I don't really think that the number of covers for a magazine a model gets is a defining characteristic of their career. Only source is a forum. Not really encyclopedic. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 23:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong delete per nom and WP:OR as well. Where are these numbers coming from? They don't even agree with the forum list, which is itself not a reliable source (e.g. Gisele Bündchen is credited with 118 there and 125 on this list). What a hot mess posing as a suitable Wikipedia page. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:19, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge - I'd like sources for this, but if these are reliable numbers, I think the information could find a place on List of Vogue cover models, which is a hot mess in and of itself and I have no idea what they were going for with the formatting, but this is information that people find interesting. I don't think we need to delete the information from wikipedia. However, I don't think it needs its own page. Bali88 (talk) 21:44, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (if necessary, WP:IAR)  We could talk about breakout articles, and WP:ATD, but the simple answer IMO is that a standalone article is a good organization within the encyclopedia for this topic.  Unscintillating (talk) 03:38, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am surprised by the responses here. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. It is shown through multiple, reliable sources where this piece of the space probe is the subject of the article. No one has provided any sources that would remotely validate that this subject meets notability criterion. The keep votes are based on criteria like a link to a primary source on the NASA website and the fact that the page is linked to in a template, but these arguments have no basis in Wikipedia policy. CorporateM (Talk) 14:17, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I can see several reliable sources in the article and aside from sourcing the nominator gave no convincing arguments for deletion. The claim that it is not notable because it is an "individual part" of something else is utter nonsense. --W. D. Graham 18:03, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested PROD. Concern was Article about a footballer who fails WP:GNG and who has not played in a fully pro league. PROD was contested on the grounds that the Japanese version of article is well referenced. This does not address the underlying notability concerns. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:16, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment According to Football Lab, Sakai is currently playing for the J-22 team that plays in J-League Division 3 (J3 League) and has appeared in at least 2 matches. The J-22 team is made up of the best U-22 players on J-1 and J-2 teams. The J3 League started this year and my understanding is that it is fully professional, but WikiProject Football has still not included it in their list of fully professional leagues WP:FPL. Perhaps the Project hasn't gotten around to it? Michitaro (talk) 00:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - player who has not played in a fully professional league nor senior international football so fails WP:NFOOTY still stands. No indication of any other achievements garner significant reliable coverage to pass WP:GNG either. J3 may be fully pro, but there is no consensus to date that it is. Fenix down (talk) 06:52, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:NFOOTBALL. GiantSnowman 18:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete - After researching this some more, it seems that J3 League is more complicated than I thought. While all the teams are members of the Japan Professional Football League, and are thus professional teams, the rules are more relaxed compared to J1 and J2, so some teams can have amateurs, even though most of the players are professional. J3 is thus a more complex phenomenon than can be dealt with here. As the rules now stand, he fails WP:NFOOTBALL. It is a bit more complicated with regard to WP:GNG. Since he comes from a famous family of soccer and judo players, he has gotten more coverage than one would expect of someone at this stage in his career. Some of the following are significant RS, and even those that are not significant coverage use his name in the headline: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]. I even found this YouTube video of a TV show featuring him: [9]. My concern is that his notability at this stage is, in a sense, inherited from his family. So far, he has not yet shown independent notability. That is the reason I am voting "weak delete". Michitaro (talk) 01:52, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Michitaro's extensive list of references makes me think more weak keep than delete. Bottom line is it is more than he's got extensive media coverage for just being related to famous people. If he wasn't playing on a mostly-professional team he wouldn't be getting this level of coverage. But he does, much of it meets WP:GNG and it's not difficult to find even more examples such as [10]. Nfitz (talk) 20:30, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete notability is not inherited, so lots of mentions without significant coverage doesn't pass WP:GNG. Add article when he is on a fully qualifying team, or when he has depth of coverage, not breath. --Bejnar (talk) 22:45, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to this article's only reference, this guy isn't even a player anymore, having not even played in the minor leagues since 2011 and never having made it to the majors. Instead, he has apparently become an agent, but due to his very small number of clients (four according to the reference), he obviously is nowhere near as notable as an agent like Scott Boras, for example. I definitely do not believe that he is notable enough to have an article, at least at this time. If he becomes a major agent representing a lot of clients, his article can be recreated, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and he does not meet notability requirements at this time. --A guy saved by Jesus (talk) 20:32, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I don't have access to the paper sources, but none of them look to be an address book, Wikipedia, or a related article. I've no idea how deeply, if at all, this topic is covered in those sources, but it certainly looks notable and I am familiar with at least one of the authors. Hobit (talk) 01:46, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep  WP:Verifiability does not require that sources be online.  This appears to be a well-referenced and written article.  Unscintillating (talk) 04:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Keep At least two of the references are from reliable sources and available online (now linked). I've also added the Chinese name and discovered there are a vast number of inter-wiki language links, many of which are referenced in their specific language.  