WP:BLP, relying exclusively on a single primary source with no evidence of substantive coverage in reliable ones, of a person notable only as a politician at the county level — which is not a level of government that normally confers notability under WP:POLITICIAN. I suppose he might qualify for a properly written and properly sourced article, but this, as written, is barely more than a prosified version of a résumé — I'm also a bit troubled by the possibility of conflict of interest here, as the creator is User:Emories and the subject is a graduate of Emory University. Delete unless much better sourcing than this, supporting a much more substantively and encyclopedically written article, can be salvaged out of this by close. Bearcat (talk) 00:25, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Having been a county executive isn't Truman's primary notability claim, though — he has an article because he went on to hold a series of higher offices more notable than just a county executive position. If "county executive" is the person's primary notability claim, however, then the resulting article has to be sourced almost infinitely better than this to qualify as notable enough. Bearcat (talk) 19:56, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete A much better example of a person notable for being a county executive is Robert A. Ficano, the current county executive of Wayne County, Michigan. Of course since Wayne County has approximately 2 million people it is a different story, and Ficano gets lots of coverage, much of it negative. Kym Worthy has not had many nice things to say about Ficano, for example. That said, the article on May has a vast lack of sourcing, DeKalb County is not equivalent to Wayne County, maybe more Mark Hackel or L. Brooks Patterson level, the executives of the two main suburban counties in Metro Detroit. Though I would say the Patterson article is weak, giving too much attention to an incident early this year when Patterson was attacked for an out-of-context quote from about 1980. The fact that Patterson has been County Executive for 22 years, and was County Prosecutor for 16 before that and before that took a major case to the Supreme Court make him very different than May who actually is only an interim county executive.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:25, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Completely unsourced article about a theatrical production company with a dubious claim to meeting WP:CORP — as written, in fact, it's dancing perilously close to being an advertisement ("The formula blazed a trail that has since been followed...") rather than an encyclopedia article — although not blatant enough to trigger my speedy reflex.

In light of those, I'm willing to withdraw this if some of those sources actually find their way into the article. Bearcat (talk) 18:42, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BLPs are held to different standards than other articles. If he were an inanimate object or an organization, it would be sufficient for reliable sources to demonstrably exist whether they were actually in the article or not — but to support a BLP, at least one or two reliable sources have to actually be in the article as written or it still can't stick around. Bearcat (talk) 02:07, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's true but since the references have been shown to exist, I don't think there's anything to be gained by holding it hostage to a nomination when you can just add those references yourself and be done with it. — Gwalla | Talk 16:06, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Primary sources were in the article. Your stated concern was therefore notability. WP:N#Article content does not determine notability applies. 78.19.26.160 (talk) 23:19, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Primary sources don't count for anything. A BLP has to have at least one reliable source already in it as written, or it still isn't entitled to stick around regardless of what notability claims it does or doesn't make. Bearcat (talk) 18:33, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Failed PROD on technicality. Organisation appears to be no longer functional but it is highly debatable whether it ever met the criteria for WP:GNG, as there do not appear to be any ghits out-of-universe, the article conveys no information beyond what would be found on an organisation's own website, created by a WP:SPA.

  • While the deprodder is correct that "notability is not temporary", what he failed to take into account is that this article as written never actually established any notability in the first place, due to the lack of any reliable sourcing — and even more importantly, its existence or lack thereof isn't even verifiable as things currently stand. No prejudice against future recreation in the unlikely event that somebody can actually create a substantive, properly sourced article about this purported "degree-granting institution", but this version absolutely has to be deleted.

