Chloe's Closet: The Movie[edit]

I can't find any sources to verify that it exists, let alone that it passes WP:NFF: "In the case of animated films, reliable sources must confirm that the film is clearly out of the pre-production process, meaning that the final animation frames are actively being drawn and/or rendered, and final recordings of voice-overs and music have commenced."

The result was keep. The nominatoer does not really make a policy-based argument, and apart from one other editor all propose to keep the article. Sandstein 08:12, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Crecente[edit]

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

This page should be once again deleted for the previous reasons stated. Even after previous deletion, it has been noted by user DreadedWalrus that Mr. Crecente is very active in the editing of the Kotaku article and as such is likely self promoting himself and his interests once again. This page Brian Crecente should fall under non-notable and self promotion. Thank you. ~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.246.6.169 (talk) 22:16, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above nomination was copied from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Crecente where the IP tried to reopen the old nomination instead of creating a new one Monty ₈₄₅ 22:45, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies for the comment to the 1st archived AFD page. Also please note the other user contributions made to the 2nd AFD nomination page, some of those user accounts were created simply for this article and even Mr. Crecentes brother was trying to promote their self interest. Also to make note; with Mr. Crecentes leaving of Kotaku in January, he has become less notable than in previous AFDs 173.246.6.169 (talk) 23:04, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I also believe this article should be blocked in the future from being created; unless by vote. These AFD nominations are becoming redundant. 173.246.6.169 (talk) 23:06, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Sorry. I was beginning to enjoy calling for harsh deletions with a bit of a snarky remark, but I followed the usual methodology of clicking every reference and checking them out. This guy appears in magazine articles, industry profiles, etc. He obviously has established some reputation. In particular if he helped establish Gawker's Kotaku, that is something. The Sound and the Fury (talk) 04:45, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the case Wikipedia should, could, would have hundreds of thousands of articles relating to small time video game journalists and industry experts. This logic can be applied to other names in this industry (and likely many others) and many references could be found. Does this mean we should clutter this place with articles that are based essentially on nobodies? My reasoning is that it's similar to small time actors being stricken off of WP constantly, and I wouldn't call it harsh at all considering this article has been deleted twice in the past. And to Brian and Drew; this isn't Linkedin. 173.246.6.169 (talk) 07:26, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My recommendation to keep was not based on my view of the importance of the individual. I do not think the encyclopedia would be any worse off if this and many other articles like it were purged. But the policy says: A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published^[1] secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,^[2] and independent of the subject.^[3] ; this guy seems to have several independent RS, including interviews and so forth. There's nothing saying someone must have won an award to be notable. The Sound and the Fury (talk) 16:41, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not sufficient that a few sources exist. They must also be non-trivial. What's out there is trivial coverage, which doesn't count. Msnicki (talk) 17:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where and how is trivial defined? The Sound and the Fury (talk) 19:14, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hate to pile on this one comment, but TheSoundAndTheFury is correct, Wikipedia is not a blind collection, but things must be verifiable, not the top X most important people or the X number of articles. If Wikipedia has 30 million or 300 million articles I'd be fine. Biographies should be reliably sourced, neutral and not a collection of dirt. A chief editor of Kotaku is notable, and many other sources post independent articles on him, journalists are not typically as well sourced because they source other things, here we have a journalist who is the subject of journalism. Might as well slap down Nat.Geo's chief editor or Nature's or Nova while we are at it, right? I doubt it would be any different if it was for Newtype or Game Informer. Kotaku is not a blog website, and it pretty notable in gaming, verification and proper sources are all that is required, and even as a bio it meets the minimum. I found more then a dozen 'OK' mentions in other sources, but you know, even full articles on him can seem 'trivial'. The trivial mention is like a sentence in a biography about some tiny class play. A good example is at WP:GNG. Which the subject also meets. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:51, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt. It was properly deleted last TWO times and should not have been recreated. Sources are simply insufficient to establish notability. Basically, all we have to work with is a "top 20 list" that falls far, far short of the kinds of awards (e.g., a Nobel or a Pulitzer) that the guidelines contemplate as acceptable evidence. I've poked through the Google results including the books and scholar results and I just don't see anything I'd call persuasive. Also, though not relevant to the question of notability, I'm not surprised to learn the subject may have had a hand in writing this. This should go and never return. Msnicki (talk) 16:01, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Find no reason under WP:DEL-REASON and the guidelines of WP:AUTHOR not to have this article. Kotaku is notable and is referenced often, he was editor-in-chief of a notable website which is consistently highly ranked. Under #3 of WP:AUTHOR, "The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." Editor-in-chief is a major role. Kotaku falls under the scope of a work and it in often cited and commented about. I don't see this article as shameless self-promotion, while it may not be a great article it still merits inclusion. Msnicki, the lack of great sources in the article is not a reason for deletion, the requirement is verification and as a former chief editor it surely these would be acceptable mentions? [1] [2] [3] E3 coverage aside, he seems to be regarded as an important figure in gaming journalism. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:35, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A chief editor of Kotaku is notable? I'm not convinced that Kotaku is notable. It's just a blog site. Our article on it looks more like corporate spam than anything else; I doubt it would survive AfD. I certainly don't agree that this website is a "significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." Where are the books, movies and all the articles and reviews about Kotaku? They don't exist. Interviews are WP:PRIMARY sources and don't contribute to notability. There's just no basis in the guidelines, especially Wikipedia:Notability (people), for notability. Msnicki (talk) 20:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Read the criteria you cited, ...multiple independent periodical articles or reviews." We have numerous industry sources that report he is notable and the website is notable itself. Who cares if its a blog format? He was chief editor, and is listed in several lists of most important/influential people in the industry. The fact he is in the top anything in a multi-billion dollar industry is important, especially since Kotaku has weight in the industry. Kotaku is notable, if you disagree then put up for AFD and see how it goes, but I assure you Brian Crecente deserves and article on here because he is recognized by the industry as a leading journalist. We can verify and see his work on many different sites and any change in his career is covered in detail. If they write entire articles on him, he is not a 'nobody'. We wouldn't have dozens of articles about a journalist and not just his work if he was non-notable. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:33, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There are multiple claims of notability plus detalied coverage from GamePro magazine which cites Brian Crecente as one of the 20 most influential people in the video game industry. It does not matter here if you WP:LIKEIT or not, this is still a subject to preserve. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:18, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A look at the article shows that this source and this source are each dedicated articles to the topic. 5280 and GamePro are established independent sources. Therefore, the topic passes WP:GNG, without a need to evaluate further sources. Regarding the argument in the nomination that this article is "self promotion", this I can't verify. The article was started in July 2009, and as per the talk page, "This article was created via the article wizard and reviewed by member(s) of WikiProject Articles for creation."

