- Delete - Not a hoax. I actually did G-streetview for the entire length of this road. It's 1km long of mostly single family homes spread apart. Nothing remarkable at all. The contention above that it "thousands of people live on this road" is dubious. If it is decided that WP is about everything that's verifiable, then perhaps this wouldn't be a problem.

- User:Purplewowies : The whole blog is about Fantastic Shabalanga, and it is worth noting that the internet is not as widespread in Uganda as you might think. We are talking about a man from a small town in Uganda and sometimes a small blog is the only source available. Now I ask any of you, please prove to me that this blogspot blog is NOT about Fantastic Shabalanga.
Also worth nothing that isn't EVERYTHING self publishing? Including your own comments and claims? --Kijoorete-Bahnhof (talk) 00:18, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Even if the blog was a reliable source, and everything sourced to it was true, there is no indication whatsoever that this person meets Wikipedia:Notability (people) guidelines. being a civil servant isn't notable. AndyTheGrump (talk) 00:22, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
NOT TRUE- In the western world, being a civil servant is not notable, however in Africa, being a Civil Servant is incredibly notable. Keep in mind that Uganda is a very poor country, and Civil servants are notable to entire towns. Not to mention that he is a member of the board of directors of the Uganda Railway.
It is not notable to the average Joe the Plumber in America perhaps, but it is notable to Ugandans and Africans, as well as everyone that is interested in African politics. --Kijoorete-Bahnhof (talk) 00:27, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Marcelo Samuel Berman[edit]
- Marcelo Samuel Berman (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD • Stats)
- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Person doesn't look notable; Googling on Google News archives for "Marcelo Samuel Berman" turned up these articles, but they are all from the same publication (Paraná Online), and are thus considered a single source by the general notability guideline. Searching on WorldCat for books on Berman yielded these. Of the thirteen, eleven are authored by Berman himself, while the two listed as having been authored by Paul V. Kreitler appear to be compilations of scientific papers (some of which must have been authored by Berman) which Kreitler merely edited. The sources present in the article fail to establish notability, as well, so Berman doesn't appear to meet the general notability guideline or Wikipedia:Notability (academics).

- The edition war on the article is actually a family dispute between father and son, namely, Marcelo Berman and Albert Berman. It is morally wrong and completely against all standards of Wikipedia to propose a delition motivated by strictly personal or family issues. Deletion proposal made by Albert Berman against the article on his father is preposterous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waren Beat (talk • contribs) 19:07, 10 September 2012 (UTC) — Waren Beat (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
- Keep per WP:PROF#C1. Three articles with over 100 citations each (and an h-index of 13, searching Google scholar for author:ms-berman and counting only the cosmology-related hits) is enough to convince me that he's made a scientific impact. By the way, Waren Beat (talk · contribs), the single-purpose account who left the comment above mine, removed the AfD notice from the article; I restored it, and left a warning on his user talk page, but he did it a second time after that. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:09, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep. Keep the article, for Marcelo Samuel Berman is an important physicist, and the proposal for deletion is purely motivated by a dispute between him and his son.--Waren Beat (talk) 19:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Your statement that the deletion nomination was motivated by a family dispute is, again, a complete falsehood. If you look to the top of the page, you'll see that I was the one who made the nomination, not Albert Berman. Being from Massachusetts, I have no connections with the Bermans and simply didn't believe that Marcelo Samuel Berman met Wikipedia's general notability standards, which you can read here.

