Speedy delete per The Bushranger...William 12:07, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:DENY and because it doesn't meet the WP:GNG. This sockpuppeteer chooses very obscure crashes to write about, presumably in a bid to escape attention from the community; the status of the flight has no relevance and does not confer notability, this event has no widespread significant coverage, only a database entry. IMO a G5 Speedy would have been appropriate, as the edits by others were not significant. YSSYguy (talk) 21:15, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kiss & Tell (1996 film)[edit]

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

Part of a spamming campaign for non-notable and unreleased or flop films by the obscure Jordan Alan. Orange Mike | Talk 23:39, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 03:17, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: What Orange Mike says is true of other Jordan Alan films, which I've marked for deletion in a couple of cases myself. And, yes, Alan is unquestionably creating spam articles and has generally been using Wikipedia for his own promotional ends. This particular film, though, does seem to have been released, was taken seriously by the Los Angeles Times, and does contain a cast of recognized, notable actors. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:50, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- comment - like albums, this film, in order to have a separate article all its own, must have notability all its own. One review in one paper ain't it; neither is Alan's own (marginal) notability, per WP:NOTINHERITED. --Orange Mike | Talk 06:01, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep: I personally warned the author for conflict of interest, but this film is undoubtly notable. It received significant coverage and multiple reviews by reliable, notable and independent sources. Cavarrone (talk) 07:23, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Snow Keep Los Angeles Times, Variety and AllMovie are all reliable sources, and sources of high profile. The RottenTomatoes page shows the film was also reviewed by Emanuel Levy, The Hollywood Reporter (David Hunter) and New Times (Luke Y. Thompson). It sounds clearly notable to me. Cavarrone (talk) 07:57, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable flop film. Orange Mike | Talk 23:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Film-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 03:15, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This movie is notbale as it has reviews from mainstream sources to assert notability. Dwanyewest (talk) 03:33, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: As I'd mentioned at the deletion discussion for Kiss & Tell, Orange Mike has rightly noted Jordan Alan has created spam articles and has generally been using Wikipedia for his own promotional ends. I've marked a couple of his in-development projects for deletion myself. This particular film, though, does seem to have been released, was reviewed by mainstream sources and does star a recognized, notable actor. I don't think it being a flop really enters into it — lots of movies flop. --Tenebrae (talk) 05:02, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Snow Keep per Tenebrae: yes, the director himself has edited an article about one of his films, but the film is indeed notable, and he basically just added the plot and a few technical data to the infobox. The film is indeed notable, and I don't understand why nominating for deletion an article that, at the time of the nomination, already listed four reliable sources in support of its notability (and more are available and easily foundable). Cavarrone (talk) 07:41, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. As already mentioned, a film being a flop doesn't make it not notable, nor does someone with a COI editing an article.--Michig (talk) 08:44, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Obvious keep per Tenebrae. Garion96 (talk) 10:14, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-existent organization. Óðinn (talk) 22:50, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article appears to have been based on and copied from, in part, the article Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 23:34, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This, and the below General Secretary article is a pretty clear hoax, inserted by User talk:Августу. I can find no evidence there has ever been a General Secretary or Central Committee or Politburo of United Russia. It might be speediable as G3 - anyone? Morwen - Talk 23:38, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-existent office. Óðinn (talk) 22:39, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can we consolidate this AFD with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Central Committee of the United Russia? It seems pointless to have both discussions. Anyway, this is a pretty clear hoax, so delete. Morwen - Talk 23:49, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - This article provides no references, which is a huge minus in establishing notability. I did a Google search and found a few short mentions of Mr. Putin being the General Secretary of the political party United Russia. However, I found nothing else. If someone can locate relevant material on this subject, it should be placed into the article and referenced. Otherwise, I cannot see anyone wanting to keep this article.

The result was redirect to June 2011 Peshawar bombing. Meeting WP:GNG is not itself a guarantee that something should have an article; enough clarity in discussion to delete; I'm going to leave behind a redirect to the bombing article Qwyrxian (talk) 08:52, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Shafiullah Khan[edit]

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

Merged this article and Asfandyar Abid Naveed with June 2011 Peshawar bombings. A separate bio on each journalist lacks notability and shifts the focus away from the suicide bombing incident. Crtew (talk) 22:20, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffrey M Marchetti[edit]

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

Contested CSD with the comment "working on the Sopranos is a reasonable claim to significance" Like most of the articles created by Big Paul99 (talk · contribs), this one is of questionable notability and fails WP:NACTOR. The user account is also under investigation for being a suspected sockpuppet of an account that created essentially the same set of minor Sopranos actor stubs, which were mass-deleted at some point. Regardless of the user's identity or intentions, I feel this does not meet basic notability criteria for actors. §FreeRangeFrog 22:15, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Suicide of Amanda Todd[edit]

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

This is a procedural nomination following the request from an IP user on the article's talk page, reproduced verbatim below (including date and timestamped signature). As nominator please do not accept my nomination as agreeing with the motion. I will express my own opinion below.

BEGINS "What's the point of this article? She's not only victim of cyber-bullying nor only girl who killed herself. She wasn't even famous, just regular teenager. So, every teenager who suicided deserves an article here? I have razor on my desk, I can cut my throat for decent article.

I wanted to nominate this article for AFD, but article's semi protected, so can anybody do this for me?

And for all of you, please, consider if Amanda, her suicide, stupidity and weakness deserve an article on Wikipedia, encyclopaedia.

