2010 Las Vegas courthouse shooting[edit]

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

Delete: Not notable. Can be mentioned in the page of the courthouse where it happened, but shouldn't have its own article. Not notable at all, really. Cyanidethistles (talk) 23:42, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - multiple reputable sources establish notability for the shooting seperately fromt he courthouse itself. StuartDouglas (talk) 16:34, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:EVENT, "Events are probably notable if they have enduring historical significance and meet the general notability guideline, or if they have a significant lasting effect." This event has no historical significance or lasting effect. Also, "Notable events usually receive coverage beyond a relatively short news cycle." All the citations are from Dec. 4 and Dec 5 of 2010 with no followup since. Furthermore, consider "News organizations have criteria for content, i.e. news values, that differ from the criteria used by Wikipedia and encyclopedias generally. A violent crime, accidental death, or other media events may be interesting enough to reporters and news editors to justify coverage, but this will not always translate into sufficient notability for a Wikipedia article." Transcendence (talk) 21:42, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'probably', 'may be' - and there are other, later references including this speech to the Senate which references this event specifically - http://www.reid.senate.gov/newsroom/pr_040913_reid_invokes_las_vegas_courthouse_shooting_while_discussing_gun_violence.cfm) StuartDouglas (talk) 04:59, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. News of no lasting impact. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:24, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep major, high profile event of significant importance. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 22:44, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Considering that this AfD questions the very claim that this article is a "major, high profile event of significant importance", simply stating that claim doesn't seem to be a very good reason without further elaboration.Transcendence (talk) 07:43, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep per StuartDouglas, WP:BEFORE, and WP:HEY. In 33 minutes, while also answering a telephone and the faculty room door several times during our busy finals week, I was able to find and add four pieces of information, with good citations, that this incident has had a lasting impact on court security and the issue of gun control. The US House issued a resolution; the labor union of the late court officer honors him; the Texas Ass'n of Counties uses the shootting as a case study; and many other sources have noted that this incident has had lasting impact. The nomination borders on the frivolous. Do you want to build an encyclopedia, or do you want to troll the Internet? Bearian (talk) 21:44, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I must say, after seeing the edits, I was going to say you have a good point. But then I come here and see what you wrote. And you know what, I don't take too kindly to your words. I'm sure from your point of view this nomination makes no sense, but from mine it did. Just as from my point of view, it boggles my mind that you, as an admin, don't refrain from making personal attacks or from assuming bad faith, but I'm sure from your point of view, you have a good reason to ignore those guidelines.

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

Subject does not appear to be notable. As mentioned in the other, successful AfD. While she has appeared in at least minimally notable productions, she does not appear to have independent notability.

Strong delete: A non-notable act. All indications are that this is a multi-wiki hoax by the same authors who also created Cesar David Yedra, Cesar Yedra, Cesar DeLuise and photo uploads of SCHUYLER and SCHUYLER1 Languages used by this individual under various disguises are multiple accounts not only in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian, French but impressively enough in Scots, Cebuano, Asturiano, Afrikaans, Corsu, you name it, they have to be online in all these languages. Pictures attached are also very dubious and might be to some practical jokers rather than the actual individual.

Adding other articles created by the same author. Same criteria. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 20:01, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Holy bulk deletions, Batman! 28 in one AFD? I'll grant that some probably should be deleted, but a quick review showed that there are reasonable soruces to pass WP:GNG for some of the nominations as well (such as Andrew DePaola). Just because one editor creates an article that might (probably will) be deleted is not a reason to delete every article created by that editor unless there is some sort of malice or bad faith involved. I don't see that here. It doesn't appear that WP:BEFORE was followed and I think we should take more time before sending all 28 to AFD just because one (probably overly-enthusiastic) editor created them.--Paul McDonald (talk) 21:27, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

These were all nominated because the claim of notability would reasonably be that they were NFL players. Since none have played a regular season game, and all contained about the same information, notability is in question. None seemed to have any other claim. Nothing about any of the subjects seem to pass clauses A, B, C, or D of WP:BEFORE. I'll fully accept a good slapping if my logic is horrifically flawed. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 22:59, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is a good faith nomination, just one I disagree with. For example, Google News Archive is showing a large number of articles for DePaola, as does Barbieri. Yes, the articles claim notability through NFL play, but I would say that the articles--at least in these cases--are incomplete and notability can be found through WP:GNG for their play at the collegiate level. That's not an automatic assertion, it does still need to be addressed--but the AFD is so bulky that it is unwieldy to truly determine for each article.--Paul McDonald (talk)

Speedy close (not "keep") without prejudice to immediate separate renomination of any and all of these. As Paulmacdonald says, dealing with all of these in one big bulk nomination is too unwieldy. And at least one of the creator's bios has been recently kept. So I think each of them is entitled to separate scrutiny. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:26, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree I forgot to specifically mention "without prejudice to renominate" and that of course makes sense.--Paul McDonald (talk) 11:11, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn I'll close and renominate individually as needed. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 16:24, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This NYTimes piece is solely about the book, and regardless of its fame, the film does not get to reap the benefits. The others are primaries. I can find no news sources providing any coverage of this film. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 19:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Like Jethrobot, I could find no independent reliable sources for this. Nor does the IMDb listing [1] doesn't offer any links to substantive outside coverage either. Even a minor mention in an independent reliable source might be enough to justify a mention of this film project in the article for Meltdown (book) (and perhaps a redirect of some sort as well) but I didn't find anything.--Arxiloxos (talk) 02:42, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete for now. Allow undeletion/recreation back when the film is released and if it gets the requisite coverage to meet WP:NF. Certainly policy allows this topic be spoken of within the articles on Thomas Woods and/or Meltdown until that time. Okay with it being userfied as release approaches.

Delete: Non-notable upcoming film. SL93 (talk) 03:55, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete due to lack of notability per the general notability guidelines. All I can find are passing mentions, both last year and from last March, about this film about to be released. There does not seem to be any traction or significant coverage. Until there is some, it is too premature to have an article on Wikipedia. Erik (talk | contribs) 21:05, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE or REDIRECT to Ghost Hunters - Although Brian was in the first few seasons of Ghost Hunters and a season of Ghost Hunters International, he was apparently kicked off the projects and never mentioned again. He hasn't appeared on anything except an occasional internet radio show and an amateur paranormal show on YouTube called "Haunted R.I." Lately he's been accused of defrauding people in the fan community by taking money for guest appearances and never showing up, and ripping people off over merchandise sales.

Interconnectivity[edit]

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

Vague unreferenced personal essay Bhny (talk) 18:29, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Not sure that this is a personal essay. This is seems more like a case of WP:DICDEF, and I'd normally be inclined to delete. However, the term does seems to have some coverage. Here, it's used as a metric of e-mail connectedness at the level of an entire country. Here it is used 85 times to describe collaboration. Here it is used as a category of network architectures. The problem is that the term seems to take on its own definitions across different disciplines (which the current article suggests), none of which seems to have any substantial coverage. I'd like to see more feedback from others before I make a decision here. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 19:40, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The incomprehensible personal essay part is- The concept is closely linked to the observer effect and the butterfly effect.[1] It is often linked to the concepts of interconnectedness which is used to refer to the spiritual, and interdependence which refers to the moral, rather than physical or scientific.' Bhny (talk) 21:59, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Interconnectivity, interconnection and interconnecteness are all related concepts. They are very broad concepts, potentially applicable to any system that has components or elements that interact. A Gscholar search for "Interconnectivity" reveals a broad set of articles, with no one field dominating. The term is used often enough to be highly notable, but I doubt we could write an article covering all its uses. The best approach may be a WP:DABCONCEPT article that points readers to various fields where this is a notable topic. The current article espouses a particular view of interconnectedness, that of interconnection producing fragility, and seems to have a too narrow/personal point of view. --Mark viking (talk) 23:08, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - subject is already dealt with much more thoroughly in our articles on emergence and holism. Gandalf61 (talk) 10:15, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While it may indeed be that the English noun "interconnectivity" refers to all of the things mentioned in the article, it seems like a stretch to say that therefore there is a single notion of interconnectivity that applies to biological systems, network topology, etc. The one source cited does not seem to be adequate to establish this. I would need a good deal more convincing that synthesis of these different uses of interconnectivity is not original research. Sławomir Biały (talk) 11:07, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Subject appears to be a national broadcaster in Kenya. While this article currently needs better references, this nomination lacks any sort of deletion rationale. - Dravecky (talk) 19:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This AfD was created because I declined a A7 Speedy for pretty much exactly the same reasons as Dravecky. I haven't had a comprehensive look for sources but superficially it looks a genuinely notable broadcaster, albeit one probably unknown to the majority of people in the US. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 20:39, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural keep as while a deletion rationale has been added, it's keyed on a failed proposal that was unable to gain consensus in its favor within a reasonable period of time. That is to say, Wikipedia:Notability (journalists) is not an accepted notability standard for Wikipedia so allegedly failing it is meaningless. - Dravecky (talk) 07:15, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - hitting "news" at the top of this AfD returned 9 hits eg: this, this and this, and a web search returned more.

