Charity music event with no properly sourced indication of notability. Article relies entirely on primary sources; there's also a possible WP:COI here, as the article's creator also created a recent, similarly poorly-sourced article about one of the bands that participated in the event (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Shroud of Gaia), and is simultaneously quoted on that band's website as giving feedback to them on how great their performance was — and in at least one spot in this article he wrote about the event in the first person ("our national backline sponsor"). As always, I'm willing to withdraw this nomination if somebody can source the article properly, but no matter how worthy the cause may be it's not entitled to keep a primary-sourced advertisement on Wikipedia just because it exists.

  • Delete. This article appears to be a brochure created by someone within the organization. Non-primary sources provided or those that I can find myself are blogs, trivial, or press releases.

  • Weak delete. The tone of the article doesn't strike me as particularly problematic, but as far as I can tell, all many of the sources come from the company or its advertisements or business profiles. Notability is not established. Cnilep (talk) 00:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Maybe in five years. There is little substance in this article, and no indication of cultural relevance. It reads like the "History" or "About us" page on a corporate website. The advertisements section seems like a weird PR thing. Ringbang (talk) 01:53, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Overmars[edit]

Mark Overmars (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article was recreated after previous discussion to delete the article for failing WP:Notability per Wikipedia:PROF#C1 and is also criteria for speedy deletion per Wikipedia:Field_guide_to_proper_speedy_deletion#4._Recreation_of_deleted_material. No proper citations are given, all links are dead and inaccessible and therefore unverifiable. Since the article can not establish this it also does not meet the criteria for WP:NACADEMICS. BlitzGreg (talk) 23:15, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy keep. Bad faith nomination that occurred after the subject's very clear pass of WP:PROF#C1 (highly cited publications on Google scholar) was explained at length to the nominator on the article's talk page. The claim that "all links are dead" is also false. A couple of the links were dead (likely due to the subject recently leaving employment with Utrecht U.) but recoverable through the internet archive, other links (the ams genealogy and distance calculator one) are and were live (but paywalled in the case of the distance calculator) and the nominator also insisted on deleting a citation to a published journal article with the excuse that the courtesy preprint url given in it (now removed) was dead. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:36, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I did not insist on deleting that one citation that was not dead, that was a mistake, and I even admitted so. The issue is not only regarding that, but the very fact, that not only were the sources unreliable, they also fail to establish why the person is notable in the first place per "Simply having authored a large number of published academic works is not considered sufficient to satisfy Criterion 1." the policy in question. BlitzGreg (talk) 23:46, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You continue to fail to understand the difference between a large number of works, and a large number of citations, a difference that is critical to understand WP:PROF#C1 and that was clearly explained to you prior to the nomination. Nobody has been arguing that Overmars warrants an article because of the fact that he has many publications (although that fact is mentioned in the article). The reason he warrants an article is because some of his publications have had a very high impact. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:12, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And you don't seem to understand the difference between a large number of citations and a large number of sources. Those Google results are not enough to go on alone for verifiability, and independent secondary or tertiary sources. And upon further investigation it appears this article was only recreated after a former discussion to delete said article where the exact same content was given as justification for not deleting, but the resolution was still to delete the article see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Mark_Overmars.
That discussion is from the early days of WP and would now be considered archaic, for example because it conflates another person of the same name. Large numbers of citations conclusively establish notability and this individual seems to have many fold more than what have been considered the minimum to pass WP:PROF in quite literally hundreds of AfDs. Agricola44 (talk) 07:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep on basis of stunning GS citations. This nomination is a candidate for worst ever nomination in the WP:Prof domain. A trout for the nominator. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:46, 17 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]
Unverified citations mind you, the Google scholar results may be well over 2000, but they are actually well over 2000 unrelated results. This becomes apparent around page 10 of the scholar citations David is refuting where Overmars is not actually being cited, the results just have similar titles to the keywords searched for. BlitzGreg (talk) 04:06, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It may have inaccuracies, but for computer science Google Scholar is the preferred choice because the other alternatives are even less accurate. See for instance the final bullet of WP:PROF and the source cited there. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:18, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Thousands of citations apiece for several works definitively shows significance through high impact works and thus notability according to Wikipedia:PROF#C1. --Mark viking (talk) 01:14, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:NACADEMICS as the sources demonstrate this person is well known for authoring important scholarly works. Note that the article was in fact recreated after the first AfD and would have been a speedy G4 (in 2005) but it's in fine shape now. Also, I find it amusing that the article featured an image of the footballer Kostadin Markov which wasn't removed for almost 5 years. Ivanvector (talk) 03:37, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Snow Keep. Citations well past numbers req'd in WP:PROF c1 are conclusive. Agricola44 (talk) 07:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]
