This is an autobiography, and it's very self-promotional. There are no reliable sources (the only reference is to the subject's/author's web site). It lacks WP:Notability. Vanjagenije (talk) 22:07, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete agreed. No attempt to disguise its being an advertisement, and it even slips into second person at one point ("Check out this young entertainer..."). Sheesh. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:21, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - because the fact that she "wears a majority of professional hats" (what does that even mean!?!) isn't a claim to notability and she obviously doesn't meet WP:GNG. Edit history confirms this was an attempt at an advertisement, then an autobiography. Stlwart111 03:14, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus.

H. Craig Hanna[edit]

Lack of notability: The text reads like promotional material. The sources are the subject's agent, galleries that have simply exhibited his work, or interviews by him. No mention whatsoever of notable critics or mention in third-party, respected art-media. The Gnome (talk) 10:02, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete for lack of notability: I agree with The Gnome: promotional material and sources which are not reliable secondary sources like "New York Times" or "Art in America". There's no mention of why out of all the painters on earth this one is notable enough to be here. The last time I checked it was orphaned. This article came to my attention due to working on deletions for Wikimedia Commons; the pictures uploaded for it were not users own work. Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:32, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This article is demonstrating notability. Bus stop (talk) 00:30, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that article plus the ones I found... All of these add up to satisfy WP:GNG. Binksternet (talk) 17:23, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Even with that article because the "Malta Independent" article is not biographical in scope, merely about an exhibit of pictures with a slight mention of his life before. This article does not establish notability, if it did every gallery opening listing derived from a press release would establish notability of every painter in every town in the world. There need to be some reliable secondary sources here, not just blogs and small newspapers. Also noting that User:Bus stop is a contributor to the article in question. Ellin Beltz (talk) 15:41, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I found more sources with a paragraph or two of dedicated coverage about Hanna. For instance, the quarterly magazine Livres hebdo wrote a paragraph about Hanna and his show called carnets de dessin. Le Monde featured the same Hanna show carnets de dessin, with this article called "Les carnets de dessins de H. Craig Hanna". French Wikipedia has an article on the Laurence Esnol Gallery which opened in 2008 solely to feature Hanna's works. The magazine Profondeurchamps wrote about Hanna in the article called "H. Craig Hanna : la force du peintre ingénu", published in March 2014. These sources should be brought into the biography to beef it up. Binksternet (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The above sources establish notability. This source depicts a painting titled "Carlos Sitting On A Clear Plastic Chair" about which is written (in Google translation): "Unquestionably, H. Craig Hanna plays in the virtuoso with his palette. Award in the prestigious BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2001 with Carlos sitting on a clear Plastic Chair, selected again in 2006, the painter leaves no doubt about its technical capabilities." I believe that says that H. Craig Hanna won the "prestigious BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2001 with" that painting. The source itself ("profondeurdechamps.com") seems to report on a wide range of topics. Bus stop (talk) 19:07, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]


