Fails WP:GNG. Winning a game show tournament (even if it was the first) is not criteria that meets GNG. Contestants on Jeopardy! are rarely notable, usually only if they have set major records on the show, or they have transcended the show and become national news stories on their own. Frankel has done neither. Subject is included in List of Jeopardy! contestants, but that does not mean this subject individually meets GNG.

Google search of subject does not provide any reliable source that meets GNG, and adding the word "Jeopardy" to search does not provide any other evidence this person meets GNG.

Only references are links to iMDB (see WP:CITINGIMDB) and a Jeopardy fan site. AldezD (talk) 21:19, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No evidence this topic is notable enough for inclusion. The bulk of the content of this article appears to be sourced only to papers by the creator of the article. (The additional references to prior works solely define the background concepts and do not discuss the topic of tensor flight dynamics.)

This is WP:LISTCRUFT. The list is arbitrary and does not meet WP:GNG. I can't find any references that specifically discuss titles related to socialist leaders of personality. The whole thing seems to be a case of original research. Tchaliburton (talk) 19:54, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment At the one day point in any article which is a list of anything at all, it will, indeed, be "arbitrary." I am more concerned about the use of "socialist" in the name as not being necessarily borne out by the entries so far given, GNG does not apply to lists of this type qua lists - the notability should relate to whether titles of leaders can be found to be a distinct topic. IMHO, such a list may well fit into the project. Collect (talk) 21:35, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Whatever the title of the list claims, this page's history suggests that it is meant as an attack on the Norwegian Labour Party. (Kim, Hitler, Mussolini, Brundtland, Gerhardsen: pick the odd ones out...) הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 00:06, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • The "history" is incredibly short, and content issues are always best handled on the article talk page. Perhaps "Unusual titles for supreme leaders of nations or political organizations" might be more apt - but that is not the same as deleting this list at the one day mark. Supreme leader is close - but the key is not just usual names for such persons,but ones of sufficient uniqueness as to be notable otherwise. I retain my opinion that "socialist" is not reasonably included here, but that is not,initself, grounds for deletion. Cheers. Collect (talk) 13:12, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete...or anything, really, just fix it. This whole area of Wikipedia is a shambles, with Honorific and English honorific vying with Title for the same subject matter, and this four-entry list of microscopically focused title and considerably wider COATRACK with only one citation surfing in on some fancy layout.

  • Comment: So far I'm not finding a huge amount, but I am finding a bit that suggests more coverage in that some books about Carter tend to list it as a highlight of her work. I am finding some mild use of it in classrooms, but not enough to really make a big difference in notability. It looks like if there is more coverage, it never got uploaded onto the Internet. Most of what I'm finding mentions it in relation to Carter, so if all else fails I'd suggest redirecting this to her bibliography section. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:01, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. I find Bearcat's arguments to be the most persuasive given the current state of the article. No prejudice to recreation if there are reliable sources asserting a substantive claim of notability are included; if any re-creation fails that standard, it can be deleted per CSD G4.

Biography of a person whose only substantive claim of encyclopedic notability is happening to have Baden-Powell for a surname (see also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francis Robert Baden-Powell), and citing only a genealogy for sourcing.

  • Keep Well, (quoting Mandy Rice-Davies I would say that, wouldn't I. Actually, her surname is irrelevant - it was actually Smith before she married in 1943, after most of the derring-do; she and her husband were POWELLs, and changed their name in 1956 (I believe), and I don't think there is any connection with B-P. However, her name is mentioned in several other Wikipedia articles, e.g. Special Operations Executive and List of female SOE agents, in both of which very few do not have their own article. RobinClay (talk) 22:04, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I agree that her surname is irrelevant. It would not be surprising for a WW2 SOE person who published 3 books about it to satisfy WP:BIO, but how much coverage is there in independent reliable sources, about her specifically or about her books? That is what we need to see, not mentions in other Wikipedia articles. Edison (talk) 22:29, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, if the article had been citing any actual reliable sources to demonstrate her notability as a writer, ....
How about these reviews ? RobinClay (talk) 22:45, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon reviews are not reliable sources. Coverage in real media, and only coverage in real media, counts toward notability at all. We don't keep an article about a writer just because you can point to commercial sources as evidence that their books exist — you have to show media coverage which demonstrates that independent reliable sources paid attention to her writing career. Bearcat (talk) 20:35, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
.... then I'd have left it alone. But if the article as written is sourced only to a genealogy chart, then the family relationship itself is the only claim of notability we can assess on the basis of the sourcing at hand. I'm certainly willing to withdraw this if the sourcing about her writing beefs up a ton, but not as long as it relies exclusively on primary sources like this. Bearcat (talk) 21:04, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I have had a look at the articles on a few other "female S.O.E. agents", and some of their entries are also relatively sparse. By the very nature of their profession, much was (and still is) kept secret. An article on her (I never saw it) was deleted some years ago, so "I'm not the first" to believe she merits one. If that page were still to exist somewhere out there in the ether, perhaps a combination would satisfy you. I expect to uncover more; the search continues. "Author of [at least] three books" is quite something in itself. RobinClay (talk) 22:43, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I note this is a new article from a reasonably experienced editor. Someone else has tagged the article for "major restructuring".

After finding quite a bit of copyvio in this article from [1] I tried to find reliable sources to rewrite it. The only clearly reliable sources I found was a book at [2] which mentions him in connection with the documentary 911:In Plane Site but doesn't tell us very much about him. Seems to fail our notability criteria. Dougweller (talk) 17:44, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The claim of notability as a "radio show host, musician, author, activist and film producer" fails various guidelines set forth due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. I did find trivial mentions in two separate news reports,[3][4] a magazine, [5] and another book.[6] Various other mentions in fringe or non-reliable sources, including Coast to Coast AM.[7] I agree with the nom that there is not enough in reliable sources to form a reliably-sourced biographical article.

Such as WP:RS. I note that Starman005 has added this book[8] as a source. It's published by El Shaddai Publishers/Bed and Breakfast.[9] who writes "shortly to occur Second Coming. You will be convinced to cast off your complacency and your unpreparedness as you read of the coming worldwide disorder." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talkcontribs) 10:36, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have gone though every single reference twice after Starman005 have been working on it. The article seems to be reliant on non-reliable fringe sources, many of them self-published. So that earns the article an additional !vote for delete per WP:BLP. WegianWarrior (talk) 05:41, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'm taking the unusual step of posting someone else's work here in the Deletion Discussion forum for a particular reason. Mainly because another member here has said that it lacks the notability and I think that I may have picked up on something.
    QUOTE WegianWarrior Delete as non-notable - while prolific among the fringe, little to no mention in reliable sources. WP:FRINGEBLP, WP:GNG and WP:RS is relevant here. WegianWarrior (talk) 07:00, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

    Well now, the self published refs mainly refer to the music and film releases which I have looked up and can most likely be referenced elswhere on nortable sites. This appears to be a repetition of what I have had to endure. (Boss Reality (talk) 08:03, 10 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]

Comment I am not sure why Boss Reality feels a need to quote what I said a couple of lines up, nor I am sure what self-published sources has to do with the policies I refereed to... but IF reliable sources exists, why are they not used in the article? Though in all fairness, Starman005 have stripped out a few references I tagged as unreliable and self published - even if the article still falls well short of WP:GNG and WP:BLP WegianWarrior (talk) 19:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

*Keep, notblity is established and I agree with the creator, Also there seem to be NY Times and NBC linkes too. Good enough ! (Boss Reality (talk) 08:05, 10 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]

    • CommentAgain, you have shown no guideline based evidence. You don't even appear to have checked the links. The NY Times link[10] doesn't discuss him at all, has no biography, etc. It couldn't be more trivial and speaks to his lack of notability. The NBC/AP article simply quotes him briefly with no discussion. Dougweller (talk) 08:29, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Simply quotes him? Most people get paraphrased. And NBC doesn't do indepth, you have to go to Washington Post or New York Times or at the very least Time to get a discussion. It is all very well having good taste in newspapers, but leave your aesthetic sensibilities at home when you come to the real world, would you please, D? Thanks. Anarchangel (talk) 20:46, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

* Comment - I refer to what the page looks / looked like at a certain time. So looking at this capture here I made after the last edit done by WegianWarrior at 11:42, 10 August 2014‎. That's what the page looked like after his / her edit. Basically the statement by this person is totaly incorrect. WegianWarrior says he / she has been through all the refs twice.
Quote WegianWarrior: "I have gone though every single reference twice after Starman005 have been working on it. The article seems to be reliant on non-reliable fringe sources, many of them self-published."
This is incorrect and even I can see (with one eye closed) that the main foundation of the article is reliant on credible refs. Sure there are some self publshed refs. The self published refs are to do with some of the recordings released and a film or 2. It's the same as saying a house with concrete foundations has bamboo foundations and is unsteady just because the window covers are made from bamboo. If there is a bit of intentional misleading then that's very naughty of our young friend. If not then very careless and reckless. But besides that I know that this is a repetition of what happened with my articles and I do believe I detect censorship yet again. I'm not losing my mind here as I have asked others to look in and they have seen what I've seen. Now it seems others have to endure this with their articles and have their work deleted. Could this be so that people are now deciding what others should access? I do know from my limited time here that certain articles are much more likely to be deleted go against the official version of things and if the people they're about are hated by certain groups or organisations. This is commonn knowledge.I remember once a case of a boy messing up his brothers bed then calling his mother to say his brother hadn't made his bed. He may now have grown up into a man I once worked with who would sabotage other co workers projects to make them look bad. If Wikipedia is going to be an encylopedia with blanked out pages then we need to have a good long look at things and decide if this should be a place where one group decides what others should see and know. I can tell you right here and now that's not something I'd support. (Boss Reality (talk) 10:14, 11 August 2014 (UTC))

