Keep Sources are in Estonian, but there's no shortage of coverage e.g.[1][2][3][4][5] Hopefully someone with more knowledge of the Estonian language can fix this. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:34, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the subject passes WP:BASIC. Source examples include: [6], [7], [8], [9]. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 09:24, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete without prejudice. The subject may or may not be notable, however, neither the current article or sources in there indicate that. As it is atm, the article is a typical COI-edited (editors such as Brorbjork (bjork is birch in Swedish, Kask in Estonian), K.a.s.k.project, Teet Kask) vanity article relying on self-published sources (Youtube channel, Facebook page). I would support keeping the article if it is stubbed or rewritten from scratch using proper sources and neutral point of view. --Sander Säde 21:07, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article written by a single purpose account and is, more or less, a promotional CV of this visual artist.

Ischiopagi[edit]

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

Having read the criteria for deletion of Wikipedia, I do not find this article to be needed, especially when we can summarize the entire article in a few sentences on the conjoined twins page. We do not need individual pages on each type of conjoined twinning, when we have the information on a broader page. The Awkward Axolotl (talk) 21:15, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't agree that the information in this article could be summarized in a few sentences. Even if it could, the appropriate outcome would not be delete but merge. GoldenRing (talk) 09:43, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that the Classification system can be merged into the Conjoined twins article; however, the remainder of the article is all already in the latter and doesn't need to have its own. We already have Prognosis, Embryology, Treatment, etc. in Conjoined twins; it isn't only applicable to Ischiopagi and the article speaks of conjoined twins in general. The Awkward Axolotl (talk) 19:26, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment I also neglected to add that we could add several of the details from the aforementioned sections into Conjoined twins, but I stand by my original response.The Awkward Axolotl (talk) 19:29, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep, no convincing argument for deletion. Obviously it is a sub-topic from Conjoined twins, but as far as we have enough things to say about it a separate article is perfectly valid. Cavarrone 07:12, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- My argument for deleting it was that the article is redundant when the necessary information can be summarized in Conjoined twins - having said that and read what GoldenRing had to say, I now believe that we could merge the necessary information from Ischiopagi into the Ischiopagus section of Types of Conjoined Twins in the CT article. The majority of this information does not apply solely to Ischiopagi but to all conjoined twins - if we remove that, then the article becomes incredibly small and could then be merged into Conjoined twins. The Awkward Axolotl (talk) 18:55, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - such lists are not redundant if created properly, and many are FLs - see for example List of Birmingham City F.C. players. This one, however, has no discernable inclusion criteria, so just seems to be a laundry list of random players.

Vince Molinaro[edit]

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

A well meaning editor has created this article without anyone explaining to him or her the notability issue. All sources in the article as it stands are self-written, passing mentions, and so on. He does have a book on NYT and other bestseller lists, but that's not enough. I've encouraged the creating editor to find appropriate sources and pointed him/her to his debate.

See Template:Did you know nominations/Vince Molinaro. EEng (talk) 19:05, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I contributed most of the article so obviously I vote Keep. It seems to me that Dr. Molinaro is a notable author because his book, published by a fairly reputable publisher, John Wiley & Sons, was on the New York Times Bestseller list. ~~But if you choose to delete it, please move it back into my user space/sandbox at User:Woz2/Vince Molinaro. I'll work on it when I can.~~ Or leave it in place with a {{Notability}} tag. Thank you. Woz2 (talk) 20:50, 29 May 2014 (UTC) Delete 71.174.67.162 (talk) 18:39, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You need to read WP:CONSENSUS and think about how inappropriate your post just above is. No, it's not obvious that you "vote" keep, because (a) this isn't a vote, it's a discussion which will continue to the point at which it's clear that most of us agree on the right answer, and (b) you're supposed to be forming an opinion based on your best attempt to understand applicable guidelines and apply them to this situation. It's already been pointed out to you (at the article Talk page linked above) that writing a bestselling book does not make a person notable -- the article is about this man, not his book, so for notability we need sources about him, not how well his book sold. Yet here you come repeating the same argument as before. You should be commenting on how you think applicable guidelines apply to the facts here, not thinking of yourself as in some kind of tug-of-war where each side pulls the hardest until someone trips and falls. I repeat, for the last time, that if you want to see this article kept, go find sources making substantial comment about the man himself. I've tried and found nothing. An editor posting below has tried, and found nothing. You, for obvious reasons, may succeed where we have failed. So please focus on that or I'm afraid all your effort will be wasted, which would really be too bad. EEng (talk) 02:44, 30 May 2014 (UTC) P.S. If it helps put things in perspective, I just noticed that John Grisham's (!) notability is being questioned, because thought he's sold a lot of books and a lot has been written about them, apparently not much has been written about him. So many or most of his books may be notable (and therefore warrant an article on WP) but he may not be. Actually, I suspect that in the end someone will find some NYT or New Yorker profiles of him, etc., and he will turn out to satisfy notability, but again, the fact that it's being questioned should put things in perspective for you.[reply]

