School of Community and Health Sciences[edit]

I do not believe this meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. LT90001 (talk) 11:38, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to City University London. If not, rename, as this is far too generic a name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:00, 11 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- On reconsidering, rename back to St Bartholomew School of Nursing and Midwifery, under which name it is best known and which is far more distinctive. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:29, 8 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(if kept) Rename to School of Community and Health Sciences, City University, but should we be having articles on individual university departments in every university? I know er have some, but should it be universal? Peterkingiron (talk) 13:53, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would support a rename and merge. LT910001 (talk) 23:50, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to City University London, or source independant articles that substantiate the school.Deathlibrarian (talk) 06:41, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Normally I'd follow Wikipedia:College_and_university_article_guidelines#Faculties_and_academic_colleges and recommend a redirect to the parent institution, but in this case the rather bland name covers and is also a redirect for the former schools of nursing at St Bartholomews and Royal London Hospital, which have a long history. I have added a couple of references, though nothing yet that makes a cast-iron case for distinct retention. AllyD (talk) 08:34, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep/possible rename I have added a couple of book references that indicate the St Bartholomews school as a pioneer in institutional nursing training in the 1860-70s. As such I am inclining to a keep though possibly not under the current generic title. Would it be better to hold the substantive article as "St Bartholomew School of Nursing & Midwifery" (where there is currently a redirect) and just note the forward merging and departmental naming? Alternatively/in addition maybe just copy the early institutional history into Nursing#Nursing_schools. AllyD (talk) 08:56, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep , and rename , probably as AllyD suggests-- I agree about the historical importance of the school. This is not an individual university department, but a school within a university offering various degrees. The organization and history of this and other London medical institutions is complex enough that it is best to cover each part separately. DGG ( talk ) 03:16, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust[edit]

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

Unreferenced, very little content and context and does not establish notability. Sports guy 17 23:37, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

South Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust is a major NHS institution. It features in various parts of Wikipedia's rather chaotic portrayal of the NHS. This article needs expansion, its true. But it is only one of about 150 featured on the list of NHS trusts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rathfelder (talk • contribs) 23:43, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep without prejudice. The article was barely five minutes old when it was nominated, and a cursory search of the internet shows there's material out there. I'd rather see the article get some time for improvement (rather than improvement by AfD). That said, if it sat at a stub like that for any more than a week, it should go to AfD. Likewise, if this AfD ends in keep and the article goes more than a month without being able to get it into good shape, then I would support a second AfD. —C.Fred (talk) 00:31, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. NHS Healthcare trusts are large regional organisations that are almost by definition notable. If there is truly nothing remarkable to be said, such an article should be merged to the nearest most appropriate (e.g. "NHS mental health trusts in the East of England") but actual deletion seems excessive. JFW | T@lk 20:33, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Author has created a myriad of stubs related to this all of which (iirc) lack references and are uncategorized. It's putting me on tilt a bit having to go through and tag all these, especially considering the author's intent (seems to me at least) is just to rely on other editors to do their work. Requesting an appropriate template for a warning or block be placed on this user. Sulfurboy (talk) 23:17, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: yes, this editor has gone about his project the wrong way, creating a raft of fairly dreadful stubs, but the NHS trusts are notable, and there's scope for articles explaining, at the least, the family tree relationships between the many mergers of trusts since they were created, the acquisition of Foundation status, the hospitals and other services provided, and lots of redirects from the previous names and the hospitals themselves (if not covered in individual articles or sections of town articles etc). I've just spent two hours cleaning up a batch of these stubs, but more work needs to be done including invention of a decent infobox template instead of the strange mess they've copied from some other article where they found it. PamD 10:47 am, Today (UTC+0)

Comment Thanks, Pam. You did a lot to improve these and generally help my sanity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sulfurboy (talk • contribs)

Keep -- It is a poor stub. However NHS Trusts are certainly notable. It may be that the premature AFD tag actually prevented this being turned into a decent article. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:22, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but educate the creating editor of this and so many other NHS Trust stubs that this is not the best way to work. Unreferenced stubs shot out with machine gun regularity are the bane of so many areas of Wikipedia. An NHS Trust is inherently notable. Many of them also have substantial media coverage,m often highly negative. None of that is included, and it ought to be, and as WP:RS references. Fiddle Faddle 10:18, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - WP:NOTCLEANUP. I think everyone else has expanded on this point above. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:27, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree that healthcare services in England should be covered in Wikipedia and doing so is clearly in accordance with policy eg WP:NOT. Having it at trust level for the NHS seems the most practical - coverage by region or other geographical split runs into all sorts of difficulty and England (pop 53 million) is too big for anything other than a broad overview. Individual facilities may be very small. The NHS poses especial challenges because of incessant reorganisation, but there are problems with coverage of public bodies as a whole regarding which Wikipedia guidelines are very unhelpful. British media rarely cover the subjects in the way that Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) envisages, and we have even had editors argue that any source produced within the public sector or written by somebody employed in the public sector who is writing in connection with their employment does not count as independent and cannot be taken into account for notability purposes. Including only reports of complaints, criticisms and human interest stories does not provide the basis for encyclopaedic coverage. But then even very large multi-national corporations with turnover in the billions often fail the tests if based in Europe, and are kept because common sense prevails. --AJHingston (talk) 11:41, 1 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Linden Chuang[edit]

Does not meet WP:BIO; we do not just create articles about everyone who works on every TV Show (InFocus doesn't even have an article). Of the six sources, he is mentioned in the first, but is not discussed in depth, they just mention his name. The second doesn't mention him at all. The third, an IMDB profile, is quite brief indeed. The fourth is just a Vimeo Channel, the fifth mentions him as the winner of a prize from an organization (Adventist Media Network) which does not have a Wikipedia article. Additionally, the creator of this article seems to have a connection with its subject, given sentences like " He has kept a number of reptiles as pets over the years." and "In his spare time, he enjoys playing basketball and watching Formula 1."