Comment It seems to me like you still don't have a policy-based reason why we should keep this, and are resorting to attacking your fellow editors.. frankly, it makes it hard for me to assume good faith on your part any longer. However, lets have a look at the article as it stands now (per the time I'm typing). There is 22 references listed.
  • One goes to a transcript on "CNN.com" from the Glen Beck Show, which is at best borderline fringe.
  • One is "Escapee From America Magazine", which has all indications of a fringe website, fails WP:RS.
  • Five is "Coast to Coast AM", which is catering to the fringe, fails WP:RS
  • One is to "Freedom's Phoenix", which appears to be a fringe website, fails WP:RS
  • One is to vonKleinst own website, self-published, as such ought to be avoided
  • One is to "lewrockwell.com", which has all the indications of a fringe website, fails WP:RS
  • One is to "Wake Up! the Lord is Returning", a self-published book that appears far fringe, fails WP:RS (I hope the author's bed&breakfast is better than his book though)
  • One is to "911inplanesite.com", a self-published fringe website, fails WP:RS
  • One is to "Why Do Drugs Cost So Much?", another self published fringe book, fails WP:RS
  • One is to "William Lewis Films", and is a dead link... looking at our article on William Lewis (film director) though, it's pretty clear that it's fringe as well.
That is fourteen (14) fringe and/or self-published sources, out of twenty-two. So yes, this article, as it stands, seems to be reliant on non-reliable fringe sources, many of them self-published. So... do you have any policy backed arguments as to why this should stay, or is this a purely emotional reaction from you? WegianWarrior (talk) 11:45, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is actually 16 sources. The AllMusic ref lists three albums the label is CD Baby which is a self publishing vehicle, so no record label has produced/distributed his work. IMDb, AllMovie and the info page hosted at The New York Times website (based on unedited content from Baseline) three very low quality sources. The NBC News source is "Weird NNBC News" news of the weird sections/features are specifically discussed in policy as not reliable sources. The New Scientist article makes passing mention also something discussed in policy as not supporting notability. The other sources are discussed above as non RS Fringe junk. The Coast to Coast ref in addition to being fringe is a bio of a guest on a talk radio show promotional bios are not RS. There is no significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. Total fail of notability in any possible classification/category. - - MrBill3 (talk) 02:54, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Funny he hasn't linked any of the websites that mention his relationships (striking this as it is 'associations', not necessarily relationships) with neo-Nazis and other far-righters. Something that several of these biographies (eg his wife) have in common. Dougweller (talk) 15:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I would just like to point out that Coast to Coast AM is a globally syndicated radio program which has interviewed everyone from Michio Kaku, Kevin Mitnick, Pat Boone, David Talbot etc (they cover a lot of ground); the original host Art Bell was interviewed by Larry King. Maybe the episodes should be cited instead of the Bio (which are usually written by Coast anyway, not the subjects). Lew Rockwell(.com) is not fringe (they run the same content as Common Dreams) - LR is an WP:RS. Claiming that CNN and Glenn Beck are fringe is simply preposterous - by that token Democracy Now would be as well. Mayhaps the above alleged National Socialist connections are not mentioned because we lack an RS? (although, there is also nothing inherently wrong with a far-"right" association; I do not see why it was even mentioned, by an Admin no less) His wife is lacking an article here and is not the subject of this article, so it is of no concern with this discussion. -- dsprc [talk] 04:04, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please read the Verifiability policy and the Reliable sources guideline. Note that being globally syndicated, having an impressive guest list or having a previous host interviewed by a notable late night TV talk show host are not in any way support for Coast to Coast as being a reliable source. Coast to Coast has consistently presented poorly fact checked and fringe material, they have no reputation as a serious journalistic endeavor. They don't meet the standards which are clearly explained in the policy and the guideline, please read and understand them. Glenn Beck has certainly taken a number of fringe positions and his credibility has suffered extensively. His journalistic reputation is not that of a reliable source, his show and the content presented on it have been held at a distance by CNN and clearly the editorial oversight and fact checking have been grossly lacking. Lew Rockwell has consistently advocated fringe views, has an editorial veiwpoint clearly at odds with mainstream academia. Please read the Fringe theories guideline. - - MrBill3 (talk) 10:32, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply & Comment to Dougweller, You say you "have tried to find reliable sources to rewrite it". I say no! You and your crew have already deleted 2 or 3 articles by boss reality and just recenly one Beyond Treason by the person who created the article and put in all the hard work. That film was Grand Festival Award Winner 2005 at the Berkeley Film Festival and you and your crew have destroyed the hard work that others have done because of various reasons. Now Dave vonKleist is next to go. What else have you got on your list? (Starman005 (talk) 05:50, 13 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]
  • Comment & Reply to Dougweller, you said "hasn'e linked any of the websites that mention his relationships with neo-Nazis". This is the firsdt that I have heard of anything to do with Neo Nazis andd I have researched von Kleist. What I see here is a childish attempt to do something untoward. This is now possibly a violation of Wikipedia policy and certainly grounds to alert Mr von Kliest of this so he can seek some legal advice. I'm disgusted that you'd try this on and you are supposed to be an administrator. I'll make sure that Mr von Kleist knows of this just in case he wants to act on it. (Starman005 (talk) 06:11, 13 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]
  • Reported this to WP:ANI under WP:NLT. I did a basic Google search on "Dave vonKleist" and this sort of stuff came up on the first page. I don't know how you search for him without finding it. Most of the stuff about him is indeed not in reliable sources, that is why we have this AfD. I am not calling him a neo-Nazi. 07:28, 13 August 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dougweller (talkcontribs)
As was inevitable and firm policy, another Admin has indefinitely blocked Starman005. Dougweller (talk) 12:31, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Starman005: You shouldn't call the fire dept. when you're pouring fuel onto a fire which you've lit...
@Dougweller: You may wish to investigate a phenomenon known as the Filter Bubble (here is a TED Talk) which is used heavily by Google and shows us all different content (I didn't get any National Socialism stuff either, mostly just forums and self pub on first page). -- dsprc [talk]
@Dsprc:Interesting. Right above "Dave vonKleist - 911 In Plane Site" I get a site dedicated to him, "DAVE VONKLEIST, SPY & NAZI DISINFORMER". I'd think that and simmilar sites would show up on any ordinary search although maybe not page 1 even with the filter bubble effect. I don't often search for neonazi but maybe having found it earlier and looked at it it bounced it up on my next search. Ah, just discovered that if you search on his name without quotation marks that site shows on the 2nd page, if I use "Dave vonKleist" with quotation marks it's on the first page. Dougweller (talk) 14:15, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Notice to the site senior admin and I mean senior! I hve just seen what has happened on the article page and last edits by MrBill3 and previously WegianWarrior. To me it seems that they're doing to this article exactly what happened to mine. They're making it look as shoddy as they can and they're doing it at a feverish pitch. All this unrelaible source for the music links is there to possibly put others off from helping to improve the arrticle. This appears to me to be an organised and coordinated effort involving a core group of about 5 users. Please look into this. Thanks. (Boss Reality (talk) 08:02, 13 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]
@Boss Reality: We have Wikipedia:Noticeboards for this, please address your issues there, if appropriate, as this is not the correct venue for such matters. However, I believe you will find a different outcome from the one you intended pursuing this course of action. @CambridgeBayWeather: surely there must be senior citizens with Adminship amongst our ranks? (I dare not out any however) :) -- dsprc [talk] 13:38, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • User:Dsprc, note I did not say he had National Socialist connections but that he had relationships with neo-Nazis and other far-righters. And writing that now I realise that I was using the wrong word, I meant associations, eg sharing the same platforms - apologies. As for Joyce Riley, she did have an article which was changed to a redirect to a now deleted article. And details about her have been continually inserted into this and other articles. She's also been used as a source. Dougweller (talk) 08:14, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Note that having established an account at CD Baby and self publishing a trio of "albums" and the resulting listing at AllMusic does not create a reliable source. To establish that an individual is a musician of encyclopedic note requires a source that reports, providing significant coverage, on the music industry or the the culture therof (or the academic disciplines, scholarly analysis or at least critical analysis in a reliable source). The WorldCat link is rather telling, a work held in a grand total of two libraries in the world is clearly not a notable or significant work or the level of importance to warrant a mention in an encyclopedia. You can also see that each tag I placed had a WP:RS based rationale. I strongly suggest a reading for comprehension of WP:V, WP:RS and WP:GNG. - - MrBill3 (talk) 10:42, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