No reason to doubt that the school was a degree granting institution.  Article fails WP:V and the topic fails WP:N.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:40, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Actually the circumstantial evidence that the school never really existed is pretty compelling. All those items show is that someone was at least thinking about creating a college, nothing more. The complete absence of any other information on the web strongly suggests that the school never actually got off the ground. Of course that's not irrefutable evidence. But it is very strong evidence. -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:28, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Without you showing your searches, other editors have no way of knowing what you are or are not finding.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:29, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Let's not get into debating whether the school ever really existed or not. It's true that without good sourcing we can't actually prove that it ever did exist, but without a source which explicitly states that it didn't exist we can't actually prove your theory either. So let's just stick to the fact that we can't find any good sources about it — a fact which blows it out of the water regardless of whether it existed or not — instead of wasting our time speculating about why that's the case. (A propos of nothing, you did notice that Unscintillating agreed with you and me both that the article should be deleted, right?) Bearcat (talk) 04:23, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are many topics covered in the encyclopedia that don't exist.  Unscintillating (talk) 01:29, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Yes, somebody formed a corporation. That's hardly the same thing as operating a college. According to the IRS, the corporation is not registered with them, has no physical address (just "Ripon, California"), and "may no longer exist." They incorporated in 2001; the last time they filed a financial report with the IRS was in 2003, when they showed income of (ready?) $13,300.[2] Anybody believe they were ever an actual degree granting institution, with that kind of budget? Anyone? --MelanieN (talk) 01:06, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sarcasm?  Is that what is being taught to leaders in society now on the peninsula?  That is more money than millions of Wikipedia editors make.  That same link you provided also shows that Form 990's are available for 2004, 2005, and 2006; which makes for a good correlation with the dates that web.archive.org provides for snapshots of the school's website.  Unscintillating (talk) 02:34, 24 July 2014 (UTC
How much money people make is irrelevant. The point is that you could not operate even a tiny college on this kind of budget. You couldn't rent space, you couldn't hire a single instructor. I really don't understand why you are arguing so much about this subject after you !voted delete. What is your point exactly? MelanieN (talk) 16:16, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Do you support good workmanship at AfDs, even when the topic is wp:non-notable?  In your last post, your first sentence states that salaries are irrelevant, then the third sentence implies that non-zero salaries are required.  If you recall, City Seminary of Sacramento is a school physically located in a church.  Unscintillating (talk) 13:15, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Bearcat and think we are perhaps splitting legal hairs here. While I do think that the circumstantial evidence strongly suggests that this school never got off the ground, it's a moot point. As of this post all of the comments and !votes agree that the subject of the article fails basic tests for notability including V and should be deleted. I see little to be gained by debating a point that is irrelevant to the end result of this AfD and cannot be conclusively proven one way or another with available sources. May I respectfully suggest we move on? -Ad Orientem (talk) 13:33, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While a fascinating read, this article does not seem to stand up to actual scrutiny. I'm not sure if it's either a well-written hoax or self-published original research, but this does not seem to be an actual notable controversy. The sources cited here are simply the facts and statistics from which the OR was cobbled together, and my attempts to find other sources just brought up blogs or forums which seemed to base all information only on this Wikipedia page. The original author seems to have stopped editing, otherwise perhaps he or she could clear some of this up. Yaksar (let's chat) 21:59, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • For those, like me, who attempt to find better sources but aren't sure if they're not simply based off of the OR in this article, have a look at the publishing dates and the choice of what information is written.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:08, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oof, wait, maybe I spoke to soon, may have found something. Regardless, the article will need a complete renovation considering it is all just OR, but the story may not actually be baseless, and it looks like I may be retracting this AfD. I'm looking into it.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:13, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Update I sound like I'm talking to myself like a crazy person. But it does seem that there are reliable sources that mention, some just in passing, that Eisenhower played in the minor leagues. However, the "controversy" may be what was OR and not notable enough for its own page. There's a Chicago Tribune article that discusses the controversy, but we'd need another reliable source basing it off more than just the wikipedia entry to decide if the topic was worth an article of its own.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:19, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep -- Sorry everyone, I'd like to retract this AfD. While the article is poorly done and only uses OR as sources, there does seem to be enough information available from reliable sources to keep this. It may work better not as a standalone article, but I'll see how it turns out. Sorry for the trouble.--Yaksar (let's chat) 22:23, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Recreation of an article deleted at AfD last year. Still doesn't seem to clearly meet WP:NFILM or WP:GNG. Boleyn (talk) 19:08, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

