Delete. WP:NFOOTY says that fully professional players are generally deemed notable, but I'm not sure if this applies to a fourth-tier soccer league. The National Premier Soccer League isn't listed among leagues that the WikiProject Football has recognized in the past[1], and I trust their judgement.TheBlueCanoe 17:25, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Linville[edit]

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

Matthew Linville only really had one significant role, and the notability requirements for actors suggest that people need at least 2 significant roles in notable films or television shows. Even at that, Linville's role as "Jimmy Moon" in 7th Heaven is not significant enough to get him on the fairly long list of major characters on the article about 7th heaven. To make things worse, up until recently this was really a character summary masquerading as a biography. The only thing of any note that Linville has ever done is play a second tier character in a TV show, he is not notable. John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:52, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. One secondary role in a TV series and a scattering of other minor credits isn't enough to satisfy WP:NACTOR. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:27, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Another minor child actor best known for one role accompanied by other minor work. After searching at Google News, I found one link. Most (child) actors don't start acting again unless it's to embark on a more serious level, but if he does act again or does anything else notable, I have no prejudice towards a future article.

Minnesota State Park Geocaching Challenge[edit]

Halloween Forum[edit]

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

Deprodded with a promise to work on, but I see no way it could be worked on. Gbooks and Gnews turn up only false positives. Utterly fails WP:WEB — no sourcing besides the forum itself and Alexa rankings. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 22:39, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:NWEB. Seems to have one relevant hit on Google News, but it's subscription. In any case, that wouldn't be enough to establish notability. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:17, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Lowell[edit]

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

This was recently deleted via an invalid second prod, so I restored it. I originally deprodded this a year ago at which time I found enough coverage to convince me that he may be be notable. Since then anonymous editors removed most of the content. I can't find enough now to demonstrate notability, so bringing to AfD to get wider input. Michig (talk) 21:35, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cedric (W.I.T.C.H.)[edit]

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

This character does not establish notability independent of W.I.T.C.H. through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary.

Redirect I'm on the fence between deleting and redirecting to Alfred Szklarski#Adventures of Tomek Wilmowski.

Keep This page will be referred to for the next three years by many readers. Purrum (talk) 23:04, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for two reasons: 1) on procedural grounds: deletion nominations which don't make any case for deletion beyond vaugely waving at a policy should be rejected out of hand as a waste of everyone's time 2) this isn't OR anyway: electoral pendulums are one of the most common tools used to compare the standing of political parties in Australia, and they're widely complied and published. Nick-D (talk) 01:30, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately, there is a value judgement attached to the seats. That is clearly own research as the sources provided do not give any value judgement. The Banner talk 11:20, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure what you're referring to here. The seats are ordered by the size of the previous election's Two-party-preferred vote margin, which is the standard way of presenting Australian electoral pendulums. The seats with a small margin are more vulnerable to a swing in votes against the party which currently holds it. Nick-D (talk) 07:04, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think the nominator, when saying to a "value judgement" is applied, is referring to the classification of seats as marginal, fairly safe and safe? This classification is based on the one consistently applied by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), and is used in National Seat Status reports and other AEC material. This can be referenced for this list here, where the AEC applies the seat status classification to the 2013 election results. (There is a "Very Safe" classification used here which is not in the AEC definition, but if there is concern over this, it is easy to remove.) --Canley (talk) 10:23, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - I have removed the "Very Safe" headings as they are not used by the AEC or ABC to classify seats (I have left the coloration though), and referenced the AEC classification. --Canley (talk) 10:57, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have a concern about notability. It's sourced to two Australian government sources, which alone aren't enough for WP:GNG. There may be special election-coverage notability separate from GNG. I found only two news sources, but they're not exactly independent, because AFAIK they're government owned: [3] and [4]. Can we expect discussion of this particular topic in further independent RS over the next 3 years? Just my 2c. --Lexein (talk) 07:23, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The ABC is entirely independent of the government. The Government funds it, but it has complete editorial freedom in exactly the same way that the BBC (it's model) does, and it's often identified as Australia's most trusted news source. This article is part of a series (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pendulums_for_Australian_federal_elections ), and this really is a standard way of presenting the standing of the two main Australian political parties: please see the Mackerras pendulum article (if Mackerras hasn't published his version of this yet, he's presumably only waiting for counting in the final seat to be decided to be completed). Nick-D (talk) 09:47, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Likewise for the Australian Electoral Commission—operated and funded by the Australian government, but as a completely independent statutory body. The AEC is the only source of election results to the media and the public as they administer the whole process and conduct the count, so it's silly to dismiss it as a usable factual source that is somehow tainted or biased by its status as a government-commissioned body. In terms of notability, election results, their margins and "safeness" thereof, and yes, electoral pendulums, are widely discussed, published and broadcast in the media for many years. --Canley (talk) 10:45, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Fair enough. The article might be helped by the addition of the word "independent", for non-Australian readers, so they don't fall into the same trap I did. I've done that. --Lexein (talk) 21:36, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Here's a (pre-election) version from the Australian Catholic University: link. --Surturz (talk) 04:27, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per my comments above. This isn't just something knocked up by some Wikipedia editors as original research or opinion. It is based on solid factual data (official election results and seat classification) from the independent election administration body. Additionally, there should be no question of notability: Fairfax, News Corp and the ABC, as well as commercial television stations have broadcast and published variations on the Mackerras pendulum in their election coverage, throughout the campaign and afterwards (I have linked to some above). --Canley (talk) 10:45, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is sourced directly from AEC figures, and the Mackerras pendulum is a concept invented by a reputable expert over 30 years ago and used religiously in the media (especially in newspaper articles) over the entire time since. Orderinchaos 12:09, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I'm not sure if they are used overseas, but here in Australia the Mackerras pendulum is widely used often in political news coverage. --Surturz (talk) 12:32, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Savage Land[edit]

