Mario Ferri[edit]

Mario Ferri (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)

Recreation of an article, previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mario F. Ferri, about a city councillor in a city not large enough to confer notability on its city councillors under WP:POLITICIAN. Does not qualify for speedy deletion as a G4, as both the content and the sourcing have been expanded significantly — however, the sourcing relies extremely highly on local community weeklies which do not pass our reliable sourcing rules due to insufficiently wide distribution (the number of footnotes here would be more than halved if I stripped all of those), and this version still doesn't actually resolve the basic notability problem since he's still just a city councillor in a non-metropolitan suburban city. The long-ago consensus to redirect all of Vaughan's city councillors to Vaughan City Council on notability grounds still holds true, and this latest iteration of the article still does not actually demonstrate that he's somehow attained more notability than any of the others. In addition, it warrants mention that this version was created by the same person who persistently argued in the previous discussion that the deletion nomination was motivated by ideological dislike of Ferri as an individual, rather than by the neutral reading of Wikipedia's inclusion rules that it actually was — to be perfectly honest, I actually suspect an outright conflict of interest by a member of Ferri's own campaign staff here, although I cannot definitively prove that. Redirect, yet again, to Vaughan City Council and salt the earth. Bearcat (talk) 21:51, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - You probably wasn't aware of it, but you can view a longish discussion at [1], but this was reviewed by DGG (the early version only), EdJohnston and myself, who reviewed it before it was moved into main space, so this isn't a bad faith "recreation" and certainly wasn't a disruptive one. As for notability, there isn't any singular event that necessarily pops but his overall work as an activist is fairly well documented (and sourced) and the totality of it seems to pass WP:GNG. As for salting, the fact that he approached me as someone who participated in the previous AFD, and others were involved with assisting him, and didn't move it into mainspace until it was clear that others thought it was possibly notable, just shows salting would be overkill. Dennis Brown |  | WER 00:07, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Dennis pinged me since I had previously given an opinion on the question of a new article. In my view the previous version was validly deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mario F. Ferri but the article is now changed enough to be worth keeping. Ferri's notability is primarily due to his work on the Keele Valley Landfill controversy, an environmental issue that unquestionably deserves coverage. In my opinion the article is still a bit fluffy and it might be shortened to focus on the landfill issue. His being an elected councillor and a Deputy Mayor of Vaughan are interesting enough to mention though they wouldn't justify an article on their own. Most of the lead is fine but only the last sentence of the lead is starting to shade off into less important material. His service as a guest lecturer doesn't need mention in the article, unless one of his speeches is widely quoted or syndicated. Administering community recreational facilities is less important and is not in the same league as being a community organizer. There appear to be too many references and they could be pruned. EdJohnston (talk) 01:40, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment As the article creator was not notified of this discussion, I have taken it upon myself to notify him. Dennis Brown |  | WER 01:47, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Bearcat, a little decorum may be in order as the conflict of interest dis is, imho, out of order. I've also edited articles on other politicos such as Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps but have yet to receive an Order of Canada medal. Hmmm. I did note however that you, Bearcat, yourself edited the Mario Ferri article twice as shown on these diffs here and here, prior to Ferri declaring himself a Liberal Party candidate, after which time his bio article was deleted, which is highly curious. If I previously thought your action might have been 'ideological' kindly forgive me, but perhaps you might explain those diffs: were they wrong in editing his article prior to his Liberal nomination, or was it wrong in having the article deleted afterwards? More importantly Mario Ferri is, again, imho, notable under WP:GNG for being a community activist as clearly discussed in the article's lede, and that's established by more than 25 articles sourced from major media, specifically the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, National Post and the Toronto Sun. There are at least 50 photos of him leading protests, victory celebrations or other community events among the articles (specifically 26 discrete photos of him at events, plus 25 'stock' photos the papers used for political stories). There were likely more photos of him as well as many text-only news articles were pulled out from electronic databases. Best: HarryZilber (talk) 03:13, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    You don't do yourself any favors by personalizing this. Please just comment on the merits of the discussion and avoid talking about other editors. In the end, the merits are the only things that the closer will consider and you hurt your case. Per DGG below, now would be a good time to go and clean up the article even more, removing the more minor things. That is the best use of your time. Dennis Brown |  | WER 11:59, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Points noted—I agree that the merits of the article are salient. Per the suggestions here the article has been trimmed and refined; the two quotes by Ferri have been removed and two sections have been combined. If there are other criticisms of Ferri in reliable sources I will also included them, please note them on my Talk page. HarryZilber (talk) 13:42, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete because of the promotionalism. Possible keep if and only if the tone is improved by radical deletion of the promotional and duplicative material. What I mean by the promotional term is the very large amount of self-serving quotes and inclusion of minor issues, the inclusion of detailed material on the landfill controversy that should rather be in the article on it (which is possibly but not certainly a general public issue justifying a separate article) , and in the use of adjectives of judgment and praise throughout. Such uncited material is wholly appropriate in a BLP. I regard the inclusion of such material as diagnostic of improper promotionalism, and as reasonably raising questions of COI, though certainly many well-meaning editors write this way here because they see so much of it here that they understandably but wrongly think it acceptable, and because so much of the rest of the world writes in that manner. (if the editor has been writing on other politicians, they should now recheck them for similar problems) I don't think Bearcat was wrong to raise the question, tho I would have just hinted at it because I think it would be obvious in any event.
When my opinion was asked on Dennis Brown's talk p., I said that I personally would probably !vote for deletion, but that it ought to have another chance at AfD. I know myself more deletionist than average about local people and events, but in giving advice, I say what I think the community is likely to do, not what I think it ought to do. In doubtful cases, the community should be asked directly, as it is being very properly asked here.
