Hero (van Canto album)[edit]

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

Non-notable album: the only reference [1] is to a blog, which is a not a reliable source. As such it fails WP:NALBUMS, which basically just applies WP:GNG. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:10, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect To Van Canto. Not really a plausible redirect, but based solely on article history. Fails WP:NALBUMS. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 21:08, 8 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (or redirect to van Canto at a minimum) - Merging too many album articles losslessly (track listings and personnel included) into the ensemble article would be messy. The number of albums with full track listings and album info to be merged into a musical ensemble or artist page was discussed here. Are we going to now start a mass deletion campaign of all non-notable albums? --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:47, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- When a topic is not notable, we don't need to aim for a lossless merge; we can summarise. If the topic is not notable, it does not require that much detail, and should not be covered in that much detail.
  In any case, I note that Jax0677 does not make any claim that the topic is notable, let alone evidence that it is notable. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:10, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Here it says "Users have expressed interest in keeping the tracklists somewhere in Wikipedia". Implied in this is keeping the information about the album, which is what an encyclopedia should do. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:48, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. Jax, was that a sneaky attempt at misrepresenting the result of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (music)#Merging_of_non-notable_albums, or did you just not bother to read the closing statement?
Whichever it it was, Jax has quoted from the closing admin's summary of the discussion rather than from the conclusion, which rejected any blanket approval of that point: "that consensus is to Keep current wording and merge or redirect album articles that only contain an infobox and a tracklist. Given the comments above, such merges should be done in compliance with current policies and guidelines, and when such information is considered notable (or encyclopedic) enough to be included". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:29, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Do I recall you saying "If an article would be overwhelmed by listing all the tracks on non-notable albums, the solution is simple: don't list all the tracks"? My point is that neither the track listings nor the pertinent details should not go away, even if the album articles do get merged into the ensemble article. IMHO, if the artist is notable, the song names, times and participants in their albums can be listed somewhere on Wikipedia. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:37, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jax, notability is not a matter of opinion; it is a matter of substantial coverage in reliable sources. You have provided no evidence that such coverage exists.
You say that details "should not go away"; what you mean is that you don't want them to go away. The policy remains that it will be included "when such information is considered notable (or encyclopedic) enough to be included". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:53, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply WP is WP:NOTCENSORED, therefore the track listings should not be excluded from an artist or ensemble page so long as the artist is considered notable. The track listings and the album titles are information about the artist. Perhaps an AfD should be filed against van Canto? --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:02, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop being silly. There is no question of censorship, just of editorial commonsense. If the material overwhelms an article, some of it may be omitted; but the fact that some editors want to include material which overloads an article is no grounds for creating another article on a non-notable topic. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:38, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - If the article has room, include the track listing in the article. If not, do a size split. The reason that Central Station (Phoenix) has its own article is because the Metro Light Rail (Phoenix) article would otherwise be too large. This is why WP:NALBUMS says "space permitting". --Jax 0677 (talk) 02:57, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. Jax, plaese take a few seconds to read a guideline before citing it. WP:NALBUMS explicitly says "An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence". That's how we determined whether an article on an album should exist; the sentence you quoted relates solely to the question of whether the content of a non-notable album is merged or deleted. Lack of space in another article is no grounds for keeping an article on a non-notable topic. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:58, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Then we merge the album losslessly. --Jax 0677 (talk) 01:00, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Van Canto. None of the band's album articles seem to have enough content to make separate articles necessary, and merging them all to the band article would make sense. The personnel is basically the same across the albums - any members coming or going could be mentioned in the prose, and I wouldn't see the track lengths as essential information to merge.--Michig (talk) 07:05, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Reply - Like No Justice, the albums absolutely should be merged losslessly, track lengths included. --Jax 0677 (talk) 22:08, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great Cyprus Expropriation[edit]

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

While this is a true event, it has not yet been given a name. A Google search returns no hits whatsoever. That is enough for a rename, but is probably more appropriate for a merge (-> Economy of Cyprus). Even so, this info is totally unrefd and seems to predict the future, as a run on banks cannot really happen until they open. There may have been a run to empty cash machines, but that is supposed to happen and they can be easily re-filled. There were some co-operative banks (open on Sat) that had to shut, but numbers are not available (approx 1/5th total banks) and they are not the norm.

Jody Eldred[edit]

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

Notable and an article could be written, but this is obvious a promotional bio that is almost certainly a copyvio, though I cannot find the source, and I think it would be necessary to start over DGG ( talk ) 21:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. It's fully promotional and serves no objective purpose. Ducknish (talk) 02:52, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In acknowledging WP:NRVE, the subject appears notable per WP:GNG.[2][3] I agree with DGG that it may be best to simply start over from scratch. But rather than COI, my own sense from the depth of background information included, is that that article author User:Ejody might be the DGA Award-nominated Jody Eldred writing about himself. An important note here is that there definitely are sources available from which a suitable article might be created. If this thing is suitably edited/improved/sourced before this AFD concludes, I would be happy voting for a keep. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 09:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The material is likely an assemblage of press release material. See this web page (dated Oct 19, 2012 by google) which contains verbatim some of the same material in the version of the article nominated. -- Whpq (talk) 22:13, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Quite likely press releases written by Jody, about Jody and containing the type of fluffy information that press release almost always contain .... and one of the reasons I think the article in its present state should go and perhaps be replaced later by a neutral and properly sourced article written by an experienced Wikipedia editor.