no Disagree - I'm not an editor of the article and is unrelated to the article but if you look at the contributions of the articles creator you will understand that he has made a lot of similar articles which has not been (not yet) marked for deletion, doesn't his suggest something? If you don't see thing the same way I do, feel free to state your counter argument but i strongly disagree for the deletion of this article (and the other similar articles too, if proposed for deletion). This article is widening Wikipedia:WikiProject_India and more over Wikipedia:WikiProject Kerala. (Rovinemessage) 20:00, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at the previous nomination for deletion of this article too. (Rovinemessage) 20:02, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment part of the problem may be the title given by the creator of the article. While usually listed as Purappadu in India, it is Purappad at IMDb. The other problem is that Indian newspapers which would have covered it are not online for 1990. The consensus in India seems to be that despite having a lot of star quality actors in it and getting a big send up (large advertising budget) that it was a flop at the box office. Nonetheless, it is treasured for some of its songs (like Doore Doore) and as part of the creative work of Mammootty and Sithara. It is one of the thirteen Malayalam films listed by David Courtney at "Indian Film Events and the Year 1990". "Purappadu" refers to "a character's entrance" in a play or during a religious ceremony, and has a particular meaning in classical Indian dance. --Bejnar (talk) 20:33, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Always tough finding sources for 1990 India films, Malayalam language of that era even tougher. As we can at least verify title and director, let's redirect this title to notable director Jeassy. Schmidt, Michael Q. 03:34, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree the sourcing is poor, but that's the case for a lot of Indian films from that period, even Bollywood. Generally with a notable cast of actors and director this should be acceptable on here, but we also need to demonstrate some sort of coverage. It would be good if a Malayalam speaker could find the native title and some sources in Malayalam as I'm pretty sure it would have sources for it in Malayalam newspapers etc.♦ Dr. Blofeld 07:01, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I'm satisfied that an entry in the Malayalam Film Encyclopedia and the fact that it has a notable cast a crew (particular the cinematographer and the lyricist O. N. V. Kurup who are eminent personalities in the industry) that this meets guidelines for films on here. 90% of Indian films have poor sourcing in English online. Are we to delete them all or try to nurture them into better articles and try to encourage Indian editors to visit libraries and research in newspapers? I'm sure given time such films will have coverage in English books. I know a lot of the old Hindi ones gradually are.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:59, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A search for പുറപ്പാട് throws up many results. A lot are for other meanings of Exodus, but a lot are clearly for this film. It is by a major director and has a star-studded cast. On that basis, it is reasonable to assume notability. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:43, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree it is difficult to find many high-quality sources from national newspapers for Malayalam films of that period. But the film appears to be a popular one from that industry, so I am sure that a Malayali speaking editor may help us find some local sources in the language.-- KRIMUK90  14:23, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. You needed a Malayali's opinion, you got one :> You wouldn't find, unfortunately, malayalam language publishings in the 90's internet as it a language spoken only in South India (though by around 35 million+) and not a general medium of communication like English or Chinese for someone to sit down a create their ASCII values. It was only in the early 2000s that soft scripts of malayalam became easily available for typing and publishing on the internet and even more time for malayalam newspapers to publish soft daily copies. But , regarding the film , it should be noted that the film has won state awards and is mentioned in the Government's PRD website. Also apart from all lead actors, directors , singers being higly appreciated for their contribution towards malayam cinema , it is also one of the early noted films of the lead actor Mammootty , who went on to receive one of the highest civilian awards by the Indian Government ,the Padma Shri .So, too many notable people involved in the film to be consider for deletion.

This article was already deleted in January after an AFD discussion, but was now recreated. I don't know if the new article is "substantially different" from the deleted one, so I don't want to use speedy deletion. The main problem seams to be the Notability. Sources are poor, not reliable, not independent. The author is probably the subject himself (WP:Autobiography). The photo in the article (File:Ck Morgan (Golden).jpg) is uploader's "own work", and since I can't find it anywhere on the web, my conclusion is that the uploader is CK Morgan himself.

This is an article about the characters of the book. By the way, it is misspelled, the book title is "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas".

I propose to Merge this article to Florida Gators football. While there is no doubt in my mind that the subject award is notable per WP:GNG, having received significant media coverage when it was started and with every subsequent inductee, this article lacks the substance of a stand-alone article and always will. The subject has been artificially separated from its natural parent article, Florida Gators football, and should be merged with a section-specific redirect thereto. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 17:22, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The article was created by an enthusiastic Gators fan, and I won't fault him for that. Too often in sports-related AfDs, we focus only on whether the subject satisfies the specific and/or general notability guidelines while forgetting that notability is only the first step. For some subjects such as this one, it makes more sense to combine them with other closely related topics in order to provide the reader with a wider perspective on the subject area. There is a section of awards and honors for Gator football players in the parent article, and the description and list of honorees for this award belongs at the top of that section.