Delete per nom. Per WP:GNG. The awards are not significant enough for WP:ANYBIO, since they have connection to Seventh-day Adventist they are not independent markers of notability. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:22, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/offer for userfication - I'm willing to adopt this article for userfication on the off chance that he might get some press coverage in the next few months as the political campaign season starts heating up for congressional races. I have found precisely one reliable source about this candidate. Based upon the biography, it seems like there might be some additional sources to build this article, but typically members of boards of directors or trustees don't get into the limelight and usually only get mentioned in passing as a part of a list of other board members. Some potential reliable sources may also not be on-line. --Robert Horning (talk) 02:34, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

October 2013 United Kingdom storm[edit]

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

WP:NOTNEWS - this article should only be recreated after the event takes place if it meets the criteria at WP:EVENTCRIT. The storm hasn't happened yet (WP:CRYSTALBALL) and the only effects of it so far are a few cancellations of transportation services - hardly particularly notable. Oddbodz (talk) 20:26, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

SNOWBALL Keep - This is not a WP:CRYSTAL event. Effects are already being felt, and we've already had a possible death. The storm will happen in the next eight hours. The AfD should run for a week, failing a speedy close. This AfD is premature and a waste of everyone's time. Mjroots (talk) 20:30, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Personally, I think this is too soon, and I dislike how editors compete to be the first to create articles based on every semi-notable news event. However, WP:CRYSTAL makes an exception for events based on scientific predictions, and this fulfills that criterion. It also has adequate sourcing to establish notability. Policy seems to indicate that it should be kept. If it blows over and turns into a non-event, I'll change my vote to delete. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 21:28, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Shrevin[edit]

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

Nominating for deletion per WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTDICT. Note that most of this article is a cut-and-paste of Sri with the only novel addition being:

SHREVIN is a name of sanskrit origin meaning DIVINE. It is given to male boy. It is pronounced as Sh as in Shiva, re as in real and vin as in win.

Ordinarily this is an obvious case that can be dealt with by undoing the cut-and-paste and redirecting the page to Sri, but such actions have been undone and the latter page itself has even been moved to Wikipedia:Shrevin (sic). So it would be good to have the consensus established at AFD once and for all. Abecedare (talk) 18:54, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This edit as well as this one appear to have copied content from Sri without so much as an edit summary, which is a problem for Wikipedia:Copyrights (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia). As Abecedare notes, the only other content is a single sentence, the content of which appears to be disputed. (The dispute, in a nutshell, seems to be whether 'Shrevin' is a variant of 'Sri' or a variant of Shervin.) Ordinarily I might suggest merging the salvageable content to Sri, but given the controversy and the total lack of sourcing, I don't think there is any salvageable content.

SynapseIndia[edit]

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

Article about an Indian IT outsourcing company that seems fairly well referenced at first glance but is sourced entirely to news releases, references about trademarks and details of the company's activities, including its location in Google maps and addresses. The only tenuous claim to real secondary coverage is this article, which isn't even exclusively about the company. Being one of "1218 companies worldwide" is likewise tenuous at best, and the claims about being member of communities or programs such as Drupal or Microsoft certification programs are not indicative of notability. Google returns mostly self-generated content, blogs and other non-reliable sources. Subject fails WP:CORPDEPTH. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 18:16, 20 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep:

Multiple independent sources has been cited to establish notability, and they are not trivial.
The reference to the trademark of the company is very much authoritative, is legal and has been provided by U.S. government.
The local address of the company has been supported by its listing in Google map, which also indicates the correctness of the address and company's existence, as Google maps do not show places which does not have verified addresses.
Reference to Microsoft certification validates the points mentioned about the company.
The page is very much as per the guidelines mentioned by wikipedia on Help:New.
Also this page is neither promotional nor does it matches with any reason listed on wikipedia's Articles for deletion page.
If there is any specific issue with the page that shall be edited, but a list of recognition supported by external references does not seems to be an issue.

the "references from prominent newspapers that have been added" include a trivial passing mention that the owner is in his third office, but actually nothing about the company and certainly nothing significant.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 10:27, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article can be made more straight forward by removing texts like - "one of the few", and there is too much usage of the company name in the recognitions' list. Also, the recognitions are not all recognitions, it also mention partnerships hence the heading can be modified. The page otherwise doesn't seems to be promotional or an advertisement. With the kind of references they have provided, it certainly does not seems to be run of mill either. The business as I have researched about it, before participating in Afd, seems notable., referring to WP:BEFORE, WP:NNC and WP:SIGCOV. It doesn't seems to violate what Wikipedia is not and also as per WP:B2B, it should be given a benefit of doubt.Srirudra (talk) 09:45, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's interesting you reference B2B, which despite being an essay, contains the following: An article about a business can be saved from non-neutral language by being rich in verifiable facts about the business itself. An article that is poor in facts can't be helped at all, and ought to be deleted.. There is nothing verifiably notable about the subject, and if you researched it surely you were able to come up with some significant coverage that could establish notability. So far though, despite the many assertions that the subject is "OK", nothing has been added to the article that could possibly save it from being deleted.

