Fugly[edit]

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

Fails WP:NFILM. Unreleased movie, no particular notability about the production. After its released and IF it satisfies WP:NFILM, then try again. Safiel (talk) 22:15, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

support fails WP:NFF. Neutral - Tokyogirl79 has provided a reliable source showing principal photography "has begun today" - i am seeing a lot of not very reliable sources-the other information seems mostly from gossip sites. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:16, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, principal photography began in October 2013. They're filming the songs now, which makes it likely that they're probably doing the last few scenes before moving into post production. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 03:26, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Revert this title back to Wiktionary redirect, delete this article Seems like a non-notable production; if it does gain notability it can easily be added at Fugly (2014 film), where this should be, while the root word should remain a dictionary definition. Nate • (chatter) 00:44, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm still trying to find sources, but it looks like this has completed its principal photography and has received quite a bit of coverage. It's just that the film's name is bringing up a lot of false positives. I've got a few more places to look, but so far this does look like it might pass NFF. One thing to remember with India's news is that they're not big on overly long articles. A 1-2 paragraph/sentence article is about the equivalent of a 1-2 page spread in a North American paper.

WP:INDAFD: Fugly (film)

WP:INDAFD: "Fugly"

WP:INDAFD: "Fugly completed"

Comment: To be clear, the earlier AFD discussions listed above were for the word "fugly" as a neolgism. THIS article is about a sourcable film.[1] Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 05:38, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as its production meets WP:NFF paragraph 3 (or at minimum Redirect temporarily to director Kabir Sadanand). This is sourcable as having entered principle filming and as receiving the requisite coverage set by WP:NF. It might even have been completed filming (still checking) with announcement of a release date.[2][3] Move article after a keep or undeletion to Fugly (film). I urge the inclusion of the disambig "(film)" in the title only to prevent false positives when someone in the future says "W.T.F." and begins their own search for sources. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 05:38, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as it seems to meet Wikipedia's reqs for future films. I also encourage name change to Fugly (film). Also note that John Leguizamo apparently made/is making a film called "Fugly!" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1730760/?ref_=nv_sr_1 Orser67 (talk) 02:41, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tomas van Houtryve[edit]

Does not appear to meet WP:GNG John from Idegon (talk) 21:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This was wrongly framed. The article should be speedy deleted for copyvio as it is plagiarized from here: http://viiphoto.com/author/tomas-van-houtryve/ Jytdog (talk) 21:07, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I checked the source of which you accusing me of violating, its not a copyvio, besides I added another ref. Speaking of GNG, is it OK to cite references from magazines since the photographers work is there, but not online?--Mishae (talk) 03:05, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Simply having work published does not make a photog notable. you need reviews in reliable sources or evidence of notable awards, again from reliable sources. John from Idegon (talk) 03:34, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Reference from National Geographic is not from the magazine, but from a website and is not coverage in detail which is required of references used to show notability. The Indianapolis Star reference is simply a photo accredited to him--again nothing to notability. Simply being published does not give notability to a photographer any more than it does to an author. John from Idegon (talk) 16:48, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
leaning towards keep - lots of awards - http://www.tomasvanhoutryve.com/biography.html Mosfetfaser (talk) 08:47, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Note, someone claiming to be van Houtryve's assistant has requested at BLPN that the article be deleted. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:18, 14 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]
Keep. If he's good enough for VII, he's certainly good enough for Wikipedia. No, wait, that's not a notability criterion! All right then, in 2010 he got first place in PoYI's Freelance/Agency Photographer of the Year. Haven't heard of PoYI? It's run by an institute that's part of the University of Missouri. When Van Houtryve won the award, he thereby outclassed Marcus Bleasdale (third place). (Which of course makes photography sound like a cycling race or similar. Idiotic -- but you can't accuse photographers of dressing up like salesgirls, or [aside from a small minority exemplified by Dash Snow] of doping.) Incidentally, the request, mentioned above, to delete the page is now here. The request asserts that the biographee doesn't want a page, but doesn't start to explain why. (I'd wildly guess that it's because the article is a mess and there's not much hope for significant improvement; after all, most other WP articles about documentary photographers are perfunctory, or worse.) -- Hoary (talk) 04:02, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because of the awards and media coverage. One of the complaints voiced above is that the biography is a copyright violation of the VII article, but I compared the current biography and the very first instance of it with the VII piece as seen currently and the same VII piece as archived on March 1, eight days prior to the creation of the Wikipedia biography. I see no copyright violation between any of these four versions. Binksternet (talk) 04:41, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Update. The article now has added drones. -- Hoary (talk) 07:25, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:GNG. The article has no reliable sources and I could not find any elsewhere, neither under "Anima Xavier" nor under "Animal X". (But there are lots of hits for the second phrase with other meanings, e.g. as part of the phrase "animal X-rays", so I could easily have missed something relevant.) —David Eppstein (talk) 22:58, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Previously deleted via AFD; I am bringing this here for procedural reasons after removing an incorrectly placed PROD. While it is sufficiently different to not qualify for WP:CSD#G4, I have no opinion on this article's notability and I am neutral. Giant Snowman 20:39, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as lacking in depth coverage in independent third party sources as required by the WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 20:54, 11 March 2014 (UTC) (as PROD'er)[reply]
Delete - After taking a step back and deciding to look at this again with the presumption of notability, I still am unable to find any reliable third party sources that indicate notability. I think it sounds like an interesting company that could, one day, be notable. Just don't think it's there yet, and unfortunately the article reads to me like an advertisement.

Keep Hello gentlemen. Since I am an IT magazine publisher from Slovakia and I am really proud of our brothers (Czechs) having company like this, (recognized by Gartner, Cisco, Deloitte and known around the world) I was really missing an article about them in this encyclopedia, especially because US companies from the same R&D and business area like Lancope, Plixer, Appneta have theirs. I tried to use mentioned articles as a little guide how to write about INVEA-TECH. There are few third party references used, many of them I could provide in Czech, Slovak, Polish, German, Russian, and other languages, should I? I wanted to write this article in English because this language is an IT universal language, so it would be usefull for people all over the world interested in this company. Therefore, I would like you to keep this article, and maybe help me with changes, since it is my first article, and I am willing to write more right after I will get the principles. Thank you!