::::* Reply to MrBill3, Doesn't matter if the CD's are on CD baby or not. I believe you're attempt at making the point is to support your agenda. Now imagine this, If Harry Wayne Casey of KC & The Sunshine Band hadn't found an overseas distributor for his records then they would have been released on his TK Records label which is the one he formed himself to get them out. They'd be self published then and I know that you wouldn't be tattooing his page with the like you've done here. Friend, sorry I disagree with you all the way on that and that doesn't stack up at all. (Boss Reality (talk) 23:08, 13 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]

  • Delete as per nomination. AlanS (talk) 12:20, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

* Comparisons to make the point- Again I'm taking the unusual step to post here 2 comparisons of edits. One last edit by starman 005 who created thew article and the other by MrBill3 who after WegianWarrior has deliberately made a mess of the article by tagging it in a way that by my observations could only be described as a strategic manoeuvrings to discredit the article to hasten and ensure it's deletion. This tactic has been previously and successfully applied by WegianWarrior and my good friend Dougweller and usual core group that follow him around. Rather than discussing the quality of the links that have also been pointed out by 2 other editors here to be worthy, this tactic is instead employed. And again I emphasize it's done IMO to get rid of the article. The questions pops up like a helium balloon riding a huge sudden gust of wind .... What's the agenda? (Boss Reality (talk) 23:01, 13 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]

@Boss Reality: Please use links and make use of the history page, reposting the entire article is unreadable. The best thing is use a Diff to show the changes from one version to another.
Revision as of 05:12, 10 August 2014 by Starman005
Diff to MrBill3
As to an agenda, everyone has one so cool it. By that I mean there are different philosophies on editorial control. There are deletionist and inclusionist with most editors in between. While I can appreciate you see tactics, it could simply be bold editing to get a never-ending job done. There are over 4.5million articles on the English Wikipedia, having a drawn out debate on each issue isn't in the cards.
Currently I'm neutral to the deletion to give the article time to shore up 3rd party refs, but that's being generous; self published refs are a big red flag @ Wikipedia when it comes to Bios. RoyBoy 00:14, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reply to RoyBoy, I was trying to show where and how the IMO the messing up of an article occurs. BTW: thanks for the info amigo. I wasn't sure how to do it. I think I may be OK for next time. I'll try to sandbox test and see if it works the way I want. Cheers (Boss Reality (talk) 09:45, 14 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]
  • Comment regarding the messing up of the article which IMO would likely discourage others from improving it (if improvement warranted). If you look here you'll see the difference between the 2 vastly examples of the edit. One recent one by starman 005 and a more recent one by MrBill 3. So look here -->> My edit Revision as of 23:01, 13 August 2014 by by Boss Reality. You'll have to scroll right down the page to see the examples and you'll see one example, the top one of the two. Now it's obvious it's up for deletion. Someone may come along and improve the article. Now the one right at the bottom that has IMO been tattooed with so much that most people wouldn't bother with it. So the deletion process in this case has been greatly stacked in favor of one stance while the other stance has been greatly handicapped. (Boss Reality (talk) 09:58, 14 August 2014 (UTC))[reply]


  • Observation, I've just been looking over the board below

    Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard

    Anti-depleted uranium weapons activism - truthers etc.

    Quote: Dougweller Just ran into this. Seems to be just a propaganda piece. Eg "Doug Rokke is a former Army Reserve Major who enlisted in 1967. He considers it his patriotic duty to tell the world aboput the dangers of depleted uranium has posed to the servicemen and the public. He also talks about the military coverup about the thousands of affected veterans". Rokke for instance is some sort of "truther" who participates in neo-Nazi conferences.[3] (Nordwave is an American National Socialist organization created in 2000 by Alex Hassinger.). User:Bachcell/Leuren Moret is another conspiracy theorist - see her website[4] - which I note says she also worked on mind control for HAARP. Joyce Riley is also a believer in a massive coverup.[5][6]. Dougweller (talk) 13:21, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

    Please note other content in between these 2 entries not included.

    Quote DougwellerYes. This article is clearly fringe - it's all about a fringe view about a global conspiracy and pushes fringe people with neo-Nazi connections. Dougweller (talk) 06:38, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Contested PROD. It was unreferenced and now one source is found, so we know this flute exists, it is not an OR. However we don't have multiple independent reliable sources on it; at least I could not find any. Dubious notability. Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 17:32, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea. Let's see what other people will say. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 17:49, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What it is "another name for" is irrelevant here. The article is not about "globular flutes" / "vessel flutes" in general, it is about a particular neolithic object, a globular flute which is, due to its uniqueness, simply known as the "globular flute" - though some other sources name it the "Miramor flute", (see [12]), so that, or "Miramor globular flute", could be an alternative article title. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:14, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. But change the title to Mramor globular flute. This AFD seems laughable to me. In an previous incarnation of it Why should I have a User Name? gave as his reasoning "No sources, no notability. Archeological museums around the world are full of similar findings". I wonder what museums the proposer frequents that are "full of" neolithic musical instruments! Such objects are incredibly rare. Why should I have a User Name? likes tagging things - but he NEVER searches for sources. Tagging is easy, source searching is difficult. I found several sources for this article, and I also found footnote citations mentioning the object's existance in specialist sources as well, indicating its notability and importance amongs specialists of this period. It was also depicted in the cover photo of an exhibition of neolithic instruments, and if you search youtube you can find several examples of musicians playing replicas of it. I dod not add those additional refferences to the article because I felt what is there easily shows notability and importance. This particular object is highly unusual, and probably unique in a European archaeological context. There is nothing else like it that has survived, but its existence gives an important insight into what neolithic culture was like. It was found in Macedonia, and so the primary literature on it going to be in Macedonian, not an easy language for searches. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 22:06, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The illustrations are not "the sole reference" - the illustrations are taken from the cited book in Macedonian, they are not the whole book. As for saying "illustrations of this item among many others", books/articles/papers/etc on archaeological subjects normally contain descriptions of other objects for comparison, so of course there are illustrations of other objects in that pdf excerpt - the fact that there are other objects to compare it to increases the notability and value of the object in the eyes of experts.

If you can't be civil, please leave this discussion. Rather than posting personal insults, why not respond to the points I made? In case you did not notice, the "vessel flute" article is empty of content and is just a link page to other articles - so what is there to merge with? Or do you want to turn the "vessel flute" article into an article whose content is entirely about this object. Have you not noticed that an article about this object already exists, that article being the article this AfD is about! Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:56, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (probably renaming) -- This is a particular artefact. Merging it to what is currently effectively a list article (with little content) and largely concerned with the Far East is wholly inappropriate. The article cites four references - an initial report and discussions of it. This is ample for a short article. Whether it is of Neolithic date may be controversial, due to the lack of an archaeological context, but I do not think that its existence is. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:21, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. WP:SINGLEEVENT was not intended to apply in a situation like this. This is not a case where an individual played a small or peripheral role in a noteworthy event. That's where the guideline is intended to apply. This is a situation where Ms. Bland was herself the subject of note, based on her racist writings. This was not a minor, localized incident. It was a major controversy that drew international condemnation and attention in the world's leading publications. WP:SINGLEEVENT states: "When an individual is significant for his or her role in a single event, it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both" Here, there is no separate article on the "Ellenor Bland racism controversy," nor do I think there should be. The appropriate manner in which to deal with this notable subject is in the article on Bland. Deleting the topic altogether is whitewashing Wikipedia of a significant racist controversy. Cbl62 (talk) 17:00, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, I intend to apply it like this. A minor politician is a racist. Big deal. Lots of closet racists there are. Suddenly it hits headlines. Lots of noise. Because of single accident, dirt digging starts. Still a single, however spread in time, event, with no major consequences for history or politics. Staszek Lem (talk) 17:10, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your intent and desire to apply it in this manner are not what's relevant. The policy is what's relevant. The Ellenor Bland controversy was not, as you put it, not a "big deal." This was a major controversy that is part of an important topic. Deleting it would be a whitewash. Cbl62 (talk) 17:15, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. you say it yourself: "controversy", i.e., single event. And my "not a big deal" is not about her. It is about all these local racists who go unnoticed by major media. This one was out of luck and got herself into a big deal. 17:29, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

  • Delete - the sourcing is indicative: her earlier uneventful and non-notable career is completely un-sourced, the racism allegations are extensively sourced and her suspension from the party directly relates to the racism allegations.