Keep This article is definitely a keeper. The movie is among the few that go deeply into the history of central banking as well as the Rothschild dynasty. The film has been around for a long time on the internet and continues to be watched by the millions on a multitude of video sites. The follow-up movie The Secret of Oz also won an award at the Beloit International Film Festival. There are reviews available online, including on Amazon and IMDB, it is mentioned on articles for example here and here and searches on sites such as Google, Google Videos and YouTube yield millions of results. Of course the information provided within the movie is controversial since many poweful interests wish to conceal many aspects of it. Anyone who thinks the basic gist of it is bullshit should read the many other resources, movies and books on these same subjects, much of the information is revealed even within the official Rothschild History and Biography. Loewenherts (talk) 21:02, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What significant coverage do you see? If it's out there, we need to add it to the article. Thargor Orlando (talk) 11:55, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Claiming this film being non-noteworthy is silly at best. This film is highly controversial, but non-noteworthy it’s not. This film has been influential in the quest for the truth about the financial system and helped many to open up for new ideas. This article is about the film itself not the quality of it. If Wikipedia would be filtering articles based on the content of the product/item/issue, then this site would be a single welcome page at best, as most things can be debated on. Deleting this article based on somebodies idea of the items noteworthiness renders Wikipedia useless as only “correct” views can be expressed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paddinghouse (talk • contribs) 09:07, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The film is certainly noteworthy. I'm not sure exactly what kind of coverage advocates of deletion are looking for. To suggest that reliable sources need to be produced to confirm the very existence of a film that anyone can see exists is taking Wikipedia policies to a ridiculous extreme. - Lisa (talk - contribs) 14:49, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Just because a significant number of WP contributors have seen it and have been impacted it does not mean that notability is conferred onto the subject. Articles about such topics really need objective sources, and there is a dearth of them. dci | TALK 00:30, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Wikipedia is no place for the personal opinions of Wikipedia editors, therefore the "noteworthiness" or "notability" of a film alone should not be the basis for this article's deletion. This Wikipedia article is first and foremost an article about the documentary itself, rather than the validity or substance of its plot or subject. Since this film undeniably exists, the article should not be deleted on the basis of its supposed non-existence or disdain of its content. It's not necessary to agree with the content of the documentary, but deleting the article denies the fact of the documentary's existence as well as its reception from critics. Furthermore, the reception section of the article contains sourced comments from well-known individuals such as Nomi Prins and G. Edward Griffin, providing an argument that the film is indeed "noteworthy." Instead of being deleted, this article should be expanded and strengthened with more sources on its production and reception to balance the current focus on its content.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, DGG ( talk ) 20:11, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Note: I closed this a Keep, on the basis of a consensus being reached; my close was objected to on the basis that the sources for notability were not adequately reliable. The challenge may possibly have been correct, and I my practice in cases of a good faith challenge of this nature is to revert my close and relist for further discussion. I suggest a discussion of the individual sources, along with a search for others. DGG ( talk ) 20:16, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments pertaining to the above discussion:
- The documentary is not notable. Simply put, it has not received significant coverage in reliable, objective, third-party sources.
  - The current sources in the article are less than adequate. Several of them are affiliated with the subject, while others are simply links to places where the documentary can be watched online.
  - The PBS source is an expired video, and does not establish the subject's notability, but the opinion of someone who reviewed the documentary.
  - The Cineaste source and other reviews are only applicable to the section regarding critical reception.
  - Other sources are closely affiliated with the group responsible for the film.
- Many of the keep !voters above have not edited outside of this topic and, more specifically, outside of this discussion.
- Further, many of those !voting keep seem to assume that deletion arguments are attacking the documentary. They are not. They are stating that the subject lacks sufficient coverage in objective, reliable sources.

Thanks for your patience in reading this belaboring commentary. dci | TALK 21:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article is poorly sourced and I don't think there's a single cite there worth hanging an entire article on. Nothing turns up in a quick Lexis/Nexis search. Google Books turns up a few books which cite the video, but I'm not convinced that's enough to hang an article on either. Gamaliel (talk) 22:04, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree that notability is insufficiently proven to maintain the article. WP:FRINGE- it's not an issue of disagreeing with the content of the documentary, it's an issue of significant coverage in secondary sources, and I don't think the film meets that burden. Several of the editors supporting keeping the article (including those, as DCI said, seem to be clearly SPA/ips specifically targeting this discussion) argue that mere existence of the film justifies inclusion. Existence does not confer notability. And it is also clear that several of these supporting editors do not exactly have a NPOV on the subject. The admin who closes this discussion ought to take a good look into the sources actually cited in the article. Biased, fringe coverage shouldn't be held up to prove notability. Ducknish (talk) 22:21, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - mostly because existence ≠ notability. Yep, it exists, no doubt about it. But that does not mean it is notable. For that, we need multiple reliable sources that discuss, review, debate, etc, the subject itself. Sites that simply allow the film to be downloaded or viewed cannot be considered significant coverage of the subject itself. Just like a book being on a shelf in a library or a horse being on a stock-list at a stables or a product being on a shipping manifest. None of those things confer notability. That some editors here have seen the film and either like it or not is also not an inclusion criteria. Show me a couple of decent reviews or responses and it'll be a different story. Otherwise, delete. Stalwart111 00:10, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sorry, but neither of those could really be considered a reliable source (see WP:RS). One is an amazon.com listing with some viewer comments and the other looks like someone's personal website where attribution, author, date, expertise, etc remain unclear. At best, it would be considered self-published (like a blog), but I'm sure we could even confirm that from the site itself. That's a long way from the "couple of decent reviews" I was looking for.

