General Weighted Average[edit]

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

The concept of weighted averages is in use across a variety of disciplines. This article relates to a specific discipline in a specific country. It might be more useful if the incoming links are redirected to the general page Weighted mean Peaky76 (talk) 22:46, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Weighted mean, of which it is a derivative of. It's a possible search term, but it's a concept that's only specific to a single country, so an article for it isn't necessary. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:03, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, not to a country, but most probably specific only to the University of the Philippines system. It's certainly not used in UST. Either redirect to University of the Philippines, or to weighted mean; leaning to the former, as I don't see any evidence that the exact phrase "General Weighted Average" is a predominantly used term to denote "weighted mean". –H T D 13:37, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By the way HTD, since I'm going to study in UP starting this June, I need something to be clarified: isn't it the UPG, not the GWA? Or is the UPG only for entrance exams? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 20:49, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UPG means "University Predicted Grade". –H T D 03:33, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Academic grading in the Philippines. I'm not opposed to the other suggestions here, I just think this is the better article to redirect to. Delete is not an unreasonable outcome either. If I came across the phrase "general weighted average" I would assume it is the same as "weighted mean", but the phrase doesn't seem to be commonly used except in the Philippines education system. Dingo1729 (talk) 17:10, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Abelow[edit]

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

Only real source of notability appears to be that he is the patent holder for a company that is famous for patent trolling. Delete in my books. Sasquatch t|c 22:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please, don't delete as he deserves to be on Wikipedia. He has been cited in forbs and his inventions have been licensed more than 200 leading companies that include Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nokia, Verizon, Sony, Netflix much more.--Ceecily (talk) 22:48, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article at Forbes has exactly this to say: "But maybe this licensing revenue is rewarding a worthy inventor? The inventor of Lodsys’s four patents is a consultant named Dan Abelow with a background in economics. If Abelow has ever produced any useful products or services, that fact isn’t evident from his Lodsys bio and his website." Even Forbes doesn't make it sound like he is notable. There is also no evidence that any of his patents have actually been licensed to the companies you named unless it was to settle a patent troll suit. Sasquatch t|c 23:01, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sega Pluto[edit]

(Find video game sources: "Sega Pluto" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images · free news sources · TWL · NYT · WP reference · VG/RS · VG/RL · WPVG/Talk)

no reliable sources, just a blog, not notable without the sources Karl 334 ^Talk-^-Contribs 21:42, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect and Merge to Sega Saturn. A basic Google search on "Sega Pluto" reveals that this unreleased gaming console is receiving coverage in various media outlets (e.g. [2][3][4][5]). Because reliable news sources have picked up on the claim, it can receive a mention. However, there's really not that much that can (or should) be said about the matter in an encyclopedic treatment of the subject, particularly as a discussion forum posting is at the source of the claim. One or two sentences mentioning this unreleased successor to the Sega Saturn within the context of that article should be sufficient. If more reliable information (e.g. technical specifications) and corresponding coverage in reliable sources were to come to light in the future, I would have no prejudice against the article being recreated. --Mike Agricola (talk) 22:50, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Well, this nomination is a terrible failure of WP:BEFORE, as there are plenty of reliable sources on this. However, Im still unsure of whether or not there is enough to warrant a "keep", or if it should be a "merge/redirect" to the respective Sega consoles. Sergecross73 msg me 03:02, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Sega Saturn. While there are some sources, there's not a great deal of information, and it seems to be simply a slight variant of the Saturn with networking functionality. Every variation of a product doesn't need a separate article, particularly if it's never released. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:02, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Sega Saturn. All of the usable sources refer to the same leak. There isn't even enough conclusive agreement on whether it's real. Even as vaporware (if the prototype is indeed one of two), there isn't enough information available to support an encyclopedia article. Merge and incubate in the Saturn's article, and if it can graduate to its own, fare thee well. czar · · 13:06, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - There's not enough information for a stand-alone article, but there's plenty of sources on this, so it would probably be better as a subsection in the Sega Saturn article. Sergecross73 msg me 13:50, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. As everyone said above, it's an unreleased version of a souped-up successor to the Saturn. So onto the Saturn page it should go. --ip.address.conflict (talk) 18:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - There are clearly several non-blog RSes available on this topic. Hoax or no, deletion should be off the table completely. With the available RSes, the article meets the minimum requirements for a standalone article in my view. Of course there's no requirement that all articles meeting the minimum reqs require a stand-alone article, though. A consensus-based decision to merge would be fine, though I'd really have preferred to see that discussion take place at WP:PM not at Article for Deletion. As Sergecross73 said above, a little WP:BEFORE would have gone along way here. The nom was fatally flawed from the start. -Thibbs (talk) 20:28, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge. If there wasn't already an obvious parent article, I'd agree with you. However, since there is, it's probably better served in the context of Sega Saturn than being a pointlessly split stub. Ubcule (talk) 21:04, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Betty Brosmer[edit]

