Everything here is either related directly to Azaria Chamberlain, or is a reference to the case made in another work. Howicus (talk) 22:52, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, yes, that is a correct observation, but that is not what the page addresses. The phrases use and references to it are varied. Unfortunately for many other editors here on Wikipedia, they do not understand this hence the creation of the page. Did you notice my message on the Talk page? --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Why not just redirect to the article on the film? It seems to me that the creation of an "in popular culture" section for Evil Angels (film) would cover this subject better. Howicus (talk) 23:34, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong delete. This isn't a proper dab page, but rather a collection of trivia. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:46, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: One of the most absurd pages masquerading as a DAB page. Toddst1 (talk) 23:47, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
But you wonderfully make my point, that is what the confusion is based on. The misconception is that the quote comes from the movie, when it does not. Its kind of a "We don't need no stinking badges" in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre situation. The phrase has been misquoted and abused so often that's bled into Wikipedia.
For example, the fictitious band in the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer is called Dingoes Ate My Baby and there is actually a link to the Azaria Chamberlin article. Any time the phrase is used or misused, it creates more ambiguity. Via this list WP readers will see that it can refer to a variety of related topics or uses. Granted, this is a subtle distinction and I don't expect every editor to get it.
By the way, I'm not a big fan of "popular culture" sections in articles. They muddy up the subject and create an ongoing need to update an article based often on vague references rather than quality information. --Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 23:56, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily vague references - this happens, with or without a dedicated section, but I would support it being restricted to sourced references that are significant enough to be mentioned in other articles. If it becomes a problem, maybe add a hidden note for editors. Peter James (talk) 01:14, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The problem with a section in the film article is that the line did not originate with the film - the film is a dramatisation of the case and that line is effectively a summary of Lindy Chamberlain's defence in that case. The line is synonymous with Chamberlain's defence against murder charges - that Azaria Chamberlain was killed by dingoes. It's a notable phrase from a notable case which was turned into a notable film about a number of notable people. I think the disambig could do with an expanded lede, but I can't see any real logic in deleting it. Suggest something like,
"Dingoes ate my baby" was a phrase used by Lindy Chamberlain to summarise her legal defence against allegations she had murdered her daughter Azaria Chamberlain in 1980, suggesting instead that dingoes had killed the child. The phrase was made famous by the 1988 film Evil Angels based on author John Bryson's book of the same name. The phrase has since been used in unrelated popular culture, often in a satirical context.
Whether we need an article on the phrase itself is a different story. I think (given the number of times it has since been used out of context) non-Australian readers might conceivably google the phrase to ascertain its origins. Whether it is our job to explain it to them is probably what needs to be considered. Stalwart111 00:02, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually is was this...
"Dingoes took my baby" was a phrase used by Lindy Chamberlain to summarise her legal defence against allegations she had murdered her daughter Azaria Chamberlain in 1980, suggesting instead that dingoes had killed the child. The phrase is often misquoted substituting "ate" for "took" when the events leading the trial were made famous by the 1988 film Evil Angels based on Chamberlain's book of the same name. The paraphrased quote has since been used in unrelated popular culture, often in a satirical context.--Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 00:44, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I also paraphrased then. My point was about the need for a better lede explaining the background - the actual text is much of a muchness. Stalwart111 00:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep A well known phrase which has appeared throughout popular culture. Its good to have a place to explain it to people, and show how it spread. A dingo ate my baby should redirect here. Dream Focus 15:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this is a disambiguation page. A disambiguation page differentiates between three or more unrelated pages with the same name. All of the links here originate in one place, so it's not ambiguous. Howicus (talk) 17:07, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the links don't originate in once place. They relate to the same origin, but the phrase has since been misquoted and misused enough times that this origin has become ambiguous. Would it be better it if were just an article, versus a DAB page?--Scalhotrod - Just your average banjo playing, drag racing, cowboy... (talk) 18:05, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, the (disambiguation) part should be removed from the name. Dream Focus 18:17, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • There has been a dispute over where this title should lead to, and although the RFD resulted in it remaining redirected to the incident, search results suggest it's mainly used for the band, with the film and the incident as other likely topics. A separate article or disambiguation page seems unnecessary, and if the band was notable, it could be primary topic, but as it only has a section, not an article to itself and the incident article already has a Media and cultural impact section where the band can be mentioned maybe this should just be merged and redirected to the section of the incident article. Whatever the result of this AFD the "disambiguation" part of the name is unnecessary and should be removed. Peter James (talk) 00:34, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, replace with redirect to Death of Azaria Chamberlain. This is not a disambig page, so that's already one blow against it. While the phrase has entered the pop culture, that's pretty much all you can say, and the fact that the above Death of Azaria Chamberlain article has a section on "Media and cultural impact" is that all that is "new" on this page can easily fit with a few more sentences into the Death page. --MASEM (t) 01:20, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article consists of nothing but a recounting of the fight card. No sourced prose to demonstrate why the article should exisist. Entire article depends on 2 sources (one being the fighter's database entry). Article still relatively new therefore it would be reasonable to WP:USERFY the article and pass it through the WP:AfC process to get an independent view on it's reasonablness to be added to mainspace. Hasteur (talk) 22:49, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you say so. 2+2=5 PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 03:29, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
By your own reasoning 2+2+"Wait some time for someone to fill in details"=BlueMonkey. Even from this point the article still demonstrates a significantly below the threshold layer of article quality. You, as the article creator, should have known that the article wasn't appropriate for mainspace yet, yet you created the article anyway. Finally, if you're going to use my name in an edit summary, please have the respect to use it correctly... Hasteur (talk) 14:21, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Huh? He is presumed notable under WP:NMMA. He has 3 notable fights against 3 notable opponents. here is another ref to assert his presumed notability under WP:NMMA here. Remember the content can be trash as long as the person is notable. I added some prose asserting his notability. WP is not a bureaucracy. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 23:41, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Look again... No cited prose. Only a database listing. ERGO it should be deleted. Hasteur (talk) 01:52, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Clear Keep Passes WP:NMMA for his last 3 fights alone. Somebody created it and only put a couple sentences on it. When it was pointed out, we started working on it. It has enough information in it already to pass notability, and the article will be finished. Willdawg111 (talk) 00:32, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No... Notabilit is not the only reason. There were no sentences. I can read the history and see that it has been only 24 hours since this was created with no cited prose. Notability is not the only threshold. Please stop your deliberate and obstructionist activities to dilute the purpose of Wikipedia. Hasteur (talk) 01:52, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep until inline sourcing and prose is added. Luchuslu (talk) 02:13, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Until Drmies pointed it out I did not realize that there was already a article entitled Mike Corey that has existed for quite a while. I note that 2 MMA competitiors, born on the same day, in cities quite near to each other, that have substantially the same MMA record, that have fought the exact same opponents at the same events seems to stretch the reasonableness of this new article. I therefore propose that this article in question be blanked and redirected to Mike Corey. I've already nominated the nacent article under CSD:A10. Hasteur (talk) 16:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He was the subject of half of one sentence in the Records of the Three Kingdoms, vol. 58. (長子延早夭，次子抗襲爵。 -- meaning, "The oldest son [of Lu Xun], Lu Yan, died early; his second son, Lu Kang, inherited his title.") I highly doubt that there are additional sources that would give more information than that. I would say delete, as all the information we have on him is already incorporated into Lu Xun's and Lu Kang's articles. Nlu (talk) 22:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Though my view is different, there are many editors here who believe that any figure mentioned in any sense of significance, in ancient sources is assumed notable. (By the way, what's with the in-universe tag?) הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) (formerly R——bo) 23:33, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Presumably, whoever tagged it felt that it would not be understood easily by someone who didn't know much about the Three Kingdoms period. I should note, I think, the character yao (夭) suggests a childhood death, so I really think it is very unlikely that he did anything notable. --Nlu (talk) 23:55, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article claims this individual to be the crowned first Miss Turkey in 1925, yet the first Miss Turkey contest itself was actually held many years later in 1929 and was won by Feriha Tevfik (in fact, a common general knowledge quiz question here). The list of winners is publicly available on the official Miss Turkey website and many other places on the internet. The claims in the article about the individual itself seems to originate from a Hürriyet piece in 2010 (also used as a reference in the article) which had a mention of a "Araksi Cetinyan" and seems to have proliferated from that through Armenian sites on the internet since 2010. No other detail is present; whether this person even existed is doubtful. Maviyengeç (talk) 05:53, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The source says she was the first beauty pageant winner. Not the first Miss Turkey which started in 1929. I will change the information on the article to better reflect the source. Proudbolsahye (talk) 09:18, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep According to [1] (Hürriyet newspaper), Gazanfer İbar's article Unutulan Tescilli Güzeller (Forgotten Registered Beauties) was published in Atlas Tarih (its members of board of referees: Hıfzı Topuz, İlber Ortaylı, Ersin Alok, Ruhi Ayangil etc.. ). The website of Miss Globe International also mentions to Araksi Çetinyan (not C but Ç). According to Cumhuriyet (3 Sep. 1929) newspaper, Gazetemizin tertiplediği Türkiye Güzellik Kraliçesi seçimi dün yapıldı ve birinciliği Feriha Tevfik Hanım, ikinciliği Semine Hanım ve üçuncülüğü de Matmazel Araksi Çetiniyan Hanım kazandılar.

But this author wrote her surname as Çetiniyan. Takabeg (talk) 01:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Congratulations, you've shown that this individual is most likely a real person. But that still doesn't make her notable and the claims in the article are still for the most part unverified.

If she won the official and recognized 'Miss Turkey' national pageant and had a notable film career (like Feriha Tevfik), and that information was backed up by widely available multiple, credible sources, then she deserves an article . But simply participating in or winning any odd thing doesn't quite cut it. There are thousands of beauty pagaeants held all over the world, and usually all of them claim to be the definite one. Anyone can hold one anywhere. I could hold one in my basement and crown my daughter 'the most beautiful girl in the world' with the prize being a bar of chocolate :) I would also like to add that the real objective of this article isnt about providing information, but about promoting an ethnic nationalist-chauvanist agenda, judging by the parties pushing this. --Maviyengeç (talk) 03:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Response - I'm not sure calling other Wikipedians "national-chauvinists" is constructive or particularly helpful.

Comment I think we need to focus on the article itself as per WP:FOC and not on other editor's perceived shortcomings. Mabalu (talk) 22:38, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Mabalu, commenting on the sources is commenting on the article. I am referring to misuse of sources here. Some sources are only about the "first", as they state it, beauty pageant in Turkey which they report was in 1929, to begin with. (Ms Çetinyan came third in that contest.) So those sources do not support the "essence" of our article. On the other hand, one source says, with regard to the contest of May 3 (1925 or 1926? Any RS on the exact date?) it was disclosed that Ms Çetinyan was "favoured by the jury and her title was retrieved". BTW I believe "perceived shortcomings" of the concerned user are to be considered, if they have a pattern of "misunderstanding" the sources and repeatedly declaring "honest mistakes". I believe "sources" are very important in determining the notability of a subject; aren't they? --E4024 (talk) 23:10, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I provided extra information and sources (see Talk:Araksi Çetinyan#One more source falsification) Takabeg (talk) 23:18, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm concerned that there are issues between Wikipedians going on here which are affecting the discussion. References to "someone" making "honest mistakes" and accusations of "chauvinism" kind of imply that this isn't so much about the article as about point-scoring against other Wikipedians - which works both ways. Yes, comment on the sources but apparent side swipes at other editors while doing so doesn't really help the case. I am WP:assuming good faith on everyone's part, but also feel like the odd one out here in that I'm not particularly interested in Turkish/Armenian/wherever issues and to me, this article seems well sourced and dependent on a number of valid sources. I don't care why this article was created, I don't care why anyone thinks it was created, and I honestly don't want to be questioning the motivations of anyone involved - to me it seems that it now more than passes notability requirements, and that's enough for me. Mabalu (talk) 00:50, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Just as Mabalu says this is not a Turkish-Armenian issue (at least for me) because I see no difference among Turkish citizens regarding their ethnicity. This is about misuse of sources. The latest source provided above says, in Turkish:

1.1.Türkiye’de Güzellik Yarışmalarının Tarihi ve Türkiye’nin Modernleşme Sürecindeki Anlamı Günümüz dünyasının ilk güzellik yarışması Belçika’da Concours de Beaute adı altında 350 aday ile yapılmış 18 yaşındaki Bertha Soucaret ilk güzellik kraliçesi olmuştur. İlk resmi ve uluslararası yarışma 14 Ağustos 1908 tarihinde İngiltere Folkstone şehrinde, ilk “Dünya Güzellik Kraliçesi” yarışması ise 19 Nisan 1951 tarihinde Londra Festivali kapsamında düzenlenmiştir. Türkiye'deki ilk güzellik yarışması 1926 yılında İpek Film önderliğinde Melek Sinemasında (Bugünkü Emek sineması) düzenlenmiş ve yarışmayı sinemanın yer göstericisinin kızı Matmazel Araksi Çetinyan kazanmıştır. Fakat yarışma geçersiz sayılmıştır. İlk ciddi ve resmi organizasyon 1929 yılında Mustafa Kemal Atatürk direktifiyle Cumhuriyet Gazetesi tarafından düzenlenmiştir. 25 Şubat 1929 tarihinde yapılan duyurularda 16 ila 25 yaş arası her namuslu Türk kızının iştirak edebileceği ve bar kızlarının yarışmaya alınmayacağı açıklanmıştır. 2-3 Eylül 1929 yılında yapılan yarışmayı 19 yaşındaki Feriha Tevfik (Dağ) kazanmıştır.