Ok, but based on which policy/guideline? With respect, your argument still reads like WP:ITSNOTABLE.

Are you able to provide any independent and significant coverage about this party, the story, the leaders, the youth section (if existing), what they did in these years, what they are doing now, what they will do? What about WP:NOTDIRECTORY? How we can write an independent article about a political entity in the blatant absence of independent and significant secondary sources? Maybe I am missing something, but if you are right it would mean that we have no notability bar for political parties and that barely existing is sufficient for having an article on an encyclopedia. Cavarrone 22:32, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, quick google search turns up several mentions of the party, and 0.61% in a national capital is by no means that bad for a new party. I think, comparing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egyptian Nazi Party, the qualitative difference lies in between A): a serious party, presenting numerous candidates, holds press conferences, has an office, conducts a regular election campaign, but isn't very successful (keep) and B): Two guys and a Facebook account. (delete). --Soman (talk) 09:43, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Outside of other stuff, do you have a single significant, independent and reliable secondary source which relies to the activity of this party, which covers a press conference of one of their leaders, or which expresses the concept that this is "a serious party"? Getting 2000 votes in a city of over 2,7 millions people (0.16%, not 0,61%) isn't by no means an impressive result, especially in a municipal election which had the partecipation of about 50 other obscure, "one-shot" local parties (all af them "presenting numerous candidates", "having an office" and "conducting a regular election campaign"). Cavarrone 04:33, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think this image illustrates well that it is a party that had a seemingly well-financed election campaign, https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=634561219904788&set=a.169658599728388.45078.169643403063241&type=1&relevant_count=1 . That won't do as a source in article mainspace, but it does give a hint on the character of the party. Combined with having run a full slate in the election, I'd say that provides for the argument that this is a serious party (as opposed to a frivolous basement project).

Completing nomination for User:69.122.92.152, whose rationale was: "Articie is about a tiny, minor street in Brooklyn that fails WP:NTSR and Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Streets#Guidelines. Parkside Avenue has no unique features, did not become synonymous with a major industry or organization, nothing notable ever happened there, and was never mentioned significantly in any books, films, shows, etc. Having one measly local subway station named after it (which was actually named for another street when it opened) certainly does not make it notable since we don't have articles on every single street that has a station serving or named after it and they're meant to serve the surrounding area, not just the one street they're named after."

Keep - A street that it was decided to build a subway station on, the Parkside Avenue (BMT Brighton Line), is certainly notable. Subway stations are not built on insignificant streets. And this street, the entire southern border of Prospect Park (Brooklyn), is not "tiny" as the anon claims.--Oakshade (talk) 04:57, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Oakshade. It needed cleaning up, which I did, per WP:HEY, but that is never a reason to delete. This is a perfectly notable street; note the landmarks and transportation hubs on virtually every corner. It may not be famous outside of NYC, but it's notable. Bearian (talk) 16:15, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Your edits do not prove any notability. Almost every street in New York has a point of interest like a school or hospital and at least one bus stop at one of its intersections. Being the border of a notable park also does not merit notability, especially since the southern border of Prospect Park is only a 1/2 mile long.
Delete. I'm not convinced that notability is inherited from the subway station. Yes, not every street gets one, but getting one doesn't necessarily make a street notable. I don't see what makes this street otherwise notable; can sources be found and provided that prove notability beyond "WP:ITSNOTABLE because..."? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:07, 29 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant coverage, evidence of meeting WP:GNG, no notable residents, or mentioning in any mainstream media, for this 1.5 mile-long street. This is just another case where people think a street is automatically notable because it has a subway station named after it (as a matter of fact, the station was not even called Parkside Avenue when it opened in 1907). They do not always serve notable, well-known streets. If that were the case, we would have 400+ more street articles saying something like "179th Street is a two-block long street in Jamaica, Queens served by the F train" or "Saratoga Avenue is a one-way street in Brownsville, Brooklyn served by the 3 train." Stations are meant to serve their surrounding area, not just the one street they are named after (not everyone who uses the Parkside Avenue station actually live or work on Parkside Avenue). This is proven by the fact that many stations, including Parkside Avenue, have entrances/exits to more than one street, a few are named after the neighborhood they serve, not the streets they are accessible to, and some do not actually have an entrance/exit to the streets they are named after. We had a similar AfD for 20th Avenue, another non-notable street in Brooklyn that has two subway stations serving it, in January. It was redirected to Brooklyn streets#Numbered Avenues, which has an entry for it in its chart. In this case, however, I can't find any other article that mentions Parkside Avenue except the subway station, which would not be appropriate at this time due to a naming conflict on Talk:Parkside Avenue (BMT Brighton Line). The Legendary Ranger (talk) 17:50, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As mentioned, there is sufficient encyclopedic material for any street in a large city-or at least any street that has any special feature, such as the location of a subway station. I know we have often not accepted these, but it's a mistake; just as we accept even the smallest village, we should accept these also. Park Avenue is not merely a notable street, but a famous street, which is fart above the notability standard. WP is not limited to the famous, or it would be a very small encyclopedia. The other streets mentioned here would also make adequate articles--I think it likely that there are a good many literary references to Saratoga Avenue in Brownsville..