Harryzilber, I see no indication at all of what you seem to charge about Bearcat: such gross bias (as distinct from more subtle usually unconscious influences) is very rare here. Almost everyone here will make routine fixes on an article when we see them without necessarily judging it for inclusion on WP, and that's what seems to have happened here. Further, I and many of us will try fixing an article, sometimes making multiple non-trivial edits, before finally deciding we can not fix it enough, and then nominate it for deletion. And, additionally, people change their mind-- sometimes making snap judgements that they come to think better of. And , finally, the best of us make a few percent of plain errors, and a larger number of omissions, and I hope we all of us have the grace to correct them when we realize. Ideally, Bearcat should have noticed Dennis in the edit history and checked, but I too will often look primarily at the article as it stands, without checking every earlier version. His only real error, as I see it, was in not notifying the editor. The only way we will ever prevent such errors is to do it by bot. DGG ( talk ) 06:10, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article is a reasonably written description of Ferri that also includes criticisms, specifically: "...for a perceived conflict of interest related to the use of a community centre building where he met with constituents to consult on community issues and his nomination to regional council,[71] as well as his participation in a Santafest parade float on the eve of an election.[72]" The latter article referenced was written partly in jest using phrasings such as "Cries of Humbug Over Santa Parade" and "Ferri, co-chair and founder of the local Santafest Committee, is being roasted like a chestnut". Both articles are sourced from the Toronto Star, Canada's largest circulation newspaper. Ferri's role as an activist who took on a provincial government over 14 years to correct a significant source of watershed pollution that would feed into Lake Ontario (where dozens of cities, both Canadian and U.S. draw their drinking water) was noted on national media and qualifies him under GNG; that he also became a politician does not detract his notability or disqualify him from Wikipedia. Its also worth pointing out that the premise for deleting the Ferri article due to him being 'a Vaughan councillor' was incorrect. As noted earlier Ferri was also deputy mayor for Vaughan who led both council and the city when the mayor was absent (including one city hall session that became so rowdy that he called in the police). Attempting to delete an article for a person being a local councillor while disregarding his role as deputy mayor has the appearance of being unbalanced. HarryZilber (talk) 12:00, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Being the deputy mayor doesn't get a person any closer to passing our inclusion rules than any other city councillor — in most cities it's not a role that one person holds permanently, but rather a role that rotates among all city councillors at different times during a council term (and would thus completely nullify our inclusion standards for city councillors). And in all cities it's little more than a courtesy title which only means he chairs the meeting if the mayor's away and gets first crack at stepping up to the plate if the mayor dies or resigns, and confers virtually no special authority of any kind. A deputy mayor, for example, has exactly no authority to start implementing his own political agenda, different from that of the mayor, just because he's chairing a meeting or two. Bearcat (talk) 17:11, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The claims that Ferri, as Deputy Mayor of a medium size city has "no authority to start implementing his own political agenda" and that "in most cities [the Deputy Mayor] it's not a role that one person holds permanently, but rather a role that rotates among all city councillors" are disingenuous at best. Vaughan's Mayor himself is the nominal head of council with only one vote of nine on issues that are decided by vote, meaning anything of importance. The Mayor thus has no more independent authority to implement his own political agenda and must negotiate with the others on council to achieve his/her goals, just as is the case with the Deputy Mayor. Since the Deputy Mayor of Vaughan is NOT a rotating position, but is elected by the Regional Councillor receiving the greatest number of votes (described in the article which you apparently missed), Ferri was elected to his position as Deputy Mayor. Since he was elected to his position as deputy mayor and as he was effectively 'a heartbeat away' from being mayor of the medium-size city, which all other councillors knew when dealing with him, he merits more respect and consideration for inclusion under WP:NOTABILITY than an ordinary councillor, wholly aside from his WP:GNG notability as a community activist/organizer. HarryZilber (talk) 18:26, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, a person does not merit special notability consideration just for being a deputy mayor. If the city they were deputy mayor of is not one whose city councillors are considered notable just for being city councillors, then the deputy mayor does not get any special status above any of the others. And the fact that different cities choose their deputy mayors in different ways — some cities directly elect them, some just automatically accord the title to whichever councillor happened to achieve a particular distinction (such as the highest vote total among councillors), some give the mayor the power to choose the deputy of his choice, and some rotate the position so that everybody on council gets to hold the title for a specific length of time — does not change anything either, so the fact that Vaughan chooses its deputy mayor differently than Toronto or North Bay or Sudbury do does not make "deputy mayor" a more notable title in Vaughan than it is anywhere else. Bearcat (talk) 21:06, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Ferri is notable under GNG's "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". Arguing that his news articles in national press media don't qualify because.... seems to be stretching it. Your interpretation of "significant coverage" differs greatly from WP:N which says: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." Every single news article in Mario Ferri addresses him and his work directly, either for the complete article, or major parts of it, or inserting paragraphs of material on him and quoting him directly. Most of the articles in the major newspapers were on his community activism and organizing, with 2 or 3 of them on his role as a councillor (besides 25 articles on his work in local/community papers). Nothing in "significant coverage" even mentions news media requiring national or international distribution.
As well, WP:Articles for deletion/Common outcomes states: "Municipal politicians are not inherently notable just for being in politics, but neither are they inherently non-notable just because they are in local politics. Each case is evaluated on its own individual merits."
As well, under WP:Notability for politicians, the criteria for notability describing non-1st and non-2nd tier government officials is:
2) Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage.[7]
3) Just being an elected local official, or an unelected candidate for political office, does not guarantee notability, although such people can still be notable if they meet the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article".
As well by your definition, these articles should be wiped out of Wikipedia:
Peter W. Heller (born 5 September 1957) ) is a former Deputy Mayor of the City of Freiburg im Breisgau/Germany, environmental scientist, and venture philanthropist... # Dardan Sejdiu is the current deputy Mayor of Pristina and Director in the Department for Economy and Local Development... (Pristina is in Kosovo by the way) # Justin Swandel is a City Councillor[1] and Deputy Mayor in Winnipeg, Manitoba.... # Sekesai Makwavarara is the former deputy mayor and acting mayor of Harare... # Tadeusz Trzmiel (born 1945) is the Polish politician who has been Deputy Mayor of Kraków... # Meron Benvenisti (Hebrew: מירון בנבנשתי‎, born 1934) is an Israeli political scientist who was Deputy Mayor of Jerusalem... # Richard Michael Barnes (born 1 December 1947[1]) is a British former [councillor in the London Borough of Hillingdon ], who was the Deputy Mayor of London from 2008 to 2012, and the Member of the London Assembly for Ealing and Hillingdon from 2000 to 2012.... # Ian Clement (born 1965 in Bexley),[1] was Deputy Mayor of London with responsibility for Government and External Relations... # Robert F. Wagner, Jr. (deputy mayor) (January 6, 1944 – November 15, 1993), also known as Robert (Bobby) Ferdinand Wagner III, was a noted New York City civic leader who served as the Deputy Mayor of the City of New York # David Hay was the Deputy Mayor of Auckland City Council (1991–1998, 2001–2004 and 2007-2010) for the Citizens & Ratepayers ticket... # Phil Davison is a former councilman and Deputy Mayor for the village of Minerva, Ohio... # Svenn Erik Kristiansen (born 30 May 1940) is a Norwegian teacher turned politician. He served as deputy mayor of Oslo... # Ian Duncan McKinnon CNZM QSO JP is a New Zealand educator and local politician, and is a former Deputy Mayor of Wellington... # Grant Haskin (born 1968) is the former Executive Deputy Mayor of Cape Town... # Saul Green is the former Deputy Mayor of Detroit, Michigan...
The above are only a fraction of the deputy mayors on Wikipedia, part of a very lengthy listing. I'm fairly open to accepting people's dediction to public office, and would keep most, if not all of them. Even the deputy mayors of Pristina or Minerva, Ohio. In summation, WP:N doesn't rule out deputy mayors, while Ferri's lengthy record and press as an activist and community organizer give him robust notability under WP:GNG.