  • Snow keep Nom is advised to listen to experienced people like David instead of wasting the community's time here. --Randykitty (talk) 12:40, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Actually, David is most likely the one who recreated the article since he is the only one with a record of editing the article that long ago. He only cleaned up the article after my nomination to delete it. BlitzGreg (talk) 14:32, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's fine, AfDs often result in an article being improved while the discussion is ongoing, such that the original concerns for deletion are addressed and the article is saved. Ivanvector (talk) 14:47, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict) Actually, if I look in the article history it was not David who created the article and actually if I look on the talk page he already explained everything that needed to be explained before you nominated this for deletion. I strongly suggest that you withdraw this nomination. Thanks. --Randykitty (talk) 15:04, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I second the motion for nom to withdraw. This is starting to consume valuable time that is best spent elsewhere. Incidentally, WoS citation numbers are comparable to GS, i.e. quite high: h-index 23 and cumulative cites >2000. This evidence is conclusive proof of notability. Agricola44 (talk) 16:22, 17 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]
My second concern here is that once you hit about page 10 of the Google scholar results, the quality of results significantly decreases to where none of the actual results are citing Overmars at all, actually about page 5 it starts doing that towards the bottom. This is the equivalent of using Google search results as as justification for WP:Notability. BlitzGreg (talk) 04:01, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
With a GS h-index of 48, who cares? Xxanthippe (talk) 04:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Disputed WP:PROD. There are almost no notable entries in this list. Wikipedia is not a directory. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:58, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. The article doesn't met the criteria for serving an encyclopedic purpose according to WP:LIST with it essentially being a redlink directory for non-notable wineries, breweries and distilleries that will largely stay forever redlinked since they do not pass the criteria of WP:GNG. The truly notable wineries can be included in referenced prose discussions on Utah wine and I see no reason why Brewing in Utah or Distilling in Utah articles couldn't be created that would include a link to any notable breweries or distilleries in the state. AgneCheese/Wine 01:17, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'll note that List of wineries, breweries, and distilleries in New Jersey started out similar to this one, with only one or two clearly notable items in the list, and being a linkfarm to everything else as well. I think it had an AFD too although under another title. Now it's been vastly improved and all the entities listed have their own Wikipedia articles. Are all the wineries on this list truly not notable, or is this a similar case where further development is needed? ~Amatulić (talk) 15:56, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - But remove the external links and add references from reliable sources other than the company's website. With a little work references can be found; those with no references can be removed, the remaining should notable enough to leave (with a red-link for the eventual creation of individual articles). -- Zyxw (talk)
  • Keep I agree the links on this page need work, but it is not hard to find beer books and New York Times articles about breweries, they are one of the largest sectors of non-durable manufacturing growing in the United States - hence notable. Per WP:CSC, lists may contain nonnotable entries; in fact - they may be set up to contain nothing but non-notable entries. These lists are valid for navigation, although consensus may end up renaming or shaping them differently at some point in the future. I updated parts of several of these lists including List of breweries in California. It was not hard and I learned that beer brewing is one of the largest non-durable industries in the U.S. and growing at a rate of up to 20% per year. Therefore I think the entire topic is relevant. I have worked on many lists in Wiki before; WP:CSC does not demand citations on each line and states that a list may contain non-notable entries. Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:04, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep. This is a sub-article of List of breweries in the United States. If we wish it deleted it is that article that should be nominated with a centralised discussion. Having 50 separate discussions is hopeless and risks contradictory decisions. Lists with non-notable entries are permitted per WP:CSC. SpinningSpark 19:09, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:CSC. Also, I agree with Zyxw that the external links should be removed and the list need to be updated with references. The problems with the list are fixable through cleanup and development. - tucoxn\talk 21:03, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of significance Itsalleasy (talk) 03:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - The article does indicate the topic's significance. For example, see the lead, where it states "The STA directs international attention to cities on the cutting edge of transportation policy. By highlighting successful completed programs and emphasizing transferability, the award helps disseminate new ideas and best practices, while encouraging cities worldwide to improve their own livability."
– Also keep as meeting WP:GNG. Many sources cover winners of the award; there's enough content in reliable sources to merit a standalone article.