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

This does not establish notability independent of Marvel Comics through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources. Most of the information is made up of plot details better suited to Wikia. There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary. TTN (talk) 12:55, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Keep. I found an article at USA Today, which discusses the Savage Land in some depth, and an "top ten" style article at What Culture, which might not be a reliable source. I don't know. Maybe someone else can find better sources, but it looks like this might be notable. I never really liked Ka-Zar or the Savage Land stories, so I'm kind of at a loss as to what to search for. I did a few searches for articles comparing the setting to its obvious influences, but I didn't get anything good. I think there's potential here, but I'm not turning up a lot of hits. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 14:21, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Could it be viable as a series article? Cutting down the fictional elements to a couple paragraphs in a setting section and focusing on the real world aspect as basis for however many series seems fine (unless there aldeady is one somewhere.) If someone wants to try doing that, I'm fine withdrawing it. TTN (talk) 14:36, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ka-Zar, the most famous denizen, is basically just Tarzan with an attitude problem, and the Savage Land itself is basically just Skull Island. This is stated rather flatly by Crave Online. Maybe I've cobbled together enough links to establish notability, but I was hoping for something more substantial. There's a lot to say about the influences of these pulp roots, no matter how derivative the end result is. Your idea to minimize the in-universe writing certainly has merit, and I was aiming for the same thing. However, changing the article's scope would probably have to be established through consensus on the talk page. Unfortunately, I think there are a lot of people who would view removal of any content as "deletionism", despite WP:PLOT and WP:INUNIVERSE. It sounds fine to me, but I foresee problems getting any consensus. I'm going to change my vote to "keep", but it's a very weak keep, unless someone else can dig up better sources than what I found. I'm not even 100% convinced that What Culture is a reliable source. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:02, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As far as i can tell, an annual report of a high school competition does not meet notability guidelines; the competition itself might (Manning cup football competition), though that is possibly also questionable.

Mikhail Khazin[edit]

The article has been already deleted from ru-wiki for the lack of notability (see the discussion) and moved for deletion in uk-wiki. To summarize the discussion held there, it follows that this person holds no recognition as an economist, never published a work seriously accepted by anyone in the economic community and apparently lacks any economic education (possessing formal education as a statistician). His publicity, primarily self-induced (the creation of wiki-articles is one of the steps in this direction), is due to his non-significant appearances in Russian television and radio talkshows, invited each time to present his bizzare appocaliptic view of forthcoming Fall of AmeЯiKa (according to his "prophecies" several years ago, the US economy should have collapsed by now and the starving American citizens should be eating their pets as we speak), however winning no recognition even as a journalist or any other media-related professional. As it happened when ru-wiki article was moved for deletion, be prepared to his IP-anonymous clone attacks accusing Da Amerikan Liberals of a plot to erase the memory of his "breakthrough researches".

Dan Green (author)[edit]

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

An author of self-published pseudohistorical books about how the Holy Grail is actually buried in Lincoln Cathedral. The article has a fair number of sources, but most of these are either very minor press coverage in Lincolnshire newspapers or are unreliable self-published fringe conspiracy/paranormal websites.

If you search for the books that Green has written, there are no reliable sources for them either. "The Lincoln Da Vinci Code" has one hit from the BBC, which is a comment someone made. The rest is all conspiracy sites and people's personal home pages. The same is true of the DVD "The Murder of Mary Magdalene: Genocide of the Holy Bloodline". There's a YouTube link, some unreliable conspiracy sites and pretty much nothing else.

Fails the criteria at WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR. The article also seems rather promotional. That it finishes with a paragraph discussing how his theory about the Holy Grail must be right because a psychic used her powers of percipience to "see" the Holy Grail... well, that's befitting an asylum not an encyclopaedia. —Tom Morris (talk) 08:10, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This whole business is pseudo-history of a kind close to conspiracy theories. WP should not be countenancing such rubbish. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Green WIKI neither fails the criteria at WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR. Whether you agree or disagree with his theories is irrelevant. He is a notable author and documentary filmmaker, who appears on television broadcasts and gives talks and lectures both in the UK and the USA. It would appear there is a concerted attempt to have this page removed simply because certain individuals don't believe in the author's work, and have misrepresented his work and quotes in an excessive pruning of the page. Undoubtedly the critics of Dan Green have never read any of his work and the depth of research he and others have conducted into the subjects he discusses.