PS: I have not found more English language reliable references for now except those, I have included. And Mr. JMHamo I do disagree with you. If so, then many other articles should be erased, like those companies mentioned above, and since I know this specific area of IT Security, I think my opinion should be considered. Think about English language as an universal IT language. Idavac (talk) 21:45, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Cloudz679: - I would not say so, those are just scans of printed media, and I have not found them published online... Idavac (talk) 22:42, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

this one appears not to establish notability and reads mainly as a press release. The PDFs hosted on the company's own website, self-published or not, are unable to be translated automatically so are of limited value to this discussion. To be honest I don't have the time to go through 20 other sources, per WP:BURDEN I suggest you make a case of why the company is notable using the references you have access to. C 679 11:14, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Cloudz679: - This one is written also in English on the second page: https://www.invea.com/data/articles/2007-09-interface1.pdf, and about the case, I can do it, but honestly, need to find a little more time for that too. And I dont know if this one is a press release or not, but you are right, it looks like one, but it is in a serious magazine, so I really do not know, I guess we should not include that one.

Chorley and District Natural History Society[edit]

very local society of no demonstrable importance 'DGG (at NYPL)' (talk) 20:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect. There needs to be a List of natural history societies, to list this and others with articles, e.g. Birmingham Natural History Society, and others without articles (many, per Google). Then redirect to that list. The current article has nothing/little more than is needed for an entry in a list. There exists List of historical societies, but I think natural history societies are different.

Our Road To Kosovo[edit]

Article about a student documentary, created by the director (who also created the article about himself and has protested the tagging of both articles with COI tags (see the lengthy post on my talk page)). There are admittedly a lot of references, but most of them are either to the university the director attended (not a third party independent source), a couple to a local newspaper, one from a magazine and the remainder are from film festivals. I don't really know that much about films and what makes them notable, so I thought this should be brought to wider attention so that people who know what they're talking about can judge. What particularly concerns me most is that the film only has 23 hits on Google (half of which have been used as references), which is not what I would expect for a notable film produced in the last 10-15 years.

- IJA james.saldana did attempt to blank the page about himself after the first warning from an Admin Ruby Murray about contributing to an article about himself but the page blank was undone by the Admin Ruby Murray (no disrespect R.M.) and here we are now arguing about something that the subject himself attempted to remove based on the rules. Note, no such warning was given on the Our Road To Kosovo page. Film Blog 101 (talk) 15:29, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - wow, ref-spam. There's a whole bunch of "references" there, few of which would be considered independent enough by our standards. A university writing about one of its own students is not an independent reliable source. Much of the remaining coverage is from local papers (from the student film-maker's local area) or constitutes passing mentions in more significant press. Hardly significant coverage of the subject. The award it won was an Angelus Award which doesn't seem significant enough to confer notability. It's also won a couple of category awards at various local film festivals. Also not enough (in my view). I also have serious questions about the notability of James Saldaña who seems to have created an article about himself and his documentary and filled them with "references" from university colleagues and local papers. The biography, in particular, seems to hang it's hat on the fact that a production for which he was a cameraman received three Emmy nominations by suggesting he had a wider role in a pre-cursor production.

talk Temecula Valley International Film Festival and the Sacramento Film and Music Festival. Both are notable international film festivals that the subject's film has been screened at. Our Road To Kosovo won an award at the Temecula Valley International Film Festival and was screened at the Sacramento Film and Music Festival. Neither festival is local to Illinois, both are international film festivals.
- talk Note that the the Oscars - Academy_Awards like many other film festivals and festivals awards is a process of peer review, "(i.e. only directors vote for directors, writers for writers, actors for actors, etc.). In all major categories" ^[1] so what I said about establishing "notability" in film is factually correct. This practice is common throughout the film festival circuit and accepted by the public in general for the "notability" of film work in general. News and magazine articles about filmmakers are generally considered good publicity, criticism and look really good on DVD covers or Amazon product pages, but filmmakers general look to peers in their field as do academic researchers in order to establish "notability". Film Blog 101 (talk) 14:47, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to lack of significant coverage from multiple reliable sources. The brunt of the coverage is by Claire O'Brien at The Southern Illinoisan, which is a local newspaper in the town where Saldaña went to graduate school. (If we treat a film's release as an event of sorts, then WP:GEOSCOPE may apply here in terms of how little reach it had outside the town.) Beyond this, I only see passing mentions. I would suggest scrutinizing James Saldaña further as well, especially considering the COI in starting and writing the article. Erik (talk | contrib) ^{(ping me)} 15:49, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If you're a scientist "notability" is conferred by having your research published under peer review at an industry conference or in a professional journal. Same goes in the film world, having your film screened at a film festival or receive an award at film festival is how "notability" is conferred; all film festivals use some form of jury review. I viewed Stalwart opinion as "extreme" because newspaper or magazine articles citing a filmmakers accomplishments are not how notability is established amongst filmmakers. Sure articles about a filmmakers accomplishments are great publicity but it's not the standard of "notability" for filmmakers. A film festival in of itself is "significant coverage" - even if the film festival is not so well known in the circles of popular culture. Saldana's accomplishments are all factual but don't seem to be notable to non-filmmakers, such as journalists. The fact that he was a student at the time, in a non-filmmaking graduate degree program (his resume is online), doesn't depreciate the accomplishment of having his Kosovo film shown in several "non-student" film festivals in "non-student" categories, such as, the Temecula Valley International Film Festival and the Sacramento Film and Music Festival. The Both are international film festivals, maybe not Sundance, but reputable all the same for filmmakers. Who sets the standard for filmmaker's notability, Wikipedia or the film industry?

A film screening at a film festival does not mean that it is automatically notable to include on Wikipedia. Wikipedia's general guideline for notability is that "a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The specific guideline for films emphasizes retrospective notability where applicable. We do not count any film festival screening because that bar is considered too low.

Tinkerbell effect[edit]

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

None of the examples besides "the rule of law" have any form of proper source, and even that one only counts if you accept the premise of the paper. The "tinkerbell effect", as far as I can tell, is a trope. It's a relatively nebulous concept with a cute name tacked onto it that appears in various places in real life and in fiction. None of the actual sources refer to it as an actual phenomenon, but rather as a metaphor to make a separate point. There's just.. nothing here.

I think the article in Congressional Quarterly and a couple other reliable sources plus echoed in the popular press in a number of places makes it something people will search on and should have coverage on Wikipedia. The "reverse tinkerbell" makes it into a longer article so hard to say where it could be merged, it's more than a 1-paragraph concept to drop into another article (I think).