Source:http://iys.inonu.edu.tr/webpanel/dosyalar/988/file/kultur.pdf

Let me translate for you the important content (the essence, I bolded those parts). The contest made in 1926 won by Ms Çetinyan was annulled (or "invalidated", I am not a native speaker of English; the result was considering it null and void). The first official and serious pageant was organized by the "Cumhuriyet" newspaper on 2-3 September 1929 and was won by Feriha Tevfik. (I add: Ms Çetinyan has taken the third place in this pageant per sources.) This is it. --E4024 (talk) 10:15, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

By this rationale, I'd say the article needs to be updated to reflect that the first pageant was nullified and is not recognised as an official Turkish pageant - but the fact is that the subject is receiving coverage (regardless of the motivations behind such coverage) and that she was the first winner of a quasi-official pageant - even if that pageant was later nullified. That's noteworthy. In this case, it's not like the event was trying to claim kinship with a pre-existing pageant or event, which also makes it worth noting. There's an argument for merging this into Miss Turkey article as a historical note on a predecessor (particularly as Araksi did compete in that too) which I wouldn't object to, though I still feel the article - especially once correctly updated to reflect what the sources say - is a valid keep. Mabalu (talk) 11:09, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I just do not see how we can keep this article. Merging into Miss Turkey would be fine with me, but as an alone-standing article - we do not know when she was born, when she died (and whether she died at all - though most likely so), what profession did she have, just nothing. We only know she run in two notable beauty contests, and several newspapers mentioned that. How could this be an encyclopedic article?--Ymblanter (talk) 11:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There are plenty of equally dubious stubs for people such as Christopher Shannon (who I recently stumbled across) that lack key dates too... which is WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, I know. I am leaning merge into Miss Turkey as a result of all this, too - still better than a delete. Mabalu (talk) 12:11, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to merge this stub somewhere, the destination should be the "article" on Miss Globe Organisation (which is another problematic case, IMO, as it was edited several times by a user who has the same name with the "owner" of the Organisation and still seems to be a stub after several years of existence in WP). Please see this source (whose English gives an impression like the text was translated from another language, say Turkish or Armenian :-) to find out more about Ms Çetinyan and the "Miss Globe International". Thanks. --E4024 (talk) 12:31, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Theres no need to merge. Ill just add the information onto the page. I dont get why anyone isnt doing so already. Its the first beauty pageant held in an Islamic country and was won by an Armenian. She deserves to have an own article whether she won or not. I dont care about the aftermath or the sociopolitical factors that "nullified" it. It is a momentuous event and the controversy is notable in itself. These sociopolitical factors is what is provoking users to even say she didnt exist (first comment). Why? Because she was Armenian? Please lets stick to good faith. If the Turkish public today cant swallow the fact that an Armenian won the first beauty pageant, imagine how it was 90 years ago! Proudbolsahye (talk) 16:52, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Who were the other participants? Who came second and third? Maybe you stop insulting at the Turks and make an article for this "first beauty contest in an Islamic country" (Is it your own research?) which was "not official and not serious" and "received by istihza (irony, sarcasm, ridicule) by the press and people" (i.e. public opinion; I add) per two reliable sources, and you merge Ms Çetinyan into that new article; although I have a feeling it would also be deleted under these circumstances. --E4024 (talk) 23:50, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't insult Turks. I have many Turkish friends. Please don't get personal. Also I insist you stop calling me a "nationalist", "racist", trying to get me banned with "SPI"'s, and constantly trying to poke fun at my mentioning of "honest mistake". Please respect the Wikipedia:Five pillars and Wikipedia:Civility. All articles I make reflect (mostly Turkish) sources. Proudbolsahye (talk) 23:59, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@User Malabu and others: I added more examples of "misuse" of sources (even after I reported this practice) by the main editor of the stub. This is not a talk about that contributor but their contributions which make this stub not acceptable as a WP article. --E4024 (talk) 11:06, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As one of the providers of sources, I think that this person is notable from the point of view of sources. Almost of all sources deal this person as the first miss Turkey. "Misuse of sources" is not a valid reason to keep or delete an article. Takabeg (talk) 23:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Let me take it as a lapsus linguae the reference to "first Miss Turkey" as the "Miss Turkey" began only in 1929 (and as I noted several times, Ms Çetinyan came third in that first ever "Miss Turkey" pageant) but I would like to recommend you that while you are busy looking for sources find some reliable sources about when she was born, if she is still alive or died (when and where), what did she do for a living (other than the work in the theatre), if she married anyone, who were the other contestants in that pageant she won (sic) but her title was retrieved, who came second, who third etc so you can keep (or write from scratch after the deletion) this article. --E4024 (talk) 23:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The nominator says that Transformers spaceships are "not notable", but there are a couple articles on Transformers spaceships, who linked to on this list, who were nominated for deletion and found to have sufficient notability! So his argument is completely false. Also, there are many reference from reliable sources. On a personal note, I find this nomination of this article to actually be highly troubling. We had seperate articles for many of the lesser ships on Wikipedia at one time. Then there was a round of deletion nominations. Many editors came to the agreement to merged all the articles into one list page. Deleting this list would be sabotaging that solution. Mathewignash (talk) 01:23, 21 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Mathewignash; the list article allows for an encyclopedic collection of fictional-world information without creating large numbers of articles which are prone to requests for deletion.

  • Delete not seeing the policy based arguments. I'm seeing lots of explanations that this is feasible and notable, but Wikipedia isn't based on bald editorial opinion. Opinions need to be cited to sources. I'm also seeing people say "well this article exists because there are lots of non-notable entries that were merged here". Well, what if the whole thing isn't notable?
    The guideline on notability says If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list. There are no such sources.
    And there's no guideline that discusses the exception to notability described by some of the "keep" comments. If anything, WP:Notability says the opposite: "Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. 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".
    There are no sources that discuss this group of things, making deletion the only appropriate response. Shooterwalker (talk) 19:41, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Note that, right after that, WP:N also says "There is no present consensus for [...] what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists". This means that being noted as a group definitely shows notability for the list; but other types or lists are not excluded. Wikipedia:LISTPURP explicitly allows navigation lists as indexes to content found at other places in Wikipedia, like this one. See also WP:SALAT, that accepts lists of similar topics as long as they can be split if they grow too much. Only cross-categorization lists are explicitly disallowed by policy, and this is not one of them. Diego (talk) 14:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Wikipedia is both a serious encyclopedia and a compendium of popular culture. We shouldn't nitpick the cruft, we should embrace it. The serious encyclopedia should have serious inclusion standards, a low bar here isn't going to hurt anything or anyone. There is sourcing showing, imperfect though it may be. Is the material accurate? That's the main thing. If it is, then this sort of gunk should be tagged for better sources, not hauled to AfD. Live, let live, build the serious encyclopedia. Carrite (talk) 07:48, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • AfDs are the place to discuss whether an article meets or violates policies/guidelines. They are thus not appropriate to discuss the value of policies/guidelines. Such comment doesn't provide any policy-based reason to keep and thus should be discarded.Folken de Fanel (talk) 12:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • The above comment by Carrite seems to be squarely based on how the article meets WP:V and WP:NOTPAPER. Diego (talk) 14:00, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • Nomination is based on the fact that the article may not meet WP:N, meeting WP:V or WP:NOTPAPER is thus irrelevant to this AfD. Besides, it seems on the contrary that Carrite indicates the article does not unequivocally meet WP:N, on the contrary, whole chunks of texts are still unsourced. I'm merely remarking that Carrite does not say the nomination is wrong regarding our inclusion policies, only that our inclusion policies are wrong, and AfD is not an appropriate venue for that kind of discussion. The questionning of a community-wide consensus on our policies regarding popular culture has to happen in a wider and more visible discussion, not a in small, time-restricted, confidential AfD. Carrite's views may have merit in another context, just not for an AfD.Folken de Fanel (talk) 16:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          • Citing applicable policy is never irrelevant to AfDs. Carrite Claritas (the nominator)'s views may be based on the GNG, but WP:N allows for other ways to determine notability (in particular in the context of lists as I pointed out above), so any view that predicates a way to establish N is consistent with policy and must be taken into account. Diego (talk) 17:48, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
            • I have yet to see any better reason of having such a list, when all the real-world info can easily and more efficiently be included somewhere else, besides "it exists so let's write about it", which blatantly contradicts WP:IINFO and WP:NRVE.Folken de Fanel (talk) 20:54, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My, oh my, I had no idea I was being so controversial... In reply for FdF's seemingly furious demand that my opinion be ignored since it is not grounded in policy, I will cite the policy of WP:IGNOREALLRULES (translation: use common sense to improve the encyclopedia) and will remind him that site policy (rules) trumps site guidelines (strong suggestions) in the hierarchy of internal legality. I am a realist about WP. We have different notability standards for different sets of knowledge. A very low bar for things like garage bands and athletes, a relatively high bar for politicians, for example, in which bios about unelected candidates with dozens of verifiable, independent, published sources are tossed because, ummmm, they tend to be uninformative, self-promotional, and are frequently vandalized or edit-warred over. Or something. Point is, leave the Transformers cruft alone if it is minimally sourced, as this is, and move along to productive endeavors that will improve the encyclopedia rather than disimprove pop culture coverage.

  • Keep Questions about notability would be more to the point it it were desired to make an article about individual spacecraft. This is a combination article, in which the individual items need not be notable, any more than any other item of content within an article. Whether to make such a list separate from the main articles is purely a question of convenience. I think it's a very good idea to keep this separate from the main article,as the best way to prevent an accumulation of details there. This is not fancruft--fancruft is in considerably more detail than this--true fan-level detail would be a list of every appearance of every craft in the series.