EEng, Maybe it's the nature of text-based communication, but I'm getting the sense both here and at the DYK that I've inadvertently written something that has annoyed you and that this whole thing isn't about the article at all, but about your annoyance at me personally. If this is so, I apologize for annoying you. I didn't mean to.Woz2 (talk) 13:05, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing that annoys me is that you're spending a lot of time talking about everything other than finding sources that will establish notability and save this article which you created, which is the only thing that matters here. EEng (talk) 15:13, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've already invested a lot of time in it. I think the article is worth keeping as it is. Woz2 (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As EEng has explained, we are looking for substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. For books, this requirement is often met by bona fide independent reviews in newspapers, magazines, scholarly journals, and the like. Blurbs on the cover of the book don't count because they're not independent. NYT bestsellers will usually (but not always) get some reviews; but my quick look through some Google results didn't come up with any such reviews, not even at Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews. --Arxiloxos (talk) 23:20, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. To be sure there's no confusion, the question here is notability of the author, not the book, so reviews of the book won't really help here either unless (as reviews sometimes do) they go into substantial background about the author. EEng (talk) 02:46, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to WP:AUTHOR section 3: Reliable sources referencing an author's work bestow notability on the author. Woz2 (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No -- you're cherrypicking individual words from the guideline, which actually says

3.The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.

We need multiple ... independent ... articles or reviews discussing Molinaro's work. Not "referencing". EEng (talk) 22:24, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any cherry picking at all. And frankly I am not sure what it is that you are driving at. Are you suggesting that a best selling author is NOT notable? If so I can only say that your position is inconsistent with both common sense and longstanding consensus within the community with respect to interpretation of section 3 of WP:AUTHOR. Are you suggesting that the subject IS NOT in fact a best selling author? I believe that this notability conferring assertion is incontrovertibly backed by reliable, independent and verifiable sources. Unless I am somehow misunderstanding your position, always a possibility and I welcome correction, your repeated insistence on more sources would seem to be suggesting that the sky is not blue. More sources are ALWAYS desirable. But in this case they are not essential, as the subject's notability is clear. -Ad Orientem (talk) 23:27, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're so confused it's almost like you're trying to be funny. When a book is a bestseller, that doesn't even make that book notable -- see WP:BKCRIT where, you'll note, "being a bestseller" is no part of the criteria. Instead, as usual, there have to be multiple independent sources etc etc.

And even if one of Molinaro's books was notable, that doesn't make him notable, because WP:NOTINHERITED. The test for his notability is (sigh) multiple, independent ... (shall I go on?) about him.

