Keep The nominator is blatantly incorrect. This is an article that's been around for a decade, passed AfD already and for which there are multiple awards and recognition listed in the article, most notably from the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program, a claim backed by appropriate reliable and verifiable sourcing for receipt of the highest award given to primary and secondary schools in the United States. There are other state and national awards listed, which goes far beyond the typical school article and exceeds the notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 01:55, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Over 7,500 schools have received been named blue-ribbon schools. Is that notable? Jacona (talk) 14:54, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to West Windsor-Plainsboro Regional School District per WP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES. This is a primary school (grades K-3), and as such it needs to pass GNG to be kept. (We probably didn't have the SCHOOLOUTCOMES guideline at the time of the previous AfD back in 2005.) In a search I found absolutely no independent reliable sourcing about this school. The claim that being a Blue Ribbon school makes it automatically notable has never gained consensus; the U.S. Department of Education hypes it as "the highest honor a school can receive" but that's just what it is: hype. There is absolutely no reason why we should have an article about this primary school. --MelanieN (talk) 01:20, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as recommended by MelanieN. Surviving a 2005 AfD is irrelevant in 2014. The National Blue Ribbon School Award was a self-nominated award until recent years. This school "won" the award long before self-nomination was eliminated. In my opinion, a self-nominated award can never be evidence of notability. I favor redirecting articles about the vast majority of elementary schools, except for those of exceptional architectural or historical significance.

Keep Middle Schools can be notable. This one validates its claim to notability by documented high achievement.ShulMaven (talk) 21:26, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
~~Keep~~Redirect I agree that the AFD from 2005 means little now (some of the keeps then boiled down to "It exists, so it's notable") but the Top 10 New Jersey school rating seems enough for a weak keep. Meters (talk) 05:17, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Perhaps I should have just asked opinions on whether the NJ ranking is sufficient for notability. If it isn't I'll happily change to a "redirect". Meters (talk) 05:28, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment I'd consider first place notable, but 8th? Jacona (talk) 21:04, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment Fair enough. This school is in the top 1% of the state's schools. The top 1% of the nation's elementary and junior schools would be roughly 1000 schools. That's somewhat more selective than the Blue Ribbon award but not really notable. And that's only considering US schools. I'm changing to a redirect. Meters (talk) 23:16, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per ShulMaven and Meters and others. By the way it's not easy to win a self-nominated award, you have to be a) worthy of the award, b) pass evaluation.... --doncram 22:43, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply About 5% of U.S. schools have won this award, well over 7000 schools. You really think that an award given so widely confers notability, Doncram? Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 22:51, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was very surprised to read the deletion notice on the top of the VIODANCE article, for I was present in the recent VIODANCE party which was held in Tel Aviv on november 22nd. This article was cited in the Event Page on Facebook and its URL was as well written. You may find it via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/events/1510816555861019 In addition, rebel associated twitter and facebook pages did post a couple of years ago, about a top secret party held in Jouber district in Damascus which was given the headline of VIODANCE. There isn't any trace of it online because of Bashar Alasad regime's work of destroying every piece of potential rebellious information. In the bottom line, VIODANCE parties ARE a significant type of parties in different countries. This IS a cultural phenomenon that deserves an article of its own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abrahamrosenbaum (talk • contribs) 21:25, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Interested in this contraversy as I wrote the original entry for this organisation. They are in the European public health area and have done much work in regards to women's health for example, the Cancom project was developed from the fact that a very small percentage of women were in the 1995/6 times part of the internet audience. Cancom was their attempt at putting this onto the net to demonstrate to women what sort and value of information could be generated and disseminated through this medium. With regards to their website it currently has in the region of just under 1000 backlinks from other organisations. The documents that they originate have direct inputs from many of the leading experts (in their field) and organisations in their specific areas of expertise. Their website currently has over 1400 pages mostly put there by volunteer supporters after the annual cull of older information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmaguire (talk • contribs) 13:03, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Everymorning and Basie, thoughts on the new sources? czar ⨹ 02:31, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Are they in the article now? If so, I'm currently looking at the "Social Construction" one on Google Books. I can't look at pages 151-154 (only 150), but it's just included on a list of other women's interest groups on that page, so while it's possible that the other pages I can't look at talk about it more, I'm not sure if that's significant enough coverage to count toward notability, at least very much. Then there's "Women's Health in Europe", which just mentions the organization rather than talk about it in depth. I'm not sure this meets the requirement of depth of coverage needed for notability (WP:ORG). Everymorning talk to me 02:38, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with the above analysis and a search with Google Scholar reveals a number of academic articles that cite the institute. --I am One of Many (talk) 08:18, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Son of Devastation[edit]