Comment to User:Mercurywoodrose: I see no justification for a speedy delete argument. The article meets none of the criteria for speedy deletion in Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion (shortcut wp:CSD). Having no references in the current article is not a Speedy argument. In fact it, on its own, is not even really a valid criticism of an article--it is fine for Wikipedia to have stub articles on noteworthy topics. I hope you take this as constructive criticism: please take time to familiarize yourself with wp:CSD. --doncram 18:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so why dont you call xenophrenic to task, it was his idea, i was just echoing it. I almost never propose a CSD, and would not have done so here w/o others pointing out no refs for 6 years.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 19:11, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, sorry, i had not noticed xenophrenic's note about A7 criterion (no assertion of notability) possibly applying. I disagree that that criterion applied. Actually the recent article history shows many back-and-forth edits with xenophrenic removing a lot of material, and with editor Northamerica1000 restoring it at least partially. this version of the article showed considerably more content and context; i think notability is fairly clearly suggested in that version. Xenophrenic did in fact try to speedy delete it, but that was declined by Northamerica1000, properly IMO. --doncram 19:48, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
P.S. "Strong Keep", "Strong Delete", "Weak Keep", Weak Delete" are other vote expressions to consider. Those are standard vote types that are counted up in the automated review of editors' AFD participations (where can we see that for u or me, i am not sure, i have seen these linked from RFAs sometimes i think). --doncram 20:31, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just a small clarification regarding what "recent article history shows":
  • with Xenophrenic removing a lot of completely unsourced material, and with editor Northamerica1000 restoring it without supplying a single citation
The fact that the version to which you linked was completely unsourced (and dubious as well, after an in-depth search produced zero sourced corroboration of that content); that has been so since 2008; and has remained so after several removals with requests that sources be provided if reinstated -- shows it is indeed a candidate for speedy deletion, although one unfamiliar with the industry might argue not under (A7). Xenophrenic (talk) 23:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect (changed from Weak Keep, changed from Delete). Not withstanding my disagreement with "Speedy Delete" vote above, the nomination seems sound. Thank you Northamerica1000 for performing wp:BEFORE. Also I searched in newspaper databases behind paywall and found no mentions at all in the Wall Street Journal (searched from about 1985 on) or in the New York Times (historical), and no recent coverage besides a trivial mention, out of a bigger database of national newspapers. So, it does seem not notable to me, unless someone comes up with some material. --doncram 18:38, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
However, I change from "Delete" to "Weak Keep" for now based on seeing earlier version of the article which seems more substantial. Specifically that it was a major chain, a signicant competitor to Chuck E. Cheese's, a surviving chain that ended up acquiring many of Planet Pizza's stores. With that much, though sources are not given, it seems to me that significant coverage at the time must have existed. My own search of national news coverage was not of historical coverage, besides for WSJ and NYT. The bankruptcy filing(s) would provide reliable coverage, for example. Also searching in LATimes history and other western papers would be of help. --doncram 19:48, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do you intend to continue your search for sources, or are you offering suggestions in the hope that others might take up the endeavor? I'll watchlist this page in anticipation of someone having better luck than I did (after searching business records, bankruptcy records and newspapers local to the alleged founding location: Cupertino / Santa Clara County). Frankly, after reading the Talk page discussions about fiction intentionally introduced at that article page, I'm even beginning to suspect a hoax article built on a believable premise. Xenophrenic (talk) 23:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: If the article is not Kept, it would be better to redirect to List of pizza chains of the United States's section on defunct past chains, rather than to delete entirely. That way the history would remain available at the redirect, and if/when someone comes with more sources it could be restored properly. --doncram 22:33, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
A redirect to the list article should be acceptable. But probably not to the defunct section, as an actual non-notable, but still operating small chain exists: Planet Pizza. Xenophrenic (talk) 23:09, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Okay on a link to the list article in general not to the specific section. The California-based Planet Pizza and the Connecticut-based one can both be listed.
About more searching, i asked over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request#California historical news search (1980s-1990s) on Planet Pizza and the quick reply by John M Baker is negative. I asked for LATimes search, and he did that and more. Cupertino is not near LA, so i still think there can exist substantial coverage out there, but I am not finding it now. Done for now. --doncram 02:22, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep There are numerous secondary sources that discuss both the philosophy and religious aspects of the Star Wars Universe. The article itself lists the book Star Wars and Philosophy and there are other books: The Dharma of Star Wars, The Gospel according to Star Wars: Faith, Hope, and the Force, Star Wars Jesus, etc. In addition there has bee a good bit written on the mythological foundations of the Star Wars universe; see for instance Star Wars sources and analogues. Jediism is a real-world crossover of the Star Wars religious ideas with some political impact; see the Jedi census phenomenon. The topic seems highly notable. The article has a general source list, but it could obviously be expanded and better sourced. However, these problems are a surmountable problems per WP:SURMOUNTABLE and not reasons for deletion. One may question whether philosophy and religion should get separate articles or a combined article; but this again is a matter of ordinary editing, not deletion. A notable topic and surmountable article problems suggest keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 21:30, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Previous debate closed as no consensus. Sources are either trivial, passing mentions or not about the mall and are not enough to meet WP:GNG.

  • Source 1 is a primary source
  • Source 2 contains one half of a sentence about the mall
  • Source 3 and 4 are just directory listings
  • Source 5 only contains one sentence about the mall
  • Source 6 and 7 are about a single store opening at the mall nothing about the mall itself
  • Source 8 and 9 talk about traffic around the mall and other places nothing actually about the mall itself
  • Source 10 probably the best source, but still doesn't say much about the mall itself
  • Source 11 about traffic around the mall area and other areas, nothing about the mall itself

AfD is not a mechanism to be abused over sour grapes due to a previous recent outcome. I also see the nom created the first AfD which only ended in March.

  • Userify -- Apart from the Biblical quotation, this is unsourced. I strongly suspect that the interpretation of the quotation will be a matter of dispute. This is a subject that needs much more than traveller's tales and guidebooks; these hardly count as WP:RS. Which king is referred to in the title? The king of Edom or some greater king? The simple reading is that the Israelites wanted to pass through Edom along the main road, but the king of Edom would not let them. That implies nothing except that there was a main road across Edom. Where it stated and ended, and how much further it went is essentially a matter of speculation i.e. WP:OR. It may be that there are scholarly discussions of the question, in which case they should be cited. Peterkingiron (talk) 13:13, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I see no evidence it ever existed as one route. It looks like the other articles on other Wikipedias are copies of this one except [24] which is about a different road. CesareAngelotti - why do you think there was ever such a highway? Do you understand what we mean by WP:NOTABLE? It needs to have reliable third party sources discussing it so I think you haven't read our criteria for notability. Perhaps you will reconsider your !vote or justify it please by showing these sources. This isn't actually a vote, the closing Administrator will look at the policy and guideline based arguments and make a decision based on them, not a count of !votes. Dougweller (talk) 14:45, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
As you might realise, ancient routes abounded, and given their nature, adequate references are hard to come by unless you're an anthropologist or an expert on the subject matter. At a quick glance, I find hundreds of references to a highway named as such, but in order to attest to which particular path the sources refer to I'd have to spend hours reading those sources. That's why I support asking an expert. It may turn out to be of no relevance, or may be based on inaccurate information. We must err on the side of caution and take our time in determining the facts. There was such a highway (by name and region), there's no evidence to say there wasn't: what needs to be determined is the accuracy of the information relayed in the article. As for your administrative concerns, don't worry: I have spent years editing on Wikipedia. Regards, CesareAngelotti (talk) 14:57, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
At a quick glance you find hundreds of sources? Care to share a couple of them? After all, you are not the only wikipedian who can read. We might share the burden. Kleuske (talk) 16:45, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know I'm not the only one! A simple Scholar search returned thousands of articles. I don't have access to academic databases at the moment, so if you do you might add a great deal to the discussion. The articles' descriptions shed light to the fact that there indeed was such a road, althouth as I said I can't access the articles themselves. Thanks, CesareAngelotti (talk) 16:28, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes... I've been over those and ended up with the above. There's more than one road called "Kings Highway", in the UK, the US, Australia and in Jordan.

  • Some Comments:
    1. Bear in mind that the amount of literature devoted to the Bible—secular as well as religious—is immense, and anything mentioned in the Bible is probably notable unless it is an obvious subtopic of something else.
    2. "King's Highway" is indeed too vague a search term. I suggest searching "King's Highway" "Via Maris" or "דרך המלך" "דרך הים" in Hebrew; sources that discuss one Levantine trade route will likely discuss its better-known fellow.
    3. Here are the first few of the relevant-looking sources I've found by searching Google Scholar in Hebrew: [25] [26] [27]. I do not have access to any of these journals and I can only see the fragment Google shows when searching, but those excerpts seem to indicate the "King's Highway"'s significance. Note that one of these sources indicates that research on the ancient trade routes mentioned in the Bible, including this one, is based largely on the work of Nelson Glueck.
    4. It is not surprising that the exact path of an ancient highway is debated and this does not make it less notable. For a source mentioning one of the disputed parts of the route, see [28]. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 20:40, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

            • You don't appreciate the amount and complexity of extant knowledge in the field. From I quickly gathered, researches identify a road that has been used in prehistory and protohistory, and written about by early civilizations. Then came the Romans and paved a good part of it, incorporating it ito their official Roman roads system with milestones and the like. This is essentialy a separate thing. Their road was kept in use long after they were gone, but incorporated into newer road systems. Maybe this even deserve a third article.