It feels awkward to be trying to wipe a person's bio off Wikipedia, I must say! But I feel obliged to note the following:
The Laurence Esnol Gallery are Hanna's "world exclusive agents," as the French Wikipedia article states.
The Malta newspaper item is simply a report on an event in the island. It does not establish notability. The same goes for the Monde reportage, which contains not a single critical word on the artist, positive or negative, but merely announces the upcoming exhibition, along with a sample of paintings, to its readers. Hardly a notable event, or a sign of the artist's wider notability.
The only critical, third-party, extended reference to Hanna around the web is in the 'profondeurdechamps.com website, which is not widely known, if at all.
You may want to take any or all of this into consideration. Cheers. -The Gnome (talk) 22:31, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I searched the factoid H. Craig Hanna won the "prestigious BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London in 2001 with" and found that statement to be incorrect. According to the webpage of the National Portrait Gallery, BP Portrait Award 2001, The winner of the BP Portrait Award 2001 is: Stuart Pearson Wright (b.1975) - Title of Portrait: The Six Presidents of the British Academy. Second place was jointly won by Phil Hale and Brendan Kelley. The latter has no Wikipedia entry. Below is a section titled The following artists have been commended. Each wins £1,000: on that list is the extent of information about this artist, quote "H.Craig Hanna (b.1970) Carlos sitting on a clear plastic chair." I do not see that a commendation equals a win which calls into question the validity of the contents of the remainder of the article, none of which are supported by reliable secondary sources. Also please compare the articles; the actual winner's article is short, to the point and has citations from The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Independent. This page reads like a press release of every thing the artist has ever done and suggests WP:COI editing as it is more like what one would expect on a personal website than an encyclopedia entry. Incidentally of those commended thirteen years ago, only Thomas Leveritt has a wiki article; and it is very light on references of note. Ellin Beltz (talk) 14:58, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is a range of types of articles Wikipedia can write about visual artists. If this one is faulty for reading like a press release perhaps that can be remedied. The more important question is whether this article should be deleted. I don't think it should. I think there is a fair degree of evidence of a track record in the area of visual art and some recognition taken by publications that address the visual arts. Bus stop (talk) 15:25, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In 2006, the top three BP Portrait Awards were given to other artists, but Hanna was honored by having his work "Hermes and George" selected for exhibition, and for printing in the book about the exhibition, ISBN 9781855143739.[1]
"Carlos sitting on a plastic chair" was given the same degree of recognition in 1990. See BP Portrait Award, National Portrait Gallery, 1990, p. 60.
Hanna's work was selected for the National Portrait Gallery's "Portrait Gala" of 2009.[2][3]
He exhibited in Taiwan in 2002, at the Galerie Martini. Binksternet (talk) 16:54, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but a weak keep. I revamped the article, removing all of the voluminous WP:REFSPAM and other dubious references, kept the good references, as a way to try to spare it. Still, my sense is the artist is on the border here between notability and non-notability, kind of a judgment call; my sense is the artist is on the GNG side but it is up to the community to decide.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 12:50, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I think the sources found and work done are enough to substantiate notability. It's perhaps not the strongest case for notability but I think it sneaks over the line. Stlwart111 03:20, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete only one source has any real coverage, and that may not be that reliable, or independent a source. --Bejnar (talk) 13:18, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Certain artists fall through the cracks if you only regard write-ups in the New York Times, so-to-speak. Attention should be paid to a track record of laboring away in the visual fine arts. Otherwise we are making value judgements. Many commercial spaces for instance have art decorating their walls. This is not necessarily art that challenges convention except in predictable ways. Where does that art come from? I’m not saying I know this person's art. I certainly don’t know this person. But we can see a track record. That should count for something, of course in conjunction with our standard requirement for notability in reliable sources. Be aware that good quality sources are not likely to write an article about someone who churns out reasonably priced art that serves as a reasonable substitute for what the public regards as mildly challenging art. Notice the individual’s track record. (The track record, by the way, should not be in the article, so I agree with Tom's removal of it from the article.) The shows begin in the late 90s. Again—I know little about this artist, and I should not say that he is a “hack”. (definition of "hack": a person who willingly works or acts mostly for money or other rewards without worrying about independence, beliefs, or reputation) But there are certainly many artists who produce art because it sells. Let me quickly add that I do not know that this applies to the subject of this biography. All I’m arguing is that we shouldn’t weaken Wikipedia’s coverage of visual artists when we see ample evidence of a long-term productive visual artist. Everything in visual art does not have to be about challenging convention. Nor does notability solely hinge upon exceedingly good quality. Notability also should take into consideration the evidence that a fine artist has persisted in that endeavor productively over a long period of time. Bus stop (talk) 12:35, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We make value judgments about sources, not about people. --Bejnar (talk) 13:39, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The artist has a track record. It demonstrates notability. Sources only comment upon that which is newsworthy. But is this artist noteworthy? Definitely. This is an artist whose work probably hangs on countless walls. The repeat shows are not because this work did not sell. Quite the contrary we have an indication of a working artist whose work has a following. Bus stop (talk) 14:08, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately or not, that is not the measure of notability on the Wikipedia. As one commentator put it "notability" on the Wikipedia is a term of art. Please see the guidelines for notability: WP:GNG, WP:PEOPLE, and WP:CREATIVE. Effort is not rewarded, indications are not rewarded, significant coverage in independent, published reliable sources is. --Bejnar (talk) 15:49, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing being "rewarded". Deleting an article about an artist such as H. Craig Hanna only lessens the value of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. Wikipedia should not deny itself coverage of visual artists when they have adequate track records, and they show some degree of coverage in reasonably good quality sources. Should the name "H. Craig Hanna" be mentioned in an article on Figurative art or an article on Abstract art? Absolutely not. Good quality reliable sources would have to be available to support an assertion that an artist is an exemplar of a quality or a style. Such sources are entirely absent in this instance, to my knowledge. Connoisseurship concerns a separate question from whether a visual artist should be considered notable enough for an article. Bus stop (talk) 16:14, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is simply not how Wikipedia operates, however. Revisit the criteria for Notability, especially of living persons. Editors are not here to "cover artists" who simply have an "adequate track record." By omitting the biography of each and every such artist, Wikipedia is not being "denied" anything. Wikipedia suggests that, alternatively, one should try listing such biographies here. -The Gnome (talk) 11:55, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