Sincerely, 83.28.130.30 (talk) 18:02, 3 November 2012 (UTC)" ENDS[reply]

Procedurally nominated by Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:05, 3 November 2012 (UTC) on behalf of the IP editor.[reply]

Strong Keep as properly sourced, notable and verifiable article. I'm very much hoping the outcome will be a snowball speedy keep. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:07, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - If anything, rename to 'reaction to the suicide of Amanda Todd' or something. Royal Mate1 22:34, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Enduring in that it resulted in a parliamentary motion and an ongoing federal police investigation, the outcomes of which have yet to be determined. Also, a black mark on Anonymous, showing the hazards of false doxing. It is also notable as the first, large scale incident of its kind in Canada, and likely one of the first to be publicized on a massive, global scale, as evidenced by the fact that it this article got far more page views than Death of Osama bin Laden and double that of Hurricane Sandy. (Todd, Laden, Sandy) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:48, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Very Strong Keep per the simple fact that the first AFD reached no consensus and was closed with the intent that the notability of the article would be re-evaluated in a month or so not a mere 16 days later. ^Alex J _Fox^(Talk)_(Contribs) 22:51, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Very Strong Keep This never should have even been out forward at this time. Nothing had changed since the first nomination and the IPs reasoning for it should have been dismissed for presenting nothing new. Let alone its offensive tone. BashBrannigan (talk) 23:07, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As above, nothing mind-blowing has been presented/occurred since the first nomination — is there a procedural close for this? Almost like a WP:TOOSOON, just for AfDs? —Theo polisme 23:52, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep per Anna Frosediak. FrontBottomFracas (talk) 23:54, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete Per WP:ONEEVENT. It was heavily covered in the news for two weeks or so but that does not justify the creation of an article. The reaction on Twitter and Facebook also does not justify this. Todd is not the first teenager to commit suicide as the result of cyberbullying. The notability hasn't endured for very long, it's not a hot topic anymore. This suicide is not more significant than any other suicide. We shouldn't create an article for every suicide. teammathi (talk) 00:15, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above assertion that the notability hadn't endured is so far simply incorrect. A google search shows newspapers articles referencing the suicide within the last 24 hours. Also Canadian provincial and federal government are currently debating ways of dealing with cyber bullying primarily due to the Todd case. BashBrannigan (talk) 01:35, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep Why are we going through this again... It's a notable event. --Rockstonetalk to me! 04:02, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the closure was reverted after this diff with the authority of the original closer . The full rationale is discussed at length here Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:09, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

With the "authority of the original closer"? Where on earth do you see that? I have no authority over your actions on Wikipedia--the reopening of this AfD was entirely on your own accord, and I have no responsibility —authority — for it. —Theo polisme 22:26, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You stated "You're more than welcome to reopen it. I, however, shall not, for reasons stated above. (see also)" in this diff. I see your words as abundantly clear. Please feel free to ask for administrative views on this. We can use the word 'consent' if you prefer. The sense remains the same. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 22:30, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The arguments in the nomination are weak, largely a lot of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, but to the extent that they include the idea that there is insufficient sourcing, or insufficient enduring interest within reliable sources, I don't think that the page really supports that characterization. In the discussion above, WP:ONEEVENT is also cited, but it does not really apply here because that's a part of WP:BIO, whereas the page is about the event of the suicide, not about the person. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:10, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep While it clear that the nominator simply doesn't like the article, the fact remains that Todd's suicide received significant coverage across multiple news sources, sufficent to pass the notability guidelines of Wikipedia. Canuck^{89 (chat with me)} 01:04, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Very Strong Keep Per above agreeing consensus, the article and the event also is very notable. Mediran ^{talk|contribs} 11:14, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep I think it's a bit too soon to renominate this article for deletion. Wait a bit longer (maybe the full month that the closure of the first AfD recommended) and try again. Legoktm (talk) 13:31, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion per WP:CSD#G4 was contested on the grounds that he has played for Rangers.

Only able to verify the existence of one source. I have a copy if anyone wants to verify (thanks Churn and change):

Ann Scholl Boyer. "Tom Hunter Creates Noggin in a Bubble", Cedar Rapids Gazette, March 25, 1992.

The creator of the wiki article says there are more sources but has not provided citations and searches have come up empty of anything in-depth coverage.

Comparison of computer algebra systems[edit]

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

This article has multiple issues:

It is pure WP:OR: Although there are published papers that compare some computer algebra systems, none is cited and the content of the article is not based of existing sources.
Several of the cited softwares have nothing to do with computer algebra. "Computer algebra" implies the ability of doing some algebra on a computer. This excludes formula editors and software making only numerical floating point computation.
Several of the cited software are experimental software, that have not been published nor cited in scientific publications, and therefore do not satisfy the General notability guideline.
The article does makes any hierarchy between the systems, presenting at the same level widely used systems and confidential software (fringe software). Therefore the article does not satisfy the policy WP:NPOV.

It is not possible to rewrite this article for satisfying WP policies because of the lack of convenient sources. The only possibility that I see is to replace this article by sections in computer algebra systems, presenting the main computer algebra systems (with {{main}} template), explaining why there are important and summarizing their main abilities.. D.Lazard (talk) 17:37, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

keep -- I was surprised to see this article up for deletion, as I found it a useful CAS survey for an academic project two months ago. Regarding the issues raised,

The main content of that article is a set of tables summarizing CAS software package properties and capabilities. If summarizing other sources is original research, then all of Wikipedia is original research. It's true that there are likely no primary sources comparing this particular set of computer algebra systems, but simply listing software properties is not original research.
I have at least passing familiarity with about 60% of the programs mentioned, and all of them I know of have some computer algebra capability associated with them, as seen in the Functionality table. If some entries (please be specific) do not belong, that argues for the removal of those entries, not deletion of the whole article.
It's true that some of CAS entries do not have links to original sources, and may or may not have citations available for them. Again, I cannot tell because specific examples were not mentioned. Links should be added, or perhaps these entries should be removed if they have insufficient citations/notability. But again, this does not argue for removal of the whole article.
Lack of hierarchy is a good property of this article--it indicates a neutral point of view.