  • Keep as a navigational list per WP:LISTPURP and per WP:LISTN - the Transformer vehicles have about three decades of coverage in all forms of media, making them "notable as a group" as described in the notability police. Diego (talk) 16:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Also per WP:CSC#3, a "short, complete lists of every item that is verifiably a member of the group" is an explicit accepted selection criterion for lists. Diego (talk) 00:19, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: I've trimmed down the amount of in-universe-only per conversation below. The original version when nominated was this one.
    • Notability requiring "verifiable evidence", could you elaborate on what significant coverage there is on Transformer spacecrafts ? All I see in the article are episode summaries which just happen to mention some of spacecraft names, but that isn't significant coverage that would justify a SAL, in my opinion.Folken de Fanel (talk) 16:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Sherman Roger's The African American Entrepreneur: Then and Now and Dan Fleming's Powerplay: Toys As Popular Culture provide extended reviews of the Transformer franchises as toys transforming into vehicles. Pop magazines have always focused on the vehicles when reviewing the video games (see from early examples (when the vehicles where mere "common" modern cars and tanks) to modern appearances in video-games and comics and movies covering the whole range of transformations for the day are also easy to come by with (cracked and Wired for example comment how ridiculous it's to disguise as a spaceship when all robots can travel to space on their own). I agree the current articles on the franchise are heavy on in-universe only coverage, but the cure for that is not burying the information but trimming the plot descriptions and adding the real-world impact of the toys. Diego (talk) 17:41, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • You're right in that these sources provide good real-world coverage on the Transformer franchise, but do you realize they could actually be put to better use somewhere else ? The main Transformers articles don't even have any "Development" or "Reception" sections. The purpose of this list is to gather in-universe info only, I understand you only have good intentions, but I don't see how in the world you could incorporate your sources in this article, except by linking to them each time a vehicle is mentionned, and thus leaving out any info that doesn't mention a vehicle. Spreading out every little bit of real-world content across the wiki is the best way to ensure no Transformer article will ever reach GA status. My opinion is that justifying plot articles instead of working on real-world sections in appropriate articles is a waste of time. Support this article if you wish, but if you agree on the importance of real-world info over plot, maybe you can think about the other ways to deal with the issue.Folken de Fanel (talk) 20:39, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          • You could copy the the real-world content to both articles, for example. Diego (talk) 23:32, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
            • And make the content WP:REDUNDANT ? If you acknowledge the need to limit in-universe only coverage, I don't really understand why you have to go to such length to save trivia such as this. If the real-world content can work in an altogether different article than this one, it is unlikely to prove notability for Transformers spacecrafts.Folken de Fanel (talk) 08:11, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
              • No, that's giving the content WP:DUE WEIGHT - it can be summarized in the main topic article and expanded in more specific articles. I said limit fictional coverage, not to eliminate it. Wikipedia doesn't have limits of space nor requires perfect articles from the first day. If you wipe out everything that's not in pristine state, and forcing editors to start from scratch each time, you'll never advance in the process to write good articles - that's the reason why deletion is a last resort. If the proposal was to merging, stubbing or even blanking the page I'd be more sympathetic, but I have no patience for deletion discussions based on CLEANUP reasons and I see no value in limiting access to history for content that pose no legal risk. Diego (talk) 08:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
                • If you "see no value in limiting access to history for content that pose no legal risk" then you are in a seriously minority view on how to deal with problematic content on Wikipedia, and should not be taking part in deletion discussions.

                    • Equally, I would expect anyone who (for instance) believed that the NFCC would be best ignored or that articles should be based on at least one book (as opposed to web or periodical) source would have no business taking part in GAC if they were going to try and enforce their minority view. J Milburn (talk) 10:07, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
                • Diego, you still haven't proved that any coverage you could extract from the sources wouldn't be limited to name-dropping on a few entries of this list. Nor that the actual substance of the sources does indeed go in-depth on the actual topic (which is fictional vehicles, not real life toys, as indicated in the introduction) instead of better fitting somewhere else, thus giving WP:UNDUE WEIGHT to the article currently under discussion. You still haven't proved that your recommandation is based on anything else than ideology (rather than policy).Folken de Fanel (talk) 11:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

                      • How does stubbing the article violate WP:NOTPLOT? Diego (talk) 12:30, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
                        • Because I don't believe there is enough coverage from independent source to ever make this list WP:NOTPLOT-compliant. That's the whole notability issue, in case you didn't follow.Folken de Fanel (talk) 15:32, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
                          • Grasping at straws here? Obviously, it doesn't violate NOTPLOT. It list all the spacecraft in this notable series, and list details about them as they appear in toys, comics, and animated series. Dream Focus 16:23, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
                            • Nitpicking here ? Yeah, 90% plot, the rest is too trivial to bring any notability. Obviously it violates NOTPLOT, because plot has to be kept a concise summary while the focus should be real-life coverage. This article goes the other way around.Folken de Fanel (talk) 17:15, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
                              • The question was how a stub version, with only the 10% that's not plot, would violate the NOTPLOT policy. I think it's a valid one, given that Wikipedia:STUBBING is a recommended action by the guideline. Diego (talk) 17:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
                                • "because plot has to be kept a concise summary while the focus should be real-life coverage. This article goes the other way around", with no proof it can be changed. That's the whole notability issue.Folken de Fanel (talk) 19:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
List articles don't have to prove their notability. Look through some of the various List of articles, and you'll find some have nothing but blue links of similar articles listed in them, and nothing more. Others show information which is helpful. There are multiple blue links in this article of related things, so the list article is valid. And because it should be complete, it list additional things that don't have their own article. See List of characters for some examples of this. Dream Focus 23:00, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
All article-space need notability in the sense of having third-party reliable sources enough to write thier content, but lists can be kept by criteria other than the WP:GNG. See this recent talk for how LISTN is interpreted by the veterans in the community. I've trimmed down the excessive plot (it was definitely doable, not difficult at all) and the result is actually longer than a stub. Diego (talk) 23:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Neutral Delete - having had a look at the sources, I'm not particularly convinced the sources are enough to meet WP:CORPDEPTH. I'm seeing broken links, blogs, passing mentions and sources that don't even mention the subject. Not much by way of "significant coverage". I've read the arguments made in the previous AFDs but I don't really agree with the suggestion that one source (that I can't seem to find) would meet our existing WP:GNG criteria. Though not a reason for deletion, the obvious WP:COI does not help and there's probably a username violation in there too. Stalwart111 11:51, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment A lot of the sources aren't very in depth, but there's a few pages about the company in Neil Taylor's Document And Eyewitness: an intimate history of Rough Trade (Hachette UK, 2010). Joly MacFie might be more notable than his companies (this and Punkcast). --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:35, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I admit to a direct interest in the article, which I created. I did my best to maintain NPOV and use available secondary references. I believe maintaining an accurate article is especially important now as the recent 'Punk: An Aesthetic' by Jon Savage contains a major error, misidentifying MacFie of Better Badges as KifKif of Fuck Off Records. Note that this article survived an earlier AfD soon after it was created. In response to Colapeninsula above, I think that - in the case of Better Badges - the company is more notable than MacFie, and it has changed ownership.

  • Note While any AfD stands or falls on its merits, if you look at the contribs of the nominator, it would appear to be a WP:SPA, what's more an inexpert one. Wwwhatsup (talk) 06:24, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think part of the issue is the suggestion you have a direct conflict of interest, not just an interest an the original author. You are not required to declare a conflict of interest but conflicted editing is always strongly discouraged, and it would be good (for other editors) to get that cleared up. Regardless, it would be good if you have a few more sources to contribute. I'm always open to being convinced. Stalwart111 07:49, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
And there would seem to be some underlying COI in the nomination, too, which doesn't help. Stalwart111 08:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, but two wrongs don't make a right :) I have a direct interest in the subject of the article. I am a seasoned Wiki editor and this is only one of many articles I have contributed to. Which is why I have been careful to maintain NPOV and secondary references, where possible. I wish there were more to find, but, as people get around to writing histories of the period, they are appearing, however inaccurate. I will look into adding some from the Rough Trade book mentioned above. BTW which source could you not find? Wwwhatsup (talk) 08:08, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, and respect your added comments. The linked sources in the article were fine (the links themselves) I just couldn't find any additional ones having done a general Google search. But I respect the views of those above for whom the sources were enough. Look forward to seeing anything else you can find. Stalwart111 08:53, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry - understand what you meant now. The one I "couldn't find" was the one mentioned in the previous AFD. Doesn't matter now. Have also struck my COI comment and username comment. Stalwart111 09:01, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Paging through Google Books there are a few. I've added a couple, although not this one that I loved but deemed too trivial, from a book on Tom Robinson - "By the following spring, one of the best sellers at Better Badges mimicked the TRB clenched-fist logo, but bore the legend 'Gay Whales Against The Nazis'. " - an indicator that BB was pretty apolitical back in the day. Unlike under recent management, where I found a ref to the firm making half-a-million anti-IRAQ war badges in the early 2000's.
Yeah, for lack of large in-depth articles, I would be including a few of those less in-depth passing mentions. Why not? They might not help with depth but they do contribute to breadth - something some are more willing to take into account than others but still worth considering. Stalwart111 10:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In terms of depth, punk rock in general, and Better Badges in particular, are gaining recognition as pioneering P2P media. I've added an EL to a talk by MacFie at a New York Law School Copyright Conference that touches on this. Wwwhatsup (talk) 06:16, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, if mainstream media pick up on that then notability would be put beyond doubt, I'd say. But the primary source is a good start. I'm still not convinced the subject meets WP:GNG but there's probably enough there to convince me it was notable to some people. Niche notability maybe? Anyway, I'm changing my !vote to neutral - a closing admin can weigh the arguments. Stalwart111 08:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note Hello Wwwwhatsup. I don't think that I terribly need to respond but I will. Whether I have edited before without a username isn't relevent, but the instructions for deletion say that "You must sign in to nominate pages for deletion. If you do not sign-in, or you edit anonymously, you will get stuck part way through the nomination procedure." Why are you pointing this out, if you say "any AfD stands or falls on its merits" then why even mention it? If I have a motive for doing this it isn't stronger than your motive for creating the article. I'm sorry if you feel like you have that many enemies here but accusing me like that I don't think helps you. If I do have a COI as you do it does not matter. If someone with a COI nominates an article for deletion out of spite and it shouldn't be deleted then no one will vote delete. That's the wikipedia's protection. If someone with a COI creates an article about their business and is the only editor, then anyone can nominate the article, and it will be at AFD. That's wikipedia's protection. Everything is going like it should. There's no reason to accuse me of spite because if my AFD had no merit it would get all keeps. Or am I wrong here, you're right I'm not that seasoned. If I'm wrong please tell me. Now I wish I didn't do this because people are accusing each other alot. I'm sorry if I seem angrered but I feel that you're accusing me. If the article's improved the it shouldn't be deleted that is obvious. But it seems like no one else edited it alot and it doesn't have alot of good sources. So I hope people see why I did it. Doesn't a company need more than a few passing mentions? I'm sorry for my long reply. MarioNovi (talk) 09:24, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, it was me that suggested the duality of COI here. It's strongly discouraged in all cases, for a range of reasons and this is a pretty good example of a few of those. Anyway... Stalwart111 10:56, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It was here [2] that he first accused me but you probably didn't see that. It's ok anyway. Thank you for your help. MarioNovi (talk) 07:41, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well I see SPA suggested there, not COI, but you're right, it doesn't matter. Both would be discouraged. Cheers, Stalwart111 08:06, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - As a regular purchaser from Better Badges in the '70s I found the wikipage informative, interesting and wholly free from any bias caused by asserted COI issues - despite it's origins being in the now distant past those days are frequently discussed on various forums and on facebook etc by collectors or members of interest groups from that geographical area, or that area of historical interest - these are impossible to reference as they are frequently transitory but I can assert that Better Badges is discussed and written about by many more people than the original owner Joly MacFie. Furthermore The article does not, in my view, advertise Mr Macfie to any greater extent than any other person mentioned. Online discussion groups are lucky that he is accessible enough to contribute to questions of historical accuracy when needed, and does so without bias or self-interest. It is certainly an area of historical significance, the business crossing the perceived gap between hippies and punks at that time and even contributing to a cultural unity. I wish I could give more in the way of practical support but I firmly believe the page should stay - it would be enlivened by pictures of some/all of the products. I have just used it as a reference and would have been hard pressed to have found some of the information as by the very nature of the business many of the original sources (such as fanzines) are transitory by nature and have long since disappeared except in the hands of collectors. I do not feel lack of external referencing, or the question of the bulk authorship, is enough reason to delete in this case and would urge that the page NOT be deleted.