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

Redirect to Joe Weider. Brosmer co-authored two fitness books with her husband Weider, an industry pioneer, but the media credits her with little else. Her article's other claims are dubious and sourced solely to a self-promotional website and books authored by in-laws. For example, she is credited with co-founding Shape and the International Federation of Bodybuilders, but Weider's numerous recent obituaries only credit Weider (and his brother) for this; Brosmer is generally mentioned in passing as a former model he married. Coverage dedicated solely to her is lacking, and what there is to say about her is covered succinctly in her husband's article. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 20:45, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep My first reaction was that this would be a "Delete" but then I looked at www.bettybrosmer.com, which is actually a fansite rather than a personal site, and I have to say - she obviously had a massive amount of exposure and publicity in her day. Scanning through the magazine cover gallery, there are several references to articles within the magazines on her, so she wasn't just a cover girl, but someone with articles on her. Being on so many magazine covers (often as the sole cover star) in the 1950s/60s, means that she was obviously very well known at the time and widely recognised. Publication wise, I see a Spanish book about the history of obscenity calling her the definitive 50s pin-up, and a few other mentions, but not many. Because she was big in the 1950s and 60s, and the publications that would have covered her aren't the type of publications that would be a priority for digitising, most of the sources/notability material is not readily available. There looks to be quite a bit about her in the Newspaperarchive (subscription required to read articles, which I don't have, but I can search and see results.) from the 1950s onwards. I'm going to say that the sheer volume of exposure and magazine space that she demonstrably received, in a very definitely pre-Internet age, is evidence of notability. Mabalu (talk) 02:23, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll say, however - "the first supermodel"? Oy. Unsourced claims like that need to be killed with fire - just how many claimed "first supermodels" are out there, anyway? Mabalu (talk) 02:26, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't dispute that Brosmer had success as a model, but I feel it's problematic to justify an article using cover scans on a fansite and an online newspaper archive neither of us can access because 1) we have to infer a level of significance on our own for the former, and 2) we have no idea what's actually in the archive (are the hits for full articles, passing mentions, or just photo captions?) and we can't source anything from it. Can we justify a stand-alone article with questionable claims with these - and one sentence in the history of obscenity book - as our independent sourcing? In sourcing articles on prominent '50s pin-up girls like Bettie Page, we don't come even close to having this kind of sourcing problem. If Brosmer was on Page's level - and Brosmer's article certainly suggests she was - I see no reason to think we wouldn't easily find similar coverage. What we can independently source for Brosmer will leave the article a two-sentence stub. I still feel the redirect is appropriate without better sourcing. Mbinebri ^{talk ←} 14:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bettie Page was not a simple pin-up like Brosmer, but had a more specialized niche. This has apparently given her a cult-following which has lasted into the internet age, but says nothing about which of the two was more widely known during the 1950's... AnonMoos (talk) 15:06, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep -- In the 1950's, she was a very noted "pin-up" girl, who was as famous as many well-known actresses (at least in the United States). AnonMoos (talk) 04:13, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

But that's debatable. There are a decent amount of 1950s newspapers from the United States available on Google News. How does the amount of Brosmer's coverage in those newspapers compare to that of "well-known actresses"? Not very well, it looks like. I realize that lots of sources are not available free online, and Brosmer may still be notable even if she was less famous than well-known actresses. Nevertheless, the number of sources we can find free online doesn't appear to support the idea that Brosmer was very famous. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Teddy Turner[edit]

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

This is definitely a borderline case. He fails WP:POLITICIAN, and his notability is largely WP:INHERITED. He may pass WP:GNG, since there are multiple sources with in-depth coverage of his congressional run. But that may also mean he's notable primarily for one event. If he continues his political career, he should meet our notability standards. If he sticks to his career as a schoolteacher, he probably won't. So what do we do in the meantime?

Merge/Redirect per Enos733. Ray^Talk 16:06, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to South Carolina's 1st congressional district special election, 2013. Perhaps it is too soon for the subject to have a stand alone article, but the reasoning of BDD appears to be sound. The subject has received significant coverage from multiple non-primary reliable sources, and therefore clearly meets WP:GNG and/or WP:ANYBIO; however, that coverage is all surrounding a single event which is the subject of the article South Carolina's 1st congressional district special election, 2013 and thus falls under WP:BLP1E. As such per WP:POLOUTCOMES a redirect to that event is in order. If the subject of this AfD becomes involved in other races for national office in the future and receive significant coverage for those races, than a standalone article can be revived from the redirect that this AfD it presently appears this AfD will create. As noted by BDD the subject isn't basing his notability based on his notable father; although WP:NOTINHERITED does apply, there is sufficient significant coverage of the individual himself that it is not really a concern IMHO. When the redirect is created may I suggest Template:R with possibilities be used.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:03, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus. There's a complete lack of agreement here on the best way forward with this article, but there's definitely no consensus to delete it - the content appears useful somewhere, whether it's in the form of a transwiki, a merge, a rewrite, or a combination of these. Unfortunately this AfD has not provided a strong pointer in any particular one of those directions. ~ mazca ^talk 22:10, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Grantsmanship[edit]

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

Reads like an instruction manual (WP:NOTHOWTO). Yes, AfD is not cleanup, but this has been tagged as "essay" since 2011. Sandstein 20:25, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete - The WP:NOTHOWTO/WP:NOTESSAY issues with this article are abundantly clear. The article doesn't get many visits or edits. That said, there are bunch of references which cover Grantsmanship. Its notability seems clear. As the nom mentions, this would definitely be a clean up delete. NickCT (talk) 20:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki to Wikibooks. This is a nicely written essay that would take a lot of work to convert to an encyclopedic article. The topic is clearly notable, so the only argument for deletion is that it needs to be blown up, per WP:TNT. Outright deletion would be a waste of good material. Per WP:PRESERVE and WP:ATD, such essays are quite appropriate for transcluding to Wikibooks. Stubifying the article would also be appropriate, but then we'd lose the material. --Mark viking (talk) 22:58, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Grant writing, which is a stub, but probably has the more appropriate name for an encyclopedic article on the subject. The length of time a cleanup tag has been unresolved is not relevant to an AfD. The topic is clearly notable and it can certainly be made more encyclopedic. As well as changing the writing style, one could discuss studies on grant writing such as this. RockMagnetist (talk) 05:31, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Grant writing is only a part of the process. The grantsmanship also involves selection of the subject, planning and executing the scientific project, "selling" the project, reviewing grant applications, etc. Lots of people do it, and there is a lot of literature.