  • I agree that WUDC as a whole is notable but I don't believe each individual tournament is notable enough to have its own page. Wouldn't it make more sense to redirect to or merge with World Universities Debating Championship? Note that no other WUDC tournament has its own page. Wieno (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
However, each WUDC tournament ought to have its own page. Given that there is a Debating Portal on WikiPedia. Maybe rather than delete this page a page for each WUDC tournament could be created? - Q — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.143.42.255 (talk) 06:22, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with WUDC article, by perhaps having a subsection on past tournaments. Someone should consider making a hall of fame for the three language categories on the WUDC page as well. Ratibgreat (talk)

Keep, as Chennai Worlds in particular was notable for its poor organization, possible financial mismanagement, and generally poor execution. Even if it's decided that each WUDC tournament doesn't deserve a page (which I would contest as well), future participants and organizers will be justifiably interested in particularly successful or unsuccessful events. They need to know what to emulate and what to avoid. As an analogy, every car model may not deserve it's own page, but some models are particularly notable for being highly successful (the Volkswagon Beetle) or unsuccessful (the Ford Edsel). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.207.215.226 (talk) 16:39, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Fatal helicopter accidents while always sad occurrences are not that uncommon, particularly in the military. No indication that this has lasting significance. Unless something emerges over the next few days indicating possible lasting effects or something particularly unusual, it should be deleted as failing established policies on notability of events, particularly air crashes. We do have articles on 2013 Vauxhall helicopter crash and 2013 Glasgow helicopter crash, but they are seen as more unusual events which may have lasting effects on how helicopters are operated. The following AfD decisions (all delete) are relevant: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2009 French helicopter crash (French military helicopter crash kills 7), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2010 Antarctica helicopter crash (4 killed from research station), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2013 Berlin helicopter crash (2nd nomination) (1 police officer killed). In contrast 2011 Chinook shootdown in Afghanistan was kept, but it was "the worst loss of U.S Military life in a single incident in the Afghanistan campaign" and hence important for the history of the war. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. Simple routine accident. -EugεnS¡m¡on(14) ® 11:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Too early to say. Until the accident investigation has reported, there is no way to know whether this incident is significant or not. Therefore judgements such as 'nothing notable about this one' and 'simple routine accident' are pure unsubstantiated speculation (as if any air accident could be ever be 'simple routine'). Some people are in such a rush to erase other people's efforts. 85.210.175.111 (talk) 12:10, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Too early to say. This may not be a notable accident for now but until the inquiry determinants the cause the accident the article should stay until recommendations are realest. I can give several examples like maybe flying near a nature reserves during low flying training would be changed or to pilot training or any mechanical failure and weather which may of let to the crash but we don't know as of yet because it's been less then 24 hours and new information about the accident will come and paint a better picture of the accident. But like I said keep until the inquest has ended and then vote for deletion. NorthHuanter (talk) 11:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The crash is generating quite a bit of news coverage in Britain at present, and it is rather unusual to have a crash involving an advanced US military helicopter, there could possibly be a few issues still to come out. PatGallacher (talk) 15:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep I see no real rush here. It's certainly not routine for an American asset to crash in the incredibly featureless Norfolk marshlands with four fatalities. So, like NorthHunter, it's a little to early to say. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:31, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment If not for WP:RECENTISM we wouldn't be having much of a debate. There are tons of military accident accidnets like this littering the archives of Aviation Safety Network and many of them with much bigger death tolls than 4 but no article. The difference between those and this- It happened yesterday....William 16:39, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Well I think the point I'm making is that we don't regularly have USAF helicopters crash in East Anglia with four fatalities over the flattest part of the country. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:43, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • However that does not, in any way, establish notability. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:59, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well of course it makes it notable. It's not like a crash in Afghanistan is it? It's one of the most reliable airframes in the USAF, so if mechanical failure has occurred, this is rare. But never mind, the usual clamour and rush to delete an article before we find out what happens is beginning, won't be long before someone links us to WP:AIRCRASH claiming it to be some kind of holy text. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:25, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

              • Now that's where you're wrong. Are you suggesting that the helicopter that crashed in central London was not more notable than a helicopter that crashed in a field in Wales? The Rambling Man (talk) 09:19, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, review later Nothing we know about it so far makes this accident notable, but there's no hurry to make a decision. Wait until the investigation and inquest are completed. 86.5.176.168 (talk) 17:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for now, review later. While it was probably too soon to create the article, based on the limited information available, it is certainly too soon to delete the article - there is insufficient evidence to accurately determine its notability either way at this point.

  • Delete Despite the sad deaths of the crew and loss of the helicopter, military accidents are generally not notable in their own right!!--Petebutt (talk) 20:37, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is not a notable accident. Wikipedia is not a memorial, nor is it a news service, and having generated "quite a bit of news coverage" does not establish WP:PERSISTENCE that is required for notability. - The Bushranger One ping only 02:59, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NOTTHENEWS. The collision between two RAF Grob Tutor light aircraft at Porthcawl in February 2009 had a lot of news coverage as two of the victims were schoolgirls who also happened to be cousins. This was reinforced when another tutor hit a glider a few months later killing another schoolchild. A well referenced article grew from these events but that has subsequently been deleted. I see no reason to expect that coverage of this event will be as extensive.--Charles (talk) 10:20, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:OTHERSTUFF and WP:CRYSTAL. My guess is that you are probably right, but it's far too early to know. Thryduulf (talk) 13:02, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Who deleted Porthcawl mid air collision because I read the report same with the two Red Arrow accidents of 2011 and the changes that were made would make the accidents notable? This accident cause is still unknown and the article stay until the inquest in compete. It makes it more odd that the aircraft is one the safety helicopters used in the US Air Force and a military crashes are common are they more common then car crashes, NO! it crashed into featherless area with no high ground or other and to say military accident would occur more during war zones and training but in some cases unlike in a war zone changes can be made to make flying safer. One more thing I would like to stay is Aviation accidents are less common in some area then others which is good and some area are slowly getting better in aviation safety I.E Russia and Asia but it's odd when it happens. Accidents happen like this is odd, that a crash would happen is the first place but more odd is the circumstances of the accident. Which has led to many questions on what caused this accident. Keep until inquest is done to deiced notability. 13:59, 8 January 2014 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.34.52 (talk)

  • Keep a well-written article. I think four deaths in any single helicopter crash in UK it notable. The fact that it was a USAF accident on UK soil seems to make it more notable. And although it's unlikely, it may be part of a larger picture, so I'd certainly keep until the investigation is completed. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:39, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes, we should consider our WP:READER who may wish to learn more about the Pave Hawk or the USAF deployments in the UK or the Norfolk coastline.

  • Delete Non-notable accident: did not involve "the death of a person of sufficient individual notability to have their own biography page in Wikipedia" and there is no indication that the accident will result "in a significant change to the aircraft design or aviation operations, including changes to national or company procedures, regulations or issuance of an Airworthiness Directive (or the equivalent to an AD in the case of non-certified aircraft)." Regarding the latter clause, the article may be restored following the official inquiry if the inquiry results in significant changes as outlined. Unless and until such changes occur, this remains a non-notable, albeit tragic, incident, which is suitably recorded at List of accidents and incidents involving military aircraft (2000–present).