Nobody should be making a judgement based upon whether or not the studies have any merit, but neither should we assume that everyone voting or editing the article is doing so in order to misrepresent the author. I removed a good amount of information from the page because not only did it read like a non-neutral fan page, but it also read like a pretty big spam entry for the author. That sort of thing is fine for blogs, but not for Wikipedia. I've reverted back to my version because to be perfectly honest, the version you reverted to actually does more to make the page look non-notable and spammy than about a potentially notable person. I would like to caution you against making any such accusations in the future. My biggest concern so far is that all of the sources are predominantly local. Local coverage is always greatly depreciated because local news sources always have a vested interest in promoting someone local: it's good for business, whether the news coverage is negative or positive. As far as showing in lectures, broadcasts, or documentaries goes, those don't always translate to notability here on Wikipedia. Lectures almost never show notability unless the lecture has been covered in reliable sources that are independent of Green, the place holding the lecture, or anyone involved with the lecture. It's the same reason why most public speaking arrangements or musical concerts aren't the type that give notability, regardless of the venue or topic. Now when it comes to television appearances, sometimes those can give notability. Sometimes. If you can show where Green has been the focus of multiple television or radio spots that have focused on him (and not as someone they brought in for a 1-2 sentence "yes, this exists" trivial appearance), then this would help greatly towards notability. The one thing to be careful of is that you note what show he's appearing on. If it's a local channel then that gets depreciated for the same reasons as the newspapers. If his appearance is on a show that isn't really considered to be a reliable source, then that won't really count towards notability regardless of how well known the show is. For example, if Green were to appear on Coast to Coast AM, that wouldn't really be a good source for notability, even though the show is wildly popular. His appearance in or creation of documentaries can help notability, but only if the documentaries have received sustained coverage in reliable sources. If he was someone who appeared in the documentary, then the coverage must mention him to a reasonable extent. Just saying that he was in the documentary isn't enough. In any case, that's my biggest concern and while my current decision is weak delete based upon Green really only having local coverage, if you can show coverage in non-local and reliable sources, I'm willing to change my opinion.

List of podcatchers[edit]

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

Wikipedia is not a directory WP:NOTDIR. This is almost entirely a list of external links for items with no independent verification WP:V. Has been tagged with this concern for over 3 years. There's a small number of items that have their own WP pages that would comfortably fit at the bottom of the Podcast article. Marasmusine (talk) 06:37, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I've removed the redundant mentions and the ones without articles, leaving us with 15 articles. At this point I'm not sure if this would be best served in the main podcast article, or if there's merit in other alternatives such as creating an article about the specific software called podcatchers that plays podcasts and listing that there, or creating a subcategory for podcatcher software and linking to that on the main article for podcasts. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:24, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I was considering this, but almost all those remaining aren't podcatchers per se, they are more generalized software that happen to support podcasts (WinAmp, Feedbooks etc). So we end up with a "List of software that has feature X", which I think is overly specific. Marasmusine (talk) 08:48, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alexander von Roon[edit]

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

I'm nominating this for deletion after seeing the related article The Manhattan Dating Project up for deletion. I cleaned this up with the hopes of finding notability, as the original version [10] did assert some notability by saying that he supposedly won an award. I can't really find any mention of him winning an award, so I'm going to assume that it's minor. None of his acting roles were particularly noteworthy, as they're all bit parts or uncredited. His director and producer work are equally non-notable by Wikipedia's standards for notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:26, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Related AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Manhattan Dating Project Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 05:29, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The article's creator (whom I believe to be the manager of von Roon) had added several links to the article, which can be seen at this edit. The problem is that none of them can be used as a RS. Most of them are very unusable to show notability, as they're either links to a Weeds wikia about the episode he had a bit part in or they're articles written by von Roon. There was a link to the WP entry (and a mirror of said entry) about a college he attended, which lists him as a "notable alumni"... which means nothing, since anyone can add that and looks to have only been recently added by a newish editor with this edit. The only link that looks even slightly usable is this one and even that's fairly dodgy. Even if we accept it as a RS, that's only one source. The only source currently on the article is primary, as Backstage will frequently post articles about their members that "scored an interesting role recently thanks to a casting notice in Back Stage" and email them about it. It's essentially an advert for Backstage when you get down to it, since it's in their best interests to portray their member's success. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:11, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How's your German? All I managed to get was that there was something "by/from" von Roon a "Hollywood reporter". Was that piece written by him or by someone else (no author given) about him? Either way, I'm not quite convinced it's a reliable source. Stalwart111 06:58, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless significant coverage in German is found. I was actually going to hold off voting and comment instead but after completing my analysis, I believe there's not much for a good article here. Indeed, my first Google News search found German links, which I don't speak. As usual, I found two DVD links here (French) and here (German, "Der rosarote Panther [DVD] - Review") for Bruno and Chuck respectively. For his one-time work for NCIS, I found these links (German as well). It's possible he may be a little more known in Germany, considering it seems he grew up there, but it doesn't even appear there may be enough for a German Wikipedia article (at least from my POV). After performing nearly 10 different searches at Google News, I found nothing else. I don't even think there's enough to support a merge/redirect somewhere even though E!

