMPORARY, and then consider him passing Per WP:GNG. I'd say he is in and any additional fights/notability he gains only serves to increase the prosaic content of his page.

{{Good evening. My name is Kushal Gupta and I have co-founder of tutoringreviews.org. Our non-profit website is a platform for reviews about tutoring and language companies. We are beginning to incorporate our research in the test preparation and language industry by making valid, verifiable updates to wikipedia. We plan, especially, to make changes to the existing Princeton Review page (which is very basic indeed). We will also make draft pages for important companies who are major actors in these industries - including Advantage Testing. Since these companies are major actors in these industries, in the interests of full disclosure and transparency, we feel potential students should know as much as possible about the companys' backgrounds, history, objectives, and so forth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tutoringreviews (talk • contribs) 07:33, 22 December 2012‎ (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, This is Kushal Gupta again, editor of tutoringreviews.org. I wanted to explain our perspective on notability of the Jefferson Prep Education institute. They have received significant buzz in the tutoring world because of their free tutoring and SAT programs at inner city schools, and because of their work for rebuilding micro-schools in Haiti.

  • It was on the side, agreed. But I am right. I just read the deletion of UFC 157 (sorry for not linking), and the admin kww (well-known and quite reasonable) just proved, with the help of mtKing, that any and all future UFC events will and shall be deleted on the spot. I can think of exceptions, but that is in line of "force majour" (I probably misspelt that one). It is now 99% guaranteed that future UFC events will be deleted.
I tend to not to vote on those AfD because I know the result. With 48 votes, 50% keep votes, that is the biggest AfD debate I've seen regarding UFC events (future).

  • Keep per WP:NOTDUP. Having a list article for the same topic as a category is (per WP:NOTDUP) "...considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." Furthermore, per WP:NOTDUP, "...arguing that a category duplicates a list (or vice versa) at a deletion discussion is not a valid reason for deletion and should be avoided." Makes sense, because categories cannot be sourced or elaborated upon, while articles can. Since the Firearm article is rather lengthy, this is a reasonable WP:SPINOFF of it.

Fails WP:NSONG all criteria MJH (talk) 02:18, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Dark Adrenaline. Probably not enough for a standalone article but would be worth summarising in the album article. --Michig (talk) 08:32, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The song has received quite some critical reception an media coverage even before being released. It will gain even more after its release. --Orpheuss (talk) 13:24, 10 dic 2012‎
  • Comment - I read all the citations, and they may support the album having an article. Only one mentions this song outside a listing, and it just says that they are making a video. There does not appear to be a repeated substantial discussion of this song. Looking on google, all I find are lyric sites and content provided by the band, nothing 3rd party. I listened to their live performance in the music store, it is a good song!. ---MJH (talk) 14:35, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - WP:NSONG has very direct criteria. 1. ranked on a national or significant music listing. 2. won a significant award or achievement. 3. Been covered by multiple notable musicians. So far the song has achieved none of these three criteria despite some press recognition and ultimately my reasons for a delete argument. Mkdwtalk 09:39, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Fails WP:NSONGS. There are a lot of references there, but when we remove the useless tweets and whatnot, what we have is a case for the notability of the album. I cannot even recommend a redirect, since it's not a plausible search term. People have got to stop assuming that notability is automagically inherited. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 03:00, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Google News archives found several results, indicating he was best known for being based in Detroit and the 2006 nomination (they also mention that he is an Army veteran and former police officer), one of the links, this one offers several details about him. This news article notes he "raised little money and trails badly in the polls" and this isn't surprising if he only gained 46%. The article claims he was the first black candidate for Michigan Attorney General in 1974 which is significant but the article can't be kept simply because of this. This news article offers details about his police career and mentions his wife is a judge. Another news article from the time of his nomination here offers additional details about his life but all of this is insufficient. SwisterTwister talk 19:53, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Fails WP:GNG--Nixie9 (talk) 19:05, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I think his political run as the first black candidate for a high-ranking state office is notable; it received significant news coverage at the time, which noted him because of the uniqueness of his run for office. Under WP:POLITICIAN, for someone who was unelected, the requirement is only significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the article subject himself. While a Google search finds only his website (obviously, not independent) a deeper look demonstrates far more significant news coverage from 2006. -- Lord Roem (talk) 20:35, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete I see Lord Roem's point, but I lean towards his cited articles being WP:ROUTINE. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:06, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't think WP:ROUTINE applies here; the coverage is not just "here is who's on the ballot", but "hey, there's something interesting that's getting attention here". For example, this article quotes Howard Dean, former DNC Chair, about mobilizing and increasing African-American turnout. It also mentions his race as uniquely important/interesting about the nomination. With this, we have an independent source which speaks to the the Attorney General race in a non-routine way. Lord Roem (talk) 20:01, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • The article cited talks about Dean's comments and only briefly mentions Williams. It's not about him. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 15:03, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Yes, that's true, but it's certainly not 'routine' or 'run-of-the-mill' coverage. He's mentioned specifically in the context of Democrats trying to create a more diverse ticket. Lord Roem (talk) 07:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A defunct UK record label that appears to fail WP:N and WP:CORPDEPTH. Searches in GNews archives and Books are only providing passing mentions. Northamerica1000(talk) 03:37, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Please do not use "defunct" as one of the reasons for deleting an article about a business, since Wikipedia is not a Yellow Pages directory of businesses currently in operation, and since notability is not temporary. The only question is "Was it ever notable?" Edison (talk) 16:24, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello Edison. "Defunct" was used simply to describe the label, and is not a deletion rationale. Per WP:NTEMP, "once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage" in accordance with the general notability guideline, it does not need to have ongoing coverage."