I don't know how to check his citation count, but this professor's publications look a bit too skimpy (in the Ohio U. listing) and there's nothing in the Honors section. Clarityfiend (talk) 04:04, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I am not going to weight in on this article being deleted, but this link [39] shows about the level of his citation. His Southern Garden Society book was only published a little over a year ago, so it might yet come to be more cited, and his translations of a few major Chinese scholarly works might be of some note. One think I remain unsure of is if there might be references to him in sources in Chinese. His BYU bio mentions among other things his composing an 80-line poem about the history of the activities of the Palace Museum, in Chinese, presented at a conference at the Palace Museum. I'm not sure if he would get notice is Chinese publications, but that is one possibility.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:06, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

This may be a case of wp:autobiography. The same editor uploaded a high-resolution photo of the subject (File:Vitthal Patil - Choreographer - Actor - Director.jpeg) that cannot be found on the internet using Google image search. This leads me to the conclusion that the author is the subject himself, or somebody closely connected to him. The problem with the article is the wp:notability. There are four references: one to Facebook, one to the IMDb (not a reliable source per Wikipedia:External_links/Perennial_websites#IMDb), one to a YouTube trailer that does not mention the subject, and one to a page that also does not mention the subject. So, the article is basically unsourced. I tried Google general search and Google books, and there are some hits, but nothing very convincing. This is the only reliable-looking source I found.

  • Keep - He's been the UK Representative of the Government of Gibraltar since 1988. The subject has an OBE which isn't insignicant but crucially has an entry in Who's Who; [40]. This means he's been judged as notable by the experts at Oxford University Press. I wish people would check the obvious places WP:BEFORE. Barney the barney barney (talk) 11:41, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - So far as I can tell, the nominator is under a mizapprehension - the profile and interests of the main contributor to the article, who obviously has some interest in Gibraltar but whose main interest seems to be in Brazilian articles on Portuguese Wikipedia, simply don't match those of the subject of the article, a Gibraltarian born in Northern Ireland and who is a long-term British resident. The article itself seems reliably referenced, and while the subject is fairly obviously only modestly notable in Britain, he is equally obviously highly notable in Gibraltar. This is not entirely surprising - the position of representative of a colony to its colonising power tends to be an influential one back in the colony, and particularly when, as in this case, the representative has been in post for 25 years. PWilkinson (talk) 20:30, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The points made by Barney and PWilkinson are overwhelmingly strong. To them I would add that there appears to be significant coverage of the subject and his position, such as [41].

  • Keep he is a WP:N& WP:V author of rabbinic literature such as his work "Sefer Yalkut Chadash" as noted online and still published and available [42] (Amazon); [43] (Ebay). This is only a {{Rabbi-stub}} & {{Bio-stub}}. Article was only created a couple of weeks ago. Please note WP:CHANCE and WP:DONOTDEMOLISH as the article is being improved. Thank you, IZAK (talk) 11:47, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • By which criterion of WP:NAUTHOR was Leiter notable for his book? My searches indicate that Yalkut Chadash is utterly obscure: there are less than a dozen distinct mentions of Yalkut Chadash in HebrewBooks and Otzar HaHochma—which, as you surely know, are very inclusive databases of rabbinical literature—and most refer to the same passage, a Hasidic tale about the Rebbe of Tolne. (The fact that Yalkut Chadash is sold on Amazon and eBay reflects the popularity, among some Judaica collectors, of 'early' American rabbinic works.)
      The fact that the book is a Yalkut (roughly: an anthology) only counts against its notability, since Likkutim/Yalkutim are commonplace and contain little original material by definition. Your linking to Yalkut is deceptive, as Yalkut Chadash's notability does not approach that of any of the other works listed there; it was added to the list by the same user who created Rabbi Simon Leiter. (In my opinion, article Yalkut is completely invalid as a partial title match that could potentially be extended to over a hundred entries. It should redirect to Yalkut Shimoni, the only Yalkut referred to as "Yalkut" alone.)
      Finally, WP:DONOTDEMOLISH is not a reason to keep; it is a reason to be patient about an article's state. Notability does not usually increase with the passing of time. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 15:44, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@הסרפד: Notability in the field, not notability in general media, is the standard, per WP:ANYBIO: "The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field" as well as WP:SCHOLAR in this case in the field of Torah scholarship. Also, in years gone by, user Shirahadasha (talk · contribs) had once noted [44] in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chaim Dov Keller that: ".. Notability in the field, not notability in general media, is the standard, and that is met here. There is no problem I can see that can justify a delete vote..." and the same applies here. As for the inline/internal link to Yalkut it is legitimate in the context and at this time in order to illustrate what the name is about, it is obviously not what the work Sefer Yalkut Chadash is about per se. Methinks you are setting a very high bar for what can be included on WP by ignoring WP:NOTPAPER and WP:BEBOLD that are essential for building up WP as an encyclopedia and not tearing it down if it does not meet your personal exceedingly high standards given your predilection for voting to delete almost all suggestions that are posted on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Judaism, while I function in the mode of Meta:Inclusionism. Thanks, and Shabbat Shalom. IZAK (talk) 19:15, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will not dwell on the differences in our ideas of notability; though you exaggerate my deletionism a bit, we obviously disagree often, but I think my concept of notability is somewhat closer to the general Wikipedia community's than yours.
However, it is clear that you ignored the first part of what I wrote above: I demonstrated that Leiter was not notable in his own field—rabbinical literature! הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 19:44, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Won two industry level awards.

In my WP:BEFORE the ONLY WP:RS I came across [47] and [48] which appears to be the only reliable source covering the company, which is accusing the multiple-company organization of graft and corruption.

Hello Gene93k, I have read through your points made above though i don't believe this falls under the criteria of a deletion tag. It is stated that this should only be the case if the page is beyond repair, which this is not.
I Have also made some notes on the talk page but also wanted to put forward some notes here. The main point you mentioned above was that the vast majority of sources are of the org's own website or the website site, though this is not and has not been the case. At the time of the deletion tag being added there were 5 of the 14 references being from primary sources. This was not the vast majority though i have taken on board your feedback to improve the page and will continue to do so. The page has many references that are not included in the above such as The Guardian [49] Katrinamoris2014 (talk) 16:04, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gaijin42, I have now removed the primary sources 1, 2 and 3 (Tony Charalambides website and the companies website). I will continue to work on building references from third party credible sources. However, the page as it stands is not worthy of deletion.

  • Weak keep. While I have no reason to doubt that the nominator complied with WP:BEFORE, I do wonder how extensive their effort was. Admittedly, the kind of reviews needed to show a thirty-year old book's notability are often old enough to be either entirely offline or only showing up as almost invisible snippets on a GBooks search, but in this case, the second result in a GBooks search using the book's title and author's surname is an academic work which discusses the book in detail. The other results I looked at within the GBooks search weren't as conclusive - but they included entries in bibliographic guides for librarians (reliable but fairly short and possibly not selective enough), a passing mention in a literary encyclopedia (where even a mention is almost certainly based on reliable sources), and a number of older tantalising snippets, which I suspect - but can't prove - would fully establish notability.

  • Keep and speedy close. Basic check shows the novel was reviewed in Locus #327, a clear signal of notability for works in its genre.

  • Redirect and Merge with O. R. Melling. The author barely has notability (probably doesn't), and a Google search with the word "review" mostly brings up self-publishing sites (eg. GoodReads) and amazon.com. The rest are blogs from what appear to be fans. No notable reviewer or critic seems to even know this books exists.

The result was delete. There's not an overwhelming consensus here, but the weight of the arguments seem enough to call this delete. An argument was made that, As time passes, (14825) will be a significant object of public, scientific, and academic interest.. If that turns out to be true, then I suspect sufficient additional references will surface to establish WP:N, and the article can be re-created at that time. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:20, 16 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Doesn't seem to meet WP:NASTRO. No significant studies on this object, not in a catalogue of note, not discovered before 1850, and not visible to the naked eye. StringTheory11 (t • c) 19:53, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Criteria #1: Yes, the asteroid is not visible to the naked eye - in fact, no asteroid is. Criteria #2: The asteroid is listed in many significant databases including the external links provided within the article. To date the asteroid has been observed 713 times, for verification please see the IAU link in the external links in the article. Amateur astronomers can and frequently do use these publicly available databases to observe asteroids and gather photometric data to define the rotational period and shape models of asteroids lacking these parameters. Criteria #3: The asteroid has just been named after a disabled American astronomer within the last month who specializes in asteroid spectroscopy that focuses in the region of space in which (14825) Fieber-Beyer is located and is a target of her studies finding main belt parent bodies for terrestrial meteorites, she was interviewed and explicitly stated this - the link to the newspaper interview is listed in the references. The MPC citation for the naming of the asteroid is listed in the references as well as two published new articles. The page was created to document findings of the past, present, and future study of asteroid (14825) Fieber-Beyer as they become newly available. The existing information has been incorporated and new information will be updated regularly. Criteria #4: It is undisputed that the discovery did not take place before 1850. Therefore, notability is met for criteria #2 and #3. SKFB (talk) 20:37, 22 July 2014 (UTC)SKFB[reply]