  • Comment I think most people would agree that buttons, or badges as they were known in the UK, are, along with the safety pin, and spiky hair, one of the essential stylistic elements associated with punk rock. If you dig deeper you will find the reason for this is the formation of Better Badges in 1976, with its "Image as Virus" philosophy. Better Badges went on to make the majority of the punk badges. This is pretty well described in the 1981 The Face article that is the primary source. Later there were other significant contributions in terms of open-access fanzine publishing, resulting notably in the launch of i-D magazine, again sourced, and cassette duplication, utilized by Fuck Off Records, a pioneer in DIY. which needs better sourcing and detail, especially given, as noted above, recently published misinformation.

  • Comment You can't say that TUF fights don't count because if you read the guidelines the do count. They are top tier and they are professional fights. There are a few people that don't understand how sanctioning works that are trying to argue they aren't professional fights. Where the argument fails is that once you are a professional MMA fighter, the only MMA you can compete in is professional fights.

I urge those advocating keep to ignore the finer points of WP:NMMA and look past it and go for passing WP:GNG; it does not matter if he has fought in 2.89472 fights, if you can demonstrate the subject passes GNG you make all of the rationales for delete based on WP:NMMA void. ✍ Mtking ✉ 10:31, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm filing this AfD administratively for an IP, whose rationale was given to me as: "Subject not notable according to Wikipedia criteria; lacks multiple secondary and tertiary sources, inclusion in Marquis' "Who's Who..." books unreliable, subject is not widely cited by other authors in her genre, Evernight Publishing has no entry in Wikipedia, recent digital book by author (Home Fires of Christmas) only ranks #483,928 on Amazon Kindle Store, subject does not contribute to major news agency or publication, Subject was affiliated with The Joplin Globe (only 30,000 Sunday circulation according to Wikipedia) and is currently affiliated with the Neosho Daily News, which she cites as a reference."

(I'm to be considered neutral for now, my action here is procedural.) j⚛e deckertalk 20:45, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]


NOTE: I am Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy. I have twenty-seven published works of fiction with four publishers (Champagne Books, Rebel Ink Press, Evernight Publishing and Astraea Press). I am a member of Romance Writers of America, Missouri Writers Guild, and the Ozark Writers League. In addition to my own titles, through 2012, with seven more upcoming in 2013, I feel there is every valid reason to NOT delete my Wikipedia entry. A google search of my name reveals thousands of pages in multiple languages. I also own and operate four ongoing blogs and in 2013 have been named as part of the top authors at Rebel Ink Press, the Rebel Elite team. The Joplin Globe - if you checked their stats, not Wikipedias - has extensive circulation in four states.

I personally feel the request to remove this entry is an act of jealousy and personal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy (talk • contribs) 23:29, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Well... the issue is whether or not you've received coverage in sources that Wikipedia feels are reliable and shows notability. I haven't done a search yet, so I can't really state if you meet it one way or another. All I can say is that publishing a lot of books in multiple languages doesn't guarantee notability. It makes it more likely, but it doesn't guarantee it. I know, I know. It seems backwards and at times I get incredibly frustrated because I've had to watch pages on big name authors get deleted because they lacked RS to show notability per Wikipedia's notability guidelines. These are people who routinely get on the New York Times bestselling mass market lists, but don't get the coverage needed for their own article. I can't guarantee that the IP that nominated the page did so out of a malicious intent, but it's best to assume good faith. As far as publishing with notable houses go, that doesn't mean anything. Notability isn't inherited by publishing through big name houses. It just makes it more likely that you'd get that coverage. I'll see what I can do, but I'll recommend that right now saying that this is a personal attack against you isn't always a good way to argue your case. It puts a lot of people on the defensive. (WP:RS, WP:AUTHOR, WP:NOTINHERITED, WP:PERSONAL) If I feel that you pass notability guidelines I'll fight for this page to the very end, but if you don't then there's really not much that can be done about it. I'm optimistic that I'll find stuff, but I want to stress that there is a chance that you won't pass notability guidelines. It was hard enough for people to argue for notability for authors such as Lora Leigh, who is not only a NYT bestselling author but also one that has published through Berkley and has put out a ton of work.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:46, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ms. Sontheimer Murphy, just because I do not believe that you deserve your own entry on Wikipedia doesn't mean I have some sort of vendetta against you. In fact, I had never even heard of you until recently when I was researching Hermann Jaeger and saw your name below his in the Neosho, Missouri entry. Of the four publishers you listed, all four are small, independent publishers and Epublishers. According to http://www.rwa.org/p/cm/ld/fid=521, "All individuals who have attained the age of 18 and who agree to accept the purposes of RWA and to faithfully observe and be bound by the Bylaws of RWA [and pay $10-$95] shall be eligible to apply for membership." Inclusion in the Missouri Writer's Guild is more noteworthy, but if Wikipedia went by their criteria (http://www.missouriwritersguild.org/mwg_membership.shtml), it would be overrun with authors. The Ozark Writer's League only asks for $20.00 and a 35-word bio. Finally, on the topic of blogs, Wikipedia:Verifiability says that "Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs (as distinguished from newsblogs, above), Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources." I really can't say fairer than that. 69.151.66.141 (talk) 07:28, 14 January 2013 (UTC)69.151.66.141[reply]
  • Delete. I'm a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to save this entry, but here are my reasons why:
  1. First off, there are a lack of reviews from places that Wikipedia would consider reliable sources. I went through about 30 pages of a Google search and all of the reviews I found were through review blogs. Blogs are almost always considered unusable as sources that show notability. The only exception is if you have someone writing a blog that's considered to be an absolute authority. Most bloggers aren't. An example of a reviewer that would be considered an absolute authority would be someone along the lines of the editor in chief of say, the New York Times, or a college professor that's routinely quoted as being the top person in their field of study in several reputable sources. This usually means that the blogger is someone notable by Wikipedia's guidelines. Not always, but usually in my experiences.
  2. There is no in-depth coverage of Sontheimer Murphy in news sources. The only source we have in the article or in general is a news article by the paper that she writes for. For many, this would make it a WP:PRIMARY source even if it was published before she began writing it for the paper. Even if we don't count it as such, one source isn't enough in this instance to show notability. It's very rare that one or two sources shows that someone passes notability guidelines. It can happen, but it's incredibly rare. The other coverage is predominantly in blogs and in sources that can't be used as reliable sources to show notability. Wikipedia is very specific in what it can use and what it can't.
  3. As far as writing for various sites go, this in and of itself doesn't give notability. You have to show that the author's blog and news posts have been extensively commented upon by reliable sources. As above, this hasn't been commented upon by any reliable sources. Any commentary by the places that publish her work is considered a primary source.
  4. Now when it comes to being a member of various organizations or publishing with a specific house, this doesn't guarantee notability. Notability isn't inherited by publishing with or being a member of various organizations. It might make it more likely, but it doesn't in itself guarantee notability. Now when it comes to being part of the governing body of an organization, this doesn't guarantee notability either. Like the one source rule, it's rare that being part of the governing body of these types of organizations will give you notability. Being the president of a local writing group isn't the type of thing that gives that level of notability. This isn't a slight against being part of these groups, just that notability guidelines are very strict.
  5. Finally, I was unable to show where Sontheimer Murphy is seen as a notable writer within her genre or has started a new line of writing. She's published a lot, but this in and of itself isn't guaranteed to give notability. It used to be enough, but not really enough by today's guidelines.
In the end, there just isn't enough at this time to show that she passes notability guidelines. Please don't take this personally. Like I said, it's really hard to show notability for even the big name authors that have published far more over the years than you have. Everything really boils down to coverage in reliable sources and you just haven't received this yet. I understand that it's really hard for indie authors to get this coverage, but it's essentially what we need for someone to pass notability guidelines per WP:AUTHOR.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:32, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Article attempts to build family trees of MUDs. There is no indication that reliable sources have covered this topic and the content appears to be primarily original research. The closest thing to a reliable source in the article is Keegan's paper which may have been published in the Journal of MUD Research, an extremely obscure, short-lived, on-line only journal. Note that there was a previous VfD discussion in 2004 with an inconclusive result. Pburka (talk) 19:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge or keep I like the nice family diagrams and most of the boxes are in fact Wiki links. One could make a case that this is a sort of list-class article. However, at least some of the information implicit in the trees is already contained in the Family, Codebase and MudLib fields of the list in the Chronology of MUDs article. As the trees add useful information that would be hard to discern from the list, it would be useful and on topic to merge the trees into the Chronology of MUDs article. Update: Keeping the article would be reasonable, too. Mark viking (talk) 22:55, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I tried to check if the trees were accurate, and they do appear to be. I would liken the article to an Outline article, useful for navigation purposes. ROM (MUD) has a reliable source verifying its history. --Odie5533 (talk) 22:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge or delete. I agree with Mark viking, this article is already contained in Chronology of MUDs under the Codebase column. Likewise, a page that lists MUDs in colourful balloons as in Keegan's paper, figure 1 wouldn't be any different in content. The only difference in content is that Chronology of MUDs only contains notable MUDs and MUD trees does not. 87.67.187.183 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:34, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - definitely appreciate the effort to collate this information from the sources listed and present it in such a concise format. The geneology of codebases is a valuable encyclopeadic reference and has merit. -- Gth-au (talk) 05:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article is well sourced and provides useful information not found elsewhere. While some of the information may be available in the Chronology of MUDs article, most of it isn't. Further, the chronology lists specific servers, while this page lists codebases - the two are as different as a list of discovered fossils versus the graphs of species by category. The original research warning tag should also be removed. Opening a book to look up the print date isn't original research any more than looking at the copyright and history notices in a codebase.

This is particularly true given that the article proclaims that "All routes are up to date as of 4 April 2011" -- almost two years ago. This article includes only one source citation, leaving all but one sentence of the article entirely unsourced. Furthermore, the article includes asterisked footnote calls (* and *****) that don't correspond to any footnote text, and a color scheme for the route numbers that was noted on the talk page in March 2011 as being unexplained, and it still has not been explained to this day.

Contested PROD. Non-notable fringe theory. I can't see any peer-reviewed journal article discussing this theory. Salih (talk) 18:04, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Would it be reasonable to suggest that the Dynamic Steady State Universe Theory (The cellular universe) is, in respect of Wikipedia:Fringe theories, an "Alternative theoretical formulation" which "tweaks things on the frontiers of science"? --Senra (talk) 23:01, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I found one peer reviewed paper, which serves as a primary source, but could find no reliable secondary sources discussing the theory. As such, it falls below threshold for notability. I think this qualifies as a fringe theory of cosmology (see WP:FRINGE), in that (1) it is an alternative to the big bang hypothesis and associated lambda CDM model that is the current mainstream theory these days and (2) it has few adherents.

  • Delete. Ranzan's argument, linked by Uncle G, is that the theory was presented at a conference in 2002, and so the lapse of time means that it is no longer "original research"; but passing time alone is not enough, what is needed is evidence of independent discussion and comment on the theory. The relevant sentence from WP:NOR is: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it." JohnCD (talk) 18:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: this article fails the notability guidelines. The only non-primary coverage I could find myself was the non reliable source Marmet (2013) which I added to the article. The article is not original unpublished research in the Wikipedia sense because, whilst all known sources are primary sources (e.g. DSSU Relativity —The Lorentz Transformations Applied to Aether-Space. Physics Essays Vol 23, No.3, p 520 (2010), the original research policy does not prohibit such sources. The policy actually states: Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reliably published may be used in Wikipedia; but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Incidentally, I wrote to Ranzan (talk · contribs) off-wiki via cellularuniverse.org asking "Has the [DSSU] theory received any coverage (positive or negative) in any peer reviewed journal, book or news article by any authors other than Conrad Ranzan?". The reply did not contain any links to any such coverage other than Ranzan's own papers or web site. If I get a reply to my further request to Ranzan I may change my view --Senra (talk) 13:11, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor previously placed a WP:PROD on this article on grounds of lack of notability. I endorsed the Prod with the rationale "No evidence of meeting WP:ORGDEPTH criteria; the article is now associated with a set of pages on the organisation's internal grades, without indication that these have wider recognition or notability." The Prod was removed by a new editor, who has also stated their case on Talk:Institute of Business Continuity Management. With respect to that case, Wikipedia does not feature articles on anticipation of future notability nor on the wishes of an organisation's membership to have an entry, nor on the honorability of the organisation: achieved notability is the key and is not evident in this case, hence I am bringing it to AfD on the same rationale as my earlier Prod endorsement.