Philg88 talk 04:39, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. What a strange article! Quote (with emphases added): Holy Communion — The Holy Communion is the sacrament to commemorate the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. It enables us to partake of the flesh and blood of our Lord and to be in communion with Him so that we can have eternal life and be raised on the last day. This sacrament shall be held as often as possible. Only one unleavened bread and grape juice shall be used. This seems curiously "in-universe". I had an odd hunch about it, too. Sure enough, Google shows that tjc.org serves up: The Holy Communion is the sacrament to commemorate the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. It enables us to partake of the flesh and blood of our Lord and to be in communion with Him so that we can have eternal life and be raised on the last day. This sacrament shall be held as often as possible. Only one unleavened bread and grape juice shall be used. At the bottom of that page, we read "Copyright © 2014 True Jesus Church" together with a link to the site's legal mumbo jumbo page. The latter has nothing about "public domain", "Creative Commons", "GFDL", "copyleft", etc; to the contrary, it says: any use of these materials on any other Web sites or networked computer environment for any purpose is expressly prohibited. I infer that much of this article should be deleted as a copyright violation. As for the rest, it makes some non-trivial claims. Among these, that TJC is currently one of the largest Christian groups in China and Taiwan. This claim about 2014 is attributed to a book published seven years previously and titled The Future of Pentecostalism in the United States. We're not told the publisher but we are told the ISBN. Amazon hasn't heard of it. Copac hasn't heard of it. Worldcat says it's an ebook, published by Lexington, which looks legitimate. It's a collection of papers; who wrote this paper and what's its title? All in all, if an article on this subject is warranted, then given how recently its predecessor was deleted, this new version seems very slapdash. -- Hoary (talk) 13:26, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Strange indeed, but I'm not sure that the quoted text can be a copyvio since it is a summary of the communion rites of Christian religion and no doubt recorded in hundreds of documents throughout history. In other words, TJC don't hold the copyright in the first place.  Philg88 talk 14:03, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But even when ideas are centuries old, their expression can't be assumed to be in the public domain. Google for the string Only one unleavened bread and grape juice shall be used, and you just get a three-figure total of hits, all seemingly derived from TJC. (In view of this, I'm about to delete the material.) -- Hoary (talk) 23:26, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(i) Perhaps if the 10 beliefs are each summarized in 1-3 sentences then it would be acceptable? For example, the Beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church are summarized based on their 28 Fundamental Beliefs and at the bottom of that pdf document it reads: "Copyright © 2013, General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists". --Jose77 (talk) 01:48, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(ii) User:Hoary mentioned the statement "given how recently its predecessor was deleted...". Not all readers of Wikipedia understand how to edit a page and where to leave their opinions. If you looked at the first afd of this article, you would see that someone had left his remarks Here instead of on the main afd page and as a result it had gone unnoticed by other readers. Had he known where to properly place his comments then the outcome may have been different today. --Jose77 (talk) 02:15, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • And an additional comment. Above, C.Z. Lee advises people "new to Wikipedia" on "how to vote". C.Z. Lee's own contributions are new and few (for admins only, here's the first), which may explain why he/she doesn't realize that it's not a matter of voting. -- Hoary (talk) 23:26, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Hmm, so it appears that the deletion No. 1 was a poorly attended reaction to the global puffery Jose77 has invested in these semi-spam articles and the AFD ignoring the opinion of User:Peterkingiron who in the past I have found qualified in these subjects. Nevertheless the benchmark isn't how articles are but what is in Google Books. Enough references like Melton (anything in Melton is notable) or sources like Francis Khek Gee Lim - Christianity in Contemporary China 2013 - Page 186 "The main congregations are the 'True Jesus Church' (Zhen Yesujiao) and the 'Group of the Shouters' (Huhanpai)... etc. mean this article should be kept, but kept on Watchlists to stop it turning into giant peacock piece again. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:56, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep -- this article has been dodgy in the past and may become so again in the future. But now its claims are decently sourced. Incidentally, is this the true church of Jesus (真[[耶稣][教会]], cf all the fake churches); or is it instead the church of the true Jesus [真[耶稣]]教会, cf all the fake Jesuses)? -- Hoary (talk) 13:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Judging from Melton in 1917 it meant the church as compared to other churches. Now we know this AFD is closing as keep, I've watchlisted it, added more sources, started Talk:True Jesus Church and notified WP Christianity looking for a couple of other watchlisters. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:17, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Obvious keep -- " TJC is currently one of the largest Christian groups in China and Taiwan". This is a denomination, not a local congregation (such as we often delete). With churches other than Three Self (and Catholics) existing on the margins of legality, or even beyond it, the chances of finding on-line sources on it must be limited. I understand there to be about 5 networks of underground (illicit) house churches in China that are to some extent tolerated, but strongly discouraged from uniting. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. His main claim to fame seems to be being a member of Toehider, a band of very unclear notability whose article just leads back here. Coverage provided is pretty much either not independent of Mills or his band, or comes from blogs or other sources that don't meet WP:RS. There looks like some session work there, and there's enough that he's probably pretty good at what he does, but I'm not seeing how he passes any of the notability criteria at WP:MUSIC or WP:CREATIVE.