  • Cbl, I considered using both an article talk page discussion and the proposed merger venue. The article has fewer than 30 watchers, and only two substantive (non-category, non-vandalism) text edits (one by myself included) in the last three years, and I fear that any talk page discussion simply will not attract any attention. As a practical matter, no discussion has closed at the proposed merger page in three months. I do not believe there is any policy that precludes using AfD to accomplish a merge, and as we all know the practical difference between a delete, a redirect and a merge is a pretty fine line. I also considered just doing it boldly myself, but I figured AfD would be the venue where I could get the most eyes on the article, probably with the most CFB expertise, in the quickest possible manner. AfDs are usually closed in 7 to 14 days, talk page merge discussions for minor articles never close (if they even attract any participation), and the merge page, well, it's currently running 90 days behind on non-controversial, unopposed merges. If this AfD strikes you as inappropriate under the circumstances, I will withdraw this AfD. Thoughts? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:29, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand your thinking, but I am wary of using the AfD procedure on an article that admittedly satisfies notability standards. On balance, I don't think AfD should be used to expedite a merger discussion. Even if it is slow or unwieldy, merger discussions (where both articles meet notability standards) should be dealt with by the established merger procedure. Cbl62 (talk) 20:10, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Cbl62: How about we keep this AfD open for a couple more days, and then transfer the whole discussion to the article talk page? You could then administratively close the AfD as "no consensus," etc., without prejudice to the talk page discussion . . . would that satisfy your procedural concerns? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - While I appreciate that a topic like this might be best handled within the context of a section of the related team, in this case Florida Gators football is already a sprawling, nearly unreadable piece. It makes perfectly good sense for a detailed "subsidiary" topic like this to exist to help keep that root article from being even more overblown and cluttered. I don't think anyone would really argue that this is not a notable topic — or at least I don't hear that coming from the nominator. I suggest that a withdrawal of the AfD nomination might be appropriate here. Carrite (talk) 15:34, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Carrite: A quick review of the "sprawling" Florida Gators football article revealed two large lists within the parent article that duplicated existing stand-alone list articles (List of Florida Gators football seasons and List of Florida Gators football All-Americans). The duplicate/redundant text has now been removed from the parent article, with the insertion of brief introductions and links to the stand-alone articles now inserted. This is how article spin-offs are supposed to work: large sections that can provide the substantive content for stand-alone articles or lists are spun off with links to and from the parent article. In the case of this brief article for the Ring of Honor, you can readily see that it has a fraction of the content of these other two spin-offs. In fact, a couple of three- to five-sentence paragraphs of content from this article could appropriately be inserted and replace the section entitled "Retired jersey numbers," with no appreciable increase in the size of the parent article. Given that inductions into the Ring of Honor happen very infrequently (e.g., Heisman trophy winners, national championship coaches, Pro Football Hall of Fame inductees, etc.), this section is not likely to grow much any time soon, either. It's really where this brief award content belongs. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:06, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non notable company, the awards are not what they appear: for example, in 2011 there were several dozen International Green award winners in various categories.

  • Keep - I am a bit perplexed at this nomination. The awards might not be very important, but awards aren'tr necessary for notability.

  • Delete. Notability failure. References 1-3 are dead links, 4 is a passing mention and 5 is a disallowed blog. No other significant topic coverage found in reliable independent sources.  Philg88 talk 07:06, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The article was a trainwreck. It still needs a lot of work, but after a few changes just now at least it resembles something encyclopedic. My connection is terrible right now so I still have a lot more digging to do, but I do have to say I'm surprised finding sources isn't easier here. This is a meme that flies by my eyeballs on social media or in conversation at least a couple times a year since 2006. --— Rhododendrites talk |  23:16, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep - Given the Tosh.0, Howard Stern, Web Junk 20, and other less impressive coverage (even if their links are presently dead -- I'll get around to fixing that), and the high likelihood of additional sources (admittedly influenced by my own pre-AfD familiarity with the subject), I'd say it passes WP:GNG. Conceding "weak" for now, but hoping to change that when I or someone else can find more sources. --— Rhododendrites talk |  23:16, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -- If kept, this should be renamed to The Spirit of Truth (program). As Spirit of Truth is a reference to the Holy Spirit. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:31, 10 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that there is a problem with the title. For many Christians the Spirit of Truth is a reference to the Holy Spirit, for some Native Americans it is a reference to the spirit of the Earth or the spirit of the Universe, and for some Hindus it refers to universal compassion. Bartzokas. Compassion: The Spirit of Truth. And of course there is the idiom, without caps, meaning "the intention" of the document as opposed to the exact specifications.--Bejnar (talk) 02:05, 13 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete it has been two weeks and none of the sources that Rhododendrites suggested might exist have been forthcoming. So absent adequate reliable sources, this fails WP:GNG. See my comment above about not using this title if recreated. --Bejnar (talk) 17:19, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep Neutral Most of the citations have now been rescued, and I have added a link to the assessment (status: confirmed) at Know Your Meme. However, notability still seems borderline to me, and KYM rather than Wikipedia is a suitable resting-place for dead memes. If not deleted, it should be renamed as agreed above, e.g. "The Spirit of Truth (television)". – Fayenatic London 19:54, 22 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