  • Weak keep. For what it's worth, I deleted the prior version of this article per the consensus at that AfD, and this one is much improved. Also, the author did attempt to consult with me prior to the recreation of this article, but I'm not that terribly active these days, and didn't respond in a timely manner. My reasoning here is similar to DGG's, I'm just more willing to let the article exist in mainspace while the hoped for improvements take place. This article is crufty, and certainly has the feel of one maintained by editors close to the subject; but currently this is not so egregious that the article must be deleted. Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 13:30, 5 July 2014 (UTC
  • Keep The article is adequately referenced so that it does meet the qualifications of the notability of a politician in that it meets the primary notability criterion of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". Likewise, the article does provide insight into the turbulent nature of politics in Canada's largest city and environs (the GTA is more than six million in population ranking it among the largest cities in North America), and for that reason, it is acceptable and even, timely, given the nature of Toronto's recent municipal squabbles and the notoriety of its chief magistrate. Although I can see the reasoning of earlier editors and the administrator who deleted the article, it does not seem to be an egregious or blatant attempt at advertising, which would have been a more serious issue to lead to its elimination. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 17:44, 5 July 2014 (UTC).[reply]
The GTA is not a city; it's a metropolitan area with several cities within it. There is no level of government anywhere below the provincial legislature which is inclusive of both Vaughan and Toronto, and this article offers no insight into anything involving Rob Ford. (If you want that, you're going to need to read stuff pertaining to Toronto City Council — neither Vaughan's nor Toronto's city councils have any authority at all over anything pertaining to the other city.)
In addition, it warrants mention that city councillors are not a class of topic for which some of them garner local media coverage and others don't; all city councillors in any given city garner coverage in local media, and thus all city councillors in any city could technically be said to pass WP:GNG on that basis. However, Wikipedia deprecates exclusively localized coverage, and exclusively localized claims of notability, as evidence that a person actually warrants permanent coverage in an international encyclopedia — we deprecate city councillors not because media coverage of them fails to exist, but because there's rarely any substantive reason why anybody who lives outside of that councillor's own city needs any information about them. Topics that don't have appeal or interest to a broad international readership are extremely vulnerable to BLP or NPOV violations, precisely because there aren't enough eyes on those articles to ensure that they remain compliant with our content policies — which is the key reason why city councillors have been deemed a topic that we normally don't want to maintain articles about. We simply don't have the human resources necessary to keep that many articles about people of exclusively local notability properly monitored and maintained.
If we did accept city councillors as notable, we'd literally have to accept thousands of low visibility — and thus extremely highly vulnerable to policy violation — articles about people who aren't really topics of genuinely encyclopedic interest. GNG wouldn't sort them out, because all city councillors, not just some of them, get covered by the local media (they just usually fail to garner coverage anywhere outside of their own local media market.) So the standard for city councillors has always been evidence that a national or international readership, not a handful of readers living in one single city, could credibly know or need to know about the person. (Joel Burns, for example, didn't get over the bar for being a city councillor — he got over the bar by releasing an online video which made him an international household name whose career started garnering international coverage.) And what I don't see here is any substantive or meaningful reason why Ferri is somehow of more encyclopedic interest than Sandra Yeung Racco or Alan Shefman or Gino Rosati, or any of the other city councillors in Vaughan who still don't qualify for articles because the city is not large enough to confer an automatic presumption of notability on its city councillors. Nothing here lifts him above the normal level of notability for a city councillor — he hasn't done more than any of the others have, he hasn't garnered more coverage than any of the others did, and he hasn't become any better known outside Vaughan than any of the others are. There's simply nothing here that makes him more relevant in an international encyclopedia than his other colleagues are. Bearcat (talk) 19:49, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Where you wrote that "[Ferri] hasn't garnered more coverage than any of the others did, and he hasn't become any better known outside Vaughan than any of the others are", you keep avoiding the 36 odd articles and the 25 odd photos of him in major newspapers (Toronto Star, National Post, Globe and Mail, Toronto Sun) that discuss Ferri's work as a community activist and organizer, as well as some other odd articles in those newspapers that discuss his political work. Its apparent to me in your nomination at top and your other posts above and below that you cherry pick your points to try to keep moving the goalposts on what constitutes "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". As well, since the Vaughan Weekly (paid circ. 52,000 in the early 90's) is on microfilm with Library and Archives Canada, your position that its only a "local community" paper can't be supported, imho.
But aside from Ferri's work as a Regional (not local) Councillor and Deputy Mayor of a medium sized city (which you dismiss out of hand), he is more notable for leading the fight to close Canada's largest waste dump. He was consistently in the national media during the '90s up to 2003 for his work helping to close the Keele Valley Landfill for good reason: had the 20-story high dump continued in operation its leachates would have led to gross contamination of Lake Ontario's drinking water since the landfill is situated on top of an Area of High Aquifer Vulnerability (as imposed by Ontario Government regulation in 2002). Ferri's work closing North America's third largest waste dump was duly noted, with one article stating directly "Ferri made it happen". That's something that Sandra Yeung Racco, Alan Shefman and Gino Rosati , the councillors you refer to above, never did. HarryZilber (talk) 03:10, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not "avoiding" anything or moving any goalposts — I could easily find 36 articles about Sandra Yeung Racco in the exact same newspapers; I could easily find 36 articles about Alan Shefman in the exact same newspapers; and I could easily find 36 articles about Gino Rosati in the exact same newspapers. They all garner comparable levels of coverage to each other, and Ferri has not garnered a special level of coverage beyond any of the others.
I could easily find at least 36 articles about each and every individual city councillor in the entire province of Ontario, in fact — any city councillor who's doing their job at all will turn up in at least 36 articles per year in their local newspaper, let alone over the course of their entire career. So 36 articles is not an impressive or unusual level of coverage for a city councillor; it's par for the course. There is no such thing as a city councillor who doesn't get covered by local media; there are only city councillors who don't get covered outside their local media — and that group includes the vast majority of city councillors in the vast majority of cities, which is the reason why the vast majority of city councillors in the vast majority of cities are not notable for our purposes. And a Vaughan city councillor getting into the Toronto Star (or the National Post and the G&M's local Toronto sections, which are not distributed anywhere outside the GTA) doesn't improve the case, because Vaughan is part of those newspapers' local coverage area — it does not represent "national" coverage the way coverage of a city councillor from Calgary in the same papers would, because they're part of Vaughan's local media landscape. The amount of coverage you've cited simply does not demonstrate that a city councillor in Vaughan has received enough coverage to override a consensus against the notability of city councillors in cities the size of Vaughan and claim "national" significance, because they are not non-local coverage. Bearcat (talk) 03:53, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
News articles on Sandra Yeung Racco, Alan Shefman and Gino Rosati were likely NOT written for community activism and leading demonstrations (such as hundreds in front of the province's Premier's home), or for shutting down a toxic waste dump, the third largest in North America—which is still producing an ever expanding underground plume of carcinogens and other lethal ingredients, as listed on Keele Valley Landfill's article, and are well documented, still spreading and could in the future still threaten Lake Ontario's drinking water, used by dozens of cities in Canada and the U.S.
The article's 25 or so discrete photos of Ferri organizing, leading protests, victory celebrations, etc... reinforce the point that the 36 national media articles listed (and more than a dozen others that weren't added to the article due to being overkill) were news stories of importance receiving widespread distribution.
All of the articles in national media include page numbers (some of the regional/local news articles do not). Of the national media articles currently referenced I can identify only 7 of them that appear to be printed in a local news edition, i.e.: listed as pages "14EAST", "7E", "SC3", "N5", "NY2", "NY3" and "NY2". The remaining news articles from the major print media are distributed as follows:
  • The Toronto Star, Canada's largest circulation paper, is distributed widely across the entire province (current population ~ 13 million), with its stories being picked up and forwarded to other news chains by the Canadian Press and Associated Press. As well the Toronto Star owns and reruns articles in its Hamilton Spectator, the Kitchener-Waterloo Record (now named the Waterloo Region Record), the Guelph Mercury (all of which are daily papers), plus the Metroland Media Group which publishes over 100 community/local newspapers using six printing plants across the province.
  • The Globe and Mail is Canada's major newspaper of record, formerly with several editions across the country and widely noted by other news redistributors.
  • The Toronto Sun and the National Post both belong to national chains and have their stories redistributed. AS WELL, the Toronto Sun, part of Québecor Média which operates Sun TV, which has long produced video reports for its associated TV network and website, and which reported on the Keel Valley Landfill with Ferri being interviewed for a video news report on site, shown here at top, published along with their article "Toronto's Old Dump Slated for Parkland", in 2011 WHEN HE WAS NOT A POLITICIAN. Their published news on their website is not only viewed nation-wide, but international. HarryZilber (talk) 17:11, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of references amply support Ferri's work as a community organizer and activist making the article conform to Wikipedia's GNG requirements. Even discounting his 25 "stock" photos in both national media/local papers and the approximate 25 news articles that were published in local/community papers (many on microfilm with Library and Archives Canada) and the articles printed on his work as the Deputy Mayor of a medium sized city, you are still left with the salient fact that news stories on him and his work received widespread distribution and that he qualifies handily under GNG. HarryZilber (talk) 14:47, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Further comment: The local community newspapers the deletion nominator refers to at the very top are not ‘coupon clipper’ papers as might be inferred. They do in fact meet the requirements of "reliable sourcing" at Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources by reason that none have a "poor reputation for checking the facts, or with no editorial oversight". Wikipedia's requirements for reliable sourcing make no mention of "insufficiently wide distribution"; although common sense dictates that a home-printed paper mailed out with a circulation of 300 might scrimp on fact-checking, the circulations of these local newspapers ranged from 23,000 up to 52,000, which is hardly dismissible, with most being paid-circulation papers during the 1990s. Also note that none of them are listed as problem children on Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. The smallest newspaper referenced (for a single article) appears to be Vaughan Marketplace, which actually had a well written piece. All of the local newspapers reported on their subjects factually with no evidence of bias, and their journalism was substantial the same as for most regional newspapers found in medium-sized cities, with a number of them including the bylines of their writers. All of these newspaper articles were "hard news" pieces, i.e. non-opinion articles. Three of them were published in the Vaughan Citizen, which is a subsidiary of the Toronto Star. Most of these local newspapers are also listed on, and some are available on microfilm, at Library and Archives Canada , a Federal agency headquartered in Ottawa.
Even discounting the 32 articles obtained from local newspapers, the deletion nominator has failed to explain why the 36 articles from reliable source major newspapers (Toronto Star, National Post, Globe and Mail, Toronto Sun) fail to meet the requirements for WP:GNG or WP:POLITICIAN, i.e. why these articles, which included some 25 discrete photos of Ferri, are not "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article". Further, almost all of these articles were reporting on Ferri's community activism and organizing, with perhaps 3 of them related to his work as a politician. How does that not qualify him under WP:GNG? HarryZilber (talk) 15:58, 6 July 2014 (UTC) [Note: several newspaper references have been pruned from the Ferri article, reducing the figures noted in this paragraph HarryZilber (talk) 17:29, 6 July 2014 (UTC) ][reply]
I did not say that community weeklies are considered less trustworthy than major dailies. However, because they are less widely-distributed than major dailies, and give much more extensive coverage to people and topics of exclusively local interest, coverage in community weeklies does not constitute proof that a person has attained sufficient notability to warrant an article in an encyclopedia with an international audience. Bearcat (talk) 19:26, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article has been tagged with questionable notability for about one year. I think it's about time we figure it out. Also, BLP says to remove unsourced material, whether it is positive or negative and most of the article is unsourced.