Several searches have failed to turn up detailed discussion of this person, although there are a number of very brief mentions of him. I've found no indication that he meets WP:ACADEMIC or WP:PEOPLE. The article also says he invented the Stroconn but this seems inaccurate although it was based in part on his work.[25] (which is the sort of brief mention I'm finding).

If that's all you've found, you haven't even followed up on the information already there. And you can't spell StroboConn. Funfree (talk) 15:03, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please read my explanation more carefully about what you need to show notability. I've read all the sources, they are among the trivial mentions I said exist. And I can spell Stroboconn (lowercase 'C' in the source I linked), that was a typo. Dougweller (talk) 15:16, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I'm reluctant to give up on this character, but the lengthiest source I have found is in a thesis or dissertation, and is on his being largely responsible for starting the Eastern Illinois band. For the Stroboconn (which may merit an article, but for now I have created a redirect), I see him given joint credit for the idea behind it, and I find a patent issued to him and cited in several subsequent patents. He appears to have taught at Eastern Illinois, completed his doctorate at Chicago while there and eventually become head of the physics department, done military service in WWII and returned to his job, and I see him as a faculty member at Brevard in the mid-1960s. But I suspect some of the colleges named in the article as it stands are erroneous, and I am not finding enough coverage to establish a solid biography, let alone enough to satisfy the general notability guideline. And neither the work leading to the Stroboconn nor starting the band are sufficient to meet more specialized notability guidelines. Please ping me if more substantial coverage is found, and I will then edit the article for coherence, tone, and reference identification. I'd like this to be saved, but our notability requirements are either that the person be of obvious importance (e.g.: won a Nobel) or that there is substantial independent coverage, and I have to concur with the nominator, I can't find it.

  • Keep - there is definitely a need to disambiguate between the two and I have added the missing link. But WP:2DABS is generally invoked on the basis that one subject is the "primary" subject and the other is the secondary, thus making a redirect to one and disambig to the other okay. California Polytechnic State University is probably the "bigger" college with more money and more land, but both have a student body of about the same size and an academic staff of about the same size too. The "community" likely looking for either institution would probably be about the same size I'm guessing. This would seem to be exactly the sort of exception that guideline refers to - "If there are only two topics to which a given title might refer, but neither one is the primary topic, or if both topics are obscure, then it is appropriate to have a disambiguation page at the base name". Both have references verifying the fact that each is referred to as "Cal Poly". With regard to the nomination, you could equally argue that traffic should be sent to California State Polytechnic University, Pomona which now includes a link to the other university.

  • Comment There's no "bullshit promotion" present. I've never seen a chemical article at AFD before, and I don't know what , but it is ... a chemical... it is something in nature... and there is a "CAS number" and if you click on that and go further, you get to 4 patents related to this chemical, and a number of papers in the literature studying it. For example, i found: "Ann N Y Acad Sci. 1995 Jun 12;761:56-65. Local inhibition of sebaceous gland growth by topically applied RU 58841. Matias JR1, Gaillard M....the abstract for this paper is:

The biological activity of a series of nonsteroidal, pure androgen receptor inhibitors was compared using the Syrian hamster ear skin sebaceous gland model. RU 58841, RU 56187, RU 38882 and cyproterone acetate were applied topically for 4 weeks on the ventral ear pinna of sexually mature male Syrian hamsters. Their order of efficacy was as follows: RU 58841 > RU 56187 > RU 38882 > cyproterone acetate. Maximal reduction of 60% in the size of the sebaceous glands was observed in hamsters treated with RU 58841 at a dose of 10 micrograms per day. This degree of inhibition occurred without any systemic side effects as shown by the absence of inhibition on the contralateral untreated ear pinna. Longer treatment did not produce greater inhibition since extending the treatment period from 4 weeks to 12 weeks showed similar data. The effect of RU 58841 was reversible since the inhibited sebaceous glands returned to normal size within 4 weeks after the cessation of the topical applications. The potent localized inhibition of sebaceous glands by RU 58841 demonstrates the excellent potential of this compound as a topical drug for the treatment of acne and other androgen-mediated disorders.

