This article has remained a stub and received virtually no editor traffic since its creation in 2009. Further internet searches reveal no mainstream media reporting on the article's subject and only one non-circular, non-crowd-edited mention of the subject of any kind (namely the single, unelaborated page of statistics on the hockey page linked to currently). Unless others can produce print sources I am not finding, I suggest deleting. Thank you. AsadR (talk) 22:30, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - an accolade that I don't have time to add to the article, also a trivial mention: First Team All-Star in junior. Also this: [1], but with no abstract, I am not really willing to pay $3 to see if this is a story of any length. tiny blurb from HHOF. Also, even at 4 games, he will have an entry in Players, a book I have that documents every NHLer from 1917 to 2003. Given his 1959 Memorial Cup performance, he could also be noted in a book I have related to the Canadian junior championship. Resolute 14:06, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • Bear in mind that I have not advocated a keep !vote, while you have. Also, I don't much care if you want to act like an ass in your interactions with me, but you should consider that your cute little WP:POINT here undermines your own keep arguments, both here and in most other AfD you participate in. Resolute 16:41, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all. I have not been hypocritically, and I do not choose when and where I will rely upon the criteria of NHOCKEY in my arguments to keep articles such as this one. My reasons in AfDs for keeping articles such as this one have been consistent. Per WP:NSPORTS, this article, and others like it, should be kept so long as they “provide reliable sources showing that the subject meets ... the sport specific criteria” as set forth in NHOCKEY. Dolovis (talk) 17:54, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Chiming in - I never looked at WP:NHOCKEY before, but if playing one game in the SM-liiga is presumed to make a player notable, Wayne Hall is highly notable in comparison.--Milowenthasspoken 20:00, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Declined PROD. I fail to see how an 85 space car park qualifies for an article. A local scheme with no wider notability. Fails WP:GNG, WPNOTTRAVEL at the least. Charles (talk) 20:12, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    Keep - I fail to see what relevance it has to Cattle? Which section were you thinking of merging it to in that article? As for Southern Vectis, they may run services through the site, but they don't own it. Incorporating the information into the main SV article would overload it.

  • Merge to Cowes (and possibly Transport on the Isle of Wight considering Cowes is a 'gateway' to the island). The article rests on two news articles in the IOW County Press in the first week of the scheme's launch. Much of the remainder of the WP article is non-notable travel information - bus routes, timetables and bus fares (which isn't the purpose of Wikipedia).

  • Delete - Park and ride lots are not notable unless it is part of a rail station. Dough4872 01:46, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I can't think of a park and ride next to a railway. In fact most stations I know have utterly draconian parking restrictions next to them - try parking outside the front of Euston Station and see how long it takes you to get clamped and towed away. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:03, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think examples such as Bristol Parkway were intended, but they are of course very different and I cannot see the car park being notable independently of the station myself. --AJHingston (talk) 10:38, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete P&R schemes are two-a-penny in the UK, and this one is small fry compared to many, eg English tourist cities. I see nothing to establish notability. --AJHingston (talk) 10:42, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge a summary to Cowes, delinking the bus routes, if mention is retained in the target. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:03, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Cowes, adding a brief bit of information about the park and ride from the sources. Some park and rides might be notable (for instance, St Catherine's Park and Ride in Winchester was the former site of the A33 Winchester Bypass where the battle of Twyford Down occurred in the early 1990s, so it might be possible to spin an article out of it) but this one isn't. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:03, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete If it was bigger and had more routes orienting from it, I'd say merge, but it really is just a glorified car park. aycliffetalk 14:41, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It's not notable in and of itself and doesn't provide sufficient useful information that a merge makes much sense. Even the references are either generally simply news reporting or mention the park and ride in passing. Obesity in the United States may be a notable article, but a mention that I enjoy bacon does not justify its own article, even if a reference appears in a reliable source on an actual notable subject.

This is an article about a book, and the author of the article is the author of the book. There is no indication why this book is notable. There is no reference to any book review. More than half of the article is about the author (so it's wp:autobiography). That part of the article is completely unreferenced, thus contrary to WP:BLP.