  • Weak delete - I was able to find a couple of passing mentions (here and here in old Billboard magazines and here in Blues & Soul) but nothing that could be considered "significant coverage". I'm conscious that the subject was an independent label that operated through the 80s and 90s and closed more than 10 years ago. Online coverage is unlikely and there's just no way of knowing if contemporary media coverage (from the 80s and 90s) would been enough to consider the subject notable. Happy to consider anything anyone finds but for now, there's no evidence this was notable then (per WP:NOTTEMP) or is notable now (per WP:GNG or WP:CORPDEPTH).

Non-notable band that fails WP:NBAND. I can't locate any evidence of charting anywhere, major tours or significant third party coverage. So non-notable that Allmusic didn't even do the obligatory one paragraph blurb about them. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:03, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - I found a punknews.org profile here which provides some news stories relevant to the band members but the best ones are at the bottom, the earliest (June-September 2006). While searching Google News with one of their albums, Rage of Discipline, I found two reviews here and here. A different search provided event listings which are mostly 2005 and 2006 and a different search provided a German link here for an event. I also found an interview here which mentions the band's former name Invasion. A search with Righteous Jams adding "Joey Cardona" and "Jesse Standhard" provided nothing but a search with "JC" (an alias of Cardona's) provided an event listing. A search with Elgin James provided a news article related to his arrest.

Albertosabino, thank you for coming here to alert us of the statement on the talk page. As it was not posted on this discussion, it could easily have been overlooked. I have looked at the links you listed, and many of them cannot be accepted because they are photographs with a namecheck in the caption - although they do demonstrate that you are successful, we need extensive editorial text about you written by third parties. We cannot accept Facebook or many self-published blogs/sites because these are not considered reliable sources for Wikipedia purposes - we need text that has been written with editorial control. Having said this, these sources would pass as "reliable sources" I feel: 1; 2 needs someone who can read the language but definitely seems to be a reliable source; 3 - being chosen to represent Brazil for a BBC interview at the London Olympics is a nice factoid. I couldn't get this to open in Google Translate, but it looked like a potentially valid RS to me, although if it is a self published blog rather than an online magazine using Blogspot as a host, then it is problematic. The sources do demonstrate that you are very well known in your native Brazil, and that your jewellery is worn quite widely, BUT the problem is that apart from the Google News hit, probably, all your links are a bit borderline notability and/or unable to be accepted as a source. Also, you should not be editing your own article due to conflict of interest. Mabalu (talk) 02:22, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Perhaps more emphasis should be placed on the movie being independent cinema, but I see no reason to remove it (at least now). There's a good chance that it would be re-written if it was deleted, since Rick Angell has a number of video views from legitimate media sources covering him on Youtube, including a New York Times page about his filmography [15]. That doesn't qualify him as famous, but a 5 year old documentary coinciding with current events should warrant something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgentOrangish (talk • contribs) 06:07, 16 December 2012 (UTC) — AgentOrangish [reply]
    • Yet again, that's not evidence of notability. A likely automatically generated page which doesn't even mention the article subject certainly doesn't meet our criteria. Even if the maker of the film is notable (which I see no evidence of, and we don't have an article on him either) that wouldn't make the film notable. If a page deleted by a deletion discussion is recreated without substantial improvements it can be deleted on sight. Hut 8.5 11:09, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