This does not appear to be a subject that warrants an encyclopedia article. There doesn't appear to be any significant coverage in reliable sources about the standard YouTube license. GB fan 22:58, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as non-notable (although I wouldn't oppose a redirect to YouTube). Google News archives only have two articles, which focus on YouTube adding a Creative Commons license option rather than giving significant coverage of the standard YouTube license. Yes, there are hundreds of Google Books hits, but in my experience, Google Books is notorious for pulling up false positives (note that the first Google Books result is an 1889 novel by Charles Dickens, which obviously doesn't discuss YouTube in any way, shape, or form, for example). WorldCat is probably a better alternative for searching for books, and it has nothing on this license. I concur with the nominator that significant coverage in reliable sources for this license does not appear to exist. CtP (t • c) 23:23, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge to YouTube. It's currently a stub, and YouTube is an obvious target. I'm sure you'll find coverage of this somewhere (e.g. EFF publications) but it's pointless having a separate page for every website's license. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:40, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. What is there to merge? The bulk of the article, meat of it, is a direct quote from the license agreement. I'm not convinced that quoting the license agreement is appropriate, and even if it is, it can be done directly in the main article without need of keeping a redirect for attribution history. -- Whpq (talk) 21:05, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article fails WP:NOTABILITY. Has a few links but they seem to be press releases and merely trivial coverage or mentions. Nothing more than Self-promotion and product placement, which wikipedia is WP:NOT --Hu12 (talk) 22:34, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Agreed, all of the sources I found with Google News were either small mentions or promotional. Unsuprisingly, I found nothing with Google Books. Considering that the company is British, I searched with Google UK but also found nothing significant for a Wikipedia article. SwisterTwister talk 23:39, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - It's poorly sourced and written like an advertisement. There are quite a few like this on Wikipedia, but this doesn't quite make the bar, in spite of the numerous (repetitive) sources. – MrX 02:28, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The company advertises on prime-time UK TV, I don't believe notability can be an issue when this is the case. They seem to have been recognised and rewarded as an employer, more than a consumer brand, but still appear notable. An argument for editing to neutralise a little. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.216.105.12 (talk) 15:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Advertising through a television network is not notability. Although the company appears to have achieved several awards, an article consisting solely of awards would be considered as promotional. Aside from awards, articles must contain reliable especially third-party sources to establish notability. SwisterTwister talk 19:54, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. I too had problems finding any coverage for this in any independent and reliable sources. There's plenty of links going to places to purchase the film or view it, but no actual coverage of this film. There wasn't really that much coverage in non-reliable sources either. This is ultimately a non-notable film and considering that this was released in 2000 it's unlikely that it will pass notability guidelines any time soon. It is possible that this got some coverage in sources that didn't make it to the internet, but there's barely a whisper out there for this film which like Lenticel said, is a little odd considering that the article claims the film was critically acclaimed.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SL93 (talk) 01:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/potential redirect to Fred Urquhart.There's some notability issues with the scientist's article, but this could best serve as a potential redirect to him. So far this is a very, very newly released IMAX film that has received little coverage in any reliable and independent sources. I've found mentions on sites that wouldn't be considered independent and/or reliable as well as several mentions of showings and a few press releases, but not nearly enough to give this film notability. This is very new so it's possible that it could one day become notable but this just isn't there yet. I have no problem with anyone wanting to userfy a copy of the article to work on.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:01, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep... or Incubate for two weeks. In following up on User:Tokyogirl79's work, I have begun addressing other issues with the nominated article. Firstly, the film is not "by" Dr. Fred Urquhart, as her version stated,[6] as he died ten years ago, but is rather an National Science Foundation funded film that covers Urquhart's 40-year investigation, directed and co-written by Mike Slee with actor Gordon Pinsent in the role of the older Urquhart. Secondly, principle filming completed last March and the film is due to premiere in less than 3 weeks.[7] As new sources are popping up almost hourly, there is no need to give this imminent release the bum's rush.

- Changing vote to neutral/keep/incubate. I don't see a problem with incubating it for a while since more sources are popping up. I'm a little leery about using routine notifications of film showings as trivial sources, though.09:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tokyogirl79 (talk • contribs)
- Your misgivings are understood. The notifications listied at the moment are simply to re-assure those that feel NFF is failed that the thing WILL have its IMAX premires quite soon... not years down the road... and only offered temporarily. The edit summary when these were added to the article specifically explains that Wikipedia notability is by no means dependent on the confirmations that it going to debut soon. I have this one on watch and whether "kept" or "incubated", will address that concern after the thing receives the expected significant coverage, commentary and review. I anticipate that this will nicely meet WP:NF within mere weeks, and we can then have a decent reception section. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 15:46, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a biography whose only source is a link to his martial arts school. I found no independently supported claims of notability. A comment under a youtube video says that he died last month, so this may have been written as a memorial. Papaursa (talk) 21:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - I haven't found any relevant and significant coverage with Google News or Google Books. As I've mentioned at other debates, it is certainly possible that any reliable sources may not be English, considering that the subject is from the Middle East. However, martial artists rarely receive any significant coverage. Also considering that the article claims he was acting for a British film, I searched with Google UK but also found nothing. SwisterTwister talk 23:52, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete The lack of any independent sources is the important thing. If the claims in the article could be supported, then he might be notable. I'm not sure how important those tournaments were or what divisions he won. The claim he entered 98 major events and was 93-6 needs evidence and makes me think the tournaments were small since that's just over 1 fight per tournament.