Declined WP:PROD. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources as required by WP:GNG. Sources offered are all either WP:PRIMARY (1, 2), mere conference announcements of presentations by the authors (3, 4) or fail to mention this language at all (5). Googling turns up nothing useful, which is not surprising given that the language is only a few months old. It's possible this language may become notable in the future but Wikipedia is not a WP:CRYSTALBALL. Msnicki (talk) 17:12, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete This looks like a promising domain specific language for mining code repositories. While there are a number solid primary references, including three peer reviewed papers, the only secondary references found were inclusion of Boa in a list of mini-languages and a discussion on Usenet; both these references are unreliable. This looks like a case of WP:TOOSOON; not enough time has passed for news or review articles, etc., to be written discussing the subject.

Tagged for notability for nearly 6 years; couldn't establish notability. Boleyn (talk) 15:26, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Undecided: Right now, the referencing consists of product reviews, which means little to me -- products get reviewed, big deal. The article claims that the software uses a patented algorithm, though. If someone can find that patent, I'll buy notability under WP:NSOFT. -- BenTels (talk) 16:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Which part of WP:NSOFT would that meet? I don't see anything about patents showing notability, and I'm not sure simply owning a patent makes one notable, because patents aren't necessarily hard to come by. If that patent were itself notable, or was shown to be used by other companies or something it might be different but I don't think simply having a patent is sufficient for notability. - SudoGhost 17:01, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Which part of WP:NSOFT would that meet?
Significance in its particular field. If this software is an implementation of a totally new invention, that would count as significant in my book. -- BenTels (talk) 19:09, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merely having a patent isn't significant in itself, even I have a software patent that's been implemented into applications but that doesn't make me notable just because it's a verifiable patent. If reliable sources were to show that the patent were notable in some way that would be different, but merely having a patent doesn't meet any of the criteria of WP:NSOFT, because that's not significant, especially when WP:NSOFT says "software is discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field"; reliable sources have to say its significant in some way and I doubt there will be any sources that say this software having a patent is in any way significant to the software/recovery field, unless this patent has been implemented by others or has some effect on the field outside of a single program. - SudoGhost 19:28, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If software is an implementation of a non-trivial patent, that means its underlying algorithm is a totally new invention. That by definition makes it significant since it enlarges the knowledge in the field of computing science. The patent is the reliable source. And unless you are claiming that you personally are a piece of software, no, being noted as the owner of a software patent does not make you notable. -- BenTels (talk) 18:41, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NSOFT requires reliable sources discussing the significance of the software; short of reliable sources saying that the patent makes the software notable, it doesn't. Wikipedia's policy on verifiability notes that patents are self-published sources, and are (1) not acceptable as sources and (2) do not give notability to the subject, and if Wikipedia policy weren't enough, looking through the archives at WP:RSN seems to show a consensus that concurs with the policy. - SudoGhost 19:57, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Patents are self-published sources? That's ridiculous. Patents are written by the entity that is requesting patent, but they are examined by an international searching authority to determine if the applied-for protection can be granted with respect to newness and inventive step. Which is why you know for any given patent if its contents are truly new or not. And to dismiss a patent as self-published is to completely deny the value and even the existence of that review process. Which idiot came up with that? -- BenTels (talk) 18:06, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia consensus came up with that policy. It doesn't matter if the patent is processed, it (1) is not hard to acquire, just a little expensive, and (2) unless the patent is tested and held up in court, the courts have shown that receiving a patent is not some end all and be all guarantee of anything. If the examination was as thorough as you're suggesting, there wouldn't be all of these court cases with successful motions to dismiss on the basis of prior art or even sometimes because the patents are concerning things that are unpatentable. It is not Wikipedia editors that are suggesting that review process isn't reliable, but the courts themselves. However, this is ignoring the fact that even if the patent were a reliable third-party source, it still wouldn't show notability for this article, because this article is not about the patent. Using notable technologies or properties does not convey notability to other things, notability is not inherited. - SudoGhost 18:26, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's even more ridiculous. Yes, mistakes happen in patenting -- the whole of human invention is a large subject matter. That doesn't change the fact that patents have been examined by subject matter experts to determine their applicability for protection with regards to the known state of human knowledge, which is a better hint of whether something is truly new and therefore notable than most of sourcing used on Wikipedia. To introduce a blanket dismissal of all patents because there have been cases where a patent was overturned is nothing more or less than the stupidity of throwing the baby out with the bathwater -- borne from community consensus or otherwise (and serves only to show that the community can be as wrong as an individual). Worse, given Wikipedia's human-knowledge-must-be-free roots, it smacks more of anti-intellectual property bias than anything else. -- BenTels (talk) 18:41, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You're right, Wikipedia policy is wrong and nobody else knows what they're talking about. That still doesn't make that patent relevant for this article. Does it verify that the patent exists? Yes, but that's about it. Does it mean that anything that uses the patent is notable? Unless reliable sources show that it's a notable use of the patent, no. Is the use of the patent significant for the relevant fields? Unless reliable sources show this, then no. Without reliable sources showing that the patent is relevant or important in some way, it doesn't contribute towards the notability of the article. - SudoGhost 20:03, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, based on what you have said above, I am going to assume you don't really know what a patent is. A patent is a monopolistic right for a limited time to exploit an invention. Patents are granted for the protection of the inventions that meet (as far as can be determined at time of application) certain criteria, including that the invention be new (i.e. not exist yet) and is not, in the estimate of an expert in the field employed by the issuing patent office, a trivial development of something that already existed. Once issued by the patent office, the patent includes a report by that expert that lists what in the patent is and is not questionable with regards to these criteria. If the central algorithm of this piece of software is an invention that was granted a patent by the U.S. Patent Office and the report cites that the claimed invention is indeed new and not trivial, that is by its very definition notable because it increases the knowledge available in the field of software engineering -- for an engineering discipline, new and not trivial is essentially what notable means. And no, that does not cover everything that uses the patented technology -- just the first thing. After that it's not new anymore. -- BenTels (talk) 22:17, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
While I do not doubt that you gave an educated and researched guess, it was still a guess and was ultimately incorrect. To claim that a patent is "is a monopolistic right for a limited time to exploit an invention" is inaccurate:

"A patent is not the grant of a right to make or use or sell. It does not, directly or indirectly, imply any such right. It grants only the right to exclude others. The supposition that a right to make is created by the patent grant is obviously inconsistent with the established distinctions between generic and specific patents, and with the well-known fact that a very considerable portion of the patents granted are in a field covered by a former relatively generic or basic patent, are tributary to such earlier patent, and cannot be practiced unless by license thereunder." - Herman v. Youngstown Car Mfg. Co., 191 F. 579, 584-85, 112 CCA 185 (6th Cir. 1911)

A patent is not a right to exploit an invention, it isn't the right to even use the invention in any way, it is only the means to stop others from using the invention, nothing more. The software is not the patent, and the patent is not the software. That the software uses something that has been patented is both routine and unremarkable, unless you can provide reliable sources that show otherwise. "New" does not and never has equated to "notable" on Wikipedia under any circumstances without reliable sources showing notability. About one in three patents get approved, and there are on average over 1,300 patents approved every single day, so having a patent on something is wholly routine and unremarkable. Short of having reliable sources say that it's a big deal, it isn't a big deal, and isn't notable. That it was "the first thing" that used a specific patent means nothing without reliable sources showing that this is somehow significant. - SudoGhost 00:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep: He is mentioned in multiple sources as a very important founding figure in the history of the once-large Jewish community in Cuba [24]; [25] (also duplicated in another book, presumably by the same author); [26]; [27]; [28]. Note that several of these sources call him, in various languages, the "grandfather" of the Jewish community in Cuba.

  • Keep Blis' role in the Cuban Jewish community is a credible claim of notability, and the claim is supported by sources. I don't doubt הסרפד's contention that additional sources that may well be challenging to find on the Internet. Alansohn (talk) 01:15, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, subject qualifies as WP:N and for WP:BIO. See the Jewish Virtual Library's entry on the history of Cuba's Jews that states: "The founder of the Zionist Movement in Cuba was David Blis who was nicknamed 'The Grandfather of the Jewish Community.' He settled in Cuba in 1913 and cooperated with Shevet Aḥim in its early Zionist activities, particularly after the Balfour Declaration. Blis presented a memorandum on the Jewish question to prominent politicians, and thanks to his endeavors the Cuban Senate approved, on April 30, 1919, a resolution in favor of a Jewish National Home in Palestine."[32] and there are many more like this.

  • Keep - the subject has been covered extensively in news media in relation to bush fire seasons over many years (if nothing else, at least since his appointment as Commissioner in 2007). Even without the routine coverage he would receive as spokesperson for the rural fire service (5,500+ GoogleNews hits for "Shane Fitzsimmons"), there are much broader personal profiles in major newspapers like this one that I would think allow the subject to pass WP:GNG.

Unreferenced and tagged for notability for over 5 years. I couldn't establish notability. Boleyn (talk)

