  • Comment. I'm not yet decided if I think Fat Bastard needs his own article, or if there's enough room for him at List of Austin Powers characters, but it may be worth noting that a GScholar search of <"fat bastard" "austin powers"> yields almost 100 hits, including some that (based on the excerpts in the search results) may discuss this character as some sort of archetype or exemplar for various purposes. Possibly worth a look. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The article can use sourcing certainly, but the nominator seems to forget WP:NRVE... IE: Notability is dependent upon coverage being available and not upon use in an article. In looking, it is easy to find Fat Bastard covered directly and in detail in sources such as Time Magazine, Today, iVillage, Buzzfeed, Us, and Empire, is referenced in multiple books,[1][2] is now an action figure and heck... the fictional character has even been honored by having a wine named after him.[3] Why not source the article to serve our readers rather than delete? Schmidt, Michael Q. 17:44, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This character doesn't deserve its own article, the examples you found are rather trivial, nothing that could not be discussed in the List of Austin Powers characters.--eh bien mon prince (talk) 04:23, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What you suggest as a solution might have been a reason for a non-controversial redirect and merge (not a reason for deletion), only IF the target would not be overwhelmed by that solution. Schmidt, Michael Q. 19:26, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Unjustified copy of essentially what is already covered in the main Steam (software) and/or Early access article. So delete and redirect to main article. Does not meet Wikipedia:Article size and WP:NOTNEWS.--Vaypertrail (talk) 22:34, 27 March 2014 (UTC) Vaypertrail (talk) 22:34, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Gamaustra writer believes it is particularly Valve's introduction of Steam Early Access. Many of the other article writers also believe this program is having a major impact on the industry. Other information that can be added to the article would be a History section providing background information on other Early Access programs and Steam Greenlight, a Platform section that discusses how the games are distributed, a Reception section dealing with critical analysis of the program, an Impact section dealing with the impact on the industry, and maybe a Library section discussing some of the more notable games that have been introduced through the Steam Early Access initiative. The article is short, but I only just started it a few days ago so it can hardly be expected to be FA quality so soon. --Odie5533 (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Greenlight is not the same as Early Access; it's very much orthogonal, so there's no point in discussing Greenlight in depth there. And everything else you have there is exactly what I've got set up at Early access, barring the importance of Steam's program and that's simply because it hasn't been added yet to this other one. Yes, right now, Steam's version is the largest, but that doesn't mean we should favorite it over any other comparable program (particularly Minecraft's approach which didn't even touch Steam). --MASEM (t) 23:44, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe both are notable, and I don't consider having an article for Steam's platform favoring it anymore than it deserves. Also, there is a point discussing Greenlight because the articles I've read about Steam Early Access discuss its relation to Greenlight. --Odie5533 (talk) 00:06, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • But they are still orthogonal processes; related but not connected in any other fashion beyond being a way for indie devs to take advantage of Steam features. A sentence or two to discuss Greenlight's nature is fine, but a whole discourse on it in an Early Access article would be wrong. And while I'm not saying that Steam Early Access itself isn't notable, it is more the case that of anything about Early Access right now, most of it is centered on Steam's version (take away the Minecraft effect, and 90%+ of what's left is Steam-based Early Access). To that end, the broader topic of Early Access makes sense for the only article to cover it, even if a good deal of it will be about Steam's version. That is, we only need one article to cover all of what all Early Access programs will be, and we should be doing that at the broader topic of non-branded Early access. --MASEM (t) 16:48, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I see this as similar to having an article for Kickstarter, while also having an article for crowdfunding. (from below) I don't consider the topic "brief" as there are dozens and dozens of articles discussing both Early access in general and Steam Early Access in particular. As you note, Steam Early Access is the largest early access platform. I expanded the article a bit, though it could still use a lot more expansion, particularly a discussion of Rust, DayZ, and Starbound, three largely successful titles. I'd ask you to look at the page again and possibly reconsider your position. --Odie5533 (talk) 17:24, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I really don't see it equal. For one, Kickstart is also a company, so there's aspects besides the crowdfunding nature to consider. Second, there are a lot more crowdfunding services/businesses than just Kickstarter, so separate articles for the two make sense. Here, Steam Early Access is one of very few, and perhaps the most important, version of early access. As such, at the present time, it is very difficult to talk about early access without going into detail on STeam's early access since it is the proven replicable model out there for it. Hence the two topics are presently so tied together as discussing them separately makes no sense. --MASEM (t) 18:18, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge to Early Access. I created that article with the intent that any further detail of Steam's Early Access program could be covered in there along with the importance of other equivalent programs. There's no reason that Steam's specific version needs a separate callout. --MASEM (t) 02:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Note that I'm not saying that Steam's version isn't notable, but I don't think talking about it separately from the other equivalent programs makes sense. --MASEM (t) 03:02, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • And to note, this is very much a search term, so the redirect should be left behind. --MASEM (t) 03:03, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • The redirect would have to be left behind anyways, to preserve the edit attribution. ansh666 03:17, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Is there any amount of reporting and critical analysis which would ever tip the scales to have an article for Steam Early Access, or are you completely set on it never having an article? It seems like no matter how much support I could find to keep the article, you'd still want it deleted. --Odie5533 (talk) 00:49, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • At some point in the future there might be enough sources - right now, no; having two separate articles is an unnecessary breakdown of a rather brief topic. --MASEM (t) 16:49, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • How many sources about Steam Early Access would there need to be? 25? 50? More? --Odie5533 (talk) 09:06, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge to Early access and Steam (software), and redirect to the former. I scanned both articles, and the Steam article doesn't seem to make any mention of this at all. ansh666 03:17, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • FWIW Steam's version is mentioned under "Developer Features" at the Steam article. --MASEM (t) 23:40, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge per Masem. Sven Manguard Wha? 07:00, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into the main article on the game where this would add to that article. As it stands, this article itself says "Early access rose as a funding model with the release of Minecraft...", so there is nothing particularly notable about the use of "early access" here - it's not the first case, and appears to have simply been chosen as a funding option. I also notice that despite the first use of "early access" funding being for Minecraft, we don't have an article on "Minecraft Early Access". This article is just about the funding option used, and it's not even a notable use of that funding option. RomanSpa (talk) 07:39, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's not the first case, but it's the biggest and most important one in existence, the one everyone always talks about, and the one Gamasutra specifically commended for pushing alpha funding to the next level. --Odie5533 (talk) 09:03, 6 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    • Agree with Vectro on the delete, but I actually viewed the fact that there were few editors as further reason to delete, since the article has been around for 5 years. Almost all of the content was written by the originator of the article, who hasn't contributed to wikipedia beyond creating this article in 2009, and I also found that while a peacock tag was put on the page almost immediately, an anonymous IP then removed it while making some other innocuous edits.

