The article is about an architectural firm that is of borderline notability: there is definitely one source that is reliable and independent (the Telegraph). But, that's about it. There is a blog piece on the Estates Gazette website but it is only incidental that the company is used to illustrate the topic at hand; it could quite happily be substituted with another company to make exactly the same point.
The other sources used in the article are reliable enough to establish the facts they are certifying, but they do not establish notability as they are not independent, secondary sources. In terms of finding other sources for the article, there's nothing on Google News, and I can't find anything that goes to satisfy WP:GNG. —Tom Morris (talk) 23:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I have been tracking this one for a while & have never been able to advance further than Tom Morris. At various times the article has taken on a distinctly promotional POV and/or a somewhat hagiographic stance regarding the founder of the Group ... but no real depth to it at all. - Sitush (talk) 00:08, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I'm sorry Prof. Buchmann but there is a clear consensus to delete this article. Please don't take offense to this. As it has already been mentioned, there are some truly despicable people with articles and there are some amazing people without articles or whose articles have been deleted.

- Delete We have a mechanism for evaluating scientists and scholars who have not received secondary coverage - it is WP:ACADEMIC, which evaluates the person's contributions to the field based in part on how often their work is cited by others. In this case, Dr. Buchmann's work is not cited enough to establish him as a leader in his field, and his academic positions do not meet the requirements either. Maybe a case of WP:TOOSOON. --MelanieN (talk) 01:37, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete seems like a rather unaccomplished (for the standards of wikipedia) dentist and a spam article with a ton of studies link but not matter to the article =(.LuciferWildCat (talk) 22:31, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Since I am not aware whether my contributions in the "talk" section have been noticed, I add them to the "deletion" discussion
- 1. Nomination: Second- or third-party nominations frequently come from politics, industry, associations or societies with strong interests (economic, strategic) into the nominated person. My achievements and merits in periodontology over the last 2 decades are resulting from independent scientific research. With the W:D. Miller Award the research was honored in Germany. My scientific paperwork became rapidly published by notable U.S. publishers (see references).
- 2. Conflict of interest: Scientific independence is an essential setting for creative research. My article encourages independency in life, career and research as the best principle for lifetime achievements.
- 3. Notability: At prior, I will not interfere with Wikipedias regulations for notability. If people living an extrordinary life are not worthy becoming designated for nomination, I will surrender. Accepting my accomplishments in life (4 daughters), career (5 universities, Interim Director in Muenster, Germany) and research (refer to publications and 2 german textbooks), Wikipedia will honor independency, creativity and engagement.
- From this points you may reconsider the nomination and the proposed deletion of the article.--Prof. Buchmann (talk) 21:11, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I hope you don't take offense to this nomination for deletion. Wikipedia has a fairly objective standard for article inclusion, and it does not attempt to judge the subject of an article positively or negatively. Some truly awful people have articles on Wikipedia, after all. You stated, "If people living an extrordinary life are not worthy becoming designated for nomination, I will surrender." That is indeed the case. The basic standard for determining a subject's notability (in other words, whether a subject merits inclusion) is coverage. Do reliable sources discuss the subject at length in a meaningful manner? It's possible for a person or thing to be very important but be relatively unknown. In those cases, Wikipedia can't have an article about it, for practical reasons. This encyclopedia, like every encyclopedia, is an aggregate of data. It can only provide information drawn from other sources. It does not introduce new information. That can be done by magazines, newspapers, books, TV shows, radio, other web sites, etc. Once published in such a manner, then that information can be used to have an article here. That is the only way for the information here to be even halfway credible. So please, don't take this badly, it's not a criticism of yourself, just possibly a reflection of the fact that what you've done has been low profile. -- Atama頭 21:35, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I am thankful for your compassionated reply!
- From your explanations I deduct that an article in Wikipedia America - is this correct? - has to be validated with informations from external reliable sources like magazines, newspapers, web sites etc. with the U.S.. However, if Wikipedia gets entries only from the english web, predominantly within the United States, it will not be surprising that you won’t find enough coverage since my current work and living environment is Europe. Then I understand that achievements allowing coverage in Wikipedia Europe, esp. single european countries, do not enable an article in Wikipedia America.--Prof. Buchmann (talk) 23:01, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- First of all, this is the English Wikipedia, not Wikipedia America—sources are not evaluated based on their geographic locations. Secondly, it is my understanding that notability can and often is established by non-English sources, although some coverage by English sources is ideal. Nonetheless, while I do not wish to devalue your work, I feel that there is insufficient evidence in either English or non-English sources to establish why an article on you fits the inclusion standards of Wikipedia. If you can provide sources to the contrary, please do so; it would be appreciated. Zzarch (talk) 00:02, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I now condensed my article into a brief and modest entry. Due to rapid development and changes of the web in the last decade, achievements before the millennium are not available on the web or have been deleted with multiple updates of sites. If appreciated, I will further add certifications and letters of references as additional sources to this article.--Prof. Buchmann (talk) 21:45, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Fails WP:PROF. Nothing personal Professor--GrapedApe (talk) 13:12, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Hold. According to wikipedias inclusion criteria WP:PROF the author meets points 1, 2 and 7:
1. The person's research has made significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources: See current entries in PubMed or in the articles history from Jan 12, 2012.
2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level: W.D. Miller Award 1998, the highest possible honor for german research scientists in that decade.
7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity: Textbook Patientengerechte Parodontologie, published by the renowned Thieme Medical Publishers Group.--Prof. Buchmann (talk) 22:35, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I'm not coming up with any coverage in reliable sources for this group; does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BAND. Gongshow Talk 07:38, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This band is almost certainly notable on the strength of their one single and gigs in Sydney. No-one here will have the resources to demonstrate it, however. A forum post references a feature in the notable Australian magazine Countdown, July '81. The single goes for $40 US these days. Their label released the first two INXS albums. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 18:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Without commenting on notability, I'm going to suggest this article ought to be a delete as a copyright violation, given that early versions of the page are a copy of text from the band's MySpace page http://www.myspace.com/theaffections . Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 03:27, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I would recommend reading the linked record company bio. It paints a picture of an Aussie pub band from the early 80s that failed to become notable. No albums, one single released, with no evidence of sales or airplay. Other than the record company bio, no sources provided, and seemingly nothing substantial from a WP:RS source from web search. Fails WP:GNG. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 01:16, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This should not be deleted. Although this band had a rather short life span they had a significant following at the time. They supported some of the biggest Aussie bands of the era including Cold Chisel and The Angels at venues such as Sydneys iconic Hordern Pavillion. There is info on the band here http://theaffections.tripod.com/online/. The band members have gone on to achieve significant success since then - Bass player George Ellis is now the conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and conducted the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games to an audience of over 3 billion people ref- http://www.georgeellis.com.au/bio.php . Brad Hayward wrote, directed and produced the Australian film Occasional Course Language and the Emy award winning tv series Scorched http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0177061/ . Greg Tolhurst writes books that are sold and studied worldwide and described on Amazon.com as 'It is not only the best book ever written on its subject, but among the best monographs dealing with legal doctrine published in recent years'. Rob Smith has written and produced six albums and there is reference to these as well as The Affections on his website http://www.robsmith.com.au/biog.htm
The Affections have apparently reunited and produced an album to be released in early 2012. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheKeeper14 (talk • contribs) 12:54, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Because as I stated above, it looks to me like his college career passes WP:GNG. We obviously disagree on that, and that's okay.

