As far as this is concerned, it is so appallingly written it would require a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic and also is sourced by WikiSource, which is user-updated data. I highly doubt notability, as well, but DGG disagrees and so does Svedjebruk, the author. Launchballer 23:33, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak delete I'm not at all sure he's notable, but I declined an a7; there was indication he might be important, which is a lesser standard. Probably I should I sent it here myself. DGG ( talk ) 22:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, Subject is the Author of the work s:Slash and burn though the work is orginally written in Norwegian, a google book search {"Slash and burn" Tvengsberg} finds 9 distinct hits for the author and work. Appears to meet WP:N without difficulty. While the entry here could use some work, that is not cause for deletion. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 11:02, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep, I've tried to clean this page up a bit, as well as some of the associated pages at Wikisource, and I've certainly found many citations and papers listed on Google Scholar. A lot is in Norwegian, however, so I'm not sure how notable or how to use them in the article. Therefore, I'm leaning towards keep until proven otherwise. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 17:16, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - I failed to verify notability, he is known locally, and has a work published in his language, his notability is weak, but it does not assert maintainability. Eduemoni↑talk↓ 23:50, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete—A quick Google search doesn't turn up any reliable sources, although he looks like he might be notable. If someone could find a news article on or mentioning him, I'd probably vote keep. --SamX‧☎‧✎ 04:23, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Leaning Delete. First, I think we should note that his real name is Per Martin Tvengsberg; this is important for the search. I still don't see him as notable neither per WP:ACADEMIC, WP:AUTHOR or WP:GNG. His main work Svedjebruk was published by Norwegian Forest Finns Museum; but I can't see that it has been a very notable or influential work. And his general career, as leader of Hedmark Museum etc. appears to be a bit below the standard for being notable on a national level. Regards, Iselilja (talk) 08:27, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Could a soft redirect to Wikisource:Author:Per Martin Tvengsberg solve this? A variation on {{Wiktionary redirect}} could be created. I don't even think any information would be lost and it could be reverted to an article later if more information turns up. - AdamBMorgan (talk) 12:44, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to the Merpati Nusantara Airlines article. The Aircrash essay does not mandate a stand-alone article for every airline crash but states the WP:GNG must also be met; there has been no significant coverage, just news reports of the "it happened" variety. The accident hasn't enough impact for this to be documented on WP other than having a paragraph in the airline article. YSSYguy (talk) 04:56, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, because the WP:EVENT guideline is not met. There has been no continuous coverage; all references of this article are news items published on 10 June, the day of the accident.--FoxyOrange (talk) 08:19, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No fatalities. No apparent ongoing coverage. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:25, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - The aircraft was written off. Complaints of no ongoing coverage are invalid as the accident only happened in the last week and it takes time for investigations to be carried out, reports written and published. Coverage is not just local to Indonesia, but worldwide. Mjroots (talk) 10:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Are you seriously saying want to keep the article because it might possibly maybe one day prove to be notable? My grandma's toenail might possibly one day turn out to be maybe notable, but I won't be creating a Wikipedia article about it just yet. 86.5.176.168 (talk) 20:29, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- No, that's not what I'm saying. IMHO, the accident is notable already. The "lack of ongoing coverage" argument is, IMHO, invalid because of the fact that there will be a report released into the accident in due course. Hopefully it wont take as long as the Crossair Flight 850 accident (over 8 years) before the report is published. Mjroots (talk) 09:05, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- But the accident report cannot confer notablility. Consensus has developed over time on WP that not all accidents are notable, but all accidents are investigated and thus all accidents result in an accident report. YSSYguy (talk) 09:37, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- YSSY, I take it you've seen the photographs of the accident aircraft? That there were no fatalities given the amount of damage add weight to the case for notability here. Mjroots (talk) 11:29, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Can we take it then that you have abandoned your "It's notable because there will be a report one day" argument in favour of an "it's notable because nobody died" argument? Is there any reason this crash warrants more than a paragraph in the article about the airline? Take away the lead from the article and what remains is a sentence about the aircraft and its age; and a paragraph about the accident itself. What more can be said about it? If there is significant coverage in the future, undo the redirect and expand the article. YSSYguy (talk) 02:14, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Serious damage was done to the airplane, and some people were injured. The airplane will not be used again. One Of Seven Billion (talk) 19:00, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll start writing an article on every single plane shot down in World War II immediately. Most of them were never used again either and sometimes crew members were even killed. Oh sorry, is that somehow different? -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Serious enough for the aircraft to be written off. Easily passes WP:GNG.--Oakshade (talk) 23:01, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The incident has received sufficient coverage to satisfy GNG. One reason is that this particular airframe has had multiple mishaps and its safety has been called into question, which adds notability to the crash. See this article, for example. Andrew327 15:04, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- That isn't an article, that's a readers' forum allowing readers of the Jakarta Post to discuss an earlier news report. It of itself doesn't qualify as a suitable source and I have removed its two uses from the article. It certainly does not add any weight to the "it passes the GNG" argument. As there is no ongoing significant coverage, it does not pass the GNG. There was a flurry of news reports the day after the crash, that's all. There's a story in my local newspaper today - a capital city daily - about a bus crash in South America; the story is two paragraphs. Media outlets worldwide report accidents of all types on a daily basis because they have space to fill, then they move on to the next story. YSSYguy (talk) 02:02, 22 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to Xian MA60#Accidents and incidents. The accident passes muster sufficiently to be mentioned in the type, airline and/or aircraft articles, but does not rise to the standard of needing its own, standalone article.