  • keep, maybe better to merge somewhere? but if no suitable target exist, I'd keep it. They evidently exist, a simple search pops up lots of companies selling them - I added one of those catalogues as a reference (a poor one, but it is a start). Note that we have lots of valves in WP, quite likely we could have a nice set of articles if those where better organized. - Nabla (talk) 11:22, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2013 January 13. Snotbot  t • c »  12:19, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • … also known as a Rotalock valve. I agree with Nabla. There's a lot that Wikipedia doesn't tell readers about service valves for refrigerators and HVAC, including the differences between stem service valves (which is what these are) and Schrader service valves, and all about back seating. Uncle G (talk) 17:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Rotaclock seems to be a more common name (about twice ghits). If kept, seems worthy of a move (and surely worth a redir) - Nabla (talk) 20:28, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This sort of valve seems widely used and has been for decades. I've added the Rotalock alternative to the article and a journal reference verifying it. I'd have no objection to renaming the article to Rotalock valve or even service valve. Mark viking (talk) 01:05, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment a very valid reason and valid point made - as the Tasmanian, and Australian rail editors are very very thin on ground, will try to verify or otherwise of the notability within a short time - so am sitting on the fence for the moment. cheers SatuSuro 13:14, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment classic more editors here than there either in Tasmania project or tasmania rail articles in 5 years, as for coverage per third party sources - the whole reason for merging into the ARHS article is that the title of the item itself (Tasmanian Rail News) is an important under-utilised source of info for Tasmanian rail materials - and to see the connection as Thryduulf has made above is what is a practical way of understanding why such items are not really AFD but merge candidates SatuSuro 00:25, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as a stale post-modernist hoax. Sokal did it first (and better). Xxanthippe (talk) 21:41, 14 January 2013 (UTC).[reply]
  • Merge – Unsurprisingly, as I was the one who originally proposed it, I am in favor of merging this article with the very similar and related Neuroepistemology. There is considerable overlap between the two articles. Furthermore, in response to Xxanthippe, being a postmodernist theory wouldn't disinclude an article from wikipedia. WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not valid grounds for deletion. This article might, however suffer from WP:UNDUE. Like you said, it might be a hoax, but without any knowledge of neuroscience, I cannot, myself, vote for deletion on those grounds. Bensci54 (talk) 23:06, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Borderline G1 speedy. "One of the central points of this field, is building a gap." I think that says, it all. Actually, "deconstructive pragmatism" does get some hits on Google scholar, but they're for a paper by Biesta in Educational Philosophy and Theory 2008 that seems to have nothing to do with the present article. Even if this were a real discipline (which I am not convinced of), Wikipedia articles are supposed to explain their subjects, rather than being examples of them. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:42, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or merge. Now that there is a short stub at Neuroepistemology, the phrase "deconstructive pragmatism" can be added there, but there is no justification for a separate page on the subject. The pro- and con- arguments have already been given at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neuroepistemology, and perhaps the AfDs should be combined. --Tryptofish (talk) 20:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Now that there is the short stub as you say, is there any continued justification for the merge? The subject of that stub does not look to be closely related to what can be sourced about the title of this article. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:43, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Assuming we can keep the stub stable against reverts, I'd say the limit of a possible merge would be – at most – a brief definition of "deconstructive pragmatism" in the context of the newly revised page, and a redirect. It's not like I'm advocating moving a significant amount of this text to there. (Heaven forbid!) If, as you say, what's on this page does not really relate to the new stub, then a simple delete is fine with me. --Tryptofish (talk) 01:15, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No RS. Not news. No substance in the article. Scarletfire2112 (talk) 10:54, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: parallel discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Babalshams village. A redirect now. -DePiep (talk) 11:12, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Babalshams village has been merged into Bab al Shams and now is a Redirect.The AfD for that page nowis idle I'd say. -DePiep (talk) 11:27, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment to nom: "no RS" was already untue when you nominated. Anyway, it's sourced now. "No substance" - please be more specific (in case you still think so for the current version), or retract the word (written this way, it doesn't sound like an argument to me). As for "no news", that sounds like a misunderstanding (or a too easy usage) of WP:NOTNEWS. It does not mean that WP should not report news facts (or: when some topic is in the news, WP:NEWS does not say it is delatable for that reason).
  • Delete—maybe in the future we will see some kind of long-term significance for this, in which case I'll advocate for an undeletion, but so far it seems like a tent camp set up and evacuated after a couple days. It definitely doesn't satisfy the notability requirements for populated places. Regarding other notability guidelines, it might just barely satisfy GNG, although then it walls under WP:NOTNEWS. —Ynhockey (Talk) 13:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
On notability: before and after your post there were developments and additions, like the High Court involvements, notable persons spoke out, and the notings that this is a combination of special or first-of aspects: a "counteroccupation" (New York Times), varying reports (evacuation or eviction), involvement of High Court, Israeli PM, Palestine Authority. Your description is missing all of the aspects that do make it remarkable. You say it's only a "tent camp set up ... and evacuated": maybe you did not get the issue (can happen), but one can not conclude "insignificant" or anything else. -DePiep (talk) 14:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment- 7,000 plus hits on google [33], 600 plus in google news [34]. It has certainly received significant coverage in international news media. I guess the main question is whether the topic will continue to have enduring notability.
If the article is deleted we could always use the sources for E1 (Jerusalem), and break out a spin off article later if the topic continues to receive coverage in RS. Dlv999 (talk) 13:24, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect to E1 (Jerusalem). While parts of the article are clearly POV-pushing, the basic facts which are not in dispute are still very relevant. I'm not sure this has enduring notability, and I doubt it will unless something happens in the future to bring it back into the news. For now it's really just a part of the debate surrounding E1 - I don't see it as newsworthy on it's own. --Bachrach44 (talk) 19:05, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't aware of that article and have included ref'd material there from article. That also is acceptable. CarolMooreDC 19:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The location may be within E1, but that does not define it as a "E1" topic. Really, it is not subjugated to nor derived from E1. -DePiep (talk) 00:32, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: The event has received massive international press coverage. Currently 21,400 google hits for search term: "bab al shams" e1 west bank [35]. 1,400 on google news for the same term. [36]. The event has received extensive coverage in the Israeli press:-
  • Jerusalem Post [37], Ynet [38], Haaretz [39], Times of Israel [40]
In Arab/Palestinian sources:
International Sources
I am only scratching the surface here in terms of sources covering the topic to try and give a feel of the breadth and depth of coverage this topic has received. the UN secretary General,[55] the Israeli prime minister[56] and Palestinian leaders [57] have all commented on or given statements about the event as have academics such as Majid Suweilim, a professor of political science at Al Quds University [58], [59].
WP:EVENT states that "Events are also very likely to be notable if they have widespread (national or international) impact and were very widely covered in diverse sources, especially if also re-analyzed afterwards."
The event has certainly had widespread national and international RS coverage in diverse sources. Articles such as this [60] have begun to analyze the event in retrospect. I believe the topic clearly meets notability requirements for an article. Dlv999 (talk) 11:46, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
These sources used and added. -DePiep (talk) 14:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's a terrible article at the moment, but that is not cause for deletion. As Dlv999 shows, there is extremely wide coverage from reliable sources, both in terms of factual news reporting and of citable opinions of notable people. Besides that, tiny Israel settlement outposts get articles with even much less notability. Zerotalk 12:47, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete— No long-term significance demonstrated for this. Ankh.Morpork 15:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, because demonstrating long-term significance would in fact be impossible since the event only occurred 6 days ago. What we have demonstrated is that the topic has received massive national and international coverage, and has lead to comments by heads of state and academics. The topic is still receiving fresh coverage as of today. [61]. Your comment is indicative of the systemic bias issues we face in the topic area. Impossibly high standards are often placed on sources/topics/significant viewpoints that do not chime with Israeli Foreign Ministry narrative of events in the conflict. Dlv999 (talk) 15:27, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - time and again it has been demonstrated that "articles" on news events that are covered by the international press are "notable". In fact, many of those people voting to delete this article are among the people who have succeeded in making that the case (eg Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Deaths of Asher and Yonatan Palmer, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bat Ayin ax attack). If those are notable because, to quote from somebody who has voted to delete this article but keep those, other aspects of WP:EVENT are satisfied, like global coverage and diversity of sources, then so too is this. I dont particularly agree with the idea that anything that is picked up by international news organizations is "notable", but thats the precedent that has been set, and its been set by a number of the users who are oddly voting the other way now. nableezy - 15:34, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The arguments of "no RS" and "POV", posted by the nominator here before the template of "stub" was dry (and reused by others), are not deletion arguments at all. They are reason for a tag+talk, not deletion. Anyway, they are improved or even undone already by regular wiki editing process. -DePiep (talk) 08:48, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sources added.
Notability of the village and the protest is clearly high, based on the sources: high profile people spoke out (PM Israel, UN leader Ban Ki-moon). Major institutions are involved: Israeli PM, High Court, Palestinian Authority). Most newspapers have follow-up stories even within days, and various first-of aspects are pointed out multiple places (especially the "occupation"-mirror comparision). -DePiep (talk) 14:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Apart from the fact that it is in E1 space, what else does it have to do with E1 at all? How is it E1 based or related? -DePiep (talk) 00:27, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Again: Apart from the fact that it is in E1 space, what else does it have to do with E1 at all? How is it E1 based or related? (For example: why not merge into West Bank?) -DePiep (talk) 00:53, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Commenet - based on what i am reading, it only exists because of E1. it is E1, body and soul. Soosim (talk) 08:45, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not 100% sure what that comment means, but E1 is a location. Bab al Shams was a notable event that occurred within the area known as E1. Dlv999 (talk) 08:51, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Soosism: it only exists because of E1. Well, please read some more sources. It is not a protest against E1 per se, it is protest against occupation of Palestinian land. Without any idea of E1, it would still be a notable protest. Without occupation, it would be a non-notable camping site. -DePiep (talk) 11:09, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: In a new development Bab Al Shams has set a precedent for a new form of protest against Israeli settlement in the Palestinian Territories. A new protest camp has been established in East Jerusalem with all RS citing Bab Al Shams as the precedent.[62], [63], [64] [65] [66]. This shows the the lasting significance of the event. It also shows that merging the article with E1 is not appropriate as Bab Al Shams set a precedent for a new form of protest against Israeli settlement in general, not specific to the E1 site. Dlv999 (talk) 04:39, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and there's not enough to say about this event to justify an article. There are better locations for what little content is currently present in this article. The Editorial Voice (talk) 03:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Several editors, including me, above have pointed to noteworthyness with arguments. Also the "notnews" arguments have been discussed. Could you at least react to these? Just throwing out guideline links is not an argument. -DePiep (talk) 03:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You seem to misunderstand the purpose of my !vote. I'm not here to argue with you. I just don't think there's an article here, much as I don't think that every single 'Occupy X' occupation (many of which lasted significantly longer than two days, and received significantly more press coverage) should have an entire article devoted to it. The Editorial Voice (talk) 04:19, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I did not ask to argue with me. I asked what your boilerplate remark says wrt other arguments already made. I could repeat them here to the same effect. The comparision you added hints that you have not taken a look at the notability points available. -DePiep (talk) 04:38, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
How can I be more clear? I'm not here to make an argument. I'm here to express my opinion that the article under discussion should be deleted, for the reasons I identified. I've read your opinions, and I'm not swayed by them. The Editorial Voice (talk) 05:10, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • There's strong consensus at WP:VG that detailed reviews count towards notability, and there's consensus than these sources are reliable at WP:VG/RS. It may be a bland, cookie-cutter product, but it's still getting sufficient coverage. Being original isn't a criteria for meeting the WP:GNG. Sergecross73 msg me 13:56, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that there is a conceptual fault in the Wikipedia assumption of notability as recorded in WP:GNG that gives consumer products a free pass. Doesn't mean I have to agree that a totally non-notable thirteen-to-a-dozen game is notable simply because a lot of reviewers have taken the trouble to say that it is a non-notable thirteen-to-a-dozen game. And therefore I will not. -- BenTels (talk) 18:46, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • You're free to do as you chose, but don't expect any closing Admin fo act in favor of your own personal subjective definition of notability. (Where does one draw the line in interpreting notability according to "originality" like that? Would New Super Mario Bros. 2 be too much like New Super Mario Bros. so it's not worth it's own article? Or every yearly iteration of games like Call of Duty?) Sergecross73 msg me 13:40, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
          • You're making a mistake here -- your argument regarding an admin agreeing with me or not suggests that you think I am trying to win a contest, which I am not. To answer your far more sensible question of where one is to draw the line, one might begin by actually reading the reviews being offered in order to address the grave conceptual error that exists in WP:GNG. This error, you see, is the following: when you strip the guideline to its essentials, what it boils down to is "if a lot of people are talking about X, then X must be worth talking about". Which sounds reasonable, but completely misses the point that those same people might be saying that X really isn't worth talking about. And that occurs often with consumer products (video games, but also books, movies, cars and so on), because they are reviewed exactly for the purpose of telling people whether or not they are worthwhile. But GNG ignores that and opts simply for counting the number of people talking about X. So if you have, say, a video game and 15 reviewers (let's call them domain experts for the occasion) saying that it is a mediocre game and not very noteworthy at all, then GNG turns around and says "15 people are talking about it, so it must be notable" et voila, the thing becomes notable for not being notable. So how do you compensate for that? Well, as I say, you could start by actually taking into account what reviewers are saying rather than just the fact that they are saying something. And no, that is not as black-and-white as GNG often makes things. But then, there is no good reason that it should be so black-and-white. -- BenTels (talk) 18:20, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
            • "Well, as I say, you could start by actually taking into account what reviewers are saying" - This is what I'm against. WP:GNG just asks for significant coverage, not what the coverage is saying. There's no precedent for interpreting the GNG like that. Furthermore, I'm not saying you're "trying to win a contest", I'm just saying that you appear to have cared enough about this topic to participate in this discussion, and if you cared enough to participate, you may as well participate with a rationale that an Admin would take into consideration. (Closing Admin typically ignore, or put less weight into, arguments that don't adhere to policy. What you're saying isn't backed by policy, but by your own personal belief on how you'd like to improve things.) Sergecross73 msg me 21:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I can get part of the way to doing so. This has been studied by scientists, who have published their research. It's also documented as a part of history. There's an article in Colorado Outdoors magazine (either volume 45 or volume 46 in 1996) that apparently gives history, explaining the deeding to the West Arapahoe Soil Conservation District of part of the WW2 Lowry Bombing Range in 1949 and the designation as a "state natural area" in 1979, neither of which are explained in the article at hand. I'd cite it for the benefits of those with better access to sources, but I am unable to obtain author and title information.