You've contradicted yourself again. First you said you wanted sources about him, then sources "discussing Molinaro's work", now you're back to him. The "that" clause of AUTHOR3 clearly means "work that has been..." not "author that has been...". Notability of the work makes the author notable. And being in the New York Times makes the work notable. Woz2 (talk) 14:39, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I won't be responding further since it's clear the result will be delete. EEng (talk) 03:35, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete As others have explained, the primary criterion for notability is significant coverage in secondary sources. I'm not seeing that, but if you can find independent, reliable sources that provide significant coverage of his life or career, then please bring them forward and I'll gladly change this to keep. TBH, he seems like the sort of person who ought to have such coverage but doesn't. GoldenRing (talk) 10:01, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Subject is the author of a best selling book, a fact that appears to be reliably sourced. IMO this would seem to satisfy section 3 of WP:AUTHOR. Additional RS sources would be nice though. -Ad Orientem (talk) 11:45, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for the reason given above by Ad Orientem. Eustachiusz (talk) 14:36, 30 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~Changed to delete - ~~passes WP:GNG by way of sourcing, and WP:AUTHOR by way of a Times bestseller. We almost always keep bestselling authors, unless their article is so spammy as to be total crap.~~ Bearian (talk) 20:33, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've always respected your judgment, so maybe I'm having a senior moment. Can you point me to something supporting "We almost always keep bestselling authors"? (I can't find it in the link you give.) My recollection is firmly the opposite e.g. a bestselling fad diet book might be notable, but even if it is, its nobody author about whom nothing has been written other than promotional blurb, can at the same time be non-notable -- and as I said above, WP:BKCRIT, quite strikingly, doesn't mention "bestseller" as a notability criterion for a book (forget its author), and similarly WP:AUTHOR says nothing about bestsellers either. I'll be happy to be corrected on this. In the meantime, take a closer look at the sourcing -- can you point to even one source with the kind of coverage required? EEng (talk) 20:42, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We don't normally keep authors based on best seller status. There have been a couple long consensus discussions about this over the years. It's really only a gauge to keep looking for independent secondary sources. We normally keep authors based on book reviews, per WP:AUTHOR. A best seller will usually have book reviews in reliable sources. -- GreenC 01:34, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

One reason we don't rely on Best seller lists is it's possible (and common) to simply buy your way onto the list. Not to make any specific accusations but "business leadership solutions" are typical of the type. One way you can tell is if the book reached a high mark on the best seller list (#4 in this case) and then disappear after a single week. It means there was possibly a bulk-buy to get on the list. -- GreenC 01:43, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, "I see," said the blind man. Bearian (talk) 21:57, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Of the sources present, I'm seeing:

Seven articles/books written by Molinaro (or books containing articles/chapters written by him) - obvious primary sources.
His bio at his workplace - another non-independent, primary source.
Three links to best-seller lists - okay for establishing that the book was on the list, but not significant coverage.
A link to an awards list - again, fine for establishing that he was given the award, but not significant coverage.
Five articles about other things/people, containing canned statements from Molinaro - again, not significant, independent coverage of him.

So I'm not seeing notability established in secondary sources, contrary to some claims above, either of him or of his book. GoldenRing (talk) 08:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. The best-seller status means little other than to keep looking for book reviews, which I did. It's odd this was a best-seller with no book reviews. -- GreenC 13:34, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
At the bottom, I added some hits from the Highbeam teaser page. If anyone has an account that can get past the pay wall, they could flesh them out. They don't show up on Google.

I'm not leaving because of the article. What did you think of Paula Ketter's T+D book review, by the way? 71.174.67.162 (talk) 07:54, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good source reliability wise but T&D is a specialty source so doesn't have a lot of readers, and it is only one review. Normally for book reviews we need a handful or so to show notability, the number depending on the quality of the sources and length of reviews. -- GreenC 13:00, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Normally" makes it sound like the standard is universally applied. Just for giggles, I clicked on the "random article" link. The first two times, the articles were better than mine but the third (Louis Jaque also Canadian as it happens, but a painter) has no citations at all!71.174.67.162 (talk) 16:24, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's "normal" because WP:AUTHOR says "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" .. one book review is not "multiple". How many multiple depends on what people thing is enough to establish notability, which is a function of quality and reach of sources.

London Buses route 414[edit]

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

There was an AfD on this less than six months ago. Is it any more notable than before? Laun chba ller 18:53, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect: the article should probably have been reverted to its redirect, but that's unfortunately been forestalled by this nomination, which I hope turns into a SNOW closure. The current article is smaller than the one that was redirected with much of its text taken from that one, and all four of its citations are also from that version, so it's at least as lacking in notability as its predecessor, if not more so.