I've not argued that a subway station makes a street an automatically notable one; in fact, I believe otherwise. Rather, I argue it's notable because (a) it has several landmarks such as medical offices, schools, etc., (b) it bisects a world-famous park, and (c) it's a transportation hub, as shown on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority map. These are the sorts of properties that would make a street notable.

List of books related to Buddhism[edit]

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

List of books that is not maintainable in a manner that would meet NPOV because of the potential for a vast number of possible entries depending upon the inclusion criteria, with no way to restrict the list in a neutral manner. Ronz (talk) 19:06, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Difficulty in maintaining an article is by itself not a good reason for deleting an article, per WP:SUSCEPTIBLE. On the more positive side, it is possible to maintain list-based articles through standards like MOS:LIST, which encourages list entries to be WP article themselves, i.e., have notability. Indeed, the nom recently cut this article down to a modest size by retaining only the books which had articles on WP. One could flesh out the article by including books mentioned in Category:Buddhism studies books or Category:Buddhist texts. There exist articles such as List of environmental books based on this criterion which seem maintainable. With no policy based reason to delete and a proposed way forward, I see no reason to delete. --Mark viking (talk) 00:23, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Note I said specifically it could not be maintained in a manner where it would meet NPOV. While yes, being unmaintainable is a problem, it only calls for deletion when it fails major content-related policies such as OR, NPOV, or NOT. --Ronz (talk) 00:45, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. Since notability is a criterion uncorrelated with particular POVs regarding Buddhism, I assert that requiring notable entries would help maintain a neutral point of view. --Mark viking (talk) 03:45, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone wants to propose viable and neutral inclusion criteria, fill an article from that inclusion criteria, and get agreement that the resultant article meets NPOV, then they should do so. I expect a title change would help as well. In other words, start a brand new article from scratch. Meanwhile this one should be deleted.

Let's be aware articles such as these suffer unbalance due to WP:RECENTISM and WP:PROMOTION. The article was not maintained for these problems to date. Nor is this problem addressed by simply making the list only contain notable entries. --Ronz (talk) 16:08, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "List of books related Buddhism" is a vast topic. To give an idea, LibraryThing which is a site where members list what books they own and has 1.7 million members, there are over 1000 books tagged Buddhism, about 1000 Zen Bhuddhism, 736 Mahayana Bhuddhism and so on (there are dozens of sub-categories of Buddhism]. The list topic is way too WP:INDISCRIMINATE. As Ronz points out these open ended indiscriminate lists are honey traps for publishers and authors who are promoting books through social media, and serve little practical purpose for end users, since there is no distinct criteria for list inclusion other than "a random list of books some anonymous Wikipedia editors think are great". I agree other indiscriminate lists like this exist but they are equally problematic. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 18:12, 10 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I don't know what's going on with the recent editing which means the list currently has 2 entries, which would be grounds for deletion if that was the stable version (lists must be above a certain minimum length), but it's currently a poor duplicate of Buddhism#Bibliography, which is grounds for deletion. You could redirect there, but "List of books related to Buddhism" seems a slightly non-standard article title. There's an argument for breaking that bibliography out into a separate article, but no reason to have a bibliography in 2 separate places. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:00, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

However I entirely disagree with the reasons the other editors give for deletion. WP:SUSCEPTIBLE is clear that being susceptible to damage is not reason for deletion. POV issues can normally be fixed through editing (hence they are not grounds for deletion), and many articles on controversial topics are correctly maintained. As yet nobody has provided evidence that any version was biased, so deleting for POV violation is hardly justified. Providing bibliographies on topics is a normal part of the function of an encyclopedia. Providing a list of notable books is also totally valid, providing the list has more than a couple of entries. Writing an encyclopedia involves choosing what information to present and what to omit, and working on bibliographies simply requires the same procedures that go into editing any other article. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:16, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you're right there a lot of lists of books similar to this one. Concur with a CFORK rationale for deletion. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:24, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - There are big bibliographies on WP about other topics, so the vastness of the literature isn't necessarily a killer. I suggest that there needs to be some sort of focusing, a selected bibliography about a certain topic or set of topics within Buddhism. This implies an editing matter, not a notability matter. As it stands, this promises to be an unmanageably large list, i.e. "indiscriminate." Carrite (talk) 03:28, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What about Maximum Rock Magazine ^[2] one of the oldest publications in Romania in rock?

What about Metal Hangar 18? ^[3] There is a festival lineup there confirming band's presence.

Also, I wouldn't consider no3.ro, iConcert.ro or metalfan.ro "fan pages", those are very well known websites with info/concerts/reviews/interviews.