- Delete. The whole "World's Strongest Man" thing doesn't seem to be a particularly notable gimmick; the fact that these wrestlers have been attributed this title seems to have less to do with wrestling and more to do with the fact that they were all once "strongmen". Perhaps creating Category:Professional wrestlers who are strongmen or sometime to that effect would be a better substitute. However, Static is right when he says that such a list is total cruft. — Richard BB 13:06, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. He has never played above the Second Division, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT. The coverage he has received is the usual trivial stuff (match reports, player profiles, transfer news, etc.) meaning the article fails WP:GNG as well.

The last afd resulted in keep because the Macedonian First Division was incorrectly presumed to be fully pro at the time. It is currently listed and sourced as not fully pro at WP:FPL. Aside from his stint in Skopje and a brief stint in the Lithuanian A Lyga, which is also confirmed as not fully pro, he has never played outside of Latvia, which has no confirmed fully pro league, and has only ever represented Latvia on the youth level, meaning the article fails WP:NSPORT. The coverage he's received is the usual trivial stuff, match reports, squad lists, transfer announcements, player profiles etc., which means the article also fails WP:GNG.

Restoration of an article previously deleted by PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. This remains valid. Apart from the usual player profiles, which are considered trivial per WP:NSPORT, the only coverage he has received seems to be transfer announcements, which does not amount to significant coverage. He has only ever played in Estonia and Latvia, and no league in either country is confirmed to be fully pro. Internationally, he has only ever represented Estonia on the youth level. Therefore, the article still fails WP:GNG and WP:NSPORT. Sir Sputnik (talk) 15:28, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- This is an interview with a blog, which is just promotional fluff.
- This is a screenshot, which again just links to SkateSlate's website.

- KeepHi, I am the author and once notified of concerns I immediately reached out to Kudpung with edits and asked if they addressed his/her concerns. I am surprised at how quickly deletion occurs since I am desiring to bring this article into conformance. I was surprised that it was already deleted despite our willingness to amend any objectionable material. The magazine publishes daily news on the longboarding/skateboarding scene. It is not a new magazine, rather it has existed for the past 4 years. It is common for news outlets to not have many references in the news since other news publications don't list or cite their competitors. SkateSlate has numerous citings and references by other manufacturers in the longboarding industry that can easily be found by searching past the first google page of results. This is my first time at adding an article to Wikipedia but it seems like a discouraging process if other users delete your content before you have a chance to bring it up to the level of more experienced authors. I would appreciate if the community would work with me to bring it into conformance rather than just try to delete the magazine from Wikipedia. If you are reading this and researching the topic, I encourage people to look at other skateboarding magazines as references. Thank you for your support. ★★User talk:Tacutting★★ 12:04, 24 June 2013 (PST) — Tacutting (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

None of the sources provided are reliable sources and this just doesn't meet our General Notability Guidelines.

Non-notable author. Lack of independent third-party reliable sources discussing this author. No independent reviews of his books. Article is essentially an advertisement to sell books. Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:41, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Author of multiple books with major genre publishers (Tor and Bantam). It is true that published reviews of his books appear to be hard to locate but I think the SF Encyclopedia is enough. There are also some reviews out there; here are a couple (in German): [2] [3]. This is no more an advertisement than any article on any author. However some unsourced material should probably be trimmed from our article. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:11, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Here are, it seems, two more (the parts relevant to Peirce not visible online but that's irrelevant for notability): A review of Peirce's Black Hole Planet in the Washington Post (see the actual review text here) and A review of Dinosaur Park in the Arizona Daily Star. I had been assuming in good faith that when you said there were no reviews you had thoroughly searched Google news archive, but apparently not. And here's another genre magazine review: [4]. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:37, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Whether I'm notable or not is for others to decide. I will mention that over the years Locus_(magazine) has had many reviews (maybe 20 or 30) of my short stories that were published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, probably the leading magazine in the field. There have been reviews of my novels in OtherRealms and, for that matter, Analog itself. I've never bothered to keep track of the ones in other countries. (May I also mention the fact that Mr. Sulcer was, for a while, a disgruntled contributor to Citizendium, where, at the time, I was a Constable (the equivalent of an administrator here) -- evidently Mr. Sulcer had issues with some of the other Constables at the time about his contributions and he left in a clearly unhappy frame of mind.) The fact that I have had many published stories in the leading science-fiction and mystery magazines seems to have escaped him also.