For visual artists we should be concerned with exhibition history. A series of exhibitions spanning many years should be a factor which should tend to serve to establish notability for Wikipedia purposes. Indeed we should be concerned with a long track record in this area. I don't think notability is established by the same means for all endeavors. Gallery shows are important for the particular endeavor of visual art. This is a system which is in place. The gallery system is something of particular significance to visual art. The gallery system may not have a strongly corresponding counterpart in other creative endeavors. If we are wondering if a potential person warrants an article on Wikipedia based on their importance to the field of visual art we indeed should be looking to exhibition history in art galleries. If these aren't vanity galleries and the exhibition history can be confirmed, then we are weighing a factor that may contribute to the argument to keep the article. Bus stop (talk) 19:24, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
| The notability is established by reliable secondary sources not by a "following". The best suggestion, I can give is to get some notable coverage in reliable news/journals first. The artist has a website for publicity, Wikipedia isn't a promotional outlet, it's an encyclopedia. I'd suggest taking a look at other artist's biographies on List of American artists 1900 and after for an idea of the amount of news/journal/book coverage to be considered notable. Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:13, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Laurence Esnol Gallery provides a list of "Expositions" spanning 1997 to 2012. Can we rely on that list, and should it be taken into consideration? By the way, I have nothing to do with this artist. I never saw the name until this AfD. I just want to make that clear. It is only on principle that I am arguing. Bus stop (talk) 17:56, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Laurence Esnol Gallery is the "worldwide exclusive agent" for this particular artist. This is stated in the French wikipedia entry ("[Hanna] est représenté en permanence et en exclusivité mondiale par Laurence Esnol Gallery").-The Gnome (talk) 19:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spam really. The "New York Times" source is their blog, which isn't reliable. Looks like COI editing, also adding the "founder" article. Dennis Brown |  | WER 21:43, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Meets WP:WEBCRIT Comment: (sources) per [4], [5], [6], [7], [8] (short article), [9] (very short article). Additionally, the NYT source is an acceptable WP:NEWSBLOG source for Wikipedia's purposes. NorthAmerica1000 12:53, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Their blog is fine (sometimes) to source an individual fact, but not to establish notability. Additionally, this blurb was written by Lydia Dishman, whose whole NYT blog career [10] is a few fluffy, cheerleading posts under the "fashion" moniker. Clearly insufficient to establish notability and of dubious use for other purposes. Dennis Brown |  | WER 13:27, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hi User:Dennis Brown: at WP:IRS it states, "Some news outlets host interactive columns they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professional journalists or are professionals in the field on which they write and the blog is subject to the news outlet's full editorial control." At the end of the paragraph it then links to WP:NEWSBLOG. Therefore, I perceive the NYT source as an acceptable reliable source to establish notability. NorthAmerica1000 11:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • I know the policy, blogs can sometimes be an exception for sourcing, which is different than establishing notability. And you take them on a case by case basis. As I've shown, this is a very weak case for even sourcing facts, but under any circumstance it doesn't demonstrate notability. Even unreliable sources can sometimes be used to source non-contentious facts but the standard for establishing notability is higher than for sourcing trivial facts. Dennis Brown |  | WER 11:59, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • One matter, though, is that your notions here are not stated anywhere in WP:N. Regardless, I appreciate your opinion. NorthAmerica1000 12:43, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • It is vaguely touched upon in WP:CONTEXTMATTERS. Not all "reliability" is the same. Just as a primary source is fine to source a date of birth or their religion but not to prove notability. Weak sources are ok for non-contentious sourcing, but in this case, "notability" is contentious, so it requires higher quality sourcing. Dennis Brown |  | WER 13:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete (changing to Redirect, see below) Does not meet WP:CORP. Trivial outside reporting about funding and acquisition; nothing substantial about the company itself. Not worth redirecting to eBay, where it has not been considered important enough to mention under acquisitions. Could have been redirected to the founder except that he is not notable either and is up for deletion as well. --MelanieN (talk) 23:36, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I did. I share Dennis's skepticism about this source, and in any case, notability requires MULTIPLE significant coverage. --MelanieN (talk) 13:49, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to the Acquisitions section of the eBay article. Upon consideration, this may not quite qualify for a standalone article. I've modified my !vote above to a comment. NorthAmerica1000 14:10, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge as per Northamerica. (Actually Dennis Brown has identified a better redirect target.) That's a reasonable approach. --MelanieN (talk) 15:21, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not to be argumentative, but there is literally nothing to merge. That section is blank and instead points (via "main article") to List of acquisitions by eBay, which already has a full entry on this. I can see deleting and then redirecting to List of acquisitions by eBay but not a merge. Dennis Brown |  | WER 19:31, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That section isn't blank; it has subsections about four major acquisitions. That's what I was looking at when I dismissed this article as "not having been considered important enough to mention under acquisitions". I didn't see that there is a separate list. This article is already mentioned on that list (not exactly a "full entry", but probably all this is worth). In that case, a Redirect to the List of acquisitions by eBay would be appropriate. But there is no need to delete the article before redirecting; it's not like it contains damaging BLP or copyvio or anything like that. It's just non-notable. --MelanieN (talk) 21:19, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I stand corrected. I wouldn't expect it to be one of the major sections, but instead in the lesser article, but that would be an editorial decision at that article, not here. Dennis Brown |  | WER 21:44, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete fails WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. There are thirteen footnotes to the article, but little in the way of actual coverage. Most simply say something like "Hair and makeup by Vanessa Jarman", and don't even have a full sentence about her. A few have Vanessa Jarman sharing a make-up "secret". The most and only real coverage is the first one "Vanessa Jarman’s Advice On How To Apply Makeup' which ends with a very brief (100 words) bio. Her collaboration with Lady Gaga was another of those "Hair & Makeup: Vanessa Jarman".