Christopher J. Dumler Rape Scandal[edit]

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

Exquisitely sourced article about a rape case involving the "Scottsville District representative to the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors". In case someone is wondering, that's in Virginia. WP:NOT#NEWS applies quite nicely here, as does WP:BLP1E, not to mention this would merit nothing more than a paragraph in the bio of the person involved, were that bio to actually exist. It doesn't, which is another indication this doesn't belong on Wikipedia at all. This isn't even a national news story, which is the argument used routinely to keep articles about shootings or accidents. It's a coatrack and the largest case of WP:UNDUE I've seen. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 19:21, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have tagged this as an attack page. I'm not perfectly familiar with this area of policy at the moment, otherwise I'd delete it immediately myself. Espresso Addict (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A G10 is a stub along the lines of "XYZ is a poo-poo head". This is not that, although the ultimate purpose might be the same. We assume that the creator of the article (who has invested a lot of time in crafting this) feels this merits inclusion in the encyclopedia, and the AFD discussion serves as a clear, unambiguous policy-based reasoning as to why it does not. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 21:25, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As I see it, the attack criterion says "This includes libel, legal threats, material intended purely to harass or intimidate a person or an article about a living person that is entirely negative in tone and unsourced." The article is sourced, and probably not libel, but could well be "material intended purely to harass or intimidate a person". Negative stuff may be posted (when reliably sourced) about people who are notable enough for an article, but here we may well come into WP:BLP1E territory. I'm not sticking my neck out for a speedy, but would not object to a delete here under coatrack or undue - or even BLP1E. Peridon (talk) 21:13, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Characters of Monster High[edit]

A list of dolls (yes, really), consisting of originally researched character descriptions. There are no reliable sources--this is the equivalent of a list of Lego blocks: no independent significance, written by and for fans. Drmies (talk) 04:20, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Well... it's more than just dolls at this point. My nieces are obsessed with these dolls for some reason and the line is now comprised of books, games, and animated shows/movies, so it's possible that most of this is just info culled from those multiple sources. My only concern with this is that it's somewhat customary to have a spin off list of characters if the universe and main page is large enough to warrant a separate entry. This does need sourcing and a cleaning to make it less of a fan page, but there is potential merit in having a list for the characters.Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:58, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Whatever independently sourced bits and pieces (and that isn't much) can be found might have a place in one of the other articles. The rest is original research, much of it dubious: the Frankenstein one's eyes are different colors because of a genetic condition? Really? My guess (as good as the original editor's guess) would have involved the doctor taking eyes from different bodies. She's also "the 16-day-old daughter(3-year-old as of date)". I guess that means she was built 3 years ago (plus however long ago that info was mentioned), but is somehow 16 (perhaps made of the bodies of 16 year olds)? Um, yeah. Another character "currently is unmentioned in the other media", unless it's just out of date.

Lem Villemin[edit]

AfDs for this article:

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

WP:A7, fails notability guidelines and WP:BIO. Maybe WP:TOOSOON.

I had nominated it for deletion previously before someone rejected that because it survived the previous nomination (based on void of consensus/no consensus). Apparently it isn't enough to keep it from getting re-nominated. Please comment guys. Mr T ^(Talk?) ^{(New thread?)} 11:36, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy ~~Keep~~ - looking at the history, a whole bunch of content was deleted around the time of the last AFD. Probably rightly so, given it was un-sourced, but there is more available out there to substantiate an article. There's the ESPN interview with him that is cited in the article. But there's also a couple of drawcard/pro events (for Adidas) that were also covered by Transworld Skateboarding - Paris and Germany including a feature in their October 2011 issue. He was also a key part of a major Adidas advertising campaign - here. There's also a "recruitment" piece from The Berrics - here. He was also on the cover of Kingpin Magazine - here - and received covered therein with a substantive feature article. There's a bunch of minor coverage related to his being sponsored by Cliché Skateboards. My point is, while there might not be coverage in the New York Times, (like most professional skateboarders) there's plenty of coverage in magazines and other skateboarding-specific media. I'm sure the other members of WP:SKATE would be happy to help me adopt and expand it. Stalwart111 01:30, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Scratch The Berrics one - it's coverage, but I thought it had a biographical narrative over the top. It doesn't (just music) so it doesn't do much for us as a source. Will keep at it. Stalwart111 02:08, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion about the skater should be independent of the skater himself (an interview is not independent).
All of the sources are rather passing mentions of Villemin. This dude fails WP:GNG more blatantly than some of the other article which have been deleted speedily. Mr T ^(Talk?) ^{(New thread?)} 07:16, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, obviously I disagree, but I understand entirely where you're coming from. The interviews are okay for verifying certain things but not much chop for notability. But the feature pieces in Kingpin and Transworld surely count for something. There's some content in German publications (him being German and all) but my German is terrible. I agree he's not the most notable pro-skater (most being US-based who have stacks of English-language coverage) but I still think his many feature videos, his few feature articles, the interviews and his professional sponsorship deals suggest he is notable enough to warrant inclusion. Not to mention the fact that he has likely been covered in a number of smaller skate mags (esp. in Europe) that aren't available online. I wish there was a library of such things (though my productivity levels would stall) but there isn't. I'm also starting to think there might be a need for a WP:NSKATEBOARDER to make cases like this easier. But if others think that what's online isn't enough then I'll have to accept that. Stalwart111 13:35, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kingpin says nothing about him aside from calling him a "German stylemonger". I have checked the transworld pages too, only trivial mentions. The interviews are not independent. If this subject is to be included in Wikipedia as an article he needs to be a notable skater or notable for something else. Trivial mentions won't cut it. Does German wikipedia have a page about this guy? The page about Lem Villemin in german wikipedia was deleted. Mr T ^(Talk?) ^{(New thread?)} 14:41, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're looking at the online stuff as opposed to the printed stuff, yeah? There is a pdf-style version (or something) of one of them. Anyway doesn't matter; have been having a chat on the article talk page too and one of my WP:SKATE colleagues suggested userfication. Under the circumstances I think that may work well. There's obviously no consensus for this to be kept in its current form (which I can accept) so how about I hold onto it for a while until there's some more (better) coverage of the guy? Would you have any objection to that? Stalwart111 23:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No. No objections at all. I gracefully welcome you to do that. You userfy and improve it and then we can re-include it at the right time. Mr T ^(Talk?) ^{(New thread?)} 06:09, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good-o then, I'll do that. I still think he passes, but I'm quite happy to work on it for a while until the matter is beyond doubt. Stalwart111 07:53, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