Keep I would argue that Nils Horner easily passes WP:GNG as well as Wikipedia:BIO#Creative professionals. He was the Asia correspondent for Sveriges Radio, which in itself makes him one of the most important radio journalists (or indeed journalists) in Sweden. The fact that we have more than four million articles doesn't mean that every notable person is covered. Some will have their articles created when they die. If one is unfamiliar with the subject in question it might be prudent to question the notability in a case like this, but it's hardly a good argument for deletion an sich. He was well-known and respected journalist; it's worth noting that when e.g. the prime minister and the foreign minister comment on the news, they don't vaguely talk about the tragedy of a journalist killed while working, the importance of journalism or something like that, but rather comment on the career and accomplishments of Horner. A few examples to support this: En radioröst att sakna, Nils Horner öppnade världen för oss, Nils Horners karriär, Röster om tragedin i Kabul. I agree that any Swedish journalist killed in Kabul would have been major news in Sweden (especially as news are written by other journalists), and coverage alone isn't enough, but there are better arguments than "it's in the news" to keep this. /Julle (talk) 18:32, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Source? Hes not mentioned beyond his own work. As mentioned then, the other source is on his death...and his death is not notable eitherLihaas (talk) 19:33, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I linked a few sources in my previous comment, from the three biggest Swedish daily morning newspapers. Is there anything in particular you miss? I'm afraid all my sources will be in Swedish. We've already agreed that it's not the fact that Horner died, or the way he died, that makes him notable. No one has argued that it is, so there's no need to refute it. /Julle (talk) 20:13, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you're not happy with just Swedish media, this piece from Hufvudstadsbladet claims that Horner was "a well-known voice in Swedish-speaking Finland" as well. Norwegian Aftenposten talks about him as one of the most important journalists working at Sveriges Radio, which per definition makes him one of the most important radio journalists in Sweden. /Julle (talk) 23:01, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As Julle. Rasmus 28 (talk) 15:27, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- If he was one of Sweden's leading journalists he would almost certainly merit a standalone article.

Developing an article on an individual who would mainly be covered in non-English publications adds an extra level of difficulty and I am disappointed the nominator didn't take this into account.

Nominator said the article was created almost right after Horner died, unsaid is that nominator nominatee the article for deletion about eight hours after it was started -- when he or she could have voiced their concern on the article's talk page. This would have been a more efficient use of the community's time than to make a nomination. For all we know nominator may have been convinced Horner merited an article after all, or nominator may have convinced others that coverage of Horner should be merged and redirected to another related article. If nominator had chosen to voice their concern on the talk page it is possible that their concerns could have been resolved, one way of the other, without any of the rest of us needing to be involved. Geo Swan (talk) 16:08, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep - WP:CREATIVE specifies that a creative professional is considered as notable if the person "is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors"; the sources that were already present in the article when it was nominated quote seven different leading journalists (including the editors-in-chief of a couple of the major newspapers, and the CEO for the public radio broadcaster, who was admittedly also Horner's boss) who, individually, refer to him as one of the best, or one of the leading, Swedish foreign correspondents. Yes, like tens of thousands of other eminently notable people outside the English-speaking world, Horner had no English Wikipedia article, but there is no doubt of his notability before his death. To say that he is referenced by "his organisation" is a little misleading given that his "organisation" is a major medium of news in Sweden - the national public radio broadcaster (and in any case the Swedish-language sources in the article are from the national public TV broadcaster, which is not quite the same organisation - not that that actually matters). --bonadea contributions talk 16:39, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He is a well-known reporter for Swedish public radio and his death also was covered well outside Sweden, in Norway in a number of articles in the public broadcaster NRK, this article also states that he was a well-known voice for many NRK listeners.

Comment: I'm finding some coverage, but it's slow going since this was initially released in 2000. The paperback version in 2002 is the one that got the majority of coverage. There's some reviews from various outlets listed on the Amazon page, but I'm loathe to use those towards notability unless I can find some sort of verification that they exist.

Keep: Nick Hasted, film journalist of The Independent, wrote an entire book using Angry Blonde as a primary source. It is entitled The Dark Story of Eminem [8] and would count for one non-trivial, sufficient, independent, published work. Another using it as a source that's non-trivial is David Aretha, author of non-fiction for teens, used it for the book Eminem: Grammy-Winning Rapper[9]. I found it referenced in a text called At Home and Abroad: Historicizing Twentieth-Century Whiteness in Literature and Performance (Tenn Studies Literature)[10]. It's quoted in The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English - Page 545. Tani Shaffer, PhD psychologist, used it as a source for Explicit Content: Why You Should Listen to the Shady Side of Hip Hop[11]. British sociologist, David Gauntlett, used it as a source in his book Media, Gender, and Identity: An Introduction[12].

Redirect to Online machine learning. Adaptive machine learning is a real topic; it concerns machine learning algorithms that must track or adapt to data ensembles that change over time, analogous to adaptive filters. Two examples are Adaptive Exact Inference in Graphical Models and this ICASSP tutorial. I've been unable to find an in-depth secondary ref for the general topic, so it seems to fail WP:GNG. But adaptive ML algorithms are usually set up as online algorithms, so a redirect to Online machine learning seems the best approach to me. I think the author made a good faith effort in this article, but the fractured English, the lack of context for the concepts presented, the unnecessarily narrow POV, and lack of reliable sources mean the current content isn't useful for WP readers. --Mark viking (talk) 19:56, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - the first two supporting refs appear to be blurbs accompanying items for sale and at least one of those is self penned by the artist. The third ref from La Salita appears a little better, but I have no idea how solid a source La Salita is in itself. It could be a forum for self-marketing artists or a local art club, I genuinely have no idea. As per JNW, a google search brings nothing.