  • Keep Why is this school deemed not notable when others are included in Wikipedia? Either all primary schools in Essex are permissible on Wikipedia or none are.

There is no requirement that editors participating here have an "apparent link with the area." In fact, it can cut the other way, if the link with the topic is one that presents a conflict of interest. If the article is redirected, then appropriate content can be created by you or others at the target article. Epeefleche (talk) 20:03, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Merge (not just redirect) with Farnham, Essex. The school has had a high-profile local news campaign recently to have it closed with pupils moving to Stansted, well documented in The Herts-Essex Observer. However, that in itself is not really enough to have a standalone article. For an example of a primary school of similar age that we would keep, see Ashdown House, East Sussex who has a very well known former pupil. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:41, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it is a case of voting, rather than determining policy, then it would be easy to pack this with parents voting. A curious way to run an encyclopaedia! I'm happy with whatever is policy as I don't own Wikipedia I only occasionally edit the significant amount of information that appears wrong on subjects I know about. This is the first time I have registered an account and it's a mystery to me. If people vote or it is policy to discard this article, then I am happy with putting the information in the article for the village. However, I would ask for it to be retained somewhere so that it is not all lost and I don't have to waste time. Thanks.--Deltaniger (talk) 15:39, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or redirect. This 28-student school of children ages 4-11 is NN, per the above discussion. Merge is not appropriate -- because it is not appropriate to merge material that is both uncited and challenged (as here). But if redirect is the result, editors can create appropriate material at the target. Epeefleche (talk) 17:27, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What material in the article is not cited or challenged? There are links to sources. You may not find it interesting, but the school is notable in the community in which it is situated - indeed, apart from the church it is the last remaining institution in a rural community - and there was a lot of press and radio coverage over the proposal to move it to another community. This is all sourced. But if you have a problem with content, this should be discussed within the article rather than a reason to delete it.--Deltaniger (talk) 20:31, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The article IMHO is NN, per our notability standards, and the comments of the others suggesting that it is not notable are in accord with mine, and I've pointed you to other similar AfDs and Outcomes w/regard to how we address such schools typically, all of which accords with the conclusion that there should not be a stand-alone article for this 28-student school of children ages 4-11. Again, if there were appropriate mention of the school at a target article, as some have suggested, to which this school were redirected, I would not have a problem with that. Please spend some time reading the diffs Wikipedia:SCHOOLOUTCOMES and the past primary school AfDs here (focusing on the ones from recent years) to understand why most editors who have !voted on this page who are seasoned editors have not !voted to keep this as a standalone article. Epeefleche (talk) 20:39, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I understand what you say about your notability standards, although I don't understand much of your jargon. But what is your objection about having this content in the Farnham page? You said "it is not appropriate to merge material that is both uncited and challenged" and although no-one has said the material itself is not cited or challenged, you appear to want all mention of this school removed even from the article on the community itself. Or perhaps I misunderstood you.--Deltaniger (talk) 21:31, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm happy to provide links to any jargon that is unfamiliar or explain it. Much you can glean by double-clicking the blue links in what I wrote, and what others wrote. I'm fine with the article being redirected to the Farnham page (an alternative to only deleting it, without a redirect). If that happens, you can create any appropriate material at that page (I would suggest using RS refs to support text, if any). You and other editors can discuss at that page what is appropriate, if that is an issue. As I read the comments at this point in time, though the closer of this AfD may have a different view, the consensus is not to keep this as a stand-alone article. But there are five editors who view a redirect as either the appropriate outcome, or an appropriate outcome, which seems to reasonable be a consensus view. Epeefleche (talk) 23:24, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Consensus" is, as I understand it, unanimity. There is not a consensus, but a majority opinion since I dissent from the rest. What are "RS refs" and "diffs"? What is the difference between "merge" and "redirect and adding appropriate material"?--Deltaniger (talk) 07:20, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Consensus does not mean unanimity, at least on Wikipedia. It is more an informed majority view, giving little weight to those who do not back up their vote with evidence based on policy, i.e. those who want to keep a page because it reflects their particular interests.Charles (talk) 08:51, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be too soon for an article at this time, as the only information made available so far about this subject comes from this press release and this FreshTV blog entry —both primary sources. The article also cites various LinkedIn profiles, which do not contribute strongly to notability. The press release only makes a rather small mention of the subject, and does not provide much more encyclopedic information. Ultimately, the bottom line is that as of now there are no reliable sources that discuss this subject, and by policy: no reliable third-party sources = no notability.

The issue in question for me is neither the existence of the subject nor the quality of the article; it is the notability of the subject. Notability generally depends on the availability of third-party reliable sources about the subject. Although I am pretty sure this subject will become notable in the future, right now it is just too soon, and this coverage from reliable sources doesn't exist yet. When the time comes and more information about the subject becomes known, I would be more than happy to support recreating the article. Sadly, Wikipedia does see some fake subjects every now and then that do lurk for a few weeks before they are discovered. If an article itself is a hoax, it should be deleted immediately per WP:CSD#G3, but it's a matter of how long it takes for someone to notice the error and take action to correct it.

  • Comment. Usually when a band has members from other bands that have articles here then a merge is worth considering, but here the other bands (from the sources in those articles at least) are not convincingly notable. Both The Sins of They Beloved and Midnattsol, with two and three albums on Napalm Records respectively, might squeak in, so maybe a merge to the former would be appropriate given that two members are from that band. Finding sources for bands in this genre can be difficult as print coverage that exists can often not be found on the web, but in the case of Savn, the existing coverage appears to be pretty well documented on their website (here) and there doesn't look to be much from reliable sources. --Michig (talk) 05:54, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

'On the Africa wikia' - there is such a thing ? We (myself South Africa) and Kenya mainly use the en wikipedia. There is a swahili wikipedia, but the language of business and government in Kenya is English. To return to topic, it could be construed as an attack page, but the subject is notable.

Maybe they meant the Afrikaans Wikipedia, but why that would cover Kenyans more than other wikipedias, I am not sure.

This article is poorly written, has only a few references and is simply redundant and should be deleted and its content be moved and integrated into Armenian_American#California.

Los Angeles is home to many other ethnic communities and none of them have separate articles about their history in the city. I don't see why Armenians should be an exception. A number of ethnic groups in the US have large communities is many cities should we create articles on each one? Երևանցի talk 17:28, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are eight other articles for ethnic groups in Los Angeles. There are similar articles written for ethnic groups in New York City, Chicago, Baltimore, Omaha, and many other cities.

If you prefer quantity over quality then let it be. Just a little suggestion from me to you (which you can ignore), creating articles for the sake of creating articles is not what makes Wikipedia better. --Երևանցի talk 02:37, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't ignore suggestions. I respond to them and address them. Let's take a look:
  • 1. It is absolutely possible to have a quality article on this topic. You can make a quality article with enough sources: two academic studies and numerous Los Angeles Times and other newspaper articles.
  • 2. The mistaken belief that "this-and-this topic is not worthy of Wikipedia" has caused many Wikipedians to get frustrated and quit. I don't want to see that happen, and for their sake I establish articles like this and fight for their survival. I will be dead someday, and I want people to succeed me as editors, so I want to encourage as many potential Wikipedians to join as I can, and I do it by starting articles on new subjects so people know there is still work to do.
  • 3. The public wants Wikipedia to be a vast, comprehensive resource and Wikipedia's raison d'etre, no, it's selling point is that it can be more vast and cover more things than a traditional encyclopedia.
  • 4. Local information encouraged people to join Wikipedia. People care about their communities and their local lifestyles and culture. For that reason, I establish articles like this to encourage people to join.
It is important to also bolster existing articles and add quality; that can be done after articles are established. But this can be done without preventing people from starting articles on new topics. And in order to convince people to add to the quality of existing articles, you must let them write about what they want so they can be established on Wikipedia; that often means a brand new article on a new subject. In other words: if you want quality you must bring in quantities of topics to encourage people to join and contribute. Thank you.

It is also possible to create articles on almost every item on Earth. The way you're copy-pasting info into this article is unbelievable, considering that you're an admin and you've been here for 10 years. No wonder why most articles are low quality. Good luck to you in making quality articles. --Երևանցի talk 20:26, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
1. What do you mean by "The way you're copy-pasting info into this article is unbelievable"? Explain?
  • I did import this block of text from Armenian American and this was attributed in the "Notes" section
  • I posted a mention of the genocide memorial, but this did not use the same text as in Armenian American - it just says it exists. This article was actually written independently of Armenian American. If you wish I can try to find a way to automatically compare the texts of both articles and show you this.
2. "It is also possible to create articles on almost every item on Earth." - In the cases of all of the article ideas that are possible, this is a good thing. You want to do this. You want to encourage this.

  • Merge/redirect to Bat-Kohen. The term is used to describe female Aaronites and the term Bat-Kohen is used to describe the daughters of Kohens/Aaronites. Since the term Aaronite was used to describe the priestly tribe in general (Kohen), this would be a reasonable redirect to Bat-Kohen. However we would have to have a specific section to show how the term "daughter of Aaron" is used in the New Testament, as the usage is somewhat slightly different. This is probably because the Gospel of Luke (one area where the term was used) is believed to have been written by a Gentile or a Hellenized Jew writing to Gentiles in general, as you don't see a lot of specifically Jewish terms used in the book. (That's grossly oversimplifying things.) Bat-Kohens are considered to be daughters of Aaron, but not all DoA are specifically daughters of priests, so we'd need to be able to clarify this somewhat. Long story short, we can merge this into the main article for Bat-Kohen since that'd be most appropriate, but it'd be a good idea to create a sub section as to how the term is used in the New Testament. I'll try to find more, but if anyone can find enough sources to merit its own article, it'd probably be easier to have the pages separate and then make a mention on both pages.

