Lack of verifiable independent evidence of notability.
The article fails Wikipedia's policy of not being a means of promotion. The article subject fails the basic criteria for notability of a sportsperson. Although athletes from any sport are presumed notable if they have competed at the Summer or Winter Olympic games, the article subject is not listed as part of the U.S. Olympic Snowboarding team for 1998, despite suggestions to the contrary in the article. - ʈucoxn\^talk 23:46, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Blatant promotion. Grammarxxx ^{(What'd I do this time?)} 00:01, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I feel it's more badly written than a promotion (90% is just a list) but, it is impossible to expand and even google can't find sources. (and if google can't find it most likely no one can) HereFord 00:28, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, looks like a hoax, snowboarding became an Olympic sport in 1998, not in 1988.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps. Snowboarding does not seem to be one of the sports of the 1988 Winter Olympics, even as a demonstration sport. Indeed, snowboarding competitions have happened at the Winter Olympic Games only since the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. - ʈucoxn\^talk 20:39, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - As failing verifiability. Although the lede calls her a snowboarder, it references her winning freestyle which is a skiing discipline. The Calgary Olympics did include freestyle as demonstration sports. However, I can find no record of her at FIS-SKI.com which is the governing body for these sports. If these compeition wins can be backed up with sources, then I would be persuaded to keep this article. -- Whpq (talk) 18:04, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unverifiable and, per Whpq, presumably wrong. Huon (talk) 18:21, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I've reviewed the pro career section a little more carefully and decided it doesn't make lick of sense. It makes the claim that she won the inaugural freestyle world cup in 1986 in Park City, Utah. Freestyle is actually the overal term for a set of ski disciplines. There is no actual freestyle discipline to win although the article might have meant the combined. But in any case, the freestyle started before 1986, and there was no World Cup held anywhere in Utah during the 1986 season. There is also a claim to winning the Giant Slalom World Championships in 1986. A freestyle skier competing in an Alpine discipline is quite unusual. Even more unusual is winning a World Championship in a year in which one was not held. Continuing with her success at winning in World Championships that don't exist, she won the 1987 Freestyle World Championships in Vancouver which I would imagine occurred between the two real World Championships held in 1986 and 1989. The only explanation is either this all a hoax, or these World Cups and Championships are not FIS events in which case nobody has taken any notice of them and as such are extremely non-notable competitions. -- Whpq (talk) 18:49, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of hammered dulcimer builders[edit]

Flights With Friends[edit]

This article about a website appears to be non-notable in reliable sources to indicate significant coverage. I did, however, find a fairly reliable source, see here but that's not enough; most other sources are self-published. TBrandley ^{(what's up)} 20:38, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Amir Eden[edit]

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

Subject's full name:(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Subject's birth name:(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable person. Eden's accomplishments amount to:

taking part in the "Events Academy 2011", a summer seminar organized by the Better Bankside business improvement district;
producing a film as part of that seminar that won an award in a Panasonic film competition (hardly a major filmmaking award);
being named as "director" of Justice International, a charity of little to no notability (see the AFD for that organization) founded by Eden's father.

None of these accomplishments rise to the level of notability for Wikipedia. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom -Drdisque (talk) 02:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article is still to be edited, with further references. The following I urge to be taken into consideration. 1) The Events Academy is a recognised youth programme within the borough of southwark in London; the programme is supported by high profile individuals such as Simon Hughes the MP and Alaistar Campbell former labour cabinet member. The programme is very much a respected accomplishment within that borough and south London. The programme is also supported by large companies such as IPC media and First Protocol. The event organised was a business networking event which accommodated such individuals and business's. The programme has even received a Mayor of London Award as noted on the Better Bankside website.

2)with regards to the short film it may have escaped the individual who made the comment ' hardly a major filmmaking award' . I would like you to consider the fact the film was screened during the Olympics at the live sites as mentioned on the Film Nation website, which would suggest it to be a notable accomplishment. Additionally the Filmnation competition and more specifically determiNATIONS was supported by Panasonic a well recognised company as well as the British Film Institute and high profile persons such as Claudia Winkleman, Eddie Marson, Matt Horne, Alfie Allen and Joe Dempsie. It would be disrespectful to suggest this is not an accomplishment.

3) Witth regards to his directorship of Justice International I would like you to consider that Justice International is respected in the legal world , recognised by the BAR of England and Wales and that of Egypt and south asian countries such as Bangladesh, With the latter supporting its cause. Thee organisation is also recognised and associated with several European governments such as Switzerland, whom the organisation collaborates with to hold discussions with countries of the arab continent and countries such as france and Norway regarding the crisis in the Middle East. The company is supported and associated with notable legal figures such as John Platts Mills QC, Sir Ivan Lawrence and many more. The company is also publicised internationally within many media formats.

Kind Regards WilsonWilson1 (talk) 11:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment With regard to the arguments presented above:
1. Whether or not the Events Academy is a good or bad programme, with positive or negative reactions from the Bankside neighborhood that it serves, or the London community at large, and regardless of the notability of the people who support this programme, it is still a neighborhood improvement programme, and even if the programme is notable, that notability is not conferred automatically on every one of the programme's participants.
2. Regarding the film determiNATIONS and its screening at Olympic events: this is not an inherent sign of notability. I'm sure the London Olympics committee was searching high and low for any local flavor to add to the venues to highlight London. I would venture to guess that many, many such projects were chosen for display around town -- this does not confer any level of notability to this film. As for support of the British Film Institute for what is essentially a student film, there does not appear to be any citation supporting this, nor can any mention be found of the film at the BFI website.
3. With regard to Justice International, the notability of that organization is also in doubt (and has been brought up for its own AFD). The fact that the JI in question (apparently operating under the name Justice International World, possibly to avoid confusion with the UK Registered Charity Justice International that appears, based on its registered trustees, to be a separate organization) was founded by Amir Eden's father makes Eden's own involvement in the organization less notable. And, even if JIW is deemed to be notable (i.e. if that AFD results in a keep decision), Eden's involvement in the organization is not verified by the organization's website, which does not list his name at all, anywhere. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:05, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

With regards the deletion of this article I would suggest that this is not appropriate. It is evident the article requires improvement however it seems there is no doubt wether the subject of the article is notable. WilsonWilson1 provides evidence of the respected accomplishments of Amir Eden.

DP87 (talk) 12:32, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It should be noted that between them, users DP87 and WilsonWilson1 are solely responsible for the content of the Justice International article. DP87's neutrality in this matter should be considered in this light. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 14:05, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The comment made above is false contributions to the Justice International article have been added by some who do not have an Wikipedia account.