      • For a start notability requires actual evidence. Merely indicating that there is a source somewhere is not sufficient, you do actually have to produce the source in question. Secondly merely being reviewed doesn't necessarily confer notability, as the review would itself have to meet various criteria. NFILM gives several classes of reviews that don't qualify.

  • Delete. This film apparently was released only to local public access television, which generally does not convey much notability. It was then released to the Internet where it has received only 107 views so far on YouTube. The film is not even listed in the Internet Movie Database yet. The only sources that have been provided so far are the following:
    1. a link to a public access television station's program database, which admittedly does confirm that the film was shown there;
    2. a page on YouTube's copyright policy, which doesn't mention this film -- I think it is only being used to explain why different editions of the film have different music, but that says nothing about this film's notability;
    3. a press release (not an independent source); and
    4. links to where the film can be viewed on YouTube and the Internet Archive (which indicate that the film exists, but not that it is notable).

In summary, I don't think this film meets the notability criteria at WP:NFILM yet. If it ever does, the article can be re-created (hopefully using a less promotional writing style). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:41, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/James Bond (film character) was prematurely closed in September, when the article was redirected to James Bond (literary character). The same editor who created that redirect has recently recreated the article, thereby circumventing the original TfD, with no deletion review having taken place. The original rationale: "Redundant to James Bond in film", still applies. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 01:16, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It is true that a previous version of this article was nominated for deletion for being redundant to James Bond in film. As you can see at the previous AfD there was no consensus, but it was redirected it after the author of the article agreed to develop it in his sandbox. The article was therefore not deleted for covering a non-notable topic, but because the stub was redundant in its current form. Here are the two article versions for comparison:
First version that was redirected.
Second version that is fully developed.
The fact is the casting and cinematic interpretation of the James Bond character is a clearly notable topic that has been the subject of much secondary coverage. The developed version of the article is well sourced and covers the topic in an encyclopedic manner. The article is a credit to Wikipedia and there is absolutely no reason to delete it. It is neither redundant to James Bond in film or James Bond (literary character), which cover the production background of the film series and the literary background respectively. There is no significant overlap between the three articles, so deleting the article would result in the loss of substantial content. Betty Logan (talk) 01:34, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • You say "at the previous AfD there was no consensus", but ignore the fact that the previous AfD was prematurely closed. By you; even though you had opposed. No content need be lost; any original content can be incorporated into the pre-existing article, to which the more recent one is redundant. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:50, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You AfD'd it because you felt the article was redundant, which it was, as it stood. The author agreed to develop it in his sandbox and he redirected the article. The article simply didn't exist any more, so I closed the AfD since I didn't see the point of continuing an AfD over an article that no longer existed; everyone has better things to do with their time. Regardless of how an AfD is closed, an editor is entitled to recreate an article that is a substantially different version, which is the case here. If SchroCat had simply recreated the old version of the article with an extra paragraph or two I would reverted it myself, but he's created a comprehensive fully sourced article that clearly covers distinctly different ground to the article you claim it is redundant to. Betty Logan (talk) 11:36, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – the present substantial article bears little relation to the one discussed (inconclusively) in September. We now have 3 substantial and completely different articles: James Bond (literary character), James Bond in film and James Bond (film character). I would recommend that editors read all 3 properly before opining. Oculi (talk) 01:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Point of inquiry, why does Wikipedia need a seperate article for James bond as a literary character and as a film character, it's the same bloody character, why not just one page, it's like having 2 pages for Harry Potter or Hermionie Granger as both a literary and a film character, pointless in my opinion.Seasider91 (talk) 01:46, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's a fair question, but not a fair comparison. The Harry Potter character appears in seven books by a single author, and has been played by a single actor. By comparison, James Bond has an extended literary canon: besides the Fleming books, you have the many continuation novels by different authors, so there is a lot of ground to cover before you even get to the film casting. By the same token, the character has been interpreted in over 20 films by seven actors for fifty years, and the casting of the James Bond part is actually something of a cultural event, and then there is all the comparative analysis to cover too. You simply don't have that scale of coverage with Harry Potter. If you were to merge the articles it would be well over 100k, so it makes sense to divide the literary heritage and the film interpretations. Betty Logan (talk) 