    • Hi Tokyogirl79, there is no reason for the merge, each article can work in its own religious sphere, with that end in mind I have placed WP:HATNOTES at the top of each article explaining [6] [7] how each notion works in the two different religions of Judaism and Christianity. It is usually not a good idea to run to mix Christian New Testament notions into Judaism-related articles, and vice versa, otherwise every article about Christianity becomes mixed up with Judaism that could become a cross-referencing nightmare that in the end looks like one huge violation of WP:NOR. Thanks for your understanding, IZAK (talk) 00:32, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect (but do not merge) to Bat-Kohen: per Tokyogirl, though I disagree for merging. After Tokyogirl's cleanup, there really is nothing left to merge; the use of "daughter of Aaron" (or, more correctly, and as it actually appears in the sources: "of the daughters of Aaron") in the New Testament is not remarkable; it is the female version of one of the standard Biblical names for a Kohen: "of the sons of Aaron"—unless someone can show that, in Christian sources, there is some special significance in this epithet being given for John the Baptist's mother. הסרפד (call me Hasirpad) 17:13, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge/redirect to Bat-Kohen There may be some content worth merging, but there seems little difference between the purpose of the two articles and the merge into Bat-Kohen will provide greater context. Alansohn (talk) 18:50, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and Oppose merge or redirect Bat-Kohen is a old-testament term, while Daughter of Aharon is a new-testament term. These two should not be merged. This is more fit for WikiDictionary, but as an article should simply be deleted. Debresser (talk) 19:15, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't think anyone is advocating it being deleted because they don't like it. On my end it's just that there aren't a whole lot of sources to show any in-depth coverage of the term apart from how the term "Aaronite" is used. Its usage in the NT is somewhat different and we'd need to have more than just the two current sources to really show a depth of coverage of the term. Most of what I found was along the lines of the typical worship website that we can't use as a RS- a common problem with terminology of any religion. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:05, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi Tokyogirl79, so let me understand what you are saying, that since this stub lacks more information at this time (even though it does have good enough refs), you think it should be dumped into an article that is part of another religion and is used quite differently in that religion? What kind of "solution" is that? Why pick on this term that is after all used in Christianity, and why the rush after it's been around so long to shove it into an article relating to Judaism, isn't that intellectually dishonest, unencyclopedic, and a cop-out as well as veering into violating WP:NOR? IZAK (talk) 09:36, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
IZAK, what do you mean by "keep as part of Christian theology"? You mean to merge it into that article? Debresser (talk) 15:17, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mostly it's just that I couldn't find a depth of coverage. I had to look pretty hard to find both of those sources and they're not exactly the most solid I could find. This source has it listed under Aaronites and this one is a fairly brief mention. Neither are very in-depth and could be considered as trivial in scope. We need more coverage in reliable sources before I could really say that this should be kept separate. If you can find it then I'd have no problem with keeping the article and having a hatnote at the top. It's just that we need to find at least something that focuses on the term specifically. It's not us picking on the term, just that we don't have a lot of coverage for it in places we could say was reliable. It's a shame and maybe due to the fact that so many scholars have been focused on a patriarchal perspective of Christianity for the longest time, but we can't help that at this point in time. Hopefully someone will make more RS about the term and/or hopefully there are RS out there that just haven't hit the Internet. Until we have those sources, there's not a whole lot we can do. And like Marcocapelle said, we do have articles that encompass terminology and topics that encompass multiple religions, especially since Christianity came out of Judaism.

  • Redirect per WP:CHEAP, or if needed, merge, to Bat-Kohen. I don't see how there is much diffeence, and we have a better article that is properly sourced already existing apart from this fork. I am somewhat familiar with Christian theology, and other than one passing reference in the Gospels, and another in the Protoevangelium of James, I don't see how any of this is relevant or material to anything else.

This musical does not appear to have acquired enough attention to have crossed the notability threshold. It appears to have won an award for Best Musical from the National Youth Theater group, but that group itself does not appear to be notable (it is a high school-oriented organization that gives out awards to high school-related productions of theater). It was only ever performed at a single theater in North Carolina for one season and not again afterwards. The other award was only a nomination, and from another group without notability of its own (I could not even determine who awards it, though it might be a local radio station), and nominations are not usually considered enough to qualify a subject for notability even for national awards by notable groups (unless there are lots of them). What I see, then, is a single production of a high school musical by a group in North Carolina-- a production that did not receive any wider attention by the media during or since it first took place, and for which there does not appear to have been any significant coverage. For this reason I propose it be deleted as having failed to meet WP:GNG and WP:EVENT. KDS4444Talk 02:09, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also note that although the play's author, Joan Cushing, appears to have a blue link in the article and is therefore herself a notable person in her own right, the link simply goes to the article on "playwright", not an article on Ms. Cushing (who does not actually appear to be a notable person). This makes me deeply suspicious of the article's authorship: the person who wrote the piece clearly knew how to use blue links and clearly used this one to disguise the lack of notability of the playwright, all of which adds to this article's notability fail. KDS4444Talk 02:16, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And finally, the article's original author, Sprintsketch, is a single purpose account used for nothing other than the creation of this article, and by someone who was him- or herself an experienced editor. To me, this strongly suggests that someone was paid to write the piece, not because the subject of the article was at all notable. KDS4444Talk 02:27, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lacks notability. The only source given in the article is a self-published (by the writer, not by the museum) book from 1984. Looking for other sources, I can't find any reliable sources giving any significant attention to this museum, only some routine listings of events at the museum, and mentions from less reliable sources (fora, blogs, personal websites, ...) Fram (talk) 09:42, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP - The Serbian American Museum St. Sava is a notable organization. The Serbian American Museum St. Sava is recognized as an ethnic community organization by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs [1], http://www.thechicagocouncil.org/files/Global_Chicago/Ethnic_Community_Organizations/files/Global_Chicago/Ethnic_Community_Organizations.aspx?hkey=050c9204-e774-4be0-a0a4-f7f1ea542028

    • As far as I can tell, it has only become a museum a few years ago, before that it was a club / meeting place / cultural centrum. So it is not a 60+ year old museum (which in itself is not a claim to notability either). Fram (talk) 21:05, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, because I researched it a bit more, we now know that they changed the name to "museum" fairly recently (though it's unclear if this means they started exhibitions at that time or earlier). However, even without the museum aspect, it still appears that they have been a major cultural force in the international Serbian diaspora for 60 years - their newspaper is widely cited, and clearly more research is needed. Apparently they have/had chapters of the organization as far away as Australia, and this international political aspect is somewhat parallel to the Serbian National Defense Council (though this group appears to be more moderate politically).--Pharos (talk) 16:12, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • Looking into this even more, it appears we should probably have a separate article on the Serbian Cultural Club, which seems to have been founded in Serbia just before WWII, had a major political role there, relocated to Chicago as a diaspora base after the war (with branches worldwide), and whose Chicago mother chapter has now evolved more or less into a nonpolitical museum.--Pharos (talk) 16:32, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - whether this is to be kept or not, I am not sure. However, we need to clarify that this a primarily a cultural center, not a museum, in the sense I think most of our readers would think. It could be notable - the Chicago area has a large Southern Slav population, as well as many fine museums and cultural centers of international repute. But so far, I have not read much to convince me either way. A reference to a local consortium of cultural centers does not give me a lot of respect for this institution. An organization needs to show that it has been covered by multiple sources of independent media, or have won recognition from national or state agencies, such as landmark status, to be notable. Userfication would be appropriate here. Bearian (talk) 17:08, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it would be best to move it to Serbian Cultural Club St. Sava, as this was apparently for many years a worldwide diaspora movement based in Chicago, and would be the primary source of notability. And then perhaps have the actual "museum" part as a subsection of this, as the latest evolution of what was once a more major organization.--Pharos (talk) 19:40, 26 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Delete: he's certainly published a lot of books and I've seen authors listed with a lot less.. however in those cases they have also been notable in some other way. Outside of the list of books, I can establish no notability. However, there are couple of points worth mentioning about this article. It appears to have been created by someone closely related to the subject (a COI), and there was extensive use of sockpuppets (all now banned). I believe the article was created as a promotional piece, but of course that does not necessarily mean the the subject is non-notable. Shritwod (talk) 18:41, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The author has published a lot of books, but the top 4 in terms of reported end-user holdings (i.e. popularity) are:

  • The Joy of Simple Living: Over 1,500 Simple Ways to Make Your Life Easy and Content-- At Home and At Work
  • The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Stress

  • Delete. Regarding the hubris of calling his one man consultancy an "institute"[16] and saying he is honored to be "the only person on Earth with this distinction" of registering "The Work-life Balance Expert®" as its trademark[17], I can only say that the conspicuous vanity of the article's subject does not necessarily mean the article is a pure vanity piece.

    Regarding his plethora of publications,[18] the chronology shows an evolution from writing advice about marketing to taking his own advice by marketing motivational materials. I would only remark that the chief skill and accomplishment of some motivationalists lies in motivating clients to purchase course materials; but this does not necessarily mean the article is purely promotional.