With regards the Events Academy there seems to be some contradiction in WikiDan61's comments. The user suggests that the Events Academy is a neighbourhood improvement programme, which would not suggest it is not notable. There is no given description or identification of what degree of notability is acceptable for inclusion on Wikipedia. The user goes onto contradict his statement by suggesting that regardless of the notable associates and even if it is notable; which it would be due to the involvement of such notable figures. Furthermore the user suggests that this notability would not be conferred to participants of the programme. It can be argued that by association notability would be attributed to participants as a form of credit. WilsonWilson1 (talk) 16:44, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Wilson does not appear to have read or understood Wikipedia's notbality guidelines. The Events Academy, in order to be notable, would need to meet the criteria spelled out at WP:ORG. The fact that notable persons have supported the Events Academy does not make the Events Academy inherently notable. (See Wikipedia:Notability is not inherited.) Even if the Events Academy were notable based on Wikipedia's guidelines, participation in that Academy does not per se confer notability upon the participant. (Again, see Wikipedia:Notability is not inherited.) The University of Notre Dame is notable; but not every alumnus of that university is notable simply for having attended. Amir Eden must be demonstrated to be notable in his own right, by evidence of significant coverage in reliable sources. Until that evidence is provided, I stand by my nomination of this article for deletion. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:18, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Resignation of Pope Benedict XVI[edit]

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

This page as it stands is significantly overlapping with Pope_Benedict_XVI#Resignation. So why do we need a content fork for this? He's in his mid 80's and has some health problems, which are understandable reasons for him to abdicate. There is no controversy leading him to resign that would become notable in its own right. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I certainly can't defend the state of the article at present. But assuming that the resignation actually occurs on February 28 as planned, it will be a monumental historical event. It might even set a new precedent, where in the future popes will regularly resign if they become very feeble; in that case it will be a huge historical event. But if it's an anomoly, it remains notable as the only papal resignation in almost 600 years. Either way, it could very well be viewed centuries from now as the most notable decision made during this pontificate; the

last two popes who resigned are most famous for their resignations. — Lawrence King ^(talk) 20:08, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- I see some WP:CRYSTAL ball type assumptions in your argument, like that it might set a precedent. Just because one pope doesn't want to serve until his death doesn't mean the next one will also resign. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:31, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - There is no crystal ball required to say: either this will set a precedent or it won't. If it sets a precedent, it is notable because it will be a historic turning point. If it does not set a precedent, it is notable because it will be a rare anomaly. Either way, it's notable. No crystal ball needed. — Lawrence King ^(talk) 22:02, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is a historical event, the first pope in 600 years to resign. Sounds like a pretty big deal to me. The actual resignation isn't until the 28 so for now, it probably won't be in the best of shape, but once it happens, there will be more information available. Why don't we just nominate Resignation of Richard Nixon for deletion too. — Dpm12 -- 12:21 PM PST 11 February 2013.
- There is no article at Resignation of Richard Nixon, just a redirect to Richard Nixon#Resignation. So, thanks for proving my point. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:30, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes there is an article on Nixon's resignation. It's called Watergate scandal. If Pope Benedict's retirement eventually is given a special name, this article can be renamed. — Lawrence King ^(talk) 22:04, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There is no question that the announced resignation has been noted in reliable sources (lots of 'em), and thus is likely to meet the requirements of the WP:GNG. If the content at Pope_Benedict_XVI#Resignation is superior to this content, then merge it here or, after discussion, redirect this back to there, as with the Nixon example above. It's been how many hours since the announcement? Better to discuss it without the threat of deletion, where you might actually get some consensus, rather than the stricter up or down vote you're gonna find here at AFD.

Keep There is tonnes of coverage of this, and it is notable. His resignation sets a precedent as the first pope to resign in modern times. I suspect that there will also be lots of speculation/conspiracy theories about this which would be better off here, rather than in the Popes own article. wrt Nixon, there is an article on the Watergate scandal, which led to his resignation.Martin451 (talk) 21:20, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ...Here we go again, another editor not understanding the significance of an event, see WP:EVENT
Keep It is a rare event which warrants its own page. Considering the Benedict XVI article alone is 176k then a separate article on his resignation would be a prudent course of action. Stevo1000 (talk) 22:21, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. This is an extremely rare event that will attract a lot of coverage. The last pope to resign was Gregory XII in 1415. ComputerJA (talk) 22:33, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For the reasons already stated. Also, the answer to the content fork issue is to trim down what is at Pope Benedict XVI once the immediate crush of editing trails off. For instance, there is no good reason why an article the length of Benedicts's should include the full seven-paragraph resignation letter. -Rrius (talk) 22:51, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep For the reasons already stated, plus the event has sufficient ancilliary detail to justify an article in its own right. The initial announcement was a scoop by a correspondent in another room who spoke latin, the resignation raises the possibility of a pope and an ex-pope alive at the same time (!), there is also the question of whether his immunity from prosecution in his capacity as head of state of the Vatican carries over after his resignation or lays him open to prosecution abroad (cf Pinochet). Sources are already examining these issues and the article can be expanded to be a rather neat standalone article. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 23:17, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Extremely notable event because he is the first pope to resign since the 15th Century. Also in terms of significance this is on a par with the Abdication of Edward VIII, though for different reasons. What is important here is that both are/were heads of state who resigned from an office that is usually a lifelong responsibility, and are therefore historical events in the timeline of their respective countries.

List of artists with tracks not on Spotify[edit]

Keep This is not "listcruft" or trivial. It's interesting to know which artists are resisting the Spotify movement. We looked for such a list extensively on google and miserably failed. Look at some examples of incomplete lists:

Because you'd find it hard to find references. Fewer people would be interested in that list. The list would contain billions of people, rather than the select group of people that have chosen to have their content removed because they or their record labels are opposed to the concept. Start typing "List of artists not on" in google and you'll see it complete, indicating that many people are interested in the same thing.

Comment If notability is not established for this list (WP:LISTN), then per WP:BEFORE it's an obvious merge candidate to Spotify. Therefore, I'm surprised at the number of delete votes. If the subject has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources then a page move could be considered to something like List of artists choosing not to be included on Spotify (more concise title needed). In order to sensibly evaluate the merits of this list, IMHO it would benefit from clearly stating its critera, e.g. improving in accordance with WP:STANDALONE. The content may be of encyclopedic value, e.g. if artists are reported in reliable sources about choosing not to list on Spotify and then subsequently changing their mind or vice versa. The table could then include extra columns to record dates. (This is possibly something for fuller consideration/editing time upon the close of a merge/no consensus/keep outcome.) Also, I note that The Pansentient League is a WP:BLOG and therefore further sources are required. Finally, it might have been wiser to proceed with the AfC submission, rather than copying straight to main namespace. -- Trevj (talk) 11:50, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as a notable character that can especially be explored in-depth. There will certainly be overlap of the film and of this character, but I think there is potential to explore the character in a way that would overwhelm the film article. In a way, this character article can be a sub-article of the film article, which would have a summary as part of its general coverage. This book, The Hispanic Image in Hollywood, has a chapter called, "The making of Tony Montana: Phenotypes, violence and fetishism". and both Google Books and Google Scholar seem to show different results explicitly defining the character and breaking it down.

"Speedy keep" is not applicable here per WP:SK. In addition, calling the nominator "willfully ignorant" is not assuming good faith. The argument here is whether or not the character can be covered in a way that cannot be done in the film article. Each case will differ, and this character is a bit different from others in not having repeat appearances (unlike Indiana Jones or Harry Callahan, for example). Your listed sources help, though.