  • Delete. This could probably be speedied as sheer promotion. There are some assertions to notability through the epaper link, but we'd need some specific information to know which page has the article in question about the book so we'd know if this was an actual article rather than a brief mention or an advert. I searched for the book and the author's name separately, but couldn't find anything to show that this is ultimately noteworthy. There is a language barrier and the possibility for more sources, but I somewhat doubt that there is more out there beyond what is already on the article. From my experience with looking for Indian sources, the more notable subjects almost always have some sort of coverage in the English language papers or the papers that offer articles in English. This isn't a rule, but it's common enough that a lack of English language coverage in Indian sources is pretty telling- especially given that the article claims that this is widely sold and had a huge debut party.

  • Delete - fails WP:GNG as lacking any reliable source that "addresses the topic directly and in detail". Such sources as there are, or have been produced in the discussion, are peripheral or passing mentions of the mall or its occupants. I note, as background, that the failed notability proposal WP:MALL suggested a notability threshold of 800,000 square feet, more than twice the size that this mall was.

This character does not establish notability independent of Transformers through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources.

A sex advice columnist for a magazine, cited to her column in the magazine. Even her IMDb profile says she's only secured a few small acting roles, so her acting appears to be non-notable. The 'notability' tag was removed from the article almost immediately, so there seems little enthusiasm (or possibility) for the article to be improved, and I can't see any evidence of notability online. Sionk (talk) 16:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Bailey Ryan has also garnered a huge fan base on Twitter, having over 60 thousand fans as of 10/13/2013, for which other notable people have been recognized on Wikipedia (Including Rob Delaney and Megan Amram). Her appearances as a celebrity guest at the Tom Leykis listener show, Brian Howard radio show, and inclusion in MCM's top ten list, make her notable enough for Wikipedia. Her upcoming filmography will be added as it becomes available online. ojoruuso (ojoruuso) 17:12, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I can't see how the subject is notable. One of her greatest "claims to fame" is that she was selected as "One of the hottest girls of World of Warcraft" by Men's Confidence Magazine which happens to use a photo of the her for their banner heading. Why? Because, "Bailey Ryan is our resident relationship expert and senior editor". Yep, she was put on that list (which otherwise includes only A-list celebrities) by her "magazine" (blog) colleagues. Everything else is either unreliable (other blogs or IMDB) or is coverage by her (which might not be considered reliable anyway) rather than coverage of her which is what we need for WP:GNG.

