I don't believe that this person is notable. Yes his suicide was sad but he is not the only war vet to choose this route so if his suicide makes him notable we open up WP to every dead vet. Gbawden (talk) 07:59, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The person has acquired "significant, in-depth coverage in independent, reliable sources" (CNN, The Guardian, Gawker, Daily Mail, etc.), which makes him pass WP:BIO. And yes, his suicide has indeed made him notable. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 08:14, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Wikipedia's guideline WP:GNG is met handily with this biography, having so many reliable sources commenting on the man and his words that went viral. Regarding the heartless "every dead vet" comment, Wikipedia can and should have articles about every one of them that meets notability guidelines. Certainly Somers does.

  • Delete this appears to be a case of WP:BIO1E. He is notable only for his suicide. All of the sources are a rehashing of his suicide. EricSerge (talk) 13:01, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • However, "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate." Given his suicide (including his suicide note and his attitude towards the war) has significance, and he certainly has the "main role" in the event, I'd like to say he's eligible for an article. Zhaofeng Li [talk... contribs...] 13:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment I will admit that he got brief, broad coverage, for a single event. However, the event is no more notable than any other disturbed vet who killed themselves. While his death is tragic, his suicide did not seem to have any long lasting effect or impact that would make it encyclopedic. Are we giving undue weight to recent-ism and because he is a nice white kid from the suburbs? Daniel's story has a place on Wikipedia. He is an illustrative example of the PTSD epidemic that will shadow the generation of GWOT Vets for the rest of their lives. His story belongs in an article dealing with that subject. EricSerge (talk) 22:32, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It certainly seems notable. -- Matthew - (talk · userpage · contributions) 13:40, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment - is it the event (suicide and the viral suicide note) or the person that is notable? More from WP:ONEEVENT which says "it may be unclear whether an article should be written about the individual, the event or both" and "The general rule in many cases is to cover the event, not the person". It was the note that got the attention. Should the title be "Suicide of Daniel Somers"? GraemeLeggett (talk) 21:29, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete His notability is achieved solely through his suicide. All the coverage noted was for the event, not the person. Seems that WP:BIO1E applies and the article should not stand. Vertium When all is said and done 00:01, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete not notable in life or depth. The current trivial coverage is to be judged by the same standards as n internet meme, where some substantial degree of permanent significance is required. DGG ( talk ) 01:48, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but move. I am full of pain for what became of him, but it was not the man who was notable. And it wasn't the suicide that was notable either, but the international attention his suicide note received. This is definitely notable, IMO, but it's the event of the media response or maybe the suicide note itself that is notable. RIP Daniel Somers. Dcs002 (talk) 05:41, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Violation of Wikipedia not being news. We do not cover every passing news trend. If this had happened in 1989 no one would have ever bothered making an article, people only created an article because it was an extremely recent event. It is not of lasting significance.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:21, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Cancel hold request) Sorry, but I don't know the appropriate way to request this. Please give me at least a day to establish continued historical significance, as that seems to be the major sticking point in this discussion. A simple Google search turned up a bunch of articles about Daniel Somers and his death, including articles in the Washington Post, the New York Times, and the Daily Mail. I will expand the article and source this continued coverage after the event (I hope not too sloppily) per WP:PERSISTENCE. The three articles I mentioned were published in August and November, 2013, and May, 2014. IMO this will clearly demonstrate WP:PERSISTENCE. If it doesn't, we can continue this discussion. Thank you. Dcs002 (talk) 00:54, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
So you all know, I usually edit in small bits. I read a source and post info from that source. This means the article is going to look worse before it looks better. (Right now it looks like the article is relying too heavily on one article in the Washington Post that isn't the greatest source neutrality-wise.) I am planning to add a total of five new sources (the ones I mentioned above plus one from Politico on May 30 and a Congressional transcript from just two weeks ago) before I am done. I will post something here when I have finished these edits. Thanks for your patience. Dcs002 (talk) 02:21, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you all for being patient. I have finished adding content and sources. There are formatting issues and pleanty of tidying up issues left, but I think there is enough sourcing now to decide the issue of WP:PERSISTENCE. Ok, I am now hopelessly biased on the issue, but I think it passes that test. :) Dcs002 (talk) 06:42, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If anyone is interested, I have discovered the proper way to make this type of request. See {{In use}}. Put the tag at the top of the page in question. There are options to show how long you expect to be editing and why you have requested this. You can also tag a single section. The template updates the time of the last edit automatically.