Comment When most of the articles have been redirected to the list, will this part of the list of UK bus routes be deleted as the others were? Peter James (talk) 21:43, 31 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- If the consensus at AfD has been to redirect titles like this to a list, then there is consensus that the list should exist and so it should not be deleted without explicit consensus. Buses in London are qualitatively different to buses in almost every other part of the UK and so the arguments applied to one do not automatically apply to the other. Thryduulf (talk) 16:44, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - It depends on the reason for redirecting to the list. If it's lack of notability, as is the case with many fictional characters or locations, these have been redirected to the lists and then the lists deleted. Even if there's consensus that the content should exist, but that a list or combined article may be a better way of presenting the information, I'm not sure (the current discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/UFO sightings in China is an example). The situation with buses in London appears to be because of different views of participants in the Buses and London WikiProjects; listing the least notable London routes but not the more notable routes in other places (whether in the UK or elsewhere) may be an example of systemic bias. Peter James (talk) 17:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If you think that List of London bus routes should not exist then you should AfD it. That said, it has been kept twice.--Laun chba ller 17:23, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm neutral on that, I just think that topics should be structured with as little bias as possible (and unfortunately it's inevitable that there will still be some if these lists exist at all, because verifiability may be a problem). With the AFD process, its possible that (for example) in a list split alphabetically, or by year, some pages could be kept and others deleted. If "List of UK bus routes" is created maybe this could be merged into it. Peter James (talk) 17:56, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A list of UK bus routes would be unwieldy and arguably indiscriminate as there is no central organisation or single authority for the whole of the UK. In contrast, bus routes in London are trivially verifiable both individually and as a set as they are all regulated by Transport for London. Additionally there have been books written about buses in London as a whole and about some routes individually (I haven't looked to see if the 414 is among those), with some routes dating back over a century. Thryduulf (talk) 23:52, 1 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't know some routes had been written about individually. The 414 certainly hasn't been because it is too recent a route but care to give examples of routes that have?--Laun chba ller 09:42, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I can't provide any examples off the top of my head unfortunately, but I recall some were listed in one of the previous discussions where bus routes in London were brought up (there have been many though and I can't remember where or when it was). I'll ask the question of an email group about public transport in London that I'm part of which is frequented by many bus enthusiasts though (rail based transport is more my thing). Thryduulf (talk) 22:51, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Overnight two people have independently mentioned route 84 (which runs to St Albans).

Comment: This is one of a veritable flood of reinstated from redirect (and somewhat re-edited) bus-route articles by Ibsiadkgneoeb in the past few days. Route 414 was the first, and had an edit summary of "new article"; all the subsequent restorations (starting June 1) merely say "copy edit", which is not accurate for a restoration: routes 295, 91, 345, 490, 430, 235, 344, 319, 90, 46, 124, 474, 425, 147, 85, 119, 200, 32, 332, 316, 21, 242, H28, 333, 423, 145, 181, 225, 199, and 273. (I've spot-checked these, and there may be an expansion or two in there, but all the ones I checked were indeed restorations.) Notability remains dubious, and I've just reverted 199, as the text and sourcing is much the same as the previous version, which was reverted due to lack of notability. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:04, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While I do acknowledge that some of these articles are comparatively small when compared to like articles, I find it frustrating when in bus operator articles such as Arriva London, Tower Transit etc where routes are wikilinked, that many default to the List of London bus routes article which offers little info above listing the route, its operator and destination. Yes the older routes have more to say and are likely to have a greater audience, but shouldn't we be seeking to divulge as much info as possible, within reason? I think it would be an overkill to have separate articles for individual school routes, or if an article can't offer anything more than what is covered in the List of London bus routes article.

No I did not seek consensus, but with the exception of this article, all others copyedited were redirected by two long since retired editors on the basis that no verifiable cites could be found, no consensus cycle ever being gone through. Only articles with cites have been reintroduced, if none could be found I have left. While I have used the previous edits as a base, have sought to beef up and verify rather than just perform straight reinstates. End result is some are a bit larger, some a bit smaller. Some of the articles are now much broader and compliant than like articles that have hitherto not been challenged. Route 436 for example was introduced at the same time as the 414, has had one change in vehicle type. Some routes by their nature see more change than others. Some routes still operate more or less as they did in the 1950s while other like route 425 have involved 3 operators in less than 6 years.