At some point A7 was extended to include organizations. I think a magazine ought to qualify, no? Pburka (talk) 23:05, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One could interpret it either way, I guess. I wouldn't normally A7 something that's at least nominally about a physical product (A7 specifically exempts "creative works"). That said, this particular thing is so incredibly, stupendously, monumentally non-notable that the whole thing could have been IARed off the planet and I doubt anyone would raise a fuss.

Tihomir of Belegezitai[edit]

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

Hoax with an agenda: there is no reference anywhere for a Tihomir who was a lord of the Belegezites, nor of that matter any Tihomir in the region of Macedonia in the 8th century. The article creator had previously cited Tihomir's existence at the Belegezites article with Setton's The Bulgars in the Balkans, but Tihomir is nowhere to be found there. This is simply another of this user's articles where he shows his habit of simply making up stuff (e.g. the link asserted here between Tihomir and Akameros, a petty Byzantine client ruler in southern Thessaly) in order to create a more coherent and impressive narrative of Slavic presence in Macedonia than actually exists.

There are a slew of other articles in the same vein (e.g. Federated Suns, etc), but many of them were not tagged for cleanup until recently. I would consider them equally worthy of removal but have not listed them due to the more recent cleanup tags.

Weak keep, although the subject has not received significant coverage from multiple non-primary reliable sources; although the subject has been received multiple mentions in multiple non-primary reliable sources, the sum of those mentions would not equal significant coverage IMHO. That being said, the subject is notable per criteria #4 of WP:FILMMAKER, therefore the article should not be deleted.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:08, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep but rewrite. (Changing to Keep, see my comment below.) The subject has directed a couple of (marginally) notable films and probably does meet the criteria for an article. However, the article needs a complete rewrite. It was obviously copy-pasted from somewhere else (probably a Wiki mirror based on the footnote style), and it contains no independent sourcing and way too much puffery ("screening all across the country to rave reviews", "his biggest success to date creating a media storm with controversy and positive buzz", etc.). --MelanieN (talk) 19:23, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~weak~~ keep and rewrite. His works have received coverage enough for him to meet WP:ENT#4.[4][5] Needs work, but such appears do-able. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 10:01, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Reaching a particular stage of development is not a threshold. Per WP:GNG "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 plenty of confirmed facts being reported about the development of this project by reliable secondary sources to meet GNG. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:09, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This company does not appear to meet the WP:CORP criteria for notability, especially WP:CORPDEPTH. At the time of nomination, most of the cited sources do not contribute to notability: they are all primary sources (8, 11), routine coverage such as press releases (2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10), etc. The only source that appears to have anything about the company is 1, and although I can't read it in full, the article appears to be about the type of service in general, not this specific company. —Darkwind (talk) 07:12, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I spotted this company when researching something in highbeam research and googling it seems it is a major firm in this field. Highbeam Research has plenty of sources for 411-PAIN. Florida Trend cites it as a leading firm in its field in the state. That the article has been hijacked by User:411 Painwiki and countless ips adding spam links attracting neutrality/cleanup tags does not justify this being deleted. It needs watching and protecting. It meets guidelines for companies on wikipedia and also passes WP:GNG by number of reliable sources which exist on it.I can think of numerous companies on here and which are missing which are actually notable but not many sources write in detail on the history of the company and most sources are derived from newspaper articles mentioning them such as acquisitions and charity involvement etc.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 11:58, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor Dooley[edit]

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

Her only major role was in The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D (all her other roles were either minor or guest roles or in short, non-notable films), which she was nominated for, but did not win, a single award and she has not contributed to the entertainment industry in any way. While she does have an official website and Twitter account, they are not being updated or referred to frequently, a good indication that she is not a mainstream actress (in fact, she has not acted in nearly four years), and cannot be used alone to determine her fan base. Any fan site I see are either Wikipedia mirrors or talk about her as Lavagirl only, the latter violating our policy of WP:NOTINHERITED as she is being liked only because her character or the film is popular (in fact, the article was created around the time of the movie's release), though this does not seem to be the case for critics and box office statistics. Clearly, she fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:NACTOR. The former states that an individual must have won a notable award or be nominated for several ones while the latter states an actor must have done significant roles in multiple well-known films and shows. The Legendary Ranger (talk) 01:55, 1 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge (selectively) to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D.