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

This has been tagged as a hoax. From the author's other contributions, I don't think it was intended to deceive, but it certainly fails WP:Verifiability. The verse in question is 2 Thessalonians 2:3, and the King James translation is "the son of perdition". Among the other main versions the most common alternative is "the son of destruction". None that I have found use "the son of devastation", and a Google search for the phrase finds only irrelevancies and (an alarming number of) WP mirrors. The book "Hebrew Bible Words and Phrases" looks promising, but it is one of those "books" made of regurgitated WP articles. In Daniel 8:25 the one who "by peace shall destroy many" is "a king of fierce countenance", and the assertion that he is the same as the "son of devastation" is unsupported OR. I considered redirecting to the existing article Son of Perdition, but in view of the complete lack of any source for this phrase, I recommend deletion. JohnCD (talk) 22:15, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Christianity-related deletion discussions. JohnCD (talk) 22:15, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't think that this was an intentional hoax or attempt to misinform, but the result is still the same: I can't see where the specific phrase is used anywhere in relation to 2 Thessalonians. I think that this was just a case of someone mis-remembering the phrase and/or hearing someone use it in a sermon or speech where someone else used it and that person decided to come on to Wikipedia and add the phrase. It's relatively common for stuff like this to happen, especially with people assuming that they can pull one word out and substitute whatever other word that sounds similar enough to their ears (thousands of people who have translated the Bible from its original Hebrew and Greek are weeping at the idea of this), but the long and short is that this term is not used anywhere that I can find on the Internet that would come even remotely close to being a reliable source. I know that I've never heard the phrase used in any of my biblical study classes, that's for certain. Either way, this phrase is not in use anywhere that would "count" and given that it's not used anywhere I can see on the Internet, it's pretty much nothing more than a neologism that someone came up with one day. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:18, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
redirect to Antichrist -- This is not a hoax, and is a literal translation of the Greek (according to a footnote in one transalation, but apart from the possible link from Daniel, this nis the only Biblical use of the term. The fuller phrase is the man of Lawlessness, the son of Destruction (KJV perdition). This is presumably a refernece to the Antichrist. The passage cited is quoted in that article, which states it is a reference to the Antichrist, though that title does not appear in 2 Thess. 2. Unless someone will provide details of reputable commentators providing a differnet interpretation, which might merit retention as a separate article, I can see no purpose in having this article which can never become more than the stub it now is, without duplicating my suggested target. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:32, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - no indication that this phrasing has any currency in biblical studies/theology. Metamagician3000 (talk) 10:28, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ronald B. Scott[edit]

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

Non-notable journalist whose only claim to fame is writing an unauthorized biography of Mitt Romney in 2011. Most sources in the article are written by him, others are about what he has to say about Romney, and the only source that does talk about him is Deseret News saying he has been named its sports editor, which is not an independent source. Thus there are no reliable, independent sources that establish notability, and a Google search didn't bring up any other sources, either. This article was at AfD 2 years earlier, and was deleted.

Request Hi, I'm the article creator, and this is my first time defending myself at an adf! I honestly though I'd established notability, and surprised by this. The Romney book sold relatively well, and was reviewed, and Scott had a long career at various peridocals. I'm sort of at a loss, but assistance at this stage would be appreciated.

Delete; what we'd need is third-party coverage of Scott, and we have precious little of that. His own works do not contribute to notability in the absence of third-party sources discussing him in some detail. As an aside, Ceoil, please don't take this personally; this isn't an attack against you, but a discussion whether the topic of the article meets the inclusion criterial. Huon (talk) 19:55, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Huon, I realise that :) Its was my first venture in to US politcs; usually I edit in the camer waters of 15th c art history, so all this is new to me.

Keep per WP:AUTHOR #3, multiple book reviews. Artists such as authors are notable based on reviews or discussions of their works. Reviews include Washington Times, NPR, Desert News, New York Review of Books, NY Times. Some of these are more significant coverage than others but the quality of sources helps improve the notability. I could probably find many more reviews in commercial databases if requested, this was a quick 2 page Google results. -- GreenC 16:13, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The only really strong source here is the NY Review of Books article. The others are either mentions or less strong sources. (I could not find any article in Time magazine that matches the citation.) However, article needs to be based less on Scott's own writing, and more on third-party sources.

Audrey Bitoni[edit]

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

Non-notable pornographic actress whose article is supported by poor sources. Fails both PORNBIO in that her "awards" are not significant and the general notability guidelines due to the paucity of reliable sources that exist for her. Morbidthoughts (talk) 21:45, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I disagree with the notion that Audrey Bitoni is a "non-notable" pornstar. She's been around since 2006. She's made 234 titles as per IAFD, including scenes for elite companies such as Brazzers and Bangbros. Her twitter page has 134,000 followers even though she never responds to her fans' tweets (For reference, Gracie Glam has 91,000 followers on twitter). She has an AVN Award nomination for Best New Starlet. The cited sources are mostly interviews, some of which are even videos (So you have direct, visual proof). Redban (talk) 23:58, 30 November 2014 (UTC)Redban[reply]