  • Delete Little actual coverage of the subject that qualifies as substantial, neutral, or independent, mostly just references to interviews with Bailey. Simply having 60K followers on twitter or a cameo in a movie is not sufficient to establish notability. That the path for some to become notable *initiated* by Twitter followship, it was subsequent events that resulted in notability, not merely being popular on Twitter themselves.CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 21:59, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article appears to be a puff piece for a project. All sources look to be either from the company or clearly sourced from press releases. A close reading of the sources shows that despite initial passenger-carrying spaceflights promised since 2008, the actual vehicle does not exist beyond a few parts, such as a photograph of a nosewheel. My concern is that Wikipedia is being used as a board to carry multiple company links to increase their visibility. --Pete (talk) 16:08, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable choreographer. Appears to fail WP:BIO, WP:CREATIVE, and WP:NACTOR. Article lacks verifable, independent references. Of the 10 references only 3 mention the article subject and each of those mentions are trivial. reddogsix (talk) 15:12, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Contesting nomination. There is a solid Washington Post reference that clearly identifies the subject, her title (and recognition) in the entertainment industry, an association of importance (relationship to a world renowned rapper) and a photograph of her:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/postlive/michelle-kwan-sam-kass-and-an-ex-surgeon-general-my-worst-eating-habits-as-a-kid/2013/09/26/93499ce4-26be-11e3-ad0d-b7c8d2a594b9_gallery.html#photo=15
The Washington Post is a reputable publication...and distinguishes the subject as a person of importance in its subcaption: "We asked athletes, mayors, public health professionals and others for one food vice they had as a child — and how they managed to beat it." This demonstrates that the feedback sought from select program presenters was valued and respected at a broad and global level. It is further asserted that the subject is an important, newsworthy figure by Washington Post standards; has been featured multiple times in notable mainstream media; and has various photographic citations that are completely verifiable.Scriptly (talk) 15:53, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Scriptly (talk) 15:32, 13 October 2013 (UTC)Scriptly (talk) 15:51, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete for the reasons outlined by the nominator. There is very little at all about her online. The Washington Post quote is a brief eating advice tip by Patterson, so is not substantially about her and not counting towards her notability. Appearing near a famous person doesn't count towards notability either. Sionk (talk) 16:49, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Response to Sionk:
1. The Washington Post article is meant to encourage healthy eating habits to children afflicted by obesity. It uses well known individuals and celebrities to send out a message of healthy eating practices in much the same way public service announcements draw on celebrities to get out a particular message.
2. The Wikipedia article, written by Scriptly, does not merely speak to a subject "appearing near a famous person" -- what it establishes is a lengthy history of a choreographer's professional contributions to another (more well known) artist. The subject, in the majority of the citations, is performing alongside Hammer (not simply appearing near him). If you look at the 2012 American Music Awards photo and video, as well as the Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve photo and video, it is clear that she is actively engaged in a highly visible, professional dance routine with both Hammer and Psy. It is not difficult to pick her out. The reason is because she is prominently displayed and is a major contributor:
http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20130101/times-square-theater-district/gangnam-style-star-psy-joins-rap-icon-hammer-at-new-years-times-sq/
The Grand Finale in the 2012 American Music Awards was heralded as the highlight of the evening. The showmanship demonstrated by Tiffany Patterson is remarkable and noteworthy.
This clarification is not meant to appear negative or argumentative, what is hoped is that the collective body of references can be viewed in totality -- each lending to a more expansive understanding of the subject. Scriptly (talk) 18:10, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - #1. I don't even see any reference to the article subject in the reference. It matter not what the intent of the article, but if the article was mentioned in a non-trivial form. The article has to be supported by non-trivial references. Per WP:BASIC, "...trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability." #2 The article may have attempted to establish the individual's contribution, but there are no references to support the contribution. As far as performing with Hammer, notability is not inherited from someone else - the subject's notability has to be able to stand on its own merits. There is no substantial body of work to support notability. reddogsix (talk) 18:23, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • Need we point out the obvious? One, Aster554 has just joined Wikipedia, his other main contribution being to try and save an article about another academic of dubious notability. Two, a Google search alone is no indicator of notability (WP:GHITS), and the other assertions are meaningless. It must be shown concretely that the subject meets one of the WP:PROF criteria, or the article should be deleted, without reference to nonsense about "discrimination". - Biruitorul Talk 13:51, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agricola44 (talk) 18:31, 18 October 2013 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. The claims in the article look to me like a better fit for WP:GNG than WP:PROF. But the only thing resembling a reliable source that has been presented so far is the gds.ro story (certainly a video of a book launch party does not count as a reliable source). But we need multiple reliable sources that cover the subject in-depth, and even the gds.ro story does not have the necessary in-depth coverage. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:59, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Subject fails WP:GNG there are no third party reliable sources that cover the subject in a significant manner. it is mentioned in several travel guides, but only to say "it is central but not grand" [4] [5]. . The building is a typical 70's building of no architectural significance. no events of historic or notable value have been recorded as occurring there other than a single human trafficker using it to house 2 of his victims and a church using it as one of many many many many temporary locations. it is being demolished and being replaced by two different buildings so no future notability is possible. BURO nom per contested PROD -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:57, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Good faith Keep. The page is a perfectly fine stub-class/start-class article. The hotel is being demolished for refurbishment, and will be reopened by the same owners under a new name (by when a page rename is necessary), so there is "future notability". (It already quite popular in Singapore). More could be included in the page over time (such as the human trafficking or church location subjects the nom have mentioned). Just like any such start-articles, give it time, it will grow. Also, the nom has removed large chunks of content before the mentioned PROD. The original version could be found here Rehman 03:15, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • it is not a "perfectly fine stub" - a "perfectly fine stub" would have third party sources that talk about it. That is not the case here. It is a perfectly run of the mill hotel. And yes i have removed large chunks of text that were not supported by reliably published sources, which left the unsupportable stub. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:19, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • (e/c) and it is not going to be the "same hotel" - there are going to be two new hotel properties developed on the site. IF either of the new properties has generates significant content about it in the future after it is built, then an article can be created using the sources that do not exist now.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 03:25, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • and regarding the "events" - i have further clarified their trivial nature in my nomination post. the hotel was named as being used by a single human traficker housing 2 victims - it is not named as some sort of notorious housing location of vice. the church's use of this building as a temporary home was of no particular significance to the church - the source includes the hotel in a list of about 8 other temporary sites that were also used. Trivial passing mentions in both cases - and those were the most significant that I was able to find.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:34, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The article for the now-closed hotel doesn't offer proof of notability, and a quick search didn't find anything of note; if anyone can find evidence of past notability, please provide it. Future notability won't fly. --Larry (talk) 04:33, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to List of Transformers: Victory characters. This fictional character does not have notability independent of Transformers.