No, WP:SNOW can apply here. I just mean that "speedy keep" is not applicable based on the applicability criteria listed at the guideline. WP:SK#NOT explains the difference regarding WP:SNOW. It's an appropriate argument for deletion (in terms of how much overlap there is), but the consensus (so far) is that we should keep it as a distinct article anyway.

I meant both probably. SNOW could apply due to the unanimous vote/easy proof of notability. But also I meant the speedy. While I do WP:AGF of the nominator, I think 2a and 2e are theoretically applicable. (Although I admit those are both written in a way which does not allow for AGF). At a minimum, this nomination does not comply with WP:BEFORE, as there is no indication that either C or D were attempted or considered. (Especially since it was so easy to find sources). However, I will admit that MBSanz nomination was based on the thought that the character is inseparable from the movie, and not on notability etc. In any case, I'm fine if the general opinion is that my snow/speedy~vote being not applicable. Such differences of opinion are the meat of wikipedia, and it will not affect the outcome in any case. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:40, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, to be fair... a sourced mention about a planned film was there when I commented above.

274th Forward Surgical Team (Airborne)[edit]

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

Non-notable military unit. This small unit (about 20 members) does not meet the notability criteria for military units or the general notability guidelines. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 15:45, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This unit does not meet the basic list of intrinsically notable military units, and the sources cited don't seem to support a claim that this particular unit is of unusual significance. I think this is simply a result of a misunderstanding of the needs of an encyclopedia; there is no disparagement of the unit or its leader in saying that this is not a subject that the encyclopedia needs an article about, unless I have misread either the article's sources or the notability criteria. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:09, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I've found a few sources for the unit's activities,[4][5] but it's not enough to justify an article. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:15, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As per WP:MILUNIT, which I quote: presumption of notability for a military unit or formation depends wholly on the existence of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I believe that this unit has received significantly more coverage that might be routinely awarded to, say, the 626th Brigade Support Battalion, which is a largely unknown component of the 101st Airborne. This is a partial listing of the mentions I found in Google Books:

On Point: The United States Army In Operation Iraqi Freedom [6]
Roberts Ridge: A Story of Courage and Sacrifice on Takur Ghar Mountain [7]
The United States and South Asia: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific of the Committee on International Relations, House of Representatives, One Hundred Ninth Congress, First Session, June 14, 2005 [8]
None Braver: U.S. Air Force Pararescuemen in the War on Terrorism [9]
CCT-The Eye of the Storm [10]
The Night Stalkers [11]
Shadow Warriors: A History of the US Army Rangers [12]
Not A Good Day To Die: The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda [13]

While most of these references refer to the Battle of Takur Ghar, I think it's undeniable that the amount of coverage and mentions received by the unit are enough to establish basic notability at least. And while a single one of those books might not represent significant coverage, I think the combined effect is certainly one of notability. No one mentions the cooks and clerks batallions in the context of major military operations. An additional factor in notability, although not immediately apparent, is the fact that the 274th is one of a few support units that deploy to theaters of operations independently of larger division- or corps-sized forces. This is not common within the US Army.

Additionally, and as it has been pointed out by the author in the article talk page, the combined experiences of the unit were the basis for an academic paper published in PubMed by its surgical team. This type of post-conflict analysis is oftentimes what shapes how a large military force like the US Army structure, train and deploy combat support units. Clearly this particular outfit is part of what is shaping up to be the "new battlefield", or low-intensity conflicts that military forces of sovereign nations will encounter more and more in the future. Not to sound overly dramatic with that, but I do believe that this unit not only meets WP:GNG, but that its article is a valuable part of Wikipedia's coverage of military topics. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 23:27, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The books FRF cites are all trivial mentions in passing about the 274th. None of them constitute significant coverage. The medical journal article merely documents data collected by a battle unit during one period of about 18 months in action. This single article does not seem sufficient to establish independent notability of this unit. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 04:09, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per FreeRangeFrog. Command and Conquer Expert! ^{speak to me...}_{review me...} 01:31, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Here's how it works:

Staff Sergeant Freddy Jones finds out his next assignment will be as a squad leader with C Company, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry at Ft. Riley, Kansas. He wants information about his unit: where they are, what they've done, where they've been in the War on Terror, have they seen any significant action in the past, does the unit have any Unit Awards (which he'll need to procure for his uniform)? That kind of stuff. Where does SSG Jones turn? Wikipedia, because there is a wiki page for everything. Now, when he searched for C Company, 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry, he'll find the page for the 18th Infantry Regiment that includes all three Battalions (1st, 2nd, and 3rd.) This will give him the information he needs because the Higher Unit (the Regiment and the Brigade to which his battalion is currently assigned) has the same function as the unit to which he's being assigned (they are all infantry units). The mission of the 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry will be very similar, if not exactly the same, as the mission of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (its higher unit). These units will, as a rule, deploy and fight as a Brigade Element, meaning that whatever action the 2BCT saw, the 18th Infantry saw, and whatever awards the 2BCT earned, the 18th Infantry earned. Because of this, rolling the 1-18IN into the 2BCT page makes perfect sense and gives SSG Jones the information he's looking for.

This, however, is not the case for Forward Surgical Teams. As currently arranged, the Forward Surgical Teams of the US Army are assigned as Direct Reporting Units to a Combat Support Hospital, but these two units have different functions. The Forward Surgical Teams do not deploy with, live with, or work for the Combat Support Hospitals. They are not co-located in the same area of operation (or even the same war as has been the case multiple times with the 28th CSH and the assigned FSTs). The role of the Combat Support Hospital is so drastically different than the role of a Forward Surgical Team that rolling the FST up into the page of the higher unit CSH will not give any pertinent information as to what the FST mission is, where they are in theater, who they have worked with, where they've been, what action they've seen, and what awards they've earned (all information a military history enthusiast, or a future member of the team and his/her family would want to know).

These Forward Surgical Teams act independently of their assigned higher headquarters, are constantly being deployed across the world, and are routinely part of significant action. Their notable achievements are numerous and are not the same as the achievements of any higher element. Physicians assigned to these units have written about their experiences in peer-reviewed publications and based on their experiences and lessons learned in the Forward Surgical Team setting, the standards of patient care have evolved over the the duration of the conflicts in which they've been involved. Because of this, the Forward Surgical Teams should have their own pages, unlike the Company and Battalion sized elements of a maneuver unit such as an infantry or armor brigade.

Setting a "size limit" for "notability" makes sense only if subordinate units have the same purpose or mission as their higher command. By following these guidelines, you will lose a vital portion of military history that will not adequately be covered on any other page. ArmyOrtho (talk) 09:08, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As for the "notability" of this unit, I can see both arguments. There are no books written directly about the FST. There are no Medal of Honor recipients from FSTs. However, they are pushed far forward, into the fight, and while their mentions in the cited books may seem trivial to some, their impact has not been. I will be the first to agree that the US Army Forward Surgical Teams don't measure up to the notoriety of SEAL Team 6, but that doesn't mean they are lost into oblivion. I've heard it for as long as learned what an FST is - "It's not on wikipedia. How is that possible?!" The stories behind these units are impressive. Their numerous deployments and operations that they've been in are noteworthy. But, these aren't the types of units to get chapters written about them. They are often references in passing as the docs that saved SGT So-and-so's life, or saved a hand, or a leg, and then the reference moves on more to what sells the books - the fight. Is that significant? Perhaps it would be to the person reading the book. The peer reviewed data that has come from the experiences in these units have, without question, revolutionized the way critically injured patients are cared for. The articles that come from theater are numerous. However, these articles tend to be written by multiple authors and after-the-fact, combining several peoples' experiences into one coherent product. The actual unit may or may not be mentioned. All wikipedia has now is a generic Forward surgical teams post that explains none of this. Expansion of this post would leave out the rich history of the units themselves and the details of the individual FSTs people would look for (where they are, what they've done, where they've been).