Not only this, but he's played two top-flight games in Italian rugby, if the Italian wiki page is to be believed (the reference that may or may not prove this, both at the Italian wiki and here, is a dead link). [10] is coverage of his death. He's mentioned here: [11] Coverage of his memorial tournaments: [12][13]. Other stuff: [14][15][16][17].

~~Keep~~ - This looks like a big case of IDONTLIKEIT and omg someone complained let's AfD it. This article has many many reliable sources for the information in it. The people described in the list voluntarily publicized their lives on the show. Over half of the paragraphs are about the show itself, which means that it does make sense as a list. Honestly, it is of value, as I guarantee you someone looks back at that season, maybe they have it recorded, and wonders who exactly was on the show. It has a purpose, meets GNG (if nothing else), therefore keep. gwickwire^talk_editing 02:07, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Wikipedia is not censored and while I symphasise with the person whom distress is being caused by their stint on BB, this isn't Soviet Russia and things can't be "unhappened". Also, just deleting one list of BB housemates would only cause it to get recreated to fill in the list; the Streisand effect might also be worth mentioning here. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:32, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or redirect to Big Brother 10 (UK). It's a list of thoroughly non-notable people with tons of fancruft details. Way way trivial, going into excessive detail beyond what any professional encyclopedia would do, even if they had our resources. Can you imagine Britannica doing such a list? I strongly objected on WP:CENSOR grounds to the removal of a single entry, but removal is appropriate if all of the others are also removed on unrelated grounds. Nyttend (talk) 04:32, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- What Britannica would or would not do is irrelevant; Wikipedia is not paper, and asking "What Would Britannica Do?" is a sure way to mediocricy. While not essential, of course, these articles are, or should- and could be, reliably sourced and proper spin-outs of the main article on each series. Are the other ten going to be deleted as well? Because deleting one, as I mentioned above, will only invoke the Streisand effect, and would set a disturbing precedent, as well. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 04:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I relish such a disturbance, Bushranger. Seriously, I don't think these are proper spin-outs: it's trivial biographical detail most of which has nothing whatsoever to do with why they were on the show or indeed what they did on the show (which is nothing anyway). I say we set a precedent here, and to make you eat your crow you'll have to nominate all the other ones by hand. Drmies (talk) 04:53, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is supposed to be a proper encyclopedia, not a collection of Western pop culture fancruft - this kind of meaningless trivia belongs in a fan blog.