Keep I checked the references one by one in spanish. All of them appear to be cultural organisations with no commercial profile. No sign of promotion of works for sale, no prices, no shopping carts. All background check on these refs results in purely cultural organisations. The first ref Ciutatvellaoberta.org is the cultural branch of the Town Hall of the Historic City Valencia,Spain in charge of organising the cultural events for the city. It is a solid check. The second ref La Salita, is an established arts center in Asturias, Spain, the background check is also solid, with notable involvement in the cultural activities of the City of Asturias, including the Noche Blanca event which is the oldest urban art expo in Asturias. The third ref YICCA, is the less solid of the three, since it is an arts contest with no cultural activity apart from its own exhibitions. In my view, what is stated currently in the article could be saved, since it reflects notable and verifiable involvement of the artist in urban non-profit cultural activity, mainly in Spain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiapprentic (talk • contribs) 14:31, 17 March 2014 (UTC) Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NYartreview Theroadislong (talk) 21:20, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thoroughly read, and for those who are not fluent in Portuguese, this is the rough translation:

Creator of liquid crystal technique on acrylic painting. Random - his artistic signature is considered an "outsider" art scene , but it is well acclaimed by critics. He has made his mark by donating 100% of the profits from their works. His works and funds have been donated for many years to charities and NGOs around the world, including the United Nations, UNICEF , Doctors without Borders, and the list is endless. Azar exposed outside the circuit of art galleries, and closer circuit Cultural Centers . His work is restricted to no more than 10 to 12 jobs per year for specific customers who must make their donations directly to the charity of your choice before they make delivery of the artwork . His works have been acquired in recent years by major collectors who have made generous donations to various works of Charity . Paintings Insignia : - Series "Women Striped " - series " Hope" - Series " glances " . Azar has been selected to exhibit their work at La Salita Cultural Center in 2013 and later his work was sent to the city of Valencia , where he was one of the works selected by the Government for exposure in the urban sample of Ciutat Vella Valencia .

Per previous interpretations here, that's a press release. Trying to pass it off as something more substantive is misleading. JNW (talk) 15:09, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Besides what pages is the queen's award is listed, I could not find one mention of the company in the document you added in a bid to keep it from being voted on for WP:Spam. (simon161388) 18:00, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(1) A simple listing of awards with independent references is not spam. (2) That section had been removed not as spam but as a mass-revert of the addition of copyvio [13], although that section on its own was not copyvio and should not have been removed. (3) On page 48 47 of the document you will see iNet Telecoms Ltd (Voipfone), Quote:

An Innovation Award is made to iNet Telecoms Ltd (known as Voipfone) for developing and selling a telephone service specifically designed for micro-businesses, enterprises with fewer than ten employees. The commercially successful service, using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to transmit telephone calls over the internet and other networks, responds to challenges related to size, diversity, sensitivity to price, flexibility and instability of very small firms. It incorporates a dedicated ‘cloud’ exchange, purpose-built software and a sustainable business model that supports changes in communication products at low prices without compromising service levels. Thus, customers can change numbers of telephone extensions and run them wherever there are network connections on a ‘pay for what you need’ basis. They are enabled to grow or down-size without penalty, inconvenience or additional cost.

Whether or not the subject passes the criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia is another matter, but discussants here should have access to the original references which came with the article. The normal practice when stubbing an article after the removal of copyvio is to retain the references and non-infringing content. Voceditenore (talk) 18:41, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral (Voceditenore) I looked at page 47 of the queens awards. and Voipfone article has no mentioning of winning this award. All it that has written is on Voipfone it is the fact of the company being internet based telephone service, and who founded the company. I certainly Voipfone did not invented Session Initiation Protocol also known(SIP). Voipfone is now totally misleading, and written for the purpose of wiki recommending Voipfone versus actually being an article about VoIP. Your name Voceditenore is very similar to Voipfone's name, so i have my suspicion whether you have WP:COI on behalf of Voiphone for how you keep defending this company's article. If this article was not written so poorly for the purpose of self promotion I would not have an interest in flagging it as WP:SPAM.

Page 48 47: "An Innovation Award is made to iNet Telecoms Ltd (known as Voipfone) for developing and selling a telephone service specifically designed for micro-businesses..." (my underlining) What part of that do you not understand? The entire document is the press book for the Queen's Awards for Enterprise published by the UK government listing the 2013 winners and brief descriptions of their citations. Read the title and introductory pages. The company is also listed as a winner in the HTML version here. That they won the award is indisputable. Whether or not that is significant in terms of meeting the notability criteria is another issue—it was one of 10 companies that won the Innovation award that year, so it's hardly an exclusive award. The article in its current state (and that's what is under consideration) is not written in a promotional manner. It is simply a neutral 3 sentence description of what the company does, when it was founded and by whom, and the awards it has received. As I said before, I have no opinion on whether the article should be kept. I simply added the missing references and awards so that the other discussants here could make an informed decision. AfD's are judged solely on whether the subject meets the notability criteria for inclusion. And please refrain from personalising this discussion. You are doing yourself no favours.

Maybe simon161388 thought he had to write the time stamp. Instead of being contructive editor, and finding ways to improve Voipfone articles. Besides you are proving that using this award is self promotion, and if Voiphone remains it is purely suggesting that wikipedia is reccommending Voiphone for phone service, as mentioned by talk. Besides you forgot to mention Voiphone on October 18 16:02 by Ip Address 69.23.116.82 who made a comment "(split up run-on sentence, removed external links that appeared to be self-promotion)" 69.23.116.82 removed those awards, including the 2013 Queen's Awards for Enterprise, and their references that were re added by talk. talk no one has contested the removal of these awards since removed once since October 2013, as they hold no merit as long as this WP:SPAM article Voipfone remains here.