No, neutral point of view implies due weight D.Lazard (talk) 11:41, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the correction. I agree, a hierarchy, if justified, is consistent with a neutral point of view.Mark viking (talk) 19:48, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would not be opposed to merging this article with computer algebra systems, but only including a subset that are deemed important is a violation of a neutral point of view. As long as the CAS systems pass a notability threshold, they should be included/retained.
I'll note every Wikipedia page of comparison of software system, e.g., Comparison of numerical analysis software, has the same lack of original article/citations giving comparisons of the exact set of systems in the tables. The article under discussion is no worse in this regard than other pages.

Comment If as the nominator suggests "there are published papers that compare some computer algebra systems" then the topic is probably notable and the remedy would be to (re)write the article in accordance with the reliable sources. Deltahedron (talk) 07:26, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the published comparisons are old (more than 10 years ago) and obsolete. The field is now sufficiently large and active that, apparently, nobody is able to make a general comparison of all the existing systems. Moreover, comparing general systems like Maple and Mathematica with systems specialized in some specific area like, for example GP/Pari (Number theory) and GAP (group theory) makes no sense. Therefore, the recent comparisons consist essentially in what I have sketched for expanding computer algebra system. D.Lazard (talk) 11:31, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

keep -- There is clearly interest in this kind of information as people keep trying to insert it into the individual systems pages. Better to collect it in one place.

rename to List of computer algebra systems. I think the OR problem is if this is though of as a comparison, trying to evaluate the pros and cons of the systems. As a simple list it has encyclopedic value showing the range of specific tasks under taken by CAS systems, the fringe systems are important here as mathematical problems often require dedicated systems, such a calculating Gröbner bases, which are beyond the remit of a general purpose system are are often where the real theoretical developments take place. It also illustrates the history of development starting with Reduce in the 1960's to modern web-based systems like Wolfram Alpha. --Salix (talk): 04:09, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Rename to List of computer algebra systems. I agree with Salix. I think the directions to readers to use the information to "compare" caused writers to believe they need to provide comparison information, leading to OR problems. Articles should merely present information, not give instructions to the reader on what to take away from their reading of the material. Change the name to "List of computer algebra systems," give it a few months to improve, and revisit AfD if still needed. -- Uzma Gamal (talk)
Rename to List of computer algebra systems seems the best answer. The subject is notable enough for a list at least Deltahedron (talk) 12:17, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In what possible way is the encyclopedia improved by deleting articles like this?

A rationale of "Not notable, because other potentially related articles don't exist" is nonsense (and an experienced editor should know better).

As to basic notability, this is a 70 year old aircraft that's still recognisable by its name. Does the nominator really claim that it doesn't meet WP:GNG? Andy Dingley (talk) 16:42, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Comment) I cant see any evidence that the actual aircraft is any more notable than the others in the raid that requires it to have a stand-alone article.

MilborneOne (talk) 17:41, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There are a vast number of articles that are "not required" - pretty much anything that's not on the "vital articles" list. However not having a requirement to do something is a long way from being compelled to, or it even being a good idea to, delete something that does now exist.

Keep: while notability is not inherited, that does not mean that the "child" subject is automatically not notable. Yes, this is one of 16 aircraft involved in the Doolittle raid and the other 15 do not have articles; however, the other 15 didn't have a book written or multiple films made in which they were a central "character" (for lack of a better term).

Comment - Since I originated the article, I wish to provide some background. As it was derived from the host articles on Ted Lawson and the Doolittle Raid, the notability that was seen was that it was the aircraft that featured most closely to the account in Lawson's book, as well as the accompanying film, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. The recently opened Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor on Ford Island, Oahu, Hawaii also features a 1942 exhibit in which the centerpiece is a restored B-25 in the markings of "The Ruptured Duck", the most prominent aircraft used on the Doolittle Raid. The recent cursory google search of the aircraft, "The Ruptured Duck" identifies five separate reference sources that include an account of the aircraft, a link to the B-25 featured in the wartime film, nose artwork and models based on the aircraft.

Is this actually something that the museum has stated? If so, and if it's been reported in a reliable source somewhere, then that would assert notability, and probably satisfy GNG.

Besides being Lawson's aircraft that is prominently described in both his book and the film adaptation, the "The Ruptured Duck" was chosen to commemorate the Doolittle Raid at the Pacific Aviation Museum, and appears as the example for artwork, models (both in scale and in electronic versions). "The Ruptured Duck" also appears as the subject of a stamp issued to commemorate the Doolittle Raid. A macabre connection is that Doolittle Raider David Thatcher is one of the last survivors and in recounting his story aboard aircraft #7, "The Ruptured Duck", he essentially links the story of the aircraft and its role in the raid to his personal recollections. Finally, the choice of the "ruptured duck" symbol for the aircraft nose art was important as it represents a highly esteemed U.S. military award, officially the National Defense Lapel Button issued to personnel honorably discharged from service. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 14:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Weak Delete - Per nom. No reliable sources cited to give indication of notability, merely primary sources, models and pins, which of themselves don't provide notabilty as required by WP:N. The article itself is more about the raid and the crew, which can be, and probably are,covered elsewhere. The article does claim notability for the subject, so if the citing issues are addressed on time, I would support it being kept. - BilCat (talk) 16:25, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The interesting suggestion that the markings/scheme of The Ruptured Duck was specifically chosen at the Pacific Aviation Museum, led to a contact with the curator and staff at the museum. The curator indicated that the aircraft itself was to be a representative aircraft, essentially a display piece that would dramatize the Doolittle Raid. In choosing the colors and markings, the choice was to portray in his words, the most prominent or "best known" of the B-25s in the raid. When asking for a direct quote, the curator indicated that he would respond via email. The very colorful markings were recreated by an actual wartime illustrator who was brought into the museum; the nose art is now further recreated by other artists, again choosing this scheme over all others in the Doolittle Raid. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 19:42, 5 November 2012 (UTC).[reply]