While practitioners Bodenhamer and Margolina, and a couple of others, mention or use the hexagon, it has not caught on so as to meet the paradigm equivalent of WP:ACADEMIC#1.

  • Keep In my opinion the page should be kept live for improvement. I found that two of the largest and most prestigious stuttering communities in the world (the British Stammering Association and the National Stuttering Association) support the Stuttering Hexagon. Both Harrison and Alan Badmington have delivered Keynotes to those conventions about the Stuttering Hexagon.

A long text about history of a single department of a Dutch university. The university is clearly notable. It is divided into faculties, they may be notably, though there is not a single article about a faculty of the University of Groningen. The faculties in the Dutch system are divided into departments, which in some exceptional situations can be notable (for example, the one I am working at is notable).

Notability concerns. Engineeringletters.com (as listed in the ref) is ranked at #4,902,405 on Alexa, showing it's not reliable at all. Other references (mainly theses) cannot be the sole evidences proving the notability of this person, and the links to some university websites look not satisfying. I tried to search around the web but no Chinese and English news reports or third-party introductions were found. Note: I've also started a deletion proposal in the Chinese Wikipedia out of the above reasons.

Nfitz. Quite a few major problems with your sourcing. Firstly, the daily post is a regional paper in Wales. Not even national level for a tiny country. You are well aware that that level of reporting doesn'tget close to ggnu. Almost all local papers report on low league teams. The third source is dire t from uefa and is a primary source promoting one of their own competitions. The final source is routine match reporting on the BBC and is extremely brief at that. Fenix down (talk) 20:25, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The final report is quite routine I admit, but otherwise the sources are quite acceptable. The Daily Post is one of only a half-dozen Welsh daily's. I'm not aware of any national Welsh papers. If you looking for a higher non-existent standard then there are WP:BIAS concerns. Nfitz (talk) 13:51, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
They are still reports from regional papers, such coverage is legion throughout British football. A higher standard would perhaps be a national paper? As wales is part of Britain, I would start by trying to find coverage at that level perhaps. Seems obvious to me. It also seems obvious that it is unhelpful to through accusations of bias around without elaborating. I presume as you did not that your comment was not serious.

While there is a good article about 1920s South Dakota-class battleships, six of which were laid down but all cancelled prior to launching, the articles about individual ships offer very little (if any) additional information because all ships of the class were cancelled before launching. Apart from slight differences in dates, photographs and minor trivia (e.g. here), they have practically identical content. It is also extremely unlikely that these articles would ever be expanded from their current state. Thus, any information deemed worth keeping could be included in the main class article and the individual ship articles should be deleted.) Tupsumato (talk) 08:05, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect - longstanding practice for unfinished warships is to redirect them to the class article, barring a few notable exceptions, Japanese battleship Tosa being one example.

    Oh, I completely missed that. I just checked that the articles had existed for year, but failed to notice that it wasn't until yesterday that the redirects were expanded into "real" articles. For this reason, I also failed to notify the user responsible for that. Thus, I propose reverting the articles back to redirects. Regardless, I guess it's ok to have this discussion.

  • Hi 85 GT Kid. Thanks for your contributions to the project! The reason these articles are likely going to be deleted is explained in the comments above and the various links to guidelines. Whether or not there are other articles that also fail to meet those guidelines is irrelevant. See WP:OTHERSTUFF. Please don't take it personally when articles are edited, redirected, merged or deleted. It's all part of the process of trying to build an online encyclopedia. BTW if you haven't gotten around there yet, there is a Wiki project for editors with an interest in ships and all things maritime. See WP:SHIPS.