- Keep Despite the proliferation of paywalls, I did find two references, which I've added to the article, which support notability. The company is reported to be the largest salad and fresh-cut vegetable processor in the world. Further, it was notable in 2011 for its involvement in very large recalls of food due to suspected salmonella contamination. Though the article appears to have been created by a single purpose account, the company is nevertheless notable due to its reported size and widely noted involvement in food recalls. There are additional references out there and the article can use some more work, of course, but I think the subject meets notability standards. Geoff Who, me? 21:46, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: The content of the page is similar to Swadesh list articles, several of which have been discussed at AfD over the past six years. Many of these discussions ended by transwiki-ing the content to Wiktionary, but the most recent discussion ended with no consensus and the page was kept in article space. None of this should necessarily prejudice the handling of this page, but should be considered by discussants and the closing admin.

- The table in this article is not a Swadesh list, which can be found in other sources, and which serves a useful academic purpose. Whereas a standard Swadesh list could expose the areas where Turkic languages significantly diverge in basic vocabulary, this list shows an hand-picked selection of cognates, essentially making the case (WP:NOTSOAPBOX) that the languages are more mutually intelligible than they really are. Shrigley (talk) 05:58, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. As Shrigley says, this is not a Swadesh list as such. There are no sources cited and no explanation of why these words were chosen. It appears to be original research.