Neutral It turns out that one of Voipfone directors Colin_Duffy also sits as a Internet_Telephony_Services_Providers’_Association director. Voipfone has won an ITSP award for several years straight as mentioned in the Voipfone article. Voipfone trades as the company iNet_Telecoms_Ltd Colin_Duffy has been the director for both companies since 2005. No other ITSPA member other than Voipfone had any of their directors elected or sat on the ITSPA board as a director. There is only three directors currently with ITSPA organisation, with Colin Duffy being one of them it makes almost seems like COI here with the ITSPA award being won by Voipfone. Simon161388 (talk) 14:52, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- My initial reaction was that a company with under 30 staff could not be notable. However the Queen's award points to notability. I hope that a link to this can be reinstated to the article. I do not give much weight to having a director involved in running the trade association: this may not reflect merit, but willingness to devote the requisite time to the role. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:29, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The link to the description of the company by the judges and the reason for giving the company the Queen's Awards for Enterprise is already in the article. (All the awards have online references.) At one point Simon161388 was issuing orders here that the citation could not be quoted because he considered it "spam". But there's no need to quote it. Readers can simply go to the reference. Voceditenore (talk) 19:46, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral -- Voceditenore, Just Because Voipfone has won the Queen's Awards for Enterprise last year. But the article is less than ten sentences long, please do explain why these references were removed in October of last year. Not a notable article for a company who won the Queen's Awards for Enterprise, but this article still lacks suitable content and notability outside of these Queen awards. Eight of the references mentioned is self promotion of interest, since it only mentions winning awards. Therefore makes and gives the impression from the content of the article, along with awards placed including the Queen's Awards for Enterprise as a mere recommendation from wikipedia.org to buy telephone services from the company's wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not the website for self promotion of products, and services. If Voipfone is are here to tell readers how many awards it has won over the past few years, and get the must needed exposure for winning the Queen's Awards for Enterprise, then Voipfone is in the wrong place. Speaking of which many notable companies such as Voipfone that have been around since 2005, should have 20 to 60 reliable references, and have 3 paragraphs of writing about their company in a neutral form. Most of these references should come from reliable third party sources that reputable,and mention about the company in general, other than just mentioning awards it won including the Queen's Awards for Enterprise. Since there is only two companies listed in the VoIP companies of the United_Kingdom, and as the Voipfone current six sentence article stands which makes it a candidate for self promotion in my personal opinion. Simon161388 (talk) 20:42, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Most companies except the largest will not have "20 to 60 " significant references--what they will have is 20 to sixty financial reports, and staff change announcements, and press releases. In general, most of these probably should not be in the article--the place for organizations to keep track of that cotnent in on their web site. We're NOT a directory, both in what articles we include, and what content we include in them. DGG ( talk ) 03:04, 19 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article is redundant as it is just a copy of This] catagory. Jeffrd10 (talk) 13:25, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:CLN categories and lists are not duplicative, and this list contains more information about each of the listed persons than a category can contain. Most articles about cities and towns have lists of notable people like this one; when they get too long for the main article, they are split out into a separate article like this one. --Arxiloxos (talk) 14:16, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:NOTDUP, "It is neither improper nor uncommon to simultaneously have a category, a list, and a navigation template which all cover the same topic. These redundant systems of organizing information are considered to be complementary, not inappropriately duplicative." NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 14:34, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - like those above I can see the subject being notable under different circumstances and it's probably only a journalist's delay on the way to a futsal game that has made the difference in coverage. But that's the standard we use and I stuck out (to use a different sports metaphor) in term of additional sources. Stalwart111 02:59, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I should also say I'm not immediately convinced by the awards either. Most seem local (within the ACT) from an area that doesn't have a national-level football franchise to which the subject might have naturally progressed. It's a shame. Stalwart111 03:03, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sara Dylan[edit]

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

"Incidentally, if the woman's only real claim to fame is genuinely that she married someone for some temporary period of time, she should not have her own article at all. She should instead merely have a redirect to [famous-person-she-married#Personal Life] (or whatever). I am not sure it's clear that this is her only claim to fame: both articles mention that she inspired at least some of Dylan's lyrics. But again, if this is all she did, then she should be mentioned in the appropriate article about Dylan or about his works." -previous editor also echoed by a second and third editor. I've looked over the article and it does not seem to meet the level of notability in WP:notable. Even if it is not deleted it is vastly bloated with unsourced material, gossip and OR. Alatari (talk) 12:59, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. I don't know what bizarre process breakdown led to this silliness, but Sara Dylan (also known as Sara Lownds) is highly notable. There are shelves of books written about Dylan,[15] most of which mention Sara, because Dylan wrote many of his best songs about or to her. 1329 Google books hits. 101 Google scholar hits. 33,900 google hits. [16][17][18][19][20] There is nothing to discuss here. — goethean 13:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All those books are about Dylan, not Sara. The songs he wrote about her, their marriage and divorce all belong in his article. She needs to have done something notable onto herself to get her own lengthy article with such extreme bloat. The majority of the article is bloated, unsourced and WP:fancruft. Incidently I am the third editor on the talk page to suggest that her article doesn't meet the criteria of WP:notable. Alatari (talk) 13:24, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Of all those hits found I can not find any biography of Sarah. If she has one published then that would nullify my objection. Alatari (talk) 13:31, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So improve the article. She is notable. There are many, many good sources. — goethean 13:28, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That is the job of the editors that keep adding paragraph after paragraph of unsourced material. I'm not tracking down sources they were responsible for adding in the first place. Alatari (talk) 13:31, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it's "not your job" to improve the article, then you should go find some other article which you do think that it is "your job" to improve rather than wasting people's time with a futile AFD. — goethean 13:54, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So you are trying to push the work of other editors that add extensive unsourced material onto me? It would be better to just delete all the unsourced material. The whole articles existence has been questioned three times now. I am improving Wikipedia by deleting an article that is not notable. Alatari (talk) 14:08, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not pushing anything on anyone. Either improve the article or don't. But nominating an article on a topic that is clearly notable is a waste of everyone's time. — goethean 14:17, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We obviously disagree and that is why it is nominated as suggested by two previous editors. You want to keep the article so the burden of finding her own published biography, proof that she wrote some of his songs, recorded and sold her own widely purchased music, successful career as a model, parts in movies or television shows, etc, something that doesn't obviously go in his article (songs about her, marriage, divorce) is upon you. Alatari (talk) 15:09, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A person does not need to do any of those things in order to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. The relevant policy is WP:BASIC:

A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.

Sara Dylan have been the subject of multiple secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, an independent of the subject. Therefore, Sara Dylan is notable. — goethean 15:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bob Dylan was the subject of all the sources you listed, not Sara. She was mentioned briefly in a few paragraphs or less as an event in his life. Maya Angelou's has her husband's sir name Tosh Angelo and he is mentioned in 6 pages of Googlescholar links but he also doesn't rate having his own page. [21]. If she wrote poems about Tosh, does that give him his own page? It is not notable enough because it was about him and he didn't accomplish anything. Mary Patterson Leary was Langston Hughes mother and mentioned repeatedly in works about him [22]. All she did was birth a famous man but his father was an active abolitionist in his own right and has a page Charles Henry Langston. Alatari (talk) 16:17, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Delete~~ - Nominator.
- Per: WP:NOTINHERITED -Family members of celebrities also must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria on their own merits – the fact that they have famous relatives is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article. Ordinarily, a relative of a celebrity should only have their own independent article if and when it can be reliably sourced that they have done something significant and notable in their own right, and would thereby merit an independent article even if they didn't have a famous relative. Note that this also includes newborn babies of celebrities: although such births typically receive a flurry of press coverage, this testifies to the notability of the parent, not the child. In other words "Inherited notability alone is not necessarily enough notability."
- Per: WP:ENTERTAINER -
  1. Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions. - No. She has only one credit at IMDB [23].
  2. Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. - her ex-husband yes, no evidence she has a cult following.
  3. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. - She has not been prolific or innovative as a model. She has one Harper's photo in 1965 [24] and the cover of Dimestore Medicine [25] and she never was cover model. Alatari (talk) 20:31, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: If inherent non-notability due to being married to someone is a problem, then why does Anne Boylen have an article? Seriously? This AFD is reflective of systemic bias and sexism at its worst. She meets GNG criteria with coverage in reliable third-party sources. That said, the article needs improvement and work, but that's not a criteria for AfD. SheeshMontanabw^(talk) 01:56, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Boleyn is the subject of numerous books in her own right:

The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn: The Most Happy by Eric Ives

The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn: Family Politics at the Court of Henry VIII by Retha M. Warnicke

Anne Boleyn: A new life of England's tragic queen by Joanna Denny

Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's Obsession by Elizabeth Norton

The Lady In The Tower: The Fall of Anne Boleyn by Alison Weir

And more[26]. Are there a similar number of books about Sara Dylan as a primary subject? Because I can't find them. --Colapeninsula (talk) 11:41, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

tl;dr. Used hyperbole to make my point; plenty of people are famous simply for being married to a famous person, Boleyn a prime example, she's been dead about 500 years, so plenty of time to write books; here we have plenty of people with WP:GNG-passing wikipedia articles don't have books written about them, my favorite being Lawnchair Larry. Seriously, if I put that up for an AfD, people would scream bloody murder. But women? No, not notable. Double standard alive and well. Montanabw^(talk) 00:13, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Anne Boleyn was Queen of England. That is not at all comparable to what we have here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:08, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Sara Dylan does not have any books solely written about her, unlike Anne Bolyn. I'm not nominating Hugh Heffner's or Howard Stern's (ex)wifes (and I noticed that Howard's first wife might be notable enough to have an article but she does not) for deletion because they have at least 15 entries of professional acting on IMDB plus cover spreads in magazines. I researched other similar situations of famous men's wives and their own Wikipedia pages to convince myself I hadn't made a mistake in this nomination. Sara Dylan has one acting credit for a minor film and no covers as a model. We have to go by the rules stated in WP:PEOPLE. Lawnchair Larry is notable because of item 3)Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. by being the first man to fly a lawn chair to 15,000 feet. Has Sara Dylan done anything unique and innovative to make her notable? Did she write some of Bob's songs? Did she manage his act? Did she perform her own music anywhere? Alatari (talk) 06:50, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is from guidelines of invalid arguments when determining notable criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia that needs repeating. WP:NOTINHERITED Family members of celebrities also must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria on their own merits - the fact that they have famous relatives is not, in and of itself, sufficient to justify an independent article. Alatari (talk) 06:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She was a significant and often written about muse of Dylans. For a less significant person than Dylan much of what is in the article would already have been merged into the main article, but that article is already large enough and if placed there would have to be separated out because of WP:SIZE. She is also mentioned quite frequently in Dylan song articles, so WP has already created a need for more information than just "Dylan's ex-wife". A special thanks to the nominator for removing the non-referenced fluff from the article. --Richhoncho (talk) 07:27, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Question - So are you basing your decision on the basis as a muse which is covered on the section Sara Dylan#As subject of songs? It's sourcing needs to be airtight and it's a mess. Heylin is mentioned but no links provided to his Dylan biography. Unattributed claim to generic fans and a few explicit statements that are unsourced. The last line is solid and sourced and the statement on their son's opinion also solid. If someone who has an interest in the subject, knowledge of the sources (I came to the article to read about Dylan from YouTube video so obviously not my strength) and is motivated would please work up that section with at least 4 independent sources then I would switch my vote to keep. Alatari (talk) 02:33, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Answers. Your nomination is based on "not famous" whereas the criteria for Wikipedia is "notable" and that the article was a mess - which is not grounds for AfD and save that after your good work it's a reasonably solid article. WP is a work in progress and all articles need work. All the references are solid with the exception of the fan site at Tripod. BTW I am basing my decision on the fact she was his muse for 15-odd years including the inspiration for some of the most significant parts of his work. --Richhoncho (talk) 06:53, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment actually I nominated on the criteria that she does not meet notable level of entertainer:fashion model (only 1 picture in Harpers) or entertain:actress (only 1 film credit) and that she does not inherit her husband's notoriety. There needs to be 4 independent sources supporting your reasoning that she is notable due to her muse status to Bob Dylan. There are only 2 sources and several uncited claims leaving the section that supports her inclusion in Wikipedia as a muse to Bob not sufficiently supported to keep. This needs to be corrected. If 4 independent sources for her being a muse can't be found then it fails the Basic notable test. Alatari (talk) 01:51, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: ON the subject of a "muse" this gives even better examples: Marie-Thérèse Walter and Fernande Olivier were both primarily notable for their association with Picasso. Sara Dylan definitely in the same camp; works created either about her or inspired by her. Montanabw^(talk) 18:40, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Then PLEASE just provide 2 more sources in the relevant section and resolve the debate. I would be starting from scratch spending 6 to 8 hours reading sources looking for the relevant information while you and others are quite familiar and could find the information and add the 2 additional sources (especially something from Heylin which is quoted and unsourced) to her article thus shutting down this debate and closing the nomination. Alatari (talk) 01:51, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Incidentally, the original nomination language is from Telsa and also TheScotch who both questioned the very existence of her page. If I hadn't seen and evaluated their objections I would not have made this nomination. See Talk:Sara Dylan#Should this article exist?. Alatari (talk) 04:00, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Alatari. Comment. As you confirm that you now think that Sara Dylan is notable with this post on another user's page, I suggest you withdraw your AfD promptly. Thanks. --Richhoncho (talk) 09:09, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Agree with points above by goethean, Montanbw and Richhoncho. Sara D is famous in a way comparable to Anne Boleyn and Fernande Olivier; her marriage to a major artist and her role in his music makes her notable. The article should be improved and I'll work on it over next few days. A useful source is The Bob Dylan Encyclopedia by Michael Gray, since Gray provides meticulous references for all his information. Mick gold (talk) 13:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No real assertion of notability beyond 1 case, sources are web ephemera, etc. Agricola44 (talk) 15:30, 12 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