Contested A7 speedy. Fairly well cited although cites are mostly print/not readily available. Tawker (talk) 21:32, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - I don't really understand - there are links to most of the sources listed in the article and even if there weren't, sources need not be online. Some of the sources listed focus on the subject - whole academic papers worth of coverage. I'm not sure how this could be considered non-notable. What am I missing? Stalwart111 22:32, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Anyone who wants to know what the Nippon Kaigi is – here is the information, short to the point and with references. No idea why someone wanted it to be deleted – maybe the one does not like it mentioned per se – who knows.--Catflap08 (talk) 06:50, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The scope of Nippon Kaigi' s activities is national in scale. The neo-nationalistic positions and the influence of Nippon Kaigo on the Japanese Government have attracted widespread attention. It has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable, secondary sources, that are independent of this organization. These are cited in the article, including reputable Japanese and international Newspapers (New York Times, Asahi Shinbun), peer reviewed Academic Journals, and books from well-known publishers. The sources allow to expand the article in the future. I think the article reflects the cited sources in a neutral way, I don't see any POV pushing. JimRenge (talk) 13:50, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - He's had a long career in the Azerbaijan Premier League (winning it once with FC Baku), but the online Russian-language sources I've found only provide routine coverage (this is the most detailed coverage I could find but I doubt it's a "reliable source"). Perhaps there is more detailed coverage in Azeri-language sources, but I'm not good at searching for them. Jogurney (talk) 22:24, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Player has not played in fully professional league, nor played senior international football, so fails NFOOTY. No indication of any other achievements garnering significant reliable coverage to achieve GNG. Agree with Jo he has had a long career, but looking at the number of games he has played, he hardly looks like a regular player.