Polynomial recurrence[edit]

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

Non-notable type of recursion, which, if it needs encyclopaedic treatment, should receive it as a minor subsection in an article like recurrence relation. Currently an orphan linked only from the page on Michael Somos, despite having been around for years. There are a few hundred Google Books and Scholar hits for the term; as far as I can tell, none or almost none refer to recursions of the type discussed in the article. JBL (talk) 18:42, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Polynomial recurrences play a role in in dynamical systems theory, connecting Poincare recurrence to additive combinatorics through the work of Hillel Furstenberg and others; Terence Tao has a nice lecture on this. They also play a role in the theory of cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generators and in special functions. The current article is but a particular definition, but it seems like the topic of the article has potential to be expanded. --Mark viking (talk) 21:12, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the situations you mention, there are also so-called "polynomially-recursive sequences" in combinatorics (which is what I was looking for when I came across this article). I agree that there is probably an interesting article to be written with a name similar to the one of the current article (there are, after all, several hundred book and scholar hits). But I don't think the current content of the article bears any relationship to what would appear in such an article, and moreover there's so little there that it's not as if deleting the current article would be a barrier to writing a more useful one. --JBL (talk) 21:56, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The topic is clearly notable and relates to Somos sequences. Deltahedron (talk) 06:12, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Where does this notability come from? Can you find any source that considers the class of such recurrences? The fact that Somos sequences are examples does not automatically make this generalization notable. --JBL (talk) 13:50, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to recurrence relation. The notion described in the present article is a non-linear generalization of linearly recursive sequences. I'm by no means an expert in such things, but the definition seems to be rather obscure, and the present article title does not seem to be a good fit. I think the material would be better as a section of the recurrence relation article. Ozob (talk) 10:44, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not a common use of "polynomial recurrence". Alternatively, move to algebraic recurrence and merge to recurrence relation. A "polynomial recurrence" should be $a_{n}=P(a_{n-1},a_{n-2},\ldots ,a_{n-k}),$ , where P is a polynomial. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:07, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. with extreme prejudice. What will it take to remove this? Not that it is a big deal, but it has been over 4 years. Here are the facts: Exactly one article links to this aside from stuff like "pages flagged as problematic in March 2009" and the like. That one page is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Somos which has 1.5 lines of text. It says: " he proposed a conjecture about certain polynomial recurrences, now called Somos sequences " If you go to the linked article it is nicely self contained and has a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrence_relation. SO there is no reason for this to be here although it isn't hurting anything either except, I suppose, that people arrive here looking for something else.

Akbar Khan Qureshi[edit]

Apparently non-notable social entrepreneur. No hits on Google News.
I just created this article as a move from category space, per Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2013_April_8#Category:Akbar_Khan_Qureshi.
However, when I then speed-read it, it seemed to be full of WP:PEACOCK phrasing ... and the assertion of notability that I had thought I had spotted in the opening sentence was misleading. It says that Quershi is "current Ambassador of India for Nations United", which I misread as the United Nations. In fact, "Nations United" is Qureshi's own venture.

Non-notable subpages (declared genres of art) of non-notable artist's practice (his AfD). Doesn't pass GNG nor have RS via Google search. Several dePROD'd by SPA. Bundling related articles for deletion:

~~Delete All~~ Comment - thay are all clearly neologisms conceived by Thierry Geoffroy. Though I'd say Emergency Room may conceivably be a notable project. However, the article would need to fundamentally renamed and rewritten to be suitable for Wikipedia. Sionk (talk) 22:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changed my recommendation. I'm willing to believe these events, though not widely accepted terms in the art world, may be widespread enough and notable enough for their own entries in Wikipedia. The Thierry Geoffroy AfD was closed as 'Keep'. At worst the above articles should be merged into Thierry Geoffroy, which may be the best solution in the interim (unless someone fleshes them out pronto). Emergency Room has been rolled-out globally and, being a more recent concept, has several online sources available. Sionk (talk) 10:48, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What sources do you use to substantiate their notability (esp. the non-Emergency Room pages)? (Also note that the Geoffroy AfD was closed without any discussion of the keep claims. Based on the several users who have come out of the woodwork to support him, there has been much COI editing to go around but no source-checking.) czar · · 16:05, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see I'm commenting on the AfD and not jumping either way (though erring towards 'merge' in the interim). Check the Thierry Geoffroy article. I began to incorporate some of the better sources into it today but ran out of time. A work in progress! Sionk (talk) 17:42, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in the dilemma that I think Emergency Room (art) should be kept, as a real concept that has been deployed in numerous locations involving dozens of artists. It seems to me it is a concept that many people (i.e. the Press) understand and want to report. But the others should be merged to Thierry Geoffroy, as non-notable affectations of the artist. It looks like the other 'keep' advocates (below) are also referring to "Emergency Room". Is there some way the four 'add-ons' can be separated? Or does this AfD go to 'No concensus' followed by re-nomination? Sionk (talk) 20:40, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can vote keep on ER and merge for the rest, if you prefer. There is only one keep advocate below, the same user with unsigned comments, and since he's posting press releases as reliable sources, it looks like he didn't read my comment. This AfD will be relisted once or twice more before it's closed as no consensus. czar · · 23:02, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Life's too short ;) There's also The Delay Museum to consider. It will need merging into either Thierry Geoffroy or Emergency Room (art) at some point, I expect. Sionk (talk) 00:17, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

keep Emergency Room is a growing communauty and has involved hundreds of artists in New York , Berlin ; Paris ; Hanoi etc..