- Comment. "Its an orphan" is a statement about other articles, not this one, so is certainly in no way relevant to a deletion discussion. And I see no reason not to merge this to the article on the club that plays at this stadium, CF Sporting Mahonés (as the nominator should have found before nominating), rather than delete. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:37, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. The usual "reprimands" at AfD. I did look at the CF Sporting Mahonés article, which says they play at a redlinked Estadio Bintaufa.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:59, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That would appear to be contradicted by the sources found by clicking on the word "news" above. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:33, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I note that although you complain about me not doing "my work", you haven't taken the trouble to fix the article based on these sources. What's so amazing at these AfDs is those editors who don't seem to care how long unsourced garbagey articles remain on the encyclopedia (this particular article isn't the best example of that). The articles can be tagged for years and be an embarrassment to read, but if one nominates them for deletion, the nominator (not the creator, not the editors who've touched the article since creation) gets shot. Maybe WP:GARBAGE ought to be a standard in addition to WP:N. My rant aside, I have tried to pay closer attention to the complaints of some editors, and I recall doing searches before nominating this article. The Spanish part, of course, didn't help, but, still, I obviously didn't search carefully enough.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:51, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I'm trying to figure out whether the team CF Sporting Mahones playes at the Estadi Mahones or not. I looked at the website of the team ([8]), and found this (Google-translated): "Play their matches at the Estadio Municipal de Mahon, located in the Complex of Bintaufa. It has a capacity of approximately 3,500 spectators and its surface is natural grass. Since its inception, this has always been its stadium." The original Spanish is this: "Disputa sus encuentros en el Estadio Municipal de Mahón, situada en el complexo de Bintaufa. Tiene una capacidad aproximada de 3.500 espectadores y su superficie es de hierba natural. Desde su creación, este ha sido siempre su estadio." Assuming that Estadio Municipal de Mahon is the "Estadi Mahones" and also the structure in the picture in the article, then at a minimum I would think the title should be changed, assuming the team is using the right name for its stadium. More important, let's assume the stadium in the article is the stadium of the team. Does that in and of itself make the stadium notable and deserving of its own article? Unless there is something special about it (independent coverage as a structure), why shouldn't it be merged (redirected as well) to the team's article?--Bbb23 (talk) 16:43, 25 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article has only one reference and it's not independent. There are no sourced claims of notability. Obviously he's notable if someone can provide an independent source that shows he brought kung fu to America. Jakejr (talk) 06:12, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I have no expertise in martial arts, so I will refrain from making a firm recommendation at this time. That being said, a Google Books search shows what appears to me, at first glance, to be some possibly reliable book sources discussing him as a pioneer in teaching kung fu in the United States. Input by a topic expert would be welcomed. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 06:25, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to San Soo Every source I found him mentioned in was in relation to San Soo. Since there's already a section in that article about him, a redirect seems most reasonable. Astudent0 (talk) 19:06, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Being a Kung Fu instructor is not notable. Claim that he is credited for bringing the art of San Soo to America in not verifiable. Coverage is not independent. Not finding significant coverage in reliable third party sources. Scottdrink (talk) 20:50, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Woo receives significant coverage in "Attack Strategies of San Soo Kung Fu" from Black Belt and "25 Years with San Soo's Jimmy H. Woo" from Inside Kung Fu (available online at [9]).