01:56, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • There are significant differences between the seven film Bonds alone (compare Niven to Craig, for example), let alone between the interpretations of the actors and the literary Bond. Actually there are significant differences between Fleming's Bond and the character as covered by Gardner and Benson too; the James Bond (literary character) article covers those differences as well - all well covered by reliable sources, as you would expect from a GA-rated article. - SchroCat (talk) 05:57, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Not sure that this argument about duplication is correct. I definitely see the article about the film character to be a separate entity from the literary incarnation, and I think that are distinct, notable and historical enough to warrant separate coverage and examinations. It also does not seem to duplicate James Bond in film because that's a treatment of the novels as a whole in film. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 02:27, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep not only the film and book canons are different, but the Bond films based on books and stories at times differ a lot. Also, as mentioned, by splitting the Bond film series contents - this, James Bond in film, List of James Bond films, Motifs in the James Bond film series - we can have focused pages on each topic instead of talking about them on a single, unwieldy and huge article. igordebraga ≠ 05:24, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep Question Could the nominator point out where the overlap in content lies? - SchroCat (talk) 05:42, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Simply repeating "it's redundant" doesn't cut it, and no evidence has been supplied to show where there is any overlap and I see nothing at WP:DEL-REASON that could possibly be applied here. There is clear blue water between this article and the JB in film and JB (literary character) articles. My "keep" now means that there are 16 editors who have said keep, and only the nominator who thinks the article must go. Could I suggest that the AfD is pulled and we can all get back to writing the encyclopaedia - we're moving into angels dancing on the head of a pin territory here. - SchroCat (talk) 04:03, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As per Betty Logan. At 100k, the merged article would become bloated and a distraction as a result of the sheer length, so it does seem the right thing to do to divide the literary version from the film interpretations. It would be helpful Andy to point out the overlap, per SchroCat's concern as I am stumped on this too. -- CassiantoTalk 05:53, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep One of the most notable popular culture figures with a staggering amount of coverage in reliable sources. This article is clearly appropriate and encyclopedic. I see no major overlapping and it is not redundant at all, James Bond in film covers all aspects, a general overview by film, this article centres around characterization by actor who played James Bond and focuses on information not yet covered. Major discredit to us to nominate this article and not think that we had reasons for creating it.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 11:37, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep James Bond in film is about the series as a whole, this article is about the specific character. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 13:09, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but Rename There's a fallacy in this title that it really isn't about the film character, but the actors that have played Bond - there's some discussion as to what elements each actor and the changing production team brought to the character, but for all purposes, there's no clear distinction made between Fleming's Bond and the movie Bond - they are meant to be the same character. My suggestion is that this really should be named "Actors who have played James Bond", or "James Bond actors" or something, which keep 99% of the content the same and fits the new approach. The alternative, which could be done, is to follow the Doctor Who example - the Doctor article describes the main character (here, the eq would be James Bond (literary character)), and then separate pages for each "iteration", like Tenth Doctor. I do think considering the film a separate character from the literary one is a falsehood and the title or article approach needs to be fixed to address that but the information is fine to keep. --MASEM (t) 14:16, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as a topic notable in its own right. The scope is well-defined. I do not see it as redundant with James Bond in film because this article focuses on the character and the actors who played him. The other article follows the production of the various films over the years. Of course it will touch on the casting of James Bond in the process; topics are not going to be completely separate from each other. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:34, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, i suggested a redirect to the literary character article in the first afd, due to the articles short length, and the fact (noted above), that its the same character. We normally dont want 2 articles for one person, whether real or fictional. In this revised version, the content is so extensive, and apparently notable, that placing it as a section in the literary character makes for too long an article. Splitting the character into the two articles makes sense, as long as there are adequate links both ways. I am neutral on whether the original AFD was seen to completion properly, and feel that is irrelevant now. Good article editing should trump any procedural concerns, per WP:IAR, i suppose. Renaming as "actors playing bond" is a possibility, to be discussed at the articles talk page, but the content as a separate article should stay regardless.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:40, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I voted to redirect in the last discussion, but I now favor a keep.

