Comment. Plenty of GNews (archive) hits, in Spanish and (for some reason) Norwegian. Enough of them look reliable to suggest that if the individual isn't notable, his death may be. PWilkinson (talk) 16:15, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Unlike many a capella articles about recently-founded groups, this appears to be a longstanding notable group. Apparently equivalent to The Whiffenpoofs[2], oldest group, biggest reputation, etc., even bigger than Here Comes Treble, which is the extent of my Ivy League a capella knowledge.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:21, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- That article merely makes a comparison that they are both a capella groups, not that Cayuga's Waiters is as well-known as the actually famous Whiffenpoofs.

Delete per nom. This article has very few sources, none of which are independent of the group or its university. Cornell has so many a cappella groups that they have actually formed a council to coordinate their activities. And unlike The Whiffenpoofs, there is no indication that this group's theme song has been recorded by anyone as famous as Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, or Count Basie, nor performed in a film by anyone like Cary Grant or Ginger Rogers. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:30, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing WP:NF. What also needs addressing is Author's user page is identical to the article written by that user, and User:Bansuri.Guru.Film, as a username, is in violation of WP:PRODNAME. IF this film can be verified as existing, it is at least still be worth its mention in the Hariprasad Chaurasia article... but all I've been able to find is it being on Youtube.

Delete. I've found one sole source about the film, which isn't enough to show that it passes notability guidelines. It would merit a mention in the main article about Hariprasad Chaurasia, but that's about it.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:56, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's already shown somewhere the standards for notability won't be as strict, but it's fairly light. I'm willing to change my vote to neutral for the time being.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 23:20, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (read rationale) This IS notable. Documentary on a world famous musician by his son this is going to be an important movie. I have collected 1 or 2 sources below I am sure you'll get more sources eventually. But, yes, they have made it WP:TOOSOON.

Power Matters Alliance[edit]

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

Fails WP:ORG. As far as I can tell, there are no sources specifically about this organisation. There have been mentions in reliable sources, but the sources are really about wireless charging not this organisation. It might become notable later, but it is too soon to have an article about it yet. SmartSE (talk) 16:02, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Their standard has been widely adopted, according to good references, so they are notable. If it was just wireless charging that was notable, I'd agree with the nom, but it's the standard they developed. I suppose we could change the name of the article to that of the standard.

The result was Keep per positive consensus and the fact the article's references assure that it meets notability requirements. A peek at Google Books [6] further confirms notability. At the risk of editorializing, I found the nomination to be very unusual - I believe that spending a little more time in researching a subject would be helpful before putting it up for deletion consideration.

Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days[edit]

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

Non-notable film. Virtually no coverage outside a, local newspaper write up a handful of raw food blogs and a single scientific skeptic blog. Daniel (talk) 22:37, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm seeing write ups in two newspapers (already referenced in the article), the Michigan-based Mining Journal and California's Marin Independent Journal. These would seem to demonstrate "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" making this meet WP:GNG. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 09:32, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd argue that these two small local papers do not provide evidence of notability. Papers like this often run short pieces on special interest topics, but in my mind a couple of these do not equal notability. --Daniel (talk) 15:17, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think that an argument could be made that the number, nature, or quality of the sources doesn't establish notability, but these pieces aren't so short that they don't amount to significant coverage. There's also this segment which appeared on a local ABC affiliate. Gobōnobō ⁺ ^c 03:10, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Easy Computer Sync[edit]

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

As User:GregJackP wrote: "The article is promotional, likely fails WP:GNG, and not written as an encyclopedia article". See also Wikipedia's notability guideline for products and services.

I have more than once tried to clean the article up. But single-purpose account User:Omnipedia09 (contribs) and the page creator — single-purpose account User:Mfcmaster (contribs) — have reverted some of my work and/or deleted article maintenance templates.