Comment As per WP:Articles for deletion#After nominating: notifying interested projects and editors, "While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion." Unscintillating (talk) 21:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect :There is no case to delete the redirect, redirects are cheap; and no one has argued that there is a cause to delete the edit history, so deletion is not a consideration.

WP:SOLDIER states, "...an individual is presumed to be notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple verifiable independent, reliable sources." I had no trouble finding a reference in a book, and verifying the existing sources, all of which post-date 2001. The argument that this topic fails WP:SOLDIER is not confirmed. Even a source already in the article mentioned that this incident made headlines across the country. The UFO article identifies this incident as a major shift in public opinion regarding the possibility of flying saucers.

My underlying !vote leans to keep, following the guideline in WP:BIO1E (AKA WP:ONESOURCE and WP:1E) that parses the differences between the case to keep and the case to merge. I think the continuing attention given to the person 64 years after the incident by the historian of the Kentucky National Guard and the people of Simpson County, expressed as a roadside sign in Simpson County, means that Mantell is getting attention directly without specifically caring why he was the first death in the Kentucky Air National Guard, or why so much media attention had been given to him in 1948 and in connection to the UFO incident. However, I think that this is close call that would need more analysis, and in theory it shouldn't make a lot of difference to the encyclopedia whether the WP:V reliable material is kept at Thomas Mantell or kept at Mantell UFO incident. I'm also not seeing a need to further develop the biography.

So, I have added the relevant material from this article to the Mantell UFO incident article and support a redirect to Mantell UFO incident. Unscintillating (talk) 21:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Delete - WP:NSONGS tells us to ditch songs that cannot extend beyond a stub. It also tells us that Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been independently released as a recording by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. In this case, the article says the song charted at #1 for 2 weeks, however the lack of significant coverage that can be found to even verify that it really charted far outweighs the NSONGS guideline. --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 00:42, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Sherbet (band) — although I removed the prod — I did find that there is hardly any coverage for the single. WP:SONGS says that song articles that are stubs should be merged to the artist page, though there is hardly any information to merge, so a simple redirect appears appropriate. Keep per expansions.

Keep. Quite astounded that this is even nominated. First #1 single from an iconic band is a snow keep to me.

Delete. Easy call when there are absolutely no reliable independent sources to establish notability. Google turns up a big nothing. Completely fails WP:GNG. Msnicki (talk) 16:09, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I was going to counter this simply because he is a low-profile individual who does not jump into the spotlight in a big way, but I should clarify this. He IS notable for his position and for being an important part of a major internet company, however the ability to verify key information about the individual leaves the article in a precarious place. If there was more information besides these brief mentions, the article would be a different case. As there is not enough coverage I will have to go with delete under concerns of the relevant policies. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is another unverifiable article.This article was created by User:Luckylikke who had previously created such article Jitendra Joshi.See it's AFD for more information.The article's references can't be verified anywhere.Also, The publication house and the writer shown in the references can't be verified.The village mentioned in the article named Vasant-Vihar is also can't be traced over internet.Thus, This article should be deleted t avoid misinformation. Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 19:23, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I found a place called Vasant Vihar in the city of Navsari in Surat District, and its possible that it was once an independent village. However, irrespective of the village's existance or non-existance, Krunal Gandhi is not notable. Barring some unusual degree of publicity, the leaders of villages are not notable. WP:AFDP#Politicians states the following: Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits. Mayors of cities of at least regional prominence have usually survived AFD, although the article should say more than just "Jane Doe is the mayor of Cityville". Mayors of smaller towns, however, are generally deemed not notable just for being mayors, although they may be notable for other reasons in addition to their mayoralty (e.g. having previously held a more notable office).

Delete does not appear to meet our notability standards through WP:GNG, WP:CFBASST, or any other measure I can find.--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:58, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Subject coach is a non-notable former college football player and a non-notable assistant coach. Subject does not satisfy the notability requirements of WP:NCOLLATH—subject is not a member of the CFB Hall of Fame and never received a major national award. He never played a down in a regular season professional game, and is not entitled to a presumption of notability per WP:NGRIDIRON. Subject's notability must stand or fall under the general requirements of WP:GNG. Google media and Google News Archive searches reveal dozens of hits (and many more for an unrelated American sports writer, and other persons of similar name), but none that provide any meaningful coverage by sources that are independent of the subject person, his former teams or former leagues. Such non-independent sources cannot be used to establish notability. While I agree with Paul McDonald's "delete" conclusion immediately above, I note for the record that WP:CFBASST is part of an essay that expresses the opinions of several CFB editors; the essay represents neither official Wikipedia-wide policy nor the policy/majority opinion of WikiProject College football ("WP:CFB").