  • Keep. This person is notable for his suicide note making a major difference; it exposed the VA's gross negligence, fraudulence, and disrespect of not only him, but many other veterans by the VA system. Although there had been previous whistleblowers at the Phoenix VA, none received significant public attention. The Arizona Republic quoted US Representative from Arizona Kyrsten Sinema: "Daniel Somers is the original whistle-blower of the Phoenix VA" (Friday, July 11, 2014, pages A1 and A16). His parents continue to press for systemic change in the VA system. For example, on Thursday, July 10, 2014, they testified before the US House Veterans' Affairs Committee and proposed a number of specific reforms (http://archive.azcentral.com/ic/pdf/somers-family-testimony-hearing.pdf). His suicide note also led to whistle-blowers speaking out about other VA hospitals across the nation. The fraudulent "secret lists" were then exposed. These lists had been used to make it seem that VA facilities were meeting their goals for timeliness of appointments; this led to administrative staff receiving bonuses.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bananagramwinner (talkcontribs)
  • Comment May I ask that participants in this discussion review the major changes made to the article yesterday and consider whether their !votes still stand as they are? I think the !votes are currently 7 to keep and 5 to delete (counting Gbawden's proposal for deletion as a !vote to delete), which doesn't seem like a consensus at all, but a new review of the highly revised article might result in a clearer consensus. Again, I don't know if there is a proper or formal way to make this request. I'm sorry I'm dominating this discussion, but this subject became important to me through this process, and I am very interested in resolving it clearly and fairly, even if the clear consensus is to delete. It should now be clear that the sourcing for historical WP:PERSISTENCE is roughly as thorough as it is likely to get (assuming Bananagramwinner and I were also reasonably thorough - the "first whistle-blower" statement that Bananagramwinner found ties this in to the larger VA scandal of 2014), so if this doesn't cut it, then so be it. I have never participated in a discussion involving single-event notability or persistence, so I don't know if these newer sources have clearly established the case or made it clearer that, if this is all we get, then it fails one or both tests. Thank you again for your tremendous patience! Dcs002 (talk) 02:37, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but retitle to Suicide of Daniel Somers. 90% of what makes the subject notable is their whistleblowing attempts/actions agains the VA. Giving some preamble that explains the lead up to the suicide/note, but not as a Biography of Daniel Somers. Hasteur (talk) 12:56, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and move. This suicide was obviously notable due to the impact it had on the VA. For that reason I don't think WP:BLP1E applies here. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 21:36, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It appears to be quite clear that his political career came to nothing. The fact that the article is 6 years out of date, and unreferenced, is a cautionary tale against lowering the notability bar too far. --Mkativerata (talk) 10:27, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • No strong claim of notability that would get him past WP:POLITICIAN (highest office ever attained is a municipal committee? er, no) — and the article relies exclusively on a user-generated database for referencing, without so much as a shred of reliable source coverage to explain why he would belong in an encyclopedia. In addition, the article was created by User:ProfLiberté, implying a potential conflict of interest as the article identifies its subject as a libertarian and the creator has never made any other contributions to Wikipedia at all.

Article relies exclusively on primary and unreliable sources for referencing.