An alternative would be to add a history section for each route in the List of London bus routes, but I imagine it would become unwieldy considering it is already 165k.

While some of the articles particularly for the newer routes are relatively small and with little to be said at this stage, it does lay a foundation for future editors after the current generation of editors leave the Wiki building, who may not have access to some of the offline cites. In fifty years, the 414 may have had six operators, eight vehicle types and other events that would justify a stand alone article without question. I would have thought best if the article be built up in 'real time' when the cite and knowledge pool is at its peak, rather than retrospectively when this has diminished. Ibsiadkgneoeb (talk) 15:32, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of Pokemon splits into (1-100), (101-200) etcetera. If we did what you're suggesting and model it after List of night buses in London, I'd say that's a very good idea.--Laun chba ller 15:46, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ibsiadkgneoeb, it comes down to notability, and that means mention in third-party reliable sources (bus company websites or press releases don't count), not any old cite. 199, the one I reverted, had a single citation, nowhere near enough even if it is reliable (and I couldn't find an "About" page to see what I could determine about them, though a URL that includes "londonbusesbyadam" naturally causes some concern). The articles I've looked at just don't qualify as notable. We don't add non-notable articles here at Wikipedia because they may someday become notable, we wait until they are notable to add them. And if they are notable, that sort of sourcing will be there. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:57, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean "londonbusesbyadam.zenfelio.com"? I once had a citation from that source removed from an article by CourtneyBonnick, who later confirmed that it is not a reliable source.--Laun chba ller 18:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Exceptions do, of course, exist—especially in the case of very famous books." — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 18:32, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Well, if this was an attempt to nominate an article about an obscure character from an unnoticed novel, the shot has gone a bit wide. I'm sure more has been written about Hamlet (I mean the character, not the play) but the character of Gerty MacDowell has been the subject of masses and masses of literary (and legal![11]) analysis. It would have been good to have clicked some of the "find sources" so conveniently provided above. The dreadful shame is that this article doesn't give a clue about any of this. Mmm.

Comment. For something as canonical, and as heavily studied, as Ulysses, it's likely that (nearly) every character could have an article. However, many of the articles in Category:Ulysses (novel) characters seem to be as brief this one. As an editorial decision, we could decide to merge and redirect the very stubby articles to List of Ulysses characters (which is currently just a naked list of names, without context or discussion), until there's too much content about a particular character to fit in the list. Either way, this wouldn't be deleted at AfD.--Arxiloxos (talk) 23:06, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- A collection of unrelated projects in one article? If it's an overview article, or a list article, that's fine, if it's supposed to be the full article, I think that falls under undesirable types of articles. We're not a paper encyclopedia, everything doesn't need to be on one page. In any case, many of the German military projects unfulfilled by war's end already have individual articles, so it is not inconceivable that the other major combatants of WWII would be similarly covered.

As I don't have the sources or the ability to read Japanese, I don't know. However I do know that it appears we can verify (assuming good faith on the sources in the Japanese wiki article) that the project existed, however it does not even come close to having sufficent notability for a standalone article. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 20:34, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is a non-starter as a standalone article, but it could still be utilised as a few words in Ibuki mainspace, at least mentioning the project. That would save project no G18 from complete oblivion. Perhaps we know of a Japanese Wikipedian naval specialist. This all would obviously be based on the reliability of the Japanese sources. I think that's what Jun had in mind? Irondome (talk) 20:45, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Given that Sturmvogel 66 wrote both of the Ibuki articles, it would be worthwhile to get his opinion on the issue. Parsecboy (talk) 20:40, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The best English-language sources on the Japanese cruiser and carrier construction programs, Lacroix, & Wells's Japanese Cruisers of the Pacific War and Lengerer's article "Katsuragi and the Failure of Mass Production of Medium Sized Aircraft Carriers" make no mention of any conversion of heavy cruisers into carriers other than the Ibukis. They were the only two heavy cruisers ordered under the Circle Urgent construction program of 1941 and no others were projected through 1948. One Ibuki was converted into a carrier and the other was broken up a month after construction began under the post-Midway construction program as the IJN scrambled to replace its losses. Lengerer does mention that the IJN anticipated building modified Taiho- and Unryu-class carriers after the first batch was completed, but provides no details nor even a design #. He does say that the Unryu's were coded as G15, but I'm not sure how these design codes were allocated so I don't know if the G prefix was for purpose-built carriers or not. So I think that the above information about a conversion from a heavy cruiser design is incorrect unless that was the design # for the Ibuki conversions. Barring further information, I see no reason to keep this article; if further info is translated that clarifies the situation we can decide how to handle it then.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:39, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds like the Unryu conversions were the events we have sources for, and the 2 Ibuki's were seperate and minor schemes. I think they have been conflated. Many IJN archives were destroyed IIRC. IMHO I think we should wait say a month for any futher info to surface if any, and if still zilch at the end of june, delete. Irondome (talk) 22:58, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Unryus weren't conversions at all; they were purpose-built.