If the problem with the page is the use of the term "Content Quilting" itself, I propose changing it to "In-page inspection and filtering", or something to the likes of this. Bottom line is that the Content Filtering page is incomplete without a reference to technologies that inspect and filter content within the webpage rather than only at the URL level, and this is what I was attempting to address. Content Quilting, while patent-pending, is a methodology that has been in the web filtering market for nearly 5 years, is an approach that can similarly be seen utilized to varying degrees by other companies such as lightspeed and bloxx, both of which, if I remember correctly also inspect within the page, and is a valid addition to the Content Filtering article. It is from this perspective that the Content Quilting page was opened. While term itself is not sourceable beyond Netspark.com, that simply indicates that the company has not run a PR blitz to generate numerous articles, etc. on the Quilting name itself, however the Content Filtering page is incomplete without a reference to such technologies. {Sminchom (talk) 07:08, 3 June 2012 (UTC)}[reply]

You said "weak keep" but your argument seems to be for "delete". Could you clarify, please? --MelanieN (talk) 14:07, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Program is a proposal to tackle diabetes in future by govt and who knows this program might become notable in coming years with its good research this point may favour in "keep" to this article Dr meetsingh Talk 14:30, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The keep and weak keep !votes are all making arguments based upon potential future notability. But wikipedia does not create articles based upon WP:FUTURE. We would need reliable sources now for an article to be kept. Unfortunately my searches do not turn up any reliable source coverage other than the single article in Times of India [9] which talks about the government planning to invite proposals in the future. This appears to be a case of WP:TOOSOON. P.S. Not that the Chinese space station article has anything to do with this one, but Penyulap, please note that even though that article talks about the future it is well sources in reliable sources - which is a huge difference and justifies an article based upon WP:GNG. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 14:40, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is WP:notenoughindianeditors because of wp:bias. To find the context I went to the department of science website, which is all in English, and followed through the other gov websites, also all in English with a wealth of information. I find that it is staggering that India has the largest number of diabetics in the world, and I'm not sure if wikipedia even covers the subject of what the government is doing about it. One thing I surely know is, if we can't find and make welcome people willing to write on Indian subjects, wikipedia will always remain biased. Diabetes in India, well, if that is not notable subject I don't know what is, where is wikipedias coverage of this ?

Looking carefully at the news article, I see the ministry made an announcement, but who was the spokesperson and where did that happen ? It is not possible that the announcement was made in secret, and the official must have a name, something tells me there more to be found on this subject, if only there were editors willing to look. Meh, what do I care. Penyulap ☏ 10:20, 8 Jun 2012 (UTC)

I agree that diabetes in India may well be a notable topic. Instead of trying to cover the subject backhandedly, via an article about a proposed government program, should there be an article about Diabetes in India? No, I see that other countries do not have such articles. But I just added an India section to Diabetes mellitus#Epidemiology. --MelanieN (talk) 14:03, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is an understated way to refer to the topic I must say. What we are looking at here is a serious systemic problem where deletion discussion is badly designed and carried out. I find that excellent editors are approached poorly rather than successfully which is so easy to do. What should be done here is simply to move it to the empty larger notable topic, A cartoon comes to mind here of a policeman with a gun who looks at the toilet he just used and then fumbles for his firearm, before realising with some embarrassment he should use the flush button. He is so accustomed to using a gun he just doesn't look for proper solutions anymore. This kind of discussion with promising new editors gives me cause to reflect on the failings of wikipedia.

The new section looks good.

It would be nice if there was someone willing to write on this topic, any ideas where we can find such an editor ? anyone ? hmm ? Rather than this typical throw out the baby with the bathwater AfD and BITE combination, it would have been, and still is, a better idea to properly and politely approach the editor and assist in improving the article, and then after you have demonstrated that you are here to assist, suggest improving the profile of the article with a better title and broader coverage, as it is, and as it is project wide, more time, effort and text will be spend on discussing deletion of article and valuable editor rather than pushing the topic over the line.

Snow Keep. I was startled and saddened to see this misplaced nomination. Had I been a Victor Meldrew I should have mouthed a prolonged string of vituperative expletives... but since I'm just an English Wikipedian I have quickly added the start of a Reception section, and will observe that Meldrew is extremely well known and loved in the English media, to the extent that his name is part of our language, even a cliche for leader writers. The references I have provided are the tip of an iceberg; other Wikipedians will easily be able to add many better ones. But Meldrew's notability cannot be in doubt. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:46, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snow keep for egregious failure of WP:BEFORE on the nominator's part. The notability argument is trivial to refute and the others have no weight.
To prove notability, you need two reliable sources: the BBC here, The Telegraph here, and I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to find the Daily Mail coverage as well. As for the other arguments, we don't delete material for unsourced statements, and we don't delete material for lack of sections.

Keep. I refer you to here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(astronomical_objects). It explicitly states:
- "1. The object is, or has been, visible to the naked eye. For ordinary stars, this includes any object with an HR catalogue identifier." Ergo, it meets the notability guidelines and should be kept.Benkenobi18 (talk) 08:04, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment French and Italian wikipedias have the star. It has a Bayer designation, and also appeared in Ptolemy's catalogues. I don't see why if it's on French and Italian wikipedias why it shouldn't have an English article. Benkenobi18 (talk) 08:13, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Each language Wikipedia sets up its own requirements for content inclusion. That French and Italian Wikipedias include this star is irrelevant.