This article has been redirected/reverted numerous times. Subject is a fictional recurring, but not main character of a notable television series. Other than a link to the network (HBO) site of the show, no references at all. Article is solely plot summaries of the character, season by season, written in an "in-universe" style. IF the subject was a MAIN character, I would consider keep, but is a recurring character and the notability guidelines would point to simply including the character in a a list of characters. Therefore, I would delete and redirect to the appropriate list of characters of Oz (TV series) ~~and~~ ~~salt~~ ~~to prevent further re-creation~~. Safiel (talk) 02:58, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're not asking for deletion, so it's actually not a valid AfD. Having said that, I see redirecting as appropriate, but question whether protecting that redirect is necessary. There may indeed be more sources forthcoming, and main vs. recurring character is not a distinction our notability guidelines make--it's all about the coverage. Jclemens (talk) 03:52, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment On reconsideration, salting is a bit more than what is called for in this instance, so I have modified my AfD statement accordingly. Also, added delete to redirect in order to get within the AfD guidelines. I think my main issue is people will restore the article, but never do anything in the direction of finding sources or actually improve the article from essentially a useless plot summary. Looking at the fictional character herself, at least on cursory examination, I don't see enough coverage centering on her to justify a separate article. Safiel (talk) 05:36, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- the article is about an important Latino and Female character in Oz- which was a major prison drama in the English speaking world. The complaints by the proposer suggest the articles needs reviewed and tidied up rather than deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Locomotion is your duty (talk • contribs) 20:16, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The ethnicity and sex of the character is irrelevant. Again, the character is a recurring character, not main character. Mentions of her in reliable sources generally mention her in the context of the overall show, rather than focusing on her directly. A paragraph on her on a "list of characters" page would be more than sufficient. There is insufficient coverage in reliable sources to justify a separate article. Again, I would restore the redirect.

The article includes absolutely no sources of any kind purporting to demonstrate notability, which surely counts against any claim it should be kept.

Delete Local event, no lasting significance. Fails WP:EVENTLGA _talk^edits 04:13, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - sources have been added, but nothing that might change my initial verdict. We now have:
- Official site (not independent)
- Organizers (not independent)
- Myspace page (not valid, per WP:SELFPUB)
- Blog post (not valid, per WP:SELFPUB)
- Blog-like post on an events portal (most likely falls foul of WP:RS)
- News report (even if we consider Pro TV a reliable source, and keep in mind it's the most tabloid-y Romanian TV station, now OTV has been shut down, it's still a routine piece of local coverage, not indicative of deeper significance)
In sum: this sounds like it was a nice weekend and plenty of fun for the audience and the performers. However, the bar for inclusion in an encyclopedia is rather higher than that, and I simply see nothing indicating it's been cleared. - Biruitorul ^Talk 19:25, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is the best news sources I could locate for the article "Jazz in the Park" because there were no national mentions in national or international newspapers. In my opinion this festival has the potential to grow but only trough promotion. I am willing to fight for keeping this wiki article because it's a free entry event that i enjoyed and I would like to see grow and help other people enjoy the park in a different way. I searched the web and did my human best for adding reliable sources, but the truth is there are none at the moment. sergiu.topan ^Talk 14:54, 31 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As I previously mentioned, the deletion of this article would only harm a up-and-coming festival that is of local importance for now but is expected to grow.

- I understand you have good intentions, but the purpose of Wikipedia is not to promote or to generate notability; it is to record phenomena that are already demonstrably notable through third-party independent sources. - Biruitorul ^Talk 14:29, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What if the event was notable but it did not receive enough attention from the local and national press because cultural phenomena is not on their agenda? We sacrifice a page like this and many other because of a faulty media system that promote non-values rather than cultural happenings. (On a private note, what I saw there was shocking to me. After 12 AM when the concerts ended, there were no traces of litter on the grass or on the alleys, everything was in the trash cans, and around them since the trash cans were too small. I've never seen such civilized people, but you don't hear that on the news "Participants at jazz in the park festival left the park clean" and you never will.

Do Not Delete - There are other Romanian festival listed with fewer references and lower notability and yet are not proposed for deletion. The topic will become more notable, the article will expand and therefore I see no reason for its deletion. Furthermore I've added regional news coverage since international is nonexistent. And please keep in mind it's the largest Jazz festival in Romania. This should give it enough notability.sergiu.topan ^Talk 21:39, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Let's not go around making unsubstantiated claims. A source from just last month indicates that Romania's largest jazz festival is the Gărâna Jazz Festival, which has the additional attribute of being in its 17th edition, as opposed to the Cluj-Napoca event, which is just getting started. - Biruitorul ^Talk 19:27, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- You seem terribly keen on seeing this article deleted. I don't want to be unprofessional but I am starting to doubt your interests and your impartiality. Why didn't you propose Gărâna's page for deletion since the page has less references than Jazz in the Park's. And as you said, Romanian press is of little impartiality so the article that you cited falls under the same category. The same Romanian press (maybe not the same online newspaper) said Jazz in the Park had 20.000 spectators as opposed to Gărâna's 10.000. sergiu.topan ^Talk 23:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looking for sources, Cluj-Napoca seems to be getting some decent jazz events in recent years at Casa Tiff, but I am not finding wide notice for this festival. That may come in future years, but as things stand it is WP:TOOSOON to demonstrate achieved notability for the event through strong 3rd party sources. AllyD (talk) 06:12, 6 August 2013 (UTC) I suggest adding a brief referenced paragraph on the 2013 event into Cluj-Napoca#Cultural_events_and_festivals (so to that extent I am perhaps suggesting a merge). AllyD (talk) 06:15, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I am sorry for the last comment, in which I accused Biruitorul of impartiality. I let my emotions get the best of me. I have nothing to add to the article and now all I can do is wait for the decision. If there is someone with further suggestions I am open to discussing them. sergiu.topan ^Talk 10:24, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep or move to Incubator. This looks like more of a problem with the citations than the underlying topic. Pro TV source has been added and foreign language sources can be tough. This article does need some TLC though and it would be helpful if some more experienced editors assisted a new editor. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:55, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- There's nothing particularly "tough" here. The only vaguely credible sources are this, this and this. The first two are local as well as blog-like. As for the last: well, not everything published on the ProTV site confers notability, I hope! It's telling that nothing featured in the main national newspapers (Adevărul, Evenimentul Zilei, Gândul, etc.). At best, being very generous, what we have is the "burst or spike of news reports" described at WP:PERSISTENCE. - Biruitorul ^Talk 14:07, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Distance e-Learning (Philippines)[edit]