  • Weak keep. I could not find significant coverage of the subject itself in independent reliable sources. However, its articles have attracted reasonably significant coverage in reliable sources, which I think meets Wikipedia:Notability (web)'s criterion that "the content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself." While some of the coverage I considered is in opinion pieces, which are not reliable sources for factual purposes, their publication in high-profile reliable sources still seems indicative of the subject's notability. Some coverage considered:
  • Harbison, C. (2014-05-13). "Football Player AJ McCarron Flaunts Sexual Orientation On Live Television: Free Wood Post Satire Article Has Internet In An Uproar". International Digital Times.
  • Fader, Carole (2012-09-01). "Fact Check: Too important to go to Vietnam? Romney never said it". The Florida Times-Union.
  • Garvin, Glenn (2013-10-27). "The war on Halloween". Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. (Note: this is an op-ed column)
  • Pryal, Katie Rose Guest (2012). "The Rhetoric of Sissy-Slogans: How Denigrating the Feminine Perpetuates the Terror Wars". The Journal of Gender, Race & Justice. 15 (503).
  • O'Neil, Luke (2013-05-10). "No More Fake News". New Republic.
  • "Is Michele Bachmann Trying To Ban Halloween? Free Wood Post Article Confuses Social Media, Spawning Epic Internet Hoax". International Design Times. 2013-10-18. (Note: source seems to have ceased publishing in January 2014)
  • Erb, Kelly Phillips (2012-07-30). "Why I Don't Believe That Anonymous Hacked The IRS For Romney's Returns". Forbes. (Note: this is an opinion piece, disavowed by Forbes in a disclaimer)
  • "Satire Website Misrepresents Ted Cruz's Christian Faith". Christian Post. 2013-09-30.
  • Bigelow, William (2012-10-11). "Twitter: Liberals Buy Into Fiction That Romney Wants to Ban Tampons". Breitbart.
There are also many cases where FW Post's works of fiction are carried as factual news, with the source unattributed, for example in this Ghana Nation story, although it's not clear that influencing world news media confers "notability" in the Wikipedia sense.

Wouter van Oortmerssen[edit]

Wouter van Oortmerssen (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)

Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG and fails to state a reason the subject should be notable in lieu of sources under WP:ANYBIO. All but one of the sources offered are WP:PRIMARY and thus unhelpful; the one that isn't primary is an WP:SPS blog post and equally unhelpful. As an WP:ACADEMIC, he might qualify based on his scholarly work but a search of Google scholar turned up only a few minor papers with only a few citations. (Generally speaking, a significant paper is one with >1000 citations; this subject's top paper only received 6 citations, which is basically nothing.) Googling failed to turn up anything useful on the web or in books. His main claim to fame appears to be the creation of some toy programming languages and a game engine, all of apparently similarly questionable notability. It's possible I missed something but I don't think so.