Major Unryus slap in order then. Temporarily lost it and I blame the Japanese language :)Bottom line if there is no evidence that this was a designated project, delete. Wait a few weeks maybe. Cheers Irondome (talk) 23:33, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Trendae, Firstly, none of the video links are working for me. I've had to tag the interviews as dead links. Secondly, interviews aren't going to do much to establish the subject's notability, since Wikipedia is interested in secondary sources, and an interview is typically considered a primary source. We're looking for references that speak ABOUT the subject, without being related to the subject. If the subject is working with TED, then we wouldn't use TED's website as a source for objective coverage of the subject. I'm a little unclear as to why, if you had been working on your first article through the articles for creation process here, your friends decided to jump the gun and submit the same incomplete article in live space.

Exception paradox[edit]

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

This unreferenced article describes a paradox which has next to no trace in any literature. A GBooks search finds a lot of false hits and a series of three books by one author. He appears to be not without credentials but the fact that so basic a thing is only described by him suggests that the idea isn't notable. Mangoe (talk) 16:29, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nicholas Rescher Paradoctor (talk) 16:46, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A Gscholar search for "every rule has an exception" paradox nets 38 hits and "there is an exception to every rule" paradox gets 56 hits; of the hits I was able to access, none called it an "exception paradox" and the paradox tended to treated very briefly. That the proverb is a paradox is verifiable, but I don't see enough depth in any of the sources I looked at to pass WP:GNG. It might be worth noting under the "There is an exception to every rule" entry in List of proverbial phrases that the phrase is paradoxical, with a ref. --Mark viking (talk) 20:35, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep-The first of the above two votes shows the danger of assuming the brevity of an article is an indication of its potential. Both, the danger of assuming that Roman public works were the same system as modern ones. Roman historians will avoid the use of the phrase "public works" for the responsibilities of the Roman censors and Aediles, as they had many other duties than public works, and their public works duties included urban planning duties as well as infrastructure building and maintenance. The article has been expanded greatly, and has great potential for further expansion. I will definitely be first to say it, and I may or may not be excused for saying it, and hopefully I will be the last to say: Rome wasn't built in a day.

Massacres in Mamuret-ul-Aziz Vilayet[edit]

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

There is some material in this article that can be used but it is not enough to substantiate a stand alone article. I see nothing but two sentences regarding Mamuret-ul-Aziz (Harput). Besides, why does Mamuret-ul-Aziz get its own article? Should we have articles for the massacres in the Vilayets of Van, Diyarbakir, Mush, Sivas as well? Best thing to do is move this to Armenian Genocide article Étienne Dolet (talk) 06:41, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Also the article is full of things like this: "The first sign of danger was the appearance of Kurds supporting the Ottomans from the regions north and east. Villages were attacked, looted and burned, and villagers were killed or scattered. For a time, the marauders seemed to hold aloof from the city itself, but as they kept on their course of pillage their appetite for plunder was whetted, and they looked with avaricious eyes at the city on the hill.". It is not neutral. Sairp (talk) 11:35, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm finding sufficient press coverage to establish notability, although a lot of it comes from her having attempted to interview Klaus Kinski (the result was issued on DVD and attracted critical commentary). I've added some references, more to come. Yngvadottir (talk) 13:20, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- That's good, but are any of those sources mentioning her more than in passing? The fact that she did some interviews with notable people and such is not an indicator her notability; but simply of her doing her job as a journalist.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 14:47, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes they are. As I say, the DVD attracted critical reviews: two of which I have added to the article. Both talk at length about the Kinski interview, how he behaved and how she reacted, how she appears in the interview. The Radio-Kurier article is about three RTL personalities, of which she is one: I expect to add more from that source but had to end my earlier editing session. The first Der Spiegel source I cite, the 1988, has less about her—it devotes a sentence or two to one programme she was slated to co-host. Click on them and you can see the extent of the coverage. Yngvadottir (talk) 15:12, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