It's not worth keeping such pages around. Doing so rewards the page creators, encourages them to start new low-quality articles about their products and services in the future, and encourages them to continue repeatedly violating Wikipedia policy. Unforgettableid (talk) 22:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I am sorry Unforgettableid if you find this software to be "boring niche software", as you indicated in the comments, but there are others who find it useful and relevant. It has received 9,000 downloads on CNet's download.com.[7] There are many easy transfer cables (which cost $30-$40 each), and normally they can only be used once, to transfer one time to a new windows computer, with Windows Easy Transfer. If you use Easy Computer Sync, you can drag and drop files between the computers with the easy transfer cable, thereby not rendering the cable useless. As to the notability, both Slashgear.com[8] and GizMag.com[9] has discussed this software, and Gizmag.com brought up the point that Easy Computer Sync provides another way to use the cable. Also, Unforgettableid, you keep commenting on me personally, not on the content of the article. This could be considered an ad hominem argument. I have repeatedly asked you to discuss the merits of the article in the talk page, but you have ignored these requests. Omnipedia09 (talk) 22:51, 14 January 2013 (UTC)— Omnipedia09 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Note. The above commenter has only ever edited one article: the Easy Computer Sync article. Unforgettableid (talk) 23:00, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Unforgettableid, that is precisely an ad hominem argument. Please talk about the content of the article. Omnipedia09 (talk) 23:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Actually, it is a legitimate comment under the deletion policy, and admin guidance for AfDs. It is not an ad hominem attack, as it goes to the weight of the policy arguments that are made. GregJackP Boomer! 01:20, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to contribute says: "Please disclose whether you are the article's creator, a substantial or minor contributor, or if you otherwise have a vested interest in the article; WP:AVOIDCOI." As for your request to discuss the article's notability: It might be mildly interesting for me to debate with you about whether or not the article meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for products and services. But you have already taken up too much of my time by removing maintenance templates and such, and I have too many other things to do in real life. And so I respectfully decline to debate notability with you on the article's talk page. With kind regards, --Unforgettableid (talk) 23:27, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I do not have a conflict of interest with regards to the product or article. I found the product through Wikipedia, and find the article useful and worthwhile. Unforgettableid, if you don't want to provide any reasonable arguments for why the article should be deleted, then I suggest you remove your request to delete the article. Omnipedia09 (talk) 23:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. You are a contributor to the article; that is why I wrote the above conflict-of-interest note. My arguments are at the top of this page. Now all there is to do is wait a week and see what will happen with this deletion request. There is no need for either of us to spend more time on unnecessary further discussion. Kind regards, --Unforgettableid (talk) 00:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, a mere contributor or editor of an article does not have a conflict of interest based merely on his or her editing of the article. It takes an external connection with the subject of the article, such as an employee of a company, a familial relationship, etc. A creator or major contributor should declare in an AfD, but it is not COI. GregJackP Boomer! 23:46, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A checkuser says that Omnipedia09, who claims to have "found the product through Wikipedia", is a sockpuppet of the person who created the article. Also, both the accounts edited pretty well exclusively about the products of one company, and much of the editing appears promotional in character. Conflict of interest is pretty clear. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:31, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable, per nom's quote of my earlier prod. I have no problem with a COI per JBW's comment above, however the reason initially stated did not meet policy for COI. Merely editing or contributing to an article is specifically listed as not being COI. Has an SPI been done? I'm assuming there has been, since a checkuser's involved. GregJackP Boomer! 15:47, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - While socking and a COI are not reasons to delete an article (unless they are paired with a G11 qualification), failing WP:GNG is. The references in the article are either not independent or not significant coverage of the subject (or both). A Google News search provides no independent and significant coverage from reliable sources that can be used to establish notability and either does a Google Nws Archive search. I should not though, that the archive search does produce one press release (not independent) and one article from a tech blog that I wouldn't necessarily consider significant coverage. Even if it did, one article will not satisfy WP:GNG especially since it's about three and a half years old and apparently the only time the product was ever written about. If the subject were notable, you would think it would have gained more than one small piece of coverage over that period of time. OlYeller21^Talktome 21:24, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all. Manga chapters aren't arbitrarily grouped pages in graphic novels of Japanese origin. They are more akin to television episodes. They are published separately in specialized magazines and in case of success released in collected form (tankōbon), just like television episodes may be released on DVD. A manga's chapter titles are equivalent to an anime's episode titles. Readers will expect to find both in the main article of a short series. For longer series, we routinely create spin-out articles called "List of XXX episodes" and "List of XXX chapters" (here a couple hundred examples). For insanely long series (Kochikame (this series) happens to be the longest), we split episode lists into season lists with a "list of seasons" as their parent article. The chapter equivalents to "lists of seasons" we create are "lists of manga volumes". Now, I'd say that ten featured list (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (bolded ones from the same series)) establish quite clearly that the end product of this type of page is desirable Wikipedia content. Content which won't be created via incremental improvement to a page which is already too long to hold chapter titles, transliterations of chapter titles, translations of chapter titles and plot summaries, which has a scope limiting it to the manga volumes and provides no point of entry for inexperienced editors incapable of figuring out how to use that complicated template. Of course we could take the general lack of activity on Kochikame related pages as evidence of the series' low notability and assume that these pages will never amount to anything. On the other hand, it could have something to do with the fact that this series, which happens to be immensely popular in Japan and in continuous production since 1976, has not been released in English. Systemic bias anyone? Good raise 01:49, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Goodraise I can see why you want to keep these articles as they very well might be useful to use in the future for other purposes, but looking at "What links here" the only things that lead to these pages are wikipedia's mainspace and userpages, seeing that these lists are not in the mainspace they do count as lists. I would support a Userfy here. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 04:16, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I take it, you acknowledge that chapter lists once finished are useful. So the problem you have with these lists is not what's in them, but what's still missing. Right? If so, I don't see how you can still consider them to be in violation of NOTDIR or redundant to the list of volumes. I also don't see the relevance of incoming links. List articles split primarily because of excessive size (as was the case here) rarely get a lot of directly incoming links. Readers (aka. potential editors) navigate to them by following "Main article:" links down the hierarchy from the corresponding series article (which in this case has a plentiful amount of incoming links). As for userfication, that's a total non sequitur. If you think, as it would seem, that chapter titles are desirable Wikipedia content, then the alternative to keeping the articles would be merging them back into the list of volumes (turning it into a list of chapters again).

Procedural renom. The nominator of the original AfD requested undeletion after coming to the conclusion some sources do demonstrate notability. Overriding community consensus would be a bad thing, but a closer examination could be well warranted. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the source I found. Notability is clearly lower for webcomics than most others (see similar arguments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Schlock Mercenary), and for a webcomic to get detailed coverage such as this is clearly a solid argument of notability. Also, this seems entirely superfluous to renominate IMO. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 21:52, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per my previous rationale -- worth note that a lot of the argument before was whether or not the sources found previously were "good enough", and TPH has decided that answer is now "yes". Since he was one of the major advocates for having it deleted in the first place, I'd think that's good enough rationale for keeping it now. I don't think this warrants a procedural renomination. Veled (talk) 23:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The author, not seen since 2009, was an admin and bureaucrat, but with quite a considerable history on their talk page of copyvio problems and AfDs, etc. The reason given for requesting speedy was "There is no any reliable source for this deity.

Keep. It looks to me like she's notable, even if she's only 10 or 11 years old. Among her multiple TV and movie appearances, she had a role (I don't know how large) in a successful movie (Hannah Montana); reliable sources have reported on the clothing line that she promotes (and that has her name on it); and Google search results (~782,000 hits, mostly to YouTube and various fansites) suggest that she has a substantial fan base. --Orlady (talk) 20:18, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well there are 4 credits at IMDb - an ER episode, the film you mention, a short and a video. For the last 3 she is not on the first page of credits which would indicate a minor part. That's not WP:NACTOR notability. As to the fashion line that she helped design at the age of eight, and the prurient interest from Fox News and the Daily Mail, that's a single event. And Youtube and fansites don't determine notability here. Mcewan (talk) 00:58, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have very little patience for pop culture, so I am not a good judge of the significance of things like the sequence of names on IMDB pages. Please excuse my ignorance on that point. Regardless of that ignorance, the Fox News and Daily Mail items constitute reliably sourced coverage of this girl; the judgment that their interest is prurient does not have bearing on her notability -- and her being in a popular movie and promoting a line of clothes are separate events, not a WP:BLP1E situation. WP:NACTOR speaks of "large fan base"; the existence of more than 700,000 ghits on her full name (all three names, in quotes) is suggestive of a large fan base; we don't have to cite all of those pages in order to be able to count them as an indication of something. Some of those hits probably are reliable publications -- I am not familiar with the fan zines that 8-year-old girls read, so I can't tell. --Orlady (talk) 05:05, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