That direct visual "proof" is a promotional video from Brazzers, falling under WP:NOTRELIABLE. Morbidthoughts (talk) 00:28, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The ZZinsider video is hardly "promotional." Is there a reasonable cause to believe she lied in that interview, given the general tone and the non-sexual answer relating to her name's origin? It's not as though the interview was part of a porn flick. Furthermore, her page uses many other interview sources from radioshows, magazines, and internet sites.108.41.160.197 (talk) 02:45, 1 December 2014 (UTC)Redban[reply]

It is a promotional video by Brazzers and it wasn't even uploaded to Youtube by them.[4]. The whole point of this AfD is that the article based these poor sources does not satisfy the notability guidelines. Morbidthoughts (talk) 06:38, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it's worth much to you, I found out that she was nominated for "New Starlet of the Year" in 2008 for XBiz. That plus the 3 AVN nominations is solid for a woman who has done 234 films. Gianna Michaels did 200+ more scenes than Bitoni, and she has 4 AVN awards and 1 XBiz, a similar rate to Bitoni. 108.41.160.197 (talk) 03:03, 1 December 2014 (UTC)Redban[reply]

I appreciate the info and I think its fairly well known how much I stand up for the under-represented ones of society, but even I have to face facts.

Delete per nominator's sound and accurate analysis. There is no credible claim that the subject passes PORNBIO, with only nominations and insignificant employee-of-the month type awards. No independent sourcing as required by the GNG and by BLP, just blogs, promotional interviews, press releases, and data dumps. No reliable sourcing for any biographical content; none meeting the standard of "a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". Just another BLP contrived from primary and promotional sources. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 14:05, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Our sources are Xcitement Magazine, ZZBabes, ZZinsider (video), Tampa Deja Vu (Video), XXXWasteland, XBiz, XtremeMagazine, and a Mark Madden (video) interview for 105.9 radio. Plus, we have the usual IAFD.com. Granted, these sources may seem like trashy, unreliable "press releases" and/or "promotional interviews," but you apparently forget that she's a pornstar. You're not going to get any information from the federal government or from CNN about Audrey Bitoni. The sources we're using for her page are the best we can do for her, or for any pornstar except Jenna Jameson, Sasha Grey, and Ron Jeremy. Either this page remains or you remove 99% of the pornstar biographies on Wikipedia. 108.41.160.197 (talk) 19:38, 1 December 2014 (UTC)Redban[reply]

If 99% of the pornstar biographies on Wikipedia don't have sources that would meet our standards for living people in other professions then you are right, we should remove 99% of the pornstar biographies on Wikipedia.

Comment. Doesn't seem to pass WP:PORNBIO. However, instead of this page being deleted, I'd suggest that PORNBIO needs to be changed so that obviously notable performers such as Audrey can remain on Wikipedia. The current guidelines basically include a handful of award winners, and exclude everyone else. 209.90.140.72 (talk) 00:47, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And what's wrong with that? We shouldn't be hosting articles about living people, especially when they are claimed to be involved in activities that many people find distasteful, without proper independent reliable sources. 82.9.185.151 (talk) 20:45, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that reliable sources are necessary. However, whether or not some people find porn to be "distasteful" should definitely NOT be a factor in determining whether someone is worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia. And narrowing the list of Wikipedia-worthy performers to award winners is especially problematic -- we don't demand that mainstream actors or athletes be award winners for inclusion on Wikipedia, so it seems like we're holding porn performers to an unfairly high standard. 209.90.140.72 (talk) 23:50, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We hold mainstream actors and athletes to the standard of having coverage in independent reliable sources, just as we do porn actors, so we are actually being scrupulously fair. And our inclusion criteria are not based on whether an article subject is "worthy". 82.9.185.151 (talk) 19:10, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stupid in Love[edit]

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

Previous AfD of 20 Rihanna song articles was closed as keep with no prejudice against individual nominations.

Let's take a look at the article. "Background and development" cites credits from album liner notes, and mostly vague interviews with Rihanna and songwriters/producers who worked on the Rated R album. (Note that NSONG's guidelines on coverage in third-party sources "excludes media reprints of press releases, or other publications where the artist, its record label, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the work.") Among these interviews, there are only two brief statements specifically about the song "Stupid in Love". The third paragraph is about a completely unrelated song and has no business in this article.

Meanwhile, "Composition" and "Critical reception" are based on reviews of the Rated R album, which only mention "Stupid in Love" in passing. NSONG states, "Coverage of a song in the context of an album review does not establish notability. If the only coverage of a song occurs in the context of reviews of the album on which it appears, that material should be contained in the album article and an independent article about the song should not be created."

Therefore, editors have not demonstrated the notability of this song, and it should not have an individual article.

This song charted at #7 in South Korea, and while ranking on a national music chart is listed at NSONG as a factor that "suggest[s] that a song or single may be notable", "a standalone article should still satisfy the aforementioned criteria" of "be[ing] the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works whose sources are independent of the artist and label." –Chase (talk / contribs) 19:40, 22 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment in reply to Czar - Sorry for not checking back here much.