Thunder (assistive technology)[edit]

Redirect to List of screen readers. I found a review article Comparing NonVisual Desktop Access and Thunder that looks reliable, but it is the only reliable source I have been able to find. Without multiple in-depth RS, the topic fails general notability guidelines per WP:GNG. But basic information about the screen reader is verifiable and 'Thunder assistive technology' is a reasonable search term. Per WP:PRESERVE, we should seek to preserve verifiable content, so I recommend a redirect to List of screen readers, where it is already listed. --Mark viking (talk) 03:24, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mark viking: did you check the sources already within the article? ([11], [12], [13]). Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:52, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I should have discussed these, too. ScreenReader.net is primary to the makers of Thunder themselves. The Communities in Control source is reliable and has three short paragraphs. The Living with Dyslexia source has one paragraph that looks a little promotional. The AAATE reference looks reliable and has one paragraph not primarily about Thunder. The review article I found and the Communities in Control source are multiple reliable sources, but the latter is marginally in depth at best. My sense is that this topic is not quite notable, but if the consensus was keep, I could see their point of view. If other in-depth RS show up, I'll be happy to reconsider my recommendation. --Mark viking (talk) 19:56, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Maybe a case of WP:TOOSOON; the chorale is only three years old. I'm sure it is popular and people enjoy it, but the criterion for an article here is significant coverage by independent reliable sources, and I couldn't find ANY coverage at Google News Archive. A sentence could be added to the article Sacramento, California#Music but I would not advise a redirect; the name is too generic. --MelanieN (talk) 00:14, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete If it meets NMUSIC, it needs the sources to prove it. I also looked around for a while, but found nothing. If solid sources exist off-line, they still need to be added. Grayfell (talk) 02:28, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are print sources as well, for example there were several articles in the Slavic Observer. It is a Russian-language source, so I am not sure how to quote it. Do I just translate the title or give the original? I also found this review of their Rachmaninov concert on October 26, 2013.[15]--Sanya3 (talk) 03:58, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Here is an article from the Russian magazine "International Affairs" covering the recent Rachmaninov concert: http://interaffairs.ru/read.php?item=10166

I just did a web search for "Slavic Observer" and the first result was this Wikipedia article, so I'm reluctant to accept it as being a significant source. Do you have any verifiable info on how significant this newspaper is? The Sacramento Choral Calendar link is extremely specific in focus. It's hard to imagine that such a website wouldn't have info on this chorale. International Affairs is a news-organ of the Russian state. That wouldn't matter, except that the concert was apparently partly funded by the Russian Consulate? That's what it looks like, anyway. Beyond that, the article is mostly a letter from one of the organizers of the concert. It's basically a press-release, and is too WP:PRIMARY to be useful, in my opinion. The video link above is mostly about the mansion that a particular concert was held at, and is otherwise a concert-listing on a local morning news show.

Loudflower[edit]

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

Does not meet WP:BAND although they almost meet WP:GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:38, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Loudflower released or was included in three releases from significant independent label grey dot records (now reflected with a Discography section), included a member who would later join notable band Drivin N Cryin, and was also part of a lawsuit in which the band sued its record label, forming a separate corporation in order to do so. It is questionable whether the article meets WP:BAND under criterion 5, but the sum total of the article certainly meets WP:GNG. - Brother Bulldog (talk) 21:10, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that being included on compilation recordings counted toward notability and that blogs were RSes that counted toward notability. How foolish of me. What we have for sources is a RS review, a press release from the band's label, a blog, and the result of a legal settlement. Only the first counts. That's why I nominated them. Please read the guidelines again since they don't meet GNG or BAND. Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:37, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sarcasm aside, you bring up valid points, which I am more than happy to address. First, I was not including the compilation towards criterion 5 of BAND, and I had already acknowledged that whether the full album and EP together qualified as notable was questionable. Second, I find it unusual that you wouldn't consider the results of legal proceedings to be a RS; I would think court records are reasonably reliable. Finally, I agree that the article needs more references, and I have a list of several that I am currently tracking down. (two from 7ball, one from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, one from HM, and an entry in The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music), but unfortunately none of them have online editions from the late 1990s, so I'm having to find print copies to cite. Would the inclusion of those RSes meet your standards? - Brother Bulldog (talk) 18:35, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are a great many lawsuits and their existence is not confirmation of notability. If the issue is that the suit existed, the settlement would suffice. To confirm notability, not so much.

Feature articles in the music magazines would count toward notability. Reviews wouldn't. Feature articles from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution would be great, but fluff pieces that discuss the band's upcoming tours or a recent performance at a local club wouldn't. Non-trivial coverage is the key here.