  • Comment. Hmm, this is a perplexing one. Both the USGS topographical map and Google Maps call the place Jamestown. On the other hand, this 1951 map of Baugo Township labels it Jimtown. The local public schools definitely use the name Jimtown, but there's a preschool, a church, and some other businesses that use Jamestown in their names. Earlier this year, a single editor created this article and redirected the previously existing Jamestown, Elkhart County, Indiana to it. My first impulse is to suggest that the USGS map be treated as the most authoritative current source and to recommend restoring the Jamestown article and reversing the redirect, but more research is probably needed. (Note that the book linked by Arxiloxos refers to "Jamestown, generally better known today as Jimtown", which might be taken to suggest that "Jimtown" is a nickname for a place that is more properly named Jamestown.) Deor (talk) 13:33, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, thank you, I somehow overlooked the earlier Jamestown, Elkhart County, Indiana article (and I even looked to see if there was something like that!)

That GNIS page is for a place completely different from the topic of this article.

This smells like a hoax.

  • Comment I don't understand the nom's rationale. The Egypt Independent is a reliable source which says: "A group of Egyptians have announced their intent to establish a Nazi party .. an independent Egyptian news website said on Wednesday. Al-Badeel, a leftist news portal, quoted founding member Emad Abdel Sattar as saying .." No "Facebook" there, rather Al-Badeel the source cited, but even if was Facebook who cares, many groups coalesced around Facebook it played an important role in the Arab Spring. Also Nazism is a well known and understood phenomenon in Egypt going back to WWII so it's not surprising to see it surface. The important thing for WP:NOTE is that this group has been discussed in multiple reliable sources such as Egypt Independent. They also appeared on Egyptian TV[10] as reported in The Blaze[11], The Jerusalem Post, Foreign Policy (paywall). However I'm not voting Keep since all the sources date to 2011, the formation announcement, and nothing since. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 01:13, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - With due respect to the nominator, I don't think "hoax" can be argued based upon the footnote showing from the Egypt Independent. That prospect out of the way, I'm in the favor of the lowest of low bars for articles on political parties, their leaders, and their youth sections (regardless of ideology) on the basis that this is the type of material that should be in a comprehensive encyclopedia. If no other reliable sources can be mustered, I'd still favor keeping under the policy of WP:IGNOREALLRULES (use common sense to improve the encyclopedia).