- I think that's less relevant than whether the information there is under the editorial control of EQMM rather than being a personal blog. Institutional blogs (such as online columns associated with newspapers) can be reliable sources regardless of whether they're called blogs, but personal blogs are rarely reliable. In this case, most of the content at the link looks like a first-hand reminiscence, so it might be ok as a source for simple factual information (such as that the subject lived in Tahiti) but not much more. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:07, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Whether I'm notable or not is for others to decide. I will mention that over the years Locus_(magazine) has had many reviews (maybe 20 or 30) of my short stories that were published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact, probably the leading magazine in the field. There have been reviews of my novels in OtherRealms and, for that matter, Analog itself. I've never bothered to keep track of the ones in other countries. (May I also mention the fact that Mr. Sulcer was, for a while, a disgruntled contributor to Citizendium, where, at the time, I was a Constable (the equivalent of an administrator here) -- evidently Mr. Sulcer had issues with some of the other Constables at the time about his contributions and he left in a clearly unhappy frame of mind.) The fact that I have had many published stories in the leading science-fiction and mystery magazines seems to have escaped him also. As a matter fact, there is a new one called The Lethal Leeteg in the August 2013 issue of Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine -- I was paid, I believe, $400 for it, so it is clearly not "self-published".... Hayford Peirce (talk) 22:07, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Here are, it seems, two more (the parts relevant to Peirce not visible online but that's irrelevant for notability): A review of Peirce's Black Hole Planet in the Washington Post (see the actual review text here) and A review of Dinosaur Park in the Arizona Daily Star. I had been assuming in good faith that when you said there were no reviews you had thoroughly searched Google news archive, but apparently not.

- Comment. @ David - "Author of multiple books with major genre publishers" is not sufficient to meet the notability criteria at WP:AUTHOR. The Science Fiction Encyclopedia is not sufficient, in terms of WP:V, to keep this article. This article has been around for several years and has been edited extensively by Mr. Peirce himself, so I can't help but think that if the appropriate verifiable references existed they would already have been added.

- Keep - per sources cited. The WP:COI here is obvious but it has been openly declared as such since 2005. Contributing to this discussion isn't a conflict of interest, especially since he's not !voted and has determined that the decision should be made by consensus not including him. His editing the article is a conflict and he should refrain from doing do. I also think the fact that Mr Hayford hasn't filled the article with links to Amazon and his own websites in an effort sell his books is as valid as Taroaldo's point that he also hasn't added a lot of references. But if there are reviews and references to be added then that's a WP:FIXTHEPROBLEM sort of problem, not an WP:AFD sort of problem. Stalwart111 22:54, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Clearly a notable author. There is far too much unsourced material here and yes, Peirce's COI is obvious. Neither of these, though, is a reason for deletion. Unsourced material? Tag it for sources or chop it out. COI editing? Monitor the edits, assume good faith and edit as needed. Suppose a major world figure showed up and added to her article that she's simply gorgeous and the most gracious person on the planet. You'd note the COI and take the pruning shears to the article, not kill the article. Some of the edits are completely benign -- helpful even. This spelling correction is his only edit to the article in over 6 years. The "major edit" in 2006 does need some trimming.

- That's what I am saying. The references do not meet the requirements in my view. Wikipedia's rules make this encyclopedia great. It does not seem wise to bend them because an author happens to be a contributor here.

- Keep but seriously trim The article is too long, filled with uncited material and opinion. The COI editing is noticeable. Suggest a serious trim. LK (talk) 11:27, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- In my view it is more than a problem of trimming. I argue the article is essentially misleading because it paints Peirce as an important sci-fi mystery writer with substantial readers. Clearly he wrote many books. But almost nobody reads them. An unofficial check at Amazon finds only ten (10) reader reviews for 14 books. Why so few? Lack of readership is consistent with lack of media attention and suggests a fringe author. Contrast with Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. 1731 reviews. See the problem?.--13:19, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

- Well then, it's lucky we don't rely on Amazon reader comments when determining notability or this author might be in trouble. Besides which, you missed Dinosaur Park on the first page of results with 4 reviews. To be honest, at the moment I'm more concerned about the unaddressed suggestion that this AFD might have been raised as the result of an off-WP personal dispute between authors.