      • You know, it isn't necessary to respond to everyone else's comments/!votes here. See WP:BLUDGEON. As for safety records, this isn't the first Pave Hawk to crash and unfortunately probably won't be the last. See also the 13 August 2002, 23 March 2003, 20 October 2004 crashes. As for the site in Norfolk being "one of the most featureless parts of the world", you clearly haven't seen it. Blackberry Sorbet (talkcontribs) 15:29, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • (Thanks for introducing yet ANOTHER set of capitals) I've only responded to your !vote. Other comments have been, well, comments. This is a discussion you know. And yes, there have been other crashes, but this is a peacetime crash with four fatalities, not comparable to those you've linked to. The Rambling Man (talk) 15:56, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • Perfectly comparable: crashes during operational flights which were not as a result of hostile actions. Two of the a/m crashes also involved loss of crews. Where's the difference? Blackberry Sorbet (talkcontribs) 16:11, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • "Perfectly comparable"? If I have to explain why not, it's clearly going to be wasted! argh, bludgeoned to death by my own comment... argh! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:17, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I've checked the latest news about this and it looks like there is nothing particularly significant ever since. 2-4 deaths is (still, unfortunately) a relatively frequent death toll, similar to that of private aircraft. This is already commemorated in 2014 in aviation anyway and can be expanded there further.

  • Keep - But add references from reliable sources other than the company's website. With a little work references can be found; those with no references can be removed, the remaining should notable enough to leave (with a red-link for the eventual creation of individual articles). -- Zyxw (talk)


  • Keep - Per WP:CSC, lists may contain nonnotable entries; in fact - they may be set up to contain nothing but non-notable entries. These lists are valid for navigation. More reliable sources can be sought, merely place the correct "citation needed" tags on the page and one of the citation finders will pop over and fix it. I updated parts of several of these lists including List of breweries in California. It was not hard and I learned that beer brewing is one of the largest non-durable industries in the U.S. and growing at a rate of up to 20% per year. Therefore I think the entire topic is relevant. I have worked on many lists in Wiki before and never encountered this sort of situation because WP:CSC does not demand citations on each line and states that a list may contain non-notable entries. Ellin Beltz (talk) 17:00, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I see most of the per-state articles have been prodded (as lists of mostly non-notable places), but wouldn't it be better to create a central list of all the notable breweries (i.e. those with articles) at List of breweries in the United States, merging notable entries as necessary? --Colapeninsula (talk) 22:39, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't see any problem with this idea. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:46, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. As nominated the list was problematic: full of entries without their own articles, sourced only to the breweries' own web sites, and failing to distinguish breweries that are truly Nevadan from those that are merely branches of out-of-state chains. I have cleaned that up and I think there is now no reason to object to the list: it is much smaller, true, but still lists three locals and two chains, all notable enough for their own articles and reliably sourced. The current article is about equally split between a prose overview of beer in Nevada and a list of breweries, so I would have no objection to moving it to beer in Nevada. The existence of at least one published booklet on this topic [Moody, Eric N.; Nylen, Robert A. (1986), Brewed in Nevada: A History of the Silver State's Beers and Breweries, Nevada State Museum, 24pp] suggests that it is notable enough to support an article and not just a list. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep them all, subject to possible merging back of some of the shorter lists into List of breweries in the United States, per Colapeninsula's point above. Deleting (as opposed to winnowing) the existing state lists would be an unhelpful strategy for dealing with this. And as well, some (perhaps nearly all) of the state articles may prove amenable to editing into more substantive articles as David Eppstein has done here. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:16, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like the story of an artist that never made it. He was mentored by a famous artist, who admitted in 1974 that noone wanted his paintings. He's evidently mentioned in Kokoschka's book but I can't find the faintest shred of anything else online, other than wiki mirrors. I don't think an association with a famous artist confers notability here, but maybe I'll be proved wrong.

Disputed PROD. The only coverage I could find was non-independent and promotional, or passing and trivial (announcements of events at the venue). Does not appear to pass the General notability guideline. As for the argument on the talk page ("Notability is clear by the notable bands that have performed at the venue"), notability is not inherited. Having notable groups perform at a venue does not make the venue notable. One of the current references is a dead link, and apparently was non-independent when it worked.

    • Evangp, that is not what the notability guideline says, nor what WP:GNG says, nor do I find it in any other guideline. I fear this is no more than WP:ILIKEIT. The former says "...there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability" and "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition". See also Wikipedia:Permastub and notability is not inherited. Actual coverage is needed for this and any similar articles, in my view. DES (talk) 00:19, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

        • Of course event venues require performers. But the point is that some of them, say for example Madison Square Garden or Albert Hall, have been written about independently and in depth, and thus are notable, and others have not and so are not. If there is significant reliable independent coverage of Antrim Forum, fine, simply cite it and we are done here. If not, this venue is not notable by Wikipedia's current standards.

  • comment The bbc.com link above is merely another announcement of an event at the Forum, is says noting about the forum itself, and so contributes noting to notability. The nitkd.com links says a little about the Forum, but it is only a passing mention and does not, in my view, establish notability, although it coems clsoer than any othre source yet cited. Or it would, except that the thenafl.co.uk link above uses the exact same words which suggests that this is copied from a press release or official statement, and so is not truly independent and of no value in establishing notability.

I don't speak Korean and my searches have been inconclusive. The article says he's a 3 time Cheonhajangsa Ssireum champion, but that doesn't seem to be the national championship and I don't know how significant it is. I also can't confirm his ssireum record.

Pure (self-)promotion/puff piece about an "information security consultant", almost exclusively referenced to the subject of the article himself. Thomas.W talk to me 21:15, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. If people delete the history of computing security you are asking for problems. Slade was active internationally before the US government had fancy jobs with fancy titles like "Homeland". In a discussion of his book Dictionary of Information Security, the article explains why Slade is an unusual person (quoted below, but I don't expect that Thomas will have any idea who these people are). I don't plan to argue with Thomas here or anywhere and won't be back (I'm on wikibreak).