    That said, the article certainly looks like a purely promotional vanity piece, and I am unable to locate any reliably independent substative sources on Google that indicate he, his business, or his books and materials are notable. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:27, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete (Wikipedia is not a webhost and this page is not even an article). Much of the information is outright puffery; for example, the subject wrote a single article for The Practical Lawyer - to call him a columnist is akin to naming somebody as an op-ed journalist because they had one letter to the editor published once in the Daily News. The one really significant thing he's written is The Complete Idiot's Guide to Managing Your Time, which I shall grant you, is pretty good. However, any monkey could print out 65 books and 3000 articles, but that would not prove notability. I'd go along with userfication. Bearian (talk) 17:39, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This form of standalone lists does not contain any encyclopedic information. As the opening statement is referenced, that sole sentence could be incorporated in 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (without listing all the companies). Dirk Beetstra T C 10:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Article is supported by one source. That source itself says that it lists "pesticide products that contain 2,4-D, Carbaryl, Diazinon, Diuron, Malathion, Triclopyr BEE or Trifluralin" which are all different chemicals and the document doesn't say which chemical is in which product. Additionally, the "company" column is not "manufacturers" but rather is "Company/distributor name". So the source doesn't support the content. Finally, the EPA website doesn't make clear when this document was generated. If you click the "info" button on the EPA page (menu bar, blue "i" all the way to the right) you see that the EPA doesn't list a publication year. Couple things there make it look like it may be from 2000 but that info page also says it part of some pre-1976 index so it could be much older.

Self-published book that gained some limited exposure in popular press recently. Unfortunately, its description makes it out to be a purported medical/psychological condition....with questionnaires in popular press. Given it gets exactly zero hits in Google scholar, there are not any sources let alone secondary sources to support this. Hence it is misleading at best and detracts from the Sum of All Knowledge by its being here. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 10:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but some chopping is justifiable. The article as is links articles about the book in three different newspapers which meets GNG. (which closely resembles part 1 of the special guideline for books) I understand that someone with a COI may have tried to puff up the article and so some of the substandard sources may have to go. I understand that we should not portray it as making any accepted medical claim. But that's a matter for a few strategic distancings like "The author's thesis is...", not deletion. Wnt (talk) 12:39, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: I should admit that I missed that some of the media references in the article were actually not usable per GNG because they were just the author going on about herself; the article as it stood actually didn't stand the test. But there were articles like [22][23], which is why I hadn't expected the ones in the article to be so unusuable for notability. I think that the "syndrome" appears to be notable and worth documenting as a social and marketing phenomenon. Wnt (talk) 20:26, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reluctant keep. It's quackery. I have deleted a few inappropriate references. However the remaining four references are adequate to demonstrate nobility of the book and the concept—even though the "syndrome" does not exist. Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:59, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    I think that the merge is a good idea, but there shouldn't be any admin action involved for that. The page history should be left unmolested, and the page should not be protected against a future reversal of the merge if content about the "syndrome" becomes available from other authors. That could happen at any time, but probably won't. :) Wnt (talk) 20:12, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I have little doubt that a redirect from Rushing Woman's Syndrome to Libby Weaver would be part of any merge. The redirect page would contain the page history, so that should hopefully meet your concerns. --RexxS (talk) 23:17, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the article as it now stands (devoid of irrelevant refs) doesn't meet GNG: "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Its notability depends upon a single piece of reliable news coverage in the Australian and that is devoted to debunking the topic. I don't believe the Idealog blog is a reliable source to illustrate significant coverage - who heard of it? It's possible that the author, Libby Weaver, is notable from the sources that mention her - but her notability is not inherited by the book. --RexxS (talk) 19:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

List of reportedly haunted locations in the United States[edit]

The title is a big give-away "List of reportedly haunted....." I cannot yet find a single entry amongst the many hundreds that has a robust and reliable source. All entries seem to be based on blog sites that in turn report "beliefs". There is nothing here that makes the grade with regard to notability. There must be a few sites in the USA which have had national newpaper coverage that can be used or have been discussed in books, in which case there might be a list of a few tens of entries but even entries such as that seem to be missing. In the absence of notability, I would suggest the whole article should go.  Velella  Velella Talk   08:58, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Three references to .gov and four to .edu. Not sure if any of the books referenced are notable. Most of the references don't seem to qualify as reliable sources. Do the articles linked to on the list include information about them being reported haunted? Are more reliable sources found there? Dream Focus 09:07, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included in the Article Rescue Squadron's list of content for rescue consideration. Dream Focus 09:24, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The official websites of the places I looked at so far don't list their haunted history. You'd think if that was a major tourist attraction they'd cover that. Various television shows have covered some of these locations. Plenty of local newspaper coverage for things. I'm thinking there would be at least local coverage of anything on the list, proving it has in fact been reported haunted. Editors can determine if anything isn't notable enough to be on the list or not. The article can be fixed by proper editing methods, no need to delete. It seems to have been created by taking articles for each individual state, and just redirecting them all here, and copy and pasting their contents altogether. Dream Focus 09:24, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Googling site:*.gov "haunted" I find plenty of results, but it isn't just official government websites talking about haunted histories. Instead I find Halloween attractions like [24] [25] not based on anything actually reported to be haunted. So trouble finding things that way. Are there any books considered reliable sources listing all the reported haunted places in America? Dream Focus 09:32, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - but not notable as required by wikipedia. If I was to say that my house was haunted and sent a message to one of the sites used for many of the locations, my house would instantly become sufficiently notable, if we were to accept your view of notability. I am sorry , but that is just gossip, not notability.  Velella  Velella Talk   10:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Anything not sourced to a reliable source should be tagged "citation needed" and then if no one finds one should be eliminated. No need to destroy the entire list, simply to get rid of some bad entries that might be there. Dream Focus 13:18, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe an alternative would be to merge properly sourced entries back into List of reportedly haunted locations from which it was forked in June 2010.  Velella  Velella Talk   15:44, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep/Possible Merge - As others have said, the subject itself is notable, however, much of the listed content is not. What this really needs is a massive cleanup to take away the less-than-reputable claims and sources. If, when that is finished, the remainder of the properly sourced information isn't enough to sustain its own article, then a later discussion can potentially merge it back into List of reportedly haunted locations, as Velella suggested. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 16:40, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This theory is not notable. It is largely the work of one man, and it has been scarcely noticed outside of Germany. As has been discussed on the Talk page, there are very few reliable sources that have taken the time to refute this theory. This is despite the fact that it implies not just that Charlemagne was invented, but also that a large section of European history, such as the history of Anglo-Saxon England, was also fabricated, and that the history of Islamic was drastically misdated etc. Contrast this with the numerous discussions about UFOs, the JFK Assassination etc. I've found no evidence that this theory is part of popular culture. I suspect this page is itself a major contribution to the limited notability of the subject. In the original nomination the issue of notability was largely not discussed. The consensus was that the theory was nonsense, but that this was not grounds for deletion. However, Wikipedia cannot document every unorthodox theory. Jack Upland (talk) 05:58, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The German version[26] of this page has an impressive-looking set of references and bibliography, but I've not checked if it's really that great. --Colapeninsula (talk) 08:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There seems to have been a mini-controversy in Germany, but I don't think that a topic that is notable in the German Wikipedia is necessarily notable in the English Wikipedia. The theory is very Germanocentric, even though its implications are global. Unless the theory is taken up outside of Germany, I think the English Wikipedia is unduly promoting an extremely fringe theory. It also seems perverse to argue that if a fringe theory is refuted by a reliable source it is entitled to a page on one of the world's top websites!--Jack Upland (talk) 12:23, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think I mentioned Google. I also don't think I suggested Germany was a phantom place. However, the fact that none of these references have been translated into English suggests the theory is obscure. It is also Wikipedia policy not to promote fringe theories. If Wikipedia is the main English source for this theory, I think Wikipedia is promoting it.--Jack Upland (talk) 01:37, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Things that are notable in German-language sources are notable - David Gerard (talk) 10:05, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Having a page about a WP:FRINGE theory is not promoting it, and their notability does not have to be weighed against their relative incredibility. Similarly, the lack of support for a fringe theory in the English-speaking world doesn't make it non-notable; we have a page on the Derbyite theory of Shakespeare authorship which is popular in France, and the Bielefeld Conspiracy meme in German pop culture. - Cal Engime (talk) 23:58, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Being elected to a local office is not enough to pass the notability guidelines for politicians. Further, not enough coverage in the media to pass general notability guidelines. Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 06:13, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, being mayor of a city with a population of over a million is enough for notability (there is no clear-cut rule here, arguably mayors of towns with 10,000-50,000 inhabitants would automatically pass for notability, but with over one million it should be quite clear that there is sufficent notability). --Soman (talk) 06:28, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Could you point me to any policy which says so ? --Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 12:49, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Common sense. As I commented above there is no fixed rule on when a mayor becomes notable by default, but being mayor of a town with 1 million inhabitants is definately enough. --Soman (talk) 14:33, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    WP:POLOUTCOMES clarifies that as a rule, mayors of cities are indeed quite commonly kept, as long as their articles are properly sourced and more substantive than just "So-and-so is the mayor of such-and-such, the end." Policy doesn't explicitly apply a strict population cutoff — an unofficial 50K rule holds sway with a lot of people, but even the mayor of a much smaller city than 50K can clear the bar if that city's politics gets more media attention than normal (e.g. by virtue of being the capital city of a country or province or state or territory), and the mayor of a much bigger city than 50K can fail to clear the bar if the quality of referencing is for the birds. But for all intents and purposes, a well-sourced article about a mayor of a city with a population of over one million is almost certain to be kept in very nearly all cases. Bearcat (talk) 23:34, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abhilasha Gupta is mayor of Allahabad, a metropolitan city of India, this is enough for notability.