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

Seems redundant to Distance education James^x1 2345 22:03, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Distance e-Learning is not the same thing as Distance Education or e-Learning.^[1] Distance Education usually follows a correspondence model and e-Learning typically relies on the use of the Internet and/or other Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the residential setting/classroom instruction. Distance e-Learning combines the strengths of the two concepts by its extensive use of online communication to bridge the gap in geographical constraints. Kurt Valcorza (talk) 22:37, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If that is the case, why is the Philippines special? James^x1 2345 22:49, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have tried requesting for a new article entitled "Distance e-Learning" but had been declined twice. Also, the term Distance e-learning was pioneered by the University of the Philippines Open University to describe the approach they use. KValcorza (talk) 22:57, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We would have really wanted to write about Distance e-Learning in general, not only about the Philippines setting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Distance_e-learning KValcorza (talk) 00:13, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your question James: As indicated in the page, Distance e-Learning was pioneered by the University of the Philippines Open University the 1st Open and Distance e-Learning was held last year 2012.^[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by N.musngi (talk • contribs) 23:23, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Although Distance eLearning (DeL) and distance education are related concepts, their main difference is in the core approach wherein the latter's focus is on the fact that the teacher and the learner are not required to be physically present for the course of instruction, whereas DeL takes off from that same concept with an additional point of using ICT-enhanced tools in the learning process. It is also different from just eLearning which does use ICT but can occur in our out of the classroom (face-to-face or distant instruction). Distance eLearning is a fusion of the concepts and methodologies of distance education + eLearning. This concept is pioneered by the UPOU in the Philippines. FBorre (talk) 23:34, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - it doesn't really matter who "pioneered" it - for it to be considered notable enough for inclusion here, the concept itself must have received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. A number of the new users here should have a quick read of WP:SPA. Dumping a brand new 60,000 byte article into Wikipedia isn't a great idea at the best of times, even worse an idea when there's a AFC submission that hasn't been submitted (from the looks of it). There is nothing to indicate anyone has previously created (or tried to create) an article at Distance eLearning (without "Philippines" on the end). Can anyone demonstrate (in 2-3 sources) that the concept itself is notable? Not different, not unique, not interesting... notable? Stalwart111 23:46, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep on the basis of the sources provided that would seem to demonstrate that the subject itself is notable, having received widespread academic coverage separate to coverage of either of its disparate parts.

Delete, especially since the huge majority of the page (most notably, "Issues and Solutions") is WP:Copypasted from the sources, as evident from the formatting. As for the rest of the article, Merge to Distance education. There is literally no difference between the topic covered there and here, by definition.

Those don't help. The reports about his signing is just basic reporting that almost every player gets and in terms of the I-League 2nd Division coverage, the only actual coverage of the league came from two to three different papers. Not enough to prove that there is enough coverage of the league for the players to be notable. Cheers. --ArsenalFan700 (talk) 17:26, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of scandals involving American evangelical Christians[edit]

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

This was previously nominated in 2007, and the result was no consensus. I have been discussing the scope of the article, and the harder I look, the more I think the article should be deleted. Under what circumstances can we say these things are "scandals"? Is a pastor admitting a "homosexual affair" necessarily a scandal? For that matter, do all of these people self-identify as "evangelical"? It would seem not. St Anselm (talk) 09:29, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

strong keep as someone with an interest in this field (and someone who has contributed to the article), it fulfills an extremely useful purpose by summarising these scandals in one place. Without it, a researcher would have difficulty finding all the subjects. The concerns the nominator has raised have not been contentious to date. There have not been any real arguments over whether or not something counts as a scandal - the term is reasonably well-defined. Likewise the issue of whether someone is an evangelical has not been a problem. Whilst some people may not self-identify as such, evangelicalism is well-defined by the Bebbington quadrilateral. SmilingFace (talk) 10:32, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not at all. WP:BLPCAT says "Categories regarding religious beliefs or sexual orientation should not be used unless the subject has publicly self-identified with the belief or orientation in question", and that "these principles apply equally to lists". St Anselm (talk) 10:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(1) I think you are misapplying that policy. Belief relates to overall faith - eg christian, muslim, hindu, etc, not a subdivision of a particular faith. Evangelicalism is a movement within protestant christianity, not a belief. Its beliefs are the same as other protestant christians. Please use common sense as I doubt this is a contentious matter.

(2) But in any case, that is an irrelevant argument, as if there was a subject who was clearly not an evangelical, they could be removed from the list. WP:BEFORE and WP:ATD stress that an article that can be improved through editing is not a candidate for deletion. SmilingFace (talk) 12:16, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Without it, a researcher would have difficulty finding all the subjects." This is a poor argument for keeping the article. There are uncountable research questions and it is not the place of Wikipedia to anticipate each one and provide a summary of relevant articles. alanyst 17:58, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This was the version of the article nominated last time. St Anselm (talk) 10:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
...and revert to worldwide scope - see my comment below. SmilingFace (talk) 11:20, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
comment whilst we should assume good faith on the part of the nominator, I do wish to raise some background in the interests of transparency. The article previously had a worldwide scope but in March 2013 the nominator renamed it and reduced the scope to america-only (diff [[2]]). There was no prior attempt to obtain consensus. I was on a wikibreak at this time and didn't notice the change (I would have objected if I was around). I queried this yesterday with the nominator and respectfully suggested that his change didn't improve wikipedia. I didn't find his answers convincing - his main concern could have been fixed with a simple edit that preserved the worldwide scope. This morning I returned the article to its former name and added back the non-US entries. The nominator promptly reverted everything I did. Forgive me for saying this, it's not meant to be a personal attack, but the pattern of the nominator's behaviour suggests they may be seeking to suppress material that is critical of evangelical christians, particularly in the UK. My reasoning for this allegation is that their change to the article's scope had the effect of removing UK scandals. Also, from the times the nominator is active, I would guess that they are in the UK. They may be worried that UK scandals will be included once again if they lose the consensus over the reduced scope of the article, which was their change. Hence they have responded with this AfD. My apologies once again for raising this, but it is a possible conflict of interest. I will declare a personal interest in that I recently re-created Tony Anthony (evangelist), a UK evangelical who has recently been the subject of a scandal, and I was wanting to include him in this summary article. However, even in the absence of this, I would still have challenged the nominator's changes to the article once I became aware of them. SmilingFace (talk) 11:20, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As it turns out, I live in Australia (as my user page indicates). St Anselm (talk) 11:28, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, I did have a look but missed that. But my point is still valid as there are a number of Australian scandals that were deleted by your change. SmilingFace (talk) 12:20, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

further comment - with regret again, I need to mention that nominator just deleted three entries from this article on the grounds that one was unreferenced (ref could have easily been added from the main article) and two were not scandals (in my view they clearly were scandals and had stood for some time). I reverted these and he immediately redeleted the unreferenced one whilst I was in the process of adding a reference. Given his nomination of the article, could this be considered tendentious editing? I unwittingly broke WP:3R whilst reverting these, for which I apologise - I could have done all the reverts in a single edit but thought it would give a better history if I did them separately. SmilingFace (talk) 14:11, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as a notable subject area which has been subject to discrete official scrutiny. Inclusion ('evangelical', 'scandal') can be discussed in each case where necessary. I recommend that the page should be moved back to the worldwide title, then split to create an American sub-page including the Senate investigation. (Disclosure: I'm sympathetic to the message but appalled by these messengers.) – Fayenatic London 12:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As being a non-encyclopedic topic - we do not have a list of "Scandals involving noted (fill in the blank religious leaders)" and this appears to be a mélange including "this person was divorced!" type scandals. The "Senate investigation" bit, by the way, does not even belong in this "list" at all. Collect (talk) 13:44, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We have plenty of lists of scandals - just because there are no other religious ones doesn't mean that these won't be created in the future, nor does it deny the notability of this list. There's no need to delete the article to rectify your other concerns. SmilingFace (talk) 14:23, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and restore global scope. No policy-based reason given for deletion, which boils down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT. The topic is notable and widely treated as such in reliable secondary sources. Identification as an evangelical is trivially easy to determine, as is the status of an event as a scandal. There is no policy basis for requiring events in a list to be related except in terms of the list criteria. That the scandals occured mainly in the United States is no reason to restrict the list exclusively to the United States. The list complies with all of our policy requirements for list articles. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 14:00, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this list unless there are similar lists created for scandals involving other religious or atheistic people (WP:EGRS). Why not a List of scandals involving American atheists? Or American Catholics? Or American Jews? Or American Muslims? I'm sure all four of those lists could be created in a couple of hours. I don't see the value of this list except providing amusement for nonreligious people. Considering that lists like this could exist for people of every belief system and the fact that "scandal" is a subjective judgment, I don't see why one group of people are being targeted here. If the decision is to keep this page, I'll work with others to create one for other religious and nonreligious people. Newjerseyliz (talk) 15:03, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there is Roman Catholic sex abuse cases by country and Catholic sex abuse cases in the United States. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone starts a list of (eg) Jewish scandals. Defining a scandal is not really subjective and it hasn't been a major issue with the article to date. SmilingFace (talk) 17:21, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is a crucial difference here. Sex abuse cases are a crime that involve depositions, sometimes trials and settlements. I think that "Scandal" IS very fuzzy and it seems like many of those list were individuals conducting extramarital affairs or same sex relationships when they were stated to be conservatives. And, again, if anyone wanted to create an article on Buddhist leaders convicted of sexual abuse or Jewish leaders convicted of financial improprieties, those pages might be considered to have some merit to it because there is a court record and usually news media to document the circumstances of the event. Newjerseyliz (talk) 03:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete IMO this looks more like a response to Catholic clergy scandals than an effort by the anti-religious faction. (And I really have to add that the fact that people are sinners is more often cited as a reason for religion, not against it.) Having said all that an encyclopedia is a place for plainly presented facts. Putting a lot of instances together to make a point (whatever point was intended here) falls under the category of original research, opinion, essay -- which are all discouraged by WP:NOT. I was also surprized to see that some people are included who are not even clergy. I don't think Richard Nixon would be included in a "List of Quaker scandals." Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:18, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I also noticed that some of the "scandals" were what's called "human weakness", some were plain fraud, and some seemed more like cases of mental illness. Kitfoxxe (talk) 16:55, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're speculating about the reason for creation. A summary list is an aid to research and a valid article - it is not inherently against policy. We have plenty of other lists of scandals - see the numerous links in Political scandal for example. If this one is inappropriate, so are all the others. We also have List of religious leaders convicted of crimes. I think perhaps a new title along the lines of "list of scandals involving evangelical christian leaders" would be sensible, but that doesn't require deletion. A scandal is something that discredits someone, irrespective of the cause. SmilingFace (talk) 18:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"You're speculating about the reason for creation." Well, yes. That's why I said "IMO." Kitfoxxe (talk) 02:25, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - a BLP nightmare. What is a "scandal"? What is an "evangelical"? etc. etc. Giant Snowman 16:42, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Already responded to - the BLP issues are manageable and the terms are well-defined terms. The article is approx 10 years old and has not proved contentious. SmilingFace (talk) 18:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