  • Delete. I would say that if they were responible for producing multiple hit records, and met WP:GNG, they would be notable. The problem isn't "inheriting" notability, it's meeting GNG, and there just isn't anything out there about this group as a group, and precious little on the individual members (I found one brief article on Soko being credited for Drunk In Love, on the Nehanda Radio blog [12]). The WP article for Drunk in Love does list them (by name, not as TheOrder) in the credits, and the one for Nothing Was the Same credits "Proctor" (no first name, neither of the others) on a few tracks. So they were probably involved, though not necessarily as TheOrder, and the article may be pooling individual activities of group members. Not to mention that without reliable sources talking about their contributions, we can't tell how important they were to the production (the article could very easily be overstating it). As a side note, User:TheOrderMusic is a clear violation of WP:GROUPNAME and should probably be blocked for such once this AfD is over. — Gwalla | Talk 21:27, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article had been twice exposed earlier on removal, however it was left with the comment "there is no consensus" while my arguments were ignored (1, 2). After the removal from some unreliable sources and sources where it was absolutely spoken nothing about Sergei Vasiliev, there were only three links, 2 of which – the official site.

  • Keep as its recognized by Madhya Pradesh State Council of Homeopathy. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:18, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
An entry in a directory list published on the MP State Council for Homeopathy website is neither "significant coverage", nor is it independent, since a subscription is required to join this body. In short, it does nothing for notability. Furthermore, this is a private college, not a recognised educational institution.  Philg88 talk 05:13, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
An entry in a directory list of recognition means a lot. It means the college has been through a lot of government paperwork for its establishment. These have been revalidated by the council and thus deemed fit to be recognized by it. When a state government formed council recognizes an educational institute, it makes for all the notability that it should have. Now they not having regular tree-plantation events which media would cover or they not inviting celebrities to dance at their annual functions is trivial. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 05:34, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Tree planting and dancing might well contribute to notability, but so far all we have done is to establish that the college actually exists. It possesses no inherent notability whatever the government may say and it must satisfy the requirement for "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" per WP:ORG and WP:GNG.  Philg88 talk 06:31, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
And establishing existence is sufficient per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES for such degree-awarding institutions. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 07:11, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES is an essay, not a policy and cannot override the general notability guideline. Homeopathy is not a recognised scientific discipline, so awarding degrees in it carries no institutional/academic weight.  Philg88 talk 09:29, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Its an essay based on wide consensus which cannot be challenged at this forum. And if homeopathy is no good science per you, that's a reason to get the article Homeopathy deleted, not this article. Btw, homeopathy is a better science than studying how to make objects fly or staring at globes, the institutes of which have articles on WP. I know WP:OSE. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 11:04, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We can debate this all day but the simple truth is that per WP:ORG, this college has insufficient evidence of notability to warrant stand-alone coverage. Looked at from the perspective of content, the article consists of two sentences and an infobox. The other sections merely duplicate this information. The entire topic could be covered in a two line mention in Sagar, Madhya Pradesh#Education.  Philg88 talk 13:42, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I believe that the principle we apply at AfD, that all high schools of proven existence are inherently notable, should logically be extended to colleges. Per the link of Dharmadhyaksha, this college exists; therefore it should be included in WP. I feel this way regardless of my personal view of Homeopathy — that it is a 16 ton dumptruck load of horse shit. If it is a high school, we include it; if it is a college, we should include it. Makes sense to me... Carrite (talk) 11:41, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Buy My (Self-Published) Book. There's far more author COI here than independent RS notability. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:06, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The words "Buy My Book" are not included anywhere in the article!! The above sentence is completely uncalled for and blatantly intended to discredit the article .mbeychok (talk) 21:10, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's surprising how thoroughly this article is hyperlinked to the rest of WP. The article's notability has been discussed before and the conclusion was that it met the criteria. However, it strikes me as overtly promotional, along with the over-linking. The article could be much shortened with a more neutral tone, but the book's website is likely to continue to be the main, or only, source. Normally that site would be RS as it's owned by a subject matter expert...but the COI there remains since it exists to sell the book. Geogene (talk) 16:38, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: In the current version of the article, I counted six internal links in the first two paragraphs, and 10 internal links listed under "See also", and no others. To me, that does not seem like overlinking. I counted seven independent external links in the fourth paragraph and three independent reviews under "Book reviews". That indicates to me that the book's website is by no means the only source. Because of the usefulness and readability of the book and of the article, I suggest allowing WP:IAR to override WP:COI. See also Talk:Fundamentals of Stack Gas Dispersion.
Wavelength (talk) 03:28, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to Comment: That was an observation on "What Links Here" for the book's article. It seemed a bit much to use the book as a source for a non-technical statement that the EPA uses air pollution models, complete with link to the book's article and external link to the website. This also happens on some other government agency articles as well. I find it too promotional, but this is not especially harmful to WP. IAR is not unreasonable.