One press release announced that he had recently discussed his Wikipedia page on his radio show [25] (wow), but I did not find anything usable. As for his radio show, its website lists a large number of affiliates, mostly small Christian stations and college stations, but it's a one-way reference. I didn't find any examples of affiliate station websites that mention his show. It looks to me like just an early morning filler program for small stations (at best).

Article fails the general notability guideline and WP:WEB and ultimately should not have an article. However, it does not qualify for an A7 as it makes a claim of significance and my PROD was contested.

  • Keep. It is reasonable to believe there is plenty of coverage of this company in its history, including off-line sources. The article states it is a company that has existed since 1891. (And apparently it was started in 1891 to provide rugged outdoor boots for Alaskan gold-rushers, per nominator's link to a Kent reporter article). It's "Western Chief" brand, one of its six brands, is quite a major brand. There are reviews of its Western Chief products in major newspapers. There's a 110-year-old Washington Shoe Building in the Pioneer Square area of Seattle which was subject of some controversy in 2000 (see "In Seattle, a Cobbler's Legacy Is Being Repaired", by King, Harriet New York Times, Late Edition (East Coast) [New York, N.Y] 13 Aug 2000: 11.7. Photo of the building was included with the NYT article, including: "Mr. Israel was criticized for decades for letting his buildings decay. Ironically, Samis this summer received bad press when it refused to renew leases in the 110-year-old, six-story Washington Shoe Building at Occidental and South Jackson so that it could start rehabbing the building into apartments or offices. / Street-level tenants -- an antiques store, a picture-frame boutique, an art gallery and a kite shop -- reluctantly moved out. And so did artists who had been living illegally in studios on the five upper floors that were not in compliance with building codes."
Example hits on "Western Chief" and ("boot" or "shoe") in a major newspapers literature search for just recent times:
    • "Catalog Critic: Puddle Protection" by Charles Passy. Wall Street Journal, Eastern edition [New York, N.Y] 04 Feb 2000: W4.
    • "Stormy weather? Take it in stride with spot-on rain boots" by Donahue, Wendy. Chicago Tribune [Chicago, Ill] 06 Apr 2014: 23.
    • "50 UNDER $50 Put the light in someone's eyes with gifts that won't lighten your wallet too much" Anonymous. New York Daily News [New York, N.Y] 11 Dec 2008: 28.
I expect that searches of historical newspapers would provide more, and that as a major company there will be plenty in Seattle histories. I'll stop with this much found by me, for now. --doncram 20:45, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All I can find on the actual company is an article noting they have a contract with Warner Brothers to release licensed boots and the already linked article from the Kent Reporter.

Thanks for the information. I added a section on the court case to the article, and Washington Shoe Co. v. A-Z Sporting Goods Inc. now redirects to that. I added other info to the article, may add about the significant building as another section, too. I continue to believe that there is extensive coverage, in total, over 120 years, mostly not online, about this company, in addition to the building and courtcase topics (each of which could merit an article) so it is best to simply Keep the article, covering them all. --doncram 21:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep This 1916 book, History of Seattle from the Earliest Settlement to the Present Time, Volume 2 says " SHOE FACTORY The Washington Shoe Manufacturing Company was incorporated January 24, 1891, with L. B. Allain, president; T. J. Thorsen, vice president and general manager, and G. M. Barber, secretary. This company opened Seattle's first real shoe factory at 807-09 Western Avenue, where it had installed modern machinery. By devoting its energies toward the making of high grade heavy boots and shoes, designed especially to meet the requirements of the outdoor workers of Western Washington, it soon built up a good business. Other grades of shoes were added and within five years the company had found it necessary to seek larger quarters at Second Avenue South and Jackson Street. The company now occupies a large factory building in the south end of the city and its product is sold all over the northwestern states." which is significant coverage of the company. 98 years later, the company is still in business.