- Regardless of the credentials of "Sick Drummer", may I point out that their text is an exact copy of Code Red's MySpace profile? Hardly an independent source there.
- As for "Maximum Rock" and "Metal Hangar", claims that they may be reliable sources are unsubstantiated, and in any case, their coverage of Code Red is basically trivial.
- no3.ro is a blog - as the site operators acknowledge.

A racist message posted on a website shortly after 9-11 is not notable. Also the case in the second paragraph is under a deleted Law in Canada. The Canadian Human Rights Act - Section 13 was removed from the lawbooks by the Canadian Parliament Summer of 2013. The removal of the law cancels any claim of notability [4]. There is no other "notable" action attributed to this group other than making a single post. WikiErrorCorrection (talk) 00:58, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it gets passing mentions in the media when mentioned with other white power groups. LibStar (talk) 01:04, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Not sure on this one yet. AfD #1 contains some of the typically sparse "keep its notable" votes typical of the Wiki-Prehistoric Era of 2007, but the nominator claim OF "The removal of the law cancels any claim of notability" is deflected by notability is not temporary. If it was indeed notable once, and it prompted legislation (since repealed) to be passed, there may be a case to be made for an article on that event and not the website itself. Tarc (talk) 02:00, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:ORG. This organization suffers from the same problem as the completely unrelated organization SafeMinds, which I nominated for deletion a few weeks ago--namely, that while reliable sources mention it, they just mention it, they don't discuss it in depth, as LibStar pointed out. Might also consider salting. Jinkinson talk to me 03:26, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per what Tarc said and per "The Canadian media described the tribunal's decision as a 'landmark ruling' on hate and the Internet." Landmark rulings are the stuff of which encyclopedic notability is made. Edison (talk) 04:27, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: My initial reaction is the same as Tarc's. I certainly presume the nominator is acting in the good faith, but its a single purpose account aimed at removing coverage of this group.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 12:21, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Redirect The org seems to only have the notability of being a defendant in a landmark case, whereas the case itself is quite interesting but doesn't have an article. Perhaps Edison, Tarc, Milowent, and The Bushranger would be willing to accept a merge/redirect to an article about the case itself. Hasteur (talk) 19:13, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If such an article existed, then yes. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:15, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Whether or not the case was interesting, the law has been deleted. The article then becomes prejudicial - like small-time charges where there was no conviction or a conviction that gets overturned. Overall the point is moot. In The Warman v. Lemire case - the Tribunal itself ruled that the entire Act was unconstitutional [5]. That was the last case to ever be prosecuted under Section 13 in the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. Using Wikipedia to further paint Richardson and Kulbashian (unrepresented defendants fighting an uphill battle) in an unconstitutional court/law is a bad faith move. WikiErrorCorrection (talk) 13:47, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    - By this logic, Prohibition in the United States should be deleted. Tarc (talk) 14:32, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      - Prohibition was an era in US history that was full of events. This case was a shortcut to soiling someone's name when there was no REAL legal recourse. There was no criminal case. It was a back door to constitutional protections. Aside from the Kangaroo Court case, there were no other actions carried out by the website or its alleged operators. In fact, there is no REAL information to indicate that Kulbashian or Richardson were ever the actual operators of the site - All evidence was circumstantial and the respondents never took the stand according to the decision WikiErrorCorrection (talk) 15:43, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Delete~~ No information about this event being an actual group. CECT was a website run by 2 people. The decision was not landmark, under an unconstitutional Act where there was no right to a lawyer, no rules of evidence and 0% chance to win a case as a respondent [6]. The only landmark case under Section 13 would be a respondent who actually won. This is the reason the Canadian Parliament voted to kill the law a couple months ago. WikiErrorCorrection (talk) 19:52, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are the nominator, your vote is presumed (I've struck the "delete"). You are writing as if you are someone with knowledge of the subject outside published sources, how are we really to know what the truth is, outside published sources? Many people have been wrongly convicted in history, that doesn't make them non-notable.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 19:39, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged as lacking notability since 2009. Basically no independent sources. Someone not using his real name (talk) 15:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The triblive coverage says "Launched in 2004, Libsyn was one of the first companies to offer cheap, fixed-rate online hosting for podcasts -- audio or video broadcasts that can be downloaded onto an iPod or enjoyed online. Wizzard Software, a tech firm based in Bloomfield, snapped up Libsyn last year for $15 million in stock." The rest/most of that article about Wizzard Software. Even the title of that piece is misrepresented as it's actually "Pitt grads create podcast powerhouse with Wizzard" (emphasis mine--the emphasized part was left of out of Wikipedia.)

Evolve or delete. Did a little research and this is interesting. Evidently there was a company called Wizard Software that was around since 1995, and was publicly traded on AMEX under the symbol WZE. They tried to do speech recognition longer before Siri. After a bunch of re-orgs and renames through the years, I think they are now "FAB Universal Corporation" of all things. Libsyn was one of several minor acquisitions along the way, during the time they created a "Media" brand to do podcasting, along with Switchpod.com and Blastpodcast.com. Perhaps worth a line or two in that article. The surviving company is still traded as NYSE: FU so there should be plenty of sources for all those 18 years. One SEC-published annual report said they had a billion podcast downloads in 2007. Normally a merge into the parent company would be appropriate, but since there is no such article yet, not sure what to do. Either move this to the current name and evolve it to cover the whole history, or just delete this one and hope someone creates the new one. Agree this article is not worth saving. W Nowicki (talk) 17:32, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Follow-up: I started an article on the combined company in my user area. Quite an interesting (and complicated) history. There are a fair number of wikilinks to Libsyn or Liberated Syndication so if you delete, it is easy enough to add redirects. Not much to salvage from the old article.