EVOLUTION AND STATUS OF KALAPAI INDUSTRIES IN MELUR[edit]

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

Kalapai appears to be the Tamil word for plow. As such, this article would be eligible for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#A10 except that it is written in such poor English that it is not immediately obvious that the article really means to talk about the current state of plow-making in a particular village Melur in Tamil Nadu. The article also seems to claim (again, this is uncertain due to the extremely poor English in which it is written) that the concept of an iron plow was unknown in India prior to 1948. However, according to History of agriculture in the Indian subcontinent (a well-sourced article if not a definitive source), references to iron plows go back to the Vedic period (1000 - 500 BCE). Clearly, either this article's facts are wrong, or its exposition is so flawed that it cannot properly present the facts it is attempting to present.

Comment G1 does not apply to bad English or machine translations.

Keep (obviously as I'm the article creator). The article was never intended to satisfy NFOOTBALL (which it doesn't), but rather GNG, based on a significant and growing number of secondary sources, including several newspapers and BBC Sport. DevaCat (talk) 00:52, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Being the last person on a list of over 1,200 people is not a reason for notability.

Howicus (talk) 17:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The wikilink is a difficult call.

Delete I don't see how she qualifies as notable.

Looks like he passes WP:NFOOTY, but the article should still be deleted for failing WP:GNG per Paul_012. Mentoz86 (talk) 14:21, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - this is a tough one, as many of the sources available don't confirm any first team appearances. However, this source indicates he's made six appearances in the Thai Premier League (and scored a couple of goals), and this match report on a rival team's website confirms at least one of those appearances; this league is listed as a fully professional league meaning that he would pass WP:NFOOTBALL. I don't know if he passes the general notability guideline too - the only sources on the article right now are a stats page and a very brief news article which on their own wouldn't be enough to pass that guideline. I found one or two news reports in Thai but I doubt they would be enough to confer notability either. So, it's a keep !vote from me on the basis that he just about passes a specific guideline, but a weak one due to a lack of available sources. ★ Bald Zebra ★ ^talk 16:20, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The first linked source doesn't indicate six appearances. It says he played in the 2012 and 2011 seasons wearing number 3. He's played in several matches; these reports are from some of them in 2012.[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] --Paul_012 (talk) 06:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Delete (see comments below) - Not sure where Lukeno94 is "getting the fails GRG by a mile" thing from, googling his name in Thai brings back nearly 90,000 results. Now I don't speak Thai, but a lot of the web addresses look like news sites and other football related sites. I can't comment on the reliability of them all, but there is no way someone without knowledge of Thai can claim without justification that a player who's native name is not written in roman script clearly fails GNG. As it has been shown that he has played multiple times in a fully professional league, the number of sources clearly related to football that a google search of his Thai name bring back would suggest to me that he does in all probability fulfill WP:GNG, if only we had a Thai speaker to confirm. Fenix down (talk) 14:00, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please remind me where ghits was remotely a reliable test for notability? Especially as you don't have any knowledge of Thai, so we have no idea what they are. Take a random Evesham United F.C. player without an article, Jake Meredith. He has 7.2 million ghits. And still fails WP:GNG. Your argument doesn't convince me in the slightest, but the others showing him to have played matches do - so I'm changing my vote to Keep. Lukeno94 (talk) 14:07, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't and that's not my point. My point is that you don't speak Thai (and neither does anyone else in this thread) so blunt comments like "fails GNG" are not valid, because you cannot tell. The reason you can tell with Jake Meredith is because you speak English. To narrow the search, here are 2,000 ghits for a search for "Tanasak Srisai" and Buriram United FC. Could you please tell me what any of these sources are about? No, you can't. Neither you, nor anyone else in this discussion are able to make any comment about the reliability of these potential sources. No claim of "fails GNG" so far has any validity, because there is no one in the discussion including myself who haseven the vaguest ability to read the language that majority of sources would be in. This is not to say that the article should stay or go, merely to observe the point that there is no merit in any of the points that have been made here. My view is that there is every chance that the player achieves GNG, we just can't tell and we should take it on good faith until shown otherwise.

Comment: Not going to !vote since I'm not familiar with the specific guidelines, but I'd like to point out that some of the above "delete" !votes may have been rather premature. The subject has played multiple games for Buriram United.[23][24] He will also be on the national team for the King's Cup next week.[25] --Paul_012 (talk) 06:30, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Would the playing in the King's Cup count as a full international appearance? It appears to be a friendly tournament (sometimes involving League XIs and youth teams), whereas the specific guideline calls for appearance in a FIFA-sanctioned senior tournament. On the other hand, the links you've provided prove that he has played in a fully professional league, which satisfies the other specific criteria. In that case, I'm striking my vote. ★ Bald Zebra ★ ^talk 10:13, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - the subject has played in the Thai Premier League, which is listed as a fully professional league and therefore meets the specific guideline for footballers.