I don't see how the article can be merged with Samadhi or Samadhi (shrine) because so far (after seven long years) it does not have a single statement that can be verified. I know what a samadhi is, it is a tomb or shrine for a deceased person highly regarded in Hinduism. But this article is categorized as Tamil History and Tamil People only. It makes remarks that seem to be from word of mouth rather than books. The list is unlinked and unreferenced. It seems to serve no purpose, at least for the uninitiated reader. I would agree to merge this article if I could see something in it that could be used. While the word "jeeva samadhi" can be found on the internet, the word "jeeva" simply means body, or embodied soul. So it is a samadhi for a body. But the more general term is samadhi. To see that the common word in Hinduism is simply "Samadhi" see the Commons category by that name. Dazedbythebell (talk) 11:34, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You yourself just now said that Samadhi is a tomb and then why do you say that whole article is unverifiable? That verifies the first line of the article. Please note that verifiability has nothing to do with bunch of weblinks present at the bottom of the article. I also hope you do realize that we will not be deleting any article only because it's wrongly categorized. The lead can be merged to the "Samadhi" article whereas the list can be merged with "Samadhi (shrine)" article. Also note that AFDs are not for cleaning up articles. Also, other wikis are as reliable as this wiki. So if you are showing us something on commons, that's useless. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:15, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree the first line can be verified, at least by me: "Jeeva Samadhi or Adhishtanam or Brindavanam is the tomb of a Hindu Spiritual Guru or a saint." For Adhishtanam, I get "Basis; a principle in which some other principle inheres" [17] and "One who is the root cause (and foundation) of the Universe" [18]. Lines like "The seed cells in the body never get damaged" are so strange and unexplained I cannot see how this can simply be 'cleaned up.' If it could be cleaned up, a Hindu expert like yourself would have done so. Are lines like this to simply be ported to Samadhi as is without references? Is the list to be moved to Samadhi (shrine) without references? How is that a solution? Dazedbythebell (talk) 12:51, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Again, being unreferenced doesn't mean its not verifiable. Being unreferenced doesn't mean its not notable. If at all you were looking properly, you would find all the necessary references within Wikipedia's other articles itself. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Funny! Why do you think Samadhis of Tamil people should have a different dedicated article? Since when did Dnyaneshwar become Tamil? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 04:04, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Because Tamil people is how the article categorizes itself. You seem to feel it could be merged. So is the article to simply be tagged "merge"? Who is going to merge it? As it stands it is orphaned, redundant, and written as an essay with unsubstantiated metaphysical opinions. I am surprised you don't begin to improve it, since you feel it is an okay article. Dazedbythebell (talk) 14:51, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia isn't compulsory. Wikipedia doesn't have deadlines. I don't have to do anything; especially when ignorant people come up and start tagging articles because it doesn't make sense to them from their western view points. And that doesn't happen like once or twice a month with WP:INDIA but almost everyday. Your ignorance of the subject has been reflected quite well over here. So has been your ignorance of how Wikipedia works. Without a single constructive edit to the article since you AFDed it, you have shifted your opinion from delete to keep with rename and you base that on the categorization of the page, which existed even at the time you AFDed it. Also you are assuming bad faith on my part and other WP:INDIA editors by questioning who will be merging the articles. We have approx 200 articles currently up for merger since their AFD. You can invest your energy worrying about those. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 03:58, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please no personal attacks. My vote remains to delete. There are many excellent India articles on Wikipedia. Sai Baba of Shirdi is a GA article for instance, and has plenty of references. I don't think you are admitting how strange this article is written. "It is believed that this force remains forever and the time limit for the Samadhi status depends upon the saint's bio-magnetic strength". Believed by whom? What is bio-magnetic strength? What are seed cells? If I am ignorant, I would hope this article would inform me. I don't see what part of it could be merged, as none of it is referenced. I do know that a samadhi is a tomb. I think that's the most often used term. That's all I know. Merging this article with another would make more sense if there was something in the article that was cited, and if it wasn't so strangely written. A person has to read it to see what I mean. Maybe we should ask for mediation, as you and I don't seem to agree, and we seem to be the only interested editors here. Dazedbythebell (talk) 11:03, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the reasons I would give for deletion of this article, from the list or reasons at WP:Deletion policy:
6. Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources
7. Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed
Also the list seems unusable because it does not list articles, and it has no references. Therefore nearly anyone could add anything to the list.
If there was cited information, it could be merged. But there is almost nothing that can be merged except part of (but not all of) the first sentence. Dazedbythebell (talk) 11:37, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the article could be redirected to samadhi (shrine) (rather than being deleted) and the name jeeva samadhi added to the names samadhi and samadhi mandir there. But without the uncited content. Would you be open to that idea? Dazedbythebell (talk) 11:43, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Regarless of "merge" or "delete", I have nothing against keeping a list of Samadhis in India, but I do not know, and it is not made clear, as to how representative or partial the current list is. Also in the title, the "jeeva" part, seems to make the article specific to the teachings linked to agasthiar.org. If not, we would need to have more sources, independent of agasthiar, referring to samadhis as "jeeva samadhis". But even so, mention of bodies that do not decay after death, notions of magnetic fields acting as the life force in the corpse and seed cell ideas, that appear to be the original research of the writer, have to go, unless they can be written in the form "according to A, (an accepted as reliable source), so and so". No such text given as factual information is permitted in Wikipedia. Hoverfish Talk 15:00, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Indian state of Tamil Nadu