questionable; if kept needs to be renamed As it stands, the scope of the article according to its title is overly broad; evangelicals in the US, at any rate, are exceedingly common. At the very least it needs to be renamed somehow to reflect that this is a "clergy" category (yes, I know that's the wrong word, but you understand what I mean). Personally I think we were better off with the original televangelist scope. Mangoe (talk) 17:30, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with "televangelist" is that it's very limited in scope. There are very few non-US televangelists, and not all of the US scandals have involved televangelists. I suggested "list of scandals involving evangelical christian leaders" as a new title - not everyone would be considered clergy. SmilingFace (talk) 18:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Potential for BLP violations; "scandal" is too subjective and sensationalist; will attract POV pushers and edit warriors offended over inclusion/exclusion of their favored/despised evangelical personalities. alanyst 17:58, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Potential BLP violations are not grounds for deletion. Scandal is not subjective/sensationalist. If we say a list of evangelical scandals should be deleted, we must also delete all the lists linked in Political scandal, for example. The same concerns about POV pushing etc apply. Lists of scandals are an established type of article and have not been overly contentious or difficult to manage. SmilingFace (talk) 18:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, the list does not assert notability of the set. WP:LISTN demands that the list topic "has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources". While individual scandals and "recent scandals" have been covered heavily, I can't find any significant discussion of the topic of American Evangelical scandals as a group in reliable sources. --JFH (talk) 00:36, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you have twisted WP:LISTN by selectively quoting it and adding the word 'demands'. The actual sentence is (emphasis mine): One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines. The policy also says There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists, although non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations are touched upon in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability. WP:LISTPURP includes The list may be a valuable information source. This is particularly the case for a structured list. Examples would include lists organized chronologically, grouped by theme, or annotated lists. I would submit that this (structured / summary) list article is a valuable information source. SmilingFace (talk) 08:23, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll admit to not reading the guideline carefully, but it doesn't seem right to say you can turn a non-notable topic into a structured list and avoid deletion, especially when listed items are not notable. "Valuable information source" is exceedingly vague; any list of information is potentially valuable. The guideline admits there is no consensus here, so I feel comfortable with my argument. --JFH (talk) 03:33, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment What if I believed in the Napolean complex theory and I started an article on Scandals involving shorter than average men? I think that would be obviously WP:OR. It's the same here. The list is only here because (IMO) people tend to think religion and scandal-free behavior is or should be related. Kitfoxxe (talk) 02:28, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete To repeat what other editors have said, what is a 'scandal', and what is an 'evangelical Christian'? Quite frankly any negative categorization list is a clear delete to me. This landed on WP:BLP/N yesterday regarding the addition of negative information about a female pastor (or whatever they're called) that while salacious (I'm sure) could hardly have been construed as a scandal. Or could it? It depends on one's point of view, I suppose. That's the problem - the criteria is simply too subjective and a violation of WP:BLPCAT. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 20:45, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I haven't looked into every article on the list to see what these "scandals" are all about, but I assume most of them are are not notable enough for their own articles, and it's not encyclopedic to list people based on minor scandals or simply personal problems. WP:LISTN should be interpreted stictly when it involves negative things about living persons, due to the general BLP principle of not giving undue weight to controversies etc. Also, WP:BLPCAT says "Caution should be used with content categories that suggest a person has a poor reputation" and I think this should be applied to lists, as well. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 18:34, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (possibly purging). These are unpleasant businesses which I would like to sweep under the carpet, but they have happened. This concerns hypocrasy by high-profile ministers of religion, whose lifestyle has proved to fall short: they have failed to practise what they preached.

Glass diatonic harmonica[edit]

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

There is no evidence anywhere of notability. The article is sourced only to the manufacturer's web site, and searches have found nothing better. For example, the first few Google hits are this Wikipedia article, another Wikipedia article, a Wikipedia talk page, a page on a site for glass artists to publicise their work, MySpace, a personal web page created by the creator of the "glass diatonic harmonica", a link to wikirage which is currently a dead link, and so on and so on...

As far as I can see, nobody but the manufacturer has ever given any coverage to it at all. If someone else has done so, please let us know who, and where. What exactly would be merged? The statement that someone (apparently totally unknown) has made a harmonica partly out of glass, and that nobody has taken much notice of it?

Delete - if you read the article provided above, though, it doesn't actually suggest the series is a hoax, only that it hasn't aired yet. The conduct of the producers has "stirred suspicion" but that's not the same thing as being a "blatant hoax". The article itself includes coverage like this which simply suggests that a small group of producers (having received agreement from Sheen to appear) have been working hard to promote it. I certainly don't think it's anywhere near notable yet and the article should be deleted. But we should delete it via AFD, I think, lest we speedy delete something as a hoax that turns out not to be.

Keep: I think he would probably meet Wikipedia:Notability_(politicians) criterion 9 (sub-national legislators) by his position on the Xinyang standing committee. The standing committee is a fairly small body that holds the real power, and Xinyang has a population of 6.1 million in its administrative area. I'm not sure how many members are on that standing committee, but it's usually only a dozen or so. ~~All the companies he's chairman of seem to be owned by the city, so he's a politician rather than a businessman~~ (EDIT: no they're not, I was wrong about that), but some of them are fairly big; Xinyang Auspicious Tea Group apparently has assets of 1.85 billion RMB (~200 million USD). He probably doesn't qualify for notability as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, because even though it's supposed to be an important national level decision-making body, in reality it has no power at all; it also has about 2000 members, and the 'national committee' just means the whole thing, not an important subcommittee. "11th member" isn't a ranking either, it's a mistranslation of "member of the 11th CPPCC" (2008-2012). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.249.54.254 (talk) 16:31, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Kind of a case of someone notable for one event only. One of his Vine videos garnered direct coverage in several reliable online sources (Gawker, MSN), but it really seems clear that this one video is the only thing driving any coverage in reliable sources. He appears to have been notable for a 1 week period in May, 2013, over this one video/event.