some of the artists have dedicated special chapters to ER as they seem to consider some of their works as emergency art . Here some I found for now, by googling an artist name with the word emergency art or emergency room , but there are maybe 200 artists listed if this list is updated ( http://www.emergencyrooms.org/artists.html ) 200 international artists minimum have been connected to this group , or movement ? some research have to be done in vietnamese or greek to be traced .

Thanks for the links, but on Wikipedia, notability for inclusion is judged by the GNG and its associated guidelines, which have specific criteria for link quality. In a sentence, articles require significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. (This is explained at WP:42.) The articles listed above are largely self-published sources or unreliable sources that do not help with that. They would be removed from any encyclopedia article. czar · · 16:05, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

is it so that the danish art agency is not a reliable source ?

http://www.kunstdk.dk/kunstner/sophie_hjerl/vaerker/emergency-art

, also the name of those artist have been publishedby several institutions including MOMA / PS1 but also on recognise institution like the polish Presidency .

is the publishing house Revolver not reliable ? http://www.revolver-books.de/w3NoM.php?nodeId=1084 or the institution PAN in Napoli ?http://www.comune.napoli.it/flex/cm/pages/ServeBLOB.php/L/IT/IDPagina/9193 or the prince of Denmark report in main danish newspaper Politiken http://politiken.dk/erhverv/ECE1464565/kronprinsen-sprang-paa-cyklen-for-klimaet/

Is the ZKM museum , Hans Belting and Peter Weibel not reliable source ?

or Weekendavisen , most serious danish weekly paper not reliable ?

or the a 20 mi program in the The Brian Lehrer Show "Where Art and Journalism Collide " dedicated to 4 Emergency Room artists http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/2007/mar/06/ not reliable enough

Sorry to be an amator wikipedia users , but I have the feeling some one erased all the names of the artists that participated in the Emergency Room communauty , how is this possible , to make history disapear ? who did that ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dicoss (talk • contribs) 19:20, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You can view how contributions changed the article over time via the "History" tab at the top of the article. Sionk included the rationale as to why the list was removed. The vast majority of the linked articles are not reliable, and many of those that are are brief mentions (press announcements) and not significant coverage. You can read more about this here and here. czar · · 23:07, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They were mainly removed because they were unsourced and almost all non-notable. With lists of living people in particular, this is a big no-no. See WP:LISTPEOPLE guideline. Sionk (talk) 00:09, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I understand thank you to give learning , and please receive my excuses to have not been through all the wikipedia rules yet ,it is not easy for me here , but why not keep the notable one ? the sourced ones like some mentioned above ? they must be about 40 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dicoss (talk • contribs) 06:55, 26 April 2013 (UTC) you say they " were almost all not notable " , but is wikipedia not a case by case plattform ? where some get erased and eliminated , and some can remain until next judgement ? can we erase all because of "almost" as an acceptable definition ? ( in this case maybe almost is about 40 artists) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dicoss (talk • contribs) 07:00, 26 April 2013 (UTC) Which ones of "the almost " could we saved for beeing erased , is wikipedia purpose to save history like doctors try to save life ? if there is any one to save from deletion should we not try to save them ?[reply]

How did you do research , did you take name by name or just delete all artists at once in one go ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dicoss (talk • contribs) 07:08, 26 April 2013 (UTC) None of those artists name were debated just eliminated , should we not take name by name and debate if they fullfill the criteria and why and why not ? one by one . some are also from other part like Vietnam , or have reference in greek linguage etc . The Emergency Room commnauty has existed for 7 years in ,i think, 10 countries with space implantation in Museum like MOMA / PS1 or PAN Napoli or the academy of fine art in Hanoi ... some of those artist must be eligible here in wikipedia to survive elimination . at least this should be debate case by case carefuly . — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dicoss (talk • contribs) 07:27, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Usually editing follows the pattern of bold (add), revert edit, discuss on talk page. Sionk started a section on the talk page if you want to discuss the edit further. Also, you are very familiar with ER for a new editor—if you have a relation to the article or artist, please remember to disclose any potential conflict of interest. czar · · 02:35, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tea Appreciation Day[edit]

This is supposedly a localized event by undisclosed "organizations" and other obscure people since 2005. There is no indication that this event is notable.

Delete I found a news article covering the day in the San Diego Union-Tribune, but no other reliable sources. There are several meet-ups worldwide for the event and a number of blogs about it. My impression is that this is a case of WP:TOOSOON--the event just hasn't been around long enough to generate independent coverage. While the topic doesn't meet notability thresholds per WP:GNG, there is no prejudice to re-creation if multiple reliable sources become available.