Frankly i don't know or care whether the research is right or wrong in its assessment of properties of this chemical, like whether or not it likely to be effective as acne treatment. But it is a basic thing, a chemical, and it is something that is studied. So it seems to me that it is obviously notable. Is there a wp:CHEMICAL-NOTABILITY standard or some other relevant guideline? Again i am not familiar with Wikipedia practices with respect to chemicals, but it seems to me that if a chemical exists, has a name, has been studied in literature, then it would seem obviously notable. So I stick with my "vote!" of "Speedy Keep" above, unless and until someone educates me differently. --doncram 05:35, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
you are right, doncram, i acknowledge that there was not and is not any bullshit promotion present. i was crabby when i wrote that, argh. sorry all. my point was that this is stuff is only "notable" for its being sold in a schlocky way as a hair growth product. Jytdog (talk) 14:08, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I don't know if those sources are of any value (there is some suggestion they are primary sources but I don't really understand that claim either) but I think there needs to be some separation between the the chemical and the pharmaceuticals subsequently created with that chemical as an active ingredient (or whatever term is used). We shouldn't be promoting the pharmaceutical applications with claims not supported by WP:MEDRS. But coverage of the chemical itself would seem to be okay. I think it's the former Jytdog objects to but the latter that doncram suggests should remain. Stalwart111 08:48, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It was invented as a drug candidate, and apparently picked up by internet shillers. As a drug candidate, it is health-related so we turn to MEDRS. The notability standard for anything health-related in WP:MEDRS is discussion in a peer-reviewed review article (secondary source), and as I said, we have nothing there.... Basic research articles, like the two that you found, Stalwart111, are primary sources and MEDRS warns against basing content (much less whole articles) on primary sources, even more strongly than WP:RS does. Jytdog (talk) 12:45, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I think we're at cross purposes a bit. I get that they are primary sources insofar as they provide conclusions about the pharmaceutical applications of the chemical and those conclusions would need interpretation. I agree we couldn't use those as sources for any medical claims which rely on our interpretation of those documents. But for the purposes of providing significant coverage in independent sources for the chemical itself (without any medical application claims) they are okay aren't they? I mean for the purposes of confirming the chemical exists and has a real-world application (as doncram suggests) those sources are okay? They can be used to create an article about the chemical with its basic facts but we couldn't use them as the basis of an article that makes any treatment claims. Have I got that right? (If not, where have I gone wrong?) Stalwart111 13:54, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep meets the general notability guideline, although what can be mentioned in the article partly depends on WP:MEDRS as mentioned. The first result in a PubMed search is described as a review, although not specifically about it, and there are others that appear to be similar[26][27] and mentions in a few books. I haven't searched very thoroughly, so it's likely that more can be found. Peter James (talk) 13:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Being discussed in the review article "Investigational medications in the treatment of alopecia" and being the subject of several primary sources is sufficient evidence of notability in my opinion. ChemNerd (talk) 14:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - A Google Scholar search finds at least one paper about this compound that gets 63 citations, so the chemical is of some interest to scientists. We can stay on the good side of WP:MEDRS by keeping medical claims out of the article. Even if this compound has no value in medicine it is biologically active and it sticks to androgen receptors. At present we can't even say that it has *applications* in medicine; such applications would require drug approval which has not been given. Note that we already have Category:Antiandrogens, which has entries for both drugs and non-drugs. It's hard to see an argument for deletion of the non-drugs.

  • Delete as failing WP:CORP. To answer your question, User:Redfhendrix, the way to prove the notability of a company is to show significant coverage by independent reliable sources. That means that the company has been significantly written about by third parties (newspapers, etc.) with a reputation for reliability. Things like blogs, press releases, etc. don't count; the company must have attracted significant coverage from independent reliable sources. If that coverage does not exist, then there is no amount of rewriting or adding unreliable sources that will get the article into shape to meet the guideline of WP:CORP. --MelanieN (talk) 19:49, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Personally, I think that the references posted: 1) Coverage as CBS partner at Comic-Con (Just added) and 2) Coverage as a funded/partnered business with Telefonica (Previously Cited) are sufficient proofs of notability.

Redfhendrix, you could request the closing administrator to "userfy" it to you. If they agree, that means it would be put in your own space, not part of the encyclopedia, where you could develop it. Once you think you have enough significant coverage to pass WP:CORP (consensus seems to be that you don't now; and I agree with that assessment; all you have from third-party sources is a few passing mentions, not significant coverage), you could ask that same closing administrator if it is sufficiently improved for you to repost it. --MelanieN (talk) 12:06, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This WP:TWODABS page does not list any unrelated topics; rather, it lists the general topic of the Cuisine of Hawaii, and a subtopic of that general topic, the Native cuisine of Hawaii. These topics are not ambiguous to one another in the way that, for example, the mythical phoenix is ambiguous to the Arizona city, Phoenix. This is amply demonstrated by the fact that Native Hawaiian cuisine is itself discussed in the general article on the Cuisine of Hawaii.