Redirect to FAB Universal when that article is ready. My thoughts are whilst LibSyn was a real enabler for the early podcast shows back in the day, it was really a behind-the-scenes hosting company that never gained significant coverage in mainstream media. It's a shame to see this article never got past stub status, and it seems unlikely as this service was in its prime 5 years ago. Big props to W Nowicki for working on the FAB Universal article in their userspace - that's really great! --Breno ^talk 12:01, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - There may be material from secondary, third party sources to show notability and to restructure the article around. That said, keeping a plot-dump, and a poorly structured one at that, just to have a place to mention/list the TV and game appearances of the location and/or list out the inhabitants is not a tenable position. The secondary adaptations could be mentioned with in Atlantis in Popular culture. Also, there if this is to be merged elsewhere, it seems valid to go into both Features of the Marvel Universe and Atlantis in Popular culture. - J Greb (talk) 03:16, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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

Keep or Merge to List of Tiny Toon Adventures characters. While the mention in Journal of Popular Film & Television is fairly small, he is the only character specifically mentioned by name from Tiny Toon Adventures. I don't get what "There is no current assertion for future improvement of the article, so extended coverage is unnecessary." is even trying to say. Are you trying to say that since there will be no future episodes that the article can not be expanded? Or are you saying that because nobody has asserted that they might expand the article that the article should be deleted? If it is the latter, then okay, I assert that there will be future improvement in the article. Yes, I'm personally disappointed in seeing this nomination. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 00:08, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Evoor Damodaran Nair[edit]

I PROD'd this but the prod and my removal of peacock and weasel words was reverted by the page creator. I can't find anything on this guy in google - I'm not saying sources don't exist, but if they do they aren't in google. This is poorly sourced as it is. Perhaps someone with more experience in sleuthing out Indian sources can find something, but I can't even establish this man existed under this name using my resources, let alone establish notability. TKK! bark with me if you're my dog! 19:44, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence of notability. The Google Books reference appears false, as a search does not find a reference to Evoor Damodaran Nair in that book - or at least that portion available via Google books.
This article was rejected at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Evoor Damodaran Nair, but exactly the same text was pasted into main-space. I was posting a question about that at Wikipedia:Help_desk#Articles_created_in_main-space_despite_being_rejected_at_Articles_for_creation when Tikuko made this nomination. Arjayay (talk) 20:03, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing false about the book reference (ISBN 9788126009350 published by the eminently reliable Sahitya Akademi - it's not a "Google Books reference", but a reliable book reference found by the Google Books search engine) which says, "... and Evoor Damodaran Nair are some of the prominent Thullal dancers who have worked long to popularise Thullal." Google Books varies in what content it displays according to various factors that seem to include the reader's location, how many people have looked at it recently and a great deal of randomness, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:00, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hence my comments "appears false" and "or at least that portion available via Google books."
However, from your quote, this appears to be one name at the end of a list, a "trivial" reference which does not prove notability. WP:BLPNOTE requires "multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject."

No indication that the goalscoring record (which is unverified in the article) has received any significant non-routine coverage, though if this could be shown it could potentially be grounds for a weak keep.

Delete per WP:NFOOTBALL failure. Number 5 7 19:55, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NFOOTBALL non-failure, having played for Partick Thistle in the Scottish top flight before he left for Ireland. Always assuming it's the same Archie McLeod.
The Daily Express of 31 August 1933 reports Partick Thistle signing centre-forward Archibald McLeod from Parkhead, (can't do a URL, sorry). The Glasgow Herald (2 Sept) mentions Partick having signed a centre-forward called McLeod from Parkhead; and the match report on Monday has the new centre-forward A. McLeod playing. And I can't find any mention of a McLeod at Derry City in the Irish Times before the 1934/35 season, but the name appears regularly as a goalscorer during and after, up to 1938. Obviously this is inconsistent with the WP article's claim that Mr McLeod left for Ireland in 1932. I've asked Cattivi whether he could confirm them as the same person or not.
Given that Mr McLeod left the Scottish League for the Irish League (not the League of Ireland) for the money, it does make one wonder about the relevance of the "fully professional" concept when applied to a different era. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 11:10, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

According to Emms/Wells ISBN 978-1-899468-66-9 Scottish League Players' Records 1890/91 to 1938/39 page 169: Archibald G. McLeod Parkhead Juniors/Glasgow Ashfield 1933/34 Partick Thistle 3-2 1934/39 Derry. Cattivi (talk) 16:50, 17 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Emms/Wells book is the definitive work on appearances in the Scottish League in the relevant period, so if they say the Archibald McLeod who played three times for Partick when they were in the Scottish top division whatever it called itself in 1933/34, is the same one who played for Derry until 1938/39, then I'd definitely keep.