  • Keep 37 hits in Scholar. Fully, either his articles, cited by his peers, or articles citing him or his work. No fluff, no trivial mentions. Compare that with OpenTTD, an open-source programming language. 50 hits on Scholar, many of them trivial mentions of the use of OpenTTD to test other things. Both are related to the bastard child that none of the academics who contribute to WP want to even admit exists-computer games. But one of them is done for FUN. O, please. Must we? Games for fun? And the other is Wikipedia's favorite son, open source. We are open source, after all. You do the math. It was obvious to me before I hit a single link. Anarchangel (talk) 02:34, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Upon reflection, I recall that archness and sarcasm are less productive than other tones. Do not have the energy to fix it, though, today. Anarchangel (talk) 02:41, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused. How do you get 37 hits? When I click the Google scholar link above, it reports "About 33 results (0.12 sec; Showing 33 matches)". The top 3 results are "Cube" with 3 citations, "The Cube Engine" with 2 citations and "Concurrent tree space transformation in the aardappel programming language" with 6 citations (consistent with what I said in my nomination). Do you see something different when you click? Are you arguing that 6 citations should be enough under WP:SCHOLAR? And what is your point about 50 hits for OpenTTD? Are you arguing WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS? I'm completely at loss to understand your !vote. Can you help me, please? Msnicki (talk) 03:10, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Google searches are the weakest evidence, only a little better than assertions. This is partly why. It is possible to get different results for a search. I may also have been in error with the 37, but I do not think so. At any rate, I now see 33 results and the same top three as you. The subject has very much caught the imagination of his niche community with his frequent reworking of code in innovative and imaginative formats, and to a lesser extent, with the unusual names for his code. He has caught an awful lot of fan press with the former and latter together. The Scholar results are more the result of his code than its funky names, I should imagine, and there are nearly as many scholarly works dealing with him and his work as there are for an entire open source coding system, including all the instances where people are making tests of other code or hardware etc, and using OpenTTD as a standard. These mentions of TTD would be trivial, as the focus of the test is a result unrelated to OpenTTD. I surely hope that explanation is sufficient, as I would not be capable of explaining it more clearly. Anarchangel (talk) 00:23, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I also don't fully understand what Anarchangel is trying to communicate, though I understand van Oortmerssen wrote something game-related ten years ago, and Archangel thinks Wikipedia contributors are academics with a bias against games. While one could argue with that, it's beside the point. Checking Google Scholar, I found no papers by van Oortmerssen in peer-reviewed journals or conference proceedings. There are a few references to a webpages titled "Cube", "Cube 2", or "Cube Engine" at his website "cubeengine.com" (e.g., see detect_cheat.pdf in some conference proceedings and less formal writings. Most of the results returned by Google Scholar do not mention van Oortmerssen at all; Google tries to guess what results might interest a person, it doesn't search for actual occurrences of a search term. Other results returned included van Oortmerssen's PhD thesis, and credits in a few books that printed a funny photo of Richard Stallman, taken by van Oortmerssen. ––Agyle (talk) 01:55, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, did not find evidence of notability in multiple independent reliable sources, nor does his work meet academic biography guidelines (WP:PROF). This 2001 OSNews interview, cited in the article, counts for something; it begins "Wouter van Oortmerssen is a living legend in the Amiga community". Perhaps there is other coverage we don't have access to in old Amiga magazines or something, but unless properly documented, I would not presume notability. If someone really wants to work on this biography, they should try contacting him to see if he can suggest publications that covered his work; some people keep clippings of that sort of thing. ––Agyle (talk) 01:55, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — The OSNews interview is almost but not quite enough to establish notability. I checked GBooks, which didn't turn up anything either (they have some old computing magazines, I was hoping to hit some Amiga-centric ones). There just doesn't seem to be enough raw material here to write an actual biography, rather than a list of trivia. If someone can expand the article with material from old Amiga mags, I might change my mind. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 16:36, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The planning areas themselves may be notable, but I'm not seeing the notability for the sub-units of geogrpahy used for urban planning. There is no indication of historical significance of this area (e.g., former village or something like that).

While she does have coverage, she doesn't meet WP:NACTOR. She is known for one thing and one thing only, being the Wendy's commercial girl. Not notable. Not enough for her own article anyway. I suggest redirecting to Wendy's. LADY LOTUSTALK 16:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep NACTOR doesn't come into play if she passes GNG, which I think is the case with her coverage in the The Birmingham News. SNGs only exist to assume notability when there aren't sufficient sources for GNG. Regardless, some of her coverage is for her other acting, so WP:BLP1E doesn't count. Chris Troutman (talk) 19:02, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But the only coverage on her is for her commercials. It's not like it's delving into her career, it's just talking about who that girl is from the Wendy's commercial. Hardly notable coverage if it's only covering her on one subject. LADY LOTUSTALK 19:05, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as crossing the verifiability and notability thresholds. It's not true that all of the coverage is on one subject as the first article cited is about her theatrical work, not her commercial acting. Also, there are many more sources available from earlier in her career to expand this article, which is more than sufficient for GNG. - Dravecky (talk) 20:26, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Not only does meet the verifiability threshold, but it meets the notability threshold for having a large fan base or cult following. She's appeared in more than 40 Wendy's commercials that have been aired over 120,000 times; there are numerous fan sites, fan club sites, and downright creepy stalker-ish sites. There are even I hate the Wendy's Girl pages. There are more articles written in the past week that could be used as references in the article as well.