Goodreads isn't really a good judge of whether or not something passes notability guidelines as a whole, since a book can have a ton of reviews on social media review sites like Goodreads but still not gain any coverage in reliable sources.

Red Bennies[edit]

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

Non-notable former club lacking non-trivial references. The references consist of proof someone was featured there (listings) or trivial mention of the club. Needs more in-depth support to establish notability. reddogsix (talk) 00:09, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - There is in fact a great deal of non-trivial in-depth coverage of this topic by independent reliable sources, satisfying the very core of WP:GNG. [13][14][15] That it's a "former" club has nothing to do with notability. Slapping a "notability" tag only three minutes of article creation and then nominating for AfD less than a day later after an abundant amount of sources have been added is not helpful to this project. --Oakshade (talk) 08:15, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Interviews with their creative director - hardly independent. These are short articles - I would question the depth of the coverage. Like I indicated, there are a lot of listings for the artists that played there, but I question the non-trivial coverage. BTW - my indication of this as a "former" club does not have any bearing on the notability - it was just used to clarify the description. reddogsix (talk) 16:24, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews by Independent sources are in fact in-depth coverages of a topic. If the topic interviewed themself in a self-published work then you'd have a point. But even the non-interview profiles are enough coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. --Oakshade (talk) 18:13, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews are primary sources. The article lacks in-depth secondary sources. reddogsix (talk) 19:31, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The interviews were conducted and published by secondary sources, not by Red Bennies itself. That conducting and publishing of interviews is in-depth coverage. Red Bennies is not Time Out or Beat magazines. They are secondary to Red Bennies. That these secondary sources found the topic notable enough to give coverage to this topic by interviewing the director, demonstrates notability. Using the club director's words, the primary source you're referring to, from an interview conducted and published by a secondary source would only be an issue if the words supported article content, ie "Red Bennies is the most popular club in Australia" when only the club director said so and not a secondary source did. By claiming the words in an interview within coverage by secondary reliable source is "primary" is simply a red herring. --Oakshade (talk) 20:41, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews can and are sometimes published by parties other than the interviewee, this does not negate the fact that it "...[still holds] an insider's view of an event, a period of history, a work of art, a political decision, and so on." What appears to be missing is the third-party in-depth "...interpretation, analysis, or evaluation of the facts, evidence, concepts, and ideas taken from primary sources." I am not trying to "bust your chops" here, I am only indicating why I disagree. I have no dog in the game, so perhaps this is better left to the community to decide.

Comment - If there were one or two interviews with legitimate news outlets, I might agree with user:reddogsix, but there are 43 footnotes on this page, so I think this passes the notability threshold. I am slightly concerned that this article is written without an NPOV, and also that the article has been authored by one user, which appears to be a single purpose account (though this may be their first edits.)--Theredproject (talk) 23:04, 24 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article could certainly use a lot of cleanup in terms of encyclopaedic style, grammar etc. It could also use some better references. But I don't think it's valid to propose deletion based on a lack of notability after less than a month.

Having an ISBN doesn't mean it's catalogued by LAC. I'm not finding it when I search Library and Archives Canada, even using the ISBNs. Can you provide a link to it at LAC? But even if it is catalogued, that doesn't mean the book is notable. It's a minimum standard. But if it's not catalogued, it absolutely fails notability requirements.

Delete. I can't find anything to show that this would pass notability guidelines. It has one sole review from Foreword, but they really aren't considered to be a reliable source since they opened their "review for fee" service, Clarion. (If a site is taking payment in any form, even if it's in a specific branch, then their reviews as a whole are generally viewed with suspicion.) This is why the recent reviews from Kirkus are generally not seen as reliable either, although I will occasionally try to use reviews from before they started their RFF arm, Kirkus Indie. (And I'd like to state that part of what makes me so leery of Foreword is that unlike Kirkus, Foreword does not clearly mark their paid reviews as being such, which makes any review from Foreword suspicious. Plus they're notorious for their vanity awards.) In any case, even if we did count this review (which is from Clarion and is thus an unusable paid review) it would still not be enough to assert notability. 07:06, 3 December 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tokyogirl79 (talk • contribs) 07:06, 3 December 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]

Non notable instrument Mr. Guye (talk) 04:59, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rename to the proper title i.e. the actual name of the instrument, Poeng mang. The nominator could be forgiven for his mistaken suggestion that a ubiquitous traditional musical instrument is not notable, since the article was improperly named. The Haunted Drum is actually the name of a film which includes the drum as a plot device, but the name has nothing to do with the actual instrument.

Keep and rename. From The Royal Institute dictionary [22] the term Poeng mang refers to a kind of drum. Poeng mang khok refers to the whole instrument consists of the Poeng mang drums and the cage (Khok). The diagram in the safety code above points out the distinction.