The result was merge to Magic: The Gathering storylines. While Jclemens has a valid point about licensing, this only applies if any redirect from the previously merged articles would be kept. A deletion of this article would result in a deletion of any redirects here, too, so this is not really a concern. In any case, a merge as suggested by The Bushranger circumvents that particular problem. The sources that come up in the link posted by Jclemens go to "Jeuxonline", a wiki-type site and not an RS, and GX-MOD, a discussion board and not an RS either, so independent notability is not established.

Merge up into Magic: The Gathering storylines. This is not Middle Earth which has been the subject of many critical reviews and analysis; this is all based on primary sources.

Swizzz[edit]

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

Three times deleted as Swizzz and six times deleted as SwizZz and salted and now recreated again as Swizzz. A plethora of refs looks good at first sight but an examination of them reveals that many are to the same sites - some sites are possibly not reliable, including YouTube links, and reviews on download sites. In view of the numerous previous deletions, I'm asking the community to decide whether or not this article meets WP:Musicbio. I have no vested interest in the outcome. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:19, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Has recieved significant coverage in reliable sources. Citations that discuss him already in the article include LA Weekly, HipHopDX (5x), XXL Magazine (5x), Complex Magazine, AllMusic, Refined Hype, DJBooth.net, and Respect., among others. Also the YouTube video is on the interviewers official YouTube account, so it may be used, and there are no reviews to download sites as the nominator falsely claims. He meets multiple points of WP:MUSICBIO, including #1 (coverage in reliable sources as already mentioned), #4 (Funk Volume 2012 Tour and the respective documentary made about it [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]) and #5 for releasing two albums on a "important indie label (Funk Volume) with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable." You failed to do WP:BEFORE, and realize that just because new users over created an article a few years ago, does not mean someone that actually knows what they are doing won't come along and make a good one, after his notability has clearly been established.

Delete. Lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Flooding an article with bad sources (shops, blog, download sites) does not make him notable. Sources above claimed to discuss him most merely mention him, none are indepth. He does not pass #4 as Funk Volume making a documentary about Funk Volume is not independent. Does not pass #5 as Funk Volume does not have a roster of many notable artists. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:43, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

However, you are incorrect, the documentary is being made by a third party company. Again, there are no blogs used, and iTunes only is used to support retail releases for the singles/projects. Also wrong about the coverage, the LA Weekly source covers him very significantly, he is mentioned about 6-10 times, with multiple paragraphs discussing him throughout the piece. The majority of the sources also either significantly discuss him or only discuss him. Also how does Funk Volume not have a roster of notable acts? Dizzy Wright, Hopsin, Jarren Benton all are clearly notable, and those are the only other artists on the roster. Might want to pay more attention and actually take five seconds to review it before voting. STATic message me! 04:22, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How important are LA Weekly, XXL (magazine), Complex (magazine), and Funk Volume, all with a plethora of sources. Perhaps they should come under closer scrutiny too, I have looked at some of them. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:47, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you implying that LA Weekly, XXL and Complex are not notable or reliable sources? That is preposterous, they are all major publications. Their articles might not be in the best shape, but most magazines don't have incredible articles. Along with Funk Volume is a very clearly notable independent record label.

Well, that is just a lack of WP:BEFORE again I guess. Even if they were not notable for their own articles, that does not make them significant reliable sources (along with HipHopDX, AllMusic and DJBooth.net), which are all considered significant reliable sources (WP:ALBUM/REVSIT) when it comes to music. So again, the significant coverage in well-known third party reliable sources is there. STATic message me! 16:42, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, lets look at your claims of sources discussing Swizzz. allmusic, [16] [17]. Makes a joke of your claim, doesn't discuss anyone, let alone Swizz. Its just a listing. All it does is verify he was featured on some tracks. Complex, [18], just a reblogging of a blog reposting Funk Volumes video, not reliable and not independent. Doesn't discuss Swizz, just a passing mention, "For "Funk Volume 2012," he brings along Dizzy Wright and SwizZz for a little something to warm up fans before heading in to the new year". DJBooth. Not reliable. Their staff reviews are but not everything on their site is. Just a paragraph announcing a single, not substantial. HipHopDX. [19], coverage of Hopsin, him talking about himself with only a passing mention of Swizzz, my label-mat is going to be on the tour. [20]. A song with no discussing Swizzz. [21], The title gives us a clue. "Hopsin & Dizzy Wright Featured". Passing mention of Swizzz, "SwizZz is also working on his next project", that's it. [22], just a posting of a song. [23], a short review. Going on theres similar. Coverage about others that merely mentions him. Reposts of videos.

One short hiphopdx review is not enough. The next best of a bad bunch is the LA Weekly piece but even that does not have substantial coverage of Swizzz. Half a paragraph on him, a paragraph on a joint mixtape focusing on Hopsin. Mentions are not indepth coverage.

The documentary? "Funk Volume is set to release a documentary entitled Independent Living: The Funk Volume Documentary." [24]. Nope, not independent.

The label? Dizzy Wright, Hopsin, Jarren Benton. That’s three, not many. And founded in 2009, a history of only a few years.