Comment / Delete - could someone please provide a translation for the Thai, I can see the players name is mentioned, but am not sure of the context. Maybe it is my browser but I cannot copy/paste the text on those pages. Is there any proof he actually played. Regardless, the fact that his name brings back precisely 49 Ghits including WP, suggests that he probably fails WP:GNG, particularly since a lot of these articles deal with the upcoming King's come and give specific mention to the fact that a number of people have been rested including their goalkeeper (and I assume as he is the third mentioned keeper, he is the third choice keeper as it is not in alphabetical order). He does seem pretty close to qualifying and seems he will have an article in the future, but not just atthe moment. Fenix down (talk) 12:56, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Changed my mind based on my comment here. Player has played in a fully professional league and his name pulls back over 40,000 google hits when entered in Thai script. I would prefer to err on the side of caution and note that quite few of the links seem to be football related and as such are probably reliable sources for attaining WP:GNG. I am a little concerned that there are a lot of blunt "delete" comments when there does not seem to be anyone here who can speak Thai and is genuinely capable of commenting on WP:GNG. Fenix down (talk) 14:55, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - He's contracted to a Thai Premier League club. However, can either of the two people whom have voted Keep verify that he has actually played a game for this club? In my search, he hadn't.

Comment. There does seem to be an indication here from Paul012, who reads Thai that this player fails GNG due to lack of reliable sources even in Thai. Fenix down (talk) 15:52, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[Moved from above to make more visible] I speak Thai, and having looked through the first few pages of Google results, haven't found what I consider to be in-depth coverage by independent reliable sources. There are database websites noting basic information (age, weight & height) but the news articles mentioning him are brief. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:35, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
As noted above, I'm not sure how the guidelines should be implemented in the case where a player passes WP:NFOOTY but fails WP:GNG. There are a whole lot of articles on such Thai football players, though. If this ends up deleted then the whole Category:Thai football biography stubs will probably need to be checked. --Paul_012 (talk) 16:08, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The great majority of these sorts of articles fail GNG, but if it passes NFOOTBALL, then it should be kept. It's been established that it does pass that. Lukeno94 (talk) 16:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lukeno94 - WP:NSPORTS (which NFOOTBALL is a part of) states "Please note that ... the meeting of any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept." and that "standalone articles are required to meet the General Notability Guideline." This means that all footballers that has played in the Thai Premier League (or any fully pro league), but fails WP:GNG, should be deleted. Mentoz86 (talk) 14:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Flower punctuation mark[edit]

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

See also WT: Noticeboard for India-related topics #Flower punctuation mark ⁕. Apparently not notable enough. Even it is notable, then a red link is better than a stub based on yet another piece of Unicode Consortium's trash. When I contacted the author (off-wiki), he replied that the only source was a chart from unicode.org. Unicode’s list of characters is notorious for its incompetence, especially on names of characters. I propose to delete the stub and make ⁕ a disambiguation between General Punctuation (currently a redirect, but may eventually become an article about the Unicode block), Flower, and Red Hot Chili Peppers who uses this symbols as their logo.

"phul" (more properly फूल) is simply Hindi for "flower", and "puspika" (पुष्पिका) is simply Nepali for "flower". It's fairly easy to turn up grammars and other sources that tell one outright that Bengali gets most of its punctuation from English, and that before the influx of English punctuation marks, which most attribute to Vidyasagar (although some state that it wasn't all his doing), Bengali had just two punctuation marks (danda and double-danda). This mark is neither of those. Uncle G (talk) 20:48, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge Agree with Uncle G on this; there appears to be no flower punctuation in the Assamese and Bangla languages; the danda (or dadi) and doubled versions seem to be the only traditional punctuation and modern punctuation is derived from European languages. There do exist Unicode flower symbols, for instance 'FLOWER' (U+2698) and 'FLOWER PUNCTUATION MARK' (U+2055); the latter is presumably what is meant here. Update: There is a page listing star glyphs that looks like a good candidate for merging this symbol. Mark viking (talk) 20:59, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for reasons listed above. I also agree with Mark viking that a small blurb about the character itself (not its supposed South Asian usage) on the Star (glyph) page would also be appropriate. Bensci54 (talk) 23:11, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge for reasons listed above. It looks similar to an asterisk, which sometimes appears in Indic publications, but that is an artifact of European typography and the "flower" is not an Indic mark that I am familiar with. Has anyone presented a scan showing an example of its use? I was able to locate a discussion of a mark referred to as "flower" by the Vedic Extensions working group for Unicode on page 2 of their notes at [[34]]. That group noted that the mark was in the general punctuation category of Unicode and so they set it aside for Vedic standardization. The committee must have thought it had some relevance as a Vedic mark because those minutes report "The symbol flower 0974 in N3235 was removed from the revised proposal N3290 because a flower symbol is included as U+2055 in the General Punctuation page [2000-206F] of the Unicode Standard." In another Vedic marks working group paper [[35]] there is a mention that "There are many decorative flower symbols used as fillers. There seems to be a need to define some separate area for decorative symbols such as Flower 0974." That suggests they considered the mark to be decorative in nature, not a form of punctuation. The group did propose standardizing U+1CF1 as a mark called "VAIDIKA PUSHPIKA" but the mark does not have a symmetrical star shape. The final version put this mark as "DEVANAGARI SIGN PUSHPIKA" AT U+A8F8 with a usage note that it is often used as a placeholder or filler, often flanked by double dandas. [36].

Keep Randykitty started the discussion to delete the entry of EMBnet.Journal. I do not agree that one user alone has the authority to delete an entry related to the journal published by the oldest bioinformatics organisation (est 1988) created by EMBO in the first years of the disciple that today we call Bioinformatics. This journal is following the most strict philosophy of Open Access and strict rules of peer review. To vote for deleting an Open Access journal because it does not pay to Elsevier indexing services is a contradiction in the rules and a contradiction with the Wikipedia philosophy of Open Access. [EMBnet.journal]] has a huge reader community in many continents where Universities cannot afford paying for the expensive subscription methods used by more traditional publishers. I think that Randykitty can be very alone in the opinion of deleting this entry if we take in account the opinion of the big reader community that this journal has. I vote for Keep.