I have shown more than one case; there are additional cases online; including: http://www.law360.com/articles/405013/producers-settle-actor-s-suit-over-bristol-palin-reality-show

Also Attorney James L. Walker, Jr. was honored by Lawyers USA: a legal publication http://www.hiphoppress.com/2006/09/lawyers_usa_hon

Lawyers USA has ceased publication, like many other print magazines, due to the advent of online magazines and online publications. (See: http://lawyersusaonline.com/) It is purely your opinion to consider this ephemera. I have given evidence of three notable cases, a book that has gained coverage, and there have also been hundreds of notable clients who have been represented by Attorney Walker. There are many individuals whose notability is less than his; yet, they have Wikipedia pages. The evidence for Mr. Walker stands under the Wikipedia guidelines for notability. If not, how does Johnnie Cochran have a Wikipedia page when his "notability" comes from one case alone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elijah Adefope (talk • contribs) 19:29, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

— Elijah Adefope (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment. Let me address those two points. Regarding sources, most of them are not reliable sources that are independent of the subject. For example, the one you just listed above citing an honor by "Lawyers USA" is from a hip-hop fan magazine that solicits user-material and was posted by an author only known as "phh" – this is not an acceptable source. Regarding why Johnnie Cochran merits a page, the man has oodles of text written specifically about him in high-profile secondary sources like The Washington Post. In other words, he has been heavily noted. Therein lies the difference. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]

1) James Walker has been covered in sources including Huffington Post and CNN (high profile secondary sources) 2) The only reason that particular source was given here is because the original source that covered it (Lawyers USA; a legal publication) is no longer in circulation. 3) Johnnie Cochran's notability arises from one case. The reason why so many sources have covered him is because of that one case. His name is synonymous with the O.J. Simpson Trial. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elijah Adefope (talk • contribs) 20:44, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The topic is indisputably notable, and AfD is not "articles for cleanup". Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:08, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Basically it is not a well-written article. Is "curved TV" even the right title? Not "curved screen", which most of the article uses. It is also full of technical nonsense, like the "focal plane" (??) being somewhere else, and this sentence: "Curved screens, however, make it possible to keep the distance light has to travel to reach all points of the screen more or less the same and in this way eliminates the (pincushion) distortion" is obvious nonsense. Pincushion distortion is caused by lens faults, not geometry: a pinhole projects a rectangle (the source image) onto precisely a rectangle (on a flat screen) by simple 3D geometry. The difference in distance affects the light level, so if anything causes the corners to be darker. The stuff about aspect ratios is all wonky too.

Keep Since the nomination, this article (now called Curved screen) has seen a near complete rewrite by Sidelight12. It is no longer promotional and is much more encyclopedic in tone. The sourcing in the article is still fairly light, but there are a number of reliable sources out there, particularly about curved projection screens: "curved projection screen" gets 121 hits at GScholar. There also exist articles on curved screen TVs in the Wall street journal, Ars Technica and CNet, all reliable sources. The topic easily passes notability thresholds per WP:GNG. A rewritten article with the major problems fixed and a notable topic suggest keeping the article. Nice work, Sidelight12! --Mark viking (talk) 00:50, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. More can always be done for the article's neutrality. Mostly repetition was removed, parts were reworded, and ars technica's analysis was added.

EMoney Advisor[edit]

It appears that the subject is non-notable due to WP:AUD. "Well," you might argue, "we should merge this article into the article about one of the subject's parent companies."

No.

~~This would be most unwise, for one major reason.~~

~~The article fails WP:NOTFORPROMOTION; so it should be deleted, not merged.~~

~~It reads like a puff piece created by a paid editor. It's full of marketing speak.~~

It says that, by 2004, the company had more than $5M in revenues and more than 2,200 clients. By 2007, over 20K advisors used the company's software, with more than $110B of assets "running through the system". (What does "running through" even mean?) All italics are mine. In fact, it appears that there are eight numbers and figures in the article in all, and that six of them include a modifier such as "more than" or "over". Perhaps, in a past career, the article's author was an ad copywriter.

~~The article says that the subject was named one of the "top" companies to work for in Pennsylvania, but I doubt that the source (Best Companies Group) is a reliable source.~~

~~Delete per WP:NOTFORPROMOTION. Perhaps someone else less biased will recreate the article from scratch later.~~

[Edit: Jeremy has kindly removed all the blatant promotional language. I still fear that Jeremy may have carefully chosen to include only positive information, and to omit all negative information, when writing the article. But I have no evidence to support my fear. And so I have changed my mind. We should not delete the article. We should either keep or merge it — whatever the community decides is wisest.]

[Edit: DGG has now chimed in below, and is wiser in these matters than I am. Plus, it still appears that the article fails WP:AUD. Please delete per DGG.]

Delete Non-notable. A small company that has now become a minute part of a much larger one. I do not agree the product has been shown to be important--it is used by many firms, but in how significant a role? Very trivial products can be used widely too, but it doesn't make them notable . The apparently impressive financial figures given are not for the firm, but the total financial strength of all the purchasing companies put together, which is trading on borrowed notability in a wholly promotional manner. The entire thing should be deleted,and a sentence put in the article about the main company, with a redirect. Keeping promotional material in the history is ill-advised, and we should stop doing it.

Krokodilpoort[edit]

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

The only development to this article since its creation has been going from "Small town in Transvaal in South Africa." to "Krokodilpoort is a town in Mpumalanga, South Africa." In eleven years, we went from seven words to eight. Coordinates were imported in 2009 from an article on the Swedish Wikipedia which was soon thereafter redirected. I tried several times to find concrete mentions of this place on the internet, but the only thing I could find was the 'Krokodilpoort Mountain Bike Challenge' which is actually held near Witrivier. The coordinates point to a railway station near the Krokodilrivier but there isn't as much as a hamlet nearby, never mind a town. Concerns about the existence of this place were raised as early as October 2002. Perhaps we should delete this article, as it's not clear that this place even exists. eh bien mon prince (talk) 05:30, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sonic the Hedgehog (2011 film)[edit]

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

Such a film does not appear to exist, despite my wishes to the contrary. Interestingly, a reference to a first full-length Sonic film did appear on a poster at a Sega conference this year, but this is likely an offshoot of Sonic Boom and was definitely not out in 2011. Moreover, the appearance of well-known actors like Hayden Christiansen is extremely unlikely, and, as I'm rather intrigued about why such an article would be created now, the only relevant trailer, while pretty cool, includes none of these actors, not that it would necessarily be notable anyway.