  • Comment: There are plenty of sources. You just have to be willing to take the time to find them. There are more sources than what you listed above. I don't see what the big deal is about this page when the second movie's page only has a few sources. Plus the third movie doesn't need a whole lot of sources because you can get a bunch of information off the official website which is made by the creators of the movie, which is listed as a reference. Also, Lionsgate Publicity IS a reliable source. It seems like some people skipped over that source. I don't think the page should be deleted. AustinPuppyUSA (talk) 02:02, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem is that we need sources to show how it is notable. From what I saw of the page's existing sources, most of them were unusable. The thing to remember is that what we need is coverage in places such as news outlets, reviews from reliable sources such as say, Twitch Film (or critic reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes), and the like. Existing does not mean notability. WP:PRIMARY and merchant sources cannot show notability, nor can you use places such as IMDb to show notability either. Nobody is really questioning the factual-ness of the article, but its notability. As far as saying that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, I don't see where the second film currently meets notability guidelines either. I'll try to find sources, but offhand it looks like it should also redirect to the main article as well. The thing about pointing out other stuff is that in many cases the pages don't pass notability guidelines and haven't gotten nominated for deletion yet... and pointing them out frequently speeds up their demise. Other times you can have films that do gain coverage, but later sequels do not gain any true media attention. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:30, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Never mind. My edit was taken out because it's not professional reviews. >.< AustinPuppyUSA (talk) 21:05, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • (edit conflict)Those reviews were not professional, i.e. blog post reviews and do not contribute to the notability of the film per WP:NF. BOVINEBOY2008 21:07, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge/redirect per above. This is the third time that this has come to AfD. (See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alpha and Omega 3) Each time the decision was to redirect and the problem is that nothing has been added to show that any of the problems with notability have been met. I found one sole review by Commonsensemedia, but that's really it. Nobody else has given this film any true coverage to show that it merits an article of its own and the sources on the article that were usable aren't really enough to show a depth of coverage. There are things that show that the film exists, but existing is not notability. (WP:ITEXISTS) No amount of primary sources can show notability. If the film were to ever gain more coverage then we can always get it un-redirected, but not before then. Given that this has been re-created several times and there has been several attempts to turn it back into an article despite the previous versions, I'd say that the redirect should probably be protected in some form or fashion, possibly by deleting the article history to discourage someone just un-redirecting this. I normally don't endorse that, but the article's history shows that after it's redirected people just un-redirect it repeatedly. Perhaps admin only editing until someone can prove that it meets notability guidelines? Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 05:45, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Redirect/Merge (again) to Alpha and Omega (film)#Sequels until this project gets enough independent reliable coverage to meet WP:NF. Note: The previous AFDs resulted in redirects per failing WP:NFF and being TOO SOON. I appreciate this being returned to mainspace as it has finally been released, but the issue is now one "does this have enough coverage for a released film to meet the caveats of WP:NF".

COMMENTS AGAINST DELETING THIS PAGE:

I. It is true that University College Roosevelt (situated in Middelburg) is linked to Utrecht University. It is wrong however to call it 'not an independent' college: financially speaking, and at the level of organisation, UCR is independent. For instance diplomas of UCR graduates mention "Utrecht University", however the college's management is entirely independent, as is it's Board of Trustees. Especially when comparing UCR to similar colleges in The Netherlands, such as UCU (University College Utrecht) and UCM (University College Maastricht), one should admit its special status: it's not just another faculty / campus of Utrecht University. For these reasons, I find it unjust to delete the UCR Wikipedia page, simply based on one argument saying it's "not an independent college". (27/03/2014 - 17.34h).