Keep for now - Since I patrol new Japan-related pages, I noticed this before but did not mark it for deletion because the name "Fumitaro Ohama", which is supposed to be the real name of this person, comes up with lots of hits, such as [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], etc. There are also hits for his Japanese name 大浜史太郎: [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], etc. Not all are significant, but they are an indication that his name regularly appears in the business and fashion press. What I am unsure about is the name "Jake F.R.". I have yet to find a reliable sources that says that Ohama is Jake F.R. (though given the odd name, it is hard to search). The Japanese wikipedia page does not even state that Ohama is Jake. If no sources can be found, I think the name of the article should be changed to Ohama, which is clearly the name most often used in the media both in Japanese and in English.

Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:30, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tokyogirl, the article creator apparently does not understand the applicable notability standards for either a college football "rivalry" series or a trophy. Per WP:NRIVALRY, no sports rivalry is inherently notable and must satisfy the general notability guidelines per WP:GNG, with significant coverage of the series as a "rivalry" in multiple, independent, reliable sources. For a stand-alone article, a rivalry trophy must likewise satisfy the general notability guidelines. In this instance, it is seriously doubtful whether either the trophy or the series (as a "rivalry") satisfy GNG. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:27, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep/Merge: There is a 54 game rivalry between these teams - this article could be merged with that page. Meanwhile, the trophy is a physical entity that, admittedly, was just created this year and hasn't had time to travel. I find the trophy notable because it was created by a groundswell of fan support, not as an Astroturfed administrative decision like the Freedom Trophy - DiogenesNY (talk) 15:20, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See my comments above and below. The "Freedom Trophy" is arguably not notable per GNG, as reflected by the fact that it does not have a stand-alone article. Moreover, the Nebraska-Wisconsin football series probably fails GNG as a "rivalry," and probably deserves an AfD of its own. Not every college football series that has been played twice or more is a notable "rivalry." Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:32, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Non-notable trophy for a football college football series. Given that the trophy is newly created, the subject unsurprisingly lacks significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources. Moreover, there is a serious question of whether the underlying series constitutes a notable "rivalry" per WP:NRIVALRY and WP:GNG, given that it lacks significant coverage of the series as a "rivalry". Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:20, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As a side note, DL, what about stuff like this and this? The football rivalries are redundant to the football navboxes, and none of the other "rivalries" have actual articles of their own. Someone appears to have gone through and made a whole bunch of these for the B1G teams, see Category:American college sports rivalry navigational boxes. Ejgreen77 (talk) 18:33, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Those navboxes should not exist because they are completely redundant to the Minnesota Golden Gophers and Nebraska Cornhuskers football navboxes. Please propose both for deletion at TfD and post a notice and TfD links on the WP:CFB talk page. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:57, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Minnesota–Nebraska football rivalry, presuming that article is notable itself. Ejgreen77 (talk) 19:14, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

After I get a chance to do my WP:BEFORE homework, I will be proposing Minnesota–Nebraska football rivalry for separate review at AfD. We have a lot of AfD and TfD clean-up work to do after the season is over -- especially with regard to the non-notable CFB "rivalry" articles that several users seem determined to create. Not every CFB series that has been played more than once rises to the level of a genuine rivalry that merits a stand-alone Wikipedia article -- there will be many (30+) proposed for deletion in January, February and March 2015, after the dust from the current season settles. There are also another 10 to 20 regular season game articles that still need to get whacked, too. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 22:57, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge for now to Minnesota–Nebraska football rivalry. This trophy obviously isn't worthy of a standalone article, but it might merit mention in relation to the rivalry.

Comment: It seems like two Wikipedia articles cover the same topic: Tonga national rugby league team match results and Tonga national rugby league team results. Maybe the content in these could be combined into the first article (since it's formatted better) and and the second one could be sent to AfD. - tucoxn\^talk 04:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good spotting, the two pages should definitely be merged. Mattlore (talk) 04:33, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tucoxn calls for merging the second link into the first, and the first is the subject of the AfD, so I'm not following the "merge" !votes—shouldn't it be "keep"? And then the second link can be boldly merged? No reason to take it to AfD—AfD is for deletion discussions only (such that noms proposing actions other than deletion are eligible for speedy keep). @Margin1522 and Mattlore czar ⨹ 15:18, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Czar: unfortunately this is correct. I believe having Tchaliburton alter or change the AfD nomination would facilitate that. However, neither my comment nor the above !votes address the nominator's argument for deletion: that the article in question is a list of statistics. I don't have an appropriate argument to address this, other than many other (better formatted) lists of national team rugby match results exist (as well as a template); this is a bad argument (a variation of WP:ALLORNOTHING or WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS). Otherwise, the nominator could win the AfD and the merged information could go into the other existing article (Tonga national rugby league team results), since they essentially contain the same information (a re-direct would be needed or the template and other red-links would need to be updated). In any event, I imagine this merging might involve complicated page-history merges. - tucoxn\^talk 22:05, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, to complicate things further, I've just been bold and merged the other one into this as it was prod'd. Which means the merge votes should now be read as keep. Mattlore (talk) 06:45, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What about the nom's claim that it is "not encyclopedic per WP:NOTSTATSBOOK"? czar ⨹ 07:31, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- First of all I don't think a full list of results counts as statistics. That policy would apply to a list of "Tonga national rugby league team try scorers" or a list of "Tonga national rugby league team top tacklers". Mattlore (talk) 08:24, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- As a defacto policy we do allow lists of results for national teams in major sports. E.g. see List of England national rugby union team matches. If we start deleting those we will have thousands of irate rugby fans calling for our heads. This would be easier to decide if Wikipedia:Notability (sports) had a section on where to draw the line on stats. For example, for baseball players, this (old version) of Ichiro's article had his detailed per-season stats. We don't need that. But it should be OK to have a list of results in the World Series. – Margin1522 (talk) 10:14, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