Comment: The book was first published in 1979 and is now in its 4th Edition. After 35 years , the book has been purchased in 84 countries and is currently available in 230 libraries worldwide. It has been referenced or cited as an educational resource more than 795 times in the technical literature and on the Internet, including the regulatory publications of 32 state or national governmental agencies worldwide. It has also been used as recommended reading or a textbook in 59 university courses. See http://www.air-dispersion.com/interest.html for a complete listing of the libraries, citations by governmental agencies, usages in university courses and overall citations. I should think that those facts are proof enough of the book's notability. mbeychok (talk) 04:15, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem is that being in libraries isn't enough to show notability in and of itself. That it is in multiple libraries can make it more likely that the book has gained coverage, but it is not a guarantee and we don't keep books because they're in libraries- regardless of the number. As far as it being a recommended reading, that is helpful but the big problem with saying that it is a recommended reading or a textbook for classes is that we don't exactly count that in the same way we would say, To Kill A Mocking Bird. Books like this are frequently written with the intent of it being used as a textbook, so we don't count RRs or textbook usage for stuff like this for the most part. Even then, the expectation is that if the book is used heavily by agencies and schools, there will be coverage overall and it's extremely, extremely rare that an article will be kept on that without having some sort of independent, in-depth coverage. Although on that note, being used as a cite in other papers can help, as long as the person citing it isn't personally involved with the book in some way. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:46, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not saying that it isn't notable or that sourcing can't be found, just that it's extremely rare to keep a book without some sort of in-depth coverage. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 10:55, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Further comment: The total number of citations (as noted in my previous comment) is 795 and at least 90% of those citations were by people not involved in any way with the book. Is that not indeed "in-depth coverage" for a non-fictional technological textbook? mbeychok (talk) 15:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It depends. We still have to look at the citations to see who/where the citations are being used. Not all cites are created equal and we still have to verify that they're not involved, see how in-depth the work is cited, and so on. It's usually fairly rare for something to be kept purely on it being cited in other works without the book in question being specifically cited somewhere as a groundbreaking text or as a good example of its type. It's typically why I tend to go for the peer-reviewed journal reviews first to help show notability and find links to the PRJs, as they're usually a more solid thing to point to. It's frustrating, yes, but it's fairly common for me (when searching for an article subject) to find cites but not really a lot of ones that mention the subject in-depth. That makes it really hard to show notability at AfD and it's why I try to not really go "this is cited in this many places" without providing links to quite a few in-depth reliable sources. A lot of editors are jaded when it comes to numbers because they expect that the average academic subject will have citations and want to have the notability hammered down with some pretty good in-depth sources. Basically what I'm trying to say is that just saying a ton of people cite it isn't really good enough to firmly convince everyone and rather than giving numbers, it would be better to pick out 3-4 really in-depth citations that specifically mention the work. There has to be some out there and showing a PRJ source that says something along the lines of "and in Beychok's seminal work Fundamentals of Stack Gas Dispersion he mentions..." would do far more than just saying numbers, especially since you have a conflict of interest here (given your name), as people tend to take things from COI editors with a large grain of salt because we know that there's a very big benefit to you having the page on Wikipedia. Again, not saying that the book can't be notable, just that it's usually better to give a little more concrete evidence by way of links to sources rather than citing numbers. (Not trying to be rude, just saying that showing the best cites would be more effective here.) Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 23:51, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The relevant guideline is WP:G11. The subject appears to meet notability criteria and is not "exclusively" promotional. It can be re-written in a more neutral tone without fundamental change to the article. Geogene (talk) 18:54, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

G11 is a criterion for speedy deletion. No-one is suggesting that.
Quite obviously, not meeting criteria for one aspect of speedy deletion does not imply that it also passes all the other criteria needed to keep an article! Andy Dingley (talk) 19:13, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I agree with the Keep remarks by Geogene on June 20, 2014 and with the Comment remarks by Wavelength also on June 20th. To be completely transparent, I am the author of the Fundamentals of Stack Gas Dispersion article and my own Comment remarks are included in the above debate statements. I would also point out that the article does not include the word "buy" anywhere. It is simply a description of the book and its contents as well as some published reviews in well known technical journals. mbeychok (talk) 18:18, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep True there is COI, but it makes an attempt to be NPOV, not much needs to be changed. The book reviews, worldcat counts and many citations in Google Books suggest notability. -- GreenC 05:04, 24 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently non-notable local politician. Fails WP:POLITICIAN, with no evidence so far of substantial coverage.

This was PRODded by User:PatGallacher, but I contested the PROD and am sending it to AFD because his receipt of an OBE does suggest that he may be notable, either for his career in local government or on hospital boards.

I checked The Times archive, where I found 3 letters to the editor from Dingley, but no editorial coverage of him.

  • Local city or county councillors do not qualify for Wikipedia articles just for existing, per WP:POLITICIAN, nor do unelected candidates for higher office — and according to the main article on the Order of the British Empire, it's the most junior and most populous class of the British honours system, so it cannot automatically confer encyclopedic notability on every single person named to it. Certainly if he'd been knighted, then he'd qualify for an article regardless of his failure to pass POLITICIAN — but for an OBE, the basic notability of his original career still has to pass muster to get him in here. Delete unless much better sourcing can be added. Bearcat (talk) 20:22, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just to clarify, OBE does not stand for "Order of the British Empire" but for "Officer of the Order of the British Empire", the second lowest of the five grades of that order. We have generally held that the three highest grades (GBE, KBE/DBE, CBE) do provide inherent notability under WP:ANYBIO #1, but the two lowest (OBE, MBE) do not. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:49, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As written, clearly fails Wikipedia:Notability (biographies). Second AfD in 2012 was closed as after two relists nobody cared to vote. The article has already been deleted years ago from pl wiki, which has a much less strict notability criteria ([16], [17]), and that's a big red flag: if something is not notable for pl wiki, it is certainly not notable for us. Nobody has bothered to recreate his bio, even through around 2011 he briefly appeared on Polish Big Brother ([18]). Outside one of two short news pieces from that time, I am not seeing any reliable sources about him or his career. I don't think he was notable back then, he isn't now, and the current substub is hardly making a case for itself.

  • Keep Through a Google search, I found three articles about Piotr Lato on the first several pages of the results. To address the concerns about the article's lack of sourcing, I have added these three sources to the article. The sources are sufficient to verify the material in the article.

    Based on this cursory Google search, there is likely to be even more coverage about the subject.

    This 18 September 2011 articleWebCite (Google Translate) from Onet.pl titled "Piotr Lato wystartował w "The Voice of Poland"".

    This 17 June 2011WebCite (Google Translate) article also from Onet.pl titled "Piotr Lato - "Nie przypuszczałem, że mogliby mnie wybrać do Big Brothera!""