II. The fact that University College Roosevelt is not independent (which is debatable; it has its own identity, it's financially independent and only in name is it part of Utrecht University) should not play a role in deciding whether or not to delete its page. UCR absolutely deserves its own page. The page is accessed and used a great deal by past, current and future students. People who have never heard of UCR can find information about it on this page, and can use it to determine whether they would like to apply. This is a valuable page, and the fact that it is so extensive should show how dear it is to so many people. The wiki page for UCR is a valuable resource, it seems beyond belief that one would consider getting rid of it simply because it isn't formally entirely 'independent': it doesn't matter at all. Wikipedia has pages on countless provinces in countries, yet we don't say that because the provinces aren't independent that we should get rid of those pages. I urge you to keep this page on UCR online.

A tad ridiculous. Birkbeck, University of London is also not an independent university, but nonetheless (deservedly) gets its own page. In many ways, University Colleges in the Netherlands function in the same way.. especially when located 80 kilometers away from the larger 'mother' university! In fact, see Colleges of the University of Oxford for a whole bunch of candidates for deletion that use wikipedia solely as 'outreach location' and 'advertising'. 87.195.173.178 (talk) 21:32, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Yes, it's part of another university, but it's effectively a separate institution with its own identity. As the anon above says, we have many articles on such institutions that are technically not independent. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The article should be cut down to the relevant, non-promotional basis - I agree - but the institution itself is definitely relevant. It functions as a geographically and educationally distinct institution. DimiTalen 14:48, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Do not see any advertising aspects within this article, moreover at least the UCR is financially totally indepent.

Redirect to Sultanpur (Lok Sabha constituency), in line with common practice at this type of AfD. There is some slight unfairness to this, given that no fewer than three of his opponents seem to be genuinely Wikipedia-notable for their previous political careers, but this is not the place to be making major changes to Wikipedia policy, and the only real alternative policies (including everybody who has ever declared their candidacy for a national legislature, or deleting articles on all politicians coming up for re-election) would have major countervailing disadvantages.

I'm completing this nomination on behalf of Strikertype (talk · contribs), who informs us, presumably reliably, that the subject of this article requests its deletion. It seems that this is because the gentleman concerned is a "fringe theorist" who is not very happy with Wikipedia's treatment of his WP:BLP.

  • Keep, I am not sure if I understand this afd. The user Strikertype claims Radin wants the article deleted, but Radin has not published this anywhere official i.e. it's not on his blog. There's many reliable sources and notable scientists on the article that discuss Radin such as Victor Stenger, Robert L. Park, Chris French, Ray Hyman, Massimo Pigliucci, I. J. Good and Brian Josephson etc. There's absolutely no reason why this should be deleted. Goblin Face (talk) 13:10, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I vote to delete biographies when non-notable and semi-notable people request deletion, but this person is clearly notable. It's not a particularly flattering biography, but it's within policy. It could probably use a bit of work to improve the neutrality, but I can't really say that I would expect a parapsychologist to get a warm reception anywhere but in fringe quarters – and WP:FRINGE limits that kind of coverage. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 13:27, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, we should inform Strikertype (talk · contribs) that if Radin really does want the article deleted, he needs to follow the proper protocols (an email to OTRS from his personal email account to verify his identity is one way) to make the request. If we get verification delete as marginally notable. Otherwise, keep. Jeremy112233 (talk) 13:34, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep -- A quick glance at the German WP (in translation) suggests that there is rather more to say than is appoarent in the English WP article. It says that he died in 2011, and provides a longer bibliography of works mostly issued (re-issued?) as pdf files in 2010. The fact that someone took ther trouble to issue the works of a theologian who wrote in the bygone context of GDR (and retired soon after its demise) agains suggests that he was significant. Peterkingiron (talk) 18:02, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • It could have been his children. Sources, please. German WP says nothing concrete beyound him being in dissent with GDR and Stasi-watched. But we know Stasi watched everybody. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:45, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The German WP may have good quality control, but their lack of inline sources and the fact that the sources in this article are not linked, make it difficult to verify that these are more than just in-passing mentions... --Randykitty (talk) 18:48, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I hope that difficulty is not being suggested a reason to delete an article. It is surprising to see that although the citations issue is raised here in WP so much that so much still gets into the system without ANYTHING to source it out. I tell people all the time that if you want to state something then you have to provide a means by which someone can determine if it has any level of credibility' we all do not have personal contact with each other and of course there is always the chance that you are not available to confirm.76.170.88.72 (talk) 00:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Of course, not, that's why I only wrote that as a comment, not a !vote. It is perfectly fine to source stuff to sources that are not online, but that generally does not make it easier to check those sources. Just sayin'. --Randykitty (talk) 12:06, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I've added an English language source from Googlebooks which makes it clear that he was a highly significant anti-State figure and that his surveillance was much more intensive than that of ordinary East Germans.