Per the five pillars, Wikipedia is more than just an encyclopaedia. It's also an almanac and, particularly relevant to this discussion, Wikipedia's a gazetteer. Although this content wouldn't strictly speaking belong in an encyclopaedia, it belongs on Wikipedia because of our gazetteer function.
The way this translates into notability terns, I've always understood, is that stars are like geographical locations for the purposes of notability. What this means is that you can use maps as reliable sources (provided the map has a reputation for reliability—so if a location appears on an Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 map, for example, it would automatically be notable). Specifically for astronomical objects, star charts count, and it's usually trivial to find objects from the Bright Star Catalogue on a star chart.
Generally, this bit of the five pillars that defines Wikipedia as a gazetteer and almanac makes it extremely difficult to delete material that's about a real (non-fictional) place, date or time.—S Marshall T/C 15:46, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. I was a little unaware of the guidelines for astronomical objects. --Hahc21 ^{[TALK][CONTRIBS]} 16:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NASTRO does not say that star charts can be used as reliable sources. It says that if an object is listed in a major catalog of interest to amateur astronomers, then it is probably notable. NASTRO was specifically written so that the "geographic location"-argument is not applicable to astronomical objects. Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 20:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This recalls our conversation on Wikipedia talk:Notability (astronomical objects) about six months ago when you wanted to promote your essay to a guideline. There is no reason to prevent star charts being used as reliable sources for notability purposes.—S Marshall T/C 12:32, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as a naked eye object, this star is clearly notable, per the relevant notability guideline. AstroCog (talk) 20:43, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Borderline keep because it satisfied WP:NASTRO. But I don't hold much hope of this article expanding significantly. The statement about it being a "quadruple star system" is suspect. Eggleton and Tokovinin (2008) list it as a binary star; SIMBAD lists it as a double star. Regards, RJH (talk) 21:12, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It apparent notability is reasonably clear from the article as it now stands, but this was one of a swathe of stubs created with really minimal infomation. Since pretty much all the information appears to come from SIMBAD and that information looks machine readable, could future stub creation be done in a way that includes a reasonable amount of information about the object? Two sentences explaining the object in terms a 10-year-old will understand would also go a great way to supporting the educational purposes of wikipedia. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:50, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's an interesting idea. It should be possible, in theory. A potential problem is that not all SIMBAD lookups are successful with the naming convention used on Wikipedia. But perhaps it could be limited to lookups based on the HD number or other standard catalogues. Regards, RJH (talk) 16:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - It should be based on the HR number (Bright Star Catalogue) to keep it to the naked eye stars. But do you want a bot creating 9,500 naked eye star articles? Just as with main-belt asteroids, it is best if a human decides what is a notable naked eye star or at least limit any potential bot to stars brighter than vmag 4. -- Kheider (talk) 17:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    - If they're created right, I see no problem with a bot creating 9,500 naked eye star articles. By right I mean (a) natural language text paragraphs explaining the implications of some of these numbers (this can be templated relatively simply) (b) properly formatted infobox and references (c) all the observation data and numbers formatted as their respective communities expect to see them formatted (I'll defer to the communities on what that might be) and (d) structured so that the information can be harvested by others, i.e. DBpedia. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:38, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment, If there's specific information regarding a particular star that you would like added, request it on the talk page. I'm working on filling the holes right now in an area where English Wikipedia has poor coverage that is actually superceded by some of the other wikipedias. It's much easier to expand a stub, once the stubs are in place. I'm always happy to improve the articles - but I can't read minds. If there's something you'd like to see, request it!

Also, there is a Malpaís (banda) article on Spanish Wikipedia that I had Google translate, and it gave a lot more info on the band. More independent sources need to be added to this article, and I don't think that each album should have its own Wikipedia page.

List of suicide crisis lines[edit]

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

Clearly runs afoul of WP:NOTDIR. Even if the contact information were removed, it still wouldn't make a good stand-alone list, as the vast majority of the entries aren't individually notable. —Psychonaut (talk) 10:03, 26 May 2012 (UTC) Psychonaut (talk) 10:03, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep despite the blatant WP:NOTDIR violation. I couldn't find a Google search term that would put this list on the first page and the information is available in plenty of other places but there's still the possibility that somebody will find it and it will save their life. I don't think that making an exception here would open the floodgates to a mass of other directories. Dricherby (talk) 11:12, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Writing or providing material in hopes of preventing suicide is not within the scope of our project, which is to create an encyclopedia. This runs afoul of WP:PROMOTION, WP:CRYSTALBALL, WP:NPOV, and other policies. This issue was already discussed on (among other places) Talk:Suicide and Talk:Suicide methods. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:24, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I don't see how it runs afoul of any of those policies.

WP:PROMOTION: clearly not an "opinion piece", "scandal-mongering" or "self-promotion". I don't see any "advocacy, propaganda or recruitment" because it's just a list of organizations, or "advertising" because the content is entirely objective and does not offer any opinions, and all the organizations listed are individually notable.

WP:CRYSTALBALL: not relevant because the article makes no predictions about the future.

WP:NPOV: I don't see how this is relevant, because the article does not express any point of view — it's just a list of organizations. Of course, those organizations have a particular point of view but that will be true of any coherent list of organizations.

Indeed, I would be more sympathetic to the argument that deleting this article would violate WP:NPOV as it would leave the encyclopaedia with a lengthy article on ways to commit suicide (suicide methods) and nothing on ways to not commit suicide. (Suicide prevention is an article about how to stop other people committing suicide.) Dricherby (talk) 11:09, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Wikipedia is not a directory and providing a telephone book service is not within the scope of our mission. I appreciate the sentiment made above for an IAR Keep and quickly ran a Google search for SUICIDE+HELP+LINE, which returned plenty of good telephone numbers for someone in need. The odds of them seeking this information by typing "List of suicide crisis lines" in a Wikipedia search seem very, very small. Carrite (talk) 15:31, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I accept that people are unlikely to find List of suicide crisis lines from direct Googling. However, Suicide and Suicide methods are the top two hits on a Google search for "suicide" and I do think there's a case for keeping this list so it can be linked from the top of those two pages. Dricherby (talk) 14:34, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article, whether or not it is deleted, is certainly not going to be linked from the top of Suicide and Suicide methods; as I already mentioned that proposal has been repeatedly raised and defeated on Talk:Suicide. —Psychonaut (talk) 14:40, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ per nom; listing telephone numbers for non-notable entities, no matter how well-intentioned, is textbook WP:NOTDIR. This is not a task we should take upon ourselves, as the encyclopedia that anyone can edit is a poor venue for listing any kind of emergency services with the expectation that people rely upon it and use it. I really don't think this is Wikipedia's place at all, but at most Stuartyeates' suggestion should be followed. Note also that we already have Wikipedia:Responding to threats of harm, to which WP:SUICIDE redirects. A directory of this sort is simply not an encyclopedia article. postdlf (talk) 16:01, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, its current state is still unacceptable, but you've convinced me that its problems are probably fixable. postdlf (talk) 14:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they mostly are notable. I've Wikilinked the ones that have articles; I've not looked for notability in the others yet. Dricherby (talk) 22:27, 30 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many of these links are duplicates, as various regional branches of the same organization are listed. Perhaps the list could be kept if the common list selection criteria were applied (i.e., entries only for those organizations with a dedicated Wikipedia article) and the directory-ish contact information and decorative flags removed. —Psychonaut (talk) 06:27, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question, how do you countenance the fact that there is a List of Ultima characters which is a nice pretty page and all but is a list of fictional characters that do not exist in reality, but that is deemed notable. A list of suicide crisis lines list organizations that exist in reality, and are staffed by real people as opposed to ficticious characters. As far as notability I am sure each one of those listings has been mentioned in various publications. As to whether or not I know the meaning of notability, yeah I do. Not to toot my own horn, but I can use my own definition of Silent stroke, in my words, in an article and use the medical journals that plagiarized it from Wikipedia as references. Unless you can say the same please don't preach to me about 'notability'. To satisfy the OMG a WP:NOTDIR violation, the telephone numbers can be deleted. As far as the flags that's a trivial issue but what policy does that violate? Is there a No little flags policy?