This heavy metal band from Parsippany, New Jersey appears to fail WP:BAND and WP:N. Source searches, including customized ones such as [16] and [17] just aren't providing any coverage whatsoever. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:48, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - No available third-party evidence to confirm their existence and notability and detailed searches including "1998", "New Jersey metal" and their albums provided nothing. Additionally, I attempted searching more information about the listed references but only found reviews at their website here. A different search provided this but it wouldn't help much or establish notability. As I was searching with their Ignition album, I found no reliable evidence so I plan to nominate that article for deletion as well. It's likely this was an indie band and probably never achieved any significant concerts or attention. SwisterTwister talk 23:50, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article about what seems to be a minor channel on Indian cable TV. References are mostly primary or seem to be unreliable, and ghits seem to return mostly self-generated content. I am also concerned because the creator Sociosquare (talk · contribs) seems to be an SPA that went through WP:AFC [18] unsuccessfully, so he decided to go ahead and just have a separate account Gauravmendiratta (talk · contribs) create it in articlespace (sock?). I am also nominating Zee Khana Khazana Channel, which was rejected repeatedly from AFC and is essentially the same thing. I believe this is WP:PROMO at best, and the channels simply don't seem to meet WP:GNG at least; with no prejudice to withdrawing the AFD if Indian editors with more knowledge about this can provide substantive sources. §FreeRangeFrog 21:23, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very heavy COI, perhaps autobiographical. Clearly written to be very flattering to the subject, although doesn't seem to rise to the level of CSD G11.

  • Keep - I just noticed this nestling between all the beauty queens and wannabe models. Dumas is the artistic director for an internationally renowned status brand, just as Lagerfeld is for Chanel, and Galliano used to be for Dior. This makes him extremely notable, with international coverage about him coming up on Google News. Yes, the article needs a major rewrite and fix, but he more than passes WP:GNG. The family argument - given that Hermès is very much a family-owned and oriented brand, much like Gucci and Versace - is not really an issue here. Mabalu (talk) 12:08, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. The main issue here is whether the article violates the WP:CRYSTAL policy that prohibits unverifiable speculation on future events and products. I have reviewed the article and the debate and come to that it does. There were a few keep votes after the relisting of the AFD, but the two first don't provide a substantive argument to the main issue (Neither "Looks like an article in its early stage" and "It's a start class article, but that's no reason for it to be deleted." address the issue; the article was not put on AFD because of its lack of development.) The next two keep votes do point to sources that attempt to address the WP:CRYSTAL concerns, but a few lines is not the significant coverage that WP:N asks for. Fleet Command's analysis also shows that much of the sourcing used in the article trying to address some of the concerns is sketchy at best.

Having looked at the article, I also note that some of the inline citations point either directly or indirectly to web forum discussions, something that does not qualify as a reliable source. Kww pointing out "Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors." from the CRYSTAL policy and Starblind pointing out that "Rumour-mongering isn't Wikipedia's job" also carries weight here.

I have considered the redirect and merge options that some suggested as an alternative, but with the target articles would contain little if any coverage of this subject matter, so Codename Lisa's concern about sending readers "on a wild goose chase" has merit.