I definitely understand that, but that is unfortunately not grounds for notability. We generally don't include biographic articles on persons notable for only one event, and the Youtube channel views don't really factor into notability. If you can find followup coverage, or anything that suggests he's still being covered in reliable sources for something more than the video from May, then you may have a better argument.ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ bomb 02:40, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's definitely helpful! I think this is a borderline case, but the evidence you've supplied of at least one instance of continued coverage past the bump from the first Vine of his to become a hit suggests that he may be a notable individual. I'd really like to see more than the one instance (I'm personally discounting most of the original coverage), but this is enough for me to be totally fine if this were to close as a keep or no consensus.

Comment - Merging to Outline of dance is a functional option per WP:PRESERVE. Upon comparing the two articles, this article actually has many topics that are not present in the outline article. Northamerica1000^(talk) 04:14, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree there are many links that are not in the outline article. But I don't think it is worth preserving them. The index article seems almost like a random selection from the Category:Dance and its subcategories. Almost like it was once just a personal user list of articles. There is no obvious reason of what the articles have with each other in common separate from dance. The outline article in contrast contains main dance topics, not just apparently random topics like Academy Award for Best Dance Direction, Hip hop dance and Open position.

Keep Per WP:CLN, lists and categories are complementary, not antagonistic. Warden (talk) 11:40, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree lists and categories are complementary, but how does that fact relate in particular to the article Index of dance articles? I still have no clue as what would need to be included in this list. All pages in Category:Dance and its subcategories? These are 1000s of articles about Dance. LazyStarryNights (talk) 16:13, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - If there are lots of potential entries then this is a good reason to have a page of this sort. Categories work in a mechanical way and so lack intelligence. The page in question can be tailored to show topics in a more structured way, helping to guide the reader through the forest of information. Warden (talk) 09:39, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - But such guide does not work with a list of 1000s long. Dance is just a too broad category to capture in one list article. The guide function is already provided by Outline of dance. LazyStarryNights (talk) 22:23, 8 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:CLN. Afterwards, perhaps a merge of Index of dance articles, Outline of dance and Category:Dance into one article could occur to provide readers with a cohesive, comprehensive page that covers the many topical aspects of dance. Northamerica1000^(talk) 16:22, 6 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge: As some of my comments have hinted before, based on progressing insights this discussion gave me, I like to withdraw my deletion proposal. Instead I like to propose a merge of Index of dance articles into Outline of dance. Since I see no valuable information in Index of dance articles as explained above and I have seen no concrete enough opposition to this idea yet, I'd like to propose a merge by just making a redirect without using any data from Index of dance articles. How can I achieve this from a procedural point of view? I know how to propose a merger under normal circumstances, but since this is my first deletion proposal, I am not sure how to move forward and "convert" it into a merger proposal. For example can I just add the merger tags to both article and link to this discussion? Or should this discussion first be closed and open a merger discussion?

Delete In spite of a couple of mentions in newspaper articles, I don't believe that this neologism has achieved enough notability to deserve an article. It is really PR-speak rather than an actual field of endeavor. Looie496 (talk) 15:45, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are misrepresenting what is a trivial mention. The above articles provide in-depth coverage of the subject. You also can't honestly call this "PR-speak" when the sources above are considered reliable. There are also entire books published on the subject here and here and it is discussed with some coverage in other leadership books here and here I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 17:29, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Regarding notability, the claim by the originator who coined the term in 2006 is that this is "a new field of study," repeated in the Wikipedia article. He claims to have "written many of the central academic and discussion papers defining the [field]." However, the originator runs a consulting enterprise that depends on PR. The test of notability should therefore hinge on it being recognized as a new field, not on how successful the PR effort is in getting it mentioned in the mass media -- a defining function of PR. If one searches the academic literature, including psychology, biology, and a subset of neuroscience and so on through the WEB OF KNOWLDEGE, only a single hit is returned. If one searches the entire biomedical literature for all neuroscience and brain science through NLM's PUBMED, only one additional hit is returned. Searching through JSTOR which includes business & economics, humanities, law, psychology, education, social sciences, and more, only one unique hit is returned. The entire English language academic output since 2006 shows only 3 mentions, but they fail the notability test because reading/inspecting the contents of those articles reveals that when "neuroleadership" is discussed it is referenced back to citations to the "Neuroleadership Journal." In what sounds like an academic publication, the "Neuroleadership Journal" is in fact a product of the originator, that exists only on one of his websites. Thus the appearance and use of the terms in the academic fields the originator claims to be penetrating shows that it is a result of the orginator's PR effort, not an accepted new field of study. Furthermore there are zero hits to support the originator's claim of having authored many academic articles. Indeed, the originator claims to have earned a " professional doctorate in the Neuroscience of Leadership from Middlesex University" when a search of that university's degrees and courses of study fail to show that such a degree exists. Wikipedia editors are not necessarily in a position to evaluate academic legitimacy claims, however we can and do recognize self-referential PR efforts. That is what is going on here. The appearance of the term in "reliable sources" by itself does not impart "notability" if they are the result of PR exposure. Wikipedia routinely turns down pages on individuals who are not sufficiently notable, even though they have may authored books (note that the originator does not have a Wikipedia bio page). Wikipedia routinely turns down pages on commercial products. There is objective evidence that this is not a new field of study, while there is evidence that this is part of a commercial PR effort, therefore Wikipedia should turn this down until sometime in the future when the legitimacy and notability are not questionable.Lapabc (talk) 22:26, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't an article about the creator, it's about the topic, so it really doesn't matter how little credibility the person has because the article isn't about him. The creator also doesn't need an article for something to be written about a concept he has created (see WP:NOTINHERITED). Your last point about coverage in reliable sources as a result of PR has no basis, because there's no evidence you've offered that this is so except simply saying it is; it makes absolutely no sense why coverage in Forbes and Business Week would be disregarded as PR when these publications are not regarded as PR machines. They have an editorial board that is well-regarded and if this really was simply PR, there's no reason it would have been received coverage outside of routine PR reporting in these particular sources. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 00:53, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it's about the topic which is defined in the questionable Wikipedia page as: "NeuroLeadership is an emerging field of study focused on bringing neuroscientific knowledge into the areas of leadership development, management training, change management, education, consulting and coaching." My comment details non-notability in the fields of management, education, neuroscience, etc in which it is supposed to be an emerging field -- it objectively is not. As for dismissing my conclusion that penetration into mass media magazines is the result of PR as having "no basis" and is simply an assertion, you are wrong, it is a professional judgement based on experience. Perhaps you are too credulous in believing that because Forbes et al. have editorial boards "there's no reason it would have been received." That statement of yours is, in fact, an assertion and a belief. It's a belief that runs contrary to the way PR is practiced in which edited, respected mass media are specific targets -- see for example: http://www.ereleases.com/prfuel/stories-placed-magazines/ Do not misunderstand that I say we should disregard Forbes et al. because they can be compromised -- that would be absurd -- I am saying that in *THIS CASE* there is a clear and documented PR agenda that is not entirely credible, so the simple appearance of hits in these magazine is not automatically "notable." I did not raise the PR issue, the other person who voted against this term did. I happen to agree, but I spent most of my effort demonstrating that the communication vehicles of the various fields of study this term purports to represent in fact do not recognize it, in these self-identified fields the term is essentially non-existent and "non-notable." If that situation changes, perhaps a page would be justified, but not now, when the meaning of the term itself can't be supported. Lapabc (talk) 04:07, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

it is a professional judgement based on experience. This is also called original research. I appreciate the amount of effort you've put into your arguments, and I can fully understand why it is frustrating that topics with little scientific basis get attention like this even though they are not recognized in their field, but we will have to agree to disagree here. There is some additional coverage of this term In the Sydney Morning Herald and The Economist, the latter of which even describes it being "filled with banalities." It's not positive coverage, but it's press all the same. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 16:28, 29 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To answer Tidyui (talk), the usual way to show notability is to use a citation to a reliable independent source. You might want to read the notability guidelines for example. Often popular software is mentioned in some independent trade publication. Or you could try a combine article on the company as well as the software with which it is associated (even if it does not "own" the software but publishes it as open source). Sometimes local press will cover a company getting funding, building a building, announcing quarterly results, etc. Even sources in other languages (e.g. Swedish) would suffice if a bi-lingual editor could verify that what is said in the article is paraphrased from that source in a neutral manner. Just self-claiming something was downloaded a zillion times is not enough: all sorts of people do that. Someone besides the writer or user of the software needs to care enough to publish something. Also, using the personal pronouns above might imply that the Wikipedia: Conflict of interest guidelines might apply. Thanks. W Nowicki (talk) 17:51, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of symphonies by Robert Schumann[edit]