That's original research, and we can't cite that in the article. However, if it were to be published in a reliable source such as a book or newspaper article from a reliable publisher, it would be usable then, Know any authors? ;) - BilCat (talk) 02:57, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - The topic meets WP:GNG, but the article focuses on everything but The Ruptured Duck. For example, "Doolittle chose the relatively new B-25B." - that focuses on Doolittle. A sentence "The Ruptured Duck was chosen by Doolittle" focuses on the main topic, namely, The Ruptured Duck. The section on Preparations for the Doolittle Raid should only focus on how The Ruptured Duck was prepared for the Doolittle Raid. The Origins of the name section focuses too much on Lawson and not on the plane. The Doolittle Raid section should be limited to The Ruptured Duck's role in that raid. The Crew of The Ruptured Duck should focus on the plane as well. Instead of "Ted W. Lawson was the pilot.", it should be "The Ruptured Duck was piloted by Ted W. Lawson." Ted W. Lawson's birth date of 7 March 1917 listed in the article has no relevance to the plane. There appears to be no effort in the development of the article to focus on the plane. This has lead to using source material for its content on everything but The Ruptured Duck. I iVoted weak keep because the topic does meet WP:GNG but deleting the article and starting from scratch to focus on the plane is a viable option. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 10:12, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List of Windows 8 devices[edit]

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

This list is loosely associated by its use of a certain version of a certain operating system; its scope is way too wide to be useful. As just about any company could release a computer or mobile device shipped with Windows 8, this is essentially a directory of just about every new Windows computer released after October 26th, 2012, which is way too general to be encyclopedic. We do not do the same for Windows 7 for the same reason. A category for notable Windows 8 devices would be a better option.

Now, a list of Windows RT devices can be more manageable because of its special scope and the fact that Microsoft is only allowing certain OEMs to actually make devices for it (and having a list of RT devices is more encyclopedicly useful because of the confusion we've seen surrounding it).

Delete - I found one result here where he is congratulated for the award and this announcement supporting the Press Club of Sikkim position. While continuing my search, I found a blog that referred to him as "Parasmani Dungal" and I found another link with "Para Smani Dungal" so it's possible there are several variants of his name (not surprising, considering this is very common with Indian and Middle Eastern names). I would be satisfied if the article listed any of his most known stories or anything else significant pertaining to his career. I attempted to search for evidence supporting his two books but found none. As with all foreigners, it is certainly possible that sources may not be English or Internet-based. Curious to see if the award was notable itself, I searched with Google News and found one result but a main Google search provided several results, mostly blogs, suggesting this award is widely given to journalists, which the journalists probably aren't all notable.

Natural breast enhancement[edit]

As the article states, there is something professed here. This is fringe science along the lines of Extenze and all that, but without the coverage.

Conditional Keep how that the fat has been trimmed, IF it will be renamed to Breast enhancement supplements. It is a huge industry, notable in and of itself, but as others have pointed out, "natural" is misleading and is used solely as a marketing term, making it not encyclopedic in nature.

Keep - Obviously, Natural breast enhancement isn't a good choice for the topic name since there's no proof of actual enhancement and "natural" seems debatable. However, "Breast enhancement supplements" brings forth only a handful of source material, none of which describe what breast enhancement supplements are.[3] It is a better title. The topic does meet WP:GNG and the title breast enhancement supplements will help focus the article development as a good temporary fix. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 01:02, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep After extensive changes and a rename, this is now a reasonable starting point on having a well documented and informative article on the topic. This article is informative as a warning of the potential hazards of this class of dietary supplements, but so far being useful in that way has not been accepted on Wikipedia as a good reason to retain an article. I believe that all useful articles should be kept if there are reliable sources with correctly done inline citations.

Comment - being signed to a notable label, Drakkar Productions seems like a credible claim to significance, enough to pass A7, even if the claim that they are "the most successful and controversial Metal band in the Island of Borneo" seems not to be credible.

A claim of significance does not need to be sourced to pass A7, per the policy: "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source...".

Delete I thoroughly disagree with the idea that a band is notable simply because it happens to be signed to a recognized record label that has a standalone article in Wikipedia.