Does not meet notability criteria. Article used for advertising and promotion. It is little more than a list of clients. Rushton2010 (talk) 15:32, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator: Over the last few days the article has been substantially improved and all the issues, I believe, have been addressed so that deletion is no longer needed.
Rushton2010 (talk) 15:11, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I think this PR company is a very well known and is notable in UK PR/Media circles and although the article clearly, in my view, could do with some work and needs proper sourcing clicking on Google news provides many reliable sources. The noted employers and clients are part of what drives its notability. Such articles are difficult to get right I think but I don't think deletion is needed. (Msrasnw (talk) 15:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)) PS: Guidelines usefull here might be Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) and Wikipedia:Notability.Msrasnw (talk) 16:02, 18 April 2013 (UTC)PPS: The company is a large one - with a turnover of around £40million/year and a staff of 200+ - and is ranked by PR Week in their ranking system as 6th in the UK [16]. I am not sure if, or how, turnover and size contribute to notability but they would seem to me to have some possible role so long as it is verifiable and reliably sourced.[reply]

PS: Have added a note on PRWeek story about them editing wikipedia on behalf of their clients. I don't know if this adds to the desirablity or otherwises of keeping this article. (Msrasnw (talk) 17:26, 18 April 2013 (UTC))[reply]

PS: I have added some more refs on its history and on their edit "things" for their clients. The Refs are from the Times. The most recent ref I could find refers to it as Freud Communications, the PR behemoth but I am not sure if this should be added.

Comment Could merge with Matthew Freud in preference to deletion: its actions are closely linked to that of its high-profile founder, so it's unlikely there will be much press coverage that doesn't mention Freud.

Delete or redirect and limited merge per Colapeninsula. This business is majority owned by another PR business. The bulk of the article text consists of a client lists. Nothing in the article text suggests that this business, all by itself, has had the sort of lasting effects on its industry or anything else that would make it worthy of memory in an encyclopedia. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:55, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and limited merge. There is very little to the article about the actual business with the exception of a list of clients. The business does not appear to be notable by itself but I agree with Colapeninsula and Smerdis: the best course would be to merge the relevant non promotional sections to the page of the founder and then delete the page.Rushton2010 (talk) 17:47, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article has been partially improved over the last few days. The notability issue seems to hang off the fact that in 2011 it was rated the 6th best PR company in the UK by PR Weekly. There are still issues with neutral tone and all told, there doesn't seem to be a lot to say about the company itself. I would therefore reaffirm Merge and Delete. It would be more appropriate as an in-depth paragraph or two on the Founder's page than as a stub article with questions of notability hanging over it's head. Rushton2010 (talk) 21:18, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 8th largest in a major company in a major line of business is notable by any reasonable standard. I have tried to delete a good number of articles on firms in this industry, usually with success; this is above the bar in terms of importance. It may be owned by another company, but its operated independently. Atthe very lkeast, it can of course be merged with the founder. DGG ( talk ) 04:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. As per WP:TOOSOON. The subject does have significant coverage in a reliable source (Network World seems to have good editorial oversight), but I was unable to find other websites with similarly detailed write-ups or news stories.

Alternatives to deletion

{{WP:NALBUMS}} states that if the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion.

I checked the history for this article and note that use of other methods of dispute resolution such as listing on Wikipedia:Requests for comments for further input as required by {{WP:NALBUMS}}. or adding suitable tags was not used first.

It may be reasonable to merged the album into the artist's main article or discography article as per {{WP:NALBUMS}} which states "Album articles with little more than a track listing may be more appropriately merged into the artist's main article or discography article, space permitting", but this may lead to the bands article page becoming cluttered. Robcamstone (talk) 17:37, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Updated opinion: Having recheck The Soup Dragons article I note it has a basic Discography Section, which could have the information here merged with relative ease. So I have changed my vote. As the wikilink for the album Hang Ten! on The Soup Dragons would only redirect a user back to that same article, I would suggest once the infomation has been merged then the deletion could go ahead.

Such stock pumping web sites do not vouch for any of the information they publish and they often include advice by people who hold positions in the stocks. I don't think these sites confer any more notability than that small amount already provided by being listed on an exchange. And don't you think it's time you gave public notice of your relationship with the company? Joja lozzo 01:21, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment: I don't feel they are stock pumping web sites as you don't pay to get coverage on them, they come to you if they feel you have a good story. But in the end it's up to you guys on the fate of this page! My relationship with the company is that I recently have been getting interested in junior mining and exploration companies, living in one of the biggest mining hubs of the world (Vancouver, BC) we're surrounding by mining companies, Howe Street is famous for it in the industry. I've started to realize that mining is extremely important as almost everything we own is a product of mining at some stage of development. I noticed that there were a number of companies that extract the minerals such as Kinross Gold, Barrick Gold, and Newmont Mining Corporation on wikipedia, but hardly any of the companies that actually find the land (exploration and development) that then gets sold to these extraction companies. I then took it upon myself to create some pages for (what I thought) were notable junior exploration companies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KevinSpiro (talk • contribs) 16:16, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's too promotional. cf: "NioGold’s experienced and qualified technical team are overseeing the advancement of these projects, with current drill programs underway targeting expansion of the resource base." ; "NioGold also plans on continuing to drill on the Siscoe East property, this property lies on-trend between two of the highest-grade past producers in the area; the Sullivan and Siscoe mines with total production of nearly 2M oz gold." overemphasis on details of the financing ; dependence upon the notability of the general area where it works, It's nonetheless a somewhat notable firm based on the sources, and an article might be possible. KevinSpiro, it will be a good idea to make further articles through the AfC process. It's not policy that it be necessary, but it will help remove the inappropriate material before it gets to mainspace. It can be difficult to work in a field that one is passionate about without losing a sense of proportion, and you've gotten very close to the line. I am one of the relatively few people here willing to supporting editing by those as involved as you are, but it has to lead to a more encyclopedic quality than this.