Was Prodded, removed by the creator.

- Comment I have had to CSD multiple articles multiple times (as in recreations). Each time, the author failed to make an assertion as to why any of the subjects listed in the article are notable. I'm concerned this editor is associated with the subject of the article. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 19:34, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- merge Some of the people at least are unquestionably notable: the rectors. Whether the others are will need to be tested. But our routine practice is we do not make separate lists of notable faculty, but use lists of notable people associated with the university unless the number is very large, and if the number is as small as this, a section within the article is the usual solution. I suggest that the university's effort would be better directed towards making more informative web pages of its own: I was unable to see figures even the size of the university.

- Keep The "token mentions" are being the independent label of the week on a BBC national radio program, with consequent ~15 minutes of coverage. There's nothing wrong with the other source in the article at nomination either, depite the nom's "BBC only". Thirdly, their samplers have been reviewed [10] [11] and they release notable work by notable musicians. Sufficient to keep. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 00:31, 7 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- i took the trouble to deal with this strange smear here. 86.44.47.170 (talk) 21:57, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem being that your claims don't match the links. The links in the article (and yours) don't pass criteria by themselves. Being named "indie label of the week" is the only claim of notability, and generated a single line, one line, of text in the article linked. The "two" references from BBC are actually the same article. Dennis Brown (talk) 22:22, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You should have a clue what you're talking about before a charge like "your claims don't match the links". I'll leave it at that. 86.44.31.213 (talk) 14:46, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I can confirm that what Dennis Brown says is exactly true. There is just one reference to one BBC page, though the reference is repeated so that it looks like two references, and that reference has just a one line mention of Jezus Factory (not even a full sentence).

Per WP:POLITICIAN, unelected candidates are not notable just for being candidates, but must generally either win election to office, or have already been notable enough for other things that they could have had (or already had) an article before they ran for office. That said, he seems to have done enough work in the past that the possibility may exist that he meets another notability guideline (which is why I'm opting for AFD instead of prod), but that work is still referenced to coverage of his nomination, rather than to older references which demonstrate that he was garnering sufficient coverage to confer notability for it at the time it was happening. In fact, the only reference cited here that was published before January 9, 2012 is his faculty profile on the webpage of the institution he works for, which is a primary source and therefore cannot demonstrate notability. I'm more than willing to withdraw the nomination if someone can WP:HEY it up to a keepable standard — and, of course, he can certainly have an article if he wins the by-election — but this is still a delete in its current form. Bearcat (talk) 19:12, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree with Bearcat. Other than the fact that he is a law professor at UofT, he is not notable enough to warrant a page. If (and when) he wins the by-election, we can re-add him, but for now, the page should be relegated to someone's sandbox. Bkissin (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The article is part of a larger body of work on Romanian heraldry with a number of contributors over a long period, for which the vast majority of Coats of Arms have been created with their own pages. Rather than continuing this discussion in isolation, I would recommend withdrawing this deletion request, and instead nominate multiple pages for deletion, including the articles for coats of arms for all Romanian County capitals, as this would likely generate more discussion.
- Perhaps a request should be made of WP:HV to provide quidelines on Notability? A brief review of Coats of Arms of other counties indicates that no other editiors have considered stand-alone articles for heraldry at this sub-state level appropriate.M1rtyn (talk) 02:37, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep - even though I question the legitimacy or validity of the specific award, that is not a criteria for notability under WP:NFILM nor WP:GNG. I have no idea if moodyz is considered a major award in its field but a reliable source has reported on it.[12]. Further, the movie has received coverage in 2 different articles from that same source[13][14] and has had independent review.[15] Morbidthoughts (talk) 23:53, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's certainly not an "independent review"; that's a product page from a DVD retailer.[16] The other "references" are from "All About Inc", an advertising service[17] that seems to resemble examiner.com more than it does a reliable news organization. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 01:28, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Hullabaloo is not quite correct about these sites. AllAbout.com is essentially a competitor to Yahoo in Japan which, like Yahoo, makes much of its money through advertising. Like Yahoo it also publishes genuine news articles as well as its own content (one of its main selling points is hiring "experts" to give "individual" information on products, events, etc.). The two cited by Morbidthoughts are not press releases, but authored by Kemuta Ōtsubo, who is a journalist specializing on AV who writes for some of the major weekly magazines. I don't know much about the Kobooks site, but it should be pointed out that the review can look independent because, if you read the Japanese, it actually criticizes this DVD. Michitaro (talk) 02:34, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Fails WP:N and WP:NFILM. Lacks significant coverage in reliable and independent sources. Edison (talk) 03:39, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - As explained above, I don't think Hullabaloo Wolfowitz's arguments against the citations introduced by Morbidthoughts hold, and so I am inclined to agree with Morbidthoughts' argument that this DVD had significant coverage. It does make sense as well: this was produced by a major AV producer to commemorate their fifth anniversary and was thus publicized more than their average DVD. I think the articles by Ōtsubo are just examples of what coverage there was. One problem with judging the notability of AV is that independent coverage tends to be in the print media, which we can't access. But this seems to be getting more than the usual.