  • I've now translated and transferred the information on de:Wiki, and added a little more from google searches. There is a lot more out there and the article could certainly be expanded with more time than I can presently give it, but I think there is enough to show notability as a theologian, a political/ecclesiastical figure and as a writer (with works still in print). BTW the information was not difficult to find... Eustachiusz (talk) 18:34, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No indication of subject's notability, i.e. a grassy hill 40 km from a city in an unspecified country. (I have fixed that...) This version of the article read like a time share brochure. Nothing has inherent notability, so I'm not sure why this hill warrants an article, except that it is the "highest mountainous location in the north-eastern area of Bagh". There are no references or data for comparison to other hills. (Fun story: The article on Bagh, Azad Kashmir stated "The people of Bagh are brave, courageous and skilled, especially the artificers in the field of bakery & confectionery." Brave, courageous candymakers. You can't beat that! I have boldly removed that content.) I'm not married to deletion, so if a merge into Bagh, Azad Kashmir makes sense, consider this a a vote for that as well. Also, there appears to be a duplicate article at Danna (Pakistan), which I have nommed for speedy delete under A10, duplicate content. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 19:14, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • As Wikipedia is a gazetteer also (per WP:FIVE), we don't delete articles about a locality or geographical location/place unless it is a WP:HOAX. Also it seems the place's full name is "Las Danna". And from a cursory search it appears the place do exists.

I have declined the speedy deletion under the criterion A7, since the reference is real, but it is obvious that the article has no place on Wikipedia in this form; it consists of little more than preaching. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 18:03, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment @Mike but it is obvious that the article has no place on Wikipedia in this form; it consists of little more than preaching. Did you mean the format, writting style or extra informations given in the article by this. I haven't understand properly the exact meaning. But I must tell you that I have corrected some of the format errors, copyedited and corrected some expressions. I don't know about the source because it is not online. But I will try to find some reliable online sources. I was wondering that if you too can help me find some reliable sources. Jim Cartar (talk) 12:52, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The Tabligh Jamaat remains a very important movement. If this gentleman was one of its founders then he is almost certainly notable. Unfortunately, much of this article is a word for word copy of the The Tabligh Movement or Millions of Bearded Militants on the March. I am going to assume this is a good faith mistake. If the cut and pasted material is in the public domain, due to age, then it needs only to be properly attributed, as we do with articles that contain material cut and paste from the 1918 version of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. If Ramzan is truly notable, the article could be rewritten. But, if no better sources are found, I would prefer redirecting this to Tabligh Jamaat. Geo Swan (talk) 20:06, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to nominate this page for deletion, or some kind of modification. I am one of the members of this band and I wrote most of the content in 2008. It isn’t accurate to describe the band this way, since it ignores the previous history and later history of the band and was mostly made in late 2008 with a misunderstanding of the intent and nature of wikipedia. Also, one of the core criticisms of the page seems to be that the tone or style does not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on wikipedia, which I absolutely agree with.

It was nominated and survived a deletion request, and contributors have added to it, but it is still inaccurate. The only other solution would be to edit the content to account for the previous 8 years to 2009, and the last 6 years of this project, and with my understanding of wikipedia now, I think it’s inappropriate for a member of the band to update it.