- Delete A quite unremarkable group, the sources show only passing mentions, not enough for notability Seasider91 (talk) 19:52, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- They're not passing mentions. The group is a primary focus of the two African news stories, and appears in both the headline and the lead. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:15, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Frankly, I'm shocked. First, AllAfrica is not a newspaper or publisher, it is a reposter of other articles. In this case, there is a headline about G-53 and a blurb, the rest is behind a paywall. The article is originally from ThisDay, but is not longer obtainable through them. The entire article from ThisDay is available through Lexis, but does not support a link to G57 without either another citation showing that G53 became G57 unless one synthesizes information that was not in the article. AllAfrica is noted in WP:RSN as being useful only as a convenience link, not as a reliable source in and of itself. The original publisher, ThisDay, has nothing that indicates its editorial policies and does not appear on the reliable sources noticeboard. As far as I can tell, it is not a reliable source, particularly given the OpEd pieces supporting the Goodluck Jonathan faction.
- The next reference is Vanguard (vanguardngr.com) which also does not indicate its editorial policies, nor does it appear on RSN. It may or may not be reliable.
- Finally, the BBC ref does not refer to either "G53" or "G57" - and the sidebar article speaks of the Nigerian media rumor mill and the unreliability of conventional Nigerian media for fact-checking. The sidebar, Lies, politics and Nigeria's great rumour mill clearly puts doubt on the reliability of the information in the first two refs, in addition to the facts that I pointed out. Perhaps I should have spelled out my entire reasoning in the nom, but in my time on Wikipedia, I have been used to answering questions about where I was coming from and not dealing with one who apparently does not understand the principle of assuming good faith. Hopefully this will change. GregJackP Boomer! 23:31, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- First off, why should we regard a failure to find online indications of "editorial policies" as a reason to disregard sources? When WP:NEWSORG states "News organizations are not required to publish their editorial policy or editorial board online. Many major newspapers do not publish their editorial policies." Second, the absence of a news org on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard -- which is a discussion, not an all inclusive list -- does not mean that it can't be RS, surely. Third, yes, I think you have been too cursory on some of your deletion rationales, and you're going to have to explain things a little better -- at least imo. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:48, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- You have a source of impeccable reliability such as BBC go to the point of publishing an article on the lack of fact-checking and adherence to the truth by conventional Nigerian media, stating:
"The mill in Nigeria is so powerful that it has permeated the conventional media. Many newspapers and magazines publish products of the rumour mill as authentic news." Lies, politics and Nigeria's great rumour mill
- When you have this type of information, from such a legitimate source, if you are to truly interested in due diligence, then you look for editorial policies - to refute the claim that the source is not reliable by another source. The absence of the source from RSN does not mean that it is not a RS - like you stated it is a discussion board. It does mean that you cannot assume that it is a reliable source in the face of evidence to the contrary.
- As to my deletion rationales, thankfully the community does not agree with you. 80% of the time, my AfD noms are deleted. The percentage is higher when you consider merges and redirects. Of this month's CSD noms, 87% were deleted and 13% went to AfD - and those at AfD are currently looking at either deletion or merge. So I don't think that I need to explain anything, least of all to someone that doesn't have the courtesy to ask nicely. GregJackP Boomer! 01:35, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That's an interesting article. But it can't be used as a 'guilty until proven innocent' argument against all Nigerian media, as you seem to want to do. Plus, the BBC piece seems to suggest that a lot of rumour mongering aids Nigerian establishment interests: this is the opposite. Until demonstrated that these Nigerian news sources are not RS, I'll continue to hold that they are, and point out that there is no proof, just suspicion. US media has its share of critics, too. One of the great opportunities here is to get more content from Africa and the rest of the developing world into Wikipedia. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 01:58, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A cursory Google search for "G 57 Nigeria" offers a number of news stories about continued national level advocacy by this group as the primary subject of articles, enough to meet WP:NGO. Over the next couple days I'll write text to include based on found sources to introduce to the article. English language Wikipedia based on its contributions is in a de facto state of being Euro-America centric, but by including articles like this on national groups active in African politics we can broaden the geographic scope of Wikipedia's coverage. It is important to avoid approaching articles on the politics of other nation-states with a colonial mindset. Mr Wave (Talk - Contribs) 03:06, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This nomination was not done by GregJackP in good faith as it is clearly an attempt to win an argument He started when he nominated the article on Reno Omokri for deletion. Seeing his arguments there demolished by objective wikipedians he has extended his vendetta to this article that has existed for 2 years without being disturbed because it was referenced in the article on Mr. Omokri. I urge others to go to the article for deletion discussion on Mr. Omokri to see where this is coming from. There's nothing wrong with this article and GregJackP has to come to terms with the fact that his opinion are not facts. Etauso (talk —Preceding undated comment added 05:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep - article fullfills WP:RS, WP:GNG and WP:NGO (an additional online search will reveal several more reliable sources). The nominating editor is kindly advised to please respect Wikipdia's Content Guideline on News Organizations. Repeatedly discrediting national daily newspapers, calling their websites "not reliable", is a direct violation of WP:NEWSORG. If the nominating editor continues to discredit Nigerian daily newspapers, he will be reported to the Administrators board. Amsaim (talk) 08:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- So report me. If you look directly below WP:RS#NEWSORG you find WP:RS#Questionable sources which states: "Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts...." I've cited a source that shows this for the papers in question. GregJackP Boomer! 11:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - The BBC News article in question is part of BBC's "African Viewpoint", and as the name implies does not represent the viewpoint of BBC News. The source you mention is merely the private opinion of a retired Nigerian freelance journalist. You are using this BBC News article to discredit the entire Nigerian newspaper industry, concluding that Nigerian daily newspapers are not reliable sources in Wikipedia, and all this based upon 1 BBC News article which merely reports the private viewpoint of a retired freelance journalist. Apart from this, the BBC article does not refute the existence of the G 57 Transparency Group. What you should have done is to balance the G-57 Wikipedia article by introducting a separate section into the article addressing the rumours using the BBC article as a reference, instead of sending the article into Afd and discrediting the entire Nigerian daily newspaper industry. Again, I'm kindly asking you to please stop discrediting Nigerian newspapers in Afd discussions. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 12:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - Thank you Amsaim for standing up to GregJackP's overbearing behaviour. I would also suggest that a similar warning be issued on the article on Reno Omokri for which user GregJackP has raised, without just cause, repeated objections and nominated for both deletion and NPOV all in a bid to win an argument that disparages African newspapers and news sources.