That's an expanded version of WP:ITSUSEFUL, which is generally considered irrelevant in deletion discussions. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:37, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't think too highly of the sources listed by FRF (note that the best two, the CCT-Eye of the Storm and Shadow Warriors sources, are actually both direct copies of the DoD's Executive Report on Takur Ghar), however in combination with the Peoples and Gerlinger paper I think there's enough to warrnt an article. This (full version at Highbeam) contains quite a bit of relevant info (first medical unit in Iraq, details of their movements and assignments). Whilst I'd agree that this unit is on the outskirts of Wikipedia notability, I think it still falls within the encyclopedia's environs. Yunshui 雲‍水 11:37, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(apologies, you caught me mid-edit. ArmyOrtho (talk) 11:41, 12 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Comment The "this" referred to by Yunshui is a local paper spotlighting one of their own and his experiences in theater. The fact that his unit happened to be the 274th is merely an aside: the article appears to be about the soldier, not his unit. (Disclaimer: I have only been able to read the free preview as I have not paid to access the full article.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 13:43, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Without posting the full article text, I can summarise by saying that yes, its primary topic is Sgt. Jones experiences, but it confirms that the 274th were the first medical unit to enter Iraq, describes briefly their set up of a field hospital on the first day, verifies that the unit received a medal for valour, verifies that they operated at locations in Nasiriyah, Mosul and Baghdad, gives an approximate date for their return and tells us that their primary station is Fort Bragg. That's only the sentences that specifically reference the unit; one could feasibly extrapolate further details of the mission from the more extensive coverage of Sgt. Jones (and yeah I know, WP:NOTINHERITED, yada yada yada...) Yunshui 雲‍水 19:09, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Listed and cited on the article page are 7 articles pulled from Peer-Reviewed medical publications describing the experiences of the 274th Forward Surgical Team members during their multiple deployments overseas. These articles range from simple topics such as a unique way to warm intravenous fluids in a uniquely austere environment to several complete reviews of the of the entire deployment experiences of the teams of surgeons that staffed the unit. I would humbly recommend actually reading these articles before dismissing their validity outright. ArmyOrtho (talk) 17:34, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment To address WikiDan61's (valid) concerns, I'm not trying to make the case that the book sources I mention above represent significant coverage, because individually they don't. I said as much in my initial !vote. And yes, they mostly refer to the same event. I also said as much. My argument is that in the aggregate, what coverage does exist serves to establish a level of notability well above the average military support unit, which I believe is enough to pass WP:MILUNIT. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:01, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, organization meets criteria #3 of WP:MILUNIT. There are multiple mentions in non-primary, which could be argued to meet WP:SIGCOV when taken in total. At worse this article could be upmerged into a parent article, but it is my humble opinion, that by meeting criteria #3, the unit is notable.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:13, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Upmerge~~ to Forward surgical teams until the peer-reviewed references cited have been wound into the text of the article. Right now they're just a list of citations at the bottom of the article. They don't help anyone except to total points in deletion discussions. Would argue that until the article is rewritten in a properly encyclopedic fashion, incorporating this material into well written prose, it really doesn't remain of use to properly meet the spirit of MILUNIT.

You do not appear to understand what I meant. Please wind the material into the History section - it's part of the history of the unit. Nobody is likely to find it down there. Buckshot06 (talk) 04:52, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable. GeorgeLouis (talk) 15:18, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article requires a fair amount of work to draw this out, but Chisholm's notability derives mainly from being the founder and public face of BlueOregon, someone whose political views are frequently sought out by numerous statewide and national publications. The best sources in the article are unfortunately behind a paywall which will make it a little difficult to draw this out more clearly. I hope somebody takes the time to do so, it would be a shame to delete this article, but it does require a bit of improvement for the notability to be more visible in the article. -Pete (talk) 17:16, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Update: I expanded the lead section, reorganized the sections a bit, and fixed a few bare URL citations.

Comment Hey everyone, Kari here. I'll leave the notability discussion to all of you.

Comment I'm inclined toward Keep, but rewrite. The three sources provided, two of them which are arguably reliable, all point to Mangsuk as being a ritual altar and perhaps also the name of the ritual itself in Nepal, rather than a God. The dissertation supports that idea. All of which points to poor english rather than hoax. First Light (talk) 19:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's poor writing. Hardman 2000, as cited in the very first revision of the article, checks out. A mangsuk is a household shrine to ancestors (Hardman 2000, p. 142–145). The book that FunnyPika pointed to above is in fact a chapter that is also written by Charlotte E. Hardman, who is a lecturer in religion at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne. You can verify that Hardman is talking about a household shrine even without reading Hardman. Her work is cited by others. ISBN 9789004120631, p. 693, states that "Hardman describes […] the rôle of the mangsuk or household shrine in Lohorung ritual observances,". Uncle G (talk) 23:46, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. So now we know that this is a shrine rather than a god. That still doesn't make it notable per WP:GNG, and we can't really have an article consisting only of "A mangsuk is a household shrine in the religion of the Lohorung people." We'd need more information about it (and the rituals it's used for). If the article Lohorung people ever gets a section about religion, it might be mentioned there. Sandstein 20:13, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't we have an article saying "A mangsuk is a household shrine in the religion of the Lohorung people"? Surely having such an article better serves a reader looking this up in an encyclopedia than leaving it as a red link? And surely it is more likely that more information will be provided about the topic if we have such a stub than if we don't? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:59, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, because (a) one-sentence articles look silly, (b) we are not a dictionary, and (c) WP:GNG: if there is not more material in reliable sources about this topic than this definition, it's not notable. Sandstein 21:35, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"One-sentence articles look silly" must be the most ridiculous reason for deletion that I've seen. Wikipedia exists to provide information to readers, and one sentence is more information than no sentences. And Uncle G has already shown above that the Hardman book has several pages of coverage that can be used to expand the article. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:05, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing to state that an event must be on the same level as the Olympic Games, as apart from the Football World Cup there is nothing in the world on the same level. It states a "major international amateur or professional competition", IMO the Commenwealth Games is a major international competition. Also you can't have a hack at someone for winning a medal by only beating one person. You can only compete against what is put in front of you. There is a long history in competitions as high as the Olympics of teams or people winning medals by just turning up as there were only three entries. FruitMonkey (talk) 19:00, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NSPORTS says "1.have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics." The Commonwealth games are not the highest level nor does he meet the notability criteria for his sport (which is the seoond of the two criteria). Winning one bout doesn't seem notable (perhaps WP:ONEEVENT?).