Article about footballer who may possibly pass WP:NSPORTS - if the Greek third level is considered fully-pro, but doesn't appear to have any chance of meeting WP:GNG and this person has only spent one season at a possibly notable level of football. I found a few regional league (fourth level) match reports that mention his name and one reliable source that mentions a match where he competed against his brother in the regional league, but I can't see how that is multiple instances of significant coverage. Let's use common sense because this article will never be more than it is now. Jogurney (talk) 15:59, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Jogurney (talk) 16:14, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - I'm sure a Greek editor could find out information about his career prior to 2007-08 (when he ws 32/33) - there's a full 15 years missing! Perhaps notability can be found there? GiantSnowman 16:26, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps, but I found no mentions of him at RSSSF.com (which has pretty decent coverage of lower-tier Greek football in the early 2000s) and the only mentions he gets at EPAE.org are from his brief stint in the Gamma Ethniki with Aiolikos. If he played in the first or second level of Greek football, surely we could find mentions of him at places like contra.gr or enet.gr when searching his Greek-alphabet name - but I cannot find anything.

- Keep - 30 appearances in a fully-pro league indicates notability. Article should be improved, not deleted. GiantSnowman 13:44, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. There isn't a source included that indicates he made 30 appearances that season. The article's only source lists the team sheet for a single match. Mattythewhite (talk) 13:52, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So it does. What does the asterisk next to his name mean? Captain? GiantSnowman 13:55, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- It does mean captain. If you do this search, you can find a number of match reports showing Dionysatos (if this article is kept, it ought to be moved to Theagenis Dionysatos) playing in the third-level of Greek football during the 95-96, 97-98 and 07-08 seasons. I have no idea how many matches he played in total, but it's probably close to 30 (yet, there is no other source to verify the totals - just a bunch of match reports). I realize the article passes NSPORTS, but I'm not sure what can be done to improve the article except citing a bunch of match reports (which do nothing other that show he appeared in the match). Jogurney (talk) 15:53, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I have asked Kosm1fent (talk · contribs), a Greek editor who does a lot of football edits, to see if he can find any sources. GiantSnowman 15:58, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm afraid I don't have much to add. I can verify that he still plays for Aiolikos, as he was voted for captain on 24 September 2011, and that I've also found lots of Aiolikos match reports. (cannot be used for sources, as they are considered routine coverage – and there were no reports from 1995 to 1998, where did Jogurney find them?). However, I have found a reliable source citing Theagenis' appearances with Aiolikos up to 31 December 2008 (when he moved to Kalloni): [18] – "[...] he made 129 appearances in the Gamma Ethniki (7 with Acharnaikos and the rest with Aiolikos)", so there is no doubt he passes WP:NFOOTY, but there is no source citing his appearances from 2009 to now. Furthermore, Patraikos as his former club is supported only by this highly questionable source, I suggest we remove it. – Kosm1fent 16:56, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you Kosm1fent. Based on your findings, I've attempted to incorporate the sentragoal and onsports references and cleaned up the article (removing the unsourced Egaleo and Patraikos mentions) and I am satisfied that the article could pass the GNG. I would like to withdraw the deletion nomination, but I don't know how. Jogurney (talk) 17:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unclear why he is supposed to be notable, fails WP:BIO. He had some tobacco stores, but the company itself isn't notable[19][20], and there is no other reason of notability. Ond of his sons has an article, but I'll nominate that one for deletion as well as a WP:BIO1E. Searching for his short name Oscar Lindauer or his long name (article title) doesn't give any Google Books or News Archive results, and none of the regular Google results indicate any notability either.

- As I posted on your talk page back in October, "Searching through the history and talk page archives [of WP:ORG] clarifies its intended meaning: coverage by "tiny newspapers" with circulations of one or two thousand is unlikely to demonstrate notability; regional newspapers such as the Morning Call with circulations around 100,000 were never intended to be covered by this."

- Keep, member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association, which is the highest level of competition in the sport, so has a claim to notability. Coverage in the Morning Call is a good start, a newspaper with a significant circulation and a large number of articles focusing on the league. There's also coverage in this rather more obscure newspaper, and a clear indication that there was significant coverage in The Express-Times (actual article sadly not on line). While this isn't a huge range of sources, it meets the primary notability criterion: "A [team]... is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable, and independent of the subject." Warofdreams talk 00:17, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Being a member of the WFTDA is not really indicative of notability, although for a US team not being a member would be more indicative of not being notable. A flat organisation with 130 members is not the "highest" level in the normal sense, it is basically the only level. It is not like in soccer or other organised team sports, where you have a top league of 10 or 20 teams (which is then the highest level of competition in that country), and lots of lower levels. Fram (talk) 09:18, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't want to claim too much for WFTDA membership (clearly, a substantial number of leagues hold full membership), but most - perhaps all - of the full members do have multiple, independent, reliable sources covering them. Membership of the highest level of competition - however broad that is - is a claim to notability (not necessarily one which will always convince, but a claim nonetheless). The members are clearly more likely to attract notice than a Little League team (and attendances for bouts of members, where given, vary from a few hundred to a few thousand, which I suspect is more than for a Little League team). The WFTDA has an Apprentice Program, which is essentially a lower level of membership, and I agree that US leagues with Apprentice membership, or which are not WFTDA members, are much less likely to meet notability standards.