delete - purely a directory -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, just another channel lineup for an individual cable provider, just like all the others deleted per NOTDIR. The key point is that this is a directory for one company's services, just ephemeral data. postdlf (talk) 04:18, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While the channel number allocation may be considered a little crufty, and a longer term view than simply the current line up would be an improvement, the channel mix is an important part of the business model of television companies. Changes in packages bought and sold between media companies reflect huge valued deals, and are important parts of the businesses that employ tens of thousands in any large country, and have customer bases in the tens of millions. The package is also a culturally important artefact, reflecting the national socio-economic and cultural situation. Channels are well documented in industry journals. To argue that this is a directory, simply because it is a list is to miss the point of what a directory is. Doubly missing the point "Wikipedia is not a directory" does not mean that there cannot be commonality with a directory, just as the fact that we tended to move "dicdefs" to Wiktionary does not prohibit an article from starting with a definition of it's title. Rich Farmbrough, 04:23, 4 November 2012 (UTC).[reply]

the packages and comings and goings of stations could (if reliably sourced, which this is not) provide insight into the business and history. however, which ephemeral channel a particular station is assigned to today, does not provide any such insight and that is solely what a List of X channels article can do. any encyclopedic content would need to be a text based (not list) History of stations carried by X. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 05:09, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Duh! How many more are there left? Also, Rich could not fully grasp why the list does not belong to Wikipedia, even when he types in 1,000 bytes of one commentary. Obviously, these lists direct readers to wherever a network is. Brazillian free channels may be all right. However, the channel lineup is of cable company from Brazil. --George Ho (talk) 04:32, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Unfortunately, I missed the early part of the debate when the precedent and momentum for mass deletion was set. However, I feel the argument for deletion in some cases has been flawed. Whilst I accept consensus can change. My understanding of the original meaning of WP:NOTDIR was that it was to combat a trend in TV/Radio station articles to publish the entire schedule of the station in question. In that case I agree that Wikipedia should not try and replicate that. However, I feel that channel line-ups are not the same thing. In many cases they are sourcable. Furthermore, whilst subscribers have ready access to some (i.e. the EPG position) of this information, non-subscribers don't. A further argument presented is that they are purely "marketing tools" of the platform provider. I don't believe this is necessarily true. On services where you dont actually have to subscribe to receive some (of even many) channels the articles shine a light (in a way that service providers never would) to what a subscriber is actually paying for. This may not be true of the article in question and this may or may not be fixable (cable is probably more closed than a satellite platfrom).Pit-yacker (talk) 11:56, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Cable and sat lineups are too ephemeral to be encyclopedic. Broadcast channel lineups are long-lasting and are suitable, but cable and sat are not. Disclosure: I was notified of this discussion. Gigs (talk) 17:29, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comments
- It seems Gigs makes a valid point (which I mentioned) about the time-dependant nature of these lists - although we can see there have only been a few changes in the years this article has existed. That however is not a reason for deletion, it is a reason for good curation.
- I am wary of the suggestion that "Broadcast" is legitimate, where "cable and satellite" are not.
  - Portions of the UK, for example, were effectively cable-only for decades, and satellite systems were available to all with the equipment with far more ubiquity than terrestrial signals.
  - Moreover the US model has hundreds, if not thousands of "broadcast" television operators, as I understand it.
  - In the UK there are currently effectively only three operators, Virgin Media, Sky, and the terrestrial digital consortium. The terrestrial consortium, and its technology are newer than the other two, while all three have roots going back decades.
  - There also seems to be anti-commecial sentiment "free to air" is ok, "paid for" is not. Again, while Wikipedia is not a marketing tool, we do not suppress information simply because something might benefit a commercial organisation. WP:NOTCENSORED
- Programme guide: This is a chestnut that is repeatedly brought up. Perhaps the confusion is because in the UK we refer to a BBC 1, as a programme, not a channel, traditionally. This is not a programme guide (which is listing of shows and times) by any stretch of the imagination.
- Sourcing. Poor sourcing is never a reason to delete of itself.

Rich Farmbrough, 20:42, 4 November 2012 (UTC).[reply]

That's a rather poor straw man you're setting up; no one is saying we should not have articles on commercial entities, or anything cable/satellite provider-related. We have plenty of articles on individual notable cable networks just as we have articles on individual broadcast stations, cable TV series just as we have articles on broadcast network series, and plenty of articles on notable cable and satellite providers. Broadcast networks in the U.S. (with the exception of PBS or NPR) are also commercial ventures, and subscriber-only cable and satellite providers also carry free-to-air broadcasters (cable companies are actually required to in the U.S.). So the dichotomy you are trying to set up here to explain away the deletion rationales doesn't hold up, and it should be obvious that's not what any of this is about. postdlf (talk) 22:39, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think made any such straw-man argument. I can quote Gigs word for word "Broadcast channel lineups are long-lasting and are suitable, but cable and sat are not." From a position of relative ignorance, delivery technology looks like a poor distinction. Audience size might be more relevant. Rich Farmbrough, 00:09, 5 November 2012 (UTC).[reply]

You're actually continuing the same straw man by describing this as a delivery distinction: it isn't, because no one is disputing that there are notable cable networks or notable cable providers. And there are many possible valid lists of cable networks (by type, by owner, by market). The difference is this list, like all the others deleted, is specific to the service provided by one company. So yes, a list of all broadcast stations licensed and operating in a particular region is long-lasting; a list of all stations carried by an individual cable provider are not. There simply is no comparison there. Look at it from the point of view of the station listed if you want another way to illustrate the relative weight of the information: While one of the first things you'd say about WNBC is that it is a broadcast television station in New York City, would it be as important to point out that HBO is a channel carried by Net S.A.? postdlf (talk) 00:52, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rich you make points which have been explored in numerous AfDs which saw directory type articles deleted en masse. This is not about censorship, it's about WP:USEFUL and WP:OR, as much as it is about WP:NOTDIR. We don't refer to BBC 1 as a programme in the UK, I should know more than most editors here. We know "The BBC" as being channnels 1 and 2, or channels 7 or 8. That's on the remote control we use, it's on the screen we access, it's sometimes in listings magazines. All of these places can't be replicated on Wikipedia - it's not useful to have them on here, when they're easily available at a push of a button. It's not accurate to have them here - they are likely to change first on-screen rather than through editing a page. The US model is very different to the UK, of course it is, but that doesn't mean we can fit policy around anomalies. doktorb _words^deeds 23:06, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not OR in the slightest, these are clearly documented facts. I would agree, as I said, that channel/transponder numbers are less relevant today than historically (but having said that people are interested in UHF/VHF channel numbers "from back in the day") though I would not be surprised to be proved wrong. As for usefulness, if I am looking at a content company like Flextech and wish to understand who buys their content, this is important. Murdoch's media control is spread through these sorts of deals worldwide. It might be OR for us to research this for an article, without secondary sources, but it's certainly not OR for us to report on the programming. Bringing information together in a common format is part of what encyclopaedias do.