I'm sure for each one of those entries a reference can be found in a 'notable publication'. Don't selectively enforce policy according to your own whims. If a list of real world organizations is not 'notable', then all these lists on Wikipedia of the characters in kiddie games most certainly are not.7mike5000 (talk)

Keep on the basis of the added links that show notability Just as good as any other list of notable things. No need to invoke IAR for saying its useful--just the basic criteria for making a list of things notable enough to have Wikipedia articles. DGG ( talk ) 04:47, 31 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Although I will say there is a strong case for WP:NOTDIR violation, maybe we could work towards merging it with this (or redirecting from there). I figure (as others have said), if things like a list of random Dragon Ball Z characters or a list of all the Digimon characters exist and pass muster--I would certainly keep this, albeit with a bit of work. Each of those individual institutions would easily pass notability checks and good reason exists to have a compiled list, though I would recommend it be semi-protected(at least) off the bat due to the serious consequences of misinformation. DietFoodstamp (talk) 10:38, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Mike told me about this. It's a list of mostly notable agencies, of a class - suicide crisis lines. Of course there should be such a list. If you've got a problem with the phone numbers, have that discussion on the article's talk page. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 11:41, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per WP:IAR if necessary, and improve as needed. Ma^t_chups 19:50, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a list of notable items - no need to invoke WP:IAR. The suicide line with which I'm most familar, the Samaritans, is beyond notable, being known by pretty well the whole population of Britain, and it has been demonstrated that other such lines are also notable. Whether to include the telephone numbers is an editing decision that can be decided by discussion on the article talk page. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:05, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - it certainly appears that most of the entries are notable entities. That makes this a useful navigational aid, aside from the possible help it might give someone needing one of those places. LadyofShalott 01:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - all the entries are notable and sourceable; the list is sensible and not random; our core readership (students) are both most likely to need this list and most likely to attempt suicide; we should IAR once in a while; specific editing issues are not for AfD. Bearian (talk) 18:56, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The facts are this:

There is a list of everything on Wikipedia, many of them are lists of things that exist in the land of make-belive such as a List of Ultima characters, and a List of The Demonata characters which provides such useful information as; "Grubitsch 'Grubbs' Grady was a typical 14 year old teenager until his parents and sister were killed by a demon master, Lord Loss." There are also many articles that are ludicrous to say the least such as Fart lighting. As much as I enjoy lighting my farts fire, I don't think there should be an article on it., and 'articles' like that don't do much for Wikipedia's credibility.
These are real world organizations of varying reknown, I am an American yet I am familiar with the Samaritans organization.
The purpose of an encyclopedia is to learn, and that can be done even from a 'list', e.g., I did not know that there were crisis lines that cater to specific demographic groups with unique issues such as LBGT youth, Native American youth and Aboriginal Canadian youth. Now I do, I learned that from a Wikipedia article.
For an organization that is based on advocacy - providing free knowledge - articles of this nature, even in short list formats with those damned little flags, fits the bill perfectly. It advocates for people - often young ones - in crisis who may die by pointing them to someone who will listen and may be able to offer some measure of relief. It does this merely by providing information. Knowledge is useless if your dead.
While there is know way to verify it, the Wikipedia article on Suicide may be among the last if not the least article a suicidal person reads before they kill themselves. The Suicide article had 123,983 visits in the last 30 days[14]. It's not far fetched to state that a certain number of those visitors are dead, but maybe a few were given pause for thought, that they haven't exhausted all their options yet by information listed their such as their are treatments that actually do work and there is someone to talk to.
While there may be no 'hard evidence' that crisis lines work, there is empirical data which shows that interaction with another human being, even a stranger via telephone, causes actual changes in a persons neurochemistry, even if just short-term. The human brain doesn't mature until about the age of 24-25, and in some people such as myself it never does. Emotional immaturity can lead to a rash decision culminating in suicide. Talking to somebody can help them get over what, may in the future when they are older, be something that is tolerable. Um, I'm done. Oh, wait how about 'fixing it' or improving it, instead of bitching about it. That's how you 'Help Wikipedia' and thereby society, not by feeling self-important by slapping tags on things. 7mike5000 (talk) 21:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The Samaritans also operate local crisis line in the United States, I didn't know that and it could be an alternative to 800-273-TALK. Somebody COULD ADD THAT information.7mike5000 (talk) 21:30, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping the article and fixing it will require removing the phone numbers, which would appear to make it useless for your purposes. If you are trying to prevent suicides, I suggest that moving it to Wikipedia: space will allow the phone numbers to be kept. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:08, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the article's kept, I don't see why we can't WP:IAR and keep the 'phone numbers, too. Dricherby (talk) 23:39, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because IAR only applies when there's not another way to do something and when the something we're doing is clearly supported by the other pillars, and here there are clear alternative that follows the rules and I don't see any attempt to use the pillars supporting this. Stuartyeates (talk) 02:33, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Um, no offense at all Stuartyeates, to each his own, but could you possibly explain to me how the winner of 'Mr. Gay World' Andreas Derleth, an article that you started, is somehow considered 'NOTABLE', whereas this one is NOT? Quite frankly, and again no offense I would say most people on the planet couldn't care less about who started Mr. Gay World.

You've been here long enough to know that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument in a deletion debate.