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

The list is, for one thing, very short and it covers material already dealt with in List of compositions by Robert Schumann. An article on the symphonies would probably work, but I don't think a mere list does. Herr Beethoven (talk) 04:04, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – 1) Is "being short" a valid reason to delete? 2) The subject is notable and presented consistent as part of Category:Lists of symphonies by composer. 3) This list is the only place where the symphonies' incipits are shown. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 13:48, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per point 2 of above. List passes WP:LISTN and WP:LISTPURP. Ansh6 6 6 16:47, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1) By itself, "being short" is not enough to delete something, but in combination with other factors, it might contribute. 2) The subject may be notable, but wouldn't you say it is already dealt with in the List of compositions by Robert Schumann? The symphonies are listed there, too. I was thinking of this guideline when I opened this discussion. As to the other lists in the category, three (Mozart, Haydn, Graupner) wrote a very large number of symphonies (definitely warranting a list), String symphonies (Mendelssohn) is formatted as an article rather than a list, and List of symphonies by Johannes Brahms was created by the same user in the same manner as this list. I probably should have made this a group nomination with both the Brahms and Schumann lists, but I wasn't aware of the Brahms list. 3) While pretty, I don't know if the incipits are really all that helpful or necessary. They might be used elsewhere, though (i.e. the symphony articles). Herr Beethoven (talk) 17:04, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say WP:Content fork applies to articles, not lists.

Manyang[edit]

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

"Just because it exists doesn't mean it is notable".

This article does not appear to meet Wikipedia's general notability guidelines. I have reviewed the sources given in the article and have found the following:

Source 1 is a a dead link to a .biz website— as such, there is no way to verify its content or existence, and so cannot be used to establish a claim of notability. That aside, a .biz website would not have been likely to qualify as an independent reliable third party source anyhow.
Source 2 is a link to a personal web page about ju jitsu, not about "Manyang".
Source 3 was probably a link to a page created by the European Perguruan Pencak Silat Manyang training group in the Netherlands— they rent out a gymnasium there and hold classes, and the link likely discussed the origins of "Manyang"... though we cannot know for sure since it now turns up a "page cannot be found" error instead, and seems unlikely to have been an independent source of information in any case.
Source 4 appears to be a link to another Dutch "Manyang" fansite— though this time the page does exist, it does not appear to be an independent source and does not appear to have editorial oversight (much as any fansite).
Source 5 was a link to another Dutch Pencak Silat web page on Manyang, but it, too, now turns up a "page cannot be found" error.
Source 6 is a link to a paper written by an anthropology Ph.D. candidate on Manyang— it is a paper that was never published, and as such constitutes an instance of original research which cannot be used to establish a claim of notability.
Source 7 is a link to an article about Pencak Silat, which is a legitimate notable martial arts style from Indonesia, but the article does not actually mention "Manyang" anywhere.
Source 8 is a link to a Lycos members personal web page, which is also no longer in existence and wouldn't have been likely to have qualified as reliable or independent if it were.

I then conducted a search for independent reliable published sources on the subject of this article, and found nothing to suggest its notability (it has been mentioned on the Internet in a few places, but nothing appears to have been published on this art form). If it actually does exist (which it seems it does) and actually is a legitimate Indonesian martial arts form (which, as far as I can tell, is less certain), it has yet to attract the attention of a reliable independent source— on these grounds, the article's subject seems to fail to meet the general notability guidelines, and therefore I propose it be Deleted.

I am not certain I agree (nor am I certain that I disagree)... It seems to me that if the subject of the article fails notability, then it shouldn't have even a redirect.

It's worth noting as well that while the article does cite a considerable number of references, almost all of them are primary sources and few to none of them pass our reliable sourcing rules. For instance, content about a Toronto Hydro infrastructure project and the area's Toronto Transit Commission service is sourced to the companies' own websites rather than to media coverage — while most of the other content is sourced to maps, city council or school board committee meeting minutes and other stuff that doesn't count as valid sourcing. Out of fifteen sources being cited, I see exactly three that aren't total junk — and two of those three are supporting content about an apartment fire in the neighbourhood, which isn't notable enough to even warrant being in the article in the first place, while the third is a book which is being cited to support a single statement that doesn't actually demonstrate the notability of the neighbourhood at all. Like all populated places, the neighbourhood would most likely qualify for an article that was actually good and properly referenced — but this one isn't either of those things. Delete.

Women LEAD[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

delete, this org fails GNG specifically WP:ORG. It is sourced but the sourcing is dubious and I still believe this is promotional. Here is a breakdown of the sources provided.

the Forbes article is by a contributor, similar to wikipedia thus it can not be considered reliable.
In Peacebuilder there is literally one line about the foundation "Women LEAD, the organization co-

founded by Claire and Claire, does its work in Nepal." this makes it more about the founders and not siginificant coverage for the organization.

Peace x Peace [[16]] states the exact same thing
[[17]] is a compnay profile nothing more
The Hoya is a student newspaper about a student project [[18]]
[[19]] is an interview with a co founder but is primarily to promote buying tickets. And the voices from the frontlines are contributors just like wikipedia thus again not a reliable source.
[[20]] The Huff post is a blog by the founder. Thus again not a reliable source.

Keep Several other editors pointed out in the first Articles for deletion discussion that it's notable enough for coverage in multiple secondary sources.

You wrote above: "Forbes article is by a contributor, similar to wikipedia thus it can not be considered reliable" - can you please explain what you mean by this; how is the Forbes article "similar to Wikipedia"?

Neither is this article promotional - yes the Peace X Peace reference includes two very brief mentions of that organisation's awards event last December: that doesn't make it "primarily to promote buying tickets", and more importantly doesn't make this article itself promotional for Peace X Peace or for Women Lead.

The WYSK reference used in the article [21] cannot possibly be described as a "plug for funding". The two links "6" and "7" above that you've found from WYSK and Indiegogo were never used in the article as references, so can you please explain what they've got to do with this article?