The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Christian Music (Powell) has a half-column entry on the band. Just after the two-and-a-half page entry on the Lost Dogs, and just before the three-quarter-column entry on Love Coma and one-column entry on Darlene Love. Not all entries in that tome are worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia. For instance, over the next few pages we see the same size entries for Lovewar, Luit-Kriss, [[:Claire Lynch], and Windy Lyre. Non-trivial coverage is the key here as well. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:01, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interestingly, I notice you also nominated Love Coma for deletion, on very similar grounds, and that article was retained due to no consensus. I will step out of this conversation, and simply state that, if an article could arguably be notable, I would prefer to see Wikipedia err on the side of caution regarding deletions. - Brother Bulldog (talk) 19:42, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and fails to provide evidence subject is notable in lieu of sources under WP:ANYBIO. Googling turned up nothing useful. All I found were lots of trivial mentions and WP:PRIMARY interviews. Msnicki (talk) 23:31, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Sosumi. He is discussed in many online sources but also in history books. For example The Apple Revolution (Random House 2012), Apple Confidential 2.0 (No Starch Press 2004). His name is out there and people will want to link to it and find it and we have enough sourcing to discuss in the Sosumi article. I believe he is a significant creative, but the sources don't have it yet covered beyond the Sosumi story, which is not enough to build a full biography article with. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 05:53, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notability established by [16] and [17] and a general cultural frenzy for anything having to do with Apple. ~KvnG 18:24, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB only offers a one-line confirmation that he appeared in a documentary along with a lot of other people; that's a trivial mention. The second source is a blog entry that merely reprints the subject's own remarks verbatim; even if this was a reliable source (it's not) it's still WP:PRIMARY and unhelpful in establishing notability. Msnicki (talk) 08:44, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I admit, I haven't watched the documentary. What leads you to believe his appearance is trivial? Boing Boing is an online magazine, not a blog. It is certainly not self published. I consider it reliable. There is a bit more to the article than the direct remarks. ~KvnG 16:05, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't say his appearance was trivial, I said the one-line entry in IMDB is trivial. His appearance might be a big part of the documentary. But all of that is WP:PRIMARY, it's him giving his own opinions. It's possible that documentary includes lots of other people talking about Reekes not the Macintosh, but that sounds unlikely and, even if true, would invite closer inspection whether any of it's really WP:INDEPENDENT. Msnicki (talk) 18:09, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, I am considering the documentary, not IMDB, to be the source. I don't understand how a documentary would be considered WP:PRIMARY for the purposes of establishing notability. The filmmakers considered Reekes notable enough to interview for a film about personalities at Apple. I consider that WP:SIGNIFICANT. ~KvnG 20:44, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the difference.
From WP:PRIMARY, "Primary sources are original materials that are close to an event, and are often accounts written by people who are directly involved. They offer an insider's view of an event, a period of history, a work of art, a political decision, and so on."
And from WP:SECONDARY, "A secondary source provides an author's own thinking based on primary sources, generally at least one step removed from an event. It contains an author's interpretation, analysis, or evaluation of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources. Secondary sources are not necessarily independent or third-party sources. They rely on primary sources for their material, making analytic or evaluative claims about them."
I hope that's helpful. Msnicki (talk) 21:00, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The film is made by a couple independent filmmakers. There's no indication that it is produced by or commissioned by Apple or Jim Reekes. It does quote information from primary sources as any good secondary source does but those excerpts are edited and put into context by the filmmakers. As is clear from the WP policy you've quoted, this is what secondary sources do. I've discovered that the film is available on YouTube (you'll have to search for Welcome to MacIntosh yourself as WP won't allow me to put YouTube links on this page. Definitely looks like a secondary source to me. Let me know if you don't agree. ~KvnG 23:07, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, I do not agree. This is an insider's account of his own involvement in the story. That's about as WP:PRIMARY as it gets. See above. To argue otherwise, you need to provide evidence that some substantial part of the documentary is really about Reekes himself, not merely adding his first hand account to the Macintosh story. Msnicki (talk) 23:46, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GNG actually does not require secondary sources, only sources independent of the topic. In any case, Reekes has no connection to the documentary, he is independent of its production and marketing. It's like if someone gave a quote to a journalist writing a newspaper article, that quote would be notable. Or if a journalist wrote a magazine article, or book, about Reekes based in part on interviews with Reekes. It's no different with a documentary. The producers and directors have full editorial control and can include/exclude content, make Reekes look any way they want. It's not a work by Reekes, it's a work about Reekes. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 00:02, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's not quite correct. From WP:GNG, ""Sources" should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability." (emphasis added)
And from WP:BASIC, "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." (emphasis added)
The exceptions are the cases identified in WP:ANYBIO, where there's evidence of notability in lieu of sources. This is not one of those cases. But also, there is a difference between including a clip of Reekes telling his story and the documentary offering any secondary opinion of him or what he's said. That's missing.
At this point, I'm going to let it rest. The closing moderator should certainly be capable of resolving questions of what the guidelines ask of us and I'm satisfied I have this right. Msnicki (talk) 00:51, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This needs trimming and sourcing, however as a group this squeaks past the notability bar for inclusion. Individually none (or very very few) of these would have any sort of notability, however the main concerns of the nominator here are issues for cleanup, not deletion, and AfD is not for cleanup. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 13:44, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What is the out-of-universe importance of species of MtG outside of that being a game mechanic (eg cards with abilities to affect cards of specific species)? --MASEM (t) 14:34, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that "discussing them in the relevant text", as suggested by the nominator, would require sufficient coverage in toto to require a WP:SPINOUT...which, well, here we are. It's also WP:CONSENSUS that lists like this are in fact appropriate; see for instance List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters and Ultra Monsters. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 16:06, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to keep, and both examples are ones I would consider for deletion as well. Particularly here, this is bordering on WP:GAMEGUIDE; the reader's understanding of MTG as a whole (the game or universe) is not lost if we remove this species list, since it is otherwise a typical fantasy setting and the species only has a small game mechanic effect. --MASEM (t) 01:07, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's true that it's not a reason to keep, however it does provide an indiciation as to what sort of articles are generally considered acceptable. You know, recently there was a big brouhaha over this at ANI, and the accusation was made that there is a movement on Wikipedia to merge non-notable things like individual species and character articles for fictional properties to lists like this one, under the grounds (as is consensus and accepted practice) that while they're not notable individually, they're pefectly acceptable as part of a list - and then to attempt to delete the list so as to "purge" Wikipedia of the "non-notable fictional property". I scoffed at that there - except, now, I'm seeing it in action, with this and other perfectly reasonable lists being thrown under the AfD bus because some editors don't like it, and the fact that Wikipedia is not paper and shouldn't be treated like it is, and that WP:V is policy while WP:N is just a guideline that (as a guideline) can be expected to have perfectly reasonable exceptions, got forgotten somewhere along the way. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:25, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not even sure where to start in looking for reliable sources. The Bushranger, do you have any ideas? That said, we do have "list of character" articles all the time for large series/franchises. MtG is pretty darn big and this is pretty much as high a level as you could get. weak keep for now. Hobit (talk) 05:02, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this article was incorrectly linked from List of stars in Centaurus, so I fixed it with this edit.