No, I'm not attempting to support this by the pillars: I'm attempting to support it by basic humanity. Are you honestly saying that adhering to Wikipedia's rules is a higher priority in your life than to giving somebody a chance to save their life? It is perfectly acceptable for a Wikipedia article about a company or organization to link to the subject's website — there's even a space for it in the infobox. Is the phone number really so different from a policy point of view? And is including it in the list really so different from the policy point of view? It's a small stretch of the rules, with negligible physical cost (what, a few tens of bytes per replica?) that doesn't seem to set a precedent for anything else and that has large potential benefits. Dricherby (talk) 08:47, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not in the job of pushing your morals on other people. Suicide is an emotive subject in the Western world, but suicide is not always bad. Lawrence Oates, for example, is primarily notable for his celebrated suicide. Would you pursuade other people in similar sitautions that they should not lay down their lives that their friends might live? Stuartyeates (talk) 09:46, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oates is an exceptional case and at no point have I argued that suicide is always bad. Furthermore, listing crisis line phone numbers does not compel anyone to call them and calling them does not compel anyone to not commit suicide. Anybody who decides not to commit suicide after calling one of those numbers is free to change their mind again at any time. Not listing phone numbers may deprive people of the opportunity to seek guidance (remember: Wikipedia is the top two Google hits for "suicide") and people so deprived don't get to change their mind later: they're gone and their friends and family suffer. Finally, if arguing one opinion is "pushing one's morals" then arguing the contrary opinion must be the same thing. Dricherby (talk) 12:35, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I like your morals, Dricherby. --Anthonyhcole (talk) 13:21, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Listing suicide crisis lines is providing information for people. List of suicide methods does not tell someone to put one of those methods to use. Neither does a list of suicide crisis lines tell that person to call that line. In both cases though, having the article means someone seeking the information can find it. LadyofShalott 02:28, 7 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How is it possible to compare the unique situation and actions of Lawrence Oates, an explorer from the nineteenth century who was stranded in a tent in the Arctic, and who committed an act of self-sacrifice with some some college kid who possibly has an undiagnosed condition causing suicidal ideation who is contemplating hanging themselves in their dorm room? That is incomprehensible to me.7mike5000 (talk) 13:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted the telephone numbers, so a List of suicide crisis lines is not a DIRECTORY. (God forbid). There is no rational basis, to delete this now. The article, a List of Ultima characters uses 'references' that are explanations of the Wikipedia editor, which is tantamount to me making a contribution to a medical article and using as a reference; ref> "Trust me, I know this" </ref. Which is of course a violation of WP:REFERENCES As to the winner of Mr. Gay World, Andreas Derleth, winning an obscure contest does not constitute 'NOTABILITY', ...AND using a Twitter feed as a reference is of course also a violation of WP:REFERENCES. If an individual has difficulty following basic Wikipedia policy how can they possibly be in a position to be nominating articles for deletion? 13:41, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

High school record-setting athlete, well-referenced as such, but we hitherto have not usually been willing to accept success at that level as notability. A previously-deleted article about a person of the same name is about someone else entirely DGG ( talk ) 23:53, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Sportspeople-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 01:20, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As the creator of the article, two years ago, I first must ask WHEN the first deletion of this article was made? But beyond that, as the National High School Record holder for 14 Years, under WP:NSPORT or any other guideline, how can you possibly say this individual is not notable? We have an entire article, yes also of my creation, that has the complete list of High School National Record holders. Certainly all the individuals who achieved said records also are notable, getting coverage well beyond local papers and basic statistics. But speaking of statistics, most frequently, the national record holder's name and mark sits above most meet results duplicated across the country. Brandon Richards was there for 14 years. To cast the doubt of notability against this lone article casts the entire subject into the same doubt. These record holders and their achievements have been tracked for the better part of a century, published in numerous articles. Trackinfo (talk) 02:42, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the article that you have linked for the previous AfD, it is not about the same individual. Read Martial Arts and State of Washington in the discussion. You have completely misdirected this AfD. I urge a speedy conclusion to this folly. Trackinfo (talk) 02:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the mistake was when I put this up for CSD after seeing that an article by the same name was deleted shortly before this article was created and because I thought this individual also failed all notability criteria. Jakejr (talk) 17:27, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete He doesn't come close to meeting the notability criteria at WP:NSPORTS#Athletics/track & field and long-distance running and his only other claim to notability is being the son of an Olympic gold medalist (WP:NOTINHERITED). Being the 10th best pole vaulter in UCLA history or a high school state champion does not meet any notability criteria. Jakejr (talk) 17:27, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You entirely missed the point. He was the National Record holder, both indoors (for about a year) and outdoors (for 14 years). Out of the millions of high school kids who have participated in the sport, he was the best. That is an extremely notable achievement. For some junior level athletes, they may not make it to the Olympics a junior achievement was their peak, but it was a peak that made them exceptional. As a high school athlete, WP:NSPORTS points out, he is notable if he receives coverage "as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage." The article already contains coverage from the LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Track and Field News and Dyestat. The last two are the major national media within the sport. On the general principle of WP:GNG that should have already sufficed. I will now have to lard up the article with further wide coverage. This AfD goes to the point of the statement I make on my own user page. If you do not understand the subject you are talking about, you have no business suggesting articles about that subject be deleted. Trackinfo (talk) 17:49, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Add a full article in People Magazine, mentions in the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, ESPN Rise, Getty Images, the Lubbock paper when the record was broken 14 years later, the Santa Barbara local paper recalling the mark this year, 27 years later. We are now at 20 sources, national publications, coast to coast, north and south. Need I go on further? Trackinfo (talk) 18:25, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Clearly passes the general notability guideline by having achieved "significant coverage", i.e. "sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." --OhioStandard (talk) 11:04, 28 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to say Delete as well. This is a BLP1E - specifically, a biography of a person only known because he's suspected of a crime - which means we should be reluctant about keeping it. And in contrast to Luka Magnotta, to name another suspected criminal recently kept at AFD, I don't think he's received the level of international media attention to clearly pass the notability test. If this article is kept, it should be renamed to Murder of Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie and focused on the crime, not the suspect. Robofish (talk) 11:49, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Commenters don't appear to be very familiar with the subject. There are allegations of multiple crimes. The fact that the suspect was released on bail following a brutal attack with a baseball bat is a major feature of the case and a source of controversy. Like the Virginia Tech shooting there are questions about how this troubled individual was handled by various authorities, family and friends. The case is receiving ample coverage. The aspect of cannibalism also makes it particularly notable. The suspect is already being grouped with other famous cannibals. It's unfortunate that there has been a rush to delete this subject of obvious and enduring psychological, law enforcement, educational institution interest so soon after the article was started.