- Keep or Move to Lisa Young (singer) (or similar) per Gyrofrog. She has won or been nominated for national awards as a member of her quartet and of her a cappella group. Both ensembles have released 3 or more albums. Both have performed national and international tours. Such an article would satisfy Wikipedia:MUSICBIO#Criteria for musicians and ensembles at a number of points – only one point is needed.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 12:10, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm fine w/withdrawing in favor of such a move to Lisa Young (singer), as you suggest and as Gyro suggested we consider. On the basis of the fact that -- for whatever reason -- per the above ref supplied by 86, the award in question was tendered to her, and not to her quartet. I can't explain why that is the case, as similar awards were tendered to bands and groups, as can be seen by the diff ... but I'm hesitant to presume that they really meant to give the award to the quartet and not to her personally, when the RS suggests the opposite. At the same time, I'm happy with a redirect of the trio. And -- should, as 86 says -- we see RS support for the verification of the Pinell article (or a similar article), that would be sufficient IMHO for an article on her as well.--Epeefleche (talk) 20:45, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Pinnell [sic] is quoted here and here (only a sentence or so) but this confirms the review's existence independently of Young's site.

The quartet and Lisa Young Trio have been played on ABC Radio National's Daily Planet, here.

DeleteVery low ghits, all of which are business directories and not even a baseline mention in IMDb so looking for their only mentioned film would have been pointless.

Was brought to my attention on WP:COIN, because the user most likely is the subject. Considering the references and the last AfD, and the fact that this looks more like a vio of WP:NOTRESUME, I just don't see how this can stand. Phearson (talk) 06:36, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Just to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, I'm going to try to clean up the article. I've started by removing the reviews and such that are obviously from blogs as well as the references that just went to purchase pages for the books and the references that just went to Wikipedia entries for the colleges Demcak has gone to.

Delete Even allowing for the fact that it's difficult for modern poets to reach the kind of coverage which notable authors of novels achieve, I can't find any evidence that this poet comes close to reaching the notability guidelines for creatives.

My major concern here, as expressed on the article's talk page, is WP:BLP1E—that is, the fact that the subject is notable for only one event. Given that this one event he's notable for is an accused crime, and a fairly serious one at that, I'm personally inclined in favor of deletion. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 06:27, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete If someone thinks that an article about the event surpasses WP:NOTNEWS, they can write that article. But what this person did does not meet the exceptions for WP:BLP1E, and at this point the person hasn't even been convicted of a crime. Qwyrxian (talk) 07:31, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I'll repeat here almost exactly what I had already said on the article talk page: As its stands, this article is not strictly a biography. It is more about two closely related events concerning a member of the US armed forces carrying explosives on civil aircraft. The article possibly passes WP:GNG - but does its human subject? No. Is there a case for deleting per WP:BLP1E, WP:UNDUE, and WP:NOT#NEWSREPORTS and/or WP:RECENT? Yes. Is there a case for an article about military people carrying explosives in civil aircraft? Possibly, but but as Qwyrx says, someone should write it. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 09:38, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. NOTNEWS is obvious here. Note the amount of unencyclopedic detail, some of which was reinstated here (and subsequently reported). This is written like a news story, with a plethora of redundant detail stuck in there to suggest there is an encyclopedic subject here, and the edit summary, "the dealings of the case are of note and have been widely reported," also indicates that we're dealing with a rehashing of the news. To cite but one example: "His lawyer, Jason Leach, also stated that Atwater was willing to comply with the terms of his release." Of course his lawyer said that. Has there ever been a lawyer who would have said the opposite? This has all the hallmarks of a NOTNEWS/1E topic and should be deleted. Drmies (talk) 16:02, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep subject clearly meets the GNG and notability is not temporary. In the worst case scenario BLP1E suggests that if the content is of note a move to something like 2011 C4 incident covering the event is in order. Also there are non PERP issues as the subject of the charges does not deny having committed the act, simply that he did so by accident. This is a rather unique event as well. I don't think this has ever happened before whereas peolple attempt to board with knives and guns quotidianly.LuciferWildCat (talk) 18:50, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Then each individual case of a weapon found at an airport is notable.

Women walk into shopping mall fountains, flight attendants get drunk and swear and quite their job, a judge gets recorded beating his daughter (I could link to all those AfDs that resulted in a delete), but I do not have the time/inclination) ...

- Delete Clear example of WP:BLP1E event itself doesn't warrant an article either per WP:NOTNEWS RadioFan (talk) 18:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment A lot of people are citing not news as well, so it should be noted that it does not conflict with moving to an article based on the event. This should be okay then since this is not breaking news it's simply a recent development and if we make it about the event then it does have enduring notability and avoids BLP issues.LuciferWildCat (talk) 19:08, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:NOTNEWS has absolutely nothing to do with whether its a breaking or historical event. The question is whether the event in question is anything other than mere routine news coverage. I won't speak for others, but I think that this clearly falls into that category: one guy is alleged to have committed one crime. Not a particularly big crime, either, nor one that, even if convicted, will carry a large sentence. No one died, no one was hurt, no one lost any money...this "event" simply does not have the notability required to have its own article. Qwyrxian (talk) 04:07, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Yes it does, when you read it it states "Wikipedia should not offer first-hand news reports on breaking stories. Wikipedia is not a primary source. However, our sister projects Wikisource and Wikinews do exactly that, and are intended to be primary sources. Wikipedia does have many encyclopedia articles on topics of historical significance that are currently in the news, and can be updated with recently verified information." So any opposition to move it to an article about the incidents?LuciferWildCat (talk) 23:00, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This really hasn't unfolded to be a bigger story that could be viewed as historically significant. The attempted carrying of unauthorized objects on to aircraft is pretty run of the mill. Search the web and there are a lot of reliable sources about those kind of stories. However, this story has not developed beyond that, and is likely not encyclopedic. WP:Notability (events) seems like a good place to look for guidance. This event will likely not have a lasting effect. It lacks depth of coverage , five of the cited sources are repeats of the same info from the AP or Reuters (look at the authors of the articles). It lacks duration of coverage (at this point) with most sources coming from the first week of January. Sorry mate the event does not seem to have notability at this point. Cheers.