  • Speedy Keep per WP:SK: "nominations that are clearly an attempt to end an editing dispute through deletion, where dispute resolution is a more appropriate course". Andrew (talk) 06:50, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Andrew, I have no dispute, and have not engaged in this manner at all until I saw this clearly unambiguous topic show up on our list of problematic disambiguation pages. Please assume good faith with respect to my motives, and please consider the issue at hand - whether we need a "disambiguation page" that pretty clearly violates WP:TWODABS and WP:DABCONCEPT, and which creates errors that disambiguators must address. bd2412 T 14:51, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • You are proposing that the page be changed from being a dab page to being a redirect page. Deletion would be quite redundant and unnecessary in making this edit and so AFD is not an appropriate process and this discussion should be speedily closed per WP:SK. As for ambiguity, the current page content seems quite correct. The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink states that "Food of Hawaii can be separated into two categories: Hawaiian food, the food of the native islanders, and local food, the eclectic blend of the cuisines of later settlers." The Pacific Region states that "Two parallel cuisines developed: Hawaiian food associated with the Polynesians and haole food associated with the settlers from New England." As we have good sources supporting this content, it should be retained per our editing policy. If your real objection is some technical point about dab pages, then this may be resolved by ordinary editing as I shall demonstrate. Andrew (talk) 21:57, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • For what it's worth, those sources are a bit confused, but almost accurate. Food historians who write about Hawaii generally break down the two categories listed above into three, and the three categories into five, so when we talk about the cuisine of Hawaii, we are talking about five distinct styles, one of which is Polynesian or Native Hawaiian. The term "haole food" is not actually used. Post-contact cuisine includes that of the British, Americans, missionaries and whalers. The New England influence came from the American missionaries. "Local food" actually does not refer to the New England influence as your source seems to suggest, but to the later ethnic immigrant influence that arose in the plantations. "Local food" therefore, has a distinctive ethnic component, often Asian, sometimes Portuguese. New England influence may be found in "local food" but it plays a smaller role. "Local food" isn't "settler food" however, it is another type entirely, and it is one that evolved in Hawaii. Viriditas (talk) 06:59, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • As the discussion is now WP:TLDR, it seems too late for a speedy close. Andrew (talk) 07:50, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect - with respect to Andrew, I see this more as an effort to dispel ambiguity and confirm a strong consensus rather than to end a dispute (doesn't look like much of a dispute). I don't think anyone is trying to game anything. As pointed out above, the nominator could simply have reversed the actions of a blocked/banned editor but chose to come here to seek consensus. On the issue of the disambiguation itself, the nominators rationale seems sound. Stalwart111 12:08, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hawaiian cuisine seems to be a better title than Cuisine of Hawaii, just as we have French cuisine, Chinese cuisine, African cuisine, &c. Note also that these cuisines are divided into more detailed cuisines, such as Provencal cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Ghanaian cuisine. As Hawaaian cuisine contains different sub-cuisines with particular names, traditions and heritages, it seems appropriate to have a multi-level structure as we do for other complex cases. Andrew (talk) 22:33, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • And I'd have no objection to the primary topic being at that title with appropriate links and {{main}} tags to Native cuisine of Hawaii which is a sub-topic. I've spent quite a bit of time working on Christmas Island cuisine which has a similar issue. Australian cuisine is the primary topic. You could accurately describe Christmas Island cuisine as "Australian cuisine" but a disambiguation page wouldn't make any sense. People looking for native Hawaiian cuisine will likely include the word "native" in their search or will be directed to the primary cuisine topic with links from history and native cuisine sections. While "two parallel cuisines developed", it's not true to say that only one should be dealt with at Hawaiian cuisine. That article should deal with both and all other sub-cuisines too - anything that forms part of historical or modern cuisine in Hawaii. From there we should have sub-articles dealing with each of the notable sub-cuisines. The Hawaiian cuisine article shouldn't be limited to "food associated with the settlers from New England" with all others relegated to sub-articles.