Comment Please read WP:AFD: no user alone has the authority to delete an entry, the community will decide. Also note that to be included in databases is free for any qualifying journal, I don't know of any respectable indexing service that charges journals to cover them (this includes Scopus and the Science Citation Index). Things may be different for services that provide access to journals, of course, as they are basically re-sellers. That the journal is published by a possibly notable organization is interesting, but notability is not inherited. Being open access is certainly not justification alone for having an article here (note that there exist nowadays many so-called "predatory" OA journals, trying to make a fast buck; of course I am not implying that this is the case here). If this journal has indeed such a huge reader base, then certainly there exist independent reliable sources that establish notability. If you know of any such sources, please add them to the article and I'll withdraw the nomination. But in the absence of such evidence, I maintain my opinion that this rather new journal is not notable and that, at best, this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. --Randykitty (talk) 14:45, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The EMBnet.journal is not a new journal, it has a very long tradition. It is the successor of EMBnet.news magazine, published by EMBnet and which first issue was released in the far 1994. From 1994 to 2009 EMBnet.news published 44 issues giving voice and visibility to the most advanced bioinformatics laboratories in Europe and responding to the need of hundreds of researchers who needed support for both the development of their own bioinformatics infrastructures and best practice in the field. The decision to move forward a peer-reviewed edition was taken in 2009 because of the growing interest in the journal from outside the EMBnet community. Publication in the EMBnet.journal is free of charge and is carried out by few people working for free and hardly in the name of the EMBnet community, which is spread all over the world and that strongly believes in the value of cooperation and collaboration for research advance. The EMBnet.journal has a big community of users who benefit of its publication, the presence or the absence of EMBnet.journal in Wikipedia will not change much in the life and success of the Journal but for sure will change most in the opinion of many people on what is the true meaning of open access and democratic research. ~~I vote for keep.~~ --Domenica999 (talk) 16:33, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Howicus and Randykitty, you cannot have deep and/or long knowledge about the European and Global Bioinformatics community. EMBnet.journal is the continuation of EMBnet.news the official journal of EMBnet. In EMBnet.news, a very specialized magazine for informaticians in the field of Biology, many of the first bioinformatics tools and databases were for the first time presented, more notability in the area of Bioinformatics is difficult to achieve. In the 90´s the first articles published around new bioinformatics tools and databases were published on Meeting Proceedings and online systems. EMBnet.news was created to fill in a need in the young bioinformatics community. Most leading bioinformaticians in Europe have published in EMBnet.news: just to give a list: ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/embnet.news/ here you can dig into Bioinformatics History. Some of the most used databases and tools today (EMBL-database (nucleotides), SwissProt (proteins), ClustalW (multiple alignment), EMBOSS (Classic collection of bioinformatics tools)) were once announced in EMBnet.news. I think that some more people will soon provide you with more information, but please take your time and read the issues of the journal (1994-2012) before voting delete. 14 January 2013 Leifuria (talk) 19:09, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Some articles in EMBnet.news are cited more than 400 times, Some examples:

(1997) GeneDoc: analysis and visualization of genetic variation, KB Nicholas, HB Nicholas Jr, DW Deerfield - EMBNET news, 2009 EMBnet.journal as its continuation has already articles cited more than 20 times: Cutadapt removes adapter sequences from high-throughput sequencing reads, M Martin - EMBnet. journal, 2011 - journal.embnet.org The extensive citation record to EMBnet.news and EMBnet.journal is proof enough of the journals notability and importance for the Life Sciences community. Leifuria (talk) 19:38, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've added a secondary ref from a reliable publisher in the field. The main question in my mind is whether EMBnet.journal is different enough from EMBnet.news to be considered a new journal. If so, this may be a case of WP:TOOSOON unless we can find another secondary source. If it isn't a new journal, then EMBnet.news does have a lot of history behind it and secondary sources such as [37] and [38]; in this case, the article should be kept. Mark viking (talk) 21:31, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Leifuria, I could now start this comment by saying "you cannot have deep and/or long knowledge about Wikipedia", but don't you think that such would perhaps be counterproductive? Howicus and I are not here to somehow destroy worthy things, we're here to build an encyclopedia (have a look at AGF). And you shouldn't judge people by their pseudonyms here either: for all you know, we're well-established European bioinformaticians... So, to explain WP a bit: "notable" in the WP sense has nothing to do with "worthy", "valuable', "good" or "bad". It simply means that something has been noted. And that has to be established by independent reliable sources. Thus, there is no need to "read the issues of the journal" and arrive at a totally subjective judgment about its contents. Just a few good sources will be sufficient. Whether I, or anybody else, thinks this is an important publication or not is completely immaterial. As for the citation data that you mention: citation analysis is tricky. Even assuming for the moment that EMBnet.journal could inherit its notability from EMBnet.news, a search on the Web of Science (less sensitive to false positives than GS) indicates that only 83 items have been cited one or more times, which is not a very impressive number. On a more general note to the different SPA (single-purpose account) editors popping up here: AFD is not a vote. The outcome of this discussion will not be decided by counting votes but by evaluating policy-based arguments. Hope this explains this process ale to be fou bit and will help you navigate WP. --Randykitty (talk) 22:00, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The 3 apparent SPAs concern me greatly. Especially as all 3 have suddenly come out of the woodwork after months, or more, of not editing to vote here. The number of visits each year is not evidence for notability. A lot of these so-called "citing articles" don't, on the face of it, appear to have anything to do with this journal, and if they do, they're not all exactly WP:RS. Also, I'm pretty sure that arguing the journal is notable for having notable editors fails WP:INHERIT, as does any links between EMBnet.news and EMBnet.journal. I have not, however, searched for sources myself, and as such, won't vote. Lukeno94 (talk) 21:41, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Hi, Lukeno94, I can undertand your concern, but this entry was created 6 months ago without anyone reacting. It was only when one week ago the page started an upgrade to follow the Wikipedia format that Randykitty reacted against. Randykitty started his/her work with Wikipedia articles just two months ago, Howicus history in Wikipedia is mostly related to deletion of pages. Some users are very focused to a few articles of their expertise and do not see themselves as experts in all areas of Wikipedia therefore the activity is related to subjects that are of their expertise, which is good for Wikipedia. Leifuria (talk) 12:45, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The length of time an article has been at Wikipedia is irrelevant - I've seen articles that are several years old get deleted in their first AfD. Randykitty's (perceived) inexperience is also not a valid reason for arguing against the AfD - 2 months is more than enough to familiarize yourself with the basics of WP:GNG. I've now run a quick Google search myself, and all I can find is a few blog sites, forum posts, direct links and primary sources. Nothing that satisfies GNG, which asks for non-trivial, in-depth coverage in multiple reliable sources. Thus, I will vote Merge to EMBnet - outright deletion here is not the right procedure, but this stubby article can easily be included in the main EMBnet article.