Note: I have already voted above, but what I believe this discussion has brought to light is the vagueness of the term 'major international competition'. I too agree that this fighter does not meet notabilty as a professional boxer, I only create the article as I presumed that the Commonwealth Games were a certified 'major international competition'. Even if this page is keep or delete, the same argument will resurface on a hundred other delete articles.

I don't see ambiguity. The guidleines clearly say "at the highest level". I see only 2 things that would meet that criteria--the Olympics and world championships.

~~Keep~~ Weak keep - the article makes clear Braithwaite fought two fights, coming out of the Commonwealth Games with a medal. WP:NSPORTS is quite clear that the Commonwealth Games is considered a major international competition - I don't see why boxers should be treated any differently. My only caveat is that the article suggests there may not have been a strong field in his weight category. He's still making it into the newspapers in his 70's, thereby probably meeting WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 04:35, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I said he won 1 fight, he lost in the semifinals. If every boxer who became a trainer was considered notable we'd have thousands of articles just on them--a small article in a local paper is hardly unusual. Where does it say competing in the Commonwealth games automatically confers notability for boxers? Please show me how he meets WP:NSPORTS as a boxer. It's a simple request and it's all I need to change my vote. Papaursa (talk) 05:24, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The Commonwealth Games is a significant enough competition that winning a medal makes someone of encyclopedic interest. He also had a significant professional career, which would have been reported on in newspapers of the era. There are a few news stories on his fights in GNews, e.g. [14], [15], and one which mentions his coaching: [16]. Contrary to the nominator's statement, boxrec states that he only lost 11 of 27 professional fights. We shouldn't have standards for boxers that are more demanding by an order of magnitude than those we have for say footballers and cricketers. --Michig (talk) 07:38, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about his record. I suspect Mdtemp just looked at the fact that he'd won only 13 of his 27 fights. He certainly doesn't meet WP:NBOX or WP:NSPORTS. The fact that various martial arts might have stricter standards than other sports strikes me as irrelevant. I believe in using the existing criteria instead of creating my own. As for being mentioned in an article on one of the boxers he's training--that's a classic case of a passing mention. Papaursa (talk) 20:26, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It doesn't say that you have to win most of your fights to be considered notable. It also doesn't say that you have to win a medal at the Olympics to be considered notable. The Commonwealth Games are a MAJOR international competition. The Goodwill Games are also a MAJOR international competition. Just because it's not on the same level as the Olympics is irrelevant. There are many boxers who have a winning record that are not always notable. But the fact this guy won a medal at a major international competition is what makes him notable.

People keep making their own criteria--WP:NSPORTS doesn't say "major competition", it says "highest level", which the Commonwealth games are not. He also fails WP:NBOX and lacks the signficant coverage required to meet WP:GNG. Papaursa (talk) 19:58, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it does, WP:NSPORTS states that a person must have "participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics", you have placed your own interpretation of 'highest level' on this argument. You yourself state that there are only two events that reach this criteria, that of the 'Summer Olympics'? and the World Athletics. Well, this is your interpretation as the guidelines only mention the Olympics. Since when do the World Athletics enter this argument? They don't; by your own interpretation the World Athletics are not notable (because they are not mentioned in WP:NSPORTS). But you believe that high-'est' has wiggle room as you believe that more than one event can be at the top of the tree. High-est is two events, Olympics and World Athletics. ...but the World Athletics is only of interest to athletes, what about the swimmers, power lifters, wrestlers, sailors, table tennis stars, disabled athletes, martial artists, etc. World Athletics means nothing to them. The phrase 'such as' was placed in the argument to include other events, not just your interpretation of what those games should be (personally I would add to the Commonwealth the Paralympics, European, Goodwill and Asian Games as major international events). FruitMonkey (talk) 23:51, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're misquoting what I wrote--please read what I said, not what you want me to have said. I said "world championships"--I never used the term "world athletics". I would claim swimmers, wrestlers, etc. are athletes but they still need to compete at the highest level--you're trying to change the discussion. To claim he meets WP:NSPORTS, you're saying that the Commonwealth Games are the highest level. However, you say I'm wrong to claim that the world championships are the highest level. I would disagree on both counts. What level is higher than the world championships--the Intergalactic championships? So far not one of the keep votes has given a policy backed argument showing how he's a notable boxer and the logical extension of your aforementioned argument--that the Commonwealth games are of a higher level than the world championships is simply ludicrous. You continue to translate "highest level" as "any major international event" and those two things are clearly not the same. Papaursa (talk) 00:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Does the 'highest level' mean 'only one' organisation? To me, the CG, the Asian Games and others are top level. They are all supra-national. As the policy stands, for me this subject does comply. There may be clarification of 'highest level' needed in a revision to the policy, as to whether it only means the Olympics (the peak of the pile) or a wider group (similar to a percentile classification in an exam). Peridon (talk) 14:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the guidelines were put together with some thought and deliberation, so I believe that the word "highest" was not chosen randomly. Various continental championships may be at a high level, but they're clearly not the "highest". Besides the Olympics, I would include world championships of major organizations as being at "the highest level". Mdtemp (talk) 19:09, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looking through the history of WP:NSPORTS, it appears that the boxing section was only added in 2011 ([17]), with very little discussion beforehand, and changes since then have been made with little or no discussion, so I would suggest that the guidance there be taken with a large pinch of salt, and should not be given too much weight. 'The highest level' is generally taken as professional sport (we don't require footballers to have played in a World Cup Final) or the highest level of amateur sport where there is no professional version - boxing is slightly different to most as amateur boxing is almost a different form of the sport. Competing in international competition representing one's country is I think considered sufficient in all but the most obscure sports. --Michig (talk) 21:08, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So you're now claiming that anyone who competes in any international event in any sport is automatically notable. That clearly is of a different order of magnitude from pro boxing's requirement that a fighter rank in the world top 10 and is an extreme expansion of the concept that Olympic athletes are notable. I don't think previous discussions support your interpretation. Papaursa (talk) 04:23, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete There seems to be a clear split between those who read the guidelines literally and those, primarily from Commonwealth countries, that view even appearing at the Commonwealth games as notable.

If they have songs that chart later on, and sources that confirm this, then an article might be appropriate.

Tabitha (disambiguation)[edit]

No need for a separate disambiguation page where it is common and permissible to list names of persons sharing a given name on the page for the given name. bd2412 T 16:00, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Given name articles are separate from articles about other subjects with the same title. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 20:02, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There are no other subjects. Every single "Tabitha" listed on the page is a given name. Per MOS:DABNAME, "Articles only listing persons with a certain given name or surname, known as anthroponymy articles, are not disambiguation pages". Since there are no meanings for Tabitha other than as a given name, there is no reason to have a page like this one, that does not to conform to the standards of this encyclopedia. bd2412 T 20:48, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge any unique entries to Tabitha and delete. I couldn't find any guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Anthroponymy, but one of their few former featured articles, Yuan (surname), includes a list of people.

Comment There is an ambiguous TV series that I added to the dab when I removed all of the name holders who weren't referred to by the single name.