If you look at the list of samadhis in the article you will note that they are mostly in the state of Tamil Nadu. For that reason I think it is not a neutral representation of samadhi shrines in India. Dazedbythebell (talk) 16:25, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From the looks of it, I see that such a list would be a huge project, and then the hardest question would be which of these samadhi mandirs would be important or notable enough to include. So under this title and these circumstances, the present list is unusable. Hoverfish Talk 20:51, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The second and third line of the article can provide a starting point for an article, but the rest of it is plain op-eds introduced by different editors. At this point, this article does more to misinform readers than any encyclopaedic purpose. Even if refs are found (and they can be found deeply embedded in scholarly works) the article needs to be written from scratch, not from a smorgasbord of opinions and listings dubiously sourced. WP:TNT applies. —SpacemanSpiff 14:11, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this guy killed his wife in 1992 and was himself killed in prison in 1994. No one would give him a second thought except that another prisoner was killed in the same attack, by the name of Jeffrey Dahmer. This guy fails WP:GNG, WP:ONEEVENT and WP:CRIMINAL. Nominated once previously and kept largely because of the supposed effect he had on the Northridge Mall but those rare reliable sources that link the murder to the mall's closing do so in one sentence (that starts with "Some people suggest") which offers no evidence in support of that supposition (the mall was open for 11 years after Anderson killed his wife and 9 years after Anderson's own death).

  • Keep It's not 1E because there were two three events, regardless he was in the wrong place wrong time, GNG covers it. He is still being discussed to this day in magazines, books and journals; and it was covered in local, national and international press. Some additional sources follow:
-- Green Cardamom (talk) 02:18, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • If he had only killed his wife and not been attacked at the same time as Dahmer there is no way that he would pass any guideline. There are hundreds if not thousands of murderers whose crime gets covered in the local press and they don't and shouldn't have articles. The only event for which he could possibly be notable is being attacked at the same time as Dahmer. One event. Sources discuss the event of killing Dahmer to a great extent. they do not discuss Jesse Anderson in the sort of detail to sustain a separate article. "He killed his wife and then two years later he got killed at the same time as someone famous." That's all there is. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 05:13, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources show notable for three things: Killing of wife, death in prison, archetypal symbol of someone who used race during a crime (as discussed in multiple scholarly sources linked above). -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:03, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • He is not notable for killing his wife, any more than the hundreds of other murderers without articles are. Simply committing murder does not make one notable. That "archetypal symbol" nonsense is nonsense and an attempt to bootstrap the non-notable murder into something it's not. Getting attacked at the same time as someone notable does not confer notability. The simple fact remains that if this guy had been cleaning the kitchen instead there'd be no question of deletion. The notability of Dahmer is not inherited by the guy who was attacked in the same room with him. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 15:24, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Your continued attempt to try and hide the sources by collapsing the thread is not appreciated.[19] It is standard and normal to list sources in AfD, that is what we are supposed to do, making it "easier to read" makes little sense when reading the sources is exactly the reason this AfD exist. Stop trying to hide the sources and interfering with the due process of this AfD. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 01:35, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am not trying to "hide" the sources. Indeed, I hope many people look at your supposed "sources" and recognize that many of them merely mention this person in one or two sentence blurbs along the lines of "also attacked was" and so are not substantial coverage as mandated by notability guidelines. My intent was to make the overall nomination easier to read by reducing a gigantic block of difficult to read text to an expandable band. Your accusations of misconduct on my part are nothing but baseless and an abject failure to assume good faith. Shame on you. Stop trying to distract from the substance of the nomination with what amounts to a lie. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 08:49, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • But by all means, let's more closely examine the sources upon which you hang your hat:
  • Gibson: A five-page anthropological study of violence that mentions Anderson in one sentence. Not substantive.
  • Russell-Brown: One paragraph out of an entire book. Not substantive.
  • Mayo: One sentence out of a 400 page book. Not substantive.
  • Fine: Three sentence out of a 300 page book. Not substantive.
  • Curry: Two sentences out of a 665 page book. Not substantive.
  • Coleman: three sentences out of a 440 page book. Not substantive.
  • And on and on it goes. One "source" after another that consist of nothing but "This guy was also attacked at the same time." Try reading what constitutes substantial coverage. One- and two- and three-sentence passing mentions don't come anywhere close. Any subject you can think of is likely to come up with hits if all you do is plug it into Google. Google hits are not a measure of notability and simply copying and pasting a dozen or so of them into an AFD not only is not an argument for retention, it's an indicator that the person doing it lacks certain fundamental understandings of relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Come up with sources that aren't these two sentence nothings. Jerry Pepsi (talk) 09:03, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Significant coverage" is not a mathematical count of words. Significant coverage could be a couple sentences and be significant, depending on what those sentences are and in what context and sources. Furthermore, when someone has enough mentions in enough sources over time, the sheer mass of coverage itself becomes significant. Also some of these sources demonstrate the topic has been discussed as an archetypal racism case which obviously goes beyond "This guy was also attacked at the same time." -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:15, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • From WP:GNG: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a passing mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." (emphasis added) Repeating in 100 sources that this guy was attacked at the same time as Dahmer with no additional information does not somehow add up to significant coverage. And please, which of your many two-sentence passing mentions discuss this supposed "archetypal racism"? None of the two-sentence mentions I saw included this significant discussion that you claim.