STOPzilla[edit]

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

The software does meet the inclusion criteria Babeuf 09:57, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Criteria[edit]

The software is discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field. References that cite trivia do not fulfill this requirement. (...)

STOPZilla does not meet this criterion. The sources do not show the significance of STOPZilla.

The software is the subject of instruction at multiple grade schools, high schools, universities or post-graduate programs. This criterion does not apply to software merely used in instruction.

STOPZilla definitely does not meet this criterion.

The software is the subject of multiple printed third party manuals, instruction books, or reliable reviews, written by independent authors and published by independent publishers.

STOPZilla does not meet this criterion. There are no printed sources and the positive reviews are not reliable written by independent publishers, considering there is a lot of critique and these reviews keep dead quiet about it.

It is published software that has been recognized as having historical or technical significance by reliable sources. However, the mere existence of reviews does not mean the software is notable. Reviews must be significant, from a reliable source, and/or assert notability.

STOPZilla does not meet this criterion. The sources do not show the significance of STOPZilla.

I highly recommend this article for deletion. STOPzilla has been written in a form of some spam advertisement for endorsement and self promotion of their product. Burbank.63 23:59, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but rewrite. It has several reliable third party sources, it just needs to be rewritten as less of an advertisement. If people have reliable sources about the critique they are welcome to use them in the article. As it stands no-one posting the negative information has been able to source it reliably. Jarkeld (talk) 09:01, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, Jarkeld did not tell us why this software should be relevant. The problem is that this article promotes a software, that is malware, at least in its free version. There seems to be no reliable sources of this fact, probably because this software is not important enough and this company pays "sources" to review the non-free version, which might not be scareware. It is quite interesting how the user Jarkeld protects a version of an article that promotes malware. I personally think, articles like these are quite bad for the reputation of Wikipedia.Babeuf 10:25, 16 March 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Babeuf (talk • contribs)

The problem with your opinion is that you can't deliver reliable sources on that. I am not protecting a version of an article that promotes malware: either produce sources that it is malware or move on. All I am doing is keeping unsourced negative information out of the article. Someone who is better at writing can clean up the promotional tone. As for notability: the software has been reviewed and rated by several sites/magazines. Do you have sources that prove that they are paid for writing up positive reviews? If not: move on. What is interesting is that you seem to have come out of retirement just to nominate StopZilla for deletion. Jarkeld (talk) 10:48, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The general consensus of authors and reviewers of their conferences is that they organize only good conferences and some of them are actually excellent conferences (rank A); many of their keynote speakers are top scientists from well known universities such as MIT, ETH-Zurich, etc. Frequently they co-operate with or are technically co-sponsored by ACM, AAAI, IEEE and other prestigious international associations. Furthermore, most of their conferences publish proceedings at SCITEPRESS and post-conference best papers with Springer LNAI, LNBIP, LNCS, CCIS, and others. 85.244.136.210 (talk) 23:35, 15 March 2014 (UTC) — 85.244.136.210 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

All the sources seem to either be about VOIP in general, or about the 0700 numbering scheme. Most are from many years ago, and none seem to mention the company. DGG ( talk ) 00:36, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Commercial spam. Xxanthippe (talk) 03:38, 11 March 2014 (UTC).[reply]
Delete, per WP:SPAM author obviously has a WP:COI in this company and is now being disruptive on wikipedia. WP:CSD_G5 is likely to cover it in the near future. Martin451 13:35, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Note. Martin451 has endorsed a WP:SPAM article Voipfone which I mentioned and has been poorly written, and is pure spam. Martin451 please note raising flags on spam articles is not considered being disruptive. Martin451 has no sufficient reason to delete this article other the fact I been raising flags on some questionable articles and sources, which have not been moderated for several years. Also note Martin451 has not mentioned any reason to have this article deleted, other than accuse Simon of being disruptive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon161388 (talk • contribs)

Raising multiple AfDs because the WP:SPAM article for your own company has been nominated is WP:Pointy and disruptive, especially when those articles are for your competitors. Using WP:SOCK puppets to !vote in AfDs will get you banned. Sometimes it is good to call a spade a WP:SPADE and you are not here to be constructive. Martin451 14:28, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Martin451 has brought up the fact that this article for deletion for the fact for my involvement of flagging Voipfone for spam. Martin451 also wants Voipfone WP:SPAM article to remain by using the WP:COI and WP:Pointy cards. The fact Voipfone is WP:SPAM and needs to reviewed by the wiki team. Allowing Voipfone to remain, and Blue Penguins to be deleted will undermine the wikipedia foundation for WP:SPAMMY article, regardless if they flagged by simon161388 who has WP:COI in Blue Penguins. This is where Communal Consensus comes in and decides whether Voipfone, or Blue Penguins remains or gets deleted. Not Martin451 who wants to use disruptive behaviour, WP:COI and WP:Pointy cards to keep me from flagging WP:SPAM site such as Voipfone is not disruptive behaviour. I personally will understand if Blue Penguins is spam and must be deleted, but for Voipfone to remain on wiki indefinitely due to the fact it can has been for several years without a compliant or a flagg to the communal consensus is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon161388 (talk • contribs) 17:03, 11 March 2014‎

Comet pokorny[edit]

Possibly a hoax (especially given the absurd "artist conception" of the comet) but even if the article is factual, this comet does not appear to be notable. Pichpich (talk) 00:18, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been unable to even verify the existence of this individual. DGG ( talk ) 00:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The only other thing that pops up is this, which is this article verbatim. Maybe he existed, but certainly doesn't meet notability guidelines if no one else can be arsed to write about him. Bali88 (talk) 01:41, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The page Bali found has an extra paragraph so maybe what we have here is a copyright violation. Anyway the article has no verification or even a particular claim to notability. Utterly no use as it stands. Thincat (talk) 09:12, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Looks like a copyvio of a hoax: the source above says something about a festival. I'd expect that to show up somewhere: it doesn't.TheLongTone (talk) 20:57, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