I've created a little flow chart to illustrate what I mean. Stalwart111 00:12, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I actually think that this is the best solution, for consistency. I can see no reason for Hawaiian cuisine to contain content different from Cuisine of Hawaii. bd2412 T 01:02, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Andrew, Stalwart111, and BD2412 make good points, but I believe they are mistaken, and the above flow chart is incorrect. Hawaii, a former Kingdom and sovereign nation, is home to the Native Hawaiians, and their food is discussed in terms of the cuisine of Ancient Hawaii, but this is not the primary topic. The primary topic of this article is the cuisine of Hawaii. "Hawaiian" specifically refers to a native person of Hawaiian descent. If we talk about "Hawaiian cuisine" we are talking about Polynesian, Ancient Hawaiian, or Native Hawaiian food. The cuisine of Hawaii is composed of Native Hawaiian cuisine, immigrant cuisine, and contemporary cuisine. Immigrant cuisine can be further broken down into subcategories leading to a total of five overall distinct types of food in Hawaii (Polynesian, Native Hawaiian; European, American, Missionary, and Whalers; Plantation immigrant, ethnic foods; Local food of Hawaii; Hawaii Regional Cuisine). This has been discussed extensively in the past, and community consensus determined "that Cuisine of Hawaii is a preferable name for the general article." Therefore, "Hawaiian cuisine" is not a better title than "Cuisine of Hawaii". "Hawaiian cuisine" has been a stable redirect for this reason. Clearly, there is an argument here for that redirect to do one of many things: 1) remain as before, a redirect to the primary cuisine article; 2) become a dab page 3) redirect to "Native cuisine of Hawaii". As for the flow chart, the primary topic here is "Cuisine of Hawaii". Native cuisine of Hawaii is a possible subtopic. There is no such possible topic as "New-England origin Hawaiian food" since that topic is Cuisine of New England, a related topic. It is discussed in the sources as a post-contact, "Kama'aina" food, one of many. This AfD should not be used in place of a requested move discussion. I recommend that the nominator withdraw the nomination and that a discussion take place on the talk page(s) to determine the course of action for the current redirect. We are not discussing a deletion topic here so this AfD serves no purpose but to muddy the water. Viriditas (talk) 06:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
To be clear, my flow-chart was just to illustrate what I wasn't able to explain properly in prose. Your rationale with regard to the primary topic title makes sense and there does seem to be an existing consensus for that. The "New England" title was just a place-holder to explain where in that arrangement Andrew's suggestion would fit. I've amended the flow-chart to reflect your comment (I think). Stalwart111 07:23, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The most important point, I think, is that Hawaiian cuisine does not mean anything different from Cuisine of Hawaii, and that (as the flow chart indicates) there should be one general article on all the kinds of cuisine associated with Hawaii, with specific kinds of Hawaiian cuisine being treated as subtopics. bd2412 T 13:54, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Hawaiian cuisine" does mean something different, as I explained up above. "Hawaiian" refers to "Native Hawaiian" or "Ancient Hawaiian" cuisine. People who live in Hawaii are not "Hawaiians", they are either Native Hawaiian by ethnicity or they are residents of Hawaii. Long-term residents are called kama'aina or locals, however locals generally means that you are born and raised in Hawaii, whereas Kama'aina is often used for someone who was not. We already have a stable, general article on "all kinds of cuisine" associated with Hawaii, and it is appropriately titled, "Cuisine of Hawaii" for good reason. Whether we need to treat specific kinds of cuisine as subtopics depends on factors that have nothing to do with this discussion. Viriditas (talk) 23:56, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I see a distinction in the sources between "Hawaiian food" and "local food", and between "Hawaiian food" and "haole food", but no source makes a distinction between the phrase "Hawaiian cuisine" and the phrase "Cuisine of Hawaii". Since these are the titles at issue, please provide a source making this specific distinction. bd2412 T 00:13, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Hawaiian food" is a synonym for "Hawaiian cuisine". Therefore, you have already acknowledged the distinction. Are you making an argument from ignorance here? Are you seriously claiming that the term "Hawaiian food" and "Hawaiian cuisine" mean different things on Wikipedia? We don't call our articles "Food of X", we call them "Cuisine of Y" by definition and naming convention. I've already discussed how the word "Hawaiian" is generally used to refer to the Native people of Hawaii, not to the cuisine of Hawaii. Since you've already demonstrated the distinction, can you please stop with the fallacies and withdraw this poorly nominated AfD? Viriditas (talk) 01:16, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's an odd position to take given how easy it is to find sources which describe "Hawaiian cuisine" as an umbrella term with the same meaning as you proffer for "Cuisine of Hawaii", encompassing both native and imported cuisines - for example:
  • Bree Kessler, Moon Big Island of Hawai'i: Including Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park (2012): Hawaiian cuisine consists of several genres: “plantation foods," “local foods," and “Hawaii Regional Cuisine."
  • Xiaojian Zhao, ‎Edward J.W. Park, PH.D., Asian Americans: An Encyclopedia of Social, Cultural, Economic, and Political History (2013), p. 485: Hawaiian cuisine can be split into two categories: Native Hawaiian and “local.”