  • Re-direct to Microsoft Windows. Google News has revealed lots of pages about this upcoming edition, and they even say that it will be released in 2013, which we're not too far away from (although it could be pushed back to 2014 if problems occur.) Is it possible that Windows 8 will still be the newest version of Microsoft Windows even as late as 2024?? Georgia guy (talk) 18:31, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi. Redirecting it to Microsoft Windows will only send readers on wild goose chase. Microsoft Windows has nothing on this subject. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 18:36, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Have there been any rumored versions of Windows that have been disproven altogether?? (Please triple-check your memory of Windows history. Back in 2004, Wikipedia talked about something called Windows Longhorn. Was it cancelled?? No, it was renamed Windows Vista.) Georgia guy (talk) 18:42, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Blackcomb" was not the final name of Windows 7. Windows Neptune and Cairo were both cancelled.--Jasper Deng (talk) 20:18, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neptune is part of what we now know as Windows XP, Cairo was a code name of Windows NT 4.0.--84.194.42.17 (talk) 15:30, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • KeepNeutral. Did anyone do a news search on this? I did, so the article is now expanded with several reliable sources so it meets the general notability guidelines. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:14, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect or delete there are several sources mentioning this popping up, but at the moment there's nothing to report, just rumour. I doubt MS will talk officially anytime soon either, as that would pretty much kill Win8 sales. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:29, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Surely that's irrelevant to the status of the article? Even if every reliable source thus reported so far turned out to be complete hogwash, because we go on verifiability, not truth, it doesn't matter. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 19:36, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rumour-mongering isn't Wikipedia's job, leave that to the blogs. I think you're misunderstanding "Verifiability, not truth", which is more about taking reliable sources over some random person's word ("I know JFK was killed by aliens, man, they told me so in a dream!"). It's not at all an encouragement of far-flung rumours and idle speculation. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:43, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • These rumors are no more notable than any other Microsoft OS rumors. --Jasper Deng (talk) 20:17, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not the only criteria, Ritchie333. If the material comes under WP:NOT, it doesn't matter how well sourced it is, and this comes under WP:NOT#CRYSTAL.—Kww(talk) 20:41, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Look down at point 5: Wikipedia is not a collection of product announcements and rumors. Certainly we can verify that the rumours exist, but the rumours themselves are not suitable content.—Kww(talk) 20:57, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's really for just opinion pieces and tabloid journalism, where one person randomly suspects something. In the case of this article, we have multiple sources converging on fairly basic an uncontroversial details. By all means remove any speculative stuff like features, but a top level stub that gives the name, dates of leaks and suspected shipping dates should suffice. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:21, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • My gut feeling, based on this, this and this, is that I would suspect if the article was deleted, it would be created in good faith in a week or two by someone who hadn't seen this discussion. For just that reason, I would favour at least a redirect.--Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:13, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hello, Ritchie. According to WP:R#DELETE, item #10, redirects that point to an article which contains virtually no information on the subject are candidates for deletion. Such redirects are evil. They send readers to s long irrelevant article and waste their time before they realizes the article contains no information on the subject. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 10:58, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's a guideline, which can be bent per WP:IAR, which I would do for reasons I have just described. Are you seriously telling me that somebody typing "Windows Blue", and going to a page on Microsoft Windows that has a small section on possible future versions (which is what a redirect will do), won't get what's going on? I reiterate - unless salted, the article has a high chance of simply being created by a random editor again. --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:26, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi. Microsoft Windows does not have any info on Windows Blue. Even if it had, there is a clear consensus that is a matter of WP:CRYSTAL. Remember, IAR says ignore rules to improve Wikipedia, not to irritate its readership. "The first and most important factor in Wikipedia for deciding whether to break or to adhere to a rule is whether or not it makes you more popular". (Fleet Command, 5 December 2012)
And don't worry about salting or re-creation. It is fixed in just a snap. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 15:27, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'm ducking out of this conversation as you're not really getting what I'm saying, I'm afraid. My concern is that the article will be recreated by somebody else soon, and we'll be back to AfD round 2, just like Windows 8. How do we avoid that? --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 15:41, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. I assure you, I do "get" what you say; I just don't share your concern, i.e. neither I am afraid of the article recreation nor I believe a redirect would stop it. (The fact that we are here proves that a redirect has already failed.) WP:CSD#G4 can deal with the case. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 08:28, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah fair enough, we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one. Long term I think an article will get established, even if it has to go through a bunch of AfDs or G4s first (such as just about any AfD that gets closed per WP:HAMMER) --Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi. Actually there are two good reason: (1) Sources do not verify its contents. The article introduces "Windows Blue" as a new version of Windows, while if you read its sources, none of them says so. They think Windows Blue is a rapid-update mechanism, name of a new update, an update roll out a feature pack or new version of Windows. (2) WP:CRYSTAL says rumors are not allowed, even if the article spreading the rumor is FA quality. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 18:45, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, previously Delete. Even though WP:CRYSTAL applies, there is enough coverage of this topic on a number of reliable websites that an article, even at this stage, may be warranted. Windows Vista, which had the longest development period, was first created in September 2003, so getting a year's head start on Windows Blue might not be such a bad idea. --GSK ● ✉ ✓ 18:31, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Theverge reached out to Microsoft for comment, however a company spokesperson refused to discuss Windows Blue. And Wes Miller, an analyst at Directions on Microsoft: "I think we witnessed a new mode of aggressive upgrade pricing this year with Windows 8, and Microsoft could well try that tactic again, really dropping in an incentive for frequent upgraders to do so, If (Windows Blue) is the full-fare cost of Windows, even for Windows 8 users, I can’t imagine that going over too well." IanMurrayWeb (talk) 05:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If I had to put a [failed verification] in front of every statement in the article, all four sourced statements would have received one. Let's have a look:
Article says
Windows Blue is the codename of an upcoming release of Microsoft Windows operating system.
The Verge source says
the company is planning to standardize on an approach, codenamed Blue, across Windows and Windows Phone in an effort to provide more regular updates to consumers
ZDNet source says
Blue is more of a feature pack, which would/could include be a rollup of fixes plus some new features
Softpedia source says
According to Verge blah blah
No offense guys, but I think you should read the source itself instead of just its name!
The rest of the stuff written in there do not have a source at all. Fleet Command (talk) 09:45, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect/merge for now until more verifiable information comes out - eg when the next version of Windows is in beta. For the redirect I would think something like History of Microsoft Windows #Future releases, which would briefly cover whatever official announcements or anything on the next release published in reliable and noteworthy sources. -Helvetica (talk) 20:04, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was dePRODed by creator but still fails to meet criteria. Concern was: 'Fails to meet notability criteria per WP:BAND' . Further searches have failed to reveal more reliable sources in number and scope. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 20:39, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, fails WP:BAND. —Theopolisme 22:20, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Possible keep - She has received some attention, with articles here, here, here and other probably not so reliable or notable links here. She has only released one album so far but receiving attention from LA Weekly and The Guardian is fairly significant and the listed articles offer some interesting details about her. I can continue searching and add them to the article later. SwisterTwister talk 00:05, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I performed another search (including at British sources BBC and Telegraph) trying to find other sources but I'm finding mostly blogs that probably wouldn't meet Wikipedia's requirements for sources. However, we should keep in mind that she is obviously starting a career so there aren't that many sources and she seems to be keeping a rather indie life at this time. SwisterTwister talk 02:29, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - As noted by SwisterTwister, there are a couple of independent reviews in major publications, technically meeting WP:GNG, and the Carson Daly bit appears to hit WP:BAND criterion #12. VQuakr (talk) 01:49, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Possible keep? - It is mentioned here by a Los Angeles FM radio station that "We've been playing her for months on Close to Home," and she is mentioned here in the official blog of PETA. Are these significant to notability criteria 1 or 11 at WP:BAND? Kemery720 (talk) 04:52, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Questions - Thanks for looking into this, SwisterTwister and VQuakr. I'm new to editing Wikipedia at this level of rigor. I have a couple questions: Is it significant that she has been booked twice at The Viper Room in the last 6 months? That's more than just a bar gig; that venue has a lot of prestige. Also, is the following significant? She currently has 39 ratings and 9 reviews on iTunes. By comparison, Christmas With the Beach Boys, a compilation of two previous Beach Boys Christmas albums, has only 31 ratings and 4 reviews. I don't know if iTunes user response is significant at all. Is this the appropriate place to ask these questions? Kemery720 (talk) 04:25, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this is an excellent place to discuss and ask questions about Meg Myers's notability as defined on Wikipedia. In my opinion the radio station is too local for criterion #11 (which calls for a "major network," not an individual station) and the PETA reference is pretty trivial. Since notability is not inherited, what clubs she has played is only relevant if it has resulted in coverage by reliable, third party sources. Similarly, social network and user generated content such as Facebook and iTunes do not convey notability. VQuakr (talk) 05:02, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • New Music Seminar - How about the New Music Seminar? She's listed in the "Artists On The Verge" top 100 chart and included in the compilation "New Music Seminar - Artist On The Verge 2012, Vol. 1". The New Music Seminar, discussed in articles here and here, is a notable musical conference which focuses largely on up-and-coming artists. I can't find a better source to provide evidence that a new and relatively unknown artist is, nonetheless, notable. Kemery720 (talk) 07:57, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