I still think that this should come down, but I think my original intention in making this page was simple playfulness, being excited about the band, but also to try to assert that sources of information like independent radio, blogs and independent journals can bypass mainstream critical and social validation often achieved through marketing. There aren't any sources that cover music like Sound Projector, Textura, Freak Zone, college radio, and things like Lost at E Minor, and these have been the only places the Lickets, and many, many other projects have had any support. Mitch Greer (talk) 23:42, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, I guess. It's an unusual request, and general practice for an outdated or inaccurate article is to fix it, not delete it. But that said, an unusual request is not an unreasonable one, it seems a harmless request and the band's notability is borderline, so I think we should do the decent thing and honor the request. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:40, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If fixing is an option, that would of course be ideal, but since so much of it (all of it from what I can tell at a glance) was generated by one of the subjects it would probably be best to start from scratch, not only to adjust the tone but to correct details that really only a band member would know. Apologies if this formatting isn't correct, I'm still very new to wikipedia. Mitch Greer (talk) 04:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so based on the feedback from Andrew Lenahan with the suggestion to fix it, I'm going to go ahead and update it to reflect the current and past history of the band. Spaceagecrystal (talk) 20:26, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Updated. It's now accurate and I believe the tone is appropriate now, so I withdraw my desire to delete the page, but if this isn't acceptable I absolutely understand. Thanks so much. Spaceagecrystal (talk) 21:08, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:14, 6 April 2014 (UTC) Snir Yamin is a singer-songwriter originally from Tel Aviv, Israel.[reply]

Snir Yamin started his music career in 2006, after losing his father in a car accidnet. Together with his high-school band, they first performed in front of a club in the city of Netanya. Back in 2006, the club, named "Muza", was one of the biggest clubs in the Central District of Israel. Snir and the band decided to break up after a year of work.

In 2009, after 3 years of life experiances, writing and composing, Snir was invited to take part in a big production in Israel. It was an Acoustic Night Showcase at the biggest Rock venue in Israel – The Barby Club. Snir performed as a headliner together with three bands. In the same year, Snir has signed a collaboration contract with the biggest cellular company in Israel, Cellcom. The collaboration allowed the cellular company to distribute and use for commercial and promotional contents Snir Yamin's first single, Yofi Shel Sheket.

In 2010, Snir Yamin has started to perform his own original acoustic songs. In the same year, Yamin's released two singles, produced by Reuven Hayun. Those singles were played on Israeli Radio Stations and TV programs such as Reshet Gimel, Kol Israel, Galatz and 88 FM. They were also reviewed in Israeli music magazines, online and in prints. Later that year, Snir was invited by NMC Entertainment company to take part in a charity benefit concert at the Barok venue in the city of Be'er Sheva, together with other artists such as Hadag Nachash, Efrat Gosh, Dudu Tassa (Big names in the Israeli music industry), Israeli Idol winners and Dana Lapidot. It was one of the biggest charity events in Israel in front of 6,000 people.

In 2011, Snir Yamin's got his first recording contract from an England producer who lives and works in London. Snir traveled with the production crew to London for two months for the purpose of tracking his first extended play (EP). The recording process took place at the prestiges SNAP! Studios. The EP was released in February 2014 with Nana Disc Music Label in Israel. The same year, Snir Yamin took part in the biggest yearly event of Israel Independence Day, called Rock Atzmaut. It was a two million dollar investment with the top Rock artists and musician in Israel.

In 2013, Snir traveled to New York for the purpose of cutting a master to his first EP. On that trip, Snir got into a recording studio in the East Village of Manhattan, called The Cutting Room. After tracking a few tracks over two-month period, the studio and label manager arranged with Snir a recording deal for three years. In meantime, Snir released a 4-track EP for international audience called Urban Stories, which received lots of attention from the media in a ways of reviews, features, interviews, sells and ratings. The EP was released in September 2013, with the assistance of NYC based publicity company named Effective Immediately PR and Nana Disc Music Label in Israel.

I'm not sure these push the article past the WP:GNG, as the latter is an interview (those are counted as a primary resources?) and neither blog is necessarily notable.

@Humain2: - As I tried to indicate in my original comments, and perhaps did so poorly, I completely agree that the article is pumped full of promotional content (so much so that I had trouble cutting it from the article, as I indicated on article's talk page). For my own future reference, though, I'm curious what makes the Wamda article (the hypebot article is an interview, so that counts as a primary source?) look like sponsored content to you? By no means am I arguing to keep the page, and the blog appears unnotable, but the writer appears to have no affiliation with the company and his content doesn't appear to be lifted from a press release. Again, I'm only asking for future reference; I'd like to be a better researcher. Thanks! EBstrunk18 (talk) 19:58, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@EBstrunk18: - Thank you EBstrunk18 for your investigation.