I hate to do this, but, I'm fearing that this magazine might not pass WP:GNG let alone Wikipedia:Notability_(media)#Newspapers.2C_magazines_and_journals. Now, maybe it does pass #5 on that notability criteria - however, I'm struggling to find multiple reliable secondary sources that talk about the magazine outside of mere mentions regarding the a soap opera star coming out of the closet in the magazine.

Perhaps others disagree, and perhaps this will be kept, and that would be great, if it can be improved, but, my own exploration in improving it failed. :( SarahStierch (talk) 18:06, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- 10,000 converts (even if in conjunction with another person); presidential gold medal. If correct, this sound like notability to me. The complaint does not seem to be that the content is inaccurate. I suspect the nom has an axe to grind, to remove notable Indian Christians nof an earlier generation. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:12, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - there is certainly a claim to notability for this person. That Thomas Rathnam is not notable is irrelevant in the context of this article, and we have to assume good faith when it comes to other editors and their motivations. Most of the references do not appear to be reliable sources (which is an entirely different thing from being "bogus") but there may very well be other usable references; I do not read Tamil so can't find sources in that language. Please note that references do not have to be online, but they (obvously) have to exist in some form. In the interest of counteracting systemic bias it is important to include notable people outside the Western world - provided they are notable. --bonadea contributions talk 08:26, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Is this "gold medal from the president of India" a Presidential Gold Medal of India or something that we have an article on the award? Is there any evidence he received it? The 10,000 converts seems to be this man, the priest mentioned here, and maybe some others. Is there a reliable source covering conversions of the untouchables in India. I know in the mid-20th-century many of those left Hinduism for other religions in very large groups, enough that India has since tried to pass laws to discourage such, so in the context of the time and place 10,000 converts is not neccesarily that big a deal. I'm sure there were Catholic missionaries in 15th-century Mexico who baptized many more Native people than that who we have no articles on. There are published books on the history of Christianity in both Asia and India specifically, I started reading one on the later when a student at Wayne State University, but never finished it. These might be good places to look to see if there are any mentions of Rathinam and his work in converting people. Tamil sources might also be helpful if they are findable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:29, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The nomination is cryptic indeed, but there don't seem to be any English-language sources available online, nor any indication that offline or non-English sources exist. At the risk of stating the obvious, we can't really keep articles at AfD solely on the basis that they contain remarkable claims (e.g. having converted a large number of people or having received a certain award) – if those claims aren't verifiable, and in this case they don't seem to be, then they can't be used to establish notability. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 17:39, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Sources yet to be found. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:22, 28 July 2014 (UTC).[reply]
  • Delete. No sources. There also seems to be some hoaxing going on on the internet concerning this family; see the rather crude "Mr. potato head" style photofits on this page for instance and the repeated recreation of Thomas Rathnam, a supposed descendent. I don't doubt this is a real person but that isn't helping to find sources and means we need to be particularly vigilant about verification in this case. I have no idea what the Tamil script is saying in the article that is supposedly the Tamil version of his name (Google translate comes up with nothing intelligble), but the shear length of it makes it pretty certain that it does not say "S.V.S. Rathinam". From the cover of his book I summise that "S.V.S. Rathinam" is "எஸ். வி. எஸ். இரத்தினம்" in Tamil. Hence I offer
Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL
However, not seeing anything useful there, so no easily accessible sources in Tamil either. Further, I think the major claim to importance of converting 10,000 christians is dubious. The article later says that he assisted Di Elbreil to convert 10,000. I am presuming that is the same 10,000. SpinningSpark 18:35, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I did find this Winnipeg Free Press artcile about the Manitoba pavillion being re-used.