I'm with StringTheory11 on this one, the article should be deep sixed.
  • Criteria 2 fails because, while it may be of interest to amateur astronomers, it has not been given a designation on any relevant catalog. Also, just because it's been observed a few hundred times doesn't make it notable. WP:NASTRO also makes a mention of not duplicating lists just for listing sake - if it's in IAU and others, why repeat it here?
  • Criteria 3 fails (in my mind) because I was unable to find a single peer-reviewed article where this asteroid was the main focus (or ANY focus). Also, Fieber-Beyer had not (as of the time of the writing of the article) actually viewed the asteroid herself, let alone published work on it.
I was going to suggest it gets put on the list of notable asteroids in the asteroid belt, but I don't know if it even would fit there... Primefac (talk) 21:01, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it should be noted the asteroid is noted on a few different Wikipedia pages and the stub created appends these listings as well. For example, on Edward_L._G._Bowell all 572 of his discovered asteroids are listed. Each that has a given name has a stub attached to it, while the others are just listed with their numbered designations. The stub for (14825) Fieber-Beyer has external links, citations, news articles, etc. much more so than a majority of the objects in that listing. A great many amateur astronomers do follow Bowell's astronomical works and by visiting his page and clicking on each asteroid one can clearly see the breadth of Bowell's contributions in astronomy and inspire others to do the same. Professionals also seek out Bowell and his asteroid finds. The asteroid is also listed in List_of_minor_planets_named_after_people. As of April 15, 2014, the IAU Minor Planet Center reported orbits for 639,091 minor planets, of which 393,347 are numbered minor planets, and 18,504 are named minor planets (IAU Minor Planet Center: http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/lists/ArchiveStatistics.html). Only 5,954 light curves (rotation rates are derived from this) have been determined as of February 28, 2014 (http://www.minorplanet.info/lightcurvedatabase.html). The majority of these can be attributed to amateur astronomers. As time passes, (14825) will be a significant object of public, scientific, and academic interest. Fieber-Beyer has an extensive publishing history in peer-reviewed journals i.e. Icarus_(journal), Meteoritics_&_Planetary_Science, Astronomy_and_Astrophysics, and regularly archives spectral data on the NASA Planetary Data System Small Bodies Node. Removing the stub is a disservice to the planetary science community, both amateur and professional. SKFB (talk) 22:42, 22 July 2014 (UTC)SKFB[reply]

Even if an asteroid has a light curve, this does not constitute significant coverage per NASTRO or the WP:GNG, considering the sheer number that have them, while NASTRO explicitly states that naming is not a reason for notability. Sure, the Edward Bowell article you mentioned above may link to stubs, but those should be redirected too; it doesn't matter that other stuff exists. Sure, if Fieber-Beyer gets a Wikipedia page (which I currently have no opinion on as I have not researched that issue), then a note about the asteroid should be included there, but as I mentioned, that doesn't immediately make the asteroid notable per the guideline. As for the journals, can you provide some links to examples of the peer-reviewed sources that are present in these journals? StringTheory11 (t • c) 18:30, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

5,954 asteroids with lightcurves do not constitute "sheer number" considering there are 639091 minor planets. The asteroids with lightcurves make up 0.009% of the population. That's less than 1% of minor planets having a lightcurve. It seems we have come to a stalemate on notability. As far as Fieber-Beyer's publications, she has several.[P 1][P 2][P 3][P 4][P 5][P 6][P 7][P 8][P 9][P 10][P 11][P 12][P 13][P 14][P 15] These are just a few of the thirty plus peer-reviewed articles I located for Fieber-Beyer's research which is centralized in the region of space (14825) is located. It is a target body for her research. SKFB (talk) 17:20, 29 July 2014 (UTC)SKFB[reply]

That percent is wrong; doing the arithmetic is is 0.9% that have light curves, not 0.009%, quite a significant difference. 0.9% of over 600000 is still quite a large number. Looking at the sources, they again only mention the asteroid in passing or as a comparison, and do not go in-depth on it, which is required for significant coverage. Clearly not evidence of notability, and instead evidence that there does not appear to be significant coverage. StringTheory11 (t • c) 06:01, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes,0.9% is correct. That is still less than 1% of the total number of asteroids having a lightcurve. It is not a large number, that is a minute number. Criteria #2 and #3 are met. The asteroid is listed in many significant databases, has been observed 713 times, and is of interest to amateur astronomers. Furthermore, the asteroid was named after a disabled American astronomer who specializes in asteroid spectroscopy that focuses in the region of space where asteroid (14825)Fieber-Beyer is located and is a target of her studies finding main belt parent bodies for terrestrial meteorites. Citations regarding this have been listed in the article. SKFB (talk) 14:03, 30 July 2014 (UTC)SKFB[reply]
Just a note, as of today there are now 646094 minor planets, so that would make the 0.9% even much more less than 1% [P 16] Also, CalSky is ANOTHER catalog of significance to astronomers amateur and professional further solidifying criteria #2 being met. The citation provided links to asteroids of the 14000s. If you click on 14825 Fieber-Beyer you can generate the ephemerides of (14825), as well as get a graph that reveals when asteroid (14825) will be visible or calculate the date of closest approach or opposition. CalSky is used worldwide by amateur and professionals.SKFB (talk) 15:12, 30 July 2014 (UTC)SKFB[reply]
Found a reference specifically stating when asteroid (14825) Fieber-Beyer will be spectroscopically studied providing even more detailed knowledge about this minor planet. A line was added in the article and the citation sourced on the article page (14825) Fieber-Beyer. SKFB (talk) 14:20, 31 July 2014 (UTC)SKFB[reply]
We have already established that this asteroid does not pass criterion #2, since it is not in the Bayer, Flamsteed, Messier, NGC, or Caldwell catalogues, and is in no catalogue besides the minor planet catalogue, which contains every single minor planet. CalSky is not a catalogue; it's simply a calculator. 0.9% may seem like a lot by percentages, but we have to remember that 0.9% of over 500000 is still a huge humber, around 5000. Criteria #3 is not met because every link you provided does not constitude significant coverage; but again constitudes simply passing mentions in the article, which clearly is not enough for the WP:GNG, and thus is not enough for WP:NASTRO. StringTheory11 (t • c) 17:32, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. In terms of its representation in the scientific literature, this clearly fails WP:NASTRO. We do have two newspaper articles about its naming, but they're not really different from each other in what aspect of the subject they cover, and they're both very local. I don't think that's enough. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:24, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Multiple independent sources on the asteroid naming, which might be irrelevant for WP:NASTRO but surely are relevant for WP:GNG. Add to this that there is a lightcurve, and thus evidence of academic interest, and we have a case for notability (That a lot of asteroids have light curves is irrelevant - notable does not mean unique).--cyclopiaspeak! 13:28, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Third recreation of an article that has already been G11-speedied twice since its first creation on July 2; in light of that I felt it better to go the AFD route instead of speedying it a third time. The problem here is that the article is essentially a prosified version of a résumé, rather than a properly encyclopedic article about him — and while it does cite reliable sources, every last one of them simply mentions his name briefly within coverage of other topics and thus fails to constitute sufficiently substantive coverage of him (as in the kind where he is the subject). The sources would support an article about the company he leads, in which his name could appear unlinked, but they do not support a standalone biography of him. So it's still a delete.

The two links provided by 114.81.255.41 don't mention his name in Latin letters, and when I search for his name 俞永福 in the text, I get lots of results — but they're all parts of words, not freestanding names.

Here it is again without any reference to Nyttend: The grandparent comment is false. Both of those links are absolutely about Yu Yongfu, the UCWeb chairman and CEO. Even translation software like Google Translate translates both of the linked articles well enough that it's very clear that they are about the article subject.

What gets a person into Wikipedia is not the assertion of importance, but the quality of reliable sourcing that you can provide to support the assertion of importance. The UCWeb article was speedied for being a copyright infringement, because it was copied and pasted directly from somewhere else, and this article is not sourced to any substantive coverage of Yu Yongfu himself, but merely to articles which happen to mention his name strictly in passing. That doesn't mean that either the company or him as a person can never have articles on Wikipedia — but the onus is on you to ensure that you're following Wikipedia's content and sourcing rules when you try to write one, and not on Wikipedia to keep any version which violates those rules. Bearcat (talk) 17:24, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, that's why, in support of the notability claim, the first source cited above is an in-depth profile by the People's Daily, which is the Chinese equivalent of a reliable source similar to the The New York Times or The Times. That, along with the other Chinese coverage, makes him notable.  Philg88 talk 17:34, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete Yu Yong has a claim to notability, CEO of large corporation, but I should point out that mention is not significant coverage. The magazine listed by 180.172.239.231 is not in depth coverage, just a mere mention. The other two may possibly be reliable sources, but the Sina source is a republisher, and it is hard to tell.

  • Keep - the FT source[1] indicates him as a major player to watch (it's a full-blown profile - significant coverage), and the article in its current form does not look puffy to me. He's clearly a notable player in Chinese tech, and its mobile industry, which is the biggest in the world, and, although my Chinese isn't good enough to read the relevant Chinese sources, there are clearly plenty of them, as there are in specialist tech publications in English. They're also headlining articles about *him* - not about his business.

  • Weak delete as not notable. While it's apparently really a channel, which would normally counsel redirecting, this is an unlikely redirect. The correct one would be CTC Love, not STS Love (as for some reason that eludes me, the Cyrillic Es in the company's name is romanized as C).