      - Thanks, I think I'm done; I managed to find a reliable source for the Eurovision stint, although Google won't let me see even a snippet from the book on Eurovision and the book on Luxembourg that it tells me include a line about it. There may well be more book mentions out there (I imagine there's a history of RTL somewhere), but I think I've found all I can. And I do think it suffices to show that she had an important career.

Weak keep - Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG (i.e., I cannot find independent, reliable sources that cover her extensively). She also doesn't seem to pass WP:CREATIVE for journalists. That said, however, she did win the 2010 Best Radio Newscast Award from the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster (Association of Broadcasters of the Philippines), the most prestigious organization in the local industry according to this report by ABS-CBN. I cannot confirm the validity of the claims in the article as it is now (e.g., that she won a Golden Dove, which is similarly the most prestigious award in Philippine mass media). That said, I am not sure if the Best Radio Newscast Award—let's consider only this one for now as there is no confirmation yet if she'd actually won a Golden Dove—constitutes "a well-known and significant award or honor" as stipulated in WP:ANYBIO item 1.

The merge discussion has been stagnant for a while, as you've seen.

No evidence of reliable, independent coverage of any depth, failing to meet the criteria per WP:GROUP and WP:GNG. Creator of article appears to be the group's founder. --Animalparty-- (talk) 02:35, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - User is a trusted group reviewer on some wikis. The Living History of Illinois and Chicago is a real group. Many famous members and contributors have posted history and photographs. Before considering deletion, look at the depth of the postings and photos presented. There are some major articles and news stories in the works. Citations were added.

Notability of an organization is not inherited through its members, per WP:ORGSIG. The new references are simply results of a Facebook search (primary sources of an unreliable source), and the examples may be cherry-picked to increase the apparent notability, which may constitute original research. Only if reliable, independent sources assert the claim of "many famous members" can it be considered evidence of notability, but still may not satisfy the criteria of WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:GNG.--Animalparty-- (talk) 14:56, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

--Animalparty-- is absolutely right, though I don't think it would satisfy those criteria. There are plenty of committees, councils and forums with notable members which aren't themselves notable.

Comment One of his novels has won an award from the Independant Book Publishers Association, but I don't know if this is considered a significant award.TheLongTone (talk) 11:18, 29 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Obscure author. Typically need some mainstream book reviews to meet AUTHOR. Maybe I am missing it but can't find any. Based on the bio at Amazon he is a businessman from LA with blurbs the Mayor of LA etc.. the book awards are not significant and one USA Best Book Awards is a vanity award. His publisher Glyd-Evans has a catalog of 6 books of which Maitland's comprise 3. -- GreenC 23:44, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nominator. Deleted once already in 2009. Since it's been recreated it has been a slow-burning edit war. If this were uncontroversial I would leave it, on the theory that it's borderline and might improve. But it seems likely to be a continual edit war between two parties; as a BLP, not worth the potential harm. – SJ + 20:11, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as editor. William Nicholas Gomes is not a significant figure in Bangladesh. I suspect William Nicholas Gomes himself editing this article by using user name Totapakhi. This article was mostly cited with self published news and blog posts and was used to defame a political party in Bangladesh, which is against Wp:NPOV.--FreemesM ^(talk) 07:38, 24 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. This is probably speedyable given that there's zero coverage in reliable sources and the ones in the article that could be seen as reliable don't actually discuss the group at all. Also, the writing at times seems like it was written by a member of the group and it reads a little in favor of it, so it could be seen as a little promotional.