  • Keep Per generally accepted outcomes, a diplomat at this level is inherently notable because they are part of the diplomatic history between two sovereign nations. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 02:03, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Withdrawing my !vote, since apparently WP:DIPLOMAT was removed with what looks like minimal consensus (!) I don't remember seeing an RFC about it, but if the threshold for high-level diplomats is now GNG then I'd rather not have a say in this AFD. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 05:30, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it's very much overdue for resolution and wish I knew whose ass to light a fire under to get it done, trust me. But even when it was an active guideline, it still didn't confer an automatic presumption of notability on all diplomats regardless of the quality of sourcing that was actually present. Bearcat (talk) 05:33, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
no, ambassadors are not inherently notable, in fact several articles have been deleted. LibStar (talk) 13:21, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Per generally accepted outcomes, a diplomat at this level is notable if they are actually the subject of sufficient reliable source coverage to get them past WP:GNG — but is not entitled to keep an unsourced or primary sourced article just because they exist. Bearcat (talk) 05:25, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:NPOL is not the standard that a diplomat has to meet — that guideline's exclusion of diplomats means that it's not the test by which the notability of a diplomat is measured, and not that diplomats are never considered notable. Rather, until the dispute over the separate notability guideline for diplomats is resolved, a diplomat has to pass WP:GNG, not NPOL. She still doesn't meet that one either in the article's current form — but NPOL is not applicable to diplomats one way or the other, so failing to meet NPOL has nothing to do with anything.

I was close to nominate this article for speedy deletion under WP:A9, but then I noticed that it does have some assertion of significance. I still think that it should be deleted because it lacks Notability. The article claims that the album debuted on #6 on the "independent charts", but does not explain what charts, nor does it cite any source. By the way, it seams that the article is written by the artist himself. Vanjagenije (talk) 00:18, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article's references are PR pieces, directory entries and other fluffy and cuddly things, but there is no significant coverage, which is independent of the subject, and is in WP:RS. While the draft was at WP:AFC the sole editor and reviewer was the author. This has not led to a well constructed and well referenced article about a notable person. Fails WP:PROF, fails WP:AUTHOR. Fiddle Faddle 09:51, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, User:Timtrent. Sitanshu Yashaschandra is notable person in Gujarati literature but there are not many English language sources covering him. I had to use web sources as I cant access google book on my mobile (I edit from mobile phone mostly). If you have problem with notability, he is recipient of Padma Shri 2006, award given by Government of India for notable contributions in related field.(have news source in article) and Sahitya Akademi Award which is the highest literature award(ref of government website). Search in Find Sources: books above. It may confirm that he is notable person. Is it Ok? -Nizil (talk) 17:37, 11 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete The vast majority of the references in this article are from one website, MMARising. In order to retain this article, one would need to add references from other reliable sources to demonstrate the notability of the subject. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 06:57, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment As the article creator, I abide by the Wikipedia rules and will accept whatever consensus is reached here. I want to comment, however, about why there are more citations from MMARising than other sources. If there is a skew towards that website is because it's a reliable source in English and the English Wikipedia favors sources in this language over others when they are available. The majority of sources that give her in-depth coverage before her UFC signing are in Japanese, and, therefore, are mostly not included within the article.
    On the notability of the subject, I will offer no voted opinion because, being the creator, I have a subjective perception, and I don't plan to add more sources or edit the article more than what I already did in the past to improve it. I was well aware that she may or may not meet the WP:MMANOT criteria depending on how the MMA promotion Valkyrie (where she became champion at the time the article was created) was cataloged (which wasn't or was top-tier for women's MMA, as it was one of only two WMMA promotions before it disappeared). With only English-language sources, I believe she meets the basic criteria of people, but not the basic criteria for athletes, unless one looks deeper into printed and TV media in Japan, which is not easily available even with the Internet. In any case, I see no problem if the article is deleted since there is a MMA wiki where the article can be moved without problems and if she ever meets the current criteria the article can easily be restored. Jfgslo (talk) 19:20, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that she has signed with the UFC although not fought yet. I could suggest you userfy the article and wait until she has had a couple of fights. If someone has a winning record in a top tier organization the article tends to be kept on the assumption that the chance of meeting WP:MMANOT will be met.Peter Rehse (talk) 19:45, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep With all due respect your opinion whether he is notable or not is irrelevant. Is there a policy that this article does not meet? This article isn't sourced the best but that can be fixed easily. It's not a common thing for a soldier to go AWOL because he opposes to the war.