    This 4 August 2010WebCite (Google Translate) article from plotek.pl (which is owned by Agora SA) titled "Pamiętacie Piotra Lato z Big Brothera?"

    As Dennis Brown (talk · contribs) noted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Piotr Lato in November 2008 regarding WP:ONEEVENT:

    Weakest of keeps only because he placed 5th in Idol and was also on Big Brother, which clears wp:oneevent, and approaches multiple instances of minor celebrity. Likely, this could be sourced better, but that is a tag issue. This is admittedly marginal, but the threshold appears to be passed. Or he is at least sitting directly on top of it. Maybe the notability is more obvious to those in Poland or of Polish descent.

    The sources demonstrate that the subject passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Cunard (talk) 06:51, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thank you for your extensive search; I saw those sources before and I am not convinvced that three short articles on minor gossip sites (and two brief stints in reality shows) are sufficient to pass GNG. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:58, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm unconvinced that the three sources are listed are from gossip sites. The sources allow Piotr Lato to pass the general notability guideline, which is why I am voting to keep.

        I understand that all editors other than myself are currently supporting deletion.

        So an alternative to deletion would be to redirect Piotr Lato to Idol (Polish TV series)#Season 4 (with the history preserved under the redirect) because it is a valid search term. I would support preserving the article's history under the redirect because its three sources would be useful in sourcing and expanding the article if there is future coverage to more firmly establish notability.

  • Comment. The article is currently referenced to Ukrainian sources only, which makes verification of claims difficult and best left for Ukrainian-speakers (which I am not). A quick google search shows there should be English sources. I'll abstain from voting now, but if somebody adds English sources ping me and I'll see if they show notability.

    Der Fuehrer's Face was an immensely popular recording (#3 on the U.S. charts) by a highly notable artist released by the most notable of record labels, still being discussed for its cultural impact 70 years later.

  • Delete as individually not notable, but likely usable in any article on Ukraine anti-Russian demonstration articles. Whether the article has any bias is irrelevant here - the problem is the song qua song simply fails notability guidelines on Wikipedia. AFAICT, the mentions are all in the larger context of demonstrations, and not strongly about the song itself. For example, the Guardian article is about a "chant" and abut a word one envoy used - not about a song, and absolutely not about a specific song to establish notability of the song. Collect (talk) 12:01, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, as there cannot be any secondary sources able to judge the song's impact. The song's surrounding context is ongoing, so all sources are primary by definition, and we cannot predict whether solid secondary sources will be published at a later date. "Der Führer's Face" is notable because it's been discussed by secondary sources, which looked back at the song and could judge its impact from a distance, and such sources clearly can't exist yet for this song.

  • Rediect to an appropriate location, for now. The WaPo link is a valid source, the claim above of "It's not a Washingtonpost article, but a personal blog" is false. The blogging sections of reliable sources, particularly newspapers, are no different from a journalist penning a regular column. The Guardian and Bloomberg also contain brief mentions of the song/chant directly. 1 solid source and a few name-drops (there are others such as the Independent) bring this pretty close to the notability threshold.

  • keep or keep and rename this song is known probably since March 30, 2014 (cf. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9G6bMheayBQ).

  • Keep per NeilN; a second source is [22] (contains an entire video of the protest song) - I think others in the article now also qualify. I have voted Keep in discussions such as Santorum (neologism) and Stop Watching Us, which respectively deal with a meme and a single protest.

  • Comment mostly agree with Tarc, but this is moving fast and likely has become notable already. It might be on the border now of being a single event - the comment at the embassy - but the phrase and the song are intertwined with that. WaPo, Telegraph, Independent, and Bloomberg are all reliable sources. The RFE article at http://www.rferl.org/content/putin-profanity-ukraine-deshchytsya/25425498.html almost pushes me over the edge. It's a more rounded article geographically and its video is about Kharkiv, not about the embassy in Kiev. BTW, before anybody uploads the video as PD-US Gov, you should check thoroughly if Commons policy does reflect that RFE is actually US GOV (it seems obvious but I know that there has been some discussion). In any case within a few days we'll know if this meme takes off or dies out as quickly as it came. Smallbones(smalltalk) 16:21, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep for now This song seems to have caused a diplomatic incident. Due to the Foreign Minister singing it to stave off an angry crowd, the incident is actually very notable (a diplomatic crisis), even if the song is crass and not exactly a cleverly written poem. If you wanted to turn this into "Putin Khuilo diplomatic incident" that would be a compromise I would be willing to support. If it turns out that Putin Khuilo is the Ukrainian version of "All we are saying is give peace a chance" / "Make love, not war" then we would be silly to delete reference to it altogether, but for now it seems to be a fairly new chant that is definitely making a lot of news. Is there an article about Chants and slogans related to Ukranian and Russian conflict, akin to List of Maoist China rhetoric and political slogans. Also, it might be informative for people to read the WP:RECENT essay and understand how wikipedia incorporates fast-moving news stories. Peace, MPS (talk) 18:51, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The incident was actually not so much the minister chanting, but the massive crowd attack of the Russian Embassy in Kiev. The minister claimed later that he chanted it since it was the only way to disperse the crown (which the blocked sockpuppeteer who created the article forgot to add). If it is moved to Attack of the Russian Embassy in Kiev it would in my opinion better claims of notability.--Ymblanter (talk) 19:02, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • There shouldn't be any misperception that this is the Ukrainian version of "All we are saying is give peace a chance". This is intentionally the nastiest thing that people can imagine saying in Russian (and I assume in Ukrainian as well); and this in a culture that has a special place in its heart and history for foul language (mat). That said, I cannot blame Ukrainians fro saying this to Putin - how else to get the point across that they are sick of Russian domination, and invasions (by proxy or otherwise)? To repeat this is really nasty stuff. The only thing that was remotely close was Pussy Riot - at the time I was thinking "How could they possibly put this on TV/Radio?" Well they have and we've gotten used to it, and they made their point by being intentionally shocking with their language. This wording however is about 10 times as shocking. Go by reliable sources and notability is all I can say. It seems right up there if not just over that point right now. Smallbones(smalltalk) 19:16, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I personally see Russian Wikipedia as a Stalinist propaganda wiki but I know that Wikipedia content can be objectionable and therefore I tend to ignore it. Also, I need to point out that @Ymblanter: shouldn't dictate the Russian Wikipedia rules here, and judge who have how many edit counts. Every Wikipedia is different, including this one.