N. P. Rajendran[edit]

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

Contested PROD, where article creator noted on my talk page that he is a notable person in India. Article has not really shown how the subject fulfills WP:GNG. Subject appears to be of regional importance at best as the organisation he is chairman of apears to be a regional body in India. The only source provided is a primary one from the newspaper that the article subject is / was deputy editor of. I am sure this individual has done good work in their field, it is just that this field appears to be local and there is little wider reporting of his activities. At best I would suggest a redirect to Kerala Press Academy but there appears little other than a name that could be added to that article. Fenix down (talk) 17:00, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

N. P. Rajendran is a notable person in India. Kerala press academy is not a press agency where as it is government organization. Agreed he is the editor of the news agency from which one of the reference added. But also note the citation is news article form a reputed daily newspaper circulated. One more reference is there which is secondary source of reference. --atnair (talk) 17:09, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the argument seems to be suggested above that because the kerala press academy is a sort of school for journalists that was set up as a joint venture, one of whose partners is the keralan government that it is automatically notable and someone in an important position then they are notable too. I think this analysis is wrong on a number of counts - even a state school is not automatically notable whatever state it is in, reference to substantial independent sources is required - and in addition, notability is not inherited so if the kpc can be shown to be notable, notability needs to be separately established for this subject WP:NOTINHERITED.

Speedy delete This article was written by a spammy editor from a PR agency. I left a warning on her talk page. Rent Jungle the company this non-notable CEO founded, should also be deleted. I am a relatively new editor, so I don't know how to nominate an article for deletion, but I believe it is should be deleted as well. CitizenNeutral (talk) 05:12, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I've nominated it for a speedy deletion, but I'm not sure if there's just enough on the page to where he would fall just short of qualifying for speedying. That aside, I did a search and while the Biz Journal did fall all over themselves to report on him, one paper isn't enough to show notability. The Pittsburgh Magazine shot is good, but it's fairly brief to where some would argue that it's trivial in nature. It's not exactly like when Forbes or the WSJ write articles saying "here are 10-30 people that we think are awesome". PM isn't a nothing magazine, but I don't know that this is really enough to push notability for him over the edge. As far as Film Annex goes, I don't really think that this qualifies as a RS as it appears to be the type of site where you contact them to get them to post content about whatever you want to say. Here's their website's basic statment: "Mission Film Annex was founded with the idea to give filmmakers and artists a free platform for self-distribution, interaction, and funding." Not exactly something that screams "reliable source". As far as the website goes, it doesn't seem to be overwhelmingly notable either. There are the same Pittsburgh Journal entries, as well as a non-notable source from Multi-Housing News and a brief, almost trivial mention in the Harvard Business Review. If there were just a little more I'd suggest a merge and redirect, but neither this man nor his website are really all that notable as far as Wikipedia goes. He or it might be one day, but for now he's only received the barest of notice from the world at large.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:34, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete but not speedy. I declined it on the basis that there are after all sources, and AfD is the place to evaluate them. (I also declined a speedy on Rent Jungle, for the same reason. There seem to be better sources for it--a Harvard Business Review Case. We have often considered the subjects of such cases to be notable on the basis of that source, though I am not sure we always have. But it is indeed a typical PR tactic to try to make 2 articles even in cases of borderline notability. It's of course a very poor idea, and in practice is likely to end up with both of them deleted. It shows promotional intent, and although intent is not a formal criterion for deletion, we do in practice take it into account. I might have argued otherwise a few years ago, but the flood of PR has changed my view on this.

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and Wikipedia is not a manual. Contrary to Wikipedia:FICTION#What_Wikipedia_is_not, none of these pages offers any evidence of the real-world significance of the topics, and the pages amount to little more than a regurgitation of publisher's material.

Note that I have omitted from this nomination only one of the expansion sets: VTES 3rd Edition, which won an award. I have been unable to find any evidence that it meets WP:GNG -- it gets no hits on Google News -- but in view of the award, editors may wish to consider it as a separate case. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 04:08, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sergio Michel[edit]

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

Subject of the article continues to edit the page himself, adding details that aren't supported by the pages he is using as references. Page has been deleted multiple times already. original page creator has already been blocked from editing the page due to circumventing the original block of his other accounts. The wikipedia account belonging to Sergio Michel has already been blocked for tampering

Claims of being a prominent entertainer/Creative professional:

He has cited youtube videos to prove that he had a role in a TV show. However clips from the show illustrate that this was a minor and brief non-speaking role. I don't believe that a minor nonspeaking role in a TV show assert significance. I'd imagine that would open the flood gates for all actors who attain a small bit role in a film or tv show to publish a Wikipedia page about themselves based on an insignificant role. This does not comply with notability guidelines that demand that the subject have had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.

His references claiming to be a significant musical artist have been linking to a page which do not adhere to guidelines that assert that the subject have recordings that are not self published. The subject of the article's published works are not independent from himself.

His second assertion of being a well known and popular host for a Celebrity Boxing match isn't demonstrated by his cited articles. At best, his cited article indicates that he was hired to announce a single match that ended up never materializing (per his own cited reference). There is nothing in his referenced URL that substantiates that he was hired as a host on an ongoing basis.

Author of the article continues to revert my changes when I edit the article to reflect that fact. Wikibronx (talk) 02:03, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just to add to my assessment above, User:IAmVince continues to use "Sergio's Blog" as a reference of tv acting work. The imdb page for this lists this as a "9 episode TV series" that he appeared in. However this is not a TV series, rather it is his YouTube channel called Sergio's blog which contains precisely 9 videos. This is not a TV series, the imdb page is not a reliable source.. Wikibronx (talk) 21:54, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fortunately, Wiki allows for improvement, because the article is really poorly presented. However, let's look at the links again to reinforce the well written commentary above:

References 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 & 12 are YouTube/Telemundo (The Telemundo aspect is protrayed from YouTube) and not a reliable source for references. Reference 1 links to a .com site that links to Facebook, Twitter, etc and then references his own .com site (Sergio.Michel.com), has issue with WP:COI, and is not a reliable reference. Reference 3 is a commercial site and has problems with WP:COI as this is an advertising source and not a reliable reference. Reference 4 doesn't demonstrate much except his blog spot, is also a WP:COI concern, and isn't a reliable source. Reference 8 is about something that never happened, and can't be considered a reference as such. Reference 11 is simply a continuation of the YouTube line and is not a reliable reference. After addressing all that, there is nothing left to retain. Barada wha?

03:59, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete None of the references in the article seem to support inclusion under WP:GNG or WP:ENT at this point. User:Barada's analysis is spot on. Some research indicates this bio might be a case of WP:TOOSOON but as of right now I don't think he's there yet. The plethora of non-reliable sources and the usual behavioral pattern of trying to claw up past the notability threshold is usually a good indicator that the subject isn't there yet. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 17:39, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (disclosure: I've been involved in an administrative capacity with the article's creator and with the associated sockpuppet investigation). Whilst I've declined a CSD on an earlier version this article (under A7), I'm now fairly convinced that it should be removed: as Barada has succinctly established, there simply aren't sufficient reliable independent sources to support it. I've had a nose around for more, on the offchance that something more substantial was out there, but nothing's turned up. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ENT, needs to go.