Comment: what was wrong with the link from List of stars in Centaurus, and why isn't there a new link? As for WP:NASTRO and WP:GNG, there are three independent sources in the article. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:54, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of stars in Centaurus used to have a link to y Centauri (magnitude 10 to 8.9), but all the properties in the table row were from HD 120987, a different, brighter, star of magnitude 5.53. I suppose a new entry could be added for this one, assuming it survives deletion. -84user (talk) 23:40, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article was originally about "y Centauri" (HD 120987), until it was rebuilt to be about "Y Centauri" (HD 127233). If this is deleted, it should become a setindex article, like other Latin-letter Bayer designations. -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 09:12, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The title is still a valid redirect for HD 120987 ("y Centauri"), so if "Y Centauri" is not notable, we still have the article "y Centauri" ; and we have the confusing target "γ Centauri". So either this should be a redirect, or it should be a set index, if it isn't about the star. -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 09:19, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Not a redirect, as that would imply to the readers that Y Centauri (this star) is the same star as HD 120987 (y Centauri), which it is not. A set index disambig page would be fine though. StringTheory11 (t • c) 17:19, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - It is perfectly valid, y Centauri works. A set index is preferable, but the redirect is fine, since at the very most {{R from typo}} are common on Wikipedia, and it isn't a typo, since Wikipedia treats all first letters the same regardless of case. We even have a {{lower case}} to indicate iPod -- 76.65.131.217 (talk) 22:16, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I made this a separate article, because the redirect was very confusing and Wikipedia has trouble distinguishing between names that start with lower and upper case, as in this case they are different stars. Apart from being variable, the special feature of this star is the 22 GHz water masar emission. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:29, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep More than simple database entry; perfectly encyclopedic and clear-cut article with information gathered from multiple neutral, reliable sources, meets the spirit of our notability guidelines. --cyclopia^speak! 13:07, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- How on earth is this more than a database article? To me, this appears to be the very definition of repeating a database entry as an article. Every single fact in this article could easily be found on an astronomy database such as SIMBAD with no further research necessary. StringTheory11 (t • c) 20:39, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to List of variable stars. I just spent nearly about 30 minutes examining the given sources, plus another 38 provided by SIMBAD. Many (if not most) of the papers given by SIMBAD were "false readings" of the object in the papers. There's one paper (noted in the article) that provides a water maser detection using IRAS (an old infrared mission). That paper notes that no corroboration of that detection exists, unlike many of the others. In fact, many of the other sources list this object among dozens of others in searches for the water feature, and this was listed multiple times merely in "non-detection". There's nothing encyclopedic to build here as a stand alone article, but the information we have should be retained in the variable star list article. Cheers, AstroCog (talk) 20:10, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that's what I'm finding as well with many of these single-letter variable designations; they are often getting misread from other stars such as the lowercase Bayer designations. I think it is probably worth having a footnote in WP:NASTRO explaining this when looking for sources; namely, that there are very often false positives. StringTheory11 (t • c) 20:44, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes I found that too, and that confusion is why the article is there, as something to attach hat notes to. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:01, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - However, we don't keep articles just due to hatnote purposes. For that purpose, it would be possible to either make this page a Set Index article, or to eliminate this page altogether and make the hatnote at the top read something like: "this article is about the star 'y Centauri' (with a lowercase y)".

Question: What would this article look like if it was a {{Set index article}} and how would it help avoid the confusing conversion of lowercase y to uppercase Y? Would it be the same name with a list of two items, the first being HD 120987, the second being the non-articled star HD 127233? What would the hatnotes for the two other star articles be changed to? I'm trying to get a handle on which would be better: a redirect to HD 120987 (ie y Centauri), a setindex, or just keep it (exceptionally) to minimise confusion. -84user (talk) 08:51, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Wikipedia is not paper was one of the founding concepts of Wikipedia. The mass deletions of astronomy articles is tantamount to a topic genocide. Fotaun (talk) 19:59, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to HD 120987 (y Cen, notable as a visible star), and modify the hatnote there explaining the uppercase/lowercase confusion. Y Cen (the uppercase one) doesn't appear to be notable. With only two articles to choose from, one of which is non-notable, a hatnote seems a better solution than a disambiguation page or set index article. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:34, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I found that the beginning of the article appears here as part of a much longer text, but the last sentence is not there. In the longer text, I think that the text fits much better to the context, so I suspect that our article is a copyright violation of that website. However, the Waybackmachine suggests that we started hosting the text before the other website started hosting this text. Stefan2 (talk) 13:46, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. WP:NPOL is a supplement to the general standard of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," so I looked at the sources and found multiple in-depth articles primarily about Khamis (one heuristic: his name's in all the titles) in the San Jose Mercury News ([20] [21] [22][23] [24][25]) and the Contra Costa Times ([26]), plus plenty of coverage in articles not entirely about him (for example, 49 hits for his name in Mercury-News news articles alone).