As to the use of the word "Programme" you are perhaps a little young to remember the days before Channel 4 which probably marked the watershed in the terminology. Take a look at BBC Light Programme for example. Anyway the distinction between a channel list and a program guide is very clear, yet many delete !votes have stated that these articles are programme guides.

You state that "they are likely to change first on-screen rather than through editing a page" -that's fine. This particular list will never be on my screen, and is hence an improvement as a source over my screen. NOTNEWS means we don't have to be bang up to date, in fact it is crying shame how much content has been lost due to people who think only the current state of events is relevant (particularly in commerce where there used to be a habit of merging articles when companies merged).

I'm not sure which model you think is the anomaly, the UK or US. Regardless this is about a Brazilian carrier, which seems to serve a significant part of that market. Saying that we cannot report on the channels that they provide (or provided) seems counter productive. Rich Farmbrough, 00:09, 5 November 2012 (UTC).[reply]

I agree that OR isn't the problem here at all. postdlf (talk) 00:52, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's another angle that hasn't particularly been discussed here. Broadcast licensees often build their brand identity around their broadcast channel number. This makes their broadcast channel numbers more relevant, as well as more lasting. If you asked me what cable channel I get Comedy Central on, I couldn't tell you. It's a nearly useless piece of technical trivia that I rarely even encounter anymore, now that I have a Tivo. The ephemeral nature of cable and sat lineups also carries more implications than mere maintainability.

Our encyclopedia should converge toward enduring facts. A constantly updated list doesn't do this. If we dated and saved each version it would address this concern, but it would clearly create new problems in that the old lists would be trivia that no one would much care about. To me that's the most telling thing... it's not an enduring subject, it's only useful or interesting in the current form, which tells me that it's not suitable for an encyclopedia. Gigs (talk) 04:07, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. When we delete a substantive article it should be done respectfully and with regret and so I find the tone of some of this discussion rather distasteful. Whether or not there is a breach of WP:NOTDIR seems to be purely a matter of subjective opinion. I can't see that the "deletes" (here and at the other AFDs) are any more policy-based than the "keeps". To my (UK) mind the argument that the list is equivalent to an EPG seems utterly bizarre—the material here is not subject to constant change. Or maybe channels change constantly in Brazil and lineups vary from place to place across the country, I don't know. The article has not had a huge number of edits but this may be lack of maintenance rather than an indication of stability. Sadly, the article has serious shortcomings: no references, context or historicity. If there were a channel list at http://www.netcombo.com.br (I haven't found one) or some other reliable place I'd suggest creating a new section at Net S.A. linking to the external source and redirecting this article there. Otherwise, as an editorial matter, this list could be merged into Net S.A.. Whatever happens, a bald "delete" is not where I think WP:NOT policy or WP:GNG guidance should lead us.

One AfD does not weigh upon the others. They've been deleted, that's the end of it. doktorb _words^deeds 12:40, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it does have a relevance in terms of some sort of general precedent that is being challenged, as the articles which have been deleted earlier could go before a deletion review and become undeleted and restored. That is sort of a foundational principle of Wikipedia, where changes that are made should be reversible if consensus can be achieved to reverse course. That doesn't say anything about the merits of this particular AfD in regards this specific article, but since all of these related articles seem to have the same format, cover roughly the same rationale for existence, and portray similar kinds of information it is reasonable that their fate should be tied together regardless of whatever the outcome of these AfDs and larger RfCs finally decides. It certainly seems inconsistent to have some articles like this existing and others being deleted. --Robert Horning (talk) 13:37, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - Unlike some of the above comments, I don't see this as a "clear cut example" or "textbook example" of anything like WP:NOTDIR, as lists of related subjects is a long standing tradition on Wikipedia. I know there are some who would want to get rid of all lists on Wikipedia, but that is a fight that has been around for nearly a decade and won't go away any time soon. That said, I don't see anything in this particular list that is tying these various television networks together or provides any value over the List of Brazilian Television Channels. Compared to other lists, I really don't see anything of substance being offered with this particular article other than perhaps acting as a guide for somebody who may have this particular cable provider. Other lists can and often do have additional pieces of information associated with them. As perhaps a compromise, if some of these various lists were merged together and had something like that Brazilian Television Stations list which also listed channel numbers for various major cable providers associated with those networks... could that provide some of the same sort of information that is currently being displayed on this page but in a more useful format? I do think some room for compromise is definitely available where this kind of article could at least be removed but the useful information be preserved in some fashion and remain on Wikipedia. --Robert Horning (talk) 14:11, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think that compromise would make the data much more suitable for an encyclopedia. To me a good analogy would be lists of company phone numbers. They are somewhat enduring, but unless they are worth discussion in their own right (like 1-800-FLOWERS for example), once they are out of date they are nothing but trivia that has no lasting historical value. The fact that univision was channel 135 on a certain carrier, and 156 on another as of 12/2012 is not of much or any enduring relevance. The "no enduring relevance" test to me is an excellent test for the spirit behind WP:NOTDIR. We shouldn't focus only on the words that are written there, WP:NOT can never describe all the things that Wikipedia is not. It's meant to describe general classes of items that are unsuitable. Gigs (talk) 14:31, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