DeleteMerge into East Carolina University. On a search for this song specifically I failed to find anything outside of ECU websites (unless you count mp3bear.com). Fails WP:MUSIC, but I still think it might be worth preserving in the main article. Jrcla2 (talk) 05:35, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Hi Epee. The basis for my own merge !vote was that I did see the alma mater on an official East Carolina University website, which is in fact a reliable source, but that was the extent of the coverage. Since it's minimally verifiable, I don't want to take an axe to it. I think there might be merits in its inclusion on the main article for the school but not on its own. I hope that answers your question. Jrcla2 (talk) 01:25, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I think I understand. So you are not suggesting that any we merge any text per se that is the article (and unreferenced); but rather that we redirect the name and reflect the alma mater, with what you found serving as a ref? (That would affect whether we have to keep the old history, among other things). Thanks for the clarification. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 01:32, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So really what I'm suggesting is to redirect this article in question to a specific sub-section of East Carolina University for the alma mater, which would need to be made. Jrcla2 (talk) 01:46, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm sure the people at Rutgers have, for starters, but we're not discussing the merits of that article at this AFD. However, WP:IDONTKNOWIT covers your argument:"arguments that state that because a subject is lesser known or even completely unknown outside a given locality does not mean the subject is not notable."--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- And the people at ECU have heard of their own fight song too. What does that have to do with anything? You can't single out one school's non-notable song and claim that another non-notable song somehow gets spared the axe. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:25, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Red herring. We need sources, per WP:GNG, to prove notability. There's no credible claim of notability in the article or by Paul McDonald.--GrapedApe (talk) 12:26, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- On the contrary, you've proven the point. The Bells Must Ring has no claim of notability whatsoever. Notable for nothing. Unless you're claiming it's notable just because it's Rutgers? Big freakin' hypocritical deal. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I don't think anyone has proven any point here, except I think we've successfully covered that it is pointless to argue about the notability of a song primarily about Rutgers at discussion about a song from East Carolina. You are correct that bringing up the Rutgers fight song is a "red herring" as it has seriously taken this discussion off the track of the original intent. I'm not sure why it was brought in to begin with, but I wish we'd keep the focus on the issue at hand.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I would be interested in the basis for the statement: "Normally we find that major college/university songs are notable at least as a stub." And Paul -- since you used that as your rationale, I'm confused as to why you are bringing to task others for what we do with other fight songs. --Epeefleche (talk) 01:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- See Fight song, and all its sub-categories. I don't understand why you're coming after me for bringing up Rutgers--I didn't bring up Rutgers.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I checked what you referred me to. They indicate instances of some articles re some college fight songs. But they do not state, as you did, that keeping them is "normal". And the instances indicated seem far fewer than the number of schools that I expect have fight songs. How do those instances lead to your statement that it is normal to keep such articles? And I never said you brought up Rutgers. I said -- quoted, actually -- you bringing up the notion that we should look to what we do with other major college/university songs. And then brought to task another editor for doing precisely what you had done -- by focusing on another major college/university song.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:38, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- The other editor did not do what I suggested. I looked at a large group, of which some have been through AFD and remarked that normally these AFDs result in keeping the article.

- I checked what you referred me to. They indicate instances of some articles re some college fight songs. But they do not state, as you did, that keeping them is "normal". And the instances indicated seem far fewer than the number of schools that I expect have fight songs. How do those instances lead to your statement that it is normal to keep such articles? And I never said you brought up Rutgers. I said -- quoted, actually -- you bringing up the notion that we should look to what we do with other major college/university songs. And then brought to task another editor for doing precisely what you had done -- by focusing on another major college/university song.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:38, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- See Fight song, and all its sub-categories. I don't understand why you're coming after me for bringing up Rutgers--I didn't bring up Rutgers.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I would be interested in the basis for the statement: "Normally we find that major college/university songs are notable at least as a stub." And Paul -- since you used that as your rationale, I'm confused as to why you are bringing to task others for what we do with other fight songs. --Epeefleche (talk) 01:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, I don't think anyone has proven any point here, except I think we've successfully covered that it is pointless to argue about the notability of a song primarily about Rutgers at discussion about a song from East Carolina. You are correct that bringing up the Rutgers fight song is a "red herring" as it has seriously taken this discussion off the track of the original intent. I'm not sure why it was brought in to begin with, but I wish we'd keep the focus on the issue at hand.--Paul McDonald (talk) 01:19, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- On the contrary, you've proven the point. The Bells Must Ring has no claim of notability whatsoever. Notable for nothing. Unless you're claiming it's notable just because it's Rutgers? Big freakin' hypocritical deal. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:22, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fight songs were often more popularly recognizable both historically (e.g. in the era of big bands) and in their local region, but this article has essentially existed as is since 2006 with little expansion. Not even local Greenville or ECU university sources are used to flesh out the origins of the song.