No body is personally attacking anyone, I just pointed out the facts, that he used to be in the Russian Wikipedia, and that they use opposite-to-us tactics there when it comes to deletion discussion. I.e, in Russian Wikipedia majority of the articles get deleted because no one issues against. My opinion is that he is trying to do it here, that's why Jack User calls English Wikipedia fake history (with which I disagree). Maybe I should have putted it in different context?--Mishae (talk) 20:17, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I may have over-reacted. I'll just stress that I know him as a good guy and that he knows our rules very well. It's probably important to understand that Russians could be easily offended by this article. Smallbones(smalltalk) 20:40, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Its fine. I personally don't feel offended, but then we need to consider WP:UNDUE if the minority here feels threatened. But in the current state, its just a farce of debate.

  • Keep finally getting off the fence. The google translate version of a La Stampa story finally did it for me. The foreign minister was sacked for saying it. Boy, some folks just can't take a little constructive criticism. I suppose this will go down in history along with the Baltic Republics having their Singing Revolution and Ukraine now has its own version. Smallbones(smalltalk) 01:31, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep It might turn out to be just a flash in the pan of no lasting significance, but it seems at least as notable as, say, Janet Jackson's nipple. But historical significance is rarely clear at the time; it could turn out to be as significant as We will bury you. I found the article via mainstream news and came to WP for more background on the subject (specifically, a nuanced translation of хуйло). The decision is only between a dedicated article, and a section in another one. Personally I think there's enough material to justify a dedicated article, and thus oppose deletion, but it's not far over the line; I wouldn't be horribly upset if it got merged elsewhere. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 04:51, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep So obviously not a ONEEVENT and it easily passes VERIFIABILITY and NOTABILITY. This is so clearly an ongoing story with multiple occurrences, reported in multiple countries, and that resulted in a diplomatic incident.

  • Keep As mentioned previously not a ONEEVENT and it passes VERIFIABILITY and NOTABILITY, since self-proclaimed Russian "republics" and "Russian spring", which were first followed by no one now did make it into history.

Because they are hardly ever referenced by reliable sources. Adelaide is only referenced by the 1993 source and Stephen II of Hungary's wife is mentioned in reliable sources as an unnamed princess of Capua. The name Christiana seems made up. Both women are not notable and never mention in detail by sources. Most information about them are made up in later sources, Merging should not even be an option. Both articles should be deleted and all links and mentions on related articles erased to prevent Wikipedia for proliferating false facts and original research.

  • Comment. I am rather worried about systemic bias here - the subject feels like the kind of celebrity whose notability is clear within their own linguistic community but effectively invisible from outside. However, as User:Tomwsulcer remarks, a GTranslation of the Greek Wikipedia article does not appear to provide any leads towards proving notability, so if the article is to survive, we are rather dependent on a Greek-speaking editor finding and providing reliable sources.

Living person lacks extensive 3rd party reliable sources to establish notability. Wlmg (talk) 03:46, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. As I wrote when deprodding this, "The citation record looks like a pass of WP:PROF#C1 to me." As in, Google scholar lists some 3800 sources, most of them probably reliable and independent, and most likely a smaller but large enough number of them with some in-depth coverage of his work. It's a bit early — usually someone who is a full professor at a good university will pass WP:PROF and he's only associate — but I don't think that's a big concern. (For instance, part of the reason I can be skeptical of the notability of early-career scientists with big citations is that it's hard to disentangle their contributions from those of their mentors, but in this case that's not an issue, as his top-cited paper is singly-authored.) —David Eppstein (talk) 04:13, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The aticle is unsourced and it is likely that any only sources that might be available would be sycophantic ones. As the nom says, the independence of India brought an end to all of these feudal titles etc, many of which were in any case self-conferred. I've no idea when Shahu acceded to his non-existent throne but it seems unlikely to have been before the abolition. The final vestiges of the old system were scrapped in 1971, by which time it is more likely that he had assumed the title ... but it would still be a vanity title: no power, no substantive influence in a democracy etc. Unless the man has actually done stuff that fits in with WP:GNG or WP:NPOL there seems no justification for retaining this article, which presently exists probably on the misguided basis that someone with an (officially unrecognised) honorific is somehow notable. There are a lot of these vanity articles lying around and they need sorting out. This might be a test case. - Sitush (talk) 10:16, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We received information request on Marathi language Wikipedia about this article subject. Reasonable Google search in Marathi language on this subject did not provide any encyclopedic information. Since this personality is from previous pre-internet generation undersigned is not aware if any information is available in older print media. Over all google search indicates that post Indian independance the Kolhapur Bhosale family members may have been socio-politically active but low profile in media.
this search at royalark.net indicates this personality has been patron of certain socio-educational institutions at various times and if need be if any info comes up can be included in relevant particular article. Unless more encyclopedic info comes up I am not sure about encyclopedic value of this article at this moment. Family members from his Previous and next generations of this personality seem to be more socio politically active and if some one works for a merged encyclopedic article for post indipendance contribution of this family then it will be more justifiable.
Although references show the title given Shahu II but for encyclopedic purposes it increases ambiguity with similler names.If at all you decide to retain the article and if the full name is correct as Dilipsinhrao Rajaramsinhrao Bhonsle, Kolhapur article title will have lesser ambiguity.