there a big difference between phone numbers ( and phone number in american style ie ferw numbers and thena word that you have to convert to numbers doesnt happen in teh uk) and a list of channels with a channel number next to it, why dnt we go down the line of deleting ever tv station article? because that advertise a company and it gives the channel number so it giving the epg.... i think you should go learn whata epg is and what adirectory is, a list of channels with channel number is not a directory but sadly to many here can not see that, i agree with robert this one is mroe deleteable because it poor layout and because there multi cable companeis in america an brazil so list them under one page, but other one sthat have been deleted could easily pasted a afd if policy wasnt getting took out of contextAndrewcrawford (talk - contrib) 15:24, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you read WP:NOTE, but especially WP:NNC (within the notability guidelines), I should point out this guidelines explicitly states: "The criteria applied to article content are not the same as those applied to article creation."

I mention this because is it sort of a false notion that information worthy of deletion as an article topic ought to be applied to content within. Indeed I fail to see why company phone numbers couldn't be included within company articles... to use this analogy. If it is factual and verifiable, it certainly can be included... but that is for another forum to discuss that kind of issue other than to say that your analogy is flawed. There is nothing wrong with the data itself being included... just as links to "official websites" are included in company articles. If the list is already going to exist, and the list itself is justified in and of itself, adding information like what broadcasting channel a network or television station is located on is very much relevant to any such list. I'll use List of television stations in Utah as an example, where I think common channel assignments on major cable providers would very much be in line with the rest of this kind of information. It sounds like any similar kind of list of information is something you would want to have deleted including this particular list of TV stations. I am suggesting there may be another route to go here. I certainly do not understand why this information must be discarded from Wikipedia. --Robert Horning (talk)

The whole point of WP:NOT is to point out that there are things that are factual and verifiable that don't belong here, because this is an encyclopedia. Ephemeral information that ceases to be useful, relevant, or interesting after it is out of date doesn't belong anywhere on Wikipedia. Web addresses are part of a company's identity and branding, and are usually historically relevant even if the organization moves to a new domain. The IP addresses of their servers are usually not. Cable channels are more like the IP address than the domain name. No one is arguing to delete this information on notability grounds or lack thereof, the people arguing delete are arguing that the data is unsuitable for inclusion, period. Gigs (talk) 00:39, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am offering this as a compromise, if you haven't been able to get with the picture here. It is a 3rd alternative to leaving this alone or having an admin press the delete button. As for if this is appropriate on the page itself, that is sort of outside the scope of this AfD and much more appropriate on the talk page, other than I happen to disagree with your sentiment about comparing cable channel assignments. I am not nearly so familiar with Brazilian television station and network in terms of how they advertise their cable channel numbers, but I know a number of "satellite networks" and even terrestrial broadcast stations that make active declarations in their advertising for what cable channel (or even channels as in different assignments on different cable networks) in promotional literature. I think this sentiment simply doesn't fit reality in how the information is actually being used. The IP analogy would be good except that the domain address is the IP address, or very easily translated in a one to one relationship. The cable channel, for notable (aka major representing a significant viewership in the market) cable networks and befitting WP:UNDUE and other standard Wikipedia policies. To include the cable network in a motel, I'd agree that is stupid. --Robert Horning (talk) 14:35, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This probably hinges on whether the Soderstrom Medal is a notable award. Elsewhere, in relation to Piero Sraffa, I can see it specifically mentioned and described as "a precurser to the Nobel Prize in Economics" [15]; if that is the case then it will have been a notable award.

PS -- The Soderstrom in Economics was the highest economics award prior to the endowment of a Nobel Prize in Economics. Keynes won it, among others, and it came from the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences. I don't know the history of the awards here but it's definitely a strong contender. May I suggest to the nominator that if you see someone getting an award from the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences (especially a non-Swede!), you carefully consider it before deciding the person is non-notable. --Lquilter (talk) 13:43, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a NEVENT and NOTNEWS. No indication of lasting notability. The sources are only current news stories and not even analytical works on what the repercussions are.

Keep- The article may not be fully developed with reactions yet, but such coverage exists. "Analytical works on what the repercussions are" and other reactions can be found in sources. Additionally, a "collision involving deaths and injuries" having its own article is quite common. See Okobie road tanker explosion, Yaoundé train explosion, Oswego-Guardian/Texanita collision, 2010 South Kivu road tanker explosion, and Venpet-Venoil collision to name a few.

OSE is not a reason for excusing such discussions. Case=by-caseLihaas (talk) 06:04, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of that, but I was using it as refutation of SwisterTwister's point that "any other collision involving deaths and injuries" does not deserve its own article. In that case, his main argument is actually OSE, so it should be disregarded. Bzweebl (talk • contribs) 15:31, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now - It's always weird to me when somebody nominates something per WP:NEVENT and doesn't bother to read far enough into that policy to hit the entire subsection titled: "Don't rush to delete articles." Also, Bzweebl's argument that this is already receiving a range of coverage is persuasive. Perhaps this discussion could be usefully revisited in a few weeks or a month when it's clearer what long-term coverage this will receive. -- Khazar2 (talk)
Keep - Notable event. Worthy of having an article. Jus da fax 06:08, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Obviously, routine traffic accidents aren't notable, but an accident which 'killed 23 people outright and injured 111' is far from routine. I don't think there's a strict guideline on how many deaths are required to make an accident notable, but if there were I'd say that should certainly qualify.