Hi Jeeteshvaishya, yes being elected to a local office is not notable. If you think that Sunil Prabhu fails WP:GNG, you can nominate it for deletion. I could only find 2-3 references, which only discuss that she was elected Mayor. That is not enough. And one more thing, in a deletion discussion, it is not good to say ki "please find sources on google etc". It create mis communication. Two different editors could be seeing different search results on google search. Best practice is to cite the sources. If u think that there are sufficient sources. Please list those here, so that other editors can have a look at those before voting. --Vigyanitalkਯੋਗਦਾਨ 13:18, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fifth International[edit]

I am not convinced that this article should exist. So far, such an International simply does not exist ; it is not even a coherent concept. We just have very different people (most notably Hugo Chavez) who said, in very different times, that it would be nice to have a Fifth International. As long as this International has not been actually and officially created, I don't think we should have a page, besides brief mentions in Hugo Chavez, History of socialism, History of communism, Bolivarian Revolution, Socialism of the 21st century and so on. In its present state, the article is just misleading, since it would lead some to believe that the "Fifth International" has been a defined and coherent concept, while the various people who have used the term "Fifth International" have nothing in common (unless one thinks there is an intimate political connection between Hugo Chavez in 2007 and Lyndon LaRouche in 1965 !). So far, this "Fifth International" is just wishful thinking : while it deserves to be mentioned here and there, wikipedia should not be used to give it substance.

  • Keep The League for the Fifth International does exist, and there have been many proposals over the last 75 years. They all have to do with revolutionary socialism, most have to do with Trotskyism, and a broad article on the concept is appropriate, along with articles on the League and various other groups that identify with the concept. By the way, what Chavez had in common with LaRouche in 1965 was self identification as revolutionary socialists. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 16:50, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, the League for the Fifth International does exist indeed, but I don't think mere proposals made by very different people, for very different reasons, make the Fifth International a reality (or even a coherent concept). Jean-Jacques Georges (talk) 17:05, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The concept, as historical proposal or fictional reference, is worth an article (or maybe a merge or redirect). Chuunen Baka (talkcontribs) 16:57, 10 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Like Cullen said, this is one proposal for the Fifth International among the others. Hugo Chavez indeed has called for it, and many parties of the socialist current have been invited to it. On top of that, it has been taken seriously by some of the major political players in the European field, like The Left, Germany. As we know, The Left entails many different socialist factions, some of which have even been subject to investigation of Verfassungsschutz for their suspected radical activities. Therefore, I absolutely think that the Fifth International is an important phenomenon amidst the socialist field of today. Jayaguru-Shishya (talk) 20:15, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the idea of a "fifth" international has been around for decades. Various groups taking that name or using the concept have popped up from time to time.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 22:21, 22 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Unlike the International, Second International, Third International, Two-and-a-Half International, and Fourth International, there is no such thing as the 5th International. Hugo Chavez apparently said that it might be time to start one. Somebody made a swell logo. That's all there is to this: crystal ball speculation. Fails GNG. Carrite (talk) 16:30, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete and replace with disambiguation page: It's a patent case of WP:CRYSTAL. It's also a case of mistakenly assuming that all uses of a phrase refer to the same topic, then trying to make an article out of novel synthesis of all that, a WP:NOR violation, as well as a transgression of our principle that articles cover only one discrete topic and its subtopics. The only thing I would put in its place is a disambiguation page with entries like:
    * Fighting Fifth International, a 1938 proposal by [[POUM]] (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification)
    * Fifth International, a 1941 proposal by Argentine Troskyist [[Quebracho]]

    Any sources cited should be worked into the pages to which these entries would link. Any with no pages yet but for which we have a citation can either be used to create the pages in question if there's enough there, or at least noted for later use, on the talk page.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  23:42, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    PS: This is distinguishable from, e.g., Second Constitutional Convention of the United States, because the "Fifth International" is a different entity created/convened through a different process with different role-players, in different places, toward different ends, in every formulation, while the 2CC is the same idea, to take the same form, in the same place, with the same roles (the legislators then in office), and under the same rules, the only significant difference between the proposals being what they hope the constitution-redrafting process will produce, and based on what values. It's like the difference between trying to have an article about a science fiction TV series that might appear next season on BBC 1, but about which we don't know anything other than general genre, vs. an article on various scripts and drafts and pilots and whatever for an upcoming TV series the basic plot of which is known already, and where only details regarding the differences between the treatments vary. — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  23:46, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: This article falls within the Guidelines of WP:CRYSTAL as acceptable. From WP:CRYSTAL, "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation. All articles about anticipated events must be verifiable, and the subject matter must be of sufficiently wide interest that it would merit an article if the event had already occurred. It is appropriate to report discussion and arguments about the prospects for success of future proposals and projects or whether some development will occur, if discussion is properly referenced." The history of the prior Internationals suggest it is merely a matter of time until the Fifth occurs. The article is referenced, and is reporting discussion and arguments about the prospects for its success. I think that it is quite clear that Fifth International is a topic that is specifically allowed under WP:CRYSTAL's policy. Gzuufy (talk) 18:57, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but agree with many of the problematic issues with the article raised above. I think the lede paragraph should state quite clearly that it is an amorphous hypothetical concept, used in different ways and times by different people, meaning different things, as well as trying to circumscribe the commonalities (eg, pro-workers, socialist, international movement). Agree with Gzuufy that it is allowable per WP:CRYSTAL, in that while the 5th Intl may not exist as an actual organization, it exists as a concept of one, and the concept as such is real and has a meaning. Another problem touched on above is that there could be POV issues, in the sense that merely having an article on an organization which does not exist, can have an advocacy-effect, in the sense that Wikipedia may be seen as advocating for the creation of this organization merely by having an article on it. So care must be used in the article, but I do not see that as grounds for deletion.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 14:52, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of this person is not established as per WP:MUSICBIO, and the references in a local newspaper do not establish sufficient notability for a WP:BLP. Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:21, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Notability is established per WP:Music #10 Has performed music for a work of media that is notable...; namely, Homi played a large part as keyboardist in Yanni Live at the Acropolis which is both a notable concert tour and notable live album/concert film (second in sales to Michael Jackson's Thriller), as well as noting several other notable performers she has toured with stated in the article. ♫ Cricket02 (talk) 04:48, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • NeutralWeak delete (see below). I'm not sure this meets WP:MUSICBIO #10 based on what Cricket02 suggests. The examples for that criterion are things like having performed a theme song for a notable TV show, or inclusion on a notable compilation album. Merely having performed a musical task on an album that's notable probably doesn't meet that criterion. And even presuming it does, there might still be cause for redirecting. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 00:02, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Changed to Weak delete as the other !votes have convinced me that MUSICBIO #10 does not apply. As to whether there's a WP:GNG argument, the laundry list of sources look like little more than mentions. It's possible I missed something of course, but I really don't see evidence of the requisite "significant coverage" mentioned in GNG. In short, this is clearly a skilled musician, and clearly a sought-after professional backing singer... but no more notable for Wikipedia purposes than a skilled cardiologist or managing partner of a major law firm. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 03:37, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. Clearly she is an accomplished professional musician, but I can't find evidence that she is the subject of substantial coverage that focuses on her. Best I could find was a piece from the local newspaper in Vallejo [27], which refers to her and her husband having "reached the pinnacle of their chosen music industry careers". On the other hand, I note that her AllMusic listing has no biographical information, and (as far as I can see) doesn't list any notable recordings in which she is a principal rather than a sideman. I don't think WP:Music #10 applies because I didn't find any evidence that she was considered a prominent focus of the Yanni tour/film. A well known sideman can certainly be notable, but I don't find the evidence for that here. --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:04, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Just for added context, that local paper, the Times Herald, has 3 articles about the couple, by the same author, similar in size; 2009-01-01 on neighborhood trash 2009-05-25 on music careers 2010-08-16 on neighborhood graffiti. It kind of drives home that the music career story wasn't due to their exceptional notability, so much as a normal local interest story. On the other hand, given the Yanni/Acropolis association (I agree, small role, but major album), I'm inclined to be more liberal in counting a source like this toward notability. While a lot of its info is supplied by Homi (the article seems pretty careful to qualify statements with "she said", e.g. about performing on the Yanni video), it is at least a nice amount of biographical material, to provide some meat to this Wikipedia article rather than just a discography or list of names. I think her only significant recording in which she was the lead was 2010's Homiopathy, self-published through CD Baby, which did not attract any independent notice. Agyle (talk) 10:57, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • I concur. The only reason I'm here is because of the WT:AFD link. —/Mendaliv//Δ's/ 00:11, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless more in-depth coverage is found. I found no significant coverage of the subject in published reliable sources. I do consider the subject's performance on a successful album as suggestive of Wikipedia notability, but it is mitigated by being one of eight musicians on the album, and more importantly, without any coverage found about the subject's performance in particular. One of the underlying reasons behind the coverage requirements is described at WP:WHYN, "We require 'significant coverage' in reliable sources so that we can actually write a whole article, rather than half a paragraph or a definition of that topic." While some allowances are made for certain fields (e.g., nationally elected politicians get articles regardless of coverage; academics get articles based on their work even if there is no coverage about them), I'm not sure how far that should be extended to a musician. To some extent, with a lack of good references, it's a choice between providing terribly deficient coverage of the subject, or no coverage.
Per ♫ Cricket02's suggestion of WP:Music #10, that list of criteria is prefaced with "may be notable if...", and the complete sentence for the excerpt of #10 mentions that if that's the only claim of notability, it may be more appropriate to cover them in an article about the notable work. The section also includes the guidance that "members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases." Yanni's is an extremely notable album, but despite that, I found no coverage of it that singled out Homi's performance on it. (It could very well exist; media back than was rarely published online, and copyrights protect such material from being easily found. People with access to private media databases (e.g., journalists) would be better equipped to find it.)
I did find one short/medium bit of coverage, and many minor/one-sentence mentions of the subject in independent reliable sources (most are just performance announcements - I omitted about a dozen more of them them):
  • Electronic Musician, Volume 13, Issues 1-6. Polyphony Publishing Company. 1997. p. 121. Julie Homi, a pianist first and foremost, who 'earns a living playing synths' with artists such as Peter Cetera, Martin Page, Tracy Chapman, and Yanni, also likes to experiment with different piano sounds. 'Generally for ballads — as well as pieces where the piano is exposed — I go for a fat, warm sound,' she explains. 'For rock piano solos where the band is going full tilt, I go for loud and bright, and I make sure I stay above middle C so I can cut through the band. However, a bright sample can sound thin in the bass register, so I might add a second, fatter sound in the first two octaves. Especially when playing single-note lines, it helps to add another piano sound an octave lower for emphasis.' Homi's 'sound system' for her Cetera gig includes a Kurzweil MicroPiano layered with a Roland JV-1080 expander and a Roland JD-800. When performing with Martin Page she adds a Roland MKS- 20, and for Yanni she uses a Korg SG-1D layered with an E-mu EMIII (loaded with the EIII's Bosendorfer sample). Extracted via Google "Snippet View", and I think this is all the coverage of Homi in an article about synthesized piano stage performance that bounces from one musician to another (Brad Cole immediately follows the excerpt on Homi).