The result was redirect to Doctor_Steel#Controversy. This has been open almost a month, relisted twice, and has gotten nontrivial attention from editors, so it deserves a close. The nom's Delete was based in "no independent sources" but then the nom later acknowledges independent sources were provided. The Keep !votes point to Wired and Coilhouse but acknowledge those sources do not provide significant coverage of the album itself, and also point to other poorly-sourced articles about albums but acknowledge the WP:OSE weakness of that argument. The Redirect argument is strong per the general agreement here that the sources found cover the controversy and not the album. Zad68 15:13, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This album is notable in that it was actually at the center of the controversy in 2008 that had Dr. Steel fans and Joss Whedon fans clashing, and was reported on Wired, Coilhouse and other places. While not specifically mentioned by name in the articles themselves, it is mentioned by name in the comments attached to these articles and made clear from them that this was central to the controversy and key to understanding it. (It was also mentioned by Steel himself as the specific reason for the controversy in his MySpace blog, though MySpace has taken their blogs down.) --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 01:18, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It is also listed as an album of Steel's in an article on PlanetNews. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 01:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Doctor_Steel#Controversy. The problem is, this controversy was relatively small when you get down to it. Other than that there really isn't any true coverage of the album as a whole or any reviews that I can find. The pertinent data about the whole Steel/Horrible thing is already logged on the main article for Dr. Steel, so there's really no need to keep an entire article for that purpose alone. We know it exists, but existing and receiving coverage for one event isn't enough. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 03:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, yes, but it was rather a big deal in the steampunk and whedonverse communities back then. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 03:52, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • My big problem is that other than a handful of articles about the potential idea theft (which looks pretty damning TBH), there is zero coverage for the album. What's more is that Wired and Coilhouse talk about Whedon potentially taking the entire concept of Dr Steel rather than this particular album in specific. (The Wired source doesn't mention this album at all!) From what I can see the only thing specifically taken from this album would have been the title of the album. Everything else is about Dr. Steel as a whole rather than his actions on this album specifically. I'm not saying that this wasn't a huge deal and shouldn't be covered, just that this doesn't really focus in-depth on the album in specific. Considering that we have zero album reviews from reliable sources and zero coverage that focuses specifically on this album at length, it makes more sense to redirect this to the main article. The coverage here just isn't enough to show notability outside of Dr. Steel as a whole. If you can find me one review, one review in a reliable source then I'll change my vote. The problem is that it just isn't out there, although if anyone knows anyone in one of the major sites that review stuff like this (the horror sites such as Dread Central actually review stuff like this quite often) feel free to ask them to do you a solid and post a review. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 16:59, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep When did Wheedon swap from being plucky little browncoat to evil Disney steamroller? The Dr Horrible article is enormous, because Wheedon and Fillion are big money and mags likes Forbes will take an interest. Although even there, many of the sources are to out-and-out fansites like Whedonesque.com, that raise all sorts of WP:RS red flags.
This album has nothing like that same level of money behind it or interest yet paid to it. Yet our barrier for notability in music is very low (please, don't quote OSE at me, I've read it already, but just look at the plethora of trivially minor rappers we're covering). This is an album by an artiste in a niche scene, yet it's sourced and it forms part of their discography. We are just not in the habit of deleting such articles.
As to the specific complaints in the nomination, then what do they mean? "Never-signed"? "Self-published"? This isn't the 1970s - music doesn't need an established label to get it published. Why would any small artiste choose to sign to a label any more? WP's hard line on self-publication is tied to use as WP:RS, not their inherent notability. Now I'm not claiming that Dr Steel is an entirely reliable source for his theories on child rearing and the appropriate place of domestic robots in the home, but that's not the issue here.