Also, you wrote above "Here is a breakdown of the sources provided", but have so far only criticised 6 out of the 16 (now 17) sources provided. What's wrong with the rest of the sources? Ruby Murray (talk) 13:38, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The majority of the information is trivial. The biggest exception to that is [[22]] the rest are plugs for funding or more focused on the founders of the foundation. I personally don't think the company warrants an article, however the founders do. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 14:29, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Which of the references in the article is a plug for funding of the subject? Ruby Murray (talk) 14:37, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[[23]] and [[24]]. Also to answer your question about Forbes if you notice this is from the contributor section, meaning I could sign up as a contributor and publish it. It doesn't count as a reliable source. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Neither of those two references was ever used in the article, so it's puzzling that you keep mentioning them. Which of the references in the article is a plug for funding? Ruby Murray (talk) 15:08, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It may help you to read WP:NOTRELIABLE, it doesn't have to reflect that in the article the sources themselves is what happened. It states that "Questionable sources are those that have a poor reputation for checking the facts, lack meaningful editorial oversight, or have an apparent conflict of interest. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely considered by other sources to be extremist or promotional, or that rely heavily on unsubstantiated gossip, rumor or personal opinion. Questionable sources should only be used as sources of material on themselves, especially in articles about themselves; see below. They are not suitable sources for contentious claims about others." It's 11:30 pm so I am going to bed for the night. I'll check this in the morning. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:15, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have repeatedly refused to answer my question: which of the references in the article is a "plug for funding"? You first tried to speedy-delete the article as spam, and then took it to Articles for deletion twice on the grounds of promotion plus notability, and every time I ask how it's promotional you dodge, and try to steer the discussion toward notability and sources. You refused since December to reply to my question of "where's the spam?" on the article's talk page, and in both AFDs to point out where the promotion is. This time, you've actually falsely accused me with fake references in the nomination to try to argue that the article is promotional. This is beginning to feel a bit like a vendetta. Good night. Ruby Murray (talk) 15:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that my answer doesn't satisfy you. I have answered several times but you don't like the answer. That's ok that's up to you, we all have our opinions. You can take that as a vendetta, mistaken beliefs or whatever makes you feel better. As far as the WSYK, you are correct that is a mistake on my end. I used the term Women LEAD when I searched and these came up. I had several tabs open and I confused the ones in the article and the ones from my own search. The other sources are still lacking though. Number 1 is a contibuted story to Forbes and not by the magazine or website. Number 2 shows as not found [[25]]. Number 3 [[26]] shows page ok. Number 4 is about the founder Claire N which describes her and not WomenLEAD as the recipient of the award.. "Generation Peace Award winner, Claire Naylor" (this is why I said the founders may warrant their own article). #5 is a self published interview by Claire C, hence unreliable and self promotional. Reference 6 is the companies own website which can not be used to establish notability. Number 7 is again more focused on the founders and not the business. Number 8 is an Interview of the founder. Number 10 is a blog, thus fails WP:RS. Number 11 can not be verified. Number 12 is the Hoya which the founders themselves state in 10/12 "the two co-founders want to make Women LEAD sustainable and reputable both at home in the U.S. and in Kathmandu" This makes it sound like it's not a notable company. Number 13 is just company info, again doesn't support notability. Number's 14 and 15 are the exact same article. The relevant passage " Claire Charamnac, representing her friend and co-founder and Generation Peace Awardee Claire Naylor, pointed out how much Claire has accomplished at the age of 22. “Imagine what she may do in the next 10 years!” Women LEAD, the organization co-founded by Claire and Claire, does its work in Nepal." This again highlights that the founder is the award winner and not the company. Number 16 is a list that names WLead as 10th in the category, for leadership, not a winner thus does not show notability. Number 17 mentions LEAD once that I can find saying "Women Lead Nepal, a NGO run by two Georgetown graduates in Kathmandu, organized the same on Women’s Day in which volunteers danced and marched around the roundabout in Jawalakhel chanting ‘My Future: My Voice’" Which is very trivial. That's leaves number 9 as the only partially acceptable source. That's a answer for every source you have listed. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 17:05, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pleased to learn that the references you incorrectly added to the nomination, and your subsequent assertion that "the rest are plugs for funding", were mistakes on your part, but you also need to cross them out in the nomination immediately to avoid misleading other editors, even if unintentionally. Ruby Murray (talk) 17:43, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Easily meets WP:ORG just like it did eight months ago. The nominator seems to falsely assume that the sole purpose of references is to prove notability, disregarding the fact that primary references can be perfectly acceptable sources. As for notability, the wikilawyering gymnastics being used to discredit all of the sources disregards the fact that references such as this recent article, from June 2013, easily demonstrate that this organization meets general notability criteria, with significant coverage independent of the subject. The writeup in the The Hoya similarly demonstrates notability. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 21:44, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- User:Gobonobo would you consider the asking that the criteria being set out at WP:ORG to be wikilawyering?

Acceptable sources under this criterion include all types of reliable sources except works carrying merely trivial coverage, such as:

inclusion in lists of similar organizations, Inclusion in "best of", "top 100", and similar lists does not count towards notability at all, unless the list itself is
quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources, or
passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization.

or from WP:GNG that require ""Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail" or "Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material". If it is why do we have them listed the way we do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hell in a Bucket (talk • contribs)

Sachin Dev Duggal[edit]

I was working on Amazon's mturk.com and noticed some type of SEO firm was keeping tabs on this page. Starter of article was "niviocloud," the same company this guy owns, so it appears to have been done by a pretty crafty publicity firm that knows how to use citations, images, and section headers on here to make their people look legit. Anyways, the person doesn't appear to be notable so much as a classic Internet self-promoter, and whatever companies he's affiliated with still appear to be in a seed or early stage. Possibly violates WP:NN and WP:CRYSTAL, but I want to hear what others think.

Delete this one yes, these are both highly promotional. That alone is not grounds for deletion, so perhaps there could be some kind of merge into a single notable article. This one has at least attempted to make him look notable, but the promotional language is just too over-the-top, and many of the sources are just promotional web sites. I can take a look to see if the company article can be saved....

Follow-up: I spent (too much) time on the nivio company article and think it can be justified. It seems Duggal is "no longer with them", and continues to get some press, so is probably the more notable. Duggal sure is good self-promoter. For example, the product was listed in the WEF award of 2009, but over time Duggal claimed it was his personally. A lot of other assertions seem "optimistic" to say the least: announcing effectively the same product in 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Looking a bit at the history of these two, there have been a couple minor edit wars of people adding allegations about the company shutting down offices or laying off employees, but these are hard to verify, and were quickly reverted. One perhaps related source is http://ibnlive.in.com/news/excms-dirty-money-trail-punjab-to-switzerland/43046-3.html which alleges some tenuous connection to a scandal. But not sure that is a reliable enough source, and the connection is only touched upon. But after extensive rework to English instead of marketingspeak, I vote to keep the company article and delete the personal promotional one. Although perhaps not deep, the press is quite wide, since the nivio company appears to be spread all over the earth: Switzerland, UK, US, and Australia to some extent. W Nowicki (talk) 22:51, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes another note: it appears that the photo at File:Sachin Dev Duggal @ the World Economic Forum 2010.jpg was really taken in 2009, since it duplicates File:NivioCEOSachinDuggal.JPG which was uploaded in 2009, which agrees with the EXIF data. So that photo should be deleted too (alas, on Commons). Anyone know how to do that? W Nowicki (talk) 23:38, 20 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I really appreciate your heavy-hitting. I still have to respectfully disagree with your judgment on Nivio and advocate to delete both articles. WP:CORP requires substantial coverage of the source. Within the first three pages of Google, for what it's worth, on "nivio," I find mostly promotional materials, unrelated subjects, and very similar articles on the same two topics only - recent ones about receiving venture capital funding (WP:CRYSTAL) (supports the notion that it's still in a very early stage) and about bringing some sort of cloud service to the iPad and other devices. Although I realize that "depth of coverage" is a very subjective term, in my personal application of the term, I would expect a company with deep coverage to have multiple articles delineating its context or niche within the industry, multiple innovations and development through time, its financials, and its significant current standing within the wider business world. I just don't see that with this company; I fear we are left with mostly self-promotion. Jd027 (talk) 01:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well it sounds like we need at least a third opinion on if the company article is now only promotional. Can we delete the vanity article on its founder in the meanwhile? I did yet another pass on it to distinguish between a company saying something will happen, vs. the article making an assertion about the future, which clearly would be Crystal. The coverage includes several by professional journalists, not just bloggers. I also tried to avoid the usual blind repetitions of press releases. Clearly articles about historic companies that have no current standing whatsoever are quite common, and we need more of them in my opinion, to counteract recentism. The company has been around nine years, which in the Internet world seems long-lived (?!?). At least I find it very useful to have these narratives of companies that keep announcing things and getting money, and doing it again and again. Clearly doing it once is too common! There is no guideline (nor should there be) that says articles must be deleted on subjects that are good at self-promotion, which is all that a quick Google search turns up. If that were true, we would not have many on politicians. :-) W Nowicki (talk) 00:13, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but tag for improvement -- This has the feel of autobiography, effectiely ADVERT. There are elements of CRYSTAL in it, but I suspect that the multiple awards suggest that the subject is significant, not merely a good self-publicist. I thus take the view that the article is saveable, but it needs a lot of work. Peterkingiron (talk) 12:38, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 16:16, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So which of the two articles is the above comment talking about (or both)? At a minimum, the rules on bios of living persons says all uncited claims can be removed without debate in the Sachin Dev Duggal one. If it is going to stick, then it might be worth the effort. I still think the personal article should just go, since most of the sources are self claims. The WEF award for example was the company, not the person (and five years later the product is still not out?). Other "awards" are sourced to his own press releases or speaker blurbs, and are quite dubious. Even the patents which I cited in the nivio article, seem to be granted in 2012 for techniques that I used as a student in the 1980s, which were not really novel back then (available in literature since the 1970s). That is why I still favor a compromise of keeping the company article with at least some independent sources and more balanced language. Or maybe split these two discussions to clarify which article gets the axe. Thanks. W Nowicki (talk) 20:36, 30 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I don't want to get too involved but just scanning through the edit history I see some serious WP:COI and WP:PROMOTION issues. Per this comment the subject's IP address is 67.180.32.177; that address has groomed this article extensively. In addition, as already pointed out by Abatra, the bulk of the content was at creation by User:Niviocloud, an WP:SPA whose username also suggests a COI. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 20:19, 7 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well I hope someone else does get involved please so we can break the impasse. Still think the bio should go but keep the company since it is still around, but of course can wait for consensus, if any. I got tired of all that uncited promotion sitting around so reduced the personal vanity article down to a neutral statement of facts verified from the sources, as per Bio of Living Person guidelines. The other observation is that the claim about a foundation is probably not very meaningful. Private stock by definition is not very liquid until the company goes public or is acquired. I could not get the foundation web site to work for me, so no idea how legit it is. W Nowicki (talk) 19:42, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ian Speed[edit]