  • Corey Sandler, ‎Michael Roney, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Hawaii (2007), p. 26: Because of its history as a melting pot of cultures, Hawaiian cuisine borrows the best of many world cuisines, from Japanese, Chinese, Korean, native Hawaiian, and even Portuguese, to a fusion of them all.
I will therefore elect to follow the sources. Cheers! bd2412 T 01:42, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yet another fallacy, this time the search engine test fallacy. Will the fallacies ever end? "Measuring is easy. What's hard is knowing what it is you're measuring and what your measurement can mean." BIG FAIL. You did a Google search on your preferred term and then decide, based on three instances of erroneous usage in non-specialist sources, that your search results are accurate. Are you kidding me? Moon Big Island of Hawai'i isn't a book about the cuisine of Hawaii. It's a tertiary travel guide about the Big Island. The author writes about the Big Island and uses the term "Hawaiian cuisine" loosely and without regard to how sources about the cuisine of Hawaii actually use it. Why does Arnonld Hura, for example, name his 178 page book,Kau Kau: Cuisine & Culture in the Hawaiian Islands, rather than "Hawaiian cuisine"? Is it because he recognizes the distinction between traditional Native Hawaiian cuisine and the cuisine of Hawaii in general? As if one tertiary source that isn't about cuisine in Hawaii wasn't enough, now you point to a second tertiary sources that isn't about food in Hawaii to support your cherry picked fallacy, this time Zhao & Park's Asian Americans: An Encyclopedia of Social, Cultural, Economic, and Political History. Zhao & Park list their references at the bottom, Laudan 1996 and Takaki 1983, neither one of which use the term "Hawaiian cuisine" in this matter. So, as it turns out "Hawaiian cuisine" in Zhao & Park's tertiary sources was a naming convention that they chose to use for their encyclopedia about Asian-Americans, but not an actual term used in the literature about the cuisine in Hawaii. BD2412, this is not how we use sources. The sources about the cuisine of Hawaii, written by historians and food specialists, do not use the term "Hawaiian cuisine" to refer to the general food of Hawaii. That you found two tertiary sources who chose to use this term even though the sources they cite do not is not a big surprise. What's surprising is that you actually think that the fallacy of the search engine result is actually how we choose titles and write articles. It's not. First of all, we rely on secondary sources about the topic. Second of all, we choose authoritative sources about the topic. Third of all, we do the research and read the actual sources. I hope this is clear and that I've corrected your misunderstanding. Rachel Laudan provides an extensive bibliography on pp. 277-288 that you should pursue if you are interested in what the sources actually say. The next time you respond to this discussion please respond only with sources about the cuisine of Hawaii. Please do not try to cherry pick your preferred search term from sources about other topics. We use the title "Cuisine of Hawaii" because 1) that is an acceptable naming convention on Wikipedia, and 2) there is an acknowledged ambiguity with the term "Hawaiian", which is reserved for the Native Hawaiian people, not for the cuisine of Hawaii in general. This is the same reason why "Hawaii Regional Cuisine" is not named "Hawaiian Regional Cuisine". Given that the most contemporary style of Hawaii-related cuisine does not use the term "Hawaiian" in its name, I can still find many sources that use this name erroneously.[38] The fact that you can find this usage, does not imply it is acceptable or correct. It merely shows that many authors and editors are ignorant on the subject. If we were to follow your argument, we should now change the title of our article on Hawaii Regional Cuisine to "Hawaiian Regional Cuisine". Of course, this change would be wrong. I believe this counterargument directly refutes your central point. Viriditas (talk) 02:20, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Can you address this to the content of the article? At the time that I nominated this page for deletion, it was a WP:TWODABS page indicating that the phrase "Hawaiian cuisine" may refer equally to Native Hawaiian cuisine or to Cuisine of Hawaii. TWODABS requires the page to point to the primary topic if there is one, so the existence of a disambiguation page at all indicates that the term can have either meaning, which is particularly problematic where one meaning is a subtopic of the other, as is clearly the case with Native Hawaiian cuisine, one kind of Cuisine of Hawaii. Currently, the article states: "Hawaiian cuisine is the food and distinctive dishes of the Hawaiian islands. This is divided into two main strands:- native Hawaiian cuisine — the Polynesian food eaten on the islands prior to European contact — and the foods imported and eaten by more recent immigrants such as the settlers from New England". This would seem to differ from your above suggestion that "Hawaiian cuisine" does not encompass "the foods imported and eaten by more recent immigrants". If the current content is wrong, then the page should redirect to Native cuisine of Hawaii; if the current content is right, then all we have is a content fork of the existing Cuisine of Hawaii. The question is not whether it is wrong, but how it is wrong. bd2412 T 02:35, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is another false dilemma. This isn't an either/or situation, and the ambiguity of the term "Hawaiian" leads to the primary topic not to the Native Hawaiian fork. If that fork is ever to evolve, then with the existence of two pages, we would have a hatnote on the cuisine article, because that is the primary topic. You keep seeing this as a