Delete for now... per so very much wrong with an article created and expanded by inexperienced contributors it would be a mercy killing to WP:NUKEANDPAVE. Send them all to the "Primer for newcomers" to get a little CLUE. His works as an actor are minimal and fail WP:ENT. As writer/creator/producer'host of the non-notable series Sergio's Blog,[19] while an interesting method of self-promotion, has not itself received recognition and thus fails WP:CREATIVE. As other's have noted, there are very few reliable sources used to source this, but one article in the Hudson Reporter is decent enough and specifically deals with the subject directly and in detail.[20] SFL Music Magazine (page 29) did review his work Sorrowful Psalms: Uplifting 'Depressing' Music. If/when he gets more actual coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:GNG, or his works get the coverage to meet WP:MUSICBIO, we might consider a recreation of a properly formatted and properly sourced article.

~~Keep~~ Userfy. A few edits are still being made on the mentioned page to improve it.

Comment. This looks like a paper submitted to an academic course which was copied wholesale into Wikipedia without having been adapted to encyclopedia style. Maybe it is possible to adapt the paper into encyclopedic style, but, if so, it needs to be done. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Nominating this article 7 minutes after creation, 7 minutes after the article creator registered as an editor, is far too soon. Please don't bite the newcomers; it would have been preferable to tag the article or better yet, send the editor a message explaining the problem. That said, I agree with Metropolitan90 that the article needs to be converted to an encyclopedic tone and format. The other major challenge with this article is that there is already a highly developed article on Sociocultural evolution and indeed a whole category of articles on this topic at Category:Sociocultural evolution. Given the explicit comparison in the article of biological and cultural evolution, Sociobiology and evolutionary psychology would seem to be related at well. Are the topics in this article already covered in these other articles, and how does this article fit in the context of all the others? --Mark viking (talk) 04:31, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Thank you for your feedback. This is our first page and we are trying to learn the proper formatting and will try to adjust the tone and format if given the time. We have taken a look at the Sociocultural pages as well as pages on Observational Learning. The topics covered in this paper are unique as they focus on the importance of culture in human evolution. We do understand few of the topics on the page such as neolithic revolution have been covered and do plan on providing hyperlinks to such sources. These pages however do not discus the evolutionary importance and our focus is to expand upon that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Origins3F03 (talk • contribs) 05:28, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If you plan to edit this article significantly and want more time to do so, I suggest you request that the article be userfied -- that is, moved out of the main encyclopedia and into your userspace. You can then devote, basically, as much time as you need to improving the article before bringing it back to the main encyclopedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:06, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with userfying. This article does have potential, but it is way too narrow focusing on a few ideas and models in the literature. The article [Sociocultural evolution]] is not too good as it stands either. This is a difficult area to write an adequate article on. In this case, the emphasis on Nakahashi's, W. 2010 models seems odd, when, for example, Boyd R. & Richerson P.J. have published many more articles and books over the years. Right now it comes across as WP:POV and WP:OR, but I think it can be turned into an article. There are other approaches, which at least should be mentioned.--I am One of Many (talk) 00:17, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Article consists entirely of sports statistics. Wikipedia is not a sports almanac. Stifle (talk) 13:37, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed article for deletion is simply a mirror to National team appearances in the UEFA European Football Championship. While I understand that Wikipedia is not a sport almanac, statistics pages for well-established, highly prestigious competitions like these are common.

I am okay with deleting the proposed article IF AND ONLY IF equal treatment is given to similar articles (e.g. the men's EURO page linked already, National team appearances in the FIFA Women's World Cup, National team appearances in the FIFA World Cup, etc.) CyMoahk (talk) 16:05, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry, I should've said explicitly: my vote is to keep, unless similar articles are also deleted. CyMoahk (talk) 17:37, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, to address something: I think this article was identified because, at the time, it had only one article linking to it (the main article for the competition). While I haven't checked through every article in the "what links here" for the three other competitions I referenced above, I'm fairly certain that the only reason they have so many articles linking to them is that they appear in the templates for their respective competitions, something I didn't do when I first created the nominated article.

- Reply No one is arguing that the page is a fake. But we need reliable, independent sources discussing him, and so far, none have been furnished showing notability. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 22:34, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Reply There are thousands and thousands of websites and radio shows linking to his work. The website has over 7,000 pages linking to it according to Alexa. theintelhub.com is in the top TWENTY THOUSAND websites on the entire planet. I am gonna spend some time gathering all the source links in that regard and will update the original page. If you arent purposefully attacking him because of the content of his work then we will not have an issue because I do agree the page needs more source links. There are at least 20 people in the alternative media that have wiki pages whose websites are not in google news. Google News censors alternative media outlets regardless of their size. Also are you saying someone who reaches millions people a month cant have a wiki page if a mainstream news outlet owned by corporations hasnt written about him? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.222.221.194 (talk) 22:40, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, links and Alexa ratings are not sufficient to establish notability for inclusion in Wikipedia. The subject has to have been covered in a non-trivial fashion by reputable sources. There are many news organizations with editorial oversight which will gladly report on alternative media outlets. That is why, in the nomination, I mentioned several other vast news and information repositories, not just Google news. Please review WP:N, WP:RS and WP:BIO to gain a better understanding of these policies. - Mr X 22:55, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Ok no matter what anyone says here Shepard Ambellas has appeared on dozens of nationally syndicated radio shows, his website reaches over a million people per month. His PHOTOS have been picked up in the London Guardian. In these photos Shepards website is in the CAPTION and he is actually in the photos taking pictures of businessman entering a meeting in Chantilly Virgina. The Drudge Report also linked this information. On top of that multiple mainstream news outlets have cited his website when they were attacking conspiracy theorists. All this is more than enough to have a wiki page. Should I just take it upon myself to revamp the page and include ALL source links for everything I just mentioned? Please let me know instead of linking me to pages that arent specific in any way. I have followed theintelhub.com work for a long time and I am not going to let Shepards page get deleted when it is legit although it DOES need source links. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.222.221.194 (talk) 23:07, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but there's not an instant solution to fixing the article, if that is what you are trying to do. You would do well to read and understand the help tutorials, so that you understand what Wikipedia is about and how it works. Adding a bunch of links to the article will not help, because a link in itself is not necessarily a reliable source. A mere mention of the subject on another web site is not a reliable source. A caption in a photo is not a reliable source. The subject's own publications are not sufficient for establishing notability. I earnestly searched for this individual in thousands of publications and couldn't find him. I may have very well made a mistake in my search, but since you seem to be familiar with the subject, you should have no problem introducing some good sources into the article. - Mr X 23:48, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- - - REVIEW --

The article Shepard Ambellas just reached it's 30 day mark on Wikipedia. Criticism are vague as to Notability & Reliable Sources. Shepard Ambellas receives 48,900 results from doing a simple search. The original issues with the article are:

   * This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (January 2013)
   * This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2013)
   * This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (January 2013)
   * The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (January 2013)

Before allowing any correction or edits to address these issues, you have rapidly come along to delete the article.

   This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.

Objectively, without even allowing the suggested edits to be made it appears the Alternative Media nature of Shepard Ambellas is the actual target. Can you address why you have aggressively marked the article for deletion without even one concrete suggestion?