This appears to lack the significant coverage needed to meet WP:GNG. Simply being an old church does not confer notability; per WP:ORG significant coverage still must be demonstrated. I can't find any mention of this organization in news archive searches. Tchaliburton (talk) 14:31, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Request for clarification. The article states that this church is part of the Old Harbor Historic District, which is registered in the NRHP. However, it is unclear to me whether the current building is actually one of the buildings of "special historic and architectural value" listed in the inventory of the NRHP nomination form. (I do see references in that inventory to the former site of an earlier building for this congregation, and to the Adrian Hotel which apparently served as the temporary home of the congregation.) [55] If it is, then at minimum this content (or at least some portion of it) would belong in the article about the historic district. If it isn't, then the notability of the building is in doubt, although some content about the history of the congregation and its buildings might still be appropriate in the historic district article. --Arxiloxos (talk) 16:32, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
National Register of Historic Places - The current church is the former Adrian Hotel, which is no longer a hotel. The church has met in the former Adrian Hotel since 1944 though a sanctuary was built in 1952. The hotel and church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under Old Port Historic District in New Shoreham, RI. The 1974 nomination form lists Adrian Hotel and Harbor Church in Part 25 under Spring Street though it has a 21 Water Street address. This is included in the Wikipedia article.Billy Hathorn (talk) 16:54, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think it would be more relevant to combine this article with the Old Harbor Historic District article and expand on said article to include information about all the structures listed on its record [56] Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 17:08, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If I'm understanding correctly, the church is not on the National Register of Historic Places as an individual building, but it's in the district which is. If that's correct then I think Steve Lux, Jr.'s suggestion makes sense. Tchaliburton (talk) 01:21, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct Tchaliburton. I went through the register for Rhode Island in great detail and verified this in the nomination form here [57]. I added a full listing of all the properties on the district article page. This article page does not seem necessary. I believe the information in the current article should be used on the district article page. Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 02:30, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This link has the Old Harbor Historic District individual listings: [2]Billy Hathorn (talk) 02:38, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Billy Hathorn, no it doesn't. The file lists all 42 properties as one group. Essentially, the listing on the National Historic Register is for the "district" of properties, not the individual properties themselves. If that were the case, there would be an individual listing for each of the properties, which there is not. Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 03:27, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
NRHP register:

Spring Street:
Property 25 (intersection of Spring Street and Water Street, 21 Water Street): Adrian Hotel First Baptist Church (Harbor Church), 1886
Property 26: Hotel Manisses, 1882,
etc.}}Billy Hathorn (talk) 14:09, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Billy Hathorn, I know what the file says. The file lists the properties, as you just showed, as I have included the complete list on the Old Harbor Historic District article page. These individual properties are not listed in the NRHP, but only as a group. Therefore, your page should be merged with the district page and the Harbor Church page should be deleted as it does not constitute having its own article.

  • Delete or redirect, per Steve Lux, Jr.. Non-notable. The article currently conflates and confuses the entirely uninteresting religious institution (really, who cares what the parson's wife's name is?), in its fifth or sixth premises, with the structure of the Adrian Hotel, which appears to be of some conservation interest though not enough to justify a separate listing by the NRHP. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:16, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Wikipedia has a listing of locations on the National Register of Historic Places. Not all have their own articles. Here is a part of the listing of, for example, Coconino County, Arizona, where there are some red links implying that they may be eligible for their own articles. I didn't notice any only in black print. Here are three red and two blue listings:

Billy Hathorn, wrong. Red links do not mean that something is eligible for its own article. It means that someone linked it to a non-existant article page, such as JC Car Rentals. Just because I linked to a non-existant article page, does not mean that JC Car Rentals should ever have an article page in an encyclopedia. Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 13:13, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If JC Car Rentals is an historic place on the register, wouldn't it qualify for a Wikipedia article? Billy Hathorn (talk) 14:00, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We are not discussing JC Car Rentals. We are discussing the fact that the red links do not justify having a separate article. But for the sake of argument, yes, essentially, if JC Car Rentals was listed on the historic register then it may have its own article. But the fact is, Harbor Church is not listed on the historic register. The only tie to the church is that the Adrian Hotel building is in the DISTRICT NRHP listing. Steve Lux, Jr. (talk) 14:19, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Old Harbor Historic District or delete. If the "history" section in the article was sourced to reliable secondary sources, I would say "keep".--180.172.239.231 (talk) 12:48, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't see how merging would be a viable solution. It would make the Old Harbor HD article look very distorted, giving undue weight to the church's information. If there is substantial information about the church itself (which there is), then it merits a stand-alone article. CesareAngelotti (talk) 14:36, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you elaborate on your issue with the sources in relation to WP:GNG? Tchaliburton (talk) 05:11, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I felt that the coverage was the usual reporting of a local athlete that is common. Jakejr (talk) 01:56, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I respectfully disagree. These stories are not routine coverage of a local athlete. There are in-depth pieces about his hockey career and separate profiles about him as a referee. Tchaliburton (talk) 02:58, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per Tchaliburton. Sources are suffice to meet GNG. --Hockeyben (talk - contribs) 14:03, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Most of the significant coverage on Highbeam is from the Portland Press Herald, so that basically counts as one source. But there is also coverage in the Stockton Record. And minor coverage elsewhere. So I think this just gets over the GNG bar. In any case, even if he is not notable enough for a standalone article the sourceable text should be merged with Frank Bathe, not deleted. Rlendog (talk) 20:12, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm uncertain, but leaning keep based on Rlendog's very good analysis. At the same time -- though not an AfD issue -- I would think that when creating articles like this it is generally good practice to have supporting refs; this article, though it has ELs, is lacking in refs, which is the sort of thing that attracts AfD nominations.

  • Keep. It's a worthy charitable non-profit that has persisted for a long time. In paywalled newspaper database, i find "In Service: Native of city discovered his life's mission in a changing South Africa" Author: O'Donnell, Lisa, in Winston-Salem Journal (NC). 08/17/2008. This is a full-on article about the organization and what it does, keying off the story of a North Carolina lawyer Norton Tennille who quit his practice to go to Cape Town, South Africa, and organize the nonprofit. It was first called the South African Environment Project, and later renamed to the South African Education and Environment Project, and it "focuses mostly on education programs for pre-school children and high-school students in Cape Town." Later in the longish article: "Norton Tennille's organization, SAEP, reaches children on several fronts. At the high-school level, SAEP sponsors poetry workshops and debate teams, supplies science and math tutors, helps publish school newspapers and provides training in computers and information technology. Among other programs, it also provides "Gap Year" internships for recent high-school graduates. The interns in the program learn leadership skills, volunteer in the community and take some academic courses to prepare them for college and their careers. Many of the volunteers who help run the programs are American college students. Tennille has used his contacts here to form partnerships with many universities including UNC Chapel Hill, Duke and Yale. Students from the University of Cape Town also serve as tutors and mentors in various programs. Tennille's organization has a Winston-Salem flavor. Winston-Salem residents and natives sit on its various boards." and it continues. This is significant coverage about the founder and the organization.
Another news article about it is: "South Africa visit a culture shock" by KILMENY ADIE in Illawarra Mercury. 11/27/2001.

While this person might have enough notability to keep an article that actually cited proper reliable source coverage, as written this article is entirely unsourced. In addition, it warrants mention that the article was created by User:Delphico, and is therefore a likely conflict of interest if you compare that username to the topic's primary claim of notability.

Appears to be an advertising article for a flash-in-the-pan product which is no longer in existence. I would argue that this fails notability as all the citations are from about a single week last Autumn and there's no other references since; although notability is not temporary, I don't believe these articles constitute significant coverage.

  • Merge (and redirect) to Gel bracelet. This is actually a quite well-sourced article. Even if the trend was short-lived, it relates directly to the sex bracelet section on Gel bracelet and demonstrates an instance where such wristbands were deliberately intended to reflect the person's relationship status and availability. I don't think it should be deleted outright. Mabalu (talk) 14:35, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what to make of this. I assume this ties into Vijay, but there is no lead, it is all tables, very little context. Found when patrolling the end of the NewPages log.

The many reviews of specific rap operas may include descriptions of the genre. Here's a book, The Ringtone Dialectic: Economy and Cultural Form (MIT Press), that gives some definition of the genre. My impression, though, is that the article will be stubbish. Everybody seems to know what a rap opera is and to throw the label around, but like many contemporary forms of expression, nobody's felt the need to pin it down as a critical genre.