"Virus Bulletin remarked about the unusual collection of five forewords, "that so many acknowledged experts are willing to contribute says something about the author's standing in the field"—the forewords were written by Fred Cohen, Jack Holleran, Peter G. Neumann, Harold Tipton and Gene Spafford."

  • Keep. I think WP:AUTHOR is a better notability guideline than WP:PROF in this case: despite the deletion sort listing under academics and educators, Slade's books seem aimed more at industry than academia. Regardless, it's not hard to find multiple published reviews of his works [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]. The nominator's claim that this is self-promotion appears to be false, easily seen to be false by looking at the article history, and an unfortunately common violation of WP:AGF. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:29, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I think WP:AUTHOR The vast majority of the links on this article are from the authors own self promotion pages. Not to mention his 'claim to fame' is writing a couple of computer security books. That's it. Amazon is full of authors who have written far more books, books that are in multiple languages, used around the world. His biggest claim to fame is doing a lot of reviews for other books. If this article stays in, it is a sign that Wikipedia is just as biased as many people claim it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.64.206.194 (talk) 15:00, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • weak deleteThe fact that these tracks are unremarkable should not play into whether or not they deserve a standalone article; however, I think it seems excessive to have standalone articles for songs unless they were singles or major hit or otherwise notable on their own aside from being performed by a notable band.

Just how does not being remarkable "not play into whether or not they deserve a standalone article"?? TheLongTone (talk) 01:01, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What I meant was that "unremarkable" (the way I took it) is simply your opinion of the song. For instance, I think that this entire band (let alone any individual albums or songs) is completely unremarkable, but there is no denying their notability and the fact that they deserve an article. Maybe I mistook your use of the work unremarkable, though...if what you meant was that the song itself has never received enough coverage/popularity/success to support a standalone article, then that makes sense, but then again, if the article contains content that is verifiable, an argument against deletion could possibly be made--but you won't be hearing it from me--I maintain my stance of 'weak delete'.I feel like a tourist (talk) 21:43, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article demonstrates, and its sources back up, the fact he took part in 2 exhibitions, both of which toured various noteworthy venues (1 of which he took part in equal measure as other photographers whose notability is beyond doubt, and that University of South Africa consider "A highly acclaimed photographic exhibition"); he has contributed extensively to various printed books; Duke University considers his "a highly personal form of expression". -Lopifalko (talk)
  • Additional comment. Miller's photos appear on pp 102, 103, 105 of the notable book Omar Badsha et al, eds, Beyond the barricades: Popular resistance in South Africa (n.p.: Aperture, 1989; 0-89381-375-3). That on p. 103 reappears (titled "Siege of COSATU House, headquarters of the Congress of South African Trade Unions, 1987") on pp 438-439 of a catalogue of an itinerant exhibition, Okwui Enwezor and Rory Bester, eds, "Rise and fall of apartheid: Photography and the bureaucracy of everyday life" (New York: International Center of Photography, 2013; ISBN 978-3-7913-5280-0). (The latter book may for all I know have additional photos by Miller: though excellent in other respects, it lacks an index.) -- Hoary (talk) 10:37, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. This is about an alleged term in microprocessor technology, not in actual aerodynamics. The content is unsourced (WP:V), and, sorry to say it, but "I think I've heard of it" is just about the least persuasive "keep" argument imaginable. The policy-based outcome is therefore a clear consensus to delete the article.  Sandstein  10:41, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The accuracy of the content, in fact everything about the content, is irrelevant to the question of notability and thus whether it has an article. It was needless for the author to offer us copies for this discussion; it might be helpful for creating the content of the article, but it does no have any policy impact on whether the article gets saved. We have plenty of articles on lousy or inaccurate books, and there are many wonderful reads which have not gotten enough notice for us. --Nat Gertler (talk) 17:48, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm not sure what makes them notable, I read it more as an advert. (Might become a customer!) If the article had some additional references from the Latvian "Bizness" newspaper, Baltic Times, etc., I'd consider it more a reference article.

  • Merge.GTA is mentioned as being more notable and having more significant cultural impact than the Saint's Row series, per other deletion articles. However, this is highly arguable, as both series have a significant following. I'd sooner suggest merging a more simplified version of the tracklisting to the actual game's article than straight deleting the articles while retaining none of the information. Would suggest the same for the GTA soundtrack articles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.14.55.22 (talk) 00:11, 12 January 2014 (UTC) 184.14.55.22 (talkcontribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
    Series popularity/following (or any other series) doesn't have any impact on their notability and especially their soundtrack's individual notability. The only criteria is notability as defined by Wikipedia, namely WP:GNG. Popularity and notability very often overlap, but similarly a popular thing can be non-notable just as an unpopular thing can be notable. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 11:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as not passing WP:GNG with multiple reliable independent in-depth sources, such as WP:VG/RS. I see soruces for teh release [18][19], but nothing offers critical commentary besides generic "here is a list of tracks". I can't find anything else of significant coverage and nothing outside the sources about the game itself. I don't suggest merging, as this will make main article unwieldy and a list of every track isn't essential information. The main article already has a sourced prose section on soundtrack and audio, which is sufficient. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 11:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I feel that if Solomon's Temple BBS is deleted then so should these other systems that have been on this list such as Demon_Roach_Underground, to give an example. I do see how the article can look promotional as this was not intended. I was just showing the services that the board hosts. I am also looking for suggestions for improving the article. I have been looking at adding more sources but this is hard considering most of the sources for BBS systems were from the time this system was just getting started and some sources would be on sites that are no longer on the internet.Williammea05 (talk) 05:39, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Could not find enough info to justify notability, though I'm admittedly unfamiliar with the language of the film. Award that the film won seems to be at a film festival of unclear importance (award mentioned in rkt.rs article/interview). A google translation of the Serbian Wikipedia article (also nominated for deletion) consists of "5 to 12 ( Eng. Five Minutes to Twelve) is a Serbian short film from the 2013th The director of the film is Elijah Dodić and starring Natalija Radic , Andrew Colic , Milena Novakovic and Vanja Todorovic .