Merge Thinking about it, EMBnet.journal is more than just a name change, the publishing model greatly changed as well, so it can't really be thought of as the same journal. EMBnet.journal is verifiable and has at least one secondary reference, as noted in my comment above. While it may fall below threshold for notability, it is a good candidate for merging to EMBnet. As a relatively new journal, this topic has WP:POTENTIAL; anyone recommending delete rather than merge should justify why deletion is necessary, as merge is the preferred action for such topics. Mark viking (talk) 16:48, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - would seem to absolutely fail WP:CORPDEPTH. Begging for mercy doesn't really help - you need to tell your employers that Wikipedia has specific criteria to determine what should be included in this encyclopaedia and that at the moment, their company does not meet those criteria. Primary among them is Wikipedia's general notability guideline which requires "significant coverage" in reliable sources. Facts and claims also need to be verified by reliable sources. Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages or a guide to music companies and whether the article is written from a neutral point of view or not, Wikipedia is still not the place to raise awareness of or advertise for your company. If you want the article to be kept then you will need to demonstrate that the company is notable. Beyond that, editing with a very obvious conflict of interest is always strongly discouraged. So even if the company were notable, the article itself should really be written by neutral editors who are not employees of the company itself. Stalwart111 23:23, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contribution from two now-blocked sock-puppets.

Keep as notable person in the film industry, significant role as a film producer and quite significant role as an Productions Executive in New Line Cinema, I am the only one here relying on sources. Josh Wood has been involved in 14 worldwide noticeable film projects including The Hobbit: There and Back Again (2014); The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013); The Conjuring (2013); Jack the Giant Slayer (2013); The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012); Journey 2: The Mysterious Island (2012); New Year's Eve (2011); Horrible Bosses (2011); Valentine's Day (2010); The Final Destination (2009); Appaloosa (2008); Hairspray (2007); Final Destination 3 (2006).

The article has been on Wikipedia for years, after correcting/adding references all of the sudden it was considered for deletion. The main reference is IMDb and IMDb Pro which shows significance of the person and the notability of facts through many 3rd party websites. Studio executives don't get as much attention as actors working on films, that's a fact. So, far no one here really about filmmaking industry.

"If the person was not significant he would never be published in the Getty Images with BAFTA winning actress Helena Bonham Carter. --AllisonID (talk) 16:52, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Gtwfan52 I am new in Wikipedia but I decided to contribute yesterday by adding/corrected links to improve the article not get it deleted.

User:Gtwfan52 Many other international articles are not self edited. However administrators ignore all the sources by trying to prove their side of view. That is not neutral.

Notability established through many other international articles. If you dont understand some of the articles, you can use Google translate which translates whole page at the click --AllisonID (talk) 17:35, 14 January 2013 (UTC) [reply]

User:Gtwfan52 The sources are published on the article. Even BBC is not reliable source as anyone can tell lies and that can be published on their channel, website and other media quickly picks it up. It was a big scandal in the UK about notability of such a large media corporation. (refer to the case of Jimmy Savile when the accused man was not even involved in the case) and after that BBC faced the large criticism from the public and the government. This clearly means that there are no NOTABLE sources except documentaly proven facts. In this case the ENTIRE Wikipedia can be wiped off as all of the articles lacking the actual NOTABLE and reliable sources. --AllisonID (talk) 17:51, 14 January 2013 (UTC) [reply]

Keep The article being attacked. IMDb and other international sources standing strong for the significance and importance of the person. The article has been on Wikipedia for more than 2 years and now being attacked and administrators have strong desire to get rid of the article. Other articles about actors and producers must be deleted as well as their sources are not notable nor reliable at all. Anyone can say anything to the journalists but that is not a prove of the fact nor it's notability! IMDb is reliable source worldwide. If you could easily submit information on IMDb without confirmation check run by the staff, I think everyone would have an IMdb page like we all do have a facebook page. --EmilyGlat (talk) 19:03, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

More like this AfD keeps getting vandalized by SPAs. He hasn't directed a notable film, and nor has he had a major role in one. Thus, he fails WP:NACTOR. IMDb is a long, long way from passing WP:RS. As for my search for sources: [39] appears to be someone else, as does this [40], and the majority of sources I can find are on this person. So this Josh Wood fails WP:GNG as well. In fact, to be honest, I would almost suggest nuking this article, and rewriting it about the hairdresser, whom actually appears to be notable! (there are also multiple mentions of him in styling articles online, and the like, such as [41], [42] as two examples) Delete this current article certainly. Lukeno94 (talk) 22:34, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this has a snowball's chance of being kept. The subject is clearly not notable and the desperate sock-spam here is hilarious.

Yes, I realize that our article doesn't even mention that RM/V2 had 333 rules, or that Rule Zero was an addition to the original twelve rules from 1985, or really explain any of the history adequately. Anyone reading this should feel free to take the three sources that I've just added to the article, or indeed any of the many more that exist that I didn't, in hand and make it better explain all this, if only for the benefit of the people on the talk page who have been wondering why there are thirteen rules since 2004. ☺

Delete without prejudice to recreation of specific articles. There are a few sources there for specific contexts, but that's not really what you want for an article (unless the article is a list, which this clearly doesn't qualify for.) But split out, these topics are too narrow to stand alone, though I honestly don't know where you might merge/redirect them.