*Comment DGG, that makes sense I see the bias in the wording. I understand if this page should be deleted, alternatively I'd be more than happy to go through and change the wording to what you would see in an encyclopaedia. I can remove the financing details as well, and put in what would would see on a balance sheet instead (or just remove the section entirely) as I believe it would be much more unbiased as you can see from the table on the top right their net income is actually in the negative! I'll refrain from any sort of bias or 'promotion' in any further articles (if allowed to create them). And I'll be sure to create any additional articles though the AfC process as well.

My view about financials is that well-sourced statements of income and capitalization are useful indications of the size of a business concern, and if over a period can show growth--or the lack of it; details about who exactly provided the money is usually unnecessary, unless the result was to purchase or gain a controlling interest in the company.

Merge: Over 40,000 websites mention the modern Siduri movement/book (SOURCE: I Googled "Teachings of Siduri"), plus Peter Dyr's book on Siduri "The Epic of Gilgamesh, the Teachings of Siduri and How Siduri's Ancient Advice Can Help Guide Us to a Happier Life" is currently a highly rated "Fiction Classics" Bestseller on Amazon.com (SOURCE: researchered book on Amazon's website - http://amzn.com/B00B5KFX06); seems popular enough to be mentioned on Wikipedia to me. My vote is for merge, I have re-introduced the original reference to the modern movement from a few months ago, which is at the end of the page on Siduri (see current version). I hope you, my esteemed editorial colleagues, consider this compromise acceptable.76.174.24.136 (talk) 16:08, 18 April 2013 (UTC) George Pyle[reply]
- Of course, "Teachings of Siduri" is not the same as "Church of Siduri". This article is about the specific named organization. Also that a self-published book which is currently free on Amazon is ranking fairly high at the moment is not terribly concincing to this Kindle owner; a lot of us will download just about anything to check it out if/when it's free. LadyofShalott 02:03, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, very good points, although, just to clarify, the book is highly ranked on Amazon's "free book" list. There are incredible numbers of free books on Amazon, so for a book to reach Bestseller status in its category means it is being downloaded significantly more than all of those other free eBooks. Of course, we have no way of knowing how many people are actually reading what they download from Amazon, probably, as you allude to, it is only a small fraction, but the same ratio probably applies to all free eBooks. That the book is self-published does not immediately disqualify it from being mentioned on the Wikipedia page for Siduri. According to Wikipedia's policy for using self-published sources: "Self-published sources may not be used for any claims about living people, except for claims made by the author about himself (or herself)." In this case Peter Dyr is making a claim about himself, that he believes in and follows the teachings of Siduri. I was unable to find any published book on Siduri on any of the eBook sites I use (Amazon, Kobo, Sony and iBooks), in fact, tellingly, when I typed "Siduri" into the search box of every site Dyr's book always came up first. Perhaps I am missing something important, I am relatively new to Wikipedia editing and your expertise on this matter is much appreciated. Is there a specific reason why we can not include Dyr's self-published book on the page about Siduri, when the claims he is making are about himself, no other published book covers the material at hand and by all quantifiable measurements (that are publicly available) the book is relatively popular? 76.174.24.136 (talk) 04:06, 19 April 2013 (UTC)George[reply]

considering you haven't even seen the movie Bluebird your argument is pure speculation. You have no idea what he does, how much he does, etc. In fact he is still in the movie at the end of the film in a very poignant scene. He is also noted as CREDITED in IMDB, actors who do not play a significant role are not credited, they appear as "rest of cast" -- by your 'assumption" if he were not important he would be "rest of cast" -- considering you havent seen the movie, your argument is mute and pure speculation. Since the movie premieres tonight, not enough media attention has been given and reviews and more information will be added as it appears in the press. Per Wiki " Comments should concentrate on facts that are verifiable from reliable sources." by your 'assumption" if he were not important he would be "rest of cast" -- considering you haven't seen the movie, your argument is based on your opinion as you do not know how significant his role is, you are guessing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.74.93.235 (talk) 14:44, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is correct -- my assumptions about Bard's role in the film are speculation because I have not seen the film. That is beside the point, however. The point is that there is no indication of any coverage of Bard in any reliable source. The sources mentioned in the Bluebird article do not mention Bard at all, nor does the UMaine article about Johnny Baseball. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then by your argument IMDb is not credible? IMDb uses a system whereby significant roles are called "credited" any other type of role is rest of cast." You cant have one rule when it suits you then switch it when it does not facilitate your argument. This movie releases tonight, thus far all that is out there is what the publicity department has released. You are using your assumptions when you feel like it, then switching it up to something else when you point is refuted. Bottom line, you can't assume anything, citations and valid info has been provided to substantiate this page.

You say "non notable" as your argument for delietion, IMDb states otherwise, the rest is pure speculation on your part and "not wanting to be wrong."— Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.74.93.235 (talk) 14:57, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft of Bangladesh Air Force[edit]

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

Unsourced list of aircraft of the Bangladesh Air Force. Very few sources/references given, inline or other, and all reflinks I checked returned a "404". All in all it is a very unencyclopaedic list more at home on a fan forum than on WP. It is a companion to the equally unsourced Equipment of Bangladesh Army, created by the same editor.