Comment There is an entire class of articles identical to this. The article is an off-shoot from a main parent and there are dozens of them across the entire Big Brother franchise (and quite possibly other similar reality TV shows). Typically the format is: Big_Brother_10_(UK)#Housemates - branching to the biographical stubs article here up for deletion. A decision should be taken on the entire class of articles, not only this specific article following a complaint by an alleged former contestant. Leaky Caldron 10:59, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Much as we might like to edit out Britain's more recent embarrassing history the reality is that the list covers a major British cultural phenomenon of the 00s. And no there isn't anything we can do about that.©Geni 12:05, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Do you not think the articles about the series themselves are sufficient to cover the cultural phenomenon? -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:30, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"sufficient" is irreverent. Given the depressingly large number of sources that cover such things there is enough sourced info to write such an article which is all that matters.©Geni 15:06, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should indeed be deciding what is "sufficient" in terms of quality encyclopedic content and not just equating quantity of sources with quantity of Wikipedia content - in my opinion, an encyclopedia should be trying to resist bias towards pop culture recentism. But I accept that I seem to be in a minority on that one. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 19:50, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The accepted method of dealing with bias in article topics is to expand coverage in other areas.©Geni 02:00, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This is far too much detail about a (popular) TV show. I haven't found any WP policy documents about how much plot and character detail should be in TV or book articles, but this is just excessive. The fact that this is a partially scripted "reality" show really doesn't change how we should summarize it. This is vastly more detail than, for example, a season of Coronation Street. Dingo1729 (talk) 16:41, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Chalk and cheese. CS is broadcast 5 times a week 52 weeks a year. It doesn't have "seasons" and is not in a genre comparable with a short, seasonal reality TV show. Leaky Caldron 16:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the related series 10 article. While I am shocked that the negative information in the article that has been removed had been there for so long, AFD isn't the place to discuss that aspect of the article. However, I do feel that these people in the list aren't notable outside of the show and there is probably very little interest in them at all now, if any. I think we could just give basic information about the individuals, and remove the details about what they did in the house, as the important parts will be under the summary section anyway. Therefore separate lists are probably not needed, and we could do this for all 14 UK series of Big Brother. –anemone projectors– 21:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Wikipedia has once again shown itself to be incapable of policing the content of these types of articles, to the detriment of their subjects. The contestants are already listed in the main article and there is no need for this fancruft to be recorded anywhere, so deletion is preferable to a merge. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 21:26, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak merge into the season article. Ugh. What do you do about an article where notability and verifiability aren't really an issue, but it presents POV BLP issues about a bunch of people who aren't really public figures in the legal sense? There isn't really an ideal solution, but paring it down considerably and putting it into a parent article where more eyeballs would be on it to keep problems away sure would help. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. We have a big list of all the Apprentice candidates, quite a few have their own articles. So, if anything, we need to greatly expand the list by adding much more personal details about each of the contestants. Whether we like it or not, the very reason why programs like Big Brother are so popular is because people like to know about these things. 23:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Count Iblis (talk • contribs)
- That they're popular for some reason doesn't mean we have to regurgitate the details. Drmies (talk) 01:33, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Wikipedia is about the World as it exists, not about how we think it should be. It is up to the public to not like Big Brother anymore, then these programs will stop and then we don't have to compile these lists anymore. Count Iblis (talk) 14:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - No, it's not a diary NE Ent 16:13, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - We should certainly not include every last detail of the personal lives of these people, even if they can be found in the popular (tabloid) press. But some basic information about each of the contestants isn't too much, in fact Wikipedia's coverage of Big Brother would be incomplete without this information. Whether we like it or not, the whole point of Big Brother is that people participating in there expose part of their private lives. Count Iblis (talk) 16:32, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect to Big Brother 10 (UK). Far too detailed list of trivia, not encyclopedic. If they made something notable during the contest, then mention what they did. You don't have to explain all their personal life details. Wikipedia is not a tabloid nor a entertainment magazine, it doesn't need to explain at length the life of every contestant in a TV contest. --Enric Naval (talk) 14:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We don't have articles on every character that ever appeared in a TV show, and a "reality" show is real people manipulated and edited into revenue producing drama for the producers of the show. We can have adequate encyclopedic coverage of the show with a single article without a fancruft split out page. We have plausible evidence this is causing a real person some distress, and it's not going to cost hurt our reputation as an encyclopedia if this isn't here. I don't see why providing a tremendous service to the world -- the best compilation of information in the history of the world -- has to be incompatible with compassion. NE Ent 14:32, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Modify the article On balance, I think it helpful to use a different principle; since we're an encyclopedia, I think it wrong to cater to the publicity hungry in this or any other part of Wikipedia. We should either include all the candidates, or none of them, and treat them in the same manner. We should compromise, by omitting the last names and other personal information, and just discuss the actions on the show. Unfortunately, to a considerable extent such shows are notable because the people have a real life; I suppose that's the main point of the genre. I think everyone is judging here by what they thing of the social or moral value of the genre. I despise it, but I still think it best to take an intermediate position. DGG ( talk ) 18:13, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I assume anything that is related to the actual show back is already in the main article. Leave out the unrelated tabloid facts. I see no purpose, for example, for giving their current address, as that is of no encyclopedic value for a contestant on a reality TV show. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 20:53, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I believe there are similar articles on all the previous Big Brother series. Keep or delete them all, they must be treated all the same, and the range of information about the individual participants must be all the same, one article must not be deleted because one person who is mentioned does not like it, and that person's information must not be different in character from the information given for the other contestants - ie if it is decided to delete the dob, occupation, location of the person who complained then such information must also be deleted from all the other contestants' information.Smeat75 (talk) 02:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Depending on how this one pans out, those may or may not need to be AFD'd as well. Blackmane (talk) 13:11, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. There may be one or two contestants that have gone on to other things that warrant a stand alone article, which would be subject to our standard policies on WP:N/V/BLP, but the list itself is superfluous for a variety of reasons, as is some of the content. That other lists exist only demonstrates a need to review them at the conclusion of this AfD. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 13:35, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree too - this one should be a good test case. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:40, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Despite the existence of reliable sources for the information, these people are only known for their appearance on the show. Beyond that, they are not notable for any other reason. Per WP:BLP1E all of them fall short of notablity. Blackmane (talk) 10:13, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- And BLP1E is exactly why they're in a list instead of individual articles; lists are used for people and things who are notable as a group (which these are) but not notable individually (which they aren't). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:21, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - and merge anything that isn't cruft to the main article. It's an unnecessary spinout. Sergecross73 msg me 15:36, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Falls under BLP1E if nothing else; most of these people aren't notable for anything else. Even if you count them as notable for being on the show, the list includes random facts about their lives that have nothing to do with the show. While we include such detail for fictional characters, the fact that real people are involved raises BLP considerations. Ken Arromdee (talk) 18:50, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- See reply above to Blackmane re BLP1E. Absolutely cruft should be trimmed; deletion? Perhaps not. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:21, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BLP1E requires making an article about the event. To satisfy BLP1E you can't have a list of people; a list of people isn't an article about the event. Furthermore, the event "person X appears on Big Brother" isn't notable enough to be an article about an event anyway. Ken Arromdee (talk) 03:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BLP1E requires making an article about the event. Er...there is an article about the event: Big Brother 10 (UK). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 13:26, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We're not trying to delete that article, we're trying to delete this one. This one should be removed, since it's not an article about the event, and Big Brother 10 (UK) can be kept.