  • IMDb includes user-submitted content, and uses different inclusion criteria than Wikipedia, including being “of general public interest.” That is met by any work that is publicly displayed, including any video uploaded for public viewing on the internet (e.g. YouTube). So inclusion on IMDb does not indicate notability, as Wikipedia defines it. From Dodić Ilija's name, I would guess this is the creator of the work, and is not an unbiased judge of this issue. Please don't take this personally, I sincerely hope you become a well known filmmaker, but right now I do not think this film nor its creator meet Wikipedia's notability standard. --Agyle (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The restaurant owner is mentioned by name (making this a BLP issue). Claiming that a restaurant does not adhere to health regulations is a business killer, so something like this should not go to AFD, but should be speedily deleted. One of our first rules is "do no harm". Well, we're currently harming this restaurant owner. --Randykitty (talk) 17:22, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Instead is talked about government inspectors citing a number of establishments for various concerns. The other sources were not reliable for citing that this supposed micronation was actually declared by the restaurant owner. One, in fact, cited the whole "People's Republic" stuff to unidentified online forums, but when their reporter went there, the business was operating "normally."

  • Comment - While I agree that the list sections themselves are not encyclopedic and basically just WP:ADVERT linkfarms, there is some worthwhile content in this article. I would recommend moving this article to Brewing in New Hampshire and just removing the list aspect of it while leaving the referenced prose. AgneCheese/Wine 19:03, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. First of all, the list sections as look as there are any notable bnreweries in the lists -- are justifiable WP lists on the same basis as any other. The text section is certainly acceptable. 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 22:23, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I would support a move per Agne71. To address DGG's point though, there is only one borderline notable New Hampshire brewery on the list. The rest are non-notable or are branches of a larger corporate organization (e.g., Red Hook, Anheiser Bush). IronGargoyle (talk) 22:36, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I can understand where you, IronGargoyle, are coming from, but this page gets many visits and I have been religiously keeping it up to date and as accurate as humanly possible over the past few years. I have tried my best to keep it as neutral as possible, along with it being unbiased and self-promoting. For Christ's sake, yes, it contains a list, but an accurate list just to express common, yet fragmented, knowledge in one specific place. If this page is "wrong" for Wikipedia why has it not been removed by the countless previous Wikipedia viewers? I have a passion for craft beer in New Hampshire and am neither personally connected (or will ever be) to any of these breweries. I owe service to none. I strictly want to advocate for relevant and accurate data on a specific industry. There is no other location online that has as comprehensive and accurate data in regards to the brewing industry in New Hampshire. If this page must be deleted how can WE modify it to contain the current data, but not offend the likes of you, IronGargoyle? And furthermore, I do not know who you are, where you reside, or what you know about the brewing industry, but IronGargoyle, many of the breweries listed on this page are notable and industry relevant craft breweries. I use to feel that the freedom of press in which WIkipedia provided was an exemplar in expanding a wider and accurate knowledge base. The fact that some "come-along" can just pop on to a page that has been years active and non-offending for years and just delete others hard work saddens me. So...thanks IronGargoyle for trying to, and probably, deleting something that I have taken pride in maintaining...thanks. And with deletion of this page will come the deactivation of my Wikipedia account, my utter denouncement of Wikipedia, and the resurrection of this page on another, more refined, media-based website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GustavChad (talkcontribs) 02:56, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sir, you don't need to take anything that happens on Wikipedia personally. As I, and others, have noted there are certainly some worthwhile content in this article that follows Wikipedia's guidelines and contributes to Wikipedia's mission of being a global encyclopedia. The last word is key, we're an encyclopedia, not a WP:DIRECTORY. So while an encyclopedic entry on the history and culture surrounding Brewing in New Hampshire is very worthwhile, a phonebook style directory of breweries is no more notable than a List of pizza parlors in New Hampshire or List of car washes in New Hampshire. Do notable breweries in New Hampshire exist? Of course, and they should have articles that pass WP:GNG created and be mentioned in an article about brewing in New Hampshire. We don't have to delete the entire article but some significant work does need to be done and we shouldn't take personally the removal of an material since none of us WP:OWN our edits anyways. AgneCheese/Wine 04:02, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Brewing in New Hampshire. GustavChad's idea for "resurrection of this page on another, more refined, media-based website" is admirable and I would recommend it merely because I think directories are a great benefit to society, whether or not they survive as lists on Wikipedia. I _love_ Wikipedia, but it is rarely comprehensive and accurate, particularly so in the case of lists of businesses. Keep up the good work here and elsewhere. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 10:51, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per WP:PRESERVE. The prose sections in the article (History, Beers) are worthy of preservation, and blue-linked articles exist in the lists. A solution is to limit the lists to verified entries and those that already have a Wikipedia article. The Beer festivals section would benefit from the external links within the section being changed to inline citations, using the links as primary sources for verification.