Keep San Jose is a city of regional importance, by far the largest city in Northern California, and the tenth largest city in the United States. No one seems to doubt the notability of members of an equivalent body, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors which governs a city that is significantly smaller in population. We have biographies of all current and many past members of that body. Although I would challenge notability of city council members in smaller cities that are not of regional importance, in this case, we have significant coverage of the person in reliable sources, some of them many miles away from San Jose. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 18:07, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. In this case, I agree with your conclusion, but I don't really get the point of debating how much notability different boards and councils confer on their members. Does it really save any time? It didn't take me long to assess the sources and form a direct opinion about this article, and since I listed what I found, others don't have to duplicate the work. And does it make discussions easier? Would we delete someone with significant, independent coverage just because most Peoria City Councillors aren't notable? Would we keep someone without it just because most San Francisco Supervisors are? I wouldn't think so, but otherwise I don't feel there's much point to adding another layer of policy. —Neil 08:48, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Reply I am not proposing any policy language, Neil, but I do believe that assessing the significance of the city in question is one of several tools we can use to determine whether a city council member is notable enough to have a biography here. I thank you for finding solid coverage in reliable sources for this person. And I challenge the assertion by another editor above implying that city council members are somehow generally assumed to be not notable. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 20:24, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were going rogue or anything like that! I was just surprised to see most of the debate here dealing with the importance of San Jose City Council rather than the sources about Khamis, and out of curiosity I singled you out, probably unfairly, to ask about the rationale for it. Thanks for the reply! —Neil 07:46, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I would argue that we shouldn't have articles on every member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors either. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:38, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Although it wasn't clear from the article as nominated, he does appear to be notable. I have expanded the article and added half a dozen references. For a councilmember from a city of this size and significance, there usually turns out to be enough independent coverage to support notability, and that is the case here. --MelanieN (talk) 01:06, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have you found any independent coverage beyond local news coverage? Local news coverage does not strike me as "significant coverage." TJRC (talk) 18:29, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Mercury-News is a regional paper covering a huge swath of California. To dismiss its coverage of a San Jose city councilman as "local" would be like dismissing the New York Times when it reports about a politician from New York. --MelanieN (talk) 22:58, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge to San Jose City Council. The only grain of notability is his position as a San Jose city council member. That position is not inherently notable. Being the first Arab-American in a non-notable position does not make him any more notable; nor does being the CEO/founder of a non-notable corporation. I suspect that most SJ council members do not meet notability standards, either, with a possible exception being Madison Nguyen, due to her recall election. The arguments for Keep boil down to one of two arguments.

First: that San Jose City Council is notable (based on the size and economic prominence of San Jose), and that therefore individual council members are also notable. I don't buy that. I agree that the council itself is notable, but I disagree that members inherently inherit that notability; WP:NOTINHERITED. (I would also argue the same for individual members of equivalent positions on equivalent local government bodies, including San Francisco Board of Supervisors, so that does not persuade me.) If Khamis loses his next election, I don't think anyone would consider him notable; for perspective, consider Larry Pegram who was a San Jose council member in the 1980s. I don't think anyone could muster a serious claim for his present notability; and if notability is not temporary, then he's at least as notable as Khamis is now.

Second: that he's had a lot of news coverage in the local news papers San Jose Mercury News and Contra Costa Times (which is another local paper, that is co-owned with and shares stories with SJMN; the CCT article cited above is actually just one more SJMN article: [27]); however every member—heck, every candidate—for a local city council gets news coverage in the local papers. That does not make them notable; WP:NOTNEWS. There appears to be no coverage of Khamis outside of the local news.

I would limit coverage of these council members to a one- or two-sentence description of each current member in the article on the council itself; and individual articles only where there is independent indicia of notability apart from mere membership in the council. TJRC (talk) 18:16, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that I haven't seen any coverage of Khamis outside of San Jose–specific publications (by the way, the Mercury News has a circulation above 500,000—that seems more "regional" than "local" to me). But you seem to believe that Wikipedia shouldn't cover topics notable only to people from San Jose. I disagree; if the topic meets the general notability guideline (which says nothing about "local sources"), I'm all for it. I suspect we have a fundamental difference of opinion there.