DisneyFXHD[edit]

Appears to be a hoax from someone who really likes a particular cover of "Let It Go," to the point of setting up suspiciously sparse Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook accounts. Googling for "disneyfxhd" and "disney fx hd" turn up less than 20 results each. Trivialist (talk) 03:31, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a hoax. There is no way that Disney would release a new channel without advertising it in some form or fashion. Even if the channel was run exclusively in Hindi, there would still be some English coverage out there somewhere and that it doesn't exist is pretty telling. I see the "official" fb and Twitter accounts, but no official website. Everything I'm getting is a mirror. There's just no way that Disney wouldn't plaster some sort of press release or other material on the Internet to announce a new channel, even if it was their 80th channel in that country. To the article creator, if they're watching this: you should probably take those pages down pretty quickly- Disney really doesn't like people pretending to be them and in some instances people have actually had Disney lawyers come after them. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:39, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Plus if there was any strife between Disney and another channel, there'd be some sort of coverage of that. A channel from a major company only lasting a few days? You bet your fur that there would be at least some coverage. Even taking into consideration that English Google pages do not show all of the results out there for India pages, the complete and total lack of Ghits is very, very telling. There would at least be some sort of fan chatter on the Internet and there isn't, which again- is very telling. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:47, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Grandmission: Existing does not automatically grant notability (WP:ITEXISTS) and you must show coverage in independent and reliable sources. (WP:RS) As far as people who are in and/or have interacted with the film in some aspect, notability is not inherited (WP:NOTINHERITED). The only way to show notability is to provide coverage in RS. Has anywhere reliable reviewed the film or covered it? If there is a place and they would pass muster at WP:RS/N, then it can be used to help show notability. Just be aware that WP:PRIMARY sources and self-published sources like blogs cannot show notability. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 09:48, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tokyogirl179: as I explained above the reasons to keep it, based on WP:NFILM one of a kind film, I honestly think you should keep this article. I have seen film articles on wikipedia that are way less notable than this film. Apart from the fact that this film may change people's lives in the military and helps in matters related to national security and world peace as one contributor had said; It is notable enough based on online contents, its notable people, it's verifiable. Your views are based strictly on rules of thumbs, which I respect BUT when you read WP:NFILM guidelines there are several exceptions and other scenarios not just one method to determine eligibility. grandmission[[user talk:grandmission|

When it comes down to it, all of the guidelines at WP:NFILM require that the film in question receive coverage in independent and reliable sources. You can ask just about anyone you like and they're going to tell you the same thing. Something can be the first at something, but being first doesn't automatically guarantee notability. Sometimes it just means that you're just the first. Notability is asserted by coverage, which doesn't seem to exist here. Besides that, you also have to prove that something was the first of its kind, which would also require coverage. A good example is that every year we get multiple film articles where someone claims to be the youngest filmmaker to do something without showing proof that this is the case. No administrator is going to close this as a keep without coverage in reliable sources, regardless of the assertion. It all boils down to coverage in reliable sources.

Keep it. Verifiable. Very notable. refer wp rule one of a kind movie. As a working Hollywood writer as well as the Los Angeles Indie Film Examiner I can attest to the value of the subject of the film.

The Examiner is not considered to be a reliable source on Wikipedia for various reasons and is actually listed on Wikipedia's spam blacklist. I have no problem with someone writing an article or review in the hopes of helping to establish notability for an AfD in progress, but Examiner cannot be used to establish notability.

Delete or merge into butyl rubber. I agree with the nomination that this is WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. The topic of the environmental effects of basketballs is not a notable one, and the article is really about the production, environmental fate, and recycling of butyl rubber. There is probably some useful content here that could be merged into butyl rubber. Gnome de plume (talk) 20:12, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Gnome's comment above, which is four-square on point. In the absence of significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources on the specific subject of "environmental effect of basketballs," this subject fails the general notability guidelines and represents a clear violation of WP:OR and WP:SYNTH.

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. There are relatively strong arguments on both sides of this debate. Those supporting deletion successfully establish the lack of significant third-party coverage, yet those supporting keeping the article note the success of the business, while it does not make the subject inherently notable, contributes to an argument thereof, and some argue that there are sufficient sources for inclusion (e.g., Ktr101). However, no one is arguing that the article should be deleted solely because it is of low quality, thus refuting one argument by a supporter of keeping. Ultimately, this discussion has gone on for over a month, and I am unconvinced that another seven days will facilitate reaching a consensus, so I will close this discussion as no consensus with no prejudice against a renomination if additional information on either side manifests itself.