The result was delete. There is clear consensus to delete this article. The nominator also cited a discussion about a large number of similar articles. First, thank you for not nominating all of them at once; those kinds of mass AfDs are often difficult to manage. I gather the intent was to use this a a trial balloon for the whole series. I don't think this AfD should be taken to establish any kind of precedent for the others. I would encourage you to continue to evaluate them one at a time.

Comparison of stackable switches[edit]

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

I am nominating this article for deletion after lengthily discussion here: User talk:Dsimic § Re: List of M.2 SSDs as a section in the M.2 article. Many other articles were mentioned in the discussion, but let's start with this one and see what the consensus is. The main arguments raised in the said discussion are:

  • Articles with lists of products, like this one, tend to be biased toward certain manufacturers, as they do not contain all products. This list, for example, does not contain even half of known stackable switches, which turns it into an advertisement. Listing some manufacturers and products, but not others is not neutral, and lists like this can never be neutral, so it should be deleted.
  • List is outdated, and it is almost impossible to make it up-to date, which makes it per se incorrect. Article that is per se incorrect should be deleted.

Please, do not make arguments in the discussion like "There are other similar articles". The goal is to delete all such articles, and this one is just a start. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:22, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete we are not Consumer Reports or any of its IT equivalents, and that's the only reasonable location for such a chart. Mangoe (talk) 14:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep—I don't see a policy-based argument for deletion here. We are allowed (and encouraged) to delete non-notable articles, attack pages, hoaxes, etc., but there is no policy I'm aware of that encourages the deletion of articles that are out-of-date or incomplete. We fix those, not delete them. See WP:DELETE. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 22:10, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, actually, the arguments raised above are totally policy-based. They are based on the WP:DELETE policy. Reason for deletion No. 14: Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia. Certain editors think that this article is not suitable for encyclopedia because it is promotional (WP:PROMOTION, another policy), and because it is impossible to maintain its accuracy. Vanjagenije (talk) 23:57, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this list of switches is a clear example of WP:PROMOTION, as it contains less than a half of all available stackable Ethernet switches. Something like that tends to turn into advertising; it we had an out-of-date Comparison of D-Link stackable switches article, that would've been a different story, as it wouldn't compare products from different manufacturers. Also, what's the value of having such an article? To me, it has very little of the actual encyclopedic value. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 00:25, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The main problem is that this is not an encyclopedia article, in particular I think WP:DISCRIMINATE applies, in particular the paragraph of "Excessive listings of statistics". It looks like a table that one would find in a technological consumer magazine, but without the benefit of an article to put the table in context. Sjakkalle (Check!) 19:12, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I don't see the promotional part. AfD is not for clean-up. Are you invoking WP:TNT? Bearian (talk) 16:55, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The overall; tone is promotional in my opinion phrases such as "Telecom leases can be excellent sources of ancillary income, in some cases providing the landowner with thousands of dollars per month in annual rent." "The telecommunication industry is growing as the need for 4G and 5G networks flourishes. As a result of this growth there is a constant demand for cellular networks to increase their coverage" The footprint and fair market value are too. I initially watchlisted this and have watched it devolved to promoting telecom leases. Hell in a Bucket (talk)
  • Keep and fix. Results in GBooks indicate that this is a notable topic. If need be, the article can be cut down to a one line stub and rebuilt. Bringing this to AfD just wastes everyone's time and isn't compatible with our editing policy. I have rewritten articles that were much worse than this.

Non-notable pulp science-fiction series. These articles are complete unreferenced, and vary from stubs to stubs with long in-universe plot summaries. Some contain "trivia" or "dramatis personae" sections. They offer no encyclopedic content, including reviews, literary analysis. The first novel (Vector Prime) might be notable since it was written by R. A. Salvatore and WP:NBOOKS confers notability to a book just because it was written by a notable author (which seems silly), but the other books are clearly not notable. Most have been tagged for years for improvement, cleanup, and referencing with no material improvement. Mikeblas (talk) 04:02, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Per WP:NEO. This is apparently a non-notable neologism of the portmanteau variety which, with Wikipedia's help, may soon be notable and help lead interested prospects to web sites such as smarketingtx.com. The article is sourced to tweets, blogs, and self-published web sites. This reminds me of Explainer video which quickly became a magnet for all manner of spam. No thanks. Fails WP:GNG.- MrX 22:39, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Maybe not on the mass media but this term is very used in a lot of marketing and sales teams and internal relationships on companies. I don't know what happened with the Explainer video, but the article has been up for almost 2 weeks and none vandalism has occured.