'Delete' COI: The article appears to be written by William Jarret, who is listed as the Lead Designer for the company in the article. The author hasn't shown this company is Notable: The sources are a couple single pages of Raider magazine (not available online to verify if these are ads placed by the company or articles discussing the company at length), another wiki site and a blog post showing a single image obviously created by the company announcing an order. Stesmo (talk) 18:35, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Jarrett is not only their "lead designer", he is also their marketing guy... at least according to a portion of the article that was just deleted by an IP editor that came on Wikipedia solely to delete the two lines mentioning Jarrett in the article. While this version of the article does strip most (not all) of the promo-y material that was in previous versions, the current sourcing on it is dubious in meeting our guidelines for the audience requirements of establishing notability for organizations, relying heavily on a single magazine. I also don't know whether the magazine Raider is an independent source, or whether it's a magazine which Arktis advertises heavily in; we do not seem to have an article on this magazine. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:09, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Substantial coverage is cited in the article, although the nominator evidently disagrees that it's substantial coverage. This is one of a large number of cookie-cutter nominations intent on wiping out the existing comprehensive coverage of the streets of Hong Kong. I don't think these deletions would result in an improvement to the encyclopedia. I wouldn't necessarily object to thoughtful, substantive mergers of these street articles into one or more collective articles in keeping with the teachings of WP:PRESERVE; wholesale deletion is not consistent with my conception of our editing policies and the values that explain why this project exists. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:10, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
One editor created a large number of cookie cutter articles on Hong Kong streets. Almost all the articles I have nominated were created by the same editor in a short space of time. There seems to have been an effort to create a directory articles about every street in HK irrespective or notability. They contain the same reference to a tourist guidebook or no reference at all. The reference only proves the existence of the road not the notability. The article doesn't even mention why the road is notable. Just because it is a large road does not mean it is notable. Most of the information within these articles is original research rather than based on sources.
In contrast to the creator, these are not cookie-cutter nominations. The text used above may be repeated but before nominating time and care is taken to research the subject. The article history is checked and if the article can be improved then it will be. Look in my contributions log and you'll see these nominations are a trivial section.
Wikipedia has a sister project called WikiVoyage to which I also contribute. All these road articles would make an excellent addition to that site. While Wikipedia is not a tourist guidebook or directory, WikiVoyage is. If you want to preserve these article, copy them over to there. Rincewind42 (talk) 00:58, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note 1: I seriously doubt that the information of this article would be suited for Wikivoyage. Nevertheless, if you think it is, as your introductory note unclearly suggests, I would encourage you to move it there, rather than only requesting a deletion here. You say that you are a contributor to Wikivoyage, so I would very much appreciate if you made the effort to transfer the content there rather than asking whoever is reading your mass nominations to do it.
Note 2: "if the article can be improved then it will be" => but you haven't improved ANY of the 34 articles that you have PRODed or/and AfDed. Wasn't there anything to be improved there?
Note 3: "The article history is checked" => so what? This article (Austin Road) has been created 9 years ago. It had 63 edits. And suddenly you come and say "I want this article erased. NOW". Same thing for the other 33 articles. Is it urgent to delete them? Does it make Wikipedia a better place? Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 16:59, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Besides the very in-depth source indicated by Arxiloxos [62], there's also more I've found in just a few seconds.[63] Yes, this nom has lately been making several unhelpful AfDs of almost every Hong Kong street article they come across when time and effort would be better served improving existing articles. --Oakshade (talk) 03:27, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Please stick to the subject of the article without making comments about other editors. This is a exaggeration, "almost every Hong Kong street article they come across." There are several similar AfDs because several similar non-notable articles were created in bulk. The number of similar AfDs does not have any bearing on whither this article should be kept. The second reference you linked is about John Gardiner Austin, whom the road is named after. It only proves that the road exists it doesn't evidence the road's notability. Rincewind42 (talk) 00:58, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's the point. How do you know all of these "similar non-notable articles" that "were created in bulk" are non-notable? Just as they "were created in bulk" you AfD'd all of them in bulk. Your creation of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apliu Street is another obvious example of that.--Oakshade (talk) 22:22, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I hate repeating myself but it seems I have to. In contrast to the article creator, these are not cookie-cutter nominations. The text used above may be repeated because the reason for the nominations are identical. However, before nominating time and care is taken to research the subject. The article history is checked and if the article can be improved then it will be. I didn't just nominate all the Hong Kong road articles in bulk. I have spent over a week going through each one by one. It has taken a great deal of my time to clean up someone else's mess. If you want to improve the article, and can do so, the please do that. I would like noting better than a good quality article on an interesting topic. However, your issue here seems to be nothing to do with the article but rather the number of AfDs. The number of AfD and the discussions on those other AfD has no bearing on the notability of this article. Rincewind42 (talk) 06:23, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"someone else's mess" is certainly a very personal opinion. Underwaterbuffalo (talk) 16:59, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to List of roads and streets in Hong Kong. Arxiloxos' reference is the same one cited as a reason to keep Jordan Road, Hong Kong. To recap, it's a guidebook and although it may have a chapter entitled "Austin Road", the coverage therein is about surrounding buildings and features, which may or may not be notable in their own right. Notability is not inherited such that a road being the location of a notable feature does not make the road itself notable. The "in-depth" source cited by Oakshade contains exactly 20 words (excluding Chinese characters) on Austin Road that do nothing more than describe its route, hardly earth-shattering and readily available elsewhere other than Wikipedia (i.e. Wikitravel or Wikivoyage). Furthermore, the fact that the road is named after John Gardiner Austin contributes to his notability, not the other way around. In summary, per WP:ROADOUTCOMES, this road is non-notable and lacks the required significant coverage in independent reliable sources to warrant its own article.  Philg88 talk 06:25, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The argument to delete because John Gardiner Austin doesn't contribute to this road's notability is a straw man as nobody here is claiming he does. The multi-page chapter on this topic is all encompassing of this road and that it goes into all the features on it is all the more reason of its notability per that source. --Oakshade (talk) 19:26, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not at all, John Gardiner Austin is the lead topic in the cited source. Everything else is ancillary.  Philg88 talk 20:24, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The introduction of the multi-page chapter about this topic explaining it was named after John Gardiner Austin is not a reason to delete this article. It's in fact more reason to keep it as the source is going into the history of this topic. Nobody here is stating just because the street is named after him makes the street notable. --Oakshade (talk) 20:39, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have no desire to see the article deleted, which is why my !vote is to redirect it to a more suitable location. Geographic and other adjunct travel details belong in Wikitravel or Wikivoyage, not here. Who the road is named after and other relevant historical details can be covered in a single paragraph in List of streets and roads in Hong Kong.  Philg88 talk 20:46, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are certainly some HK streets that do not deserve coverage, but it has become clear there is no effort to distinguish between the notable and the non-notable. Apliu Street is perhaps the most famous street in Sham Shui Po. Many Hong Kong articles are poorly referenced and neglected, because generally these subjects get more attention on the Chinese Wikipedia.

This list is an incomprehensible melting pot and it is unmanageable Sismarinho (talk) 20:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Addendum. Just imagine all the athletes who died while fighting in the two world wars. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:49, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- A massive, ugly mess that grows rapidly and is not maintainable. Bzweebl (talkcontribs) 22:47, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete While not inherently non-notable, the list is far too vague and indiscriminate to be of any use to a reader. I would suggest nuking and paving, then creating with a more narrow scope. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 02:12, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Vague criteria and seems like original research. Jakejr (talk) 05:24, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and clean up/split Not a single try at maintenance? No suggestions on the discussion page, or any kind of notification beforehand? Just "Bwah, I don't like it"? Sry, I fail to detect the good faith in calling something "unmanageable" that you haven't tried to manage in the first place. Removing all those non-notable college athletes would be a good start. While this article certainly is a mess in its current state, I think the loss of useful information would weigh in heavily. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 12:43, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I agree that the criteria for being on this list are indiscriminate and vague. Someone can get on the list if they "could still have been active", but that seems like it would necessarily be a judgment call. There's also the criteria about officially retiring, but that's not as cut-and-dry as it seems. Some players don't "officially" retire for years, and many never make a official announcement. Additionally, Lou Gehrig did offically retire, so doesn't that mean the criteria say he shouldn't be included? Why are soccer players who died while actually playing soccer on a separate list? The article says that it's because there's a lot of them, but there are a lot of soccer deaths under "car accident" too, and they're not on a separate list. Why are coaches included for some sports, but not others? Why are baseball umpires included but referees in other sports not? If the list is meant to be athletes only, shouldn't it say that? I do agree with the others that a list of smaller scope such as List of sportspeople who died while competing could work. Egsan Bacon (talk) 16:57, 8 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Fork As most of the delete !votes here are "too vague", can I suggest that individual sports projects are notified of this AFD, in case they want to rescue/fork their list into a more clearly defined list, as I intend to do with cricket and Australian football. When you are talking about individual sports, it is a lot easier to tightly define what "still competing" means than trying make rules that adequately cover all sports. The-Pope (talk) 12:10, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Honestly you people really make me sick with the way you talk about people. The majority of these people died and this is the only way they will be remembered on a larger scale, and you have the nerve to talk about "not important" and "not notable" college athletes? Here's a little newsflash for you: ALL college athletes who die are notable. ALL athletes who die at any level are notable. They trained their whole lives to do what they do and they had it taken away from them along with any chance of having the long life you all take for granted simply by a cruel act of fate. They gave up their lives to be public figures and gave everything they had for the name on the back of their jersey. Get some respect.
I have read this list before. All of it. It deserves to exist because these people deserve to be remembered and how dare you try to take that away from them just because you don't like the way the page looks. Things like this are exactly why I'm starting to really dislike Wikipedia.24rhhtr7 (talk) 04:36, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