  • Comment – I just came across this totally at random. I believe notability is asserted by its fairly extensive statutory listing report by English Heritage, by its entry in the "London South" edition (1983) of The Buildings of England series by Pevsner (which I don't have to hand today, but which I can see on the Google Books snippit view), and by its entry in Roger Homan's The Victorian Churches of Kent (1983), which I do have to hand. I don't know whether the separate notability of the architect is relevant or not policy-wise, but I'm sure it can't hurt. Unfortunately I will be struggling for time to do much on this tonight ... could this be left with me for 24 hours pls? Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:44, 14 January 2014 (UTC) — Oh, sorry, I forgot to say that should the article be kept, it should be named St John the Evangelist's Church, Blackheath (but I can sort that out). Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 18:45, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It's only Grade II listed, which is the lowest level. That still doesn't make it especially notable. Almost all churches (except the really modern ones) are listed. Bazonka (talk) 19:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That (i.e. this diff) is about as far as I can get with the sources I have to hand. I suspect more offline sources exist, but I won't be in a position to find any in the short term. It's a bit thin, but I would lean towards Keep here. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 23:35, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Hassocks has made a strong point on our most basic criteria of "multiple independent reliable sources", and the listing does count as a very relevant such source, regardless of the level of that listing. Given that we routinely consider NRHP listings (which on average can be characterized as less notable than the average British listed building) notable, that's more than enough arguments.

  • Keep: based primarily on the English Heritage listing and Pevsner as indicators of notability.

Article that is solely based on speculations, since 2008 there are rumors for a 169 to come, but since then, nothing has happened and it's highly unlikely that the 169 will ever go into production. Jean-Éric Poclain (talk) 03:27, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - although someone could justifiably claim that it meets notability guidelines, let's be realistic here; all of the sources are pure speculation. If there was verifiable evidence of a prototype, then I'd be arguing to keep this article, but things like [32], [33], [34], [35] and [36] are all based on pure speculation, and most of them didn't come true anyway; there are mock-up images, but nothing beyond that. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:41, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I totally agree with that, considering that those rumors and speculations are going around since 2007 (when the production of the 166 stopped) nobody who's realistic will expect that (after more than half a decade) a successor to the 166 will go into production within the next years - despite some sources claiming this since 2007/2008 over and over again.--Jean-Éric Poclain (talk) 15:54, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and redirect to Alfa Romeo 166. The rumours of a successor to the 166 have sufficient coverage for a small "Possible successor" section (although not necessarily that exact title). There isn't enough that can be said to sustain a whole article. Thryduulf (talk) 21:31, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • In case the above isn't clear, I mean for the section to be about the rumours of a successor not about a car that doesn't exist. It doesn't need to be more than a few sentences. Thryduulf (talk) 21:34, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Notability is also disputed.--TCCE (talk) 18:26, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that was more User:Shirt58 attempting to do things by the book, rather than what was potentially the most sensible route - the one the nominator initially took (before they then tried to speedily delete it in a very inappropriate manner). Regardless, I don't think there's any issue of the notability of the speculation in reality; but they didn't even build a public 169 prototype, so it doesn't justify its own article. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:31, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess that makes the notability of this article equal to zero, when there's no prototype or development mule ever sighted. As far as I remember, the last time I read about the OneSixNine was back in 2006 when the lifecycle came to an end, and sales of the OneSixSix dropped dramatically - and (compared to the competition) sales figures of it have never even been that high.--TCCE (talk) 18:46, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The car isn't notable, no. Rumours of the car though are sufficiently notable to be mentioned in an appropriate article, and I think that the Alfa 166 article is the most appropriate for that. Given that we have some verified content about the rumours already it is better to merge that to where they should be rather than delete and start again. Whether we do that or not, the rumours mean that "Alpha Romeo 169" is a likely search term that should be redirected to where we have content. Thryduulf (talk) 20:28, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but under the title "Speculation about the Alfa Romeo 169" or something like that. An automotive equivalent of vapourware for sure, but arguably notable autovapourware, analogous to Development of Duke Nukem Forever. (Question to myself: if the game had never been released, would that article about its development pass the requirements for a stand alone article? Answer: I dunno. Probably?) I agree that "the car itself" is not notable - after all it, never existed. I agree with Thryduulf: "Rumours of the car though are sufficiently notable to be mentioned in an appropriate article". Not to misrepresent this: it was an argument for merge and redirect, not keep. I would go a step further: that pure speculation itself would appear to me to merit a stand-alone article - the car that never was, but was nevertheless had significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. (WP:INVOLVED, etc: I should point out declined the speedy deletion, added a notability tag, and also assisted the nominator with nominating this article for deletion. I'm also obviously in favor of - 500+ and counting, all waiting for experts to step in an fix 'em up ! - little well-referenced stubs.) Pete AU aka --Shirt58 (talk) 10:24, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm really not a subject matter expert here, but I'm not clearly seeing there is the potential for an article about the rumours to be more than a stub. In such cases I prefer sections rather than stubs, but this is a philosophical difference rather than something that can be hashed out in a single AfD! If there is to be a separate article though, then I'd much rather it have the simple title it presently has than anything more convoluted. My reasoning for this is that such an article will be the primary topic for the search term "Alfa Romeo 169" (unless something changes in the future, we can deal with that if it happens), and so such a title will be where people expect to find the article. It is the job of the article lead, not the title, to explain the subject (the title's job is simply to identify the subject recognisably and unambiguously). Thryduulf (talk) 10:36, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can assure you as someone reasonably experienced in this subject area, that keeping this article would be a bad idea and a terrible precedent. There has been speculation on and off for 40 years about a true E-Type successor (until the F-Type came out), with various concept cars and mockups being produced, and we don't have an article on that - which would be infinitely more notable than the 169 rumours.