Non-notable obscure church wit no credible references รัก-ไทย (talk) 16:24, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep - sending a well-referenced notable article to AfD with this type of nomination rationale, suggests that the nominating editor disregards or is unaware of Wikipedia's Deletion Policy, which stipulates that editors are required to conduct several steps BEFORE nominating an article for deletion. The article contains enough reliable sources, including newspaper articles & notable books. Just a simple Google News search will reveal the huge amount of available reliable sources on the Deeper Life Bible Church. This Afd appears to be a bad faith Afd, as the nomination rationale discredits reliables sources such as BBC News, Vanguard, The Daily Herald, Daily Champion and belittles them as "no credible references". I would therefore like to ask Administrators to close this apparent frivolous bad faith Afd. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 18:34, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article about the University of Minnesota Libraries, an organization of which I am unsure of whether or not it has enough notability to have its own article. Several sources cited, but most are primary (from the University of Minnesota) and of the others only the ones about the Sherlock Holmes collection are more than passing references (or tertiary sources). Not sure what to do with this one -- wondering what the community thinks. BenTels (talk) 15:03, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - It's an integral part of the university and it's a rather large library system. We have a similar one at University of Michigan Library (which covers the whole system, not just one) for comparison. I also much prefer a single conglomerated article on the various libraries, some of which may be too small to warrant their own article, rather than a chaotic mix of articles about specific library buildings. This isn't to say that a small university without a notable library system should have an article (in case someone gets the idea to make a libraries article for every university), but this is one meets the notability test.

Recreation of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. This remains valid.

Keep The event is one of three grand debating events in Karachi. I know, I am the founder, but the event is quite notable; refrences to it are available on websites of the institutions that have had participated, as highlights of their co-curricular activities. I will find and add neutral sources. IMHO this article does qualify to be on Wikipedia, and that's the reason why I wrote it.

- Delete. Existing does not give notability and years of existence almost never gives notability. The only times that it does extend notability to organizations is when something has been around for hundreds to thousands of years. This, of course, would have to be established via multiple independent and reliable sources. The issue here is that there just isn't enough coverage in independent and reliable sources to show that this award is ultimately notable. Most awards aren't and this one is no exception. There's really no coverage in any sources that are both independent and reliable. There's some blog talk, but other than that there's nothing. Just because the awards might be given to notable people or because notable critics might serve on the judging panel does not extend that notability to the awards. It's fairly common for non-notable awards to be given to notable persons, regardless of whether it's likely for the celebrities to attend or not. I did a rather thorough search and this award just isn't notable. It might be one day, but not at this point in time. On a side note, I've seen where the Italian Wikipedia has already deleted this award for notability issues.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:25, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional redirect to Pamu Pamorada (if the other article is kept) orDelete(if the other article is also deleted). Well I am from the same province as her, so maybe I shouldn't be too harsh on her. Nevertheless, there aren't enough reliable sources about her just yet (except Push.com.ph, which is an ABS-CBN affiliated site but is nevertheless considered reliable), so at most this is probably a case of WP:TOOSOON.

I contested the PROD and redirect. If you see the page history, User:Pigsonthewing cites WP:CRYSTAL and lack of reliable sources.
I disagree with this because:
- There are 2 songs out already. It's more than confirmed :P
- The lack of sources is related to the fact that it's only a small page yet.

There are also articles mentioning two pregnancies. Aside from that, there aren't any other significant sources. Google Books produced a book about Paris Hilton with several mentions to Erin Naas but all of them are trivial. Google Books also produced this book with two mentions but they are also trivial.

This article is about a non-notable new music genre which was initially created as spam to promote the supposed founder of the genre but then stripped of nearly all content to avoid getting speedied with G11. Admittedly, the article is no longer unambiguously promotional, which is why I have taken it here, as it does simply not meet Wikipedia's notability standards. Since word-soul was allegedly created in 2011, I performed Google News and Books sources for "Word-Soul" music genre time-restricted from 2011 to the present for my (fruitless) search for any potential reliable sources. The creator of the article has stated that other articles have similar problems and that this creates a double standard, but this isn't the case seeing as though any other articles can simply be nominated for deletion as well if they are, upon closer inspection, found to have similar issues.

- Keep - Full Disclosure: I am a major editor of the article.
I guess the subject of the article suddenly became non-notable when a couple of editors significantly expanded the article a few hours ago. Per the GNG, "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list"
- Sources include the (Minneapolis) Star Tribune, Mother Jones, CNN, MinnesotaIndependent.com, Twin Cities Daily Planet and St. Paul Pioneer Press, not to mention blogs and primary sources. In it's short two month life, the article has been tended to by 15 editors. I have to wonder what the real motivation is for this nomination, given the millions of articles on Wikipedia, and so many of them begging to be AfD'd. I'm sure a quick perusal of the talk page and history will reveal some insights. – MrX 03:55, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- All of the coverage not local to the Twin Cities is generated by the SPLC listing, without which we have an organization of roughly the same prominence as a local PTA.