Also, since you brought up that notability is not temporary, that guideline actually says "once a topic has been the subject of "significant coverage"...it does not need to have ongoing coverage." To me, that means we should include Larry Pegram, not exclude Johnny Khamis. —Neil 00:54, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Neil P. Quinn here. The Mercury News transcends "local coverage", and San Jose is the largest city in Northern California, and therefore it is highly likely that its council members are notable. The sources cited prove the notability. The notion of "independent indicia" outside the political career is without merit in my view. That's like saying we shouldn't have a biography of a movie star or a baseball player without "independent indicia" of notability apart from coverage about merely acting in movies or merely playing ball games. People are notable for their accomplishments. How could it be otherwise? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:33, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and take a close look at similar/related pages such as Net-connected media player, Digital media receiver, List of streaming media systems, Comparison of streaming media systems, Web television, Web-to-TV and Webcast. Perhaps we can merge them into two or three comprehensive articles. As for the term "hard disk media player", the Netgear NTV550 "Ultimate HD Media Player" is a commonly used streamere, and it doesn't have a hard disk -- the HD stands for high definition. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:47, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – HD could stand for hemodialysis, high density, … and above all Harley-Davidson!!! Seriously, it also refers to high-definition and hard drive/hard disk.
A HD Media Player (HDMP), with "HD" referring to "hard drive", is a mini/micro-computer that stores digital media files and/or streams to a hard drive (or other non-volatile data storage devices) and, through an audio/video output, it can also play these media files to a TV/monitor/projection screen and etcetera. Some of them have a display monitor and loudspeaker[s] to extend their playback capabilities (and making them "portable"). It is an extended (in media types and formats) VCR/VTR, and, more recently, DVD recorder/DVR. Note that the presence of a hard drive makes it necessarily a recorder.
It could also refer to a player capable of playing High-definition video with 720 scan lines or more, but it is better to refer to them as "HD-Media" (with "high-definition-media" that being one word).
In both cases it is not a DMR, which is more a hub with multiple input/output (I/O) ports, and is comparable, on its input side, to our old, but always beautiful, analog radio receivers, and to UHF and VHF "aerial" TV and cable/satellite receivers. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 10:58, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This area of coverage needs improved organization. Deleting stray bits and pieces is not going to help. Editors need time to sort this out. Consider a merge to Media server. ~KvnG 17:32, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete for the following reasons:
1. No source – Not even one source is present in the article
2. Lack of notability – Does not conform to WP:GNG
3. Neologism – Articles on neologism are not allowed. I have never seen the word "HD media player" used for anything. "HD", when comes with "media player", always means high-definition. So, if I describe User:Pjoef's statement above as "BS", are you willing to assume good faith and think that perhaps I meant "beyond smart" or "beautiful statement"? I am not going to bet my life on it.
4. Fake info – I tested some of the items listed in the article, such as "GoFlex TV (STAJ100)", "Seagate Freeagent" and several "Eminent". They were HD, alright, but the company website made it clear that they are HD as in "high definition" not as in "having hard disk".
5. Spacer filler by nature – If you disregard the title and lead, what do you get? Some content that, if had source, was a candidate for any modern media player article, be it hardware or software. For example, read HD media player § Market niche. You can imagine it is put in Windows Media Player article. Or read HD media player § Formats, resolutions and file systems. Could be part of any notable set-top box article.

Though the PROD was removed from this article after references were added, I continue to agree with the {{notability}} tag from February 2011.

Delete. Other than what's in the article, there's some local news coverage of his role in A Chorus Line ([29]), another piece about Barbara Bush's 'treat' ([30]) and that seems to be about it. It doesn't add up to encyclopedic relevance. --Michig (talk) 08:14, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now - In a way, the article looks more like a résumé than an encyclopedia article. As an actor, he hasn't had much (minor TV work) and seems to be best known for A Chorus Line. A Google News search for "Justin Clynes Photography" provided some links but it doesn't seem his photography company is notable yet. A search for "Justin Clynes model" provided some of the same links and some different ones but nothing substantial.

Keep This source[31] seems to assert notability ("pioneering work in drama, science and publishing") and is excellent GNG material. The "absorbed text" may be an old plagiarism you have discovered - who plagiarized who remains unknown - the problem is we don't know where the original source Wikipedia text originated but clearly it's a 19th century text. There's also considerable number of sources in Serbian (?) using a generic Google search but have not tried to decipher. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:56, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I felt fairly confident that the subject was notable, only that I couldn't make head or tail of the article based on what was there. I've opened an invitation to WikiProject Serbia to solicit help from that community. I'm sure this'll all get worked out fairly quickly, and I'd be happy to vote keep once a few of the glaring bumps are smoothed out.

Keep-- I feel deletion is a bit harsh for this topic. I cannot access the pdf sources as an off campus login pops up and one of the text books. The other text book does talk about gender bias in the diagnosis of personality disorders. I believe there are sources which relate to this topic, even if they do not use this exact phrase. This is a list of PubMed results with "gender bias diagnosis" in the title, and many appear to be related to this topic: [32] I therefore feel it is worthwhile to preserve this and hopefully in time interested parties will improve it and add WP:MEDRS sources.

Strong keep -- The problem with the article is that it is a stub, passing over 50 years of his life in silence. As indicated there are a lot of G-scholar hits, the top one cited 158 times, and several well over 60 times. This suggests that he was an important academic. I found an obituary, which added little. My guess is that he was born about 1925, and was active as an academic and ophthalmologist from about 1947 to 1995. The book, published four years ago is thus the culmination of a life's work. Publishing such a book in his mid-80s is again unusual. Peterkingiron (talk) 10:30, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, that he published numerous articles does not make him notable ... notability not met. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:36, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete I really wanted to keep this article - he was head of research for the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins for three decades. And his article citations are pretty decent. But here's what convinced me that he was NOT a notable academic: normally the passing of an important academic would get at least a little notice, by newspapers or professional journals or at least his academic home, but Dr. Langham's passing attracted no notice. The obit found by Peterkingiron is a paid obituary listing; apparently not even his hometown paper chose to write an obit about him. Even more striking, the Wilmer Institute itself did not issue any in-memoriam or press release about his death.[33] Furthermore, almost none of the information in the article is verified; all we have is a short, paid (so not independent) funeral announcement. Basically everything in the article is OR. --MelanieN (talk) 19:57, 6 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