Follow my logic:

   This article may require copy editing for grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling. (January 2013)

Grammar, style, cohesion, tone, or spelling are simple to correct given time to do so.

   This article does not cite any references or sources. (January 2013)

The article has numerous citations / links to third-party sources although the formatting may not be correct. These corrections are slated to be made asap.

   This article appears to be written like an advertisement. (January 2013)

That is a somewhat personal interpretation and the language "appears" substantiates that fact. It either IS an advertizement or it IS NOT. This is a style issue and the article can be cleaned up as that is likely to be the intent of that criticism.

   The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (January 2013)

The Notability Guidelines criticism is where edit can be made to demonstrate that Shepard Ambellas as an article DOES meet the Notability Guidelines.

Taken in total, the issues seem to be primarily style and presenting links and formatting the article properly. Can you address the question asked as to the aggressive position that you've taken to mark "considered for deletion"?

This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Please share your thoughts on the matter at this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page. Feel free to edit the article, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed. For more information, particularly on merging or moving the article during the discussion, read the Guide to deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Excaliber12 (talk • contribs) 03:34, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why would this article be deleted? Looks perfectly fine to me, is this a censorship issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.234.45.234 (talk) 16:41, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- CommentThe only reason this can be deleted is lack of notability. All the arguments about the warning templates are moot. They don't apply to deletion. Being listed as a conspiracy related discussion is not making any comment that applies to this discussion; it is simply a clerical note that this discussion has been listed on a list with that title. It will most likely result in more editors that favor the inclusion of conspiracy related articles coming here. The lister was simply doing a clerical job and User:Excaliber12 jumped all over him, both here and on his talk page. FYI, EXcaliber, the only freedom of speech you have promised to you in the US Constitution is that the Government will make no law restricting your freedom of speech. Try working at Burger King and telling one of your customers they are a fat pig then come talk about your so-called freedom of speech. This entire AfD is nothing but a bunch of wasted space. The only (absolutely only) on point arguments are the nom and the other delete vote. None of the rest of the ranting has made any point at all.

Delete - First off, the piece is highly over-flagged. Please don't do that. While the subject has a substantial internet presence, I'm not seeing anything in the way of independently published biography or reporting on the reporter. This is often times the case with journalists, so it's with some hesitance that I agree with the nominator and Cullen here. Carrite (talk) 03:21, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - agree with Carrite above. I can see a number of articles by the subject, but very few about the subject, which is what we need to meet the "significant coverage" criteria of WP:GNG. Being a prolific content creator, unfortunately, doesn't not make a person automatically notable for WP's purposes.

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that the Gambian League is not listed at WP:FPL. However, in the absence of reliable sources confirming the the league as fully pro, we cannot assume that it is.

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:50, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We cannot assume it isn't either since you're speaking from absence of any information. I started the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Fully professional leagues#GFA League First Division when I removed the PROD and it has not been followed-up. We must find some proof that it is or isn't a fully professional league before deciding whether to remove players from the league. Not to do so is dishonest.

Worst case scenario, if it is decided to delete, I would request that it be moved under my user space in case the player is capped for the Whitecaps, as is expected. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:57, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article indicates that Gambian first division clubs participate in the African Champions League which would be a solid indicator to me that it is likely fully-professional.

Participation in the CAF Champions League indicates nothing more than that the Gambian FA is a member of the CAF. Two leagues confirmed as not fully pro at WP:FPL had entrants in the 2012 Champions League. Sir Sputnik (talk) 18:02, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. The WP:BURDEN is on those wanting to keep the article to prove notability. GiantSnowman 11:45, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Not delete, but move to my user space if it fails.

Also burden is not about whether keeping or deleting an article, it's about references. Again, misusing policy is not appropriate. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:51, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's by no means abuse of policy. It may not be the letter of what is written in WP:BURDEN, but it is common sense that something as important to the encyclopedia as a claim to notability be supported by reliable sources. This is backed up by other policies as well. Notability requires verifiable evidence. Given that notability in the general is not met, notability is dependent on the subject having played in a fully pro league. In the absence of verifiable evidence that the Gambian league is fully pro, the requirements for notability are not met, ergo the article should be deleted. Sir Sputnik (talk) 20:48, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not worth arguing over. BURDEN doesn't comply with this situation though, COMMONSENSE may. However, it seems like pure laziness to say "it's not on some list" and not try to prove that it should or shouldn't be on the list. Again, not contesting that the nation's first division isn't on the list. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 21:25, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have scoured search engines for hours trying to find any information at all about wages and standard of living for players in the Gambian league and have been able to find almost nothing. However, on the website of Real de Banjul F.C., they provide an outline of their philosophy on the club as a business and their view of their players as professionals. Here it is if it will be of any use in the discussion on the topic. http://realdebanjul.gm/club-profile

Keep - Whether a league is on a Wikipedia-made list, or if a player has played 1 match or not if not the biggest deal.

Weak keep. There are clear reliable, third party sources. Whether these are substantial enough is questionable, but for a young player seems sufficient, at 18, how many interviews and articles would one expect. The discussion about whether the Gambian league is fully professional or not seems to me to be yet more weight to the arguemtn that the awful FPL essay at WP:FOOTY should be binned as fundamentally divisive and subjective whilst simultaneously being wholly irrelevant as GNG and NFOOTY are actual guidelines.

DJ Dextrous[edit]

Does not satisfy notability requirements.

The article has been subject to a request for additional citation since February 2012. It reads like it was written by a promoter. I'm not personally satisfied that the person meets notability requirements following a Google search. I can find no secondary sources that validate notability. It's worth mentioning that Dextrous does not appear to be signed to any of the major genre-specific labels. Nor does it appear he has performed to any significant audience.

I'm struggling to recognise the one, trivial source you've provided (it'd appear to be a small, independent radio station that probably doesn't warrant an article either) that as "multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician". Now the most important bit: I cannot see how this article satisfies points two through 12 at all. Matthew (talk) 09:11, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ and/or Clarification needed I'm a bit detached from the British music scene; the awards, nominations, and otherwise aren't real convincing from across the pond as listed here - maybe someone with a more British flavor could expound some. However, there is this in the article; "He released his first record in 1992, on Ruff Quality Recordings (the sister label of Shut Up and Dance Records) entitled "Ruffneck Biznizz" which topped the Kiss FM House Charts"... Now the labels aren't majors, important indies, etc, but KISS-FM is an Album Oriented Rock (AOR) radio station in the major, regional market of San Antonio, TX. I am wondering if the article writer meant KIIS-FM Los Angeles, CA which is a primarily pop formated station and would typically play something "House music" oriented. The inherent conflict here leaves me wondering as to which station they are attributing; KISS-FM as listed would not rotate a single like this nor would it have a "House music" chart. KIIS-FM would probably be more inclined to play it. Since it appears the stations are incorrectly attributed, they should be fixed, or the article ~~Deleted or Userified as misrepresentative until it can be correctly addressed.~~ Barada wha? 01:46, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It should, I believe, link to Kiss (radio station), a major national dance music station. The Ivor Novello and Bafta awards are major awards in the UK. --Michig (talk) 07:10, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