- Strong keep. A local push group that ended up on the wrong side of history on a case that made it to the national courts, got national news coverage and earned them a spotlight as a designated hate group from the Southern Poverty Law Center. This is the latest front in an effort to suppress that hate group designations from extremist groups who may now be embarrassed that the light of day is shining on their work. There is roughly 12-18 notable anti-gay hate groups and these same battles have been felt on each of them.

Comment I would like to point out that at the moment, the majority of the article is not focused on the PAL.

- Move, per the initial comments of little green rosetta and Roscelese, above. The notability here is the bullying and the suicides, not the small local group of nobody-ever-heard-ofs. Though they certainly need to be mentioned as a contributing factor, the emphasis should be on the events. (The school district itself also has an article, but I think the incidents have achieved enough notability on their own to merit a separate article, with the mention in the district's article reduced to a summary.) Fat&Happy (talk) 00:25, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I had thought that at one point myself but this group has been the subject of numerous articles tied to their activism, and of course the hate group designation. The issue that remains is a clean-up one to describe the policy debate with due weight - which I think we're close on - and allow the reader to decide what to think for themselves. There is also some evidence that this group operated under a different name before coalescing under this title, but I need to confirm a few things before adding that in. Presently I think we have enough on this group to warrant a standalone article. Insomesia (talk) 01:11, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable, all of the references appear to be reviews or small mentions. I should note that the themedicineprogram.com link is simply a mirror of this article. The nearest acceptable link that the article lists is this CardioVax profile. Google News archives found one Telegraph article here, where he is mentioned twice. There is also another single mention here.
This medical news article focuses with his work but it would be insufficient to support this article. The second page of results briefly continues with other small mentions. Google Books provided results of books that are either written or co-written by him. Google Books also provided two mentions here but the quality of the preview is low and is probably insignificant as well. There is another small mention here from what appears to be a list and the following search results continued to be small mentions. However, I found one biography here but, like the medpagetoday link, would probably also be insufficient.

Unsourced fiction article, mostly just plot. Rather trivial book. Us441(talk)(contribs) 15:59, 25 August 2012 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related page because it is closely connected and related:[reply]
- Well, I thought it could be a problem. I thought it was likely that people would want keep. It was mainly my first impression of the article that looked terrible, an unsourced plot-only fiction article.

- Comment. I hate to sound rude, but that's not a good argument for keeping the article. You have to show notability by way of reliable sources that discuss the book. You have to prove notability. You can't just say that it is. (WP:OBVIOUSLYNOTABLE) I'm in the process of trying to rescue the article, but I want to stress that this argument won't keep the article.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 07:38, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect both to Suzanne Weyn. This was a pretty hard decision to make. Despite being named one of the ALA's best picks for 2005, there really isn't a lot of coverage for this book in any reliable sources. The book was nominated for two awards in 2007, but it didn't win either of them and the only places that mention this are primary sources and articles that have copied off of Wikipedia. In other words, there's no mention of this nomination in any reliable sources and merely being nominated for an award doesn't give notability. It might mean that it's more likely to find sources, but that isn't exactly a guarantee that they'll be out there. As far as reviews go, I found two from places that could be considered reliable, although the Teen Ink one sort of pushes it since it's hard to verify which exact reviews from that site are considered reliable. Over time the more I've looked at that site, the less reliable it seems. I tried to see if this book was discussed in schools, but I can't see where it's so universally used/discussed/listed as a school read to where I'd be able to say that it'd qualify under #4 of WP:NBOOK. As far as the second book goes, I couldn't really find any coverage at all. This is just a case of two books that have a fan following but hasn't really made that huge of an impact as far as YA books go. There aren't any reliable sources for these books. The ALA "best pick" isn't really anything to sneeze at, but it's not such an overwhelming award that I could say without a doubt that it'd be considered a major literary award. It feels like there should be more coverage, but there just isn't. I have absolutely no problems with anyone wanting to take a copy of these articles in their userspace and working on them until/if there are more RS that come up to show that these books are notable, but these just aren't notable right now and a redirect to the author's page would be best for right now.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:15, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:CRIN as cricketer has not played to a notable enough level: WP:CRIN states they must have played first-class, List A or Twenty cricket (or their international equivalents Test, ODI, T20I), or have played in the World Cricket League up to division five.