Delete. The 2010s list was previously nominated for discussion in November 2011 and was kept. List of Hot 100 number-one singles of the 2000s (U.S.) was created afterwards and nominated for AfD and was deleted in December 2011. This nomination is to hopefully get a clear consensus on having both individual year articles and by decade articles that basically provide the same information from the same sources, except over one page vs. 10 pages. The individual lists are consise and provide nice introductions and summaries for each year. The decade lists also provides some statistics which could mean more by being merged into List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones, if appropriate and space allows.

- Comment -
Changed !vote to very weak keep, per this source, which addresses some aspects of the Orr's store, including remnants that remained after the store's closing ORR'S STORE CLEANED IN PREPARATION FOR NEW BUSINESSES. Perhaps other tertiary book sources can be found. Rather than unwise, it can also be considered prudent to preserve content on Wikipedia that is historical in nature. Thanks for providing full articles for the sources I pointed out above. Northamerica1000(talk) 09:40, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]- You are welcome. I agree that it's wise to preserve historical content, so long as sufficient sources exist. It is, however, unwise to assume from Google snippets that articles are significant coverage.
That article is hardly significant coverage. It provides little information about the store itself.- Orr's was a "once thriving business that was a cornerstone in Easton's downtown commercial district".
- An array of items were left in the store.
- You are welcome. I agree that it's wise to preserve historical content, so long as sufficient sources exist. It is, however, unwise to assume from Google snippets that articles are significant coverage.

However, since this store was founded in 1950s, there may be offline coverage. I'll perform some more searches in subscription databases. Goodvac (talk) 19:33, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]- I had the same reaction to that article ("scanty coverage") as you did.

- Keep There is significant coverage in The Morning Call: "Orr's Struggle Worsens with Lost Credit", "Orr's Presence Goes Back To Irish Brothers", "'It Won't Be Downtown' When Orr's Closes Tomorrow", and "A Grand Emporium Owen Rice Opened Mercantile In 1821" (not fully about Orr's). I'm concerned that these are all from one newspaper, The Morning Call, but the depth of coverage and that Orr's dates back to 1868 (offline sources may be more plentiful) prompt me to say keep.

- As best I can tell, most of these articles are about contract disagreements and who will be fighting who. One article is about a fight at the event, but among the spectators not in the ring. I didn't see anything to show this event was notable. The fact that there were some notable fighters does not make the event notable (WP:NOTINHERITED). Otherwise every football game could be considered notable. Papaursa (talk) 17:51, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- One cannot logically compare a football match to a professional fighting show. Footballers play weekly, fighters don't. Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye is an annual event not a weekly television show. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 19:39, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete both The only source for either article is a list of the results. The articles lack significant coverage and fail WP:SPORTSEVENT. Papaursa (talk) 17:10, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep both by default, i.e. no real reason or need exists for deletion. Sources exist discussing this event in which champion caliber fighters participated, i.e. it is notable and verifiable by any reasonable standard. Deleting these articles, which are a record of sports history that provides valuable encyclopedic information for readers, while instead having a discussion about deleting the articles that really provides no useful record of anything, just does not make sense. By the way, any predictions for tonight's PPV? --The Bachmann Editor Overdrive (talk) 18:37, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:ITSUSEFUL is not a reason for keeping. WP is not a repository of sporting results. The reason for deletion is failure of WP:SPORTSEVENT. LibStar (talk) 02:18, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Both articles fail WP:ROUTINE. Internet searches provide only the usual fight cards and results. There is very little coverage of either event therefore they both fail WP:GNG. --TreyGeek (talk) 22:37, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Deltete both Articles fail WP:ROUTINE and WP:SPORTSEVENT. There's no indication of notability, only routine sports coverage. Mdtemp (talk) 15:12, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep both. Articles clearly pass WP:ROUTINE and WP:SPORTSEVENT due to non-routine and exceptional nature of these events (annual events are not routine like weekly seasonal events), which are not really comparable to any random baseball game, for example. The participation of mainstream fighters and the fact that they are covered in association with these event in not just English, but also foreign language sources further demonstrates that these article meet WP:GNG. Finally, "it's useful" is actually a very good reason for keeping these or any articles, as after all, one of the main points for an encyclopedia to exist in the first place is because it is a useful reference tool. Objectively speaking, there is no reason to delete these articles. Just not liking something that is relevant to other readers is not a reason to delete anything. There is no benefit to anyone by getting rid of these, whereas by keeping them, at least those interested in the subject can have a handy reference to this aspect of mixed-martial arts history. Even in a worst case scenario, these would be redirected, but there is no one we need to protect from this information that would justify deleting it altogether. --Temporary for Bonaparte (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge the 2001, 2002, & 2003 articles into a single Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye article. The series of events is notable in the early history of mixed martial arts contests. If these events were held today, they probably wouldn't be notable because of the relative popularity of the sport. But, at a time when there weren't nearly as many opportunities for these athletes to compete, these events were notable (and notability isn't temporary). The series of events would seem to be more notable than any one individual event, therefore, a merge seems appropriate. Osubuckeyeguy (talk) 19:57, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails to meet WP: NSONGS. Song was a failed single, and the article has no claim to notability or references. Prodded it but the prod was contested; no rationale was provided for the contesting. I know the standard for non-notable songs is to redirect them to the album, but such a redirect seems redundant in this case, since the album is also called The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Martin IIIa (talk) 00:48, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Narrowing searches to look for material about the song, rather than the massive amounts about the album, is naturally difficult. But I did find an entire book about the album [42] published by the academic publisher Ashgate Publishing, which contains significant material about the song (for example. pp. 63-65). Given the extensive writing that exists about Genesis, I suspect there is more out there, if one can take the time to look. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:10, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. I've added a couple of references. Granted, most of the coverage out there is within the context of album reviews and other pieces addressing the album as a whole, but there is tons of it. Probably the most popular track on the album, this single Youtube video has over 200,000 plays and Last.fm shows a quarter million listens. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 04:22, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. A redirect the article on the album will just create confusion amongst less experienced users, even if it is deleted, someone will most probably try to create another article. In order to be useful, the whole article needs a complete rewrite which I can assist with. A quick search on google presents plenty of material relating to the actual song - surely this could be modified for inclusion in the album. JTG.Turbo (talk) 19:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I think it's relevant that the son achieved a certain measure of notability in the same field as the father (particularly given baseball scouts' focus on bloodlines when assessing players). Making a conference All-Star team and becoming a first-round pick isn't enough to make the son independently notable, but it's not nothing, either. All Rod Gaspar's article currently says about his son is that he played pro ball. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 14:26, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm the author of the article and I work for Maxim -- just making sure everyone knows that. I posted the article because TINI is an important term. We can delete it and post it after some time but thought it would be useful to be there early. CNN Money and the industry trade journal Electronic Products posted their articles because of the importance of the idea, which allows much smaller handheld devices because very different functions occupy a single component, something that is very hard to achieve and crucial for these applications. The postings by CNN Money and EP were not paid placements. EP wanted for a longer article on the concept and used a brief done by our CEO.
I will clarify highly integrated analog and mixed-signal solutions for the consumer electronics market. It's not nonsense but I can make it clearer.