- Fair enough. I will not add more rebuttals. I added Dinosaur Park totals above. For the record, I have no personal animus towards Mr. Peirce. I worked with him at Citizendium (we sometimes had disagreements but they were not major) but I left there, after much frustration, because the project had no readers. My concern here is entirely motivated by following Wikipedia's rules. My problem is when I tell people I contribute to Wikipedia, and many people doubt the veracity of the project, and it is article like Hayford Peirce which undermine our collective credibility.

- Delete Notability isn't based on our subjective opinions on what is notable, but on guidelines. From that perspective, there's arguably concerns with WP:NOTNEWSPAPER (is there any enduring notability here? I don't see it), but overall this individual does not seem to meet the general guidelines of WP:N. Specifically, I do not see any evidence of non-trivial coverage in multiple, independent third-party sources. She seems to being having a brief burst of attention now that she has died, and she had one or two articles on each of her birthdays from the "125th" on. None of the coverage is particularly impressive to me and, of the four sources on the page, the first one doesn't qualify as a reliable source and the last two are just copies of her obituary. Most of the articles are "she's old", "she died", "here are some statistics about related topics", nothing that qualifies for the level of coverage that is expected on the subject. And that's what the key issue for me is: how much of an encyclopedic value will the sources allow us to say on the subject? Not much, from what I have seen. To me, this means she lacks the sustained coverage that would distinguish her from thousands of other individuals claiming (falsely or otherwise) to be very old. Redirect to longevity claims is probably fine, but probably also pointless. Canadian Paul 03:48, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment My basis to keep the article is not based on opinion, but by literal interpretation of the guideline set out at WP:BASIC, namely: "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." This is clearly the case, even if the sources (and there are many different ones) refer to her age or death, it is exactly this (her age) that makes her notable. Most notable people have articles about them that refer to the thing(s) that make them notable. This case is no different. Given the very high number of secondary sources, it is obviously notable to live 127 years! It is worth noting that not all the articles were published after her death. You may speculate about whether coverage will be ongoing, but it is not our place to speculate in these debates - we must, as you say, base the decision on application of the guideline.

- Comment. The article states it was a part of Operation Livery, which makes no sense, since Livery was a combat operation on the other side of the world in Malaya.

Clarityfiend (talk) 01:11, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Addendum. I think the author of the Reaper article got the operations mixed up. After the sole mention of Livery, the next paragraph is devoted to Lusty, and Livery is never mentioned again. The National Museum factsheet states that the Lusty finds were shipped to the US on Reaper, and that ship was the transportation used in Seahorse. This forum comment, while not a reliable source, also backs up this connection: "All the above pictures relate directly to the so-called "Operation LUSTY" (from LUftwaffe Secret TechnologY) an effort run by the U.S. Army Air Forces Intelligence Service ... The time frame for the whole peration (sic) was from October 23 1944 to the 15th of December 1945, although the naval part ("Operation Sea Horse") only took from July 20 to July 28 1945."

No out of universe notability. Character does not pass WP:GNG like Brock Samson of The Venture Bros. Contains a lot of In-universe fancruft. JJ98 (Talk) 02:57, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Rebel (movement). Consensus is to redirect as clear redundant content fork. Its proper title can be discussed on the article's talk page. (non-admin closure) czar · · 17:20, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A more complete article on subject already exists; see Rebel (movement) David O. Johnson (talk) 02:17, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Rebel (movement). It is a plausible search term. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:58, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect per Cullen's comment; it is possible that some might try to search for Tamarud and some might search for Rebel. MezzoMezzo (talk) 09:29, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect for the reasons stated above. I wish I could give an eloquent argument for redirecting, however those before me did a good job at exhausting any argument that I can presently think of.--RPhilbrook (talk) 01:56, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Article should maintain the Tamarud name, as thats the name that people know them. Naming it "Rebel" is ambiguous and people will not find what they are searching for.--HCPUNXKID (talk) 21:10, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite sure whether this dab page should be deleted or possibly redirected to Livery of seisin. The second entry is related to the first, and in fact it has been proposed that they be merged. The other two alleged dab entries don't belong here at all. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:45, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I am also nominating the following related page because it has the same problem and consists of the same two entries: Livery of seisin and Sasine:

- The proposal is to merge Livery of seisin into Seisin, not Sasine. Peter James (talk) 08:52, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Close The nomination was unclear and the later addition of another article leaves matters even less clear. I don't know what is being proposed for Livery in deed. Anyway, this is a matter best dealt with by normal editing without AFD involvement. Go ahead with editing and redirecting involving talk page discussion when required. Thincat (talk) 12:23, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep livery in law is a legal concept and process explained in numerous sources and should therefore be a blue link. The rest is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. Warden (talk) 13:59, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Withdraw nomination. Okay, I was thinking of it only in terms of a badly formed dab page. I'll tidy it up a bit, reclassify it, and tag it for an expert to deal with. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:34, 24 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