Keep UNESCO Chairholder, UNESCO Chair for the Promotion of the Culture of Peace and Non-Violence[16]. Not sure which this qualifies him under but could be:
- WP:SCHOLAR #3. The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association
- WP:SCHOLAR #5. The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).
- WP:SCHOLAR #7. The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.

There is also "Editor of the Mathrubhumi a Malayalam-language newspaper that had a daily circulation in excess of 500,000" which is a major position. He also held other significant publishing positions.

There is his Political and Diplomatic work. Per WP:DIPLOMAT.

User:Reaper1906 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:47, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The thing is, you would have to show notability for your game by showing where it's been covered in multiple independent and reliable sources. While this doesn't automatically mean "mainstream coverage", this is usually what it boils down to for a lot of games. Blogs don't count towards notability, nor does being entered in any sort of routine database type scenario. A reliable source would be something along the lines of PC Gamer writing an article about your game, but even then you'd have to have multiple independent and reliable sources about the game. As far as other games having articles, the presence of other games on here doesn't mean that every game should have an article. There are a lot of articles on here that do not pass notability guidelines, so all that an article for another game might mean is that it hasn't been nominated for deletion yet. Of course it could also mean that the game passes notability guidelines, but either way WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't usable as an argument for keeping an article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 02:17, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I did a search and ultimately couldn't find any coverage in any independent and reliable sources. I see where it's available for download, but the stuff I'm finding only shows that this exists, not that it's notable.

Non-notable software. Article written entirely by COI author, who removed the PROD template ~~without explanation~~. No indications of any independent coverage of this software anywhere. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:26, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PS: I had not noted the author's talk page comments, so the PROD was not removed without explanation. Does not change the basic rationale for deletion though. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:31, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

~~Not Delete~~ I am software engineer in industry, in my opinion this documentation is included technical details about AVReporter software. It is very important and useful for engineers how can select appropriate versions. Anyway AVReporter is industrial software that's why It is not well known by casual people, but in industry well-known. You can get more information about AVR in industrial software forums (OPC connections, PLC communications, etc.), for example: http://www.control.com/thread/1280824575#1280905358— Avreport (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete Total lack of significant coverage by even one reliable source to establish notability. Wikipedia is not a repository of technical documentation on any subject; it is an encyclopedia.

Delete, there are no reliable sources referenced to help substantiate the product's Wikipedia:Notability. Not even a list of clients or how it's being used - and let me make this point clear - I do not mean how it can be used, but how it is being used. PK T(alk) 13:16, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Including list of clients would make it promotional, which seems to be the main concern... we would appreciate specific suggestions on how to make the article better. As far as I am concerned Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia. "Word History: The word encyclopedia, which to us usually means a large set of books, descends from a phrase that involved coming to grips with the contents of such books. The Greek phrase is enkuklios paideia, made up of enkuklios, "cyclical, periodic, ordinary," and paideia, "education," and meaning "general education." Copyists of Latin manuscripts took this phrase to be a single Greek word, enkuklopaedia, with the same meaning, and this spurious Greek word became the New Latin word encyclopaedia, coming into English with the sense "general course of instruction," first recorded in 1531. In New Latin the word was chosen as the title of a reference work covering all knowledge. The first such use in English is recorded in 1644."- the description placed on Wikipedia contains only educational explanations for those, who are looking for it. There is nothing promotional in the text, if anybody feels different then should point out where exactly it is promotional. Wikipedia should be a source of information and the guardians should help making this wider and fuller.KONsysInternational (talk) 09:54, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Insufficient claim of notability. No substantial coverage in third party sources. Swayback Maru ^{Mufka's alternate account (talk)} 19:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Hello. I am Miha, and I created that article. I do not understand this term, "third party sources". I think that a screenwriter and manager can be notable, since there are many who have their articles here. I need an advice, because I am not clear what to do now.--Miha (talk) 11:09, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Miha, more info at WP:RS and WP:V. In general, newspapers and magazines are the best sources to use on Wikipedia for topics like this. Even better if available are citations to books and academic journals. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 04:36, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I used several pages about telenovelas and from Internet Movie Database. For information about her marriage and her birth date, I used her Facebook account. She is not mentioned in any free book, but only a queen with the same name. Xuitlaltzin on Facebook

List of sources

(1)Cuatro grandes dinastías mexicanas en los descendientes de los hermanos Fernández de Lima y Barragán by Matilde Cabrera Ypiña de Corsi, page 14. She mentioned that name of Xuitlaltzin is the Aztec one. She was named after one queen.
(2)Marisol en alma-latina.net, the most famous work of Xuitlaltzin
(3)Marisol at IMDb
(4)For her personal life and details of it: Xuitlaltzin on Facebook, See also her Twitter account. and My Life. Xuitlaltzin made all this accounts by herself.

Hi, unfortunately IMDB and Facebook are not considered Reliable Sources, see WP:RS (and WP:SPS). The reason is these sources can be edited by anyone, just like Wikipedia, we have no idea who made those pages, there is no reliability. What is needed is professional publications: newspapers and magazines. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:55, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Except her Facebook and Twitter accounts, I can only find her name on several pages, but it was just copied there. It seems that her personal web pages are not reliable, but her existence and fact that she is a part of crew are proved by this photo. See also opening of Marisol, where Xuitlaltzin is mentioned.

Some of the links you've brought are useful to verify that Vázquez has indeed worked on these productions, but they do little to let us know whether Vázquez is notable. Note that notability has a specific meaning on WP; follow the link for more details, but the short version is that we need to find sources that discuss the subject and/or her work in a significant manner. Coverage doesn't have to be focused on the subject exclusively, but it has to be more than a passing mention — Frankie (talk) 21:42, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