I have put off tagging for deletion. Gave the benefit of the doubt while election was ongoing, but he lost again! Fails WP:POLITICIAN. Do not really think he meets WP:GNG either. Only real possible claim is a single two year term on county commission. Otherwise, just a perennial candidate. We don't generally keep those who are just candidates for office and the other info doesn't really amount to notability. Some bio in article is only sourced from his own site. Just smacks of electioneering from either his campaign or supporters. See strange history of being moved in and out of WP:AfC. Don't think AfC questions were really answered before made live again last time. Wait until he's actually been elected or appointed to something higher up.

  • weak Delete Under the current interpretation of WP:POLITICIAN, a losing candidate of a major party for national office is not considered notable.

  • Redirect to United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina, 2012#District 8. Subject does appear to have some local notability, but generally fails WP:POLITICIAN. That being said, the article can be recreated as a redirect page, and small but neutrally worded content regarding his 2012 primary run can be added to the area where the redirect will be targeted. Otherwise, delete per failing notability as described in WP:ANYBIO, as insufficient significant coverage can be found outside of the context of the election.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 19:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LSE student society that used to produce a written journal which went defunct and was been recreated as a website, can't find evidence that it meets our notability criteria. Dougweller (talk) 06:42, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose – clicks on Scholar and Books (above) come up with lots of results (which need parsing). A search on HighBeam Research for the editors came up with many more results. It's latest (perhaps last) Journal was issued in 2011 [71]. The 2010-11 Journal editors are all associated with the LSE. Perhaps it is defunct, but is notability restricted to current notability? I think not. Recommend retaining the article -- it needs development, not deletion.--S. Rich (talk) 16:07, 13 January 2013 (UTC)15:39, 19 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Divided - I'm giving a lot of thought to this one because my searches have provided several results but the bottom line appears to be that their biggest accomplishment appears to be Ceros. Google News searches provided this (mentioned in the columns January & August), this, this, this, this and this. Several of these news articles have said "FMG" is short for "Fresh Media Group". A different search including the full name provided more results here with several of them being acquisitions from 8 years ago (Vision, Devil7 and ISDN Media) and are through the same sources, PrintWeek or press releases. I also found a deal with American Media Inc. and this article from 2007 suggests they were originally based in London but a deal with an Indian company created connections to India and the United States. This also mentions one of their former employees, who nows works at Wyndeham Press Group. It seems they haven't been very active recently but I found this Pod1 deal with Fluid, Inc. which Pod1 appears to be the most recent FMG acquisition in June. The Exec Vice President, David Bonthrone talks about the Pod1 acquisition here but aside from that, it didn't receive much attention. A News search with the CEO, Dilip Keshu, provided several press releases. I'm divided, I think they haven't achieved much notability despite these acquisitions but I also think the article could be improved a little through adding them, especially with large coverage from PrintWeek. I would like to hear what other users think. SwisterTwister talk 20:28, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Leaning towards delete - I'm concerned by the enormous amount of original or republished press releases on Google News, two searches here and here although I did find a few decent Dallas Business Journal articles there and, through a different search, this. It seems the company hasn't received much attention from news sources these past few years but they are still active with one press release for 2013 here regarding an expansion. Google Books found results here (briefly mentions the company but the preview doesn't provide much), here (minor mention) and here (second result from the bottom, Consulting magazine mentions them as part of a "morale" list). A different search found this which is from a website that Alsbridge acquired, outsourcing-center.com and I also found this which talks about a new acquisition and what has happened since. At their website, they list three awards they have received, 2010, 2011 and 2012 from IAOP for "World's Best Outsourcing Advisors" but it seems they've never received news coverage for this as is the same with a few other awards I searched for.

In the News archive I found three entries, two of which were apparently on the InsideToronto site, but now return 404 errors, although the snippets suggests one was an event listing, and the other something about government funding; the third is an event listing on Broadway World. Books and Scholar searches were (rather unsurprisingly) equally fruitless. A search on the former name of the church produces similar results. Alexrexpvt (talk) 10:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep International relations are notable. There are plenty of official interactions between two countries to cover, ranging from one country reacting to events in another to two countries going to war. It's not "exciting" to read about, but it's politics.

    • Ed: Do you really think that all forms of international relations are notable?

  • And to be clear - I'm not suggesting that all such articles be mass-deleted or arbitrarily deleted. Only that a good many such articles were created, some based on one document, one visit or the mutual endorsement (along with dozens of other countries) of some obscure non-notable treaty or multi-lateral agreement. There are some (like Canada–United States relations for example) that obviously would never be nominated for deletion and I think we should tackle these individually.

Hand models form a notable occupational niche, but there is no evidence that this company is notable. The references are all slightly disguised PR. The argument for inclusion would have to be that they were selected for interviewing because they're the leading firm, but since none of the sources seems to actually say that, it's at least as likely that they were interviewed because they have the most energetic PR agents. Most of this is based on interviews with them. Sometimes they can be usable, but here they are used as a device for the article to include quotes from the owner. I'm open to the possibility that the company is actually notable , but then someone should write the article who won't write it as a press release. DGG ( talk ) 06:34, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak redirect: redirect is my first option, but I'd rather delete the article than keep it outright. Normal procedure would be to redirect to the school district's article, because middle schools aren't independently notable. However, there's no article for the district. Next best option is to redirect to Newfane, New York#History, where the school is mentioned. —C.Fred (talk) 04:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • I agree with you in that the song is not exactly unknown. My point is rather that its notability needs to be backed up by non-trivial coverage in reliable sources.

I cant wait to see when one of the users run into a mixed martial artist with a above .500 record in professional boxing and nominate it for deletion because the professional boxer who just so happens to be a MMA fighter does not meet WP:NMMA.
Another anonymoust post. Sigh. This discussion is on the martial arts AfD page, not just MMA. I think Mdtemp has a valid point. It's hard to see how notability guidelines that were posted on a user's page can be claimed to represent WP consensus when it's also mentioned there were only 2 active participants for the kickboxing project.

  • Delete Subject has no fights for a major MMA organization (failing WP:NMMA). He apparently has 1 fight, a loss, as a kickboxer in a non-notable event. The event was deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/K-1 Spain Battles 2009. The Spanish WP did a google translate of that now deleted article and it says Rimbon was in one of the 16 bouts that night. The K-1 website does not list him as a fighter. Papaursa (talk) 04:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's because K-1 went bankrupt and all the content on the original website was lost. The new website has one page talking about its Grand Prix tournaments and who's currently fighting for them, but that's it. I already gave quoted the guideline for notability via WP:Kickboxing. What else do you need to prove he passes under that criteria? Luchuslu (talk) 20:08, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He may well not have been listed on the old K-1 website since I know they didn't always list fighters unless they fought multiple times or in major K-1 events (like those leading to a K-1 champioship) and the Spanish event wasn't one of those. Also, it's hard to see how one gains notability by competing unsuccessfully at a non-notable event. Papaursa (talk) 21:10, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment World Victory Road is top tier as it had top ten fighters in Hirota, King Mo, Siyar, and Jorge Santiago. And that is just one card I am looking at of theirs. That is the card Moise Rimbon was on. His other Pancrase fight should be Top Tier as well. The guy he fought had 3 fights in the UFC. Plus, Josh Barnett and a multitude of other Pancrase fighters are/were top ten. Josh Barnett] is their Heavyweight Champion. Bodogfight should be top tier because it had lindland,Fedor, and Eddie alvarez, among others. Yeah, Moise is a keep because he has fought in more than a few top tier events.PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 09:43, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He had 2 fights with WVR (considered top tier). There's no official UFC fights on his record and claiming Bodogfights and Pancrase are top tier is just making up your own standards instead of going with consensus. Papaursa (talk) 21:10, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually in that notability thread one of the people I was arguing with said he would support Pancrase being top tier; Josh Barnett is their champion after all. There are also so few people involved in the mma project that to call anything churned out of there a consensus is laughable. PortlandOregon97217 (talk) 07:32, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Barnett hasn't fought in Pancrase since 2003. If he's still their champion, I don't know how you make a case that it's an active top tier organization.

Contested PROD, my reason for the PROD was "Unnecessary content fork, all pertinent info presented here which isn't WP:OR is available in the main article". I have since removed most of the OR. This list serves no useful purpose. So far, Virgin Blue/ Virgin Australia has operated a total of five different types of aircraft, with four different models of the Boeing 737. All of the info regarding the current and former fleet types is in the main article in tabular and prose form; that article is not so large that a content split is justified and that article was not at all reduced following the creation of this list anyway.

Comment apart from the info about the previous operators of the Boeing 737-300 that was used by the airline (which is irrelevant) and the fact that it was painted mostly white when all the other aircraft were painted red (which is of marginal interest and is probably WP:OR), everthing is already mentioned in the main article. I don't think there's anything to merge and, unless someone thinks that "List of aircraft operated by Virgin Australia" is a more viable search term than say, "Virgin Australia fleet", I don't think we need to keep this as a redirect either.

Nearly three years ago, List of aircraft of Imperial Airways was nominated for merger, but that nomination was not successful. The rationales posted at Talk:Imperial Airways#Merge proposal of List of aircraft of Imperial Airways for not merging that list are also justifications for not deleting this list (ie this list in its present form, without the wet leased aircraft, which should all be put back into the list). On the other hand, none of the alleged rationales for deletion mentioned above is consistent with the fact that List of aircraft operated by Scandinavian Airlines is a featured list, nor with the fact that similar lists are published on other websites, including commercial websites, and therefore obviously serve some useful purpose for the people who read them, including people who work in the aviation industry. (Some encyclopedia readers are interested in the aircraft, but not in the other details of the airline. That's one of the reasons why Wikipedia has many separate pages consisting solely of lists of things.)
In the case of this particular airline, the information in the Virgin Australia article about the airline's fleet (including its wet leased aircraft) is presented as an untidy and difficult to follow mixture of prose, table, list, and random photos of some of the airline's aircraft (including one of its wet leased aircraft). In fact, the entire Virgin Australia article in its present form is a bit of a dog's breakfast, not worthy of its subject matter; it also focuses mainly on the pre-Borghetti airline, and not on the airline as it is today.
In any case, a person wanting only to know about Virgin Blue's / Virgin Australia's fleet would be better served by a separate list of all of the airline's aircraft (ie owned, dry leased or wet leased), illustrated with one photo of each type, if such a photo is available on commons (that's what List of aircraft operated by Scandinavian Airlines does). The mere fact that Virgin Australia has not (yet) owned or dry leased many aircraft types is not to the point. On the contrary, that fact is notable in itself, as is the fact that in the course of its relatively short life, the airline has been transformed from a single-aircraft-type Southwest-style airline into something very different. If an airline notable enough to be included in Wikipedia has operated several different aircraft types, each of which is notable enough to have an article in Wikipedia, then that's reason enough to have an article listing all of the aircraft operated by that airline, particularly if some or all of those aircraft have left the airline's fleet, and/or if the airline's and/or its fleet strategy has radically changed. Also, most articles in Wikipedia about airlines tabulate only the current or recent fleet of the airline, not retired aircraft. That fact makes "all times" lists particularly useful.
The wet leased aircraft in List of aircraft operated by Scandinavian Airlines, and some of the other lists referred to above, were operate(d) under the lessee's flight numbers only, and the seats on those flights are/were not marketed by the lessor. The services are/were not code share services. From the passenger's perspective, these services are/were therefore operated by the lessee. If it is the industry's view that such services are nevertheless not really operated by the lessee at all (and I dispute both this view, and the view that this view is the industry's view, because wet leases are drafted by lawyers, who would be well aware that a contractual arrangement under which the owner would retain total control of the relevant asset would be a license, not a lease – see Street v Mountford), then, again, that fact in itself is notable enough to be mentioned in an appropriate list drawing a distinction between owned, dry leased and wet leased aircraft and including them all (which is what List of aircraft operated by Scandinavian Airlines does).