List of New York Mets no-hitters[edit]

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

A list with one entry? That strikes me as overkill; redundant to List of Major League Baseball no-hitters, for instance. Drmies (talk) 04:52, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Johan Santana's no-hit game or a similar title and leave a redirect Regardless of whether it is overkill or not, it follows the precedent set to have articles or links to other teams' no-hit lists (For example, List of Philadelphia Phillies no-hitters). As such, I would feel more comfortable leaving something at that title until a general ruling is made on all team no-hit lists. But as it has only a single entry, the article should be written to favor Johan's accomplishment, which many sources either likely exist already or likely will within the next 24-48 hours. In 100 years or so, when the Mets have 3-4 no-hitters like most other ballclubs have, we could turn it back into a list p b p 05:13, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If the list would forever stand at one entry, then yes, it'd be overkill. But there is the potential for this list to expand, and since there is a list for each team's no-hitters, setting an arbitrary number of entries necessary for the page to be created seems like overkill. Not creating a page because there aren't any no-hitters makes sense; not creating a page because there aren't ENOUGH no-hitters seems a bit confusing. fuzzy510 (talk) 05:17, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Lists can have only one entry and can add more entries as time goes on. Lists can naturally have at least one entry. This is like a birthday list with only one gift listed.

Comment Shouldn't this discussion be expanded to deleting all no hitter team articles with only one entry? BUC (talk) 16:21, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep All team lists of no-hitters are redundant to List of Major League Baseball no-hitters, so this argument logically requires deleting them all. There is nothing wrong with a list with one entry if we accept the relevance and existence of individual team lists (which seems unquestioned). --Threephi (talk) 23:48, 3 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - per PlanetStar, mostly, but also because within the article there is scope for a secondary list of the multiple near misses, which would avoid the issue of having a list article with only one entry; in that case the main list would be only one entry but there would also be a secondary list with more. Rlendog (talk) 16:17, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It does sound strange to have a list of one, but a club's history of no-hitters receives lots of coverage to meet WP:GNG. In the case of the Mets, the near no-hitter are also large part of the topic. Even the San Diego Padres, who have zero no-hitters, could have an article on their near misses based on the number of times it gets mentioned in the press. Rename the article if needed, but some topic on Mets no-hitters is notable.—Bagumba (talk) 18:02, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Please do initiate Afds on anyone whose credentials are this thin. I realize that there are dozens, even hundreds of bios, where the standards have dropped to nearly zero for an article. Musicians, for example. See WP:BIO. Student7 (talk) 17:31, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep (just for the record) . . . first, as far as notability you kind of have to be somebody in the USA to lead not one but two different major transit agencies for close to a decade each, he was contracted to stay in Pittsburgh for 2 additional years but got a better offer $$$ in the private sector. Not really sure about awards from presidents, not really sure if a Franklin Pierce or a James Buchanan have any more notability then a Skoutelas really. As far as going into the lions den 1,000 plus times on wikipedia and challenging bios in fields I don't understand I'd be happy to form a group for that, I feel that the status quo weeds out almost all frivolous bios, if we want to raise standards I think we are gonna get into an Orlando Lynx v. New York MTA and a Pittsburgh Port Authority v San Fran BART, contributing mainly to Pittsburgh entries I can tell you there is a regional bias among some editors (deletors). Happy to see thats not at work here but try telling someone from San Fran or Manhattan that although Pittsburgh transit chiefs aren't notable that makes the MTA and BART chiefs just as un-notable. Also Allen Biehler (since 2009) and William Millar (since 2006) seemed to be notable to other editors who created those pages on similar standards of notability. Not trying to justify non notability with other non notability, just pointing out that wikipedia does not normally let someone with thin notability have an article for the last six years, Q.E.D. Skoutelas is notable. MarketDiamond 10:54, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Keep. Hundreds of potential sources at GNews and GBooks, including this one from the Orlando Sentinel that makes the notability case quite succinctly, opening as follows: "While in Central Florida, Paul Skoutelas may have been one of the highest profile transit bosses in the country. He arrived in 1991, inheriting a transit agency that few people could name and even fewer rode. So he did TV commercials, spoke at chicken dinners and painted his fleet in pinks and teals and other decidedly un-buslike colors. By the time he left in 1997, Lynx was well known in Central Florida, and ridership levels had doubled. Skoutelas was profiled in the Wall Street Journal, and Lynx was named one of the top transit companies in the country."[15] --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:24, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article contains multiple independent sources about Paul Skoutelas, and I was easily able to find more.[16],[17]. Paul Skoutelas definitely meets Wikipedia's individual notability guidelines. NJ Wine (talk) 04:22, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Plainly, about 90% of these can be discarded without much further discussion. The rest doesn't amount to much — a few disparate mentions in vaguely reliable sources don't constitute the "significant coverage" mandated by WP:GNG. And no, a newspaper or a website conferring an award does not necessarily imply notability — we don't have articles on every restaurant, nightclub or hair salon so honored, and we shouldn't have one on this show, unless demonstrably significant coverage turns up. - Biruitorul ^Talk 15:30, 26 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've gotta get ready for work and don't have time to comb the internets, but I will point out that the so-called "puff piece in a local newspaper reprinted by an activist site" is actually significant coverage from the Austin American-Statesman, the leading mainstream newspaper in Texas's capital city, and that's one reliable source in a defense here. Agreed that most of the links you cite don't pass muster in an AfD debate, which is not to say they are inappropriate to use. The two Austin Chronicle awards also should have a little bit of clout in an examination here. I'm definitely leaning towards the Keep end of the spectrum, just on that.