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

There are few newspaper sources. The sources that do are routine. They do not qualify under IAAF because IPC World Championships are not that. Consensus has been disability athletes need to either pass WP:GNG or win a Paralympic medal. I'd be all for changing that, but the discussion should be established on the sports notability page unless there is an WP:IAR rationale I am not seeing here or a reason to apply those guidelines here. LauraHale (talk) 10:59, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I declined this in WP:AfC because it was brief, but going off WP:NTRACK indicated that notability was established by competing in the Paralympics. It did not occur to me that the term Olympics would exclude the Paralympics without it being made explicitly clear in context. I removed the PROD on the understanding of the WP:ATHLETE guide as it is written rather than with any knowledge of the discussions that led to the consensus described above. Under that logic Speed had passed WP:NTRACK even if he failed the WP:NOLYMPICS (which admittedly I hadn't checked because I thought he'd already passed WP:NTRACK) Rankersbo (talk) 11:44, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I don't claim to have any expertise on the question of notability, so I'm happy to leave the final say to others. However, there does seem to an issue here of whether Wikipedia's policies are being applied consistently. For example, there are articles on many similar Paralympians who have not won medals - e.g. Sam Harding, Jake Lappin, Sam McIntosh, Matthew Silcocks, Lindsay Sutton, Jack Swift, Brydee Moore, Torita Isaac, Erinn Walters and so on. My starting point is that there should be parity of treatment - either keep them all or delete them all. DanielDoyce (talk) 19:48, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @ DanielDoyce, As the primary writer of most of those articles, I think they would likely pass under WP:GNG. If you removed the APC, Athletics Australia, and ASC links, you would have at least 5 or more newspaper sources for each article. When writing about Paralympic athletes who do not clearly meet notability standards, I try to make sure they pass WP:GNG. If I pruned the article to only newspaper sources for Speed, what content would be left? Yes, I really, really, really wish the standards were the same for Paralympians as they were for Olympians, but they are not and you play the hand you are given. :/ WP:NSPORTS would be the place to advocate for a change in the guidelines regarding presumed notability. Good luck as I have been there, done that and been unsuccessful. If you think the articles you cited do not pass WP:GNG, please nominate them for deletion yourself. -- LauraHale (talk) 10:16, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- @ LauraHale, I think your issue is more about referencing than notability. In any event, I have now added more references so the answer to your question about how much content would be left is "most of it". DanielDoyce (talk) 12:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - @ DanielDoyce, No, they have to do with notability. IPC World Championships for Athletics do not count towards notability, nor does the mere fact that a person competed at the Paralympics count. Thus, for we are left WP:GNG. Before nominating this article for deletion, I searched Google News, Trove and Newsbank. (I have pretty good knowledge of and access to Australian sources as an Australian sport related PhD student.) I also checked the archives for the Canberra Times, The West Australian and the Sydney Morning Herald. I found no sources that would not be considered routine. For me, GNG/notability requires generally at least 5 to 10 newspaper sources of which one generally provides extensive coverage. Your sources: "Ja, Cystal. "Aussie Paralympic athletics squad named". The Age, i July 2008." This is routine and provides few details about Speed. I cannot access the following source but it does not appear to be completely about speed: " "A guiding light at Beijing Bird's Nest". Australian Jewish News, 12 September 2008." This leaves ""Exceeding the Speed limit". Melbourne Weekly Eastern, September 2007, p12." a regional weekly newspaper as the only source fully about Speed. Then two routine references. He does not appear to pass WP:GNG. Compare the coverage in this article to the articles you cited. -- LauraHale (talk) 13:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am the AfC reviewer who accepted the article. From what I now see, it looks like this was an honest mistake. Mr. Speed's best claim to notability, unless I am very much mistaken, is his participation in the Paralympics. Per WP:NOLYMPICS,

Athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the Summer or Winter Olympic 
games or have won a medal at the Paralympic Games; e.g. Ian Thorpe or Laurentia Tan.

By my reading, this is written to explicitly exclude paralympian non-medalists who do not meet any other guidelines. Mr Speed clearly fails the WP:GNG. The only other plausible inclusion criteria is WP:NTRACK. I have not seen evidence that he passes any of them (although this was where my error in the initial review occurred). I am left with the conclusion that unless more evidence can be found, Mr. Speed is not notable under current policy. Of course, we can change the policy, which is a separate discussion.

Keep. The current guidelines for WP:NSPORTS are frankly ridiculous and contradictory. WP:NCURLING says a competitor is presumed notable if he or she has participated in the Paralympics. Why single out curling? If it's good for curling, it must be good for athletics as well. St Anselm (talk) 01:13, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment do we want to place this AfD on hold, and start a discussion over at wikipedia talk:Notability (sports) in order to hammer out what the notability guidelines should be before we start deleting articles based on those notability guidelines? Tazerdadog (talk) 03:07, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would favor that, but the last time that discussion was had, it came down to "Athletes with disabilities are just not as inherently notable." They want to make the guidelines have few caveats, not more. Beyond that, while a 2012 Paralympian might be inherently notable, a prior generation Paralympian is unlikely to be so even with a medal. The question then comes down : does the project inherently desire these types of articles? (I would favour yes but I am not going to try to force my view against consensus, which NSPORTS has not been inclined to give.) --LauraHale (talk) 09:24, 4 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article has reliable sources and it fully complies Wikipedia's requirements for company notability, which says that the company must be "the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself or listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications." The company has been featured in a case study originally published by Ivey Publishing (from The Ivey Business School) in 2008 and later by Harvard Business Review. Also its Managing Director was featured in an interview published in CIOL.com about his experience in managing the company. The company has also been listed in three industry rankings. In two occasions (2008 and 2011) as one of India's Top ITeS and BPO Companies published by Dun & Bradstreet (a major business information corporation). Also it was ranked once among the top 10 most promising Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) organizations in India by Silicon India, one of the most important IT media in India. So the company has independent publications for both requirements. All the sources mentioned above are included as references in the article. Any feedback to improve the article is welcome.

Objection. Please see Wikipedia's significant-coverage and independent-sources guidelines. (They're summarized at WP:42.) I haven't paid to buy a copy of the case study; it could easily be a reasonable source. But an interview might easily not be considered "independent". Also, rankings don't always help to prove notability; we want to see enough actual paragraphs of text describing Invensys, not entries in a ranking table. I know it's frustrating; but, instead of trying to force your company into Wikipedia, you should spend your time on providing useful products and services, and growing your company, until someone unaffiliated decides to write a Wikipedia article about the company.

~~Keep~~ The game has some popularity as an app (which in itself does not, of course, support its notability).

Delete. I looked at this before and I can still only find the one in-depth source (ISG, not WP:VG/RS but seems reliable). It's a bit uncommon that top games don't get covered, but not unheard of. There simply isn't enough material and references to write a proper article; one review and mentions in a top game lists are not enough. Bottomline is that this fails the WP:GNG by not having multiple reliable in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. Other mobile game sites such as [30]http://www.myiphonebestapps.com/content/bike-race-free-review][31][32][33][34] etc. are all not reliable. I admit there are many, but it's simply that they grab all the top games to "review". This is just one of the many cases where being popular does not equal notable at this time. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 13:25, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