Also, I'm not convinced that the event is the entire program, rather than "person X's appearance on the program". Ken Arromdee (talk) 19:34, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A group of people notable for one event, about which we already have an article, does not warrant a list article about the group - essentially a collection of little stubs, cruft magnets, about 1E people. --Anthonyhcole (talk · contribs · email) 02:40, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - reality show contestants are generally not celebrities or public figures. Unless they go on to become public figures or have other acting jobs (like, say, some of the Survivor contestants), we don't need extensive bios of them. --B (talk) 04:31, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or Merge any BLP violations should be removed, any insignificant detail should be removed. I have no idea what constitutes significant detail in this context, however we have subject matter experts who curate these pages, and of course more BLP experts than you can shake a stick at. Rich Farmbrough, 15:51, 20 March 2013 (UTC).[reply]
Keep or Merge -- This was a high profile format. I suspect that merging will make the series article too long, so that there is merit in having this as a separate list article. A few winners have gone on to be separately notable, but a split, where each contestant got an article, inevitably be followed by these being merged back here; hence we should keep it in some form. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:00, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Critter Country/Bear Country appears to have received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, which would at least satisfy WP:GNG. I think enough material exists to warrant a standalone page. Gong show 08:18, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, subject has received significant coverage in multiple non-primary reliable sources, therefore the subject clearly passes WP:GNG. I am unaware of any stricter limiting notability guideline for the subject of this AfD. Article appears to be a sub-article of two other articles.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 15:51, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it's at two parks, not just one, and like pretty much everything from Disney it's received plenty of coverage, not surprisingly since it's been around for 40 years and visited by millions each year. While it's generally poor form to say to keep something because similar articles exists, in this case our coverage of Disney attractions is actually really comprehensive and generally excellent, and if the nom or anyone thinks the level of coverage should be reduced it makes more sense to discuss that as a larger issue rather than to snipe a single article out of dozens seemingly at random.

The result was redirect to List of The X Factor finalists (U.S. season 2)#Fifth Harmony. The consensus seems to be that this group might be notable soon (that is the dominant rationale used for both keep and redirect !votes). Those supporting redirect have shown that, if they might the notable in the future, they are not notable yet, and so should not have an article yet. The consensus thus seems to be that the article should be redirected now, but that the band might be notable enough for an article in the future.

Redirect As argued before with last year's group Lakoda Rayne (which had a member break up and the usual iTunes single), until they make an album and stay together beyond a year, the redirect to List of The X Factor finalists (U.S. season 2)#Fifth Harmony should be maintained. Too many junk sources here using fan sites, Twitter responses and copyvio YouTube videos. Nate • (chatter) 06:31, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect. I favored a redirect the last time around. Since the previous discussion, and after the show ended, some coverage has emerged detailing the group and its activities, so my rationale this time will be a bit longer:

Dec. 28- Is Fifth Harmony The New One Direction? (MTV)

Jan. 17- Fifth Harmony got a record deal. (MTV)

Feb. 19 Fith Harmony hits the studio for their first recording sessions (The Hollywood Reporter)

Feb. 20 A day later, they're still "hard at work" in the studio. (MTV)

Feb. 27 Their version of a Frank Ocean tune is uploaded to YouTube. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Mar. 4 They were featured on a Fuse TV segment (Huffington Post)

The case for an individual article is stronger now than it was even a month ago, though their post-reality show career still seems a bit too preliminary for my tastes. It's also telling that the "(2013-present)" section of the Fifth Harmony page is only one paragraph (and unsourced, at that). It's a close call, though, because there's definitely coverage in reliable sources for the group, even post-reality show. On the other (other) hand, the sources still identify them as the "X-Factor girl group", so I'm not sure how "separately notable" they've truly become (maybe once a proper single/album is released). Until it's less ambiguous, I think it's reasonable to simply sum up the above coverage in a couple sentences within the group's section of the List of The X Factor finalists (U.S. season 2) page, which is already well-detailed and well-sourced. Gong show 09:37, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep would be my first choice. Deleting this would hardly be a grand injustice against world culture or anything, but it seems to me better to wait and see what happens with the album, which is already recorded and apparently has big names attached (like Demi Lovato). Yeah, it's generally not on to keep an article based on things in the future, but it also seems silly to delete or redirect this with the strong possibility of having to re-create in a month or two. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:13, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Not notable enough yet. Unreal7 (talk) 20:00, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep at least they have a Teen Choice Award nomination now and some Popdust award (not particularly notable)... the List of X Factor finalists article is also far from being perfectly cited (the ^{[citation needed]} inline tags in the article should also apply there), could always use more expansion with citations and people are likely to prefer editing the Fifth Harmony article instead⊾maine12329⊿ talk 12:10, 18 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep I'm actually really torn by this decision knowing that they are still not widely known across the world in different countries only on the talent show The X Factor . We might have to keep this up just in case they do release a single or album and go worldwide. However their sources still do not indicate that the girl group have reached full notability to create an article. For that reason alone it should be deleted but there is so much controversy here because sources do indicate many things which is gaining them more coverage since the show ended in December. If it does however get deleted we are risking the chances of it be deleted when they have reached full notice and notability.

Going off on what I was saying there is still a lot of coverage to be made by this group so it's all undecided here! These sources are still weak and not strong enough to hold an article which is why I'm leaning more towards the side of it being redirected to List of The X Factor finalists (U.S. season 2)#Fifth Harmony. Only because this article is poorly sited the sources are not clear and there is way too much confusing on what the article is talking about. For Example Brooke and two members are Latino, Normani Kordei is the only member in the group that's African American and there's too much talk about fan bases and celebrities being tweeted which has nothing to do about how much notice they have achieve outside of the show!

Keep. There's enough information on the group to warrant a stand-alone article. An AFD is quite ridiculous. — Statυs (talk, contribs) 23:17, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of The X Factor finalists (U.S. season 2)#Fifth Harmony per WP:BLP1E - they still have not gained notability beyond The X Factor so do not require a stand-alone article. If they have an impact on record charts somewhere in the world then they could have an article, but for now, the list entry is fine. –anemone projectors– 13:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just don't know –anemone projectors– I mean I agree with you being the fact they are not fully notable have or have gained enough coverage and the article should be redireted to List of The X Factor finalists (U.S. season 2)#Fifth Harmony but then I disagree with you when you say they have not achieved any coverage or notability actually they have as my links were stating as time goes by they are getting more and more famous then they were when they were formed together on the show. I know for a fact that they are not notable and have gained full coverage but that still does not indicate that the article should be deleted and redirected to List of The X Factor finalists (U.S. season 2)#Fifth Harmony because if it were up to me I would immediately delete the article but its not and we should wait and see what will happen to them in the near future as they are gaining more and more coverage and notability.