Fails WP:NSONGS. Has not charted, has not won awards, has not been covered extensively. Furthermore, the article itself does not attempt to justify notability. All material could be comfortably added to its parent article, Vows (album). Prosperosity (talk) 10:32, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • This isn't even what an AfD is for, as you don't wish to have the article deleted. If you and I simply disagree about a merge, what's wrong with discussing the matter on the talk page like I suggested? Erpert blah, blah, blah... 17:46, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Information on the song at Entertainment Weekly [29], Interview [30], and Digital Spy [31] helps establish that coverage is not entirely limited to brief/single-sentence mentions within reviews of the album. Perhaps that's enough material to support a standalone article; if not, merging into the album article would be a reasonable alternative.  Gongshow   talk 19:41, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Song is enough of a small hit to muster an article on its own, along with individual song reviews. Nate (chatter) 02:19, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Where in WP:NSONGS does it state that a song charting is the only notability criterion? Erpert blah, blah, blah... 08:00, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't, but it doesn't seem to pass any of the notability criteria. The article doesn't say that it has been independently covered by many groups, or that it won any awards, or that there's enough material to warrant a stand-alone article. What part of the article makes it warranted, that couldn't be a part of the album article? --Prosperosity (talk) 09:12, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Can't there be biographies of leading members in notable royal families? Roy is from an important Bangladeshi dynasty (a major royal family of the Chittagong Hill Tracts and one of the last Buddhist royal houses of South Asia), who also happen to be influential on a national, regional and global level on issues of indigenous rights.

The nomination does not contain a valid rationale for deletion; none of the templates in the article are about topic notability, and the notion in the nomination of the topic being better covered in another article is subjective and open-ended, lacking qualification or explanation why.

  • Keep. Although I agree that the article could use a little formatting and other cleanup, surely the "single source" and "personal essay" complaints don't apply to the wholesale inclusion of a public-domain work like this. An essay-like article is one that "states the Wikipedia editor's particular feelings about a topic, rather than the opinions of experts"; this article is entirely the product of experts' research! Since the source doesn't seem to have a biblography, some fact-checking seems to be in order. And that is the main issue as I see it: the editor dumped data without checking facts or revising for encyclopedic interest. Ringbang (talk) 21:05, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's hard to argue that this isn't a notable topic. No particular reason to nuke the content, either. (ETA: actually, this is an excellent article. Obviously some more sources should be added eventually, but it's a well-done lift from a high-quality public domain source, nicely cited and wikified. It would be a shame to see this one go.) ∴ ZX95 [discuss] 12:26, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be main advertising and written in advertising speech. Claims to be the winner of many awards, but the ADDY, Webby and W3 awards websites do not list this winner of those awards. It did win an ADDY, but that is a DC ADDY, a very localized award. The claim to fame seems to be it made a top 20 advertising list in a business journal in DC, a spectacularly small and specific list. Doesn't seem notable, the web hits for it are spectacularly underwhelming and for a Digital Services agency, their Facebook has gotten almost no hits or likes.

When The Edge of Night was at AFD in 2007, there was no consensus but the article moved from the song to the general poem. The problem is as a song alone, this does not pass WP:NSONG because there aren't sources that are independent of the article and label. It is basically a summary of the book and/or the movie now. There is no specific policy on individual poems but looking at Wikipedia:POETRYSTANDARDS, I think the standard is similar.

I came across this while making a disambiguation page for the generic term of "Twisted Tales". The series is a spin-off of the larger franchise Horrible Histories and while the overall franchise has notability, this individual series does not. It was re-released by Scholastic under a few different names, which I'm grouping into this AfD because they're mostly the same article. I'd originally added this to the overall article for Horrible Histories and redirected there, but these actions were reverted and I was advised to take this to AfD. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED by the parent franchise or the publisher being notable and I can't find enough coverage to really show where each different incarnation of the books merits an article at this point in time or ever. It exists, but existing is not notability and not every book series needs to have an entry- as much as I'd like to have it otherwise. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:49, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete, a little bit close to notable I think, but not enough reliable coverage. Sources in article are mostly passing mentions. Antrocent (♫♬) 00:50, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete: As others have said, the available coverage is mainly passing mention, for example the 2007 NY Times article where they are one of several mentioned in the context of "Dozens of companies". Fails WP:CORPDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 05:23, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