I added a reference after the complaint had been brought up. A good 99% of albums listed in this wiki have no references, especially in niche genres, as the threshold for notability in music is very low as Mr. Dingley correctly pointed out. And an album's being self-published is completely irrelevant in this day and age, as Mr. Dingley also correctly pointed out. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 11:43, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • The threshold is low, yes, but at the same time it still requires coverage that focuses specifically on the album. We don't have that here. The first two links are for Discogs, which looks to be a typical database type entry. The third link is to a primary source, which cannot show notability. The fourth link is to Coilhouse, which is predominantly about Dr. Steel as a whole. The album name is sort of briefly mentioned, but that's about it. When it comes to showing notability specifically for the album, this is pretty much trivial. Now the Wired source doesn't mention this album at all. It focuses solely on the idea that Whedon stole the concept of Dr. Steel, not that he specifically stole this specific album. The point is, none of the sources that could be usable as RS are ones that focus specifically on this album. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by Dr. Steel being a notable musician. At the end of the day the controversy is over the potential idea theft of the Dr. Steel concept as a whole, not the idea theft of this specific music album. WP:NALBUMS specifically states "An album requires its own notability, and that notability is not inherited and requires independent evidence. That an album is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article.". We don't have enough here to show that this album has received any notice outside of Dr. Steel and the controversy that seems to focus specifically on the idea that Whedon idea thefted the concept of Dr. Steel as a whole- not this specific album. If other articles exists, then all that means is that they haven't been deleted yet. As much as I'd like to keep this, it doesn't pass notability guidelines for albums.

  • Keep on the basis of an incoherent nomination. First "most of the information is about plot details" is not reason to delete. If there is some non plot information, there is a basis for keeping. e.g why need there be " current assertion for future improvement of the article"? The possible of future improvement is present in any subject about which there is continuing discussion, and a merge permits this. What is the meaning of "extended coverage is unnecessary" ? We do not need extended coverage to keep an article, just enough coverage to justify one. We certainly don't need it to keep merged content. DGG ( talk ) 22:56, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:BURO even if your assertion was true, but ...
    • WP:NOTPLOT and WP:WHYN clearly observe that if the only content we can source is plot details, we should not have a stand alone article about the subject.
    • An assertion that "I have some sources that I will be bringing" made on the talk page would have been a reason to not bring the article to AfD at this time, but there was no one indicating that they were searching for data the would have made a courtesy delay in nominating for AfD. or a large number of similarly currently non independently sourced articles of a similar nature that had recently been brought up to standards by sources appearing could have also been raised as a courtesy reason not to nominate a similar article for deletion. However on the contrary, a large number of similarly situated non third party sourced articles have been brought up for deletion and NOT been found to have any third party sourcing forthcoming.
    • A merge most certainly does NOT prevent any future appearance of sources from being used to spin off a child article if the content about this particular subject begins to get to large to be handled appropriately in the merged article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:45, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