      • Holy WP:TLDR, Batman. Also, be careful of the WP:OTHERSTUFF arguments. - The Bushranger One ping only 19:02, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • An "other stuff" argument is essentially an argument that an article should be kept because another article exists. My arguments are not really "other stuff" arguments. Rather, my arguments include arguments that (1) this list should be kept because a similar list survived a merger discussion and the same reasons for retention apply to this list, and (2) there are two similar lists that have been made featured lists (List of aircraft operated by Braathens is also a featured list). As WP:OTHERSTUFF indicates, arguments like these are valid arguments. WP:OTHERSTUFF also says that "In categories of items with a finite number of entries where most are notable, it serves no useful purpose to endlessly argue over the notability of a minority of these items." So, eg, if a List of aircraft operated by Qantas or List of aircraft operated by Air New Zealand would survive a deletion debate, it would serve no useful purpose to have a debate about whether List of aircraft operated by Virgin Australia should be deleted. Also, if the editors who want this list to be deleted are serious in their claims that it shouldn't be in Wikipedia, they should nominate both of the similar featured lists for deletion or merger, and see what reaction they get to those nominations.

        • WP:ATA links to WP:OUTCOMES. According to WP:OUTCOMES#Lists: "Lists are generally kept if they are limited in scope, are based upon concrete criteria for inclusion, have verifiable content, and have a logical reason for their construction." All of those points apply here. (As the existing lists indicate, verification of information about what aircraft have been operated by a particular notable airline over the years is generally available in books, online versions of newspapers, and/or on reliable websites behind paywalls.) Bahnfrend (talk) 23:09, 31 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think the list satisfies the last criterion "and have a logical reason for their construction", at least your argument that "this is in the same format as the lists for other airlines' fleets" is not a logical reason. The List of SAS aircraft has over 50 entries, the list for short-lived Imperial Airways has more than 30; this one would have 10 if the ATR-72 and F100 were to be included, or eight without them - of which four are different models of the one type. Comparing this list to them is a bit disingenuous IMO, as they represent considerable extra information not contained in the parent article, whereas nothing of this list is not in the parent article, except the info regarding the two F100s and the total numbers of each type operated, which is unencyclopaedic fanboy cruft that the fanboys can find on the (non-RS) ch-aviation et al. If the Virgin Australia article is a dog's breakfast and focussing too much on its history with Brett Godfrey running the show, then edit it; the solution is not to create a new list that does nothing to address your concerns regarding the parent article.

To YSSYguy:
Nobody is suggesting that the other, similar, list articles should be deleted. As indicated above, it is pointless to argue about whether a list relating to a particular airline should be deleted from Wikipedia merely because that list is shorter than equivalent lists relating to other airlines. The important point here is that this list concerns a notable airline that has operated more than 100 aircraft of at least eight distinct types made by at least four manufacturers. The list should therefore be retained.
In that regard, it is misleading to suggest, as is suggested above, that there is no real difference between a 733 and a 73H. The two types have different length fuselages, different seating capacities, different exit configurations, different interiors, different flight decks, very different avionics, different wings, different engines, etc. Most "fanboys" and airlines would already know all of that sort of thing. For example, Virgin Australia removed the E170s from its fleet, but retained the E190s, because the former were different enough from the latter to be uneconomic to operate. But most other people have difficulty telling even the difference between a Boeing and an Airbus, and are therefore likely to be enlightened by an "all time" table showing images, brief details, and links to other articles with further, encyclopedic, information about the various types, in chronological order. The parent article does not include such a table, and there are no such tables in the "fanboy" websites.
Contrary to what is asserted above, this particular list does not include "fanboy cruft". A true example of an article with "fanboy cruft" is this article in French Wikipedia (which lists Air France's aircraft individually, with regos, exact dates of entry to and exit from the fleet, etc). If you're looking for "fanboy cruft", it's in the parent article, eg the stuff about the Boeing customer codes.
To Presidentman:
The reason a separate article is appropriate is obvious. It is quite normal for English Wikipedia to have separate articles about the company that runs a public transport system (eg British Rail, Yarra Trams) and about the infrastructure of that system (eg List of British Rail classes (which is only a short list), Trams in Melbourne), because many readers are interested in only one of those two alternatives. That's all that's being done here, and also in respect of Qantas (see Qantas and Qantas aircraft).
To both YSSYguy and Presidentman:
Much of the information in the parent article should be in the list article instead, eg, the detailed information about Virgin Blue's former policy of giving its aircraft silly names. The inclusion of such information in the parent article is one of the reasons why it is presently such a dog's breakfast; the parent article is supposed to be an article about an airline, not an article about aircraft, but at the moment it doesn't seem to know what it really is. (The British Rail article, by contrast, includes almost no information about British Rail's locomotives, and the Qantas article has information only about the current and future fleet.) Contrary to some of the assertions above, the parent article also omits significant information about the Virgin Australia fleet, eg, the reason why the A330s were acquired (to operate services to and from Perth), and that the 777s are used only on international services. However, I am not going to modify either of the Virgin Australia articles while there's still an ongoing debate about whether one of those articles should be deleted. Bahnfrend (talk) 17:28, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep We should try for a certain amount of consistency. That other very similar articles exist in Wikipedia is not a good argument; most of the time that argument is raised, either the others should also be deleted or the others are for much more important subjects. But when other articles have been consistently accepted by the community at AfD, then I think it takes an argument why this one is different and less notable (or otherwise deficient), or an argument that consensus has changed. Judging by the comments, I don't think it has. We don't follow precedent in any strict sense, nor should we, but we should be informed by it. DGG ( talk ) 19:00, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • I am in two minds about this. I think the airline is here to stay and in the future the number of aircraft used with be sufficient to justify an article as the information will be too much for the main article. That is not the case now. It is the case for the examples that this list is being compared with. So there is an argument to merge this list (i.e. make it a redirect, as there is little information to add to the main artcile), and maybe the redirect will be moved back to a list when the information in the main article gets too large. There is also an argument to say that this list should be left, as it is well written and will expand to contain more information than the main article does. I am also partly influenced by DGG's argument above, so I come down to a weak keep. --Bduke (Discussion) 04:44, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I expected to find perhaps two dozen holdings on Worldcat from specialist libraries; to my surprise, there are 245 libraries. Clearly a major publication in its subject, and published for over 60 years now. I know circulation isn't a formal criterion, but it is also indexed in full in the only major indexing service in the field, Anthropological Index Online, and that is the basic formal criterion. All this could have been found before nominating. DGG ( talk ) 06:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of Hungarian football transfers summer 2011[edit]

Delete as "excessive listing of statistics", WP:IINFO. I have removed all the unreferenced transfers, gutting the article. The transfer is important to the player, for which he should have a note at his article. Nothing more. C679 18:37, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I am trying to see what is wrong here. Transfer articles are very common on wikipedia (See articles in Category:Association football transfers).--ArsenalFan700 (talk) 18:48, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – I'm glad you removed the unsourced content but these type of lists are notable & have long been viewed as such given the amount of media coverage of the transfer window. These lists are often some of the most viewed pages on Wikipedia at certain times of the year (not specially this one). Not sure why you have single out the Hungary list? ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 19:00, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I saw a previous discussion at WT:FOOTY, questioning such lists and I thought that it doesn't give any encyclopaedic information. Sure it's popular during transfer windows, but WP:POPULARPAGE is not a reason to keep it, either. The purpose of a list is threefold, information, navigation and development. I believe this information is severely limited and of niche use only; navigation is already provided by categories such as Category:Nemzeti Bajnokság I players and development is not applicable. C679 19:44, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok I see why you targeted the Hungary article, but that is a very old discussion & I think views at WP:FOOTY have changed sustainably. Do you not remember discussing what was the best type of flag policy for these articles which was discussed for a month with many editors included & nobody questioned their notability. PS Popularpage was just a statement not my rationale. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 20:11, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I don't know about this one, as my knowledge about Hungarian football are limited, but in general these lists are notable as they have been "discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" and passes WP:LISTN. Mentoz86 (talk) 20:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed, in general these lists are notable, but is this the case for this list? Even looking at one of the references, which is in Czech, it just says Marek Heinz returned from Hungary and quotes the player expressing his happiness to return to the club. There is no explicit link with the list in question in this discussion. Also, from the 44 references in the list, only four are not sourced from a primary source (one of the clubs involved). I would be happy to see a reliable source discuss such a subject as "Hungarian football transfers summer 2011" but I have yet to see such a discussion, rather only an assumption it is notable because a similar list such as England or Germany is. Let's go on the merits of this list. C679 21:03, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes of course primary sources don't normally establish the topic's notability, but it was agreed in this discussion that primary sources where perfectly fine for transfers as news agencies frequently jump the gun, making prematurely announcements. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 21:46, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
An important caveat, mentioned in that discussion by Struway2, is that "club sources only" should apply only to current transfers and that we should not consider the situation to be the same in an historical context, i.e. a year after they happened. Anyway to me, it looks like these primary sources deal with the player and not with the transfer window itself, so both of these things considered, that's why I sent the list to AfD.

  • Delete – Transfer lists for individual clubs are not notable & total overkill, this type of content belongs in the clubs season pages. Transfer lists by nation such List of Japanese football transfers winter 2010–11 are ok however. ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 19:30, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Never Delete - Individual clubs transfer list is also notable. Not notable is just Cloudz679's opinion. I don' understant why do you delet detailed article? Transfer list By nation or Transfer list By club are both informative. As yo u Know I invest much time to write this article. But you want to delete by just your private opinion. private opionion was just 3-4 lines to write 1-2 minites. I really have spectisism on wikipedia. I crated andm improve this article 3 years. But this article can delete by just 2 person's private opinion to write 2 minites. In this manner Who contribute articles on wikepdia.03:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)06:08, 6 January 2013 (UTC) Footwiks (talk)
I really want to see only transfers page by club category like FC Barcelona, Manchester United. But In order to see transfers.....I have to look into club season page or League transfers page. But this page is not informative and not detailed. transfer lists are not accurate. South korea club transfer lists are not created before 2012 season. Article regarding transfers list by club are informative and important page. Dataes are too much and detailed. league transfer list page don't express detailed facts including transfer fee, trade person. dates. It can express just summary facts.. for example. A players from A team -> B team.

Please keep this article. I really invested much time. I investigated old newspapers and football magazines. If this article keep on wikipedia. Does Wikipedia go bankrupt? Take it easy. Don't happen to on wikepedia.Footwiks (talk)

  • Comment Before 2004 season, FC Seoul don't have all season page. Actually, I created transfer page first and somebody copied it to season page. Many people want to see transfer status at independant aritcle.Footwiks (talk)
  • No other club has a separate transfer page. C679 23:21, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't accept your reason. Many people really hope other clubs have sperated and detailed transfer page. Do you know that all football clubS don't have separate season page and records page when the wikepdia began in 2006. At that time, All wikepdia controller were lik you, Maybe We can't read football club separate season page and records pages at the momment.Footwiks (talk)
  • You don't accept his reason, but I don't accept your reason. There is no reason for there to be separate articles for each club's transfer history. Create season articles or delete this content. – PeeJay 16:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Actually, I think he is notable. This is a crude translation of the article on him in the Ukrainian WP. [106]; even the Google translation of that article gives a more readable version. he's a professor in one of the major Ukrainian medical schools, and apparently has been elected to their national academy of sciences, and is included in their national encyclopedia. I admit, tho, I cannot verify it. And although normally I accept the judgment of the other language WPs for subjects in their own national area, biographies can be an exception, since the other WPs are as liable to spamming as we are.