black and white situation when it is not. To recap yet again, previous move discussions left the article under discussion as a redirect to "Cuisine of Hawaii". Recently, a sockpuppet deliberately ignored this consensus and began disrupting the entire topic area and made a complete mess of the policies and guidelines in the process. This included removing the redirect and replacing it with a dab page, without any discussion, and forking content out of the main cuisine article into a new article. We already have a stable article on the "Cuisine of Hawaii', appropriately sourced to secondary sources about the subject. The latest version of the nominated dab page has forked the stable topic version, using two tertiary sources that cite the secondary sources incorrectly. Furthermore, those particular sources use the term "food of Hawaii" which is synonymous with the term "Cuisine of Hawaii'. And while it may seem logical to simply split this into pre-contact and post-contact foods as these tertiary sources do, by identifying two main strands, that's only a top-level perspective. Food historians like Laudan split the two types further into five distinct types (although at the time of her book, HRC was new, so she mostly focused on only four, but still acknowledged HRC). This is because each type builds upon the other, with HRC incorporating all four previous styles. As I said before, this nomination should be withdrawn, the redirect should be restored, and the discussion should continue on the appropriate talk page. We don't fork stable articles, we don't create them with tertiary sources that differ from the secondary sources, and we don't use AfD as a substitute for article talk discussion. There's a hell of a lot of disruption going on here, and it really needs to stop. Viriditas (talk) 03:13, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that we agree that the current content needs to go, and a redirect should exist in its place, which is the point of the AfD. Please note that my proposal was to delete the disambiguation page (which you seem to agree should not be at this title) and redirect this title elsewhere (which you have just advocated). I have no objection to the page redirecting to Native cuisine of Hawaii; I just don't think that it is a title requiring a disambiguation page. Turning a page with content into a redirect still requires deletion of that content, so I believe that an AfD is required in such a circumstance (and, indeed, we often have AfDs that result in redirects). bd2412 T 03:28, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Why is deletion required when all one has to do is revert to the previous redirect? I said before, there is an argument for a dab page, but it is a poor one at best. We could create a dab page that lists many different types of Hawaii-related food articles. But again, I think at present, the dab should be reverted back to the redirect before the commotion began and a hatnote placed on the primary. Again, a dab page is one solution to this issue, but perhaps not the best solution. Still, I don't see anything requiring deletion. At the end of the day this is a reqmove/dab discussion, not an AfD.

            • Yes, since that is what WP:DABCONCEPT requires where the purportedly ambiguous topics are not unrelated. The newly added topics are also not title matches. There seems to be some confusion here between disambiguation pages, which list articles having the same title (like Mercury (planet) and Mercury (god)), and articles that happen to be subtopics of the same topic. This is why we don't have a disambiguation page at the title, Bill Clinton listing Presidency of Bill Clinton as an ambiguous topic. The latter is one aspect of the former, just as all of the topics listed on this page are aspects of the cuisine of Hawaii, but are not all title matches. bd2412 T 16:08, 5 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The nom is proposing a deletion by redirect (see policy WP:ATD-R). The policy says "If the change is disputed, an attempt should be made on the talk page to reach a consensus".

  • People have the right to start an AfD, is my point. It's a type of consensus discussion, just like talk page discussions. The policy says "talk page" but again, that is a generic way of saying "work it out through consensus" which is what an AfD is.

  • Keep Her IMDB profile appears to list enough roles to meet the notability threshold for an actress. Rreagan007 (talk) 18:35, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Two quick points... First IMDB is not considered a reliable source on Wikipedia. Secondly WP:ACTOR requires multiple significant roles. I don't see any. If RS sources can be found that point to those multiple significant roles I will happily change my !vote. -Ad Orientem (talk) 19:43, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. But weak delete. My take is Wong is a competent actor who works rather steadily, who has not had major roles, has zero contact with the press, or does not cultivate the press. I looked through twenty (20) SERP pages, using the minimal "web" filter (not the "news" filter) and basically found a few filmography-like sources from the NY Times, a film database, but not much else. No film reviewers commenting on how well she acted, no comments by her about film or TV or anything really, almost like she is an invisible actor? Does that make sense? So I am sensing she does not meet the general notability guideline, although her filmography suggests she is a steady actor. Still, any admin closing this debate ought to take a good look at these pageview statistics, with eyeball counts over 1000 in one day recently, so there may be protest from fans if this article gets axed. Glad I'm not making the final call.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 00:43, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