Weak keep Mundane topics like roofing supply companies often don't attract much media hype but notability can be sussed from a broad base of sources. Several third party sources identify metrics which I wouldn't consider "trivial" or "incidental" as per the notability guidline on corporations and could even be considered inherently notable, such as almost $100 in annual sales, opening over 200 stores, recording almost $2 billion in total sales and being a large, publicly traded company. Regardless, the article needs work and it leans far too heavily on press releases and self published primary sources. GraniteSand (talk) 03:38, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:LISTED given that it has a sufficient number of reliable third party sources for a listed company. VMS Mosaic (talk) 05:06, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

We have never applied LISTED for NASDAQ. I have in past years tried repeatedly to get it accepted, but the consensus has almost always been against it. DGG ( talk ) 22:44, 20 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with a caveat Every ref in the article is a database entry or, more or less, a press release. The closest thing I've found to a WP:CORPDEPTH compatible article is [47], which has a few paragraphs of material that attempt depth. But I was unable to find anything in the article itself or this discussion so far that matched it, and the total there is not sufficient. GraniteSand's sources are warmed-over press releases. That the company is NASDAQ-listed does not in my experience demonstrate the existence of good coverage. Still, with a $1B+ market cap, I would guess that coverage may still exist, yet to be found, perhaps in specialized industry periodicals. The topic may be able to show notability if a sufficiently informed editor has access to appropriate sources and builds an article from them. This is not that article, and today, so far, is not that day. --j⚛e decker ^talk 04:08, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Assuming the primary problem is that the article lacks 3rd-party references, is that normally grounds for deletion?

Keep The article is far from perfect, but the revenue of the company and coverage outside of this site is what made me decide that it was notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 03:55, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete having tried various searches I can't come up with any better sources than the ones in the articles, which just aren't good enough: they're either first party or don't have enough depth, being routine coverage of announcements, especially financial announcements. But as already noted simply being listed on NASDAQ isn't enough for notability. I don't see any reliable coverage that doesn't follow from it being a largish listed company.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 04:46, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Really? CORP/LISTED specifically cites analyst reports as examples of coverage that is sufficient to establish notability. A simple news search (which I linked above) returns this very indepth analyst report with just 2 weeks ago as the third link. (There is also a link to get an even more detailed report with free registration to the site.) If you are classifying that, and many similar quality sources in the same news search, as "routine coverage of announcements" I am baffled. Perhaps you only read the headliens are didn't bother to check the actual depth of coverage? --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:57, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The point of notability is that parties choose to cover the firm for it's inherent notability. I.e. they find it interesting. Not that they write about it as it's their job as analysts to routinely write, even at length, about a firm because it's publicly traded. That's my problem with the above source and all the others I found.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:33, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That might be your opinion, but notability guidelines disagree. No exclusion of analyst reports is made, and indeed it is specifically cited as material that conveys notability. What you consider boring, routine stuff, people interested in business consider exciting. Business writing normally covers financials (but note most such reports also give background info on what the company does) by people paid to cover financials. That doesn't make it any less reliable or indepth - the actual notability requirements - nor does it make it indiscriminiate (business analsysts/reports do choose what they write about - no one blindly covers every company in existance!). To discount business writing because it is about money is like discounting sports writing because it is about a game or literary writing because it is about a book. --ThaddeusB (talk) 17:31, 4 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You seem confused about "inherent". Things that are "inherently" something carry that attribute without outside input or consideration. In the context of Wikipedia, things which are considered inherently notable generally don't require sourcing to establish a unique or independent notability, only to establish that they exist within the parameters which establish that inherent notability.

List of college dropout billionaires[edit]

Delete -
Violates WP:NOTDIR (non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations) as a list of people who are X and are also Y.
The sources provided relate only tangentially to the article topic - none of them deal in depth with the subject of the education levels of the super-wealthy.
The article is woefully delineated in scope - the definition of "billionaire" seems to based on the US Dollar and on the opinions of a single magazine. A more appropriate title would be List of college dropouts who are billionaires according to Forbes and providing their wealth is measured in USD.

Keep I find the topic interesting, that is, what is the relation between education and wealth. The presumption is that collegiate education helps people become affluent and wealthy, and the list is a counter-example -- showing people who became billionaires despite stopping their collegiate education before graduating. In my view, it's a useful list. The objections, above, can be handled quite easily, by simply noting that the term billionaire is based on US dollars, by using a specific methodology of a magazine.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 22:00, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Suriel1981, Wikipedia is not a depository of information, nor an indiscriminate list of people. Sure, it's nice to see college dropouts become billionaires, but this is likely NPOVed to either encourage people that dropping out results in getting rich, or rich people who dropped out are very lucky. I'm not sure where this article suggests but it definitely leads to some questions. Ultimately, you'll have to point to the issues I stated earlier and come to the conclusion that this is not a list that needs an article. Aerospeed (Talk) 03:56, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this is an indiscriminate collection that corresponds to no rational category--it might conceivably be rational to have an article or section on ones with different degree of education, but not this one specific intermediary level between those who finished college and those who never attended.