This does not establish notability independent of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack through the inclusion of real world information from reliable, third party sources.

  • Delete all as not passing WP:GNG with multiple independent reliable in-depth sources. None of the sources in the articles are both about the subject and in-depth. Hardly any are reliable sources. There's mostly product pages, listings, appearances, generic info, but no critical commentary, no cultural impact besides appearances. The franchise is notable and suits are mentioned in relation to it, but notability is not inherited and the limited sourced information that isn't cruft or trivial appearances can be easily summarized in parent articles. This isn't even suitable for a list at this point without further sources. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 14:34, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep MSN-02 and 04. In the MSN-02 article, the #4, #6 and #24 sources are clearly independent sources, #7 is debatablely not in depth enough, but still independent.(Using http://web.archive.org/). In the MSN-04 article, #7 and #16 are independent, while #1, 2 and 4 are debatable. Reliable or not, do you seriously expect Scientific Journal class reliability? —Preceding signed comment added by MythSearchertalk 15:51, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Even if sources are reliable, it doesn't mean that their inclusion in the article counts as satisfying WP:N. They need to provide significant coverage for the topic, and that would be real world. non-primary info in this case. #4, #6, and #7 are nothing more than showing that it appears in something. #24 is a wiki, so I'm not sure how that is supposed to be reliable. #7 is used for in-universe information, and #16 is about official merchandise. #1, #2, and #4 are not debatable in any way from what I can tell. None of those provide development, reception, or cultural impact, so they don't help establish notability. TTN (talk) 16:07, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Echoing the above, sources have to be independent, reliable and in-depth at the same time, not so between them. Reviewing the ones mentioned more carefully, I agree with TTN, none of them pass WP:GNG mark. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 16:40, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Reply If there are many scholarly sources which discuss him this would establish notability, but where are they? Technically, he was a prince not a monarch. Geoffrey's History is not widely read nowadays, although it was culturally significant because of its influence on the development of the Arthurian legend. PatGallacher (talk) 22:15, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • How is this source (162–167)? (One source I found on Google Books refers to Nennius as a "co-king", but the book is by an amateur historian.) See also this old source (in the first footnote) which also discusses Geoffrey of Monmouth's invention of Nennius. (Not to be confused with Nennius the historian, referred to several times on that page.) הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 00:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete -- The problem is that Geoffrey of Monmouth's work is largely not history that can be verified from any other historical source. It is much closer to being a work of fiction than of history or even of legend. It might be possible to merge this and other kings in Geoffrey's work into a single legendary kings of Britain; indeed we may have such an article, but articles on individual kings should not be allowed, because it is impossible to say anithing of them except to quote Geoffrey. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:19, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Peterkingiron: I don't think deletion is an option for a purportedly historical figure mentioned in what was once considered a reliable work. A merge would do, though a list of legendary kings is too general, I think; perhaps to one of his (less fictional) brothers' articles? הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 19:17, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • It is a very time since anyone regarded Geoffrey of Monmouth as history. Some kind of summary of what he says might be legitimate. However, we cannot have a proper biography of a person on whom there is a single source, and one that is generally regarded as non-historic. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:46, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • But Nennius has been discussed from a modern aspect, as a fictional creation by Geoffrey of Monmouth: see the links I gave above. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 19:59, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was keep. The nomination has been countered by sources presented in the discussion, and consensus is that the topic has received enough coverage to qualify (albeit perhaps weakly) for a standalone article. The speedy delete !vote by User:I feel like a tourist does not contain a valid rationale for deletion per the criteria at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, and topic notability is not based solely upon album releases or lack of them. The delete !vote by User:Hoof Hearted is not policy- or guideline-based. (Non-administrator closure.) Northamerica1000(talk) 23:38, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable insult. It is a coupling of the generic insult sale, with flamand which is indeed a Congolese term for whites but does not need this epithet. Of the refs, only two of the sources cited actually refers to the term "sale flamand" - once in a possibly over-sensationalist article about it as a "new swearword" among schoolchildren in 2007; the other to an isolated act of graffiti. The others two sources refer to the use of the term "Flamand" by Congolese people. This certainly doesn't seem to meet the criteria for WP:Notability (particularly "significant coverage") and it seems unnecessary to maintain a full article on this topic. I notice similar articles, such as "Dirty Jew", simply redirect to another page on the prejudice in question. Brigade Piron (talk) 17:19, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. She has had some attention for her career, in particular for replacing the iconic Dolores Erickson as the cover girl on the 2006 remix/reissue of Whipped Cream & Other Delights: The New Yorker [45]; The Wall Street Journal [46]; Honolulu Star Bulletin [47]; etc. Otherwise, the bulk of the sources turned up in a Google search relate to a bizarre 2010 incident in which she was the object, and a victim, of an identity theft scam. That incident doesn't directly contribute to her notability, of course. One of the many news reports about this, in the Los Angeles Times, describes her as "a successful model and aspiring actress" and a "minor celebrity", and makes this comment about the actual but limited nature of her notability: "Men could verify that she was a working model and keep track of her photo shoots and acting gigs online, but she wasn't so famous that tabloids might write about who she was actually dating."[48] --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:16, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