Keep "Lack of sources" is not a valid argument for having an article deleted. At Wikipedia, it seems to be standard to list aircraft/vessels/vehicles operated by the armed forces of a country.

Comment As discussed, a subject doesn't have a right to demand that she's not included because she doesn't like Wikipedia, Wikipedia doesn't need her permission, and there will be a discussion here. There are a lot of links to the article, which suggest that she's being used as a WP:SOURCE. As such, it may be worthwhile to help explain the source, especially if the source is her blog. A widely published and cited author, I'd lean towards keep actually. Barney the barney barney (talk) 18:40, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: A Google search indicated her work was cited in some 100 articles or more (biographies of royals) before the biography was written, not all are linked to the article. Her book Queen Victoria's Descendants from 1987 is the standard reference on this topic and widely used as a source on the genealogy of the British Royal Family. She has coverage in third party sources, most recently[19]. I think she clearly meets the criteria and the article would be useful especially because so many articles cite her work. The only reason to delete the article would be her wish to have it deleted. On the other hand, if you publish books and become an established expert on some topic, you will often have to accept that there is coverage of you in other media (eg., she probably didnt ask the individuals covered in her books for permission to include them either). Vinson wese (talk) 21:52, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
She is also cited in many books by other authors in her subject area, royal genealogy, as indicated by a Google book search (note that she was formerly known as Marlene Eilers only). Many of those books are also well-known books by well-known authors. Works citing her include Helen Rappaport's biography of Queen Victoria, the Historical Dictionary of the British Monarchy, Burke's royal families of the world, works by Greg King (author), etc. etc. She is a well-known figure internationally in royal genealogy. Vinson wese (talk) 22:13, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Sufficiently well-known as an author that this is not in the borderline zone. If there is some special reason for deleting, it hasn't been mentioned. The reason for not filling these requests, is that otherwise we'd be the encyclopedia of those who want publicity, which would make us not an encyclopedia, but a advertising site.

Delete -Fails WP:GNG. And not simply because the subject asks for deletion.--BabbaQ (talk) 15:44, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for failing WP:GNG. As usual, the subject's own appraisal of notability is irrelevant. Qworty (talk) 00:11, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. After some hesitation given the subject's desire not to have an article, I have to vote keep, because explaining a source used as such in over 100 Wikipedia articles with several published books that are widely used references seems more important than a subject's desire not be the subject of coverage. Someone who publishes books need to accept that they may be persons of some public interest relating to their publications/publication history. As pointed out by others, being opposed to the Wikipedia project is not a valid reason. Vinson wese (talk) 20:50, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have to wonder whether the subject gives the people that she writes about in her books a veto over their publication. It's rather surprising how many of the people who come here demanding that they shouldn't be written about on Wikipedia are themselves authors or journalists who write about other people. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:30, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - only actual bio source is a bio blurb of the sort that tends to be supplied by the subject. This is not enough for WP:BLP. (Arguably, this should have been summarily deleted.) - David Gerard (talk) 13:29, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - For multiple reasons. As David Gerard mentions, I don't see a substantial biography on this person.

Redirect to Manila, Philippines; the subject has received multiple mentions in non-primary reliable sources, however I have not found any significant coverage of the subject that gives in-depth focus on the organization. Therefore, the subject appears to fail WP:GNG & WP:ORG.

Keep I added a bit of prose and two more reliable sources verifying the prose. In the article references, the Miami Herald refs, the Journal of Phycology ref, the Atmospheric Environment journal ref and the IEEE conference ref are all reliable sources; the last two are in depth. There are also sources out there discussing roof cleaning and its effect on the use of roofs as water catchments in dry areas, and of course, lots of domestic roof cleaning sources such as the one Warden pointed out. Cleaning snow off roofs is another important issue in the high latitudes. The presence of multiple reliable sources shows that the topic is notable. While the article could be a spam target, possible spam suggests editing the article, not deleting it. A notable topic, per WP:GNG and no insurmountable problems with the article, per WP:SURMOUNTABLE, lead to a keep recommendation. --Mark viking (talk) 00:12, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Did you notice unusual amount of references to de Marne, Henri. ? It looks like this page was setup to promote his consulting service. Multiple reliable sources are present, therefore it is notable is a flawed argument. There are multiple reliable sources detailing how to wash glassware, cleaning lens, sterilizing dental tools, etc yet these topics don't necessarily deserve its own article Cantaloupe2 (talk) 10:23, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - In AfD these days, notability is based on whether a topic meets notability guidelines, such as WP:GNG. Saying that a topic does not deserve an article when notability tests say otherwise implies that some other reason overrides notability. But I don't see such a reason. For instance, claiming that the topic is too trivial would simply a personal opinion and probably an instance of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. We do have articles on window cleaner, exterior cleaning, and chimney sweep, too, all important tasks and respectable professions. --Mark viking (talk) 17:50, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Although it seems like a strange article subject, it seems to be obviously notable (roof cleaning as a subject is dealt with in numerous pieces online and in print). Beyond that, it doesn't seem any more trivial than the article on window cleaning, which deals with many of the same aspects of its topic as this article does for roof cleaning, and which has never faced a deletion discussion. Roof cleaning seems to have its own distinctive purposes and tools, which sets it apart as a unique field in maintenance. The page probably needs work and expansion, but deletion seems too drastic a step. Chri$topher 22:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or userfy. I agree that the subject has not played professionally, but that is only one measure of many for establishing notability. Barring that, I took a look at WP:GNG to see if I could find significant coverage of the individual in reliable third party sources. While a basic websearch does turn up oodles of hits for the individual, from what I could tell most were fan blog sites. I found only basic passing mentions of the subject in a few news sources. It is possible that the individual could achieve notability in the future (perhaps in just a few months) so if the article creator or some other enthusiastic editor would agree to userfy the article, that's my preferred choice. Barring that, Delete is the option to choose. But to summarize, college football athletes can achieve notability without playing professionally. This one has yet to make that mark.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:30, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Unless his 2011 Freshman All-American award came from a major, recognized group and that could achieve notability. I found no evidence of that in my search, but Artoo does admit that his own range is far too weak to abandon all hope.--Paul McDonald (talk) 03:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Concur with Paul's comment immediately above. This is a young college football player of marginal notability. Does not satisfy the specific notability guidelines of either WP:NGRIDIRON because he has not played in a regular season professional game, or WP:NCOLLATH because he has not won a major college sports award. Therefore, the subject must satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, and I don't see in-depth coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Delete, but userfy content upon request of article creator; he may prove notable during his remaining college eligibility. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Terror[edit]