Jeopardy! broadcast history (3rd nomination)[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

In my opinion, a separate article on the broadcast history of a television program is completely unnecessary and inappropriate for Wikipedia. I have relocated all useful content from this article into the main Jeopardy! article. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, and this project page states, "Notability of a parent entity or topic (of a parent-child tree) does not always imply the notability of the subordinate entities." For these reasons, I feel that no amount of notability pertaining to the broadcast history of any television program ever conceived will ever be able to warrant an entirely separate article from the parent article. Plus, I want the parent article to balance the focus it places on the Art Fleming versions with the focus it places on the Alex Trebek version. — Seth Allen (discussion/contributions) Monday, January 14, 2013, 02:30 UTC.

keep Jeopardy's broadcast history is more complex than most shows. There is enough notable content available to sustain an article. I can see an argument to merge. Is this correct procedure for a merge, move content to the main article and submit the other article to AfD? I have a strong bias against resubmissions to AfD. Its almost like double jeopardy.Tjc (talk) 05:32, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment That's a good question, and the answer is generally no, that is generally not advised procedure for a merge. Suggest that nominator start a merge discussion and close this discussion unless the nominator's intent is to argue that the content of this article has no place on Wikipedia (which does not appear to be the nominator's intent). For what it's worth, I think this is probably an appropriate split of the parent article, given the length of the resulting section, although I echo the nominator's skepticism that this subtopic is really independently notable (bearing in mind as I do that Jeopardy! has a lengthy and interesting history). ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 14:11, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The sources in the article demonstrate that this topic is in accordance with WP:N. This is a very reasonable WP:SPINOFF of the Jeopardy! article, which is currently at around 100 kilobytes in size. Per WP:SIZERULE, articles this size should "Almost certainly should be divided," although this is a guideline and rule of thumb. Northamerica1000^(talk) 01:55, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep!! - Given the concerns that all of you people have addressed and the guidelines set forth in WP:SIZERULE, although various main articles on U.S. television programs have over the years been allowed to exceed 100 kilobytes in size (which is part of why I wanted to make the parent of the article discussed here the first game-show article to achieve that distinction), I guess this spinoff is indeed reasonable and the broadcast history of Jeopardy! – unlike those of most other shows – is independently notable enough for a separate article. I am sorry that I had to nominate this child article for deletion in the first place; I felt that I would side with one of those "deletionists" who want to limit the contents of Wikipedia on the basis of notability – which I have seen said is purely subjective and outright questionable. I have decided to condense the "Broadcast history" section in the main article to just a couple of short paragraphs and a link to the child article, let the child article speak the rest of the information for itself, and have this discussion closed. - Seth Allen (discussion/contributions), Tuesday, January 15, 2013, 15:37 UTC.

Thanks you all for attention paid to my page on Komera Rwanda. I only tried to explain what's the aim of Association and what Komera Rwanda does in Africa. Komera Rwanda is a non-profit association and there is no economic interest in publicizing it. The page describe objectively the facts and activities of Komera Rwanda (without further comments, praise or exaggeration)and all of these are documented by references. I should like that Komera Rwanda has a page on English Wikipedia to allow at non-speakers of Italian language to know the existence of the association. The only advertising that I would get is to raise awareness of our work, alongside that of many other voluntary humanitarian non-profit associations, in order to improve the conditions of the poorest people in the world.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH and also, in my opinion, WP:RS. Organization is still too small and local to be notable, and no realistic indication that it will become notable in time.

2013 Aurora shooting[edit]

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

Just another US shooting, not notable, fails WP:NOT#NEWS and WP:N/CA, contested prod. WWGB (talk) 10:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sadly, such incidents are fairly common. This one isn't extraordinary or sufficiently notable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. It's receiving an exceptional amount of media attention because it took place in the same town as last year's cinema massacre, which appears to have been the primary motivation behind the article's creation. (Before WWGB intervened, it focused more on this coincidence than it did on the facts of the January 5 shooting, with multiple mentions of the movie theater's proximity, its photograph in the infobox, and a claim that the two events were "similar".) My heart goes out to the people who lost loved ones in this shooting, but it doesn't inherit the notability of the massacre that occurred nearby. —David Levy 11:07, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~STRONG~~ Weak Keep Article is properly sourced, even has sources from international news organizations. This passes WP:NEVENTS, WP:GNG, WP:GEOSCOPE, WP:DIVERSE. WP:INDEPTH. Also keep per WP:RAPID JayJay^{What did I do?} 17:40, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to weak keep because it passes WP:GNG but doesn't seem to be a big event. JayJay^{What did I do?} 23:48, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's why our guidelines are tagged with a notation that they're "best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." A topic that's received significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject usually is sufficiently notable, but this is an exception. (As discussed, the event received such coverage because of its coincidental proximity to an earlier event, not because it was highly noteworthy in and of itself.) We mustn't blindly adhere to the letter of WP:GNG instead of recognizing the spirit. —David Levy 00:04, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep. As JayJay said, the article is properly sourced and meets the WP:GNG; the question (as was the question with 2012 Webster, New York shooting) is rather or not this is appropriate for Wikipedia. Like with the Webster shooting, I think it is too early to tell, but since it meets the GNG, we ought to keep it for now. Re-nom if it is later shown to be insignificant.

Wait the full week before making a determination on this AfD. It's too early to tell whether this is going to turn out to be notable. Right now this look like a nonnotable event that doesn't merit its own article (although it might belong on a list of shootings). However, there's still very little information available about the background of this event. Let's wait a few days (at least) to see what develops. --Orlady (talk) 21:45, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wait/comment - I'll have to agree with what Orlady said above. It's just too early to see the lasting effects, if any, the event will have. There has been more than enough sources, however, if the July 2012 shooting in the same city did not happen, then this event will only have routine coverage. -- LuK3 (Talk) 22:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP FOR NOW -- For at least the next two weeks. Too little is currently known about whether there were enough similarities between this and the July 2012 Aurora incident to make this story newsworthy in the long run.

On what do you base the assertion that "too little is currently known about whether there were enough similarities between this and the July 2012 Aurora incident"?

Comment Actually, in response to the prodding of List of fastest-selling products, and many other articles simultaneously, I responded: "[This article should be AFD'd instead] because I think...this article, like the other articles which you have prodded for deletion, are not worthy of deletion, and rather than argue with you one on one I think a community discussion would be much more fruitful... especially in regard to the directory-type articles - a new form of article that many editors showed their support for at one of the AFD discussions".