Keep. A steady rumble of coverage in reliable sources since the end of X Factor demonstrates that Fifth Harmony meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline. Now that they've been signed to Cowell's label and are releasing an album, the sources establishing notability will continue to roll in ([18][19]) and readers will continue to come to Wikipedia looking for information. In the past 90 days, there have been over 100,000 page views for 'Fifth Harmony'. As it stands, Fifth Harmony meets WP:GNG as well as WP:BAND criteria #1 and they are the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in reliable sources such as those linked by Gongshow and Welcometothenewmillenium.

Nobody is going to fall for that straw man. Maybe we should delete the article on Magnus Carlsen, since he was last at Corus 2007? Toccata quarta (talk) 05:51, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Magnus Carlsen is the subject of substantial coverage in reliable, third-party, editorially checked sources. Even in the last week there has been a slew of coverage of Carlsen because of the 2013 Candidates tournament in London. That is why he is notable. Now, if there were no coverage of Carlsen, and his crowning accomplishment was coming in last in 2007, then he'd be in the same deletable boat as the subject of this AFD. Thank you.

Keep. Shared first in a tournament with Savielly Tartakower is an accomplishment. Certainly not the most important chess biography, but that is not a reason to delete.

Delete I agree with OGBranniff. It's one thing to claim that someone is notable or accomplished, but where is the significant in-depth coverage in reliable sources? If it's out there somewhere, let's see it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:11, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Based a little on judgement of the results, because finishing in shared first with Tartakower (one of the top players of this age) in Scarborough, clearly establishes Saunders as a player who could reckon with the World elite at the time. In fact, Saunders seemingly defeated Tartakower in the game between them [20]. The problem with players whose accomplishments were in the 1920s and 1930s is that their merits are not always freely available on the internet, but there is cause to believe that the coverage is there. For example, British Chess Magazine has a 1950 obituary on Saunders in volume 70, unfortunately I can only see snippets of it using Google Books, but those snippets do confirm that he was one of the strongest players in London. Sjakkalle (Check!) 12:55, 17 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Saunders has an entry on page 373 of Gaige's book Chess Personalia. To me, this confers automatic notability as the author clearly states in the Introduction to his scholarly work that the following chess personalities represent " ... the great and the near-great in the world of chess.". Saunders' entry gives, in turn, a list of reliable sources that Gaige has used to establish the facts, for example, BCM (British Chess Magazine) 1950. p.285. - presumably the tribute or obituary referred to by User:Sjakkalle.

Keep (or redirect to van Canto at a minimum) - Merging too many album articles losslessly (track listings and personnel included) into the ensemble article would be messy. The number of albums with full track listings and album info to be merged into a musical ensemble or artist page was discussed here. Are we going to now start a mass deletion campaign of all non-notable albums? --Jax 0677 (talk) 16:49, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- When a topic is not notable, we don't need to aim for a lossless merge; we can summarise. If the topic is not notable, it does not require that much detail, and should not be covered in that much detail.
  In any case, I note that Jax0677 does not make any claim that the topic is notable, let alone evidence that it is notable. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 22:09, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. Jax, was that a sneaky attempt at misrepresenting the result of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Notability (music)#Merging_of_non-notable_albums, or did you just not bother to read the closing statement?
Whichever it it was, Jax has quoted from the closing admin's summary of the discussion rather than from the conclusion, which rejected any blanket approval of that point: "that consensus is to Keep current wording and merge or redirect album articles that only contain an infobox and a tracklist. Given the comments above, such merges should be done in compliance with current policies and guidelines, and when such information is considered notable (or encyclopedic) enough to be included". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 23:30, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - Do I recall you saying "If an article would be overwhelmed by listing all the tracks on non-notable albums, the solution is simple: don't list all the tracks"? My point is that neither the track listings nor the pertinent details should not go away, even if the album articles do get merged into the ensemble article. IMHO, if the artist is notable, the song names, times and participants in their albums can be listed somewhere on Wikipedia. WP is WP:NOTCENSORED, therefore the track listings should not be excluded from an artist or ensemble page so long as the artist is considered notable. The track listings and the album titles are information about the artist. Perhaps an AfD should be filed against van Canto? --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:05, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop being silly. There is no question of censorship, just of editorial commonsense. If the material overwhelms an article, some of it may be omitted; but the fact that some editors want to include material which overloads an article is no grounds for creating another article on a non-notable topic. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 01:38, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply - If the article has room, include the track listing in the article. If not, do a size split. The reason that Central Station (Phoenix) has its own article is because the Metro Light Rail (Phoenix) article would otherwise be too large. This is why WP:NALBUMS says "space permitting". --Jax 0677 (talk) 02:58, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply. Wikipedia:Splitting specifically says that notability needs to be considered when splitting a topic. An album does not become notable just because some editors ignore WP:NOTINDISCRIMINATE, and are determined to include a full track listing of every album. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:34, 10 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Van Canto. None of the band's album articles seem to have enough content to make separate articles necessary, and merging them all to the band article would make sense.