Might want to pay more attention and actually take five seconds to review it before commenting. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:54, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, wrong again. Complex Magazine is not a blog, so what if they post news that begun from the FV website, that not does not mean anything. Most news begins from the artists website, FaceBook or Twitter for any musician. DJBooth.net is considered a reliable source for music articles at WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES, where is the discussion that says other stuff on their site is not? WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES is about sources for anything when it comes to music, not just for reviews, the sites that are not reliable for other information have notes indicating that. Two of the five HipHopDX sources significantly cover him, with a long paragraph written about his single in this source. He is also covered in depth in the LA Weekly piece along with Funk Volume, no matter how you wanna downplay it. Of course they are the one releasing the documentary, just like how any label releases an album, DVD, or a book, but they did not personally shoot it, but obviously they are going to be the ones that release and distribute it. XXL and the other sources that covered it are all not affiliated with Funk Volume in the slightest, so they are all independent third party reliable sources from the subject. Funk Volume is they are a notable independent hip hop label, with notable artists, and is notable in its own right, which is obvious by its article. So yes he does meet criteria #1, 4 and 5 of WP:MUSICBIO as I have pointed out. STATic message me! 01:36, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wether or not you agree with my characterisation of the Complex post, the video is not independent and the post does not have non trivial coverage of Swizzz.

Just because some of a source is good for some things (WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES was created to look at what sources are appropriate to use for album reviews) doesn't mean there is a blanket pass for all things hosted by them. EG. MTV also host mirror copies of wikipedia articles, clearly not a reliable source. Things should be looked at on a case by case basis.

You say Two of the five HipHopDX sources significantly cover him. You've linked to the one I called a short review. What's the second?

It looks like we are not going to agree on which are substantial and on some which are reliable. Maybe we should leave it there. You thing there is enough coverage. I think there is not enough coverage.

They are releasing the documentary so it's not independent. The other sources provide coverage of Hopsin and Wright, only mentioning Swizz in passing.

I don't deny Funk Volume are notable but that’s not what WP:MUSIC asks for. "an independent label with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable"

So he doesn't meet #4 and 5 and we disagree on #1. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:32, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually no, wrong again. WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES and WP:ALBUMS/REVSITE were two different pages, which were then merged into one, but the sources that can ONLY be used for critical reviews are clearly labeled so if you view the page. So you are saying WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS? You don't say. Point is, it is not a short review, and the other is the coverage of the tour/documentary, just because they only mention the most known/mainstream artists of FV in the title means nothing. They do not have the space to list them all in the title. Every single source I mentioned in my opening post is reliable, among others in the article and others available outside of the article, there is really no arguing against that. Again not true, every mention of the tour mentions every Funk Volume artist equally. If Wright and Hopsin were the headlining acts, it would be different, but SwizZz was also an equally headlining act on the tour, which is clear if you actually read the sources, rather than just their titles. If you actually look up the definition of "few" like I did, it means three or less, Funk Volume has been operating for five years, five > three in case you did not know. Along "with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable", see (Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, Kato). So again yes he meets #1, #4, and #5, you just do not understand WP:MUSICBIO, or common spelling for that matter. STATic message me! 05:30, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"every mention of the tour mentions every Funk Volume artist equally". What a complete and utter load of shit. With that bald faced lie I can't see any point in trying to discuss this with you. duffbeerforme (talk) 05:54, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Koala15: Not that much coverage, but he does also meet points 4 and 5 of WP:MUSICBIO, also an update along with all the coverage mentioned above, which again includes LA Weekly (probably the most significant of them all), HipHopDX (5x), XXL Magazine (5x), Complex Magazine, DJBooth, and Respect, he was also significantly profiled in the newly released October/November issue of XXL the majority of the article is not printed here, but it is proof that it exists. The physical version profiles every member of the label. STATic message me! 00:07, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well in each source i have seen he is primarily mentioned as a featured artist in a song or in a article about Hopsin or Funk Volume, but i could be wrong. Koala15 (talk) 00:24, 2 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Koala15: Even if the article is primarily about FV, if you check the LA Weekly article, there are multiple paragraphs that discuss him, he is probably more discussed there then Jarren Benton or Dizzy Wright. Also at least two of the HipHopDX sources are only about him, as is the DJBooth source, which is a reliable source per WP:ALBUMS/SOURCES. Not to mention as I stated in the above discussion he meets #4 and #5 of WP:MUSICBIO. #4 for "received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country." He was a co-headliner on the The Funk Volume 2012 Tour which took place in North America, Australia and Europe and the respective documentary made about it. Coverage: XXL, HipHopDX, XXL, LA Weekly, HipHopSince87, The New Zealand Herald, BallerStatus, and #5 for releasing two albums/mixtapes (Haywire with Hopsin was also released for retail sale) on a "important indie label (Funk Volume) with a roster of performers, many of whom are notable." Also he was discussed quite a bit in a recent HipHopDX x Hopsin interview. Im not saying he completly shatters any doubt of notability, but there is just enough to pass WP:GNG and definitly is enough to pass #4+5 of WP:MUSICBIO, if not also #1, which frankly there is enough coverage in reliable sources to meet #1 of WP:MUSICBIO too.