- First off, Moe, thank you for revealing your conflict of interest; it makes dealing with the situation easier. Having said that, I'm sorry, but at least part of what you're saying is bull. The CNN Money "article" is indeed a paid placement - Maxim may not have paid CNN, but they did pay GlobeNewswire. CNN did not put it on their website because of the "importance of the idea", but because they appear to automatically post every single Globenewswire press release that includes investor information (such as a stock ticker code). If you check the Wikipedia General Notability Guidelines, press releases are not considered "significant coverage" and do not lend to establishing notability. --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:51, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, Nat, I should have pointed out my affiliation earlier, thought it was known. I'll update my profile. I wasn't meaning to hide that.
I note your point about a PR as not constituting evidence of notability.
I clarified the phrase that Smerdis of Tlön found to be nonsense.
Other than that, nothing to add and I'll let the consensus process take its course. It's not a big deal to Maxim to have this article; was just trying to explain the term. - Moe Rubenzahl —Preceding undated comment added 01:31, 12 January 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Pure speculation. Funnyfarmofdoom (talk to me) 00:02, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per number 5 at WP:CRYSTAL, which says "short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate". CityOfSilver 00:05, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I originally added the 'notability' tag. The article is about a possible name for a possible plane that may not be technically or financially possible. And may or may not be developed in secret. Very vague! Sionk (talk) 00:35, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Doesn't meet notabily criteria (no broad coverage - a search finds mostly old rumors) Clovis Sangrail (talk) 01:00, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Objections above that this is a Crystal ball exercise in "product announcement information" is off base — this is a very real classified government weapons project, as attested by the footnote showing in the piece, which is a Gannett Co. news story. The fact that it is in the development stage rather than to the point of actual production and use is neither here nor there so long as there is extant published coverage of the program. That's one piece of published, independent, reliable, substantial sourcing showing as a footnote in the piece. The problem lies in finding anything more than that. I gave it a little spin yesterday and wasn't able to find anything that passed muster. However, I think other reliable stories are fairly likely to exist, given the substantial number of blog stories that I saw.

- Delete - One article in June 2007 and some subsequent blog chatter does not really meet our WP:GNG, does it? EricSerge (talk) 18:51, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete An unverified secret project - fails WP:V and WP:GNG. Peacock (talk) 20:28, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Any individual aircraft type is notable. However, given that this is simply a contract award with the rest being speculation, this is something that should likely be deleted without prejustice to later recreation if and when more information becomes available. - The Bushranger One ping only 22:10, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Far too speculative for an article. All aircraft types are notable, but this is barely a rumour of the possibility of a type. - Ahunt (talk) 22:17, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I actually nominated it a second time as somebody had tagged it as closed - outcome Keep, so ythe second nomination can be ignored.Petebutt (talk) 11:05, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- No, nobody had tagged it - that's just part of the template code for cut-and-pasting onto the talk page if it's kept. - The Bushranger One ping only 00:52, 13 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete For starters, lets look at where the title came from, which is that one web site said that some people are calling the possible future plane plane a SR-72. North8000 (talk) 21:54, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