Keep - Your representation of some of the sources are quite the understatement. Allow me to comment on your depiction of a few sources a bit.

'A Gallup poll': research by The Gallup Organization
'Another poll': research by the American Religious Identification Survey
'Another poll': research by the Pew Research Center
'A puff piece in a local newspaper reprinted by an activist site': article by the Austin American-Statesman (daily circulation 151,000 - Sundays 186,000), reposted by the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science website.
'An article on public-access TV that makes passing mention of the show': Article is written by PBS and the whole 'TV Offers Different Interactivity' section of http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2008/12/public-access-tv-fights-for-relevance-in-the-youtube-age352.html is about TAE.
'A website announcing the show won a reader poll' (2x): won twice, awarded by about.com
'A newspaper award' (2x): won twice, awarded by The Austin Chronicle (230,000 readers)
'A professor's homepage': website of particle physicist Victor J. Stenger

All in all, TAE doesn't nearly belong in the category of 'every restaurant, nightclub or hair salon' as you put it. --Pereant antiburchius (talk) 09:37, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Please see WP:COATRACK. Yes, a Gallup or Pew poll is probably citable; that is not the issue. The problem is that they do not talk about The Atheist Experience, and so are not that relevant, contextually, to the topic at hand.

I agree, these polls are not there to support WP:NOTABILITY, but to support claims about demographics. However, in your opening statement you brought up the case "Plainly, about 90% of these can be discarded without much further discussion", mentioning a few of these sources. Therefore, I had to reply. --Pereant antiburchius (talk) 18:07, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- The Austin American-Statesman piece may or may not bolster a claim of notability, but it's simply a bad idea to link to it as hosted on an activist website. Just like we wouldn't link to a New York Times article hosted by Stormfront at Race and ethnicity in the United States, or wouldn't link to a Wall Street Journal article hosted by the North American Man/Boy Love Association site in the Pederasty article, this too is inappropriate.

Unfortunatelly the article is not available online on it's original printer's website, so I had to go with republished material. I do think you should refrain from equating the Richard Dawkins Foundation with questionable parties like Stormfront and NAMBLA, because it helps neither your argument nor this discussion. --Pereant antiburchius (talk) 19:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I did not "equate" the one with the other, except in trying to show what kinds of sites we should avoid quoting. But fine then, let's bring up something less objectionable and liken it to citing the websites of National Right to Life Committee or NARAL Pro-Choice America at Opposition to the legalization of abortion. The point is, one doesn't generally cite activist sites in articles related to their field. Sources should be objective. And regardless of who's reprinting it, the piece itself is anything but: "Dillahunty may have been destined for this."; "His voice is calm, patient"; "He still wants to save people" are not straight news reporting. - Biruitorul ^Talk 19:42, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- No matter how notable Stenger may be as a physicist and as a critic of religion, WP:SELFPUB comes into play when one cites his homepage. - Biruitorul ^Talk 17:20, 1 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you're going with WP:SELFPUB, I think we're OK, because it was only citing his presence at the show. Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves or their activities, without the requirement in the case of self-published sources that they be published experts in the field, so long as: the material is neither unduly self-serving nor an exceptional claim; it does not involve claims about third parties; it does not involve claims about events not directly related to the source; there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity; the article is not based primarily on such sources. --Pereant antiburchius (talk) 17:36, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The author of this article is using this page as a means to legitimize a "new" field for which there is not yet any reliable, published sources. What the author does here is synthesize a variety of sources in an attempt to produce original research. The academic papers linked from this article all discuss visualization, but none discuss "systems visualization" (with the exception of the Rivet project, which uses the phrasing "computer systems visualization" but in no way engages with the definition described in the article.") Many of the sources are simply listings for a course taught by Shiva Ayyadurai at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A Google search of this professor shows that he has made other controversial claims about inventing technologies such as e-mail, and the only other sites I can locate on "systems visualization" seem to be operated by this professor.

Something you're familiar with is good but try to avoid cases like this, where there's a conflict of interest. I agree that some of Fulcrum's contributors are highly notable but that alone doesn't establish notability of the magazine: WP:NOTINHERITED. I've not found any notability guidelines specific to magazines but, in general, notability means "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Things like reviews of the magazine, discussions of it in the architectural or even general press are needed. Having articles reprinted by other publications is great for Fulcrum but doesn't establish notability of the magazine: it just shows that the reprinted article was of a high quality. If you can find sources that establish notability, then add them to the article but, aside from that, I'd recommend that you step back from editing it any further because of the conflict of interest.

Keep When creating this article a number of months ago, I researched heavily around the subject and also Kevin Ou.

Not to mention the actors & music artists he has photographed, which can be seen here on his portfolio. For those of you who aren't very good at recognising people, the artists include people such as 50 Cent, Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg and Chris Brown. For this reason I believe he easily passes the WP:CREATIVE criteria. He has also appeared on MTV's Starmaker as a guest photographer.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

The significant coverage from the likes of AsiaOne and other news outlets suggests a notability of this subject, however the article is still in much need of work. Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 19:25, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - based on the sources found as noted above, he's clearly notable. Bearian (talk) 18:40, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

^ What constitutes a "published work" is deliberately broad.
^ Sources that are pure derivatives of an original source can be used as references, but do not contribute toward establishing the notability of a subject. "Intellectual independence" requires not only that the content of sources be non-identical, but also that the entirety of content in a published work not be derived from (or based in) another work (partial derivations are acceptable). For example, a speech by a politician about a particular person contributes toward establishing the notability of that person, but multiple reproductions of the transcript of that speech by different news outlets do not. A biography written about a person contributes toward establishing his or her notability, but a summary of that biography lacking an original intellectual contribution does not.
^ Autobiography and self-promotion are not the routes to having an encyclopaedia article. The barometer of notability is whether people independent of the subject itself have actually considered the subject notable enough that they have written and published non-trivial works that focus upon it. Thus, entries in biographical dictionaries that accept self-nominations (such as the Marquis Who's Who) do not prove notability.