- Nariman Bakhtiar has played first-class cricket in Pakistan playing for National Bank of Pakistan cricket team and Pakistan Customs cricket team. Salimian has not played first-class cricket however he has played cricket in Karachi local teams for over a decade, he is basically the father of Iran's cricket and helped to establish the sport there. Balouchnezhad is a talented cricketer who made 118 runs in an international match versus China, that's a great achievement for a cricketer who is not from a top national cricket team. If Singaporean, Emirati, Malaysian and other criketers have pages in wikipedia then Iranian national team cricketers should as well. If in Football/Soccer players from low ranked national teams have a page in wikipedia then why the same rule shouldn't apply to cricket? User:rooyintan (talk) 10:23, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Nariman Bakhtiar hasn't played any first-class cricket, if he had then both CricketArchive and ESPNcricinfo would hold a profile detailing that. As ESPNcricinfo is down at the momeny, his CricketArchive profile is viewable here. CricketArchive, maintained by the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians is an authority on cricket statistics. If he had played first-class cricket, they'd have made mention in his career statistics. Playing for local club teams doesn't make a player notable, otherwise we'd have hundreds of thousands of people who could lay claim to having an article (myself included!). Also, being talented doesn't warrant an article, simply put the level of cricket Iran play at is too minor to be of note. China themselves are a pretty lousy team (dismissed for 37 in 2009 by ODI playing Afghanistan). Note though, that Singaporean, Emirati and Malaysian cricketers who all have articles having played first-class, List A or Twenty20 cricket for the UAE or Malaysia (though minus T20 for Malaysia) and for Singapore the players have played domestic first-class cricket in Pakistan, India or Sri Lanka. Bear in mind also that football and rugby place less emphasis on statistics and status of matches, hence the guidelines for the inclusion of cricketers reflect that. A good example of this is the 2011 ACC Twenty20 Cup, where the players with articles have all played one of the above levels of cricket (or played in the higher levels of the World Cricket League).

- Delete. Whilst my personal opinion is that all players to have played on official internationals are notable, there is a community agreed guideline for what levels of cricket qualify a player for inclusion on Wikipedia. Whilst that guideline can be overridden in certain special circumstances, this isn't one of them. Andrew nixon (talk) 16:43, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment WP:Pornbio is a subheading of WP:Entertainer, so when does criterea #3 ("Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment") come into play with pornographic film actors? In Hollywood films, Gene Hackman has the record with 73 film credits.[17] I'm not sure who has the record in adult films, but in my opinion, having more than 250 film/video credits seems would seem to be prolific. Kat has 332 credits, and 1.67 nominations that should amount to something. I think there should be some parity between adult film entertainers and other entertainers. - Stillwaterising (talk) 13:21, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:PORNBIO is actually separate from WP:ENT. Performing in X number of porn films was taken out of PORNBIO a long time ago. Porn films are produced in large quantities. 300+ is above average but is nowhere near a record. Porn award nominations are also made in large numbers. Editors tightened up PORNBIO taking that into consideration. • Gene93k (talk) 19:02, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I've seen over 900 credits, and I wouldn't be surprised if somebody did over 1,200. My geeky side would want to do a statistical study of all porn actors, even those who appear in a one or two videos, and figure out what the 90th, 95th, or 98th percentile would be and suggest a number that could be considered prolific. When I first got involved in Wikipedia and considered what to do for creating my first article, it was suggested in the helpfile to write about what you are interested in. At that time I thought porn would be interesting, and I wanted to make a point that porn is a part of our shared culture that should be written about encyclopedically because it's an important part of popular culture. It's apparent to me that pornography isn't often discussed in main stream media (especially by respectable newspapers and cable news networks) because it's not deemed socially acceptable. There's a few exceptions, like when a performer is murdered or is arrested for a serious crime. I can go to most any TV series, say List of Star Trek: The Next Generation cast members and find bios on some performers that may have only had 2 or 3 roles ever (they are rare). However, since I'm a Trekkie, not having tons of red links and "once-existent-now-gone" pages really helps the interested fan get, in depth information on their favorite episode.
- For the person who's really into porn performers (a pornee?) there's other places to go I guess. I still think that porn's popularity will largely be under-reported and kept in the shadows. That's probably not going to change. With the growth of Porn 2.0, the old days of popular "porn stars" who star in feature length films is pretty much over. As far as my interest in pornbios, don't expect me to weigh in these debates much in the future.