While I'm not opposed to reversion to a previous redirect, I can't really see how either of the subjective words in the title (especially in combination) could ever be quantified sufficiently to form a coherent article or even a "meaning" enough for a worthwhile redirect. We would be redirecting because it has the word "luxuries" in it, but should we then also create "unaffordable luxuries" and redirect that too? The sources don't even seem to agree on a definition and one is clearly just an advertisement for a company that offers products under the (very) broad moniker of "affordable luxuries". Who is to decide what is affordable? Who is to decide what is a luxury item? It's all very abstract and the one reliable source is basically an op-ed with the author's take on what it might mean. It sets the benchmark at US$200 - beyond the average annual wage in many 3rd world countries. Hardly affordable. So what that source would actually support is an article titled, Luxury items that could potentially be considered affordable to those living in the US with an annual household income of USD$100K or more. Yeah, no. Stalwart111 01:57, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I've sort of revamped the page. Here's my issue: even when stated that the term is predominantly used by Western and European countries and stressing that it differs depending on the income, this is little more than a dictionary definition. It also suffers from it being a potential neologism. It's more predominantly used than other terms and has been in use since at least 2008, but it's still sort of a neologism. At the very best we might transfer something over to Wiktionary, but I'm not seeing a lot out there to merit an actual entry because it's so subjective depending on the individual. A $10 dinner isn't an "affordable luxury" to someone in Africa or even to some living in the United States.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:16, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As far as I see, no brittish artist walking by the streets of Rio would be able to meet WP:GNG with YouTube videos. Also, even with it, it would still probably fail WP:MUSIC, as he has not released an album, or released a single.... or nothing, really. He seems to have got a record contract, but until he releases an album and becomes widely known, he can't have an article. Heck, I have released 7 singles and 3 extended plays and I still don't meet GNG :( — ΛΧΣ²¹ 00:37, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On the fence here - I did find a couple more reliable sources:

Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. References are not independent of subject. Appears to fail WP:BIO. reddogsix (talk) 18:54, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Although he has founded a company, Vitamine C, I haven't found any coverage for that but I have found some links for Julia White Group (French) here, here (only mentions him through the photo), here (the same topic as the previous link but this actually mentions in the text), here (NASCAR as the same topic), here (relevant text is not shown in preview), here (another brief mention) and a blog here (in which Alain himself comments in the "comments" section). Like his Wikipedia article, his LinkedIn profile doesn't provide much of a career and mainly for Julia White. If an article existed for Julia White, I would have suggested redirecting. Too soon and he hasn't established any notability for himself. SwisterTwister talk 19:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Uniform of the Air Cadet Organisation[edit]

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

Lack of apparent notability and suitability to be in an encyclopaedia. Whilst this may be of interest to members of the organisation, I fail to see the relevance to anyone who is not a member of the organisation. Lack of reliable sources cited indicating significant coverage. Rob 301 (talk) 19:20, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as the detail standards for the uniforms fail WP:GNG. (Perhaps the editor may consider adding to the main article for Air Cadet Organisation as that is barely more than a stub.)Blue Riband► 00:04, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had thought about doing this, but as I understand it, this article was diverged from the main article on the Air Training Corps, which is itself already far too long and too detailed in my humble opinion. The Air Cadet Organisation is an article which, having looked at it, could well be merged into the Air Training Corps, and a redirect left. Any thoughts on this? Rob 301 (talk) 00:27, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, because this page is so large, it needs to stay as-is. The Uniform is a major part of Cadets (as a cadet myself, I know). We have inspections every meeting. Keep them coming :) --Mattios550 (talk) 16:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mattios550 - This is true, and I do not dispute it, however, these facts do not cause the article to meet WP:GNG Rob 301 (talk) 02:21, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Mattios550, What is the exact relationship between the Air Training Corps and the Air Cadet Organisation? The ATC article says it's "part of" the ACO, but both articles appear to be talking about the exact same thing.Grandmartin11 (talk) 17:08, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chan Santa Cruz[edit]

I believe the article has become a WP:CONTENTFORK for Maya civilization and Maya religion.

Keep. Although the article's lead is slightly confusing at first reading, its subject is fairly clearly the indigenous Maya state established (and then effectively destroyed) during the Caste War of Yucatan in the second half of the 19th century. It is thus completely outside the purview of the article on Maya civilization, which deliberately stops with the conquest of the last pre-colonial Maya state around 1700, and the Cruzob faith associated with it, (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL) while undoubtedly a variant of Maya religion, was (and I gather still is) distinctive enough to warrant treatment in its own right (though the Religion section of the article may need editing to ensure that it is doing this - and, conversely, the Maya religion article need editing to ensure that it is not conflating accounts of religious practices and beliefs from very different times and areas into a single homogenous account). Otherwise, however, there is therefore no reason to regard the article as a content fork. The article is also generally well-sourced, though the style of the bibliography and inline citations should certainly be improved to current Wikipedia standards.

PWilkinson, then it seems that the article could be better named. Can you suggest a new title please? 1292simon (talk) 07:43, 8 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can't currently think of anything that feels like a better name for the article - I have, however, tried rewriting the article's lead to make it clearer, and made some other alterations to the article (in particular, removing most of the places where the state is referred to as the State of the Cross - while the designation would be reasonable enough, I could only find one source, apart from mirrors of the article, that even mentions it). While the article needs quite a lot of rewriting - it seems to have been largely the creation of one IP editor with a definite view of the subject - I am unfortunately unlikely to have time to do this within the period for this discussion. But there are some immediately relevant reliable sources (for instance, Villa Rojas, Reed, Bricker and Sullivan) already used in the article (and others need to be checked not so much for reliability as for their relevance to the Chan Santa Cruz area and period rather than other times or parts of the Yucatan peninsula) and a GBooks search seems to produce quite a few more that haven't been used (and a GNews search some interesting effectively primary contemporary sources).