Notability concerns, as well as promotional tone. The Grammys and other awards are probably sufficient to stave off an A7, but I don't they're enough to constitute automatic notability; I think they were all awarded to albums that Killen had worked on, not necessarily to specifically Killen himself. The only cited source is his agent's firm (who almost certainly wrote the Wikipedia article), and a basic search for more sources turned up nothing significant (and a lot of apparent static from other people with the same name). The article is certainly promotional in tone, though it is perhaps not so unsalvageable that it warrants G11. Regardless of that, though, I'm not overly familiar with the music business, so I'd certainly like to hear more opinions. Writ Keeper  19:29, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[9] That website doesn't appear to have search functionality for nominations so I couldn't check those.

Keep as is, no doubt. The article's length is quite decent, and I've improved it, take a look. This article should definitely not be merged with the main Greek diaspora article, as the latter briefly summarizes the subject in key points and has no place for such long information. However, the current title is wrong and implies that Palestine is a country, which it has never been of course. So instead of naming the article just "Greeks in Israel", the more appropriate and politically current title would be "Greeks in Israel and the region of Palestine", which will refer both the state of Israel today as well as the geographic region called Palestine.

If we assume good faith, the two sources at best only mention these phrases. I conducted Google searches and it appears that "Anti-Nazi propaganda" and "Anti-Hitler propaganda" are phrases used by pro-Nazi (which I won't linked to here but you can search and see what I mean) and anti-Jewish websites. Notability and NPOV are the main reasons for deletion. I am One of Many (talk) 01:41, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Appears to be presenting the twisted mindset of Nazi apologists as fact ("Anti-Nazi propaganda is openly and commonly used in popular Adolf Hitler and World War II documentaries" - !), and no sensible definition of this term seems likely. Nick-D (talk) 11:01, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, doesn't appear to be covered in sufficient depth to support an article. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 11:59, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Of course the article is a stub, but just the fact its being considered for deletion really makes me question Wikipedia's neutrality. If Wikipedia doesn't recognize the article, then I certainly wont be a part of this anymore. - Jonas Vinther
  • Comment Nazi's are a touchy subject. It is mentioned above that "Anti-Nazi propaganda" appears mainly in pro-Nazi articles, which makes sense; it's hard to find someone neutral who would defend Nazi's, even against a false accusation. If I walked into a crowded room, and yelled out "Nazi's hate puppies!" no one would come to their defense, especially with the risk of being labeled as "pro-nazi." Proving notability for this article will be difficult: neutral, verifiable sources will be near impossible to find. Greedo8 17:14, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or Redirect to Adolf Hitler. If there were some substantive content in the article, as to propaganda that was issued by people who knew it to be false, I might take a diffenret view, but at present we have no more than a dictionary definition with two citations, one of which is to a book that has no proper citation. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:53, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I cant seriously believe this conversation/discussion is actually happening. If you don't regonise Anti-Nazi propaganda exist, you are certainly not a neutral Wikipedian, and a big idiot! - Jonas Vinther
    • In regards to this comment, please see WP:ENN. The issue is whether or not it is notable, not whether or not it exists. Also, removing the deletion template as you did here and here is against Wikipedia policy, and does not stop the deletion process; it only makes it more difficult for other users to comment on the discussion. Furthermore, calling other users "a big idiot!" is not civil, please don't do it. Lastly, I would appreciate it if you sign your posts with four tildes like so: ~~~~. See WP:SIGHOW. Greedo8 21:15, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've had enough. I'm not going to be part of this completely non-neutral encyclopedia, who's also heavily influenced by propaganda. Do whatever you want, I'm leaving. Jonas Vinther (talk) 22:14, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep User:Jonas Vinther Hold on. You can't judge all of Wikipedia by these few editors. We have a page called Reductio ad Hitlerum. First of all, since the article refutes the fallacy that "It is bad because Hitler did it too" or "Hitler promoted X, therefore it is bad". The fact that we have such an article helps a neutral image. But anyways, this article doesn't seem notable to me, because we do not have any examples. If we can find examples, then the article can stay for certain, because if we are able to find examples, the article is notable. I say we should allow time for examples to be found before we destroy it. --Mr. Guye (talk) 23:49, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment People, also remember that we can display content without promoting and endorsing anyone's opinion's or arguments. In other words, just because we reveal other's opinions doesn't mean we agree with them. --Mr. Guye (talk) 23:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • You indicated "keep" even though you concluded that the article is not notable? We don't keep article on Wikipedia based on the hope that they will someday become notable. I am One of Many (talk) 05:23, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Mr. Guye I actually do have dozens of examples, but before I could continue the stub article, it was nominated for deletion. That's what I think is very rude, and non-neutral. I agree that you can't judge an entire page because of "some" certain users behavior. I had a pretty bad day, and perhaps I exaggerated. Yet, I stand firm in my belief that if this article gets deleted, in the belief it's not relevant, or that Anti-Hitler Propaganda doesn't exist, I will, with certainly, leave, because that would prove that this encyclopedia is not neutral. I could add much more details to the article, but then I want to be assured it's not going to be deleted. Jonas Vinther (talk) 22:14, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you have reliable sources that go into depth about this topic and thereby establish notability, then do add them. This is an encyclopedia. Articles must by notable and neutral and the article does not meet these criteria yet. Consider that there may be good reason why "anti-nazi propaganda" is not notable. Quoting from propaganda "Propaganda is a form of communication aimed towards influencing the attitude of the community toward some cause or position". Due to the facts of what the nazis and Hitler did, ant-nazi and anti-Hitler propaganda likely played little or no role influencing attitudes towards nazis or Hitler and thus it lacks notability. I am One of Many (talk) 17:11, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I could certainly do that, but it would seem like such a waste if it were to be deleted. If we can conclude that the article deserves to be an article and not deleted, I can add tons of information and sources. Jonas Vinther (talk) 22:14, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Also, I think Anti-Nazi propaganda is very notable, but nobody talks about it in the fear of being labeled as a pro-Nazi. Personally, I'd say it could boost Wikipedia's neutrality image, that this article is kept. Jonas Vinther (talk) 22:14, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Although the term probably exists, the article provides no references to reliable sources that discuss it, making the article a dictionary definition at most. Also, the (original research?) content seems to be, incredibly enough, an inept attempt at Nazi apologism.  Sandstein  20:26, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Appears to be a non-notable example of the phrase "anti-X propaganda". Sjö (talk) 20:01, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Since there is an article for Nazi Propaganda, I'd say it should be kept. Besides, like I said in another comment, I think it's very notable to all serious historians, but no one really takes it any further in the fear of being labeled as a pro-Nazi or Nazi symphatizer. I'm sorry, but you simply cannot deny the existence of Anti-Nazi/Anti-Hitler propaganda. Jonas Vinther (talk) 22:05, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If the matches were notable, the article could easily be re-jigged to simply show a list of names for each match rather than a formation.

KeepWith all due respect, User:Ahecht, this scientist does meet WP:PROF, as is evident from his GS h-index of 39. [12] Jinkinson talk to me 00:49, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The standards in WP:PROF don't say that an h-index determines notability, and 39 is just a WP:BIGNUMBER. From WP:PROF: "Measures of citability such as the h-index, g-index, etc., may be used as a rough guide in evaluating whether Criterion 1 is satisfied, but they should be approached with caution because their validity is not, at present, completely accepted, and they may depend substantially on the citation database used. Also, they are discipline-dependent; some disciplines have higher average citations than others." Also: "GS includes sources that are not peer-reviewed, such as academic web sites and other self-published sources. Thus, the number of citations found there can sometimes be significantly more than the number of actual citations from truly reliable scholarly material. In essence, it is a rough guide only." --Ahecht (TALK

  • Keep. The citation evidence is not overwhelming for this field, but the career corpus and participation in some impactful work would seem to meet at least WP:ACADEMIC.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 14:46, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete No references, no reason to believe it's notable. After reading the article, I'm still not sure what it is. Profession? Business? The practice of taking care of people? Greedo8 17:18, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Essentially a dictionary definition for a concept. No refs. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:25, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