About the notaility issues, let me just link you some pages, to see that this is not a made-up word:

  • Delete--with kudos for the cleanup, but a few recent articles on this term in some magazines don't add up to encyclopedic notability. Drmies (talk) 02:07, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why not? The general notability guideline is quite clear If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. It is an important concept in the world of marketing, particularly regarding business-to-business marketing. Please can you give a better reason for not following the GNG.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:17, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't answer loaded questions. I will say, for the sake of redundancy, that this is neither in-depth, significant discussion, nor a reliable source of any kind of standing. Happy editing, Drmies (talk) 02:20, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I fail to see why the question "why not?" is loaded. I am merely seeking clarification of your view. I see the Social Media Today site as reliable in that it says essentially what the other references say regarding what Smarketing is all about. There are four other sources including the Journal of Sales & Marketing Management which has been around a long time in the marketing world which are independent, discuss the subject in-depth, and are reliable. Further, more sources can be found, if needed, so I do not understand your 'delete' vote.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:30, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - a google searched turned up quite a bit on the topic. It seems to be a neologism that is catching on in a big way. Bali88 (talk) 04:45, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • [10]
  • [11]

There are a lot of companies that specialise in smarketing, and it has been a growing term over the last years. I guess the notability issue is well passed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luchipe (talkcontribs) 10:37, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. According to this he's a former congressman. Most of the googles for him focus on the Gandhi case, but he does seem to have some history as a politician. RomanSpa (talk) 08:18, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If he is a former or current member of a state or national parliament, he is automatically notable. But could Congressman in this context mean "supporter of the Congress Party" rather than elected representative? I checked his book Rajiv Gandhi's Assassination: The Mystery Unfolds on Worldcat, and this report says that 37 libraries hold a copy of the book.

Comment On 19 June 2014 the nominator PRODed some 50+ Hillsong-related articles see here. From 21 June I noticed this list and that some 10+ of these PRODs were charting albums at either ARIA or Billboard. I have gone through more of the 50+ list and added sources where possible and dePRODed any that I felt had a reliable source for their existence. I was hoping to get time to supply further sources to attempt to establish notability. With so many articles to research this is not necessarily achievable in a short time-frame. The nominator has sent most of the dePRODed articles straight to AfD. I ask for time/assistance in actually searching for sources to support the articles' notability.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 09:38, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. So it doesn't make me proud, but I think this article passes the GNG between the following WP:VG/RS sources in order of strength:
Yes, it would be stubby, and I'd be a proponent of a merge into a National Geographic games article (to share with stubs like Kinect Nat Geo TV, but until then, it passes the GNG enough to stick around. czar  03:49, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Just because it's a free-to-play game doesn't exactly constitute deletion, Also, There aren't too many more reliable third party sources because no-one really has an official list or anything except fansites and sources from the creators, but fansites are still third party technically, The article is still pretty reliable and i personally don't think it should be deleted. --69.166.78.85 (talk) 20:31, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The fan sites are definitively not reliable sources. A list of approved video game sources is available at WP:VG/RS. As for the article's current state, it's unsourced and in need of gutting. That doesn't change that the topic has coverage (mentioned above) that could replace its currently unacceptable state. czar  05:31, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, It does need significant cleanup, But there aren't really to many sources except game guides, fansites, or Official sources for many things, So, It's gonna be a very "large" cleanup for the article, That is, If a cleanup starts, Anyways, That's what i think. --69.166.78.85 (talk) 14:55, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