I've tried to add some categories, but I see this as a not terribly accurate or notable list. The first two films, Grease and American Graffiti are indeed set in the years indicated: but in the latter film, Paul LeMat's main character is older, and isn't even in school - several of the main characters graduated from the same class, but that's as far as it goes. Dazed and Confused is split between a graduating class of 76 and freshmen entering the same year (so maybe this should be listed twice?) Nowhere in the too-lengthy plot outline for Romy and Michele's High School Reunion does it say that this is the class of 87: it's just that the film was released in 1997 and the main action takes place at a ten-year reunion. Apparently, the video for "It's All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix)" was dedicated to a class - so what? I could go on but I believe what we have here is both trivial and in some cases, inaccurate original research, and should be deleted as such.

Not just product or theme timeline, but when the company started and what happen that made important decisions depending on the year. History of Lego page is just a 'VERY' general information. It does not list or state important details that lead to major events. Please understand there is a difference between Lego as the brand or product, and the history of the Lego company and The Lego Group. If the Lego timeline is deleted. The information of important events, themes, products and people within the company will be gone for good. I don't know what is wrong having a timeline listing major events/themes about the company and not just about the toy Lego. GoTLG (talk) 01:41, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, and maybe revisit after a year has passed. It is a first article created by a new editor, and wp:BITE applies. Per discussion at the creating editor's Talk page, it was then being created as part of a wikimedia event, the Western Cape Libraries edit-a-thon. The article seems perfectly factual. There are many articles about individual libraries. It can be asserted that "wikipedia-notability" of this particular library is not yet established in the article. So it would be nice if the editor could try to find other coverage of the topic in newspaper or other sources separate from the library's own publications, to add to the article. Is the building historical or distinctive in any way? Anyhow, keep for now. --doncram 01:37, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a small thing that could be added: The library has a monthly "literary tea", e.g. where long-time journalist first-time author Claire Robertson discusses her novel "The Spiral house" (about the tea); the book was favorably reviewed in the Cape Times (copy of review here). So I am sure by the way that there will be multiple mentions of the library in newspapers, at least in calendars for hosting of events like this.
Also, I tried a Google search and found some articles (one involving "Cakes"?) there, but the link from Google goes to the Cape Times website where it wants me to create a one-week trial account. Maybe at this link or maybe that is a temporary link. Someone else could/should search the Cape Times for articles having significant coverage of the library. Given that the new editor probably did not try this, and given that there quite likely is coverage there, I say Keep unless or until someone with access checks and says that the library is not notable. --doncram 01:52, 23 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - For much the same reasons as mentioned by Doncram. Also this article falls within WP:LOCAL and although there is not unanimity on this issue I feel it does give weight to the argument for keeping it.--Discott (talk) 11:14, 25 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep. Not a lot found online, but there's a brief bio and review from Allmusic ([34], [35]) and a review from CMJ New Music Report. Also a CMJ chart placing ([36]).

WP:BLP of a person notable only as a comptroller at the county level of government, with exclusively minor local issues for substance. While there is sourcing here, all of it is exclusively local media in his own county — and thus fails to demonstrate any substantive reason why he warrants permanent coverage in an encyclopedia with an international scope and readership. Politicians at the county level of government, in fact, often are not deemed to meet WP:POLITICIAN for this reason. Delete. Bearcat (talk) 03:10, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete, lots of coverage for only being in office less than two years, but all very local. He holds an elected position, but it is purely a local one (county). As a result, he does fail WP:Politician. Does he meet WP:GNG instead? I think not quite enough or in depth enough. Coverage of him as news anchor for channel WGRZ is sparse, but I did find this "Mychajliw Replacing O’Loughlin on Ch.2" about a later on talk show. --Bejnar (talk) 18:44, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly-sourced WP:BLP of a person "notable" only as a not-yet-elected candidate in a future election — which, as usual and ad nauseam, is not a claim of notability that passes WP:POLITICIAN. Under normal circumstances, a person must actually win the election to qualify for an article on Wikipedia — to get an article in advance of winning office, a politician must (a) have preexisting notability for other things that would get them past a different notability guideline, or (b) explode into a sustained national or international news story on the order of Christine O'Donnell. Neither of which has been demonstrated here. So he'll qualify for an article if he wins the election in November, but is not entitled to keep a campaign brochure on Wikipedia in the meantime. Delete.