Keep. Obviously interesting list topic, obviously subject of discussion frequently in the media. Not indiscriminate at all, not a matter of random X category cross random Y category, not at all. If one wants to expand it / revise it to cover different degrees of education, too, but what is well-known is that there are college dropouts who are billionaires, like Bill Gates etc. It is not so much a topic of discussion to speak of high school dropouts or of Ph.D.s. who are billionaires; I don't recall any general remarking about those types. Give it a rest. --do ncr am 00:55, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename List of billionaires without college degrees. This gets rid of the arbitrariness of the criterion. Clarityfiend (talk) 06:15, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I think it's not arbitrary: those who chose to drop out of college are sending a more stinging message, like "i don't need no stinkin' college". I'm sure there are rich persons who didn't go to college, because they couldn't at the time, they were in the military or whatever, or they worked hard and hit paydirt in the Comstock Lode, or they were real purdy or real gold-diggers and married the right man. Those are all rags-to-riches stories, which is a different genre, a different list. The deliberate college dropouts becoming billionaires is an indictment of the hifalutin college-types. You and I are agreed that it should be kept though, and sure, revising the focus of the article and/or creating an alternative list can be considered at its Talk page. --do ncr am 02:10, 27 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Now you're skating on thin ice. I doubt that many of the listed people dropped out to make some sort of social statement (which isn't even part of the explicit criteria). Mark Zuckerberg? Steve Jobs? Bill Gates? Don't think so. They left to do something they found more interesting/profitable. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:03, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sure, I shouldn't assert they were themselves trying to make a social statement. But part of the general interest in articles about these types is the perceived social statement that some others (me included) see as implicit in their actions. And Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford were relatively uneducated (and not college educated), of the "rags-to-riches" genre, which is different than those who were in Harvard and chose to drop out because they had even better things to do. I think there's room for list-articles about both types, and that they are different. Sure, include indexing for inflation, else Carnegie (worth 380m a long time ago) would be excluded from the rags-to-riches list, while he should be included. --do ncr am 21:01, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - pure trivia, an indiscriminate list with an arbitrary inclusion criteria. This is almost entirely cited to Forbes, and a lot of the coverage is actually on the millionaires/billionaires who didn't obtain degrees, NOT solely on those who dropped out of college/university, as this list portrays. Whilst there is obviously a lot of crossover there, it doesn't help make this current article notable. This list is also solely centred around modern-day folk; people in the past, with levels of wealth that are equivalent to a modern-day billion, are obviously not going to qualify. It even lacks people in the past who DID have this level of wealth, so is a case of WP:RECENTISM. WP:ILIKEIT arguments seem to be prevalent above. An article of List of billionaires without college degrees probably should exist, but I'm not seeing how the current article is worth keeping in any form, and the change in inclusion criteria is pretty dramatic, and thus, this content being in the history would be redundant. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 02:33, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't think "pure trivia" is necessarily a trigger for deletion as User:Lukeno94 says. Nor do I think the subject is not notable: it seems like at least several times a year I read an op-ed or magazine article about self-made billionaires like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, and there is great public interest in how people become successful outside traditional avenues of material gain (college). As User:doncram says above, one of the things that makes the people in this list notable, besides that they are billionaires, is that they are billionaires in spite of dropping out of college. Having said that, I would vote keep (but I am abstaining as this is my first post in an AfD discussion), unless the info in this can be merged into the table at The World's Billionaires (e.g. a sortable "Education" column that would make it easy to find them). Also, I think we should consider whether "billionaire" is an arbitrary threshold (wouldn't dropout CEOs of Fortune 500 companies be equally interesting and meaningful) and whether to broaden college dropout to include those who never went to college at all—or does it already? Just my thoughts. Ultrauber (talk) 05:34, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Quick question Is this list including just US$ billionaires? It's based on the Forbes list, but does it include people not included in that list? If kept, the list needs to be renamed, since any country with severe hyperinflation will have lots and lots of college dropout billionaires. Nyttend (talk) 04:55, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, there are more non-US nationals than there are Americans, or at least a rough 50/50 split; I don't know if they live in the US, or not. But yeah, the list would also need to be renamed, as most of Zimbabwe probably qualified at one point. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:28, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, not quite what I meant. Is everyone on this list either (1) worth more than $1 billion US, or (2) worth enough in another currency that it would convert to more than $1 billion US? I'm trying to filter out the Zimbabwean dropouts, not people like Gautam Adani who are valued in rupees. Nyttend (talk) 12:33, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they certainly would appear to be, since basically everything is cited to Forbes. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 21:09, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