  • Weak delete. This is a pretty interesting case. A backing musician, fairly successful as such (earning a living at it, working with some major acts, respect of her peers), but she appears to fall just short of our notability criteria. Performing on Yanni Live at the Acropolis does not pass WP:BAND#10: that's not her album, it's Yanni's, and BAND#10 is for works credited to the artist in question; neither does she meet #6 for working for several other artists because backing musicians are not usually considered "reasonably prominent members" of ensembles, and the bands she has been a full member of do not appear to be notable in their own right. Of the sources posted above, only one (the Times-Herald) is significant coverage, but it's local (it's the community paper of Vallejo, where she lives). After that there's the Electronic Musician article, which contains a brief blurb about her and a quote, but not much more than that. And the article listed in the Feminist Periodicals catalogue, which we know nothing about. The rest all appear to be passing mentions and concert listings. If somebody can uncover some more substantial coverage of her in particular, or dig up that "Star on the Rise" article and establish that it's a reliable, third-party, etc. publication, I'll gladly change my !vote. — Gwalla | Talk 20:34, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No reason for an individual article. The "touring musician" bit is not sufficient for notability, and by himself he has no hits, no records on a major label--in short, no reason to have an article. Drmies (talk) 00:59, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Prima facie fails WP:MUSICBIO with no reliable independent sources found. I don't see an obvious redirect to one of the bands he has played with but I think (some?) of the content is worth keeping. Neutral for now, a valid suggestion for a merge/redirect target might persuade me otherwise.  Philg88 talk 09:17, 15 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The article itself contains only primary sources, but a search finds some coverage and many mentions in Reliable Sources.[29][30][31][32] Given that I was only searching in English, it is reasonable to assume there would be more coverage in other languages. --MelanieN (talk) 00:45, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: From the sources you have mentioned, this is a very small article. The other three: [33], [34], [35] are mostly about treatments that some people have received at this hospital and are not really covering the hospital as such. It fails WP:GNG.  LeoFrank  Talk 15:38, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks quant18, I didn't realise he was the deputy mayor of Taipei. A Google search for "台湾丁庭宇" returns sufficient coverage in third party sources to establish notability. There is an in depth analysis of his finances by Apple Daily (Taiwan) here, in depth coverage in this Wuhan news report and another article with significant coverage here. FWIW he also has an entry on Baidu.  Philg88 talk 04:17, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as deputy mayor of Taipei.--TM 12:04, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Language barriers are always a problem (my original search originally showed several people named Timothy Ting), but as a deputy mayor for the capital of Taiwan, plus coverage in several reliable sources, he's notable. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 13:39, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete Book hits seem to refer to the earlier Eisner period, not the present. I'm not terribly convinced that those references mean to establish it as the name of an era in the company history, or I would suggest a redirect. Mangoe (talk) 00:59, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    When is this Eisner period?? Georgia guy (talk) 01:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    1984-2005. Tchaliburton (talk) 01:13, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Do you know of any reason to delete this article based on the period rather than the term?? Georgia guy (talk) 01:15, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand the question. Mangoe (talk) 01:20, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Period" in the question means period as in period of time. Term means the term "Disney Revival". Georgia guy (talk) 01:21, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This period of 2009-???? is arbitrary and the topic doesn't meet WP:GNG. Changing the title won't fix this. Tchaliburton (talk) 01:35, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Most companies have ups and down. It seems like the author of the article has just picked an arbitrary period in which the company produced a few hit films. The Disney Renaissance was generally regarded as a new era for the company, not just in terms of success but a complete overhaul of business practises and expansion into other media. Moreover, a "revival" generally follows a downturn, but following the departure of Eisner in 2004 the company continued to grow with huge hits such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Alice in Wonderland" and the acquisition of Pixar and Marvel. For this article to exist—regardless of what it is called—the specific period needs to be discussed by reliable sources as a notable era on its own merits, which doesn't seem to be the case here. There is a brief history of Disney's different eras at [36]. Betty Logan (talk) 02:42, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Attempt to establish, on Wikipedia rather than in third-party sources, an unestablished term for an unestablished period (Princess and the Frog and Winnie the Pooh are considered disappointments by the studio itself). Never seen this term used as a proper noun in any third-party reliable source (all uses of term in source search above are as "Disney revival", note case). Article content duplicates coverage of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Modern animation in the United States. --FuriousFreddy (talk) 04:13, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Fan-driven original synthesis, pure and simple. No place in an encyclopedia. --McDoobAU93 13:11, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't the Disney Wiki. It may have different standards for verifiability than this site does. For Wikia, it may be just fine. For Wikipedia, it isn't. --McDoobAU93 00:41, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Disproof of Koala15's statement. Disney Wikia uses it. Georgia guy (talk) 16:11, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But how do we know the editor who created this article didn't also create the Wikia article? Wikis aren't reliable sources. --McDoobAU93 16:34, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Check the Disney wiki to see if they actually created the Disney wiki article. Georgia guy (talk) 17:35, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You know what? Out of curiosity, I did. It was created in March 2014 by someone using the screen name "Nintenmouse". We have no way of proving that Nintenmouse and Pixar1986 are (or are not) the same person. And you know what else? It doesn't matter. It's still another wiki, and by WP:UGC it's not reliable and thus cannot be used as a basis for an edit here, much less an entire article's raison d'être. --McDoobAU93 17:49, 2 July 2014 (UTC
  • Delete. The source in question is on a wikia, but not on this wikipedia. Plus WP:GNG and WP:UGC, I think it's safe to say that this article is unnecessary.