The result was merge to Diamonds Are Forever (film). The argument that this term would make a useful redirect seems strong enough to me to prefer merging over deletion.

Failing WP:GNG, WP:JUSTPLOT, WP:V/WP:RS since 2005; I was not allowed to just redirect the article, was told I "should nominate them for deletion" instead. Niemti (talk) 22:04, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. You received bad advice - if the redirect is contested, then a merge discussion should take place. Wikipedia:Plot-only description of fictional works is an essay, and shouldn't be used as a deletion argument - just because the article is lacking references and criticism, it doesn't mean that it should be deleted. In fact, the subject is notable, as Bond girls generally are - a google book search reveals plenty of hits. StAnselm (talk) 02:18, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Just to clarify, my comments were not advice. The editor had redirected the articles after improperly applying merge tags without discussion. I undid those redirects. In response, he made it clear that he felt those were not notable and should not even be merged, just redirected. For his intended desire, it would be better to go through the AFD process and have it closed as redirect than to create a merge discussion that will never be taken part in. I'll form my opinion on keeping/deleting later. Advertising at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Fictional characters would probably get some editors who understand the notability guidelines for characters best. Ryan Vesey 02:29, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not about "a google book search" or your feeling about "Bond girls generally" (a great most of them NOT having Wikipedia articles), this is about the Wikipedia article Plenty O'Toole, which was created in 2005 and in the 7 years since then been edited only to this sorry current state. --Niemti (talk) 02:56, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- What do you mean "it's not about a google book search"? You've appealed to WP:GNG, which says that if a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it can be presumed to be notable. The google book search turns up many such results. Remember, the quality of the article is not a reason for deletion - see WP:RUBBISH and WP:NEGLECT.

The result was merge to Quantum of Solace. Most participants felt that notability was not established via sources/GNG, but that a merge was appropriate. While there was a wider question about the possible deletion of the redirect, and on the face of it there's no consensus either way, the last paragraph of WP:ATD-M guides against such deletions. As such, I'm ruling essentially a "no consensus" with respect said deletion, without prejudice to a specific RfD on the redirect and it's history in view of the licensing implications. j⚛e deckertalk 00:03, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge into Quantum of Solace. Not a noteable enough character. Delete as per Masem (talk · contribs). - SchroCat (^ • @) 19:08, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into Quantum of Solace and delete per Masem. Cliff Smith 19:45, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: another reference has now been added. StAnselm (talk) 20:15, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Non-notable. These minor character pages have gotten out of hand. They belong on a Bond fan website. Not wikipedia. For what it's worth, wikipedia deleted an article about notable spy author Ted Allbeury! - Fanthrillers (talk) 22:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Quantum of Solace, and keep "Agent Strawberry Fields" as a redirect. I agree with Masem that "Strawberry Fields" is the more likely search term, but "Agent Strawberry Fields" is still possible, and it doesn't fall under any of the reasons at WP:R#DELETE. — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 01:39, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge - There are about seventy news articles that mention Agent Strawberry Fields. When Gemma Arterton, who played Bond girl MI6 Agent Strawberry Fields, is mentioned in a news story, they apparently throw a sentence or two in the story about Agent Strawberry Fields. Put all that independent, reliable source information on Agent Strawberry Fields together and I think you could have a nice, tight Wikipedia article on Agent Strawberry Fields. Right now, the article merely is some Wikipedian's thoughts on the topic. Nothing personal, but who cares what you think. Wikipedia doesn't. Per WP:GNG, Wikipedia merely is a reconveyer of what independent, reliable sources say about a topic. Until someone steps forward and writes an Agent Strawberry Fields using material only from independent, reliable sources, we should merge. Since the article doesn't appear to include anything from independent, reliable sources, it shouldn't be to hard for the closing admin to merge the little info in the article worth keeping. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 04:08, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge in the interest of consensus-building. Article lacks the sources and distinct information to support a stand-alone article, as per the WP:GNG. However, it can be covered in a broader context at the main article. Shooterwalker (talk) 23:02, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