Comment. WP:FILM seems to suggest that being a winner at the International Movie Awards, and possibly the other awards mentioned, may be significant. I came across this article after hearing a half-hour interview with the producer on a public radio station, so I'd say broadcast coverage isn't insignificant even if print coverage is hard to find. ~Amatulić (talk) 10:31, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NFILM, which I presume is what you meant, talks about "major awards" and I can find no indication that the "International Movie Awards" are that significant.--The Devil's Advocate _{tlk. cntrb.} 17:22, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It's a new film that hasn't reached the notability threshold of coverage at this time. The award is suspect to me: impossible to verify, since the awards web page doesn't list their own winners, nominees or entrants. Perhaps all entries that paid the entry fee won? That page hasn't updated their entry deadline since 2012. However, if it is in fact the first dramatization of truther theory, that is something not covered by the guidelines that personally I wouldn't ignore. --Ring Cinema (talk) 12:41, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Wikipedia relies upon the GNG for determining whether or not a festival is notable or not, but as this fairly new film is still screening at festivals and its future history is yet unwrit, why not Incubate this for a while and see what comes forward if/when it gains more attention?

Not that you're wrong, but is it still screening? --Ring Cinema (talk) 19:53, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Their website shows it as being "official selection" to screen in October at the 2013 Baghdad International Film Festival.[21] Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 21:41, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In order for a film to meet this particular clause of WP:NFILM, the screening at a film festival must be at least 5 years after its release. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 20:02, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@ AQFK: You may be misunderstanding me. I do not assert that the film meets a clause of WP:NF#Other evidence of notability... a clause set for something being considered historical for screening five years after initial release (check my essay). I am instead offering a conjecture that because it is STILL screening, coverage might be expected and that incubation out-of-mainspace is an option that allows continued and collaborative editing until WP:NF is a lock.

Redirect to Art_Olivier#Operation_Terror. I've added a bit about the film to Olivier's article and since he wrote and produced the film, it'd be a reasonable enough redirect to his article. It is possible that it might gain further coverage, so leaving it with the history intact would be a viable option and we could always userfy a copy to the original author if they showed interest. I'm not terribly optimistic about it gaining coverage, but stranger things have happened with films. In any case, the section on Olivier's page has the most important info, such as the release date, basic premise, and awards/noms. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:00, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rejected PROD. However the concerns have not been addressed by the bombardment of references - this driver fails both WP:NSPORT and WP:NMOTORSPORT, and I don't believe he passes WP:GNG either. The claim of being 'CASCAR Rookie of the Year' leaves out the fact that it was the CASCAR Western Series a regional, not-fully-professional series, not the CASCAR Super Series (which would pass WP:NMOTORSPORT), and thus he doesn't pass the sporting notability requirements; looking at the references that were added when the PROD tag was removed, one was a complete duplicate of another, and two more were merely name-drops, which I have removed; of the remaining references, 1 is a name-drop, 2 appears to be a primary source, 3 is a discussion board profile(!), 4 is a wiki, and 5 was summarily rejected at RSN.

Delete - Unrecognised organisation/body of a school. Does not meet WP:ORG. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 14:53, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This society is already covered in a section of the school article (though equally unreferenced there), so the long-proposed merge has effectively already occurred. No evidence of any distinct notability. AllyD (talk) 20:42, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Like other organizations, this society does not inherit any notability from its parent organization (in this case, the school). MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:20, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sajad H Hamdani[edit]

Sajad H Hamdani is [[WP:PERMAORPHAN|Permanent WP:Orphan since January 2011. Terribly written article, although typical of the vanity gumpf that seems to be written by Indians in Wikipedia, remove that and it's "he's an artist" and teacher at the Institute of Music and Fine Arts, Srinagar which itself has no article, and the references are all rubbish too.

Delete The article text just indicates that the subject completed a degree and has a job. The WP:ARTIST criteria require much more than that, and I have found no evidence that ths person meets these. AllyD (talk) 20:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Dead links, no sources found. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:16, 19 April 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. The subject has a relatively large digital footprint in terms of social media, which are also listed here on the page. It could possibly be a vanity page -thus a violation of WP:ADVERT if I am not mistaken. MezzoMezzo (talk) 06:22, 20 